One of the funniest things I've done in headcanons with my wife is what I've unironically done to this man:
Tomo
Aka: Kazuha's friend.
In canon, Kazuha discusses his bestie with a certain level of respect and reverence. He looked up to him, he loved him to a degree (and that degree, for me personally, is romantically - that's important) and found an idol and role model in Tomo.
When Kazu discusses Tomo, it's with a fond smile and a glimmer of hope and tranquility in his eyes. Just like a crush. Just like a dumb... hopeless... silly crush.
...
😈
Crushes are funny little things, aren't they? They make you see all the best qualities in a person while absolutely ignoring the bad. You can sigh and swoon over a crush and never hold them accountable for anything, because they're just so darn cute! ❤️
So, if you take that into account, and think about how Tomo was really just a dude with a sword wandering around, there's an interesting layer here to explore.
So, in my headcanons, I made him... a dumbass.
Think about it. He's this shaggy dude, going around unkempt, with hair like a broom from a Studio Ghibli film, robe undone, standing relaxed as he looks over sunsets and travels around with some young guy he just met... He knows the blade, sure, but that doesn't mean he knows everything. In fact, as much as it was to stand up for what he believed in, it's equally stupid AF to go face the Raiden Shogun and get fucked up by her titty sword. Literally EVERYONE could say that that wasn't a smart idea: He could've allocated his remaining life to standing up against her in a MYRIAD of other ways! And all while leaving behind his traveling companion who OBVIOUSLY loved him, yet he most-likely had no idea? I just—
I think he's a dumbass. 😂 A kind, strong, sweet dumbass, BUT STILL A DUMBASS.
His dream was to see and feel the blade of the Archon, and yet WHAT SMART PERSON WOULD HAVE THAT DREAM??? I GET IT, IT'S POETIC, BUT WHAT??
Sir.
"Are you nuts, or just stupid?" Comes to mind, and "nuts" isn't on the table because Thoma wouldn't have befriended a crazy guy, and I don't think Kazuha would've either, or else his own special kind of crazy would've been vastly overshadowed. (No Kazu hate! I absolutely ADORE him! But he's insane. Who the fuck let's a demon blade inhabit their mind willingly? Mental. He's truly bonkers.) So, "stupid" it was.
With all of this said, it's a consistently incredibly funny idea making Tomo a himbo. Like, would play Beatles with Itto and celebrate the win/get mopey over losses. The type of himbo that only MINORLY outsmarts Terra from Kingdom Hearts (who - if you don't know who that is - got swindled by every single villain ever to the point he turned into the main villain of the 2nd game. He's so beautiful and so... so very dim.) and that's saying something. Like... at least the guy has relative street smarts(?) Won't be swindled or pickpocketed on the streets of Inazuma, but is otherwise hopeless.
And this extends into the hilarity of ideas of him coming back from the dead somewhat. Like, if he ever returned, his entire image that Kazuha has so wistfully painted will be absolutely smeared. Like, imagine the Traveler expecting to meet THE COOLEST MAN and then meeting a dumbass with a single braincell? Maybe two. Maybe they even knock together sometimes and make sparks. Maybe. And Kazuha is like, "isn't he amazing?" And the Traveler is like "???"
I’m tired of people acting like Zhongli is a serious and chill guy who would never cause problems on purpose as if he isn’t one of the biggest menaces out of the Seven. He used to throw mountains at Venti for annoying him. He, the god of history, starts fights among historians for shits and giggles. He tried to gaslight the Traveler into thinking he was totally not at the Chasm guys really Aether/Lumine you must be seeing things maybe you should go see Baizhu. When Qiqi wanted “Cocogoat” milk he was like “Oh yeah sure totally let’s go look for it” knowing damn well it was a wild goose chase. He made the Traveler sing to a flower and then was like “Oh would you look at that” when a Whooperflower jumped out to maul them. I love him. He’s like a cat pushing things off the counter to see how people react. I would pay to see him interact directly with Neuvillette because I know for a fact he’d get on that man’s nerves and argue about water tasting just to feel something. Furina used freedom from godhood to take a nap and Zhongli used it to give psychic damage to anyone who talks to him longer than 5 minutes. Iconic.
Keke Palmer's boyfriend and the father of her baby publicly shamed her for her outfit and it's the audacity of someone we only know as "Keke Palmer's boyfriend" to target his hardworking significant other, the mother to his baby like this
so i rewatched nimona today and it was great but ive been puzzling over why on earth the director decided, when she thought ambrosius was confronting her with zero evidence beyond his faith in ballister, to pull out the actual proof of ballisters sword and kill him with it.
it seemed like the most incriminating possible choice!
and then i realized she did it with ballister's sword because she was going to frame him for ambrosius's death, too.
What's more gay and patriotic then watching the trans shapeshifter and her adopted father trying to get back with his ex(?) boyfriend while overthrowing the government on 4th of July while your family is blowing up fireworks?
that scene where Ambrosius is ranting and going mad and then it turns out it was just his inner dialog and he sighs and acts like nothing's wrong is so personal
Considering Nimona as a character is by and large an allegory for the queer community, it is a great representation of why you can't logically argue with conservatives. They don't care that cis kids suffer from puberty blockers being outlawed. They don't care that cishet men and women are harrased for looking or acting too gay/trans. They don't care. As long as it hurts us, they will do it anyway.
