hey hey if you still do asks and stuff, could I ask for a scenario or head canons with pred Itto and maybe prey traveler and/or Gorou? Sorry if weird ask, just wanted to see your take on it
i do still do asks ! it takes me a hot minute to get to them (like this one, sorry anon) but yes, i always encourage people to send me asks about anything and everything !
oddly enough, i haven't really thought about pred!itto a lot. he doesn't seem like the type of person who would maliciously go out of his way to eat someone, so unless that person was super evil or it was a big misunderstanding i can't really imagine itto being a pred at all.
..with that being said, i will still deliver your headcanons anon ! and who knows, if i get another bout of inspiration i might even translate some of them into story (lord knows my page needs some lmao)
itto is, for a lack of better words, pretty simple minded. if he's hungry in any capacity, then the next logical step is to find food, right? being an oni already makes the people who are paranoid of yokai scared that he'll break into their homes and roast them on a spit or something silly like that, so if he's in inazuma city and his gut growls then people are swiftly heading in the opposite direction
we also know itto is unemployed, as much as he boasts about his position as the king/god/supreme leader of the arataki gang, he still has no income. so a man has to survive somehow, right ? i doubt itto would ever really try to hurt someone good-natured in anything other than a sparring session or a misunderstanding, but in the off chance he does, he's maybe a lot more stubborn than willing to apologise. pride is pride.
because of his size he does need more intake than an average adventurer. know that i'm going off official art scales and not the wimpy twig-arm game model. i'm kind of in love with the idea of the traveler and paimon walking around somewhere like chinju forest and they hear footsteps behind them. drawing out their blade, they turn around and are met face-to-waist with itto. just saying, a perfectly timed stomach growl and smirk from our president oni would be just the cherry on top of that interaction.
itto is a rather blunt predator. he doesn't do the teasing or playing with his prey, and if he does, it's mostly unintentional and typically not to strike fear into their hearts, he thinks he can do that normally. for example, if his prey is shrunken down to a micro size, he'll hold them by the back of their clothes and hold them up above his mouth and just talk— probably unintentionally scaring the living daylights out of them by showing off his sharp fangs.
but back to the traveler and itto. his gut growls and he smirks, easily able to overpower them from sheer size alone. though the traveler is an experienced warrior at this point, they haven't really ever fought against an oni, so it's not unbelievable that they might lose. itto would pin them down against the grass with one hand clsmping their wrists together and smile, giving a comment like; "you did a pretty good job ! in fact, i'd love to brawl with ya again some time. you'll have plenty of time to think about it and get back to me." and then he would lift them up effortlessly, and simply start slurping them down like its nothing.
because of the size difference, it doesn't take that long. a few swallows, probably without the assistance of his hands that he places on his hips rather proudly as the traveler slides down his throat and gives him a tight pot belly. itto would give a satisfied groan and slap of his belly, mostly happy that his stomach is finally full and not at all concerned about the literal person he just swallowed alive. as he saw it, it was a pretty fair fight. he deserves it !
the traveler, of course, doesn't just give up like that. so after itto's first few moments of initial relief he tenses up as they start kicking and struggling, pushing against his tight stomach walls in any and every attempt to get out. but itto is just as tough on the inside as he is on the out, and all it really does is give him a slight stomachache for a few moments and a little bit of indigestion as he stifles a burp in his fist.
finally satisfied though, he can get back to his oh-so important duties as the head honcho of the arataki itto gang. and he does just that— with nobody daring to question why he seems to have a beach-ball sized gut behind his stretch abdominals in fear they might be next.
Cool, modern setting definitely appeals to me more than canon right now.
Yeah, I love the idea of Eren eating bullies, it’s just so fun. He’s so hot-headed and impulsive, it’s easy to picture that his attempts at defending Armin end up getting really out of hand sometimes, and this is just a whole new unexpected level to that.
At first he’s pretty disturbed. He didn’t really intend to eat anyone when the fight started, he swears, it just.. sort of happened. And he definitely plans to get the bully out before any digestion happens! Just maybe Eren wants to let him suffer a little beforehand, you know, freak him out, make sure he won’t mess with Armin or anyone else anymore. ..Also his throat is really sore after that first vore and he is not very eager to try to make himself throw up an entire human being.
Maybe he falls asleep before he can make sure no digestion occurs, maybe he just decides the guy isn’t worth the trouble, I don’t know, but either way that bully is gone and will never pick on Armin again. And Eren didn’t need to be defended by Mikasa to beat the bully, which, yes. He feels guilty about not feeling very guilty, but mostly it just felt really good to be that full, and the guy was trash anyway. Not a huge loss, right? He tells himself he won’t make it a habit, despite frequent thoughts about eating other people, but it isn’t long at all before Armin’s being cruelly picked on again and Eren can’t help but gulp down the bully responsible.
He tries to stick to just people that specifically bully Armin, guiltily thinking that he can quit any time, but ends up kind of addicted. He really, really likes this way of taking care of bullies. Being able to make his best friend’s life better is always great, but especially when it’s such a delicious process.
