@makowo i was thinking of komahina when i wrote that post! naegami has a little over 1k fics on ao3 whilst komahina has over 6k. and whilst i do get that nagito is more popular than any of them it really did surprise me that naegami isn't more.

CALL ME THE PREDICTER THE WAY I BE also so many of these are postgame/ultimate hope makoto thats my bad but you understand ........

headcanon a (realistic): he's REALLY had to improve his public speaking skills as the ultimate hope. i imagine makoto is very good at speaking his mind when he is passionate about something, but most other times he can't just improvise a speech on the spot. like he needs to THINK for a while yknow.... or else he just gets into his head about it. thats also why i headcanon a lot of his speeches being written for him which plays into the dilution of his whole hope persona and him turning into a brand and idea rather than a person 😎 you KNOW im always on that ultimate hope as a corporate idea bullshit .. also i always draw him with moles on his face WHATEVER ! WHATEVER !!!!

headcanon b (may not be realistic but it is hilarious): didn't know how to tie a tie during his time at hopes peak and either asked his family to do it or got one of his classmates to do it before the bell rang LMFAO. i imagine there were multiple times where he asked byakuya only for him to be like "ffs naegi 😒 fine"

headcanon c (heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends): he's such a wreck but there is no possible time for him to fall apart. it's not even about whether or not he is capable of grief, it's just that he CAN'T, even if his friends tell him its fine. this is the ultimate hope we're talking about!!! he can tell people about his grief very vaguely but he can never give them the full details of his trauma or his struggles because then they will view him as somebody to be pitied and coddled rather than somebody to admire. he can suggest that he feels bad about the killing game but he can't divulge further than that because it isn't about telling the truth, it's about making his audience comfortable. the people closest to him are so aware that he is treading an extremely fine line between completely breaking down but there truly isn't much they can do unless they convince him to step down as the ultimate hope, disappointing countless

headcanon d (unrealistic, but i will disregard canon about it): he is not a pretty crier. when that guy finally cries he cries hard, im talking completely unresponsive level of tears
