idk if anyone else knows this but detco does have a bunch of games ranging from Gameboy colour all the way up to nintendo switch era. around 3~4 years ago a friend at the time and i went through and watched some playthroughs and i vividly remember thinking that the DB focused games were so CA heavy ...
The gameboy advance games were especially impressive, they had full voice acting and animations plus the cutest pixel sprites
(The Greatest Partner - The Old Magician and the Playing Cards Mystery) (GameBoy Advance)
first, context. the plot of this case is that while the DB were visiting a theme park (it's sort of a weird fusion of a zoo and an amusement park...) a magician that they went to see gets a phonecall where his grankid gets held hostage. the magician gets a heartattack from the shock and is sent to hospital, leaving the DB to figure out what it is that the kidnappers want from him.
when they're splitting up, haibara says she's going to sit this one out, but conan asks her to go with him
(conan's voice is very gentle throughout this whole game, actually. he's very sweet to the kids, which is twice as effective bc he asks her to come with him so gently.)
(and she didn't mind at all ;) )
(haibara's voice here is very gently nudging.)
(ai says this. she's very calm. the music has a romantic, relaxing vibe lowkey but i might just be delusional)
its worth noting that they spend this moment at the park going back and forth about the case.
case in point:
i already mentioned this, but depending on the director on the anime conan's aggression or snarkiness changes per episode as well as his parental instinct towards the kids. but he spends this game acting very sweet towards the detective boys and haibara.
since this is a coai moment list i wont include it, but there's a scene where he comforts ayumi while she cries and its very worth watching if u need a reminder that conan/shinichi canonically can be very kind towards the children and cares for them despite everything
anyway, next scene is SUPER CUTE, but the kids stick their nose in danger after fooling conan, leaving him to save them and they all take turns saying they believed in him—especially, because haibara told them to.
(should note—he says the first line in a soft, relieved way, and haibara has a very teasing tone while he fondly says her name. it drives me crazy.)
haibara actually leaves the group at this point in the game to go meet with agasa, so there arent any more moments for this case. the other two cases in the game are The Masked Knight Murder Case (with Conan, Ran & Sonoko) and The Greatest Partner (with Kogoro and Ran, no Conan). not really interested in those so that's all for this
the next game that has a DB focused case is in The Great Deduction of Three People—where you can play as Ai, Heiji and Conan. i'll cover that in a diff post since this is already so long
ok ok wait ,,,, mondo barking and or growling stim ? 👁👁
for the sake of continuity the title’s still here:
ADHD Mondo hcs from an ADHD person bc this ask fueled the brainrot (pt. 2!!)
Okay so
YEAH??
He totally does that??
Probably not at the school though bc again, he holds himself to a double standard in regards to stimming
I’d like to think that he discovered the growling and/or barking stim when he was just messing around with Chuck and playing tug of war with him I think that’s what you’re supposed to do with dogs?? Idk
He was just kinda teasing Chuck and then stopped and went
Wait A Damn Minute™️
Barking? He doesn’t do that one as much bc it hurts later on and he reserves that stim for time with Chuck
Growling?? All The Time
The other students perceive it as Mondo just grumbling and being a grumpy biker man who’s constantly being scolded by his best friend/boyfriend
I saw a post before about Taka growl stimming?? Yeah????
They growl stim together and it just sounds like grumbly noises of discontent like when your sibling just stands there in your doorway while saying absolutely nothing for context as to why they decided to be in your room at all
*cough cough* DAIYA *cough cough*
But yeah Mondo picked up growling from Chuck and Taka’s like
>:D
Bc his initial reaction is hahaha I do that
And this ask reminded me so much of this post that will forever and always live in my brain Rent Free™️
The chaos
People outside of school see two kids just mf barking at each other and they just stop and watch in utter confusion
The people who are watching them are probably neurotypicals /lh
I can confirm that growling noises make for a Very Good Stim™️
Mondo just. This man adores growl stimming bc it’s
A good noise that’s fun to make
A healthy method to deal with anger
A way to win back Chuck’s affection so that he favors Mondo more than Daiya again bc Daiya is not above bribery in the form of extra treats and food scraps
If anyone asks about why he’s growling, Mondo just says he’s clearing his throat or he got caught behind a truck on his way to the school and got a cloud of diesel straight to the face so he’s not feeling too hot
One of the only people who would think about calling him out on the diesel excuse would be Kaz bc he Knows engines and fuel tanks and what diesel smells like bc Mechanic Things™️
He wouldn’t dare though cjsjjfjs
Daiya jokes around with Mondo every so often by asking if he and Chuck had switched bodies somehow
wei wuxian took a look at his coreless shidi, looked death in the face and said ‘not today,’ lied his ass off and constructed a fantasy perfectly tailored for jc, and proceeded to reshape the reality of living bodies and rip himself apart to save jiang cheng
and jiang cheng wasn’t grateful*
*jc didn’t know—that was the whole point of the charade. but still. wwx gave him so much—you’d think jc would become less demanding-aggrieved-difficult after he got back a core, huh? a ‘thank you, shixiong 🥺’ wouldn’t hurt, would it, jc? of course wwx couldn’t stand him/to be near him afterwards.
So I am a firm believer that he makes you feel like you’re living in a coming of age movie constantly. Just just happens naturally somehow? The relationship never gets boring and it’s always in the honeymoon phase.
