((of course it is, don’t worry your cute little grey head about it))
Send me a pairing and a setting for a short story!
Kano was a cuddler.
Shintaro wasn’t, but in this cold weather, anyone would be. He moves closer to the boy and presses his face in his hair, inhaling the scent of him.
“What are you doing?” Kano mumbles. He moves closer to Shintaro though, and he blinks a little when Shintaro kisses him on the lips softly. “Warming up.” He replies, pressing his forehead against Kano’s.
“Heh…Shintaro-kun, you’re just like a cat.” Kano says, and Shintaro scoffs a little at that. If anything, Kano was the cat-like one here. “…You must be half-asleep.” Kano mutters. Warm fingers touch Shintaro’s cheek, “You’re never nearly so openly affectionate.”
“Shame. I should do this more often. So warm…mmm…”
“H-hey…starting to get a bit too close…”
“You’re warm, I’m cold, stop talking.” Shintaro says. But Kano still squirms in his arms and Shintaro sighs a little before kissing the boy softly on his forehead, “What are you still so shy about?”
“I’m not!”
“Liar.” Kano’s shaking a little now, even as Shintaro presses a kiss on his earlobe, his cheek, close to his lips before he kisses him on the lips. Open-mouthed, less than innocent, still just as sweet.Even as Kano kisses him back, his arms wrap around him pulling the boy as close as he can. Again and again, breaking only to breathe until both of their cheeks are red, lips bruised.
“C-cold…” Kano complains, but he doesn’t pull away. He’s the one kissing Shintaro’s neck, tugging at his shirt as their bodies move against each other, their breaths hanging in the suddenly stuffy silence. A quiet only broken by quiet breaths and quieter moans.
“Sorry…"
"No…no, it’s fine.” Kano says. He meets Shintaro’s eyes then, bright and furious gold darkened down by shadows, something that makes Shintaro shiver, “…I’m too warm now anyway. I think I need something to cool me down.”
a/n: this is just an excuse for kanoshin fluff please do not mind me;;;;; im still intense kanoshin trash lmao and also i think kanoshin has the potential to be REALLY REALLY REALLY CUTE
DID SOMEONE SAY DOMESTIC KANOSHIN AU (it was me, i said it. im a fucking poser)
kano is the one who cooks all of the food. shintaro once almost burned down their house when he tried to boil water
whenever kano cooks shintaro will come up behind him and snake his arms around his waist and rest his chin on kano’s shoulder. and when kano’s like “shin i have to keep cooking the food is gonna burn and you’re distracting me” shintaro just kisses his neck and his ears and hums to himself
there have been way too many times that they’ve burnt food bc shintaro wants to kiss kano and they just leave things in the oven / on the stove
shintaro is a danger to society
shintaro and kano having a baby via momo as a surrogate mom
literally they try and gently suggest the idea of momo being a surrogate but she JUMPS up and hugs them like she gets so excited and then when they tell her that she can eat whatever she wants while shes pregnant she dances around a little
pregnant momo is the cutest little muffin and she sometimes she’ll call kano and shintaro at like 4 am and go “your baby is kicking!! i think she wants me to tell you that you’re both losers!!!” but yea momo is a great surrogate mommy
the baby is a girl. they both immediately decide to name her ayano
neither of them rly kno how to deal with babies but when ayano baby cries shintaro will play the guitar for her and kano will rock her until she falls asleep
one day they watch her fall asleep and kano just sighs lightly and murmurs that he loves them both. shintaro reaches over to pull him close to his chest and they fall asleep in their bed next to their child’s crib and they’re both so s o happy
wow someone WANTS to hear me talk about it bless u avery
Who was the one to propose:
shintaro bc kano’s RLY shy when it comes to these sort of things like if kano tried proposing he’d just stutter and get nervous and throw the box at shin and run. but shin wouldn’t be much better? it’d be a miracle if they managed to get married tbh
Who stressed more over wedding planning:
kano would freak out over the big things like location and date etc but shintaro would freak out over like. the types of soda served at the banquet
Who decorated the house:
kano decides most of what goes in the house but its mostly because he’s like “shin shin look i like that!” and then he walks away without rly caring that much about it and shin just. buys it. and then they have a new piece of furniture i guess
Who does the cooking:
shintaro once tried to make toast and he nearly burnt down the entire apartment complex so um
Who is more organized:
neither of them tbh but if i had to pick id say shintaro has rly organized desktop folders and everything but their apartment is kinda… messy….
Who suggested kids first:
kano says smth like “shin let’s have kids!” and then shintaro just sort of grunts but he starts looking up adoption services or asks momo about the possibility of her being a surrogate anyway
Who’s the cuddler:
kano initiates cuddling but if kano’s doing literally anything that involves him not paying attention to shintaro he’ll come over and lay on top of him and kiss his hair until kano looks up from whatever he’s doing
Who’s the big spoon/little spoon:
shin is big, kano is little
What’s their favorite non-sexual activity:
watching food network
Who comes home drunk at 3am:
neither. shin doesn’t like going out, kano doesn’t like being seen w/o his ability
Who kills the spiders:
NEITHER THEY WOULD JUST CURL UP IN THE BATHTUB UNTIL IT LEFT
Who falls asleep first:
usually kano
A head canon:
please don’t ge t me start ed bpls this is for your own good
-Shops for groceriesKano does it because Shintaro is such a NEET
-Kills the spidersBOTH CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM SPIDERS Kano does the killing with his Eyes on
-Comes home drunk at 3amBoth does and one thing leads to another sometimes…a lot of one thing leads to another
-Makes breakfastKano ruins the kitchen the most, so Shintaro makes them some simple things as best as he could I guess =|
-Remembers to feed the fishShintaro when he feeds Tono too. Kano sometimes become a stray cat for attention when Shintaro gives it to their pets the most
-Decorates the apartmentKano from buying weird things off the net with Shintaro’s account
-Initiates duetsKano sings Oh my Dirty but then Shintaro yells at him to shut up right away
-Falls asleep firstI think Kano? Like he’s tried from lying and Shintaro just let him rest while watching him being his real self in his sleep
hey i am shintaro kisaragi and i am really gay with shuuya kano and i would like to hear all of your headcanons about us (sorry if it's on a page on your blog i found you by looking at the tag ps don't let him see this it'll be really gay and i'll die from embarrassment)
this is literally the cutest ask ive ever received. ever
shintaro wakes up later than kano most of the time, but if he wakes up and kano’s still asleep, he’ll lay there and watch him sleep (feeling conflicted and creepy but overall too in love with kano to care) and brush his hair out of his eyes and touch kano’s hand and pat his fingertips and feel his pulse all to make sure that he’s still alive, still breathing, still perfect
kano wears shintaro’s hoodies all the time. all the time
kano is the one who cooks. it took him a little bit to get back into the swing of cooking bc yknow. he used to cook for his mom and stuff. but he’s actually pretty good, and shintaro really likes his food so it all works out
kano drags shintaro out of the house a lot. especially to the park and everything. most of the time they usually just walk around but sometimes kano will be like “let’s play hide and seek!” and shin’s like… ok…. but kano always wins bc he turns into a cat and hides at the tops of trees
shintaro sings in the shower, very quietly. kano likes listening
shintaro always covers kano’s eyes when a love scene comes on in movies and he’s like “no you’re too young for this” and kano’s like “thank you for shielding me i really appreciate that. really. wow”
they always hide under blankets together in the winter because neither of them can handle the cold
shintaro really likes playing footsie with kano under the table like he’ll always nudge his leg and kano will do it back. and they always do this. even in public. especially in public.
kano always holds his hand rly tight in public and pulls him close so that he’s basically pulling his entire arm to his chest and clings onto him like that everywhere they walk
in public. they have heart eyes for each other p much. you know those couples where you can look at them and be like. that’s a couple and they’re really. really into each other. yeah kano and shintaro are that couple
why kanoshin is good bc i did a psychoanalysis of this ship a while ago on twitter
kano- young, severely depressed, pushes down his emotions to dangerously unhealthy levels, puts huge emphasis on “not letting go of the past”, SEVERELY DEPRESSED, hates himself
shintaro- young, severely depressed, pushes down his emotions to dangerously unhealthy levels, actively refuses to let go of the past in route xx, attempts to grow as a person in route 1 by moving on, SEVERELY DEPRESSED, thinks of himself as trash
both are extremely mentally unwell people who would understand each others state of mind, and understand the various coping mechanisms used to deal with mental illness and the like
shintaro has been shown in canon to care deeply for the members of the mekadan, shows concern over their well being. upset by the idea of kano hating him, as he expresses to kido.
kano hated shintaro as a teenager bc shintaro was a fucking ASSHOLE to ayano while she was alive. you cant get around that. he was rude af to her and she put up with it bc ayano was a good person. kano resented shintaro for treating her so terribly. lashes out after being under extreme stress, including being forces to pose as his older sister’s corpse.
kano in present day regrets his actions, recognizes that he’s done unforgivable things, and quote, thinks of [shintaro] as an idiot, but also a good person. he’s warming up to him.
kano letting go of past memories and regrets = starting fresh with shintaro, as he is willing to apologise and make complete amends with him
why wouldnt you like this ship
shintaro and kanos true personalities mesh perfectly. true kano has a nearly the same mindset as shintaro, yet it has been shown that when he lets his guard down, he’s somewhat cheerful. yes. its a cheerful dork and a grumpy dork combo. who doesnt like those.
both of them are INCREDIBLY intelligent and would be an intellectual power couple
can work through their past traumas together. neither of them have had great lives. especially not kano. shintaro, having regret not listening to ayano’s troubles while she was alive, would be more than willing to do everything in his power to help kano like himself
SHIPS DON’T HAVE TO START OUT LOVEY DOVEY THEY HAVE TO GROW
KANOSHIN IS A VERY COMPLEX SHIP THAT HAS REALISTIC EMOTIONS AND COMPATIBILITY GOLDness
they are human. they will forgive. ene thinks that shintaro will forgive kano. they will become better friends. dont believe me just watch [uptown funk plays]
kanoshin is fucking golden don’t believe anyone who says otherwise
I suddenly got hit with Kano Brainworms and now I have this Completely Unorganized post and it's gonna be your guys' problems now !! Just saying there is no flow to this whatsoever I just slapped all my points on and called it a day
Just. god I will Never stop thinking about the Tateyama siblings relationship with their younger selves and changing and growing and learning to accept themselves and Kano's. Not doing that. Remaining stagnant.
Like it's Everywhere . (Unfortunately it's been Sooo long since I've read light novel 5 so I don't have any sources to pull from there but I'm sure there's a ton okay)
Yobanashi Decieve is spent tearing down Kano's layers throughout the entire song and what do you find at the end? When he finally admits that he hates all this? Hates himself? What do you find at the center of the Kano Onion? His crying child self. At his core he still believes he is that crying boy, even says it himself "Ah, you never change", he's sneering at his current and past self, because they're the same, they're all the same. He's never moved on from his past habits and weakness. He looks at him and all he has to say is "Ah, you never change" and "Whoops, I screwed up"
Oh but we're not Quite done peeling the Kano Onion yet !! There's still a liiitle more left...
Close-up shot time !! Now you can see in its fullness his weakest moments, he's mocking his own suffering. He smiles and mocks himself, closes his eyes to his own pain and just bows. Throws my laptop
There's also this official art !! I think about this a lot but have never voiced it out before so here we go~
Just. Everyone showing off the wounds that led to their deaths, either with a smile/some enthusiasm or indifference at worst, with a pretty character-telling pose as well. And then fucking Kano, not even focusing on the photoshoot but staring directly at the evidence of his weakest moment, holding it limply, detachedly. Maybe saying that he's starting at it with scorn is too strong a word, his face looks slightly bitter at best, but I'd bet everything that that's what he's feeling.
I don't know just. Everyone around him, whether it's his siblings or the whole god damn Dan, being shown with some form of acceptance of their pasts and traumas, meanwhile Kano's still staring it in the face. Damn, you really don't lie when you say you haven't changed huh?
God my favorite example though, the one that makes me Scream.
Thank you Sidu for this art! I am now on the ground crying.
I'm too lazy to grab them right now but Kido and Seto also have art of themselves with their past selves. Kido fondly pats the head of her younger, insecure self, having growing confident and comfortable in her own skin. Seto holds his past self's hand in something liks solidarity. He doesn't have to be scared anymore. He's becoming the stronger person that he wanted to be.
And Kano?
Ah. well~. He's clinging to his past self, sobbing into his lap while his past self attempts to comfort him. Hm. With growing up you should become someone that your younger self can be proud of, right? Like Kido and Seto. They overcame their shortcomings so they could become proud of who they are today, right? Kano's collapsed in front of his past self.
Guess he didn't really do that, huh?
If anything, he's putting himself even lower than his past self. Maybe he hasn't grown, maybe not even stagnated but rather became worse, just with the same flaws that he had in the past. He didn't change at all, he just sank lower.
Your younger self can attempt to comfort you but didn't you hate yourself back then, too? So what does that make you now? Your younger self looks hunched over and dejected. He's probably just as disappointed as you are.
Ah, and there's text too, right? What does that say?
Mm. (I might have written an incorrect character but this sounds about right I think?) I feel like this was said somewhere else in kagepro, also in regards to Kano, but to be completely honest I totally forgot where. Still though. Uh.. fun! Kano says to himself not words of comfort but assurance that the future will only be more miserable, that he will only hate himself more as time goes on. As if you couldn't already tell with the art itself.
In Yobanashi Decieve, present Kano sees his other self suffering and jeers scornfully. They never changed. Here, past Kano and present Kano suffer together, with present Kano openly suffering if only to himself, clinging to his past hurt for comfort. Together they think, they never will change, they'll only get worse. It'll only get more painful.
Ahem. Just. Ugh! This one piece says so god damn much, and even more when you put it next to Kido's and Seto's. It killed me when I first saw it and still kills me to this day !!! God !
Also I don't have any funny images for this one but. Thinks about. (And I might have some details wrong because again, it's been a while since I've read light novel 5) How he thought he was useless as a child, wondered why he wasn't discarded like a functionally useless object (pretty sure he thought this while his mom threw away a broken tv remote or something?). And then in manga route 2 how he gives his life away as a tool to preserve the others' lives. He has a "use" and he's expending his whole life on it. Like I mean they're gonna die anyway but do you Really have to be like that I Hate you I hate you I h
Like once he has an objective purpose like that he faces it with an easy smile on his face. Bittersweet, yeah. But he does it so god damn willingly. Maybe he's just pretending to take on the role so easily, but still, I can't help but think that he found some comfort in having a direct "use" like this. Even if it just meant his death, for a hopeless cause. If he could just fulfill this purpose, then....
Just the way he smiles at his own demise during that Whole Sequence, even when the remainder of the Dan is Right There.
Just man. Collapses.
Kagepro is all about change and growth and growing up and realizing change and the future really isn't too scary. Meanwhile Kano's stagnant, still sees him as unchanged from his younger self, is too scared to change his manners even if it may help him. No wonder he hates himself. I'm just. Guh, shoves the themes of the narrative in his face Kano Please I'm begging
Like mf he looks content like everyone else in Summertime Record but Are You Really. Are you Really happy yet. Have you really found it within yourself to accept change. Accept yourself. Accept Everything. Do you really think that you'll be able to finally make your younger self smile?
Buries my face in my hands God this man will never Not haunt me for the rest of my days. Get him therapy. I'm normal about him.
I was supposed to be working on assignments but here I am, with my stupid little Kano essay at 1 in the morning. I doubt anyone's gonna read this but if you did I hope you enjoy? This man is very silly in all the worst ways. I love him, I hate him, I want to shove him into a microwave. I want to put him under a microscope. I have multiple times. This man is like a fundamental character that will never Not be a part of my life even when I thought the kagepro hellhole was somewhat behind me for the meantime. He just. Man! He's a lot. And I hope you're in pain with me now too over it ! Okay that's all bye byee~
"Till was going to propose on the night that the Lyrid meteor showers would be at their most visible.
Ivan passed away two days before that.
The ring. Till managed to shakily pull himself up to his workbench, his hand roughly grasping at the drawer to wrench it open. The small velvet box was both a balm and a searing pain in his hands, and as he opened it, he couldn’t stop the sob from escaping his throat.
Such a beautiful ring would never find its home on the finger of the only person in the world who could outshine it."
