I just want to say that I love your Shiro content and I'm happy that someone loves Shiro as much as I do. Also, I was wondering, what are your headcanons for pre kerberos shiro if you have any
OH BOY LISTEN you cannot give me an opening like this LISTEN pre-Kerberos Shiro? i have his whole story:
my headcanon for Shiro is that he’s an orphan. for lots of reasons, but primarily because he never talks about having a family on earth he wants to go back to, and that makes me think he’s an orphan and we just… haven’t heard that part of his story yet
his mother died when he was very young
Papa Shirogane was an officer at the Galaxy Garrison. he died on a failed mission when Shiro was about 11-12
Shiro got semi-officially ‘adopted’ by GG. he moved into the Garrison and lived in the dorms
all the instructors loved him cos they were close to his dad and became like his weird extended family of random aunts and uncles
even Iverson eventually warmed up to him
imagine beanpole 15-year-old Shiro with terrible hair, running through the halls of the Garrison, attending all the classes cos he was friends with all the teachers
somehow graduated top of the class despite being a walking disaster
“Shiro” was his dad’s nickname before it was his. they started calling him that once he made officer
when he got selected for the Kerberos mission all the Garrison instructors threw a party for him
that’s it that’s his life story
and that’s why he’s such good friends with Keith - they’re both orphans, so Shiro understood what it was like to be alone, and that’s why he never gave up on Keith and took him under his wing
in terms of baby-Shiro’s personality, lemme tell you this:
he was an absolute little shit
no one comes up with the motto “patience yields focus” unless they are severely lacking in both (a) patience and (b) focus
Keith: “why do you keep muttering that under your breath?”
Shiro: “because it’s illegal to stab people in the face and they don’t have Naruto manga in jail”
pranks. pranks for days. elaborate, well-thought-out pranks
lived off pot noodles and energy drinks for weeks at a time
Takashi “sleep is for the weak” Shirogane
also: Takashi “i can’t remember what day of the week it is i’ve got 3 papers due and i’m pretty sure i had shoes on an hour ago but if you wanna fucking GO let’s fucking GO meet me at 3.42am in the Blockbuster parking lot” Shirogane
Shiro has punched so. many. people.
once jumped off a roof on a dare
