no omg I love you too and I know about not wanting to mix profiles so I totally get it
love your take on aguni not being into alcohol. like. that makes total sense and im putting it in my personal headcanon file forever.
pirate au? killer. rival captains? or they both end up marooned on the same island? whatever it is they got that mr. Smee/captain hook energy
vampire au? love. would also be really funny if aguni was the vampire but also some normal guy while takeru is 1000% into the aesthetic and models himself after the dracula film from the 90's (put him in the diaphorous silk dress surrounded by roses ready to be fed from...and aguni just walks in like 'youre getting wax on my floor.'
do. NOT. get me started. ON THE ROBE. My GOD. It being violet is so chic. Did you see the blue and black houndstooth on the cuffs/collar? I dream of that houndstooth. I think aguni shouldve been punished for shooting hatter through the chest and RUINING THE ROBE UGH GOD WHY I mean ill still wear it tho BUT COME ON
Okay so guess who picked the vamp one I'M SORRY ABOUT NOT GOING MORE INTO THE 90'S BUT I GENUINELY FORGOT ABOUT IT,, and remembered only now when I'm posting this(ughhhh this one time I didn't check my notes,, I'm genuinely genuinely sorry this feels disappointing as hell and I feel ashamed to even post it,,)😭 Maybe I'll doodle up outfits(I'll prob won't be able to do rendered pieces until like June/July) more in that direction and something with Mori himself,
I was thinking about it and came to conclusion that Hatter would be the human in this situation(just loved these aesthethics as you said) as he would die without the ability to look at himself meanwhile Aguni would be the actual vampire. Still working at nights in his signature outfits that's why nobody ever suspected him,, and well, Hatter just loves roleplaying(I can imagine him having a foreplay of something around sucking blood out), ending up in vampire being the one bitten not vica verse
But at the same time, the doomed aspect, Aguni's immortality and Hatter's mortal lifeline, maybe end up turning human into a vamp too just to preserve his life,,
Also with the capitains, I was thinking more of side by side companionship, Militiants and Idealists as two different cruises yet their capitains work together, just like in The Beach hierarchy. I genuinely cannot imagine them being against each other in any universe unless it's the part of their argument, they literally only had each other from the start till the end,,
AND GOD I LOVE EVERY PART OF THE ROBE. Tell you what I have unfinished one sitting from almost whole year myself, I mean it's all sewn, the sleeves and front is painted(without the dark violet with black swirls in between the floral and animal pattern) but I cannot get myself to finish the back, it's just so huge and I want to have it lore accurate,,
