One day I will brute force my way through chief detective ken1
I likely won't have time to do this but I am soooo tempted to add some half-canon half-doing my own thing tzk characters to art fight
there's this series I've been toying around with that's basically kenichi higeoyaji adventures in a modern AU. And one of their adventures is investigating two opposing laboratories run by a pair of brothers.
The brothers' names? Houyoku and Yamato Shikishima.
AKA lost world private edition shikishima (houyoku) and devil garon shikishima (yamato). Houyoku is the older one but the black sheep of the family, and after an entire life of being relentlessly bullied for following his passion, he's only just now seeing success. Meanwhile, Yamato has had to pick up the slack of keeping in line with familial expectations and having more responsibilities than he can count, and he sees his brother as an embarrassment.
(And then Kenichi has to untangle all that while trying to figure out how he's related to them, if at all lol)
The two stay close to their canon versions, but the fact that they exist in the same story and are now siblings is justtttt enough to make them art fight OC eligible. I wonder who'd get more attacks of the two...... (my guess is houyoku. but they'd also likely both get 0)
devastating day in terms of my tomodachi life OTPs btw
first dot tried to confess to PH and was interrupted by toroko bookila, and within hours PH and toroko got married. they were only acquaintances before toroko barged in
then kenichi dumped rock's sorry ass, which, while accurate to the actor au plot in my head, bummed me out so much that i plunged into making four more miis to forget about the dream being dead
i am so close to getting rock and kenichi back to being friends but they're being SO SLOW ABOUT IT!!!! finally got them to both be at "would try again" and even got a cutscene of them talking to each other, but they're still exes...
pleaseeee it's not even about the romance anymore i just want them to hang out 😭
