I based him off of hermes bc he has the most similarities with kaito (being the god of thieves that is-) the hat was a nightmare to figure out and make it look good on him
loosely wanted to do magician kaito with a very vintage-esque feel, but somehow it became kaito under cover haha; the vibes kept evolved from vintage to pop with the colors, as I kept drawing, but hey, it was fun!
hi everyone this is a crosspost of a thread i made on twitter
i wanted to reformat and repost the thread here for archiving reasons. perhaps now that i have it posted here i can even add onto stuff as i go along, YIPPIE
anyway without further ado here is the thread
i preface this by saying that i love the different dynamics u can play around with in boifang. due to bbb's split powers, its sort of inevitable that they all bring a different side of fang, which i've taken to liking to. i've mentioned it previously in a different thread that there is also beauty that lies within boifang, when fang takes it upon himself to get to know and love all the different boboiboys, in all his facets.
can't say everyone might share my hcs BUT i wanna have fun sharing my ideas nontheless, SO HERE WE GO!
FIRST UP IS GEMPA
i think he is a shy and sensual flirt. he's the most down to earth (heh) element out of the 7 so i think he would show his affections earnestly. As he is the most caring and nurturing out of the elementals, i see him as an acts of service kind of guy. he insists on doing things for fang, simple stuff like fetching/preparing things for him, ect. He likes to pamper Fang a lot and that puts a smile on his face.
back to it, tho i think Fang can catch him off guard at times with sweet words and physical affections. i don't think gempa is the type to ask for it outright necessarily but Fang can tell that he'd like it so he picks up the habit of giving gentle and soft touches when he can.
Taufan next?
Upan is a hugeee tease to Fang I bet. As he is the wind element, carefree and easygoing, he expresses his adoration just as freely. He is very upfront with his feelings for Fang almost to an annoying degree. likes to see him all flustered. tldr upan suka menyakat fang lol
he knows how to get under fang's skin and uses it to his advantage at times. However when he's not being a total menace, he tends to take upon the reassuring role and tries to ease Fang's nerves when necessary. Where did i get this idea you might ask? during the windara arc w/ the trouble trio, fang scolds bbb over pushing himself too hard and yet angin was quick to hold a hand out to his chest (wow ok) and insists fang to relax. its a facade people, he knows he is a bundle of nerves underneath it. but he doesn't let it show when he knows theres stakes at play. also idk i think its sweet that upan can be caring in that way.
moving on to Halilintar !
That boy. is the biggest fake nonchalant idgafer i have ever seen in my entire life. if you've ever spoken to me like ONCE you'd know that bbbgs1ep14 is my ALL TIME FAVE EP specifically for the hali debut. (therefore i draw a lot of his characterisations a lot from this episode)
i think fans love hali esp how he acts all cool and uncaring, and yet he's the embodiment of dlm hati ada taman kind of guy, bc if it WAS true he was aloof and uncaring, do you think he would manifest after fang got hurt in that episode ???? thats what i thought.
however. as far as flirting goes i think he Does NOT initiate at all. and yet he is yearner 3000. gives the saddest puppy dog eyes at fang when no one is looking (hell, while not even fang is looking,) in hopes for that affection. In contrast i think fang gets a kick out of hali's, well, neediness. fang is holding himself back from pinching his cute cheek but oh my god why would he do that, it would shatter hali's facade !!! we cant have that can we?? tho i think it'd be funny for fang to surprise hali with a flirt or a kiss and sparks came out of hali. idk. so flustered bro acts like he's metal in a microwave. anyway im normal abt fanghali. obviously
next is temper duo/twins. i think they're neat.
i think of ais similarly to how i see hali behave with fang tbh. he seems cold and distant on the surface but internally, feels very strong fondness over fang. wouldn't outright show affections in a flashy sort of way but does it in ways fang would surely notice. its a very subtle sort of love, and i think of him as very attentive to fang, which he appreciates. hes less "nonchalant" than hali, so he would show fang a warm smile every now and again. which melts fang. ironically hehe. due to his cool and calm demeanor i think it would be sweet to see fang being the one flustered over ais's display of affections, EVEN if it's very subtle ones. fang is just so enamored, like the elemental who's outwardly stone cold is the one who lets him in, breaks down his icy exterior in order to love him wholly. and wow idt fang ever rides down the high of getting AIS to like him.
Initially when they first started dating, i dont see ais as the one to initiate physical contact, yet he won't necessarily move away when fang approaches him. however as time moves on, he does start to warm up, so to speak, and be the one to initiate. it comes very sparsely at first, but as time goes on i definitely see ais giving soft light touches to fang, like a caress on the cheek, a boop on his nose, or maybe rubbing his thumb on the back of fangs hand ect. i think its super sweet and endearing. he usually has a bored expression on him (not the same type of hali's nonchalant aurafarming one tho, ais strikes me as someone generally lax) but hes often seen with a smile plastered on his face whenever he's around fang.
blaze. sayangku blaze yg comel tapi nakal . i love him lots. we should discuss more abt how he is adhd coded middle child syndrome with inferiority issues more. i digress
he has a (fittingly) fiery spirit. full of passion and intensity. the playful and innocent kind. the type of love that makes you feel warm and full inside your chest. the type that makes fangs feel lucky a hundred times over to be able to love THIS side of boboiboy. i think fang admires blaze a lot, in how direct and expressive he is with his emotions. he is far from shy when it comes to declaring how much he loves fangs. would shout it at the rooftops at dawn! (too bad tok aba scolds him lmfao). He has the energy that makes fang feel Lively. fang looks into blazes eyes and finds the light from the sun reflecting back at him. so warm and comforting. if he hugged him he fears he would never let go. back to it!! blaze is EASILY flustered over fang's display of affections. he gets so flushed hes hot to the touch. fang finds it amusing. makes him want to do it more.
Last but not least, Sunflower duo !!
anywhoooo. duri.
im gonna go against the grain a lil bit here in how i choose to characterise duri compared to how the fandom generally interprets him. I THINK. hes a mischievous flirt. hear me out on this. i love that he is depicted as the younger sibling of the elementals. HOWEVER, due to this position he takes within the elemental dynamics, many falls for his naive characterisation and believes that his outward childishness indicates that he is therefore ""innocent"".
but i disagree on this part. i don't think that naive = innocent. not necessarily. if we look at the sori arc, he's actually pretty smart and capable. He can be seen saving ying and also helping out solar in opening that door. so i dont think its that far fetched to believe that he's not as clueless as he outwardly shows. for this reason i think he's the type to throw flirts at fang, but the kind that has enough plausible deniability that makes fang pause and go "wait. did he actually say that?" when fang points it out or asks him to clarify, duri would be quick to play dumb or change the topic. he notices fang's expressions twisting at his words and it makes him giggle. and weirdly enough ??? i think, out of all the elementals, duri is the one that's almost on equal footing in levels of capability to fluster fang. its a 50/50 on who blushes first between the two.
ANYWAY. LAST BUT (certainly my least favourite) we have solar.
okay. okay listen guys. i cant in good faith lie to you all even by omission that i like solar. he is actually my least favourite out of all the elementals. IM SORRY SOLFNG ENJOYERS I FEEL LIKE I HAVE FAILED YOU... HOWEVER, i try my best not to let my dislike of him bleed into the characterisation and dynamic of fangsolar.
anywya. how does he hold up to fangs flirts. i think. he's a total tsun. has this stuck up and prissy energy that makes you feel like kicking him in the butt... not to worry tho fang still finds it endearing (somehow)
in all honesty, i think his tsundere tendencies rly does show from time to time. i think fang would tease him a lot and solar would pretend that it didn't effect him. He would scoff at him and say "did you really think that would get me?" fang would roll his eyes and walk away, but as soon as he is out of sight solar would internally gay panic like onfg hes so useless.
he does get flustered, but is also rly good at hiding it i think. he wont flirt with fang that much either, but he still expects fang to give him attention anyway. he's a wee bit aggravating at times but makes up for it by being so insanely cute when he does Let the facade crumble. at times, he would even be a stuttering mess when fang surprises him with affections. and once again. fang loves every bit of it.
anyway thats my thread !! you should pick up by now that while i love all flavours of boifang, i also take a considerable amount of care in characterising them ""accurately" or at the very least, give my own reasonings and interpretations on what the canon text gives me. its fun everyone should try it.
like i said i fully enjoy in the different angles (fang) can appreciate the different elementals, yet also know that each of them is also a piece of the boy he is deeply in love with. idk just sum thoughts.
YEP THATS IT !! Thanks for reading!! lmk your thoughts below on my brainworms. take care. <3
pls this actually pisses me off so much because like, dude it just doesn't make sense how normal and human-like he is U HAVE AN ALIEN IN UR CAST USE HIM PLS </3 his powers also piss me off but im not sure if im gonna talk abt that here or in another post
anyways, here r my headcanons abt Fang's alien-ness and how ppl around him react to it bc damn u monsta for not utilizing this
first and foremost, he'll have a weird accent -- like, it sounds like a mix of many of Earth's accents but no one can pin point what it is specifically
its not WEIRD weird its just unfamiliar
he plays it well tho, all confidence, nonchalance and attractive face makes ppl see his accent as sooooo mysterious and hot
he can speak every language spoken in Malaysia btw bc he probably thought thats what everyone can do
gopal goes on a tangent in tamil bc he's scared of how his parents will react bc he got a bad grade or smth and fang's just like "this is why u have to study instead of playing games the whole time" or says smth (in malay) that references what gopal said in tamil
and the Gang just looks at him like O_O "u understand him??"
and fang's like "...yea? dont u guys know tamil?"
and they're like "no?? just a little bit??"
and fang's like oh! he learned all the damn languages in this country for nothing
its useful tho whenever they go to Sabah/Sarawak or go to other areas in Malaysia, Fang can talk to just abt any person which makes him their assigned Public Speaker
just... there's so much potential, yk? He's different than everyone else so there's a lot of potential comedy in him being oblivious at what hes doing and potential lessons in him viewing or doing things differently than the human cast
he can help the gang settle and act as a bridge between the humans and the aliens bc he's technically, both lol
human girls and guys describe him as otherwordly how he's so intruiging and mysterious bc of his aura and like, yea bc he's an alien
any aliens that the BBBGang helps will look at Fang first bc they know HIM (his brother, at least) before they knew boboiboy so they'll talk to him before turning to the others and most of the time, fang will have to translate the conversations
his clothes r a mix of comfort, cyberpunk and medieval knight-ish with its armor-esque touch and ppl call it unique but he's just dressing up in the only way he knows how to
bc Monsta is not being realistic abt the physical and mental state of children who had been forced to fight unspeakable dangers at the age of 11 onwards so now I'm taking over
Yaya
if u think Yaya, at any age, didn't look at her powers and the awful, horrible things she has to put up with constantly that she shouldn't be at her age, and thought "I Must Prepare Myself For The Continuous Danger That Lies Ahead So I Can Protect Myself, My Friends and The World" and did exactly that ure WRONG
my hc is that Yaya works out a decent amount over her whole body but she has the strongest, most pronounced upper body/arm muscles anyone has ever seen on a teenage girl. Guys, come on, her main thing is flying, throwing things around and punching she needs to get SOME muscles from that alone??
oh and she also does professional boxing lol maybe when she's older she can even request TAPOPS to make her some special boxing glove-gauntlet hybrid for her to use when situations r dire like that thing she used during the last fight in Windara and when she fought Retakka during BBB Movie 2
strength wise, she's the strongest girl in TAPOPS (Shielda is coming at a close second) and the second most terrifying figure only to on-work Laksamana. she also has a super disciplined and ridiculously well planned schedule of when what how she works out and rarely strays from said schedule.
Ying
Ying and Yaya r just 2 kali 5 (the same) so if one does smth there's like a 75% chance the other's gonna do it too and no way these two didnt make it a competition between them so there's that too
like Yaya, Ying also works a decent amount evenly all over her body EXCEPT for her legs which she puts most 90% of her effort on bc like, yk.. speedster.. kicking ppl.. it kinda comes with the package or whatever
I hc that she's been doing Taekwando since early elementary and decided to go all in and more focused now that she has powers so by BBBGalaxy she's definitely a black belt BEAST
LEGS for DAYS dude she can probably crush a watermelon with her thighs and do NOT race her even without her powers she will most definitely beat u bc omg?? she's like a little hare?? she also probably does a bunch of other sports too now that her power gives her confidence and will compete with Fang often
also the only reason she isn't co-Strongest Girl in TAPOPS with Yaya (although she would be when it comes to lower body strength) is bc she can't have TOO much muscle then it'll be difficult for her to speed and sneak around and practicality is more important than a competition (look at my girl maturing) so she learns to let it go (eventually..bitterly..)
she, yaya + shielda r gym bros and compete over who has the most stamina
Gopal
guys, Gopal is canonically large yet fit. BRO CAN CANONICALLY DO GYMNASTICS HAS MONSTA NOT DONE SMTH ABT THIS??? my man has been gifted, sniped and robbed
I hc Gopal to be like, super duper built!! since he likes eating but Captain Papa forces him on a strict work out schedule he just keeps growing and working out until he's practically a mountain lol
idt Gopal would do much martial arts? maybe he'll pick up a thing or two from each of his friends' fighting styles but thats abt it lol I hc Gopal as their marksman so while hes not super good at martial arts, he's like the top tapops sniper/shooter
GUYS PLS HE CONSTANTLY USES FINGER GUNS TO ATTACK THINGS FROM AFAR WHY WOULD HE NOT HAVE THE MOST KILLER AIM/EYESIGHT EVER??? give gopal a gun and 10 targets and he'll shoot them all dead center in 20 seconds (and yes he can still do whatever ridiculous thing Monsta made him able to do but then forget for the rest of the series)
he also works out with yaya from time to time in exchange to teaching her how to cook/bake
Fang
why do ppl forget my manz has BEEN training since he was a child, probably. he was put into this life long before yaya, ying and gopal and maybe even bbb as well. justice for fang pls make him more op he deserves it hello??
anyways Fang will be lean but fit. he's not super skinny but hes nowhere near Gopal's level which hes a bit peeved abt but is mostly fine with since sleuthing and sneaking around requires more lithe bodies anyways
why would he take up on an Earthling martial art?? he probably takes up whatever martial art his home planet does but subconciously learns his friends' martial arts as well by sparring and watching them fight OH BUT HE CAN 100% SWORDFIGHT TOO
I hc Fang to have a sword made out of light/energy actually lol. I think it'll make sense for teeny tiny Fang to have it since Kaizo does but he never rly stopped learning and using it as he grows up despite his powers being shadow-based. maybe his sword even has a feature where it can create shadows?? idk but i need more swordsmaster/weapon master fang
he's as disciplined and determined as yaya and ying although he takes more cheat/off days than them OH AND HES SUPER AGILE AND QUICK WITH AMAZING DEXTERITY bc yes.
Boboiboy
hes actually the reason why i thought up of this thing in the first place lol because WDYMMMM AMATO USED TO TAKE SILAT LESSONS BUT BBB DIDNT??? WHY WOULD MONSTA NOT MAKE BBB LEARN SILAT HELLO POTENTIAL WASTED????
so anyways Boboiboy does silat lol I hc Amato put him into in early on in his life and he's just been continuing to take lessons at pulau rintis and it effects the way his elementals fight (a mix of silat + whatever their home planet's fighting style is) PLS THE ELEMENTALS USING THEIR ELEMENTS AS KERIS OR SMTH THAT'LL BE SO COOL TO SEEEEE
also he has a sleeper build. I want this boy to look like the weak skrubkly wet cat when with his fit, muscly friends and the media/universe is like "lol look at this stick surrounded by his bodyguards" but gopal and fang know better. They've seen that same skrunkly wet cat flex his back while changing clothes and now they tease him at a distance where his arms can't immediately reach
hes like, a mix of fang and gopal?? like, at first captain papa has to force him to working out but then after that he kinda gets the hang of it so he has his own schedule that he follows but there r definitely days where he's too tired or too lazy to actually follow through lol BUT there r also days where he's suddenly a gym rat on steroids and he doubes, triples the time he spends at the gym then passes out after lol
anyways first tier elementals fight with whatever skill original bbb has while second tier elementals r the same + more individualistic (taufan has a lighter, quicker fighting style, solar and halilintar r almost similarly quick, efficient and deadly, etc etc), the third tier elementals fight with with a mix of silat + whatever martial arts their home planet uses and the fusions r the elementals' fighting styles combined
Okay little idea I have in my head when I see your post about Abang Kasim and Pirates dude. I never notice that they work together now. Not only that they we're close to stand side by side! Even Fang can bring himself to stand by his brother side as his brother so cold toward everyone and basicly push everyone aside.
But that pirates dude?? Get to be at Kaizo/Kasim side?? Wow. I guess the disguise do help Kaizo being little lose and actually bond with pirates dude since the pirates dude really is frienly. The angst idea tho...
Like all the pirates dude now work for Tapops. But here the thing we never actually why they work for Tapops. They could be 'force' to work as prisoner of Tapops as way to pay back all their crime. Because yes they we're criminal too and they actually enjoy being criminal.
The pirates dude and Kaizo come long way after the betray arc. Kaizo could be the one in charge to take care of all the prisoners in Kaizo section. Kaize and the pirates dude didnt get along at first. The pirates dude keep rebeling against Kaizo and try to run away with his buddy multiple time. Still hurt and betray by 'Kasim'.
Imagine that the pirates dude keep calling Kaizo 'Kasim' as nick name. It's to annoyed Kaizo actually. But again each time Pirates dude call Kaizo "Kasim" the more he feel hurt. He use it like curse. He thought he made a friend and allies. Only for Kaizo to stab him as his friends back? The fuvk. Pirates dude really hate Kasim.
Kaizo actually feel bad to all the pirate people. He spend so much time as Kasim to know about them. It's for mission to understand the enemy. But he know more about them in many way. And Kaizo notice that they actually not that bad unlike their boss.
They can be nice. Genuenly care for each other and have feeling.But again they still a criminal that do staff they isn't suppose to do. They never really question everything as long as they have fun and get pay for it. That the life those criminal choose.
When Kaizo first starting the mission that Pirates dude is actually the first Pirates that being 'friend' with him. He really is frienly and Kaizo have to admit it's tiring to be someone else. But Kaizo do find the Pirates dude is easy to be with. Maybe it's personality of the pirates. And fact Kaizo actually smiles when Pirate dude is around telling something that Kaizo dont understand. He actually happy to be friends with the Pirate Dude
Kaizo atleast own little apologies to Pirates dude for lying and betray their so call friendship. And that all Pirates dude want to hear..
Pirates dude: So Kasim-
Kaizo: Kaizo. My real name is Kaizo...
Pirates dude: Kaizo...
Kaizo: What's your name actually?
Pirates Dude: Oh...I dont have a name.
I know right!? That's what I'm saying too!! You are saying EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT.
I might write them a fanfic soon actually, this is VERY similar to what I had in mind!
Like- everything you said? It was like you read my mind!!
And In the comic, kaizo and Pirate dude are all fun and cheery one sec and kaizo goes all serious the next sec when he's with the other pirates in the next panel, where our pirate isnt! Its like as soon as pirate guy is a certain distance away, he takes kaizo's happiness with him-
So after the armada join TAPOS, kaizo still "acts" like 'Kassim' as in 'quirky fun space carwash guy' but only with this ONE specific pirate, and they still have the matching bandanas!
I also noticed parallels b/w Kassim and Fang in this, because fang's og name was 'Pang', but it wasnt truly himself, but when he used a fake name- "fang" and went in a disguise with ulterior motives, just like kaizo does as "kassim", he makes friends and becomes Fang, Pang is a shell of who he was- troubled and sad and serious- instead of being the child he is, but after he made friends and became Fang, he's more "himself", so much so that even his own brother, who knows what his og name is and has been calling him that since he was born, starts to call him Fang, because thats who he is now, the real him. Free, childish, happy. And most of all, having fun Living life instead of just surviving and fighting!
Same goes for Kaizo as kassim! He uses fake name, goes in with a disguise and ulterior motive, but makes a friend and acts more fun and happy when he's with that one friend- pirate guy! I feel like Pirate guy is the only one Kaizo|Kassim feels he could be himself around, he lets his gaurd down and acts a little silly, just like Fang with Boboiboy and everyone else! He's uptight around even his little brother, but trusts pirate guy and lets loose around him, like he's at ease. Like he's Happy.
Anyways yeah- sorry for the rant- its just that you get it! I'm not crazy! Its there for anyone to see!
