🍳 = What kind of family gatherings does your muse prefer and why?

+ @champofpallet​

Family Headcanons

Kukui doesn’t really have a big extending family of blood relatives, it’s really just his parents and of course Burnet who are his immediate family that live on the islands. He knows everyone though, and considers the whole Alolan populous as sort of a big extended family to a degree, he’s just like that~ But events or holidays that are meant for smaller intimate family gatherings are usually spent specifically with his wife and parents. He does loves big social events that everyone can get involved in but the smaller ones do have a special place in his heart. 

With he and Burnet being as busy as they are, he doesn’t get to spend as much quality time with his parents as he’d like to, especially with them getting older, so any sort of day where the four of them can spend some quality time together and catch up are very important to him!

😞 = Finding an orphaned child would your muse opt to take them in, find someone more qualified, or just leave them?

+ @saxvie

Family Headcanons

Kukui would ABSOLUTELY take them in without question. I mean look at how he and Burnet took Lillie in~ Their first priority is to provide a place for them to be safe then deal with whatever follows later. Given that they don’t have children of their own at the moment, their home is always open to those who may need somewhere to stay. 

Of course situations are usually a lot more complex than just finding a lost child so whatever decisions that need to be made later on down the road will absolutely be made with great care and only with the child’s best interest in mind. 

[professor-kukui]

😤 = How would/does your muse handle unruly, difficult or dangerous behavior from their children?

+ @itsblazedragon

Family Headcanons

Just about the same way he handles just about everything. He’s all about positive reinforcement and gentle redirecting. As someone who regularly deals with dangerous Pokemon he’s very adept at dealing with difficult and dangerous behaviors, as well as young and headstrong Pokemon trainers. As the region professor all the young trainers in Alola somewhat fall under his responsibility, with the help of the island Kahuna’s of course. So should any of the trainers really fall out of line or try to push their bounties farther than what is safe for them he’ll definitely step in.

It takes a lot to really bring out Kukui’s stern side, and he certainly doesn’t enjoy getting to that point, but he’s definitely not the kind to get really angry he’s more of the “I’m just really disappointed” sort, which is arguably worse. He wants all his students to succeed and he takes it hard should they ever fall to the wayside.

Do you like kukui because he is a buff boyo

I like Kukui because he’s a shining example of how a man should act around children and how he should treat his wife. Kukui loves his wife so fucking much and he can and will shout it from a mountain top. Burnet continues to work in her desired field of interest and Kukui works alongside her in the career (instead of being intimidated by her knowledge and self-sufficiency) and supports her advancements in technology. And he cares about the kids, makes sure they are watched (even puts Rotom in their care; don’t act like Rotom wouldn’t call Kukui if you were ever placed into a situation it didn’t trust you to be able to handle) and even puts on a mask to entertain the kids with an alter ego even though it’s painfully obvious it’s him.

Kukui is a good dad. At the very least, a good uncle. He tries his best and he does very well.

soulmate au where you can’t lie to your soulmate

You could probably tell Kukui the worst joke ever and he’d still just wheeze over it all day tbh he’s hopeless~

[professor-kukui]

[ Wow it’s been a long time I’ve been so busy lmaoo but jeez hey guys I have missed y’all a lot! A small update of sorts as I’m looking to get back into RPing slowly but I wanted to just let you know what I’ve been up to and that I’m still alive! ]

Don’t know if this is an official I’m back or not lmao~ I’m trying to get back into RPing when I’m not working lmao c’: if any of you remember the reason I disappeared for a little bit was because I was doing art for a kids book but that ended up falling through as my tendinitis made it very difficult for me to meet deadlines lol, so I thought it best I leave the project so I wouldn’t continue to hold them back so now I’ve just been working doing freelance commission work which is a lot easier on me c: I’ll definitly be changing a couple of my rules around to make things a bit easier on myself regarding RPing so please bear with me ;o; 

I check in on here every now and then tho to see how things are, hope you all have been doing good <3

IT'S FATHERS DAY!!! You know what that means. Many malasadas organized into the 💪🏽emoji. " HAPPY FATHER'S DAY YO!!!"

+ @igxttabakeanothaxne

     “Aw, kiddo that really.. means a lot yeah!” He couldn’t help but choke just a bit. He often was asked why he and Burnet didn’t have children. Was it work? Maybe they weren’t ready, they were a young couple yet it was hard to picture them not having children~ Kukui always smiled, politely receiving the questions but dodging them if he could. It had always been a tender subject though he never showed it. 

     It was a strange feeling to know there were others that looked to him in that way, like a father. A strange and beautiful feeling. Sometimes when he really gave it thought he wasn’t sure his heart could take it. Did they know how much it meant to him? Did they have any idea? To have an effect on someone’s life like that... it meant the world to him. 

     He had to pause for a moment, fiddle with his hat just to compose himself “Really, I appreciate that more than I could say!”

So the official Pokémon Twitter page is doing a series of Pokémon-themed wedding tweets and it is literally the purest thing ever I can’t even.

[professor-kukui]

👀 + "Professor, how did you and Professor Burnet meet?"

Send my muse “👀 + a question” and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty. 

+ sunmerchild

“Heh, now that feels like a while ago, yeah~” They’d only been married a few years when they met Lillie. Most considered them to still be in their honeymoon phase, and maybe they were, but to Kukui it had felt like they’d been married their whole lives buy the time they’d settled down yet he could still remember the first day they met.

“I wasn’t even a ‘professor’ back then if you can believe it~ She’d just arrived to the islands and I was helpin’ her move all her stuff in- well movin’ stuff wasn’t my job or anything I had just offered.” it was a bit of a long story the more he thought about it. Boring, sappy details that he reflected on very fondly but others would probably find them boring. He laughed to himself. 

“I remember thinking, ‘she’s gotta really know what she’s doing to have this much equipment and such’, I didn’t even know what half of it was to be honest. I just… I loved the way she talked about her work~ It was inspirin, you know? Havin’ that kind apassion for what you’re doing and really giving your all for it.” again he laughed “Somethin’ just clicked with me, I dunno, but in that moment I knew she was the woman I needed in my life, yeah!”

[professor-kukui]

“Oi, Kukui!” Xavier waved the professor down, he’s heard that he’s talked to boss before, and he wanted to ask him a few... questions. “I heard you were talkin’ to the Big G the other day- what gives? You plan to take us down?” (lookinlikefoolz)

+ @lookinlikefoolz

   “Ha ha, no no cousin, you ain’t gotta worry about anything like that, yeah. So long as you all don’t go around causin’ too much trouble I shouldn’t have to step in, you know? But don’t go givin’ me a reason~” 

[professor-kukui]

👀 + how much can a machop chop... if a machop could chop... chops?

Send my muse “👀 + a question” and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty.

+ @itsblazedragon

     ..... “How does one chop a.. ‘chop’?” 

[professor-kukui]

👀 Would you know how to dethrone Guzma, the leader of team skull? - Can you beat him down like he beats everyone else down?!?

Send my muse “👀 + a question” and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty.

+ @queenlybxnes

“Heh, can’t say I could help you much there, yeah~ I’ve known Guzma a while but truth be told I don’t know much about Team Skull as a whole. And if you mean beat ‘em in a Pokemon battle I think I’m pretty well equipped to handle a challenge, woo!”
