This scene from AVPM just hit me as Stobotnik lmao so stupid.
Reigens bad taste in men
Nensai headcanon, when they start dating nearly nothing changes. Nendo still calls saiki buddy, they still hang out the same way they always did, infact most people couldn't even guess they were dating until nendo like happens to mention it casually mid conversation. The only thing that changes is that they like, kiss each other goodbye and maybe a few other little things yk?
"Kiss the same gender, kick the fascists"
Seen in Turkey
Coming together as a team🤝✨🧼

id like to imagine saikis friends hate kusuke. like, absolutely despise him. they just get this...vibe, yknow? one that makes them tense up everything he opens his mouth, one that makes them want to pummel him into the ground the moment they see him next to saiki.
You get me. I think the moment all his friends find out that Saiki has a brother, they sorta expect this equally quiet kid that can be just as fun.
They meet Kuusuke and it's MEGA red flags. Like Nendou and Kaido do not like him since London, and Teruhashi has a HATRED for Kuusuke.
I get giddy thinking about it. Cause now it's jsut a matter of everyone seeing how *weird* Kusuke is with Kusuo and fighting tooth and nail to make a barrier.
They gotta choose the most levelheaded of them to be the buffer, so clearly they have Hairo up there.
"Look at the monkey's you gathered!"
"Stop being Mean to them."
It's just the Staunch Buffer that Saiki now is like, he pulls his friends away instead of them protecting him cause Kuusuke is weird and he doesnt want him to infect them.
Like *argh* I live for his friends trying to get him away, and Saiki fighting for their honor when Kuusuke is being mean.
I think it's the same with Makato and Teruhashi btw. Teruhashi gets the same treatment and is WAY more willing to beat up her brother if it means her friends stay with her.
I have thoughts about themmmmm
He knows...
okay some people genuinely really need to accept that the ONLY "queer coding" in saiki k is when they make gay jokes. there is NO other intentional queer coding, and i think people dont understand that claiming rep where it isnt there is much much more harmful than you think it is... just headcanon! its fun! you guys act like youre going to fucking die if you ship/hc something not canon, so you convince everyone that everything you say is canon ☠️ its literally insane
theres a HUGE difference between a headcanon or ship having what YOU see as canon backing, and a hc or ship that is actually implied or canon...
the only ship that you could argue is implied in saiki k is terusai, thats literally it, you could potentially make an argument that yumekai could be reciprocated towards the end, satoumiya, or MAYBE mikosai, but im pretty sure thats it...
nonbinary saiki is one of my personal favorite headcanons (one of the only ones i pretty much ALWAYS have in mind when talking or writing about him, it's practically a given) and i think it has pretty good canon backing, but its not ACTUALLY implied.
hes FAIRLY certain that his biological sex is male, and all evidence points to that, but he doesnt know and specifically says that he doesnt know what his true gender is... he clearly has absolutely zero discomfort with masculinity OR femininity, doesnt know or care about his gender, and is comfortable with either sex... he seems very happy to just be either...
seems like pretty solid evidence, but you also have to realize that there is literally zero chance that the author intended for saiki to be read as nonbinary, or trans in any way, this was literally just an excuse for plot and to have a reason to take advantage of his shapeshifting to do crossdressing/genderbend chapters ☠️ i love to see it as him being nonbinary and i think it has a lot of backing, but its not canon or even "implied" at all.
theres a lot of other examples of this kind of thing in this fandom, like theres a lot of people who claim that kubokai are queer coded (its usually just a joke when people say things like "hehe my ship is so canon" but im talking about like... people who see yumekai and go "um 🤨 this is LITERALLY homophobic because erm um kubokai are basically canon and queer coded and you shipping one of them with a WOMAN is HOMOPHOBIC" lmfao) and i am actually just not even sure where this comes from because they dont have anything that can even be twisted into romantic subtext, theyre just a popular ship because they have a good friendship. which is great! but theyre like the LAST thing i wouldve expected people to claim as implied or canon. they are absolutely not. the only thing i can even think of that might make people think that is saiki saying they look gay in that one chapter ☠️
