NatsuShin is really funny to me because Heisuke hasn’t really seen Natsuki after he initially tried to kill him during Lab Arc so if he were to just abruptly stumble upon Shin and Natsuki making out, it would probably go something like this:

fair trade

-

more windbreaker comics

absolutely obsessed with the fact that tsukki works in a museum + is still in university post timeskip because it highly indicates that he absolutely will end up living a double life. personally I am of the persuasian that tsukki goes on to get a masters / eventual doctorate in history (and/or an adjacent field, like archeology, paleontology, anthropology, you get the vibes)

but like I imagine the fucking Sendai Frogs (or any of his volleyball friends) dont exactly enjoy chatting about 9th century kings or 12th century architecture so it just never comes up. except for when tsukki tells them he's going to be missing practice because he's flying to China to a few small villages with local churches and temples to study old medical records and put together a timeline of the opiod wars in less documented places and the rest of the Frogs are just like !!!!!!!!!!! you're doing what now????? and he's just like yeah its a government grant :/ but it'll be nice to get published in this journal and then all of his teammates go home and google him and find the half dozen articles he's published that high school students are citing in their research papers

but then when he's working in the archives and reading through old newspapers a coworker of his comes down and is like "hey kei would you be able to fill in for a docent that called in sick tomorrow? we just need someone to lead a few tours" and tsukki is like "sorry, I booked that time off. the d2 volleyball league starts tomorrow." and the coworker is just like. what?

me when I tried to do a gijinka of this pretty specific scene, a bit terrifying

Coste Family lore my beloved (always hinted but never explicitly said😔)

(At this point ill just make canon in my head cus im so curious like Robert Coste tell to me what happened that night in 19__)

i miss them

Still defending my delusions about Togame being Vashwood's lovechild

Every time I see Shin in his baggy sleeveless top and jacket combo, I feel like a victorian man seeing a woman's ankle for the first time whenever his shoulders are exposed.
