Welcome to the Shuniverse

So, I joined Tumblr on a whim yesterday and I already have 8 notes on the Finn's headcanons Q&A which is wild! I guess this is sort of an alternative to my Headcanons series on Ao3 where you can ask me anything, but additionally I figured why not ask Shu the character things?

Roleplaying as him is fun and I'll try answering your questions in a timely manner; just nothing inappropriate because I want to stay on Tumblr longer than a few days. XD Also be sure to distinguish whether you're asking me or Shu the character.

Be sure to check out my Ao3 page under ShuTodoroki as well! That's where all of my fanfiction is! And if y'all want, maybe I could throw in an ask Conan thing too. Hope you all have a great day!

Hi Shu!

How are you? I heard that you were log out of your Ao3 account due to some... problems you had. But I want to know that I love your fanfictions!! I love to read about the Cars and Planes fanfic and I couldn't help but feel awe when I read them. By the way, are you making more fanfics of Cars and Planes? No offense though, but when are you making a sequel of "Stuck in Radiator Springs" and "The Real Ripslinger"? I thought if you make the sequel of this fanfics where Lightning, Jackson and Cruz join the World Grand Prix and meet the WGP racers and Finn and Holley, and Ripslinger probably have a rival soon to compete.

P.S. Don't want to be rude, but I love if you made the sequel of this fanfics!!

Hi shiny-lycanroc-dusk! I'm doing well. Yes, there was a troll who was targeting me and my friends on Ao3, but I'm thankful that they have seemed to stop for now. I'm glad you enjoy my Cars and Planes fanfiction! As for if I'll be writing more fanfics or sequels, unfortunately I'll have to answer not anytime soon. Not because of the troll, of course, but because things in my real life are very busy at the moment, and I don't have time to write fanfiction. I'll probably be on a hiatus until things become less busy and I have less on my plate.

If there will be a wedding, will it be a Western type of wedding or the traditional Japanese Shinto wedding or both? Any particular people that you'd want to invite, Miguel and Shu?

Shu: I haven't planned that far! Honestly, I like the idea of both; perhaps we will blend the two cultures. As for the people we'd invite, for sure both of our families, and all of our friends such as the rest of the World Grand Prix racers.

[ask-shu-todoroki]

One question only for Miguel Camino... AND only for Miguel... Are you planning on proposing to Shu? Cause I think it would be cute! 💕

Si, however it is difficult to propose right now since we are long distance and busy with our own racing careers! Nothing would make me happier than to be married, but I also want us to be able to live together. I plan to make it official when we are retired.

Hello!

I was wondering if I could ask for some relationship headcanons for Rod and Nigel please? They can be either sfw or nsfw or both!

Sure! I haven't thought about them in a hot minute because my life has been hectic the past few weeks, but I'll try my best.

Rod gets teased to this day by his C.H.R.O.M.E. friends about how he managed to outdo Finn and Leland in breaking fraternization protocol. 😛

His boss at the CIA turns a blind eye since his relationship isn't affecting his performance, and he's the best spy they have anyway.

It's a long distance relationship, but Rod always manages to visit Nigel in Royal Leamington Spa when he has the time. Or he can always snag security duty at the WGP reunion events. 😉

They're aiming to retire at the same time so they can live together. Where they're going to live, however, they're still debating about.

Rod's dominant in the relationship, that goes without saying. 😏

Their favorite romantic thing to do is to go out on a hill overlooking Royal Leamington Spa and cuddling.

Whenever Nigel is able to visit Rod in Gibraltar, Michigan, Rod takes him out for a boat ride on Lake Erie.

Hey Shu! I just wanna ask. What if Miguel had an enemy that you never knew of...? What if he never told you until the enemy came and tried to kill you both? Would you be pissed off? Or angry?

That's an interesting question... 🤔

Well, I know this is a what if question, but I'll reiterate that Miguel would never hide something from me, as we're both very open with each other. However, I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, so if that was to happen, I'd assume that he had good intentions and was trying to protect me.

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Hey Shu! Sorry to bother but, who's dominant in your relationship?

That's quite a personal question, Anon! 😅 However, I don't think Miguel would mind if I say this. He's for sure the one who's dominant in the relationship, but I have my turn every once in a while. I'm just naturally more of a shy person, so it makes sense that he's the one who initiates a lot of things.

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Do you prefer hot or cold weather? (And this goes for Shu and Miguel both!)

Shu: I prefer cold weather! I'm honestly used to it, as my hometown of Karuizawa is fairly far north in Japan. Also being at the foot of Mount Asama, it's at high elevation which means snow falls almost every year. It's also the time Miguel comes to visit me and we have an excuse to stay inside and warm up. 😉

Miguel: I'm the opposite! Hot weather is better for me, as I don't have good cold tolerance. Probably because Pamplona is generally hotter. Besides, nothing sounds better to me than basking in the sun next to a pool to cool off!

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Hey Shu! How have you been! One question, How are you and Miguel after the crash in Porta Corsa in Italy? Sorry if this is a sensitive topic for you, I don't mean to... Plus who is Miguel's enemy? Idk why I ask this... Plus have a good day!

Konnichiwa! Miguel and I are fine after the crash; to me, it was such a long time ago that I don't really think about it anymore. In retrospect, I was able to spend a lot of time with Miguel in the hospital after the crash, and that just brought us closer together.

As for Miguel's enemy? I may be biased, but I think he's too charismatic to have any! 😅 Maybe Raoul as a friendly rival; both of them like to show off, and they're always trying to outdo each other. Probably because they both worked as entertainers before racing.

Hi Shu!

Have you ever brought Miguel to a matsuri? Any favorite foods or activities that both of you enjoy? Don't forget the yukatas and the love confession under the fireworks.

Hai, I have brought Miguel to a few matsuri! My favorite one is when he is able to come over to Japan when the cherry blossoms bloom, and we can practice hanami. I haven't been able to get him into a yukata yet, though!

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Hey Shu! I just wanna ask and sorry this is a bit off track but, which boy confessed first. Shu? or Miguel? And I kinda Ship Max Schnell x Nigel Gearsly.

And the next question. Did the WGP know that Shu liked Miguel?

Miguel confessed first! I was hanging out at his house in Pamplona, Spain, and he admitted that he loved me when I was too shy to admit the same thing. I don't think the WGP knew; it's sheer fate that we ended up together, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Hi Shu!

Have you ever gone to the beach with your friends, if so, do ever teach them the game watermelon-splitting?

Konnichiwa! Hai, we do sometimes go to the beach, however Miguel would be the one to teach seed spitting more than me. He's a troublemaker!

[ask-shu-todoroki]

Forgive me father for I have sinned

What did you do exactly o_O

Hello! I just wanted to say I've been reading your fics on ao3 and I think they're amazing! Your fics surrounding rip and dusty are so cool, they bring so much life to the characters! It's been the main reason why I ship those two so much now haha

I think it's great that there's also so many fics with rarepairs in, honestly I had no idea there could be cute little ship stories for raoul/max or jeff/Lewis but there is! I definitely have many favourite rarepairs because of those fics, great job! (Ik the pwp series is also has storm, pen and ivory as collaborators so many thanks to them as well!)

Thank you so much Anon! It really makes me feel good when people tell me that they like my work. I'm glad you like Rip/Dusty as a ship, the main fic around that ("The Real Ripslinger") I still consider my magnum opus to this day.

And yes, rare pairings are also great! I love all of the WGP racers so much and I'm happy that someone else sees how cute Jeff/Lewis and Raoul/Max are as ships. :D

[penname-artist]

You know Shu, it should become a goal now to get as many co-authors into that PWP series as possible lol, it's the fandom potluck of WoC smutfics at this point xD

[ask-shu-todoroki]

It should be a goal of the fandom! I’m down for collaborating on WoC smutfics to raise that co-author count XD

Do you spar with Long Ge sometimes to keep your Carate? It does help that he knows Car Fu speciality Car Li Fo. Bare tires or weapons?

I do! I'm good friends with him, and although Carate and Car Fu are different styles of martial arts, it helps to know how to defend yourself against different styles. We stay sharp with friendly sparring and use bare tires.

[ask-shu-todoroki]

If it’s canon that Miguel Camino can sing, what about the song “Hips don’t lie” by Shakira and Carla Veloso also joins in?

Well it's not canon that he can sing, it's my headcanon, but he'd definitely sing that song with Carla!
