#manjo

For Manjo and Boom-El? I feel like Kojo would have extensive skincare routines and Mannys just waiting in bed for him forever-

For Manjo:

- HELL YEAH HE HAS AN EXTENSIVE SKIN CARE ROUTINE. Also, if he puts his bonnet on before bed, THAT MEANS HE INTENDS TO GO TO SLEEP. NO SEX, NO NOTHING. THE BONNET EQUALS NO BONING.

- He is, however, super active at night so sometimes he'll randomly wake up and just has the cat urge to knock shit over. He won't break it but, like, Manny just yelling from the bed room: "KOJOOOO, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT???" and he's all: "IT DIDN'T BREAK."

- Manny is going to have to get used to cuddling. Kojo absolutely adores cuddling in his sleep (don't ever tell him that to his face, he won't admit it). BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE FOR MANNY WOULD BE HIS FUCKING JAGUARS IN THE BED. He has four them and while I can imagine she LOVES cuddling with them now, sleeping with four jaguars who will sometimes nibble you in their sleep was a huge adjustment.

For Boom-El:

- Eloise feels like an early riser to me but Boomer 100% sleeps in and is always late to things. So Eloise let's him sleep and he just sleepily stays in bed and watches her get ready. HOWEVER, if its a work thing for the Daily Planet, her trying to wake him up and being all: "If you don't get up, you don't get kisses for the entire day~" and Boomer JUMPS out of bed.

- Her entire schedule is perfectly organized and it does kind of change how Boomer works but in a good way. He likes joining her on early morning jogs, he has a lot more time to not forget things, and overall has some order and structure to his life now. Which he surprisingly likes!

Kojo would show her the secret pathways from his home in the Sacred Tree and they'd run off during their lessons to hide out, mess with fisherman, scare random villagers trying to work, or just play with each other for hours until Xiomara or Jaci and Iara found them and called them down to train them again. But then when Xiomara died and Kojo ended up taking her position, he began to drift away from Manny because he became focused on BEING THE NEW HIGH PRIEST AND BEING IN CHARGE OF JACI AND IARA'S PROTECTION WAY SOONER THAN HE EXPECTED. He would start seeing Manny less and less and when she tried to hang out or invite him to play, he'd give her a sad smile before he's all: "Sorry, Manny. Maybe next time, I gotta keep training." So Manuela and Kojo...kind of not being as close as they used to be, especially with Kojo becoming an assassin to train his Celestial Jaguar instincts and channel tjem to kill enemies and not just mindless bloodshed. Meanwhile, Manny became closer to Iara and started seeing her as a big sister.

Then, Jaci and Iara assign Manuela to Yara Flor to help reconnect her properly and make up with the spirits she disrespected—causing Manny to join New Justice which Iara and Jaci also approved off BUT HER FIGHTING BLIGHT AND KOJO IS ALL: "...MANNY!?" and Manuela just smirking before she's all: "Oh, so you DO remember my name." And Ashton is all: "...Kojo, ya know that hottie-" and Kojo side eyes Ashton SO HARD before they fight and afterwards, he goes back to the Pillar of the Moon and he's all: "WHY THE HELL IS MANUELA ON NEW JUSTICE?"

Jaci: "Now what's with that tone? I figured you'd be thrilled to see her more often."

He'd run her warm baths with salts and ointments that'd clear up her nasal passages and make her feel less achey, massage her scalp so good she melts at his hands and relaxes into his hold. When she falls asleep in the tub, Kojo carrying her out with a fluffy towle and drying her off as he puts his pajamas on her and just purrs softly at her as she whimpers and sneezes in her sleep.

And even though Jaci, Iara, and Kojo have their signature animals that represent them, they all share that love and fondness for animals. Specifically, I want to talk about Kojo's fondness for them and how it shows in his own unique way.

He has NO issue killing people, he will slaughter and mutilate them to get his point across that he is NOT one to fuck with. However, when it comes to animals, he will hunt them but he will do it out of respect. True to his indigenious roots, Kojo does not hunt for sport or for game, he does it as a means to provide for Jaci's dimension and every animal he kills, he thanks them for it. And like, he uses the bones of animals he hunted to do things so he's not wasting any part of them. Turning them into jewelry *the claw necklace he always wears for example* or for his earrings and even his Celestial Jaguar Crown. He uses them as fertilizer for the gardens and shit. LIKE HE LOVES THOSE ANIMALS FR FR and wants to make sure they're honored even after death.

So him being banned from Ramone's lounge because he lowkey tries to steal his birds and Kojo's all: "WE'D TREAT THEM SO MUCH BETTER IN JACI'S DIMENSION." or like, when he's fighting Kana and her wolves, he will use nets and non lethal traps to capture them but meanwhile, he'll absolutely break every bone in Kana's body because she's not a wolf.

Or, like, because he sneaks into her house all the time, he will sometimes cook some Brazilian foods that remind her of their home country. Like, she walks in and she's all: "Oooh, smells good. I'm surprised you found time to cook after assassinating a POLITICIAN today." and Kojo shrugs as he plates her plate and makes it look a little fancy: "I've got good time management, what can I say?" and she rolls her eyes but sits next to him and she just looks at him. His face looks so soft and so calm, there's no hatred or bloodlust in his eyes.

Kojo: "Looking for a fight, Manuela?"

Manny, giggling: "No, silly, I'm just looking at you...You're so...beautiful."
