I needed this headcanon on a miserable Monday morning. Here, have your soul back. Your headcanons are now canon to me.
might be going crazy or something...
Warriors is sometimes depicted as a cocky flirt, which, as an aromantic person, I'm guilty of jokingly flirting with strangers on the internet, but ANYWAYS... I genuinely don't think he's like... a romantical if you catch my jist. Yes, he flirts, but as a way of empty flattery, and he doesn't seem to want anything to come out of it whatsoever.
In one of jojo's early sketches of the chain, he refers to marriage as "shackles" when Time shows off his wedding ring. In another sketch, he actively hides from a woman in a tavern. So what I'm getting at here is underneath all of that confident, flirtatious energy... he's scared. He doesn't want a relationship. He doesn't dream of settling down, like a lot of the chain, but he has different reasons for thinking that way.
Cia.
Warriors literally had a stalker. Straight up. She waged war to get in his pants. That's... eugh. She locked him in a room full of pictures that she took of him. Statues of him, everywhere. Just imagine the stress. He was like what? Seventeen? He was ALREADY a child soldier with hundreds of people counting on him. No wonder he refers to marriage as "shackles". Also, the guilt? A lot of victims blame themselves, I don't doubt Warriors was one of them, especially because she started a war over it that killed hundreds of soldiers. He would feel like that's his fault. You can see from how he treats the chain that he really does care about people. He's not just "haha cocky flirt boy". He probably had so many sleepless nights just blaming himself for the deaths of his soldiers.
WOULD ANYBODY WANT A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP AFTER EXPERIENCING THAT!?!?!
I'm aro, but I'm gonna go ahead and say no.
not me getting overly emotional over a fictional character. Cough.
