[*1]: Not sure what he's talking about... Most likely a reference to a backstory or comic. Help would be appreciated!
[*2]: learned adlib-ing from Sakuya lol. Basically, Taichi originally just called Itaru Junk Food-er/ "junk fooda" (junk foodie) but I had to listen to Sakuya to get good gacha luck, so I changed it to Ultimate Junk Foodie (to add a little kick to it.)
Hiii I don't know if you would write it (it's okay if you don't) but to change the tone a bit, could you do a list of toxic traits/red flags of the troupes members? I saw it in another fandom and thought it would be interesting! love your stuff btw
Thank you for waiting love!! š That said, hope you are still around aksdjkdn it's been a while.
I wasnāt sure if you meant in a relationship or just in general, so I went with the flow a bit and did whatever felt more suitable for each at the time (hence why some are longer)
Warning: I focused on showing bad traits and exploiting them so my apologies if any fan doesnāt like what I chose, donāt take it too much to heart!
A3! and their toxic traits
Sakuya āĀ Conflict avoidance / Insecure
He struggles to voice what he wants because heās afraid of upsetting others, this leads to Sakuya never deciding anything which can become kinda... vexing.
Of course, when thereās a fight he just doesn't wants to argue, and definitely avoids discussing certain topics. Not to say heāll just apologize, but he will often try to find a solution (even if it doesnāt make much sense) to pretend itās all good and everyone is content when in reality, no ones is.
Itaru ā Childish / Half-assed
Has a tendency to talk about people behind their back when they do something that upsets him, instead of talking it out.
Sometimes going out with him feels like babysitting. He tends to complain if heās in a place he didnāt want to be. Itās his day off and you two already saw one another three days ago, couldnāt he just have stayed at home?
Incredibly bad memory when it comes to remembering special occasions but try asking him when is the birthday of his favorite characterā¦ or maybe donāt.
Masumi ā Overly intense / Tunnel focus
This boyās downfall are relationships. Masumi has incredibly intense feelings ā thatās no surprise, so when he finally falls the beginning is perfect, almost fairytale like.
But then he asks opinions about choosing a wedding venue. Asks about a having kids. When going to the store he even begins to look for baby clothes. First week gone and heāll want to meet with in-laws. Want to move in together.
He loves so much that itās overbearing and doesnāt realize how pressuring he is ā how fast heās willing to moveĀ everything. Still, whatās there to think? Their partner mustĀ want the same thing.
Chikage ā Righteous / Emotionally Distant
Being with him, whether itās in a romantic relationship or friendship, is emotionally draining.
While people pour everything they have into their relationships, Chikage, aside from the people from Mankai, won't even be half as invested. And all the time, patience, and effort that should've come from both parties is off unbalance which ofc turns into an eventual distance.
IF heās ever confronted about it he sighs, because as expected, it now has become a tiring task for him. People know heās usually like this. Why getting angry or bothered by his persona? Itās not like he was lying or anything to anyone.
Tsuzuru ā Workaholic/ Untrustworthy
I think at first his relationships would be great. Tsuzuru does try to make time for friends/partners/family after all.
But sooner than later, heās again cramped up with scriptwriting, uni, work... you name it. Ā People notice the pressure heās under, so heās usually proposed to take a break, to go with someone somewhere,Ā but he just doesnāt listen.Ā
He will be apologetic āIām so sorry, I have to complete this before the end of... āI forgot we wereā¦ā āIāll make it up to you next time!āĀ and itās understandable, but heās always like this.
If anyone insist too much, he might get irritated and snap, and if the person snaps back or leave he does realize how badly he messed upā¦ but half the time, he wonāt make a move. Heāll tell himself to talk it later.
Citron ā Toxic Positivity / Overthinker
King of no one can be mad if we donāt focus on the issue? A little bit tactless given the situation as well.
And god bless him but while he takes notice if anyone is not feeling well, partner or not, he decides to be absolutely oblivious to their bad moods. If they want to talk about it he doesnāt get it either. Why is everyone upset about it, at least itās over now!
Doesnāt like taking responsibility for his actions, making excuses to justify his behavior.
TenmaĀ ā Accusatory / Invasive
Always has something to say, no matter the argument ā even if he's clearly the one in the wrong. Instead of working it out rationally, he shifts the blame away and pins it on the other person, guilt-tripping into thinking he's the one compromised.
If others were indeed wrong however, prepare for a non-stop nagging for days to come. If driven by his ego, this will escalate and inĀ eeeevery conflict, this will be brought up.
In a relationship Tenma thinks he has the right to intervene in his partnerās personal affairs, meaning if they have something going on or someone they have a problem with, heās going to lash out even if he was asked to leave it alone. What-? Why are you mad? You should be thanking him!
Muku ā Pessimist / Passive
He want to know everything about everyone and in a relationship, his partner is always free to tell him about their problemsā¦ but thatās when troubles begin.
Overly sensitive, and when stresses heās the type to blame himself in any situation which makes dealing with him kind of exhausting after a while.
That said, despite his kind self, Muku is overly passive in his communication. He often avoids direct confrontation, leading to unresolved issues which given his pessimistic nature as well have him tensed all the time awaiting when his actions might turn against him.
Since it really always his fault, you donāt have to remind him.
Misumi ā Uncommunicative / Dismissive
Misumi, as many here, has a tendency to avoid confrontation and suppress his emotions, leading to communication barriers and unresolved issues in any type of relationship.
As it goes, this lack of communication prevents any relationship from progressing and resolving underlying issues, creating a stiff dynamic... at least from other people's view, since Misumi likes to get over things quickly and expects everyone to do the same. A little bit tactless in that sense.
This includes having a hard time taking the blame. He wants it to be on everyone. Even if itās his fault, the closest anyoneās ever going to get is something like Mmm we all said and did things we shouldnāt, right? letās try to move on!
Kumon ā Overwhelming / Unattentive
He doesnāt even know he usually speaks over or interrupts others but definitely knows he has the need to protect their partner.
Heās so deluded into thinking heās doing a good thing by pulling their partner away from the slightest danger. Sidewalk is too crowded? Heāll insist to walk on the busy road. Too hot today? Maybe itās better to stay inside. He pulls everyone away every time he thinks they are close to getting hurt. At first itās nice, but does become suffocating.
And if it's his partner tells him they donāt need his help, heāll laugh before assisting anyway.
In general relations sometimes he will not stop even if you canāt keep up with him if heās too excited. Heās just go go go all the time.
Kazunari ā Liar / Dependant
On one hand Kazunari knows he can be completely honest with his partner, but he canāt differentiate between being honest in a way that supports a healthy relationship withoutā¦ sometimes being honest in a way where he says something to hurt their feelings. So yeah, he sometimes lies.
He also involuntarily crosses boundaries (no consent in certain lives, photos uploadedā¦) and suffocates with constant attention. He struggles with trust issues too, constantly seeking validation from his partner or others to alleviate his insecurities.
This behavior in the end becomes draining if heās in a relationship, as his partner feels trapped and unable to maintain their independence.
Yuki ā Non-existent filter / Accusatory
During intense moments of blinding anger, Yuki jabs out everything he thinks without ever sugarcoating it, and there really isn't much to stop that.
Also maybe because while logical most of the time, heās a bit short-tempered in certain situations (especially when stressed), so if provoked or at least he feels recriminated, he'll say some really hurtful things, insecurities that people took time to open up to with him.
If something goes wrong and heās not in the fault heās quick to complain as well. He already knew what was going to happen, so why did everyone insist on doing it? And why would anyone think he will sympathise afterwards?Ā
Banri ā Expectations / Charge
Wants to be in charge of everything. Prone to micromanaging their partner while stubbornly refusing to ask for help even if itās obvious,
He has so much going on that if anyone crosses him, romantic relationship or not, Banri will play with the āI will leave if you wantā. Because he would leave and he wouldnāt even feel regretful.
Because of his good memory and capacities, he tends to wait for people to catch things quickly. He didnāt bring coffee to class and expects people to know that he drank it on the way because morning rehearsal was rough. He didnāt answer anyoneās text so he expected everyone to know that needs revision ā to him, that stuff is easy. What? No one knew? He always does similar details for everyone ā he shouldnāt have to say it out loud every time.
Specially his partner. They should knowĀ what heās thinking in these moments. If they donāt, maybe they didnāt love him as much as they said.
Taichi ā Jealous / Low self-esteem
This boy lacks confidence in himself and the relationship no matter the type.
Catches himself thinking how everyone is much better than him ā and in a relationship heās scared his partner would leave him for anyone. Makes sense. They are perfect and kind, heās just... him.
Of course he would want to be with their partner all the time, very clingy and overly emotional when arguing with him or when they tell him off. Might have taken a look or two at his partner's notifications of messages. He felt bad after though, he promises!
Juza ā Self-esteem / Walls
Usually clueless about what heās doing wrong and canāt seem to know how much effort to put into a new relationship, romantic or not. It could be days of not talking with him or him not answering just because he didnāt know if it would feel abrasive.
So yeah, I wouldnāt say heās blinded by his anxieties and worries but then again, itās not like heāll ever talk about it with anyone either.
In a relationship, Juza wouldnāt think they love him enough to stay if he reveals all his insecurities. In his eyes, his partner will leave him one day, he knows it. They are too good for someone like him.
Sakyo āĀ Rigid / Controlling
Exceedingly strict but only when itās related to him. Like, he doesnāt pick up the phone during work time because that wouldnāt be professional of him, yet when heās with others? He continues mentioning work-related stuff or leaves to take calls.
Thereās also certain controlling behavior in his romantic relationships. While he may initially come across as caring and devoted, his need for control becomes evident as the relationship progresses, leading to feelings of suffocation and resentment.
When in a fight, Sakyo is rough with his words and has to have the last word no matter what. His anger also lasts for days and the silent treatment is a huge thing. Will act like nothing has happened after that.
Omi - Ā Low esteem / Unwillingness to commit
This man's steps on eggshells with relationships, romantic or not. Omi is terrified to let anyone in and see their eyes judging.
In a relationship heās too scared to show how much he loves his partner and honestly that very own cautiousness, that unwillingness to fall, hurts more than he realizes.
Omi is also someone who never expresses complicated feelings, either. He might just need time, but never asks for any.
People are left feeling like they might only be in the relationship because he doesnāt want to hurt their feelings. When asked he hesitates, which hurts the most. He canāt seem to understand he needs to let himself go. This happens again and again because in the end, Omi decides that itās best to not fall at all ā he doesnāt need another scar.
Azami ā Extreme / Overly guarded
Azami is prude but as he grows, he becomes not soā¦ accepting.
He scoffs wherever he sees something he doesnāt approve, and if in a relationship their partner wants to hold his hand, heāll rip it away and lecture them angrily about how it might look to others. You should know by now.
As such, he tends to be emotionally distant and closed-off in all relationships. He struggles and often avoids discussing his feelings or concerns.
This emotional guardedness creates insecurity in the relationships, as many feel like they are unable to connect with him on a deeper level. His reluctance to open up leads to communication misunderstandings as well.
Their partner or friends must not love him, thatās the only reason he can think of ā but he wonāt show his fear of that possibility.
Tsumugi ā Distracted / People pleaser
This young man doesnāt make it on purpose, which is all the way down frustrating.
He will have periods of time where heās attentive to everyone, and in a relationship his partner is his number one priority.
Others becomes overly focused on his own pursuits, leaving little time or energy for nurturing any type of relationship. When he notices, he becomes again hyper attentive, doing anything for the relationship to not deteriorate.
But since additionally Tsumugi struggles to communicate effectively about his emotions and decisions, this leads to more distance to grow.
Hisoka ā Ghosting / Short-tempered
Honestly he doesnāt look into the care and delicacy relationships take. Doesnāt answer messages nor call and if he does itās quick and short.
Heās sparse with his attention. No, he doesnāt want to go out, partner, friend, or whatever should stop asking. Also itās becoming annoying. When in a fight, if he finds itās not important, it will always seem like he doesnāt care about anything.
Hisoka wonāt compromise either, he wonāt be more attentive, he doesnāt want to be, thatās too much work. And if they try to force it? Then people just donāt get him and probably just want to change him.
People unwllingness to accept and understand who he is only proves to him that this specific relationship whatever people what to call it, wasnāt meant to be, so he shrugs it off.
Azuma āĀ FaƧade / Bottling emotions
No matter what, he refuses to share information about himself and canāt keep everything equal, whether you are a friend or his partner.
If thereās a feeling like something is off, and anyone mentions it rather than admitting whatās on his mind heāll simply say that itās fine, that all is good and perfect, and then proceed to bury it even deeper within him.
Azuma keeps burying his feelings in and trying not to resent whatever is causing him like this more and more until one day something happens and his emotions erupt out of him and heās crying or worse, leaves for some time.
If anyone wants to know where heās been, well, good luck trying to figure it out.
Tasuku ā Rough / Absent-minded
Prioritizes his own needs and desires above others, resulting in selfish and insensitive behavior. I canāt imagine Tasuku changing his routine to fit someone else in, lover or not.
To him itās pretty straightforward If someone doesnāt fall into sync with him, thatās life and this relationship just wasnāt meant to be. What? Why should he change the time he goes to the gym ā shouldnāt his partner just get up earlier if they want to eat breakfast with him?
Or with his friends, sure he gets along, but why should he alter the way his life is, and try to finish rehearsal earlier? He doesnāt get the reason to change and tends to avoid fighting, not just because of cutting contact, but because he doesnāt want to fight with anyone... he doesnāt have time for whatever it is.
Homare ā Overly worried / Opinionated
By now everyone should know that he will not give you much space when thereās a problem. He will constantly be asking questions about it and little time does he tries to listen to all versions or if he even should intervene.
And holy molly does he intervene often enough.
Also Homare doesn't get mad almost never, but becomes incredibly distressed when something goes wrong.
He won't say anything when he's feeling like that though. It's hard for him to control his emotions during a difficult time period and usually needs to be comforted to calm down but becomes so difficult when itās time to allow people into the real him.
Guy ā Distant / Trust
If this man ever has any type of problem, most people, partner included, will never know.
Itās not that heās actively trying to keep things away, but he has no way of knowing that he should be sharing certain things.
Everyone is held at armās length. His partner might think being his partner would make them close, but it always feels like he confides in his troupe more than them.
Guy doesnāt have a good example of what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like, so donāt expect him to do anything romantic unless anyone tells him so. He also doesnāt have a filter, meaning heās brutally honest. No one should be surprised if he hurts feelings in his monotonous voice.
