Underloved KHR

Still love KHR and always have my fingers crossed for a remake or reboot of the anime. I don't think I'll ever delete this blog (even if I've changed and grown so much as a person) but this will likely remain largely inactive.

An old request from my old blog

Nana

She never truly becomes aware of the mafia.

Is convinced Tsuna is  CEO or something in Italy.  The less she knows, the safer she is to Tsuna.

Eventually takes in even the Kokuyo Ganga and Varia members once she learns about them.  They all get packages at Christmas.

She finally gets a divorce from Iemitsu.

She makes friends her age

Let’s be honest, she’s probably one of those moms who watched the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.

MM

(I warn that my view of her is really not a nice character, so if you’re looking for fluffy MM, it’s not going to happen.  It wouldn’t be true to how I see her.)

I can’t help but see her leave the Kokuyo Gang is Mukuro ends up with anyone but her.

Red wine.  I always associate her with red wine.  It can’t be helped.

She really hates cold weather.  With a passion.

Has a surprising soft spot for snakes

I’ve always thought that she was raised by her dad for no particular reason

The idea of her hanging out with him and having fun is something really soothing

Tsuyoshi

I have always love the idea of him becoming a father figure for Tsuna.

Because the whole mafia business doesn’t bother him too much.  In fact, he really doesn’t bring it up.

He caters so many of the Vongola events.

Even with his wife gone, he enjoys the time when it’s just him and Takeshi.

Definitely the kind of person to join in on snowball fights

Requested by an anon.  Jealousy headcanons for Tsuna, Giotto and Xanxus.

Tsuna

Gets insecure at first

Tries to ignore the feeling as it’s something he’s rather used to

I mean, his s/o is loyal after all

May seem temporarily distant

Honestly, he’ll feel happy and reassured if his s/o notices

Anxiety is a bitch and them acknowledging it helps

Will not try to stop your interactions with whatever/whoever is causing the jealousy

Tsuna will get angry if he thinks the person is purposefully making advances or trying to piss him off

Angry Tsuna is not Happy Tsuna if this continues (especially after approaching)

Will not be angry with s/o and will later apologize for his outburst

He’s not an ass and doesn’t like looking like one

Giotto

Jealousy is not a feeling he’s familiar with

Growing up he never had any reason to be

Is really confused the first time he feels it

He is suddenly highly into PDA and showers his s/o with attention

Will “accidentally” separate his s/o from the offender

If it turns out to be nothing (such as a close friend), he will quickly become embarrassed

Oh, woops.  Gonna pretend I never did that.  

In the future he’s more aware and will try to handle it calmly

If he needs to, he will distract his s/o and gently remove the offender from the situation

If it’s nothing, he will simply let it be or possibly spend more time with his s/o (depending on threat level)

Xanxus 

Most people he won’t worry about

Yes, he knows his s/o is incredible and expects other people to acknowledge this

That’s just how this is.  If you’re not noticing his s/o, you’re blind and dumb

He knows jealousy.  It’s not a feeling he enjoys.  However, he also knows who is and who isn’t worth his time.

He may want to act on these lesser offenders, but let’s face it.  He’s a bit lazy.

If something is serious enough to arouse this jealousy, the offender should run

An old request from the lovely @sephora-hibari for Giotto with their OC.  (I hope you don’t mind the tag.  I did some editing to it.)

Songs for inspiration are Star of the County Down, Step It Out Mary, and Marie’s Wedding.  As performed by the High Kings.  

The sun beat down on the colorful parade going through the city.  Cheers and laughter echoed off the brick buildings, adding to the heat of the baking sun.  Giotto’s smile widened as he watched.  He’d picked a good day to visit.

Sure, people’s troubles would return tomorrow.  But at least for one day, the festival allowed them to set those aside and celebrate.  

The breeze ruffled his hair as he maneuvered through the crowd with G following close behind.  He was jostled about as he slipped through the crowded streets.  

“Giotto, isn’t there a better place we could go?”  G shoved off another man who merely nodded before returning to the revelry.

Giotto smiled brightly.   “This is the better place,” Giotto said as they found a small area closer to the edge.  

There was a sudden peal of laughter from nearby.  The sound of it hung in the air before fading off.  It was replaced almost immediately by more laughter. Giotto turned at the sound, already smiling.  

A hoard of small children surrounded a young woman, her dress a vibrant yellow as the skirt spun.  The sunshine bouncing off her hair as she danced with one of the children. The child laughed with her as she spun them around.

“Cosette!  You’re doing it wrong!”  The child dragged their feet on the ground.  

“How is this wrong?”  The woman laughed lightly as she hopped around.  

“It’s this way!” 

“Which way,” she asked, turning in the wrong direction.  She started singing along and the child started laughing again. Her voice couldn’t be said to be like that of a nightingale’s but had a different way of making you smile.  It was strong and her laughter broke through frequently.  

“No! That’s wrong!”

Giotto stepped away from G and stopped one of the other men.  “Excuse me, who is that?”  He nodded in her direction.

The man followed Giotto’s gaze and smiled upon seeing her.  “That’s Viscountess Cosette.  She comes down often.  Her parents would never visit, even for a festival.”

“Cosette,” Giotto repeated quietly.  

Cosette attempted to dance with one of the other children, despite the one already clinging to her leg.

He started towards her and she looked up, her eyes large as she stared.  The child didn’t notice and tugged at her hands, trying to pull her along.  

“May I have this dance?”  Giotto bowed and held out his hand.

Her eyebrows furrowed.  “Who are you? I haven’t seen you before.”

He stood, smiling sheepishly.  “My name’s Giotto.  But you didn’t answer my question.”  

“If you like,” she said cautiously.

It started off slow and Cosette seemed to be embarrassed over her stumbling feet.  But it wasn’t long before the true steps were forgotten and they were both laughing.

“Giotto!”  

The two stopped as G pushed his way through the crowd.  “G-“ Giotto began.

“How many times are you going to disappear like that?” G questioned.

“G, this is Viscountess Cosette,” Giotto said gesturing to her.  “Viscountess Cosette, this is G.”

G nodded as did Cosette.  

Giotto raised an eyebrow at G.  “I hope you don’t mind if we stay a little longer?”

There was a small huff from G.  “You always do what you want anyways.”

He turned back to Cosette, “I apologize for the interruption.  Is there any chance of this continuing?”

She always wanted to tell Gokudera about his mother but was never allowed.  

Lavinia actually ended up teaching Bianchi some piano too.  

Bianchi’s obsession with love came from seeing her father with Gokudera’s mother.  Her own mother mainly stayed with their dad to keep up appearances.

Bianchi never officially “left” the family, but left the castle soon after Gokudera ran off. She still keeps in contact with their father

I really like this ask, though separating all of them in one post is….a lot.  (Even trying to separate into multiple ones)  But I can still answer the second part.

I’d say the most underrated major character is probably Levi tbh.  I wanted to say Chrome, but she’s got a ton of fandom love and a lot of people backing her.  But, Levi, even though I’m not really a fan, is generally underrated.  I mean, he’s a Varia member and supposed to be on par with the others like Bel and Luss.  

I figure part of this comes from the fact that he’s very obviously admiring of Xanxus to the point where it kind of undermines his own skills.  But also that his ring battle is, for the most part, with a 5 year old.  It doesn’t give him a chance to fully show off what he can do.  In general though, I notice that a lot of Lightning characters get downplayed or almost derided. Which is a shame, because the Lightning flame itself is amazing and so are its users.  

As to the most overrated minor…that’s a hard one.  I’d probably say Alaude, as controversial as that is.  

I truly have nothing against his character, but in a sea of minor characters who are rarely overrated, Alaude stands out.  Particularly as I feel most of his attention comes from Hibari rather than anything he’s actually done.  We don’t really see a lot of him in KHR, which is unfortunate.  I feel like I have a better understanding of Knuckle than I do Alaude.  We know a lot of hearsay and a lot is told…but we don’t see much.  

First off, I’m so sorry this came out later than I intended.  I haven’t always been in the best place mentally recently.  Very much transitioning rn.  Secondly, thank you so much and this ask was a lot of fun~!

Ok, so I saw two different options right off the bat, depending on how you want to go.  

Gokudera

Honestly, he was the first one I thought of.  He doesn’t have an unloyal bone in his body and certainly not the type to lie unless it was necessary to survive.  The main problem I see with him is the fact that he...may not always be around to chill as much as you’d like and may not always want you getting involved in things.  

However, he’s someone you can engage with mentally, which is definitely a plus.

Haru

This is the one that I think is probably the best fit.  

Haru will absolutely love smart and funny you are and will always have your back!  And nights in snuggled on the couch binging shows (and likely getting very invested in there) is something she loves to do.  True crime and fantasy especially?  Hell yes.

She is also exceedingly loyal and honest.  And when she does feel the need to lie (let’s face it, we all do at some point), she’s really bad at it.  Not that she really feels the need to often.  

Hana is very good at keeping the guardians in line.  Kyoko may be the sweetheart of the family, but Hana is part of the driving force.

Hana never quite realizes that Lambo was her mystery man.  Any resemblance he has is just a coincidence in her mind.

Getting together with Ryohei was never supposed to happen.  In the past she was always annoyed with him yelling, but was surprised when she saw how mature he could be.  What really got her interested was seeing Ryohei when he was coming back from one of his “business meetings”.  

Hana is allergic to roses and a few other types of flowers.

She studied history in college and then went to law school to become a lawyer (which is very helpful to the Vongola).   She is very observant and can push any case as farther than most would go.

Ryohei didn’t want her to get involved in the Vongola.  He asked Tsuna to convince her not to.  Tsuna only pretended to, partly because he was scared and partly because he respects her too much.

Hana’s great debating skills come in handy  for the Vongola beyond the fact that she’s a lawyer.  In the more difficult meetings, Tsuna likes to have Hana there to help him.

She and Ryohei don’t argue too much, but she wins every time they do.

She loves cats. In fact, she had a pet cat in school.  

While she doesn’t get to do it often, Hana really enjoys hiking and the challenge it can present.

Day 13: Favorite Flame

30 Days of KHR

Lightning

It would be so easy for me to say Mist to this, especially since that’s my flame type, but I gotta say Lightning.  

Lightning is such a fun flame type.  It can be very destructive when used offensively but also provides an amazing defense.  Also, who hasn’t dreamt of smiting an enemy with a lightning bolt?  

It also combos really well with other flame types.  Best example is easily from when Verde and Mukuro pair up.  And it provides an interesting opportunity and development for those who have both types.  

I swear, someone’s going to kill me for this….

Gokudera’s obsession with the occult began because he was trying to contact his mother.  He didn’t want to talk with Bianchi about her and his father was out of the question.  So he took it upon himself to learn as much about Lavinia as possible and even tried to contact her.
