Its Been MONTHS Since I Wrote Guriten. I Need To Write Something About Them Or I Will Collapse 👹 Send

SO REAL ABT KENZO’S ANGER REGULATION

He tries to be okay the whole time, to not show any bad emotion, that at some point he would just explode like an express pot. And we saw him trying to be kind but loosing his temper and getting quite agressive and even physical towards people. It’s such an interesting and human trait of his character.

getting back at you with 2, 5, 12 and 24 for Ochanomizu and (Kenzo) Tenma!

Omg that's cute the other half of the ships....

Character asks

Ochanomizu

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Dude he's such a good dad. Whether it's PLUTO's hug or how sweet and supportive and protective he is in the 03 anime or the lengths he goes to in the manga supporting Atom he's just such a good parent!!! He's a sweetheart but he doesn't take shit lying down, he has such strong will and will fight for his kids.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

So this is technically from Tenma's POV about Ochan but it's one that I do think of with respect to him a lot. Just on account that his smile is so powerful and yeah I too would yearn for that smile

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I feel like he would be quick to forgive Tenma if he would only apologise. In my mind, despite how volatile things are with them, Ochan genuinely would be willing to start fresh if Tenma just asked. Hey babe I'm sorry will you take me back. like it would genuinely be that easy. He's making Tenma figure that out for himself though, otherwise it's not genuine.

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Y'know I would say Kenzo in a lot of respects. They're both forces for such good, genius doctors in their own field, supportive adults (in my mind in a Tenma Swap AU Atom would end up with 2 of the best dads in the world LMAO)

In the interest of talking about some different guys: Picard from Star Trek the Next Generation! Is it partly because they are old men in their hair loss era? Maybe. But also again they are such egalitarian future-focused peaceful guys. Also Picard argued for robot rights in one of the best episodes of Star Trek period ("The Measure of a Man") so like they're the same guy basically is what I'm saying

Kenzo Tenma

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

His ability to inspire good and see the best in people. Honestly going into Monster I thought it would be more #edgy and dark, but because we have this sweetheart doctor protagonist it's instead easily one of the most hopeful stories I've ever enjoyed, truly teaching the sanctity and beauty of all life. Tenma is such a beacon of hope and he's able to spread that wherever he goes.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Ah man, this was hard. A lot of the songs I associate with him are specifically Guriten-flavoured...but then I remembered this song. It's one that makes me think of Tenma's earliest struggle with figuring out who he wanted to be, and coming to terms that the hospital he worked at was just using him. It's unsure, it's hurt, but it ends with a hopeful step forward.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

He has very poor anger regulation sometimes. We only see it very briefly, but Tenma is deeply repressing negativity and when it does come out it's a little explosive. I especially feel like he has this sense he has to be "perfectly happy" all the time as a foreigner and is afraid to "look bad" as it would reflect worse on him, but as a result he has these meltdowns sometimes. It comes out more potently when he drinks, so he generally tries to avoid alcohol when around others.

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Obligatory Ochan mention. But okay this is a bit of a weird one...Kaiji kind of?? Now Kaiji is a very different character, very scrappy very stupid very shithead. But it's the way that he has the ability to command such a powerful response from strangers and holds onto hope so strongly and cries and is so earnest...they are characters cut of a similar cloth despite how different they come off at first. Kaiji is just Tenma during his drunk era

I wanna top him so bad

🤍🤍🤍

ok i may as well turn anon off for this bc im the most verbal proponent of it in this teeny tiny fandom but ummm guriten with transfem tenma please 👍they are so dear to me and i want their huge blonde boyfriend to tell them how pretty they are. but no rush if you're sick ofc 😭i hope u feel better soon, you're one of my favorite monster fanartists

aw thank you so much!! I remember reading one of your headcanons for this while browsing the monster tags so I'm happy to provide a little sketch request, it's so sweet~

I definitely see transfem tenma as a different character than my fem tenma so I tried to draw them distinct from each other, I hope you like it <3

(Also bc I see them as different characters I'm still not going to draw my personal yuri grimmer/tenma with their canon counterparts, but transfem like this? yesss I'm happy to!)

also thank you for your concern!! luckily I wasn't sick. I just was drinking a little bit the night before and it messed up my sleep so bad... but feeling better today!

Tenma during Munich arc, watching the news and finding out about Princess Diana’s accident.

(Munich arc is during September 1997, Princess Diana passed away in August 31.)

I just know he was a huge fan of Princess Diana. (Just like me)
