#shibui ask

I wasn’t sure which one this referred to so I just picked one I liked

What position does your character sleep in? ( i.e; stomach, side, back, etc. ) Describe why they do this – optional.

Shibui: Sleeps on her side, often pulls her legs up into the fetal position, flips and turns a lot during the night and frequently wakes up a little stiff from being so balled up.

Pangur: Sleeps on his back, for maximum cuddling opportunity. Snores sometimes.

Irastus: Sleeps on his stomach with his hands jammed under the pillow, but also has the ability to fall asleep literally anywhere and any time at all in the most bizarre poses.

Matteus: Sleeps on his back, but also has the ability to fall asleep anywhere and any time. Sometimes sleeps with his eyes open. 

Shinonome: Sleeps on his back or his side with his hands tucked up by his chest, sleeps pretty heavily too.

Shibui: Just arrived, so she’s still picking up on the details. It’s brought her a deep sense of dread though, since it’s so similar to the GB episode, and she’s trying to reassure herself that this time she has less to worry about, without Kintsu around… which isn’t really working since she’s still afraid for Morton and his kits.

Pangur: He struggled a bit with his initial thought that Zero might be right… only to realize pretty quickly that he can’t side with anyone who threatens to kill cats. He wants to help out somehow, but he’s not sure how to go about it. He considered spying on them from the inside, but he’s really too scared to pull that off. So for now he’s just Worrying.

Irastus: He snuck into the gathering so he saw the whole thing and he’s kind of rolling his eyes at Zero. He knows there’s a lot of cats who have way too much tribe loyalty and he’s smart enough to realize that the threat of death is just gonna make cats want to join even less. He admires the thought behind it though. He’s still not gonna join them.

Matteus: He’s extremely loyal to Void tribe and would never even consider joining a faction that wanted to eliminate tribes. He has no reason to want to. I’m planning on killing him off sometime during the plot though so there’s that.

Shinonome: Thinks the whole thing is bullshit. He’s also very loyal to his tribe, and while he’s a little more inclined to sympathize with Zero’s intentions than Matti, he still can’t imagine a world without tribes. He’s not really taking the threat as seriously as he probably should, because he believes that the tribes can easily kick the exiles butts back to where they came from.

Spider: He doesn’t really understand what’s going on, but he can sense the tension and it’s freaking him out. He’s been crying more at night because he’s scared something bad will happen while he’s asleep, and he’s just generally a stressed out baby.

❤ : Would my muse have sex with yours if they asked?

I am assuming u mean the written one

notp / not really / meh / I could / sometimes / maker, yes / my otp babbies

I consider this ship’s feelings: Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other (I know Shibui still has a lingering crush on Tara, but I don’t actually know how Tara feels about her, whoops....)

I’d consider the relationship: Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together |

Children: No | Yes | They’d think about it (Idk, they seem like they’d be the happy bachelorette type, but they might consider it)

General Opinion: IDK MAN I FEEL LIKE it’s unlikely Shibui will ever fall as deeply & wildly in love with anyone again as she was with Kaze (which is probably good bc tbh there were some unhealthy undertones to her obsession), but I can totally get behind some sweet QP/quasi-romantic sorority life stuff w/ them. Shibui totally adores Tara and thinks she is just the coolest ever, so strong & brave & tough. I have no idea what Tara thinks of Shibui.

1. What do their love letters look like?MMMM Shibui writes really embarrassing letters about how cool and amazing Tara is, and how she should never be ashamed of the choices she made, and how she was a terrific leader (or w/e equiv in humandryx AU) and how everyone totally respects her and Shibui respects her even more and thinks she’s just the best and admires her a lot and Tara just lays on the floor after reading them and can’t get up.

2. First impressions of each other: Shibui was kinda dazzled by meeting the Silver-Air, and how, u know, ‘human’ (cat) she was for such an important position. And she thought Tara was super heroic and cool for pulling her and Odessa both out of the stream. Idk, Tara probably thought she was a big soggy awkward adolescent who was at least trying to help. Idk.

3. A short headcanon for the pair:HC that Shibui starts spending more time visiting Tara over the spring once she figures out she’s living in PW, because tbh she is lonely and needs to stretch her legs, so like every other day or so she’ll head down to PW and find Tara and they just kinda hang out... and they do a lot of just chilling and only making small talk occasionally, or going hunting together, which is nice for Shi bc it feels like nothing is required of her and she can just be herself. I just realized I don’t actually know as much about Tara as I think I do??? Or I wish I did??? Rush, talk to me about Tara, ok. Hmu on skype. Do it.

Aren’t you supposed to be on hiatus? //squints

I’d consider the relationship: Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together |

Children: No | Yes | They’d think about it (If they got together, I imagine Kyer would manage to convince Shibui at some point.)

General Opinion: AAAH, THESE TWO.... It’s been... Three years? I think three years. And I still love their interactions. They’ve never really become friends, (or not YET, ahaha... we can dream,) but their relationship has definitely grown and evolved significantly over that time. The best part about it though is that no matter how much they change and grow, there’s always room for more growth, and they just never get boring. I love that!! They’re probably never gonna get together in canon, since Kyer is happily taken and Shibui is happily gay, but it’s definitely fun to play around with their dynamic as a romantic pair in AU. <3

1. What do their love letters look like?Hhhhhhahahhaha, oh boy... Honestly, I'm having trouble imagining them writing love letters... Uhm, humandryx AU-wise, I think Shibui might sort of write a little letter to him saying how much she appreciates him, but never show it to him. Aaand he might accidentally find it, and decide to write a letter back, saying how much he appreciates her back, and what he likes about her, and then Shibui would get all flustered and try to write a letter back but ends up just doing a bunch of drafts that she crumples up and finally she just sends him one of those thank you greeting cards with a little chocolate or something inside. Big nerd. Kyer would laugh at her & tease her and then kiss her on the cheek and Shibui would smack him a bit. 

2. First impressions of each other: For Kyer, distrust and dislike, because of the whole thing with her ditching kit-sitting duty... For Shi, discomfort because of his reaction, and a little fear ‘cause she thought she was gonna get in trouble... and then some dislike because honestly, who’d he think he was trying to tell her what to do and how to feel about it? He didn’t understand anything. In retrospect, I think it’s really interesting how this first interaction went on to shape their entire relationship. I think if they’d had a positive first meeting, they never would have had such a negative relationship. It would definitely have been very different!

3. A short headcanon for the pair:HMMMM....... I’m waffling between doing a canon compliant headcanon or a humandryx one, so I will do both!! In human (college!) AU, I really like the concept of Shibui coming over to just kinda hang out in his place between classes (I started writing a thing about this that I need to finish) and Kyer has roommates but they’re usually busy bc I said so, like they take more classes, and Shibui just likes to sit on the couch with her legs drawn up and watch Kyer move around the house ‘cause he has these little habits like trailing his fingers on the surface of furniture and walls which is an old habit he used to sort of orient himself when he couldn’t see as well, and he’ll make them drinks or snacks or something and he reads and Shibui just sits and chills because sometimes she needs to just relax with someone and not worry about things. Or maybe they play cards, or when she’s feeling better, they play a boardgame, but like one of the ones with lots of pieces, like mousetrap or monopoly, and they throw the pieces at each other when they’re losing and they laugh a lot, which is good for them both. UHM. This is getting long, but a quick canon-y headcanon, I like the idea at some point of Shibui just sitting down and telling Kyer everything about herself in the most unbiased way she can manage, because she’s held everything inside her for so long, or told it in an intentionally self-demonizing way, and she just wants to get the facts out as they are, and at the end she goes, “With all of that said, and everything you know about me from before, will you judge me?” Like, a literal request for him to judge her, now that he knows everything. And it doesn’t matter what he says, because he knows everything, so even if he’s biased, at least he’s got the full picture. And she’d be happy with whatever he said, because it feels like, finally, closure on their big ridiculous whatever they have.
