I've always hated the headcannons that Tome didn't love Ogata or that she would have ignored Ogata if he didn't look like Hanazawa, and now I have proof to back up why I hate them. I think the problem wasn't that she was completely neglectful of Ogata, but instead that she was so focused on his future and his success that she neglected who he was in the present.
(Moreover, the guilt he feels from killing her makes him not able to rationalize her fully– hence the lullaby "The way out is joyous, but the way home is frightful." But by commanding the seventh, he can not only get her attention/make her proud but prove that who he was presently was worthy of love.)
Yuusaku loved Ogata too, but when he projects this ideal future version of Ogata onto him, Ogata kills him.
All this calls into question his weird love of being demeaned and treated as less than as a means to prove his current self's worth, if that makes sense. Like he is this fuck up, low class, unloved child of a geisha and he wants to be loved as such almost?
Which is why his ending with Yuusaku hits as hard as it does because it affirms his innate self-worth, that he was inherently always worthy of love as he was. (That's why Asirpa awakened his guilt over killing Yuusaku because she also loved him for who he was. It's like he says, "Asirpa shone a light on me and now I can die.")
Appreciation post for Murata’s no chill drawing Garou’s BACK MUSCLES.
Murata’s words from his streams:
“I try to imagine the back of Garou is similar to Bruce Lee, full of muscles. Recently I fell in love with drawing backs, it’s fun, but I have to finish my work on time.
For the back muscle on Garou, I noticed I should try to refer to Bruce Lee’s back muscle; it is always good to have something as reference.”
Ever wondered how Tarn would like y/n? Would he like y/n at all?? More than he likes Megatron???
He probably wouldn't, realistically. BUT I have been summoned to give the people what they want. So, in this verse, Tarn survives Megatron's final attack and ISN'T reduced to scrap. Yippie!
Tarn would most likely find y/n some time after his final siege against the lost light. Be you bot or organic, you would find him debating his entire existence. I mean for Primus sake the man he viewed as literal god just tried to send him to the scrap heap just for doing what he was told. (At least, that's how Tarn probably sees it, still.)
Most of your initial interactions would have to consist of helping him... Find himself. Finding his music, maybe even introducing him to more. Showing him that he doesn't need such beefy transformation cogs in order to live/do his job anymore.
Ultimately, helping him unlearn everything he had during his time within the DJD.
Or, you could be the type that doesn't want him to change, in which case you need to help him find his fire again. Get him right back on the field, only now no longer as an official branch of the Decepticon army but as a vigilante/serial killer.
Whether you change him for the better, or the worse, rest assured that you're one of the safest bots in the galaxy. One of the many bots that, if given the proper reasoning, could take on strong combatants like Optimus, other high ranking members of the Autobot cause, hell he almost fucked around and took out Megatron (albeit a Megatron that was striving for diplomacy).
He'd be possessive, almost to an obsessive extent, but not too badly. Always tracking your location, ready to be summoned at your beck and call, either carrying you on his shoulder or piloting you around.
Even in his holoform, assuming you're a human, he would be with you. Looming above you, keeping any possible annoyances out of your way.
A real golden retriever, hidden behind MANY layers of gun metal and blood.
He's not the best in the way of comfort and compliments verbally (at least, not without sounding near-pretentious levels of poetic), but adores quality time, and will go to great lengths to get you gifts that you want.
Yes, even if he has to kill for them.
Finally, if you plan on writing a fic, try having y/n be able to sing! As I'm sure you know if you care about Tarn enough to genuinely read this far, he loves music. And I'm willing to bet he'd make a whole secondary calming playlist just to listen to y/n sing their heart out.
For any of these headcanons to work, Usopp Is Not in love with Kaya. Childhood friends. :D
Usopp never expects anyone to like him back, so it's always a very welcome surprise when figuring out that you like him too. Good luck getting him to ask you out first, he's incredibly shy.
Very insecure. He doesn't need his ego boosted 24/7, especially post-time skip, but he will definitely have days where he believes you could do better. Small reassurances go a long way with him.
He's a man of many skills, a jack of all trades. Though he's a master at none (as far as he'll tell you,) he loves spreading his "Divine knowledge." He has many tips on working out, gardening/plant care, sniping with all kinds of ranged weaponry, inventing, as well as tons of tricks to bluffing.
He's ecstatic to share these skills with you. He's not asking you to spend ALL of his time on it, no, but he definitely likes when you're interested.
He's very silly, in regards to the actual lovey stuff. His main goal is to make you smile, so no matter how intense and love-charged the moment becomes, he will find a way to crack some kind of joke.
He's not the greatest about serious conversation. He tends to steer away from topics that are too heavy, unless they NEED to be addressed.
Will absolutely build something for you if you ask. Even if you didn't ask, he will.
Really great with kids. Will rally a small gang of rapscallions to tackle you.
Finally, Usopp's love languages are very creative, relying on gifts and quality time. He's also no stranger to physical touch. He enjoys the little things about you, and will even go as corny as writing small poems about you in his spare time.
TLDR: Usopp wants to make every moment he has with you count, for as long as you still like him. He's many, many things, but one thing he refuses to be is a shitty boyfriend.
Special tag for @asherrosesmokey , you've been waiting literal years dawg I apologize lmaooo
This man is dedicated. Dedicated to training, dedicated to swordsmanship, dedicated to his captain. You must be real special to get on his radar outside of those three things.
He wouldn't ask you out, but there would be signs. An offering of food/sake (if he offers you sake that's an EXTREMELY good sign, like, he's basically kissing you good), actually waking up from his nap when he knows you're near, listening when you speak. Especially if he's willing to stop training, if temporary, just to listen to you.
Once you ask him out, and he accepts, surprisingly, not much would change. But, again, there would be signs. He would allow you to tend to his wounds (whenever chopper can't), sleep with you, stay by your side, everything.
God help anyone that so much as raises a hand to you, or raises their voice an octave. They'll be hit with a conqueror's haki level stare at best, diced up at the worst.
He's a real strong and silent type. He isn't much for words of affirmation, not much for compliments and all of that.
The trade-off? Lots of physical affection, as well as the security. Your boyfriend/husband is Literally PIRATE HUNTER ZORO. The strongest swordsman, one that very few could even hope to beat in a duel. You've nothing to be afraid of ever again.
Just communicate with him. Treat him right, and he'll do everything in his power to treat you even better.
Also, if he thinks you're pretty, you can fluster him with literally anything. Legit. You could wink at him and his face would flush red very briefly, even if he doesn't say it/admit to it. He's a very "my face details my emotions" kind of man.
