Sucheon has neither the capability nor desire to be a fuckboy. Purposefully drives people away and has far too much trauma to even think of putting his dick anywhere. Also has the charisma of a rabid wet rat.
Duke is such a fuckboy, but in a political, ulterior motive kinda way. He'll dick anyone down if it means he can emotionally manipulate them with it, or he can use it as a bargaining chip to get what he wants. He's a charmer, good-looking, and had one of the highest prestige in the academy; he could literally ask nicely and he'd have someone in bed with him. I imagine he slept with at least half of the academy, and nobody except the top ten knew of his escapades (they all given him crazy ass side eye for this)
On the other end of the spectrum, Ian is a "i cannot for the life of me keep it in my pants" fuckboi. He's young, attractive, has a crazy amount of prestige to his name, and also has hormones he cannot keep under a leash. Anywhere he goes, he's bound to at least attract someone for the night. He's crazy flirty and leads people on just for the sake of his ego, but never gets attached on his side. It's only because of that he doesn't get in serious trouble with his grandpa for it.
Jisuk has the capability, but no desire. He has the laid back, chill, fratboy adittude that could easily pass as fuckboi, but ask him what his body count is and he'll immediately assume you're talking about death count. Not interested at all in that sort of thing, but he could if he tried.
Gahin doesn't have a crazy high body count like Duke does, but do not let this man ever get in your head. He's got the most inflated ego, but his face card is absolutely lethal and he knows it-to the point where his ego gets glossed over. Not a love bomber, but a serial flirter who plays his honey trap well. Probably stringing along like. five people, and like three are unintentional. Does it half because he likes to stroke his ego and half because he thinks it's important to have a handful of "followers" in your corner.
Curtin does not entertain anything like that; thinks his worth is beyond one night stands. He already knows he's beautiful, why would he need some simpering rat in his bed telling him that? Stringing people along seems cumbersome and annoying, no thank you.
On the other hand, Kayden doesn't have an issue getting down and dirty. He knows he's handsome and the hot shit, but he likes having his ego stroked to inflate that; and what better way through having a roster? He'll rarely ever actually entertain them, but he does sometimes when he's feeling especially shitty or bored.
I headcanon Subin having a black card. Like- her grandfather is the head of the union. And like that one panel where Jisuk says shes spoiled or like became the "princess" of the union that made her uncontrollable- (and the fact seongha agreed to jiwoo when he says along the lines of "she seems like an unstoppable girl" )
And i headcanon that Jisuk tried to ask Jiyoung for a black card once but got denied 💀
In the end Inhyuk and Jiyoung spoils him and the rest of the crew with snacks and allowances for the whole webtoon lmao 😭
Hey hey hey i was wondering if I can also have a request hc for eleceed kayden and kartien (separate) where mc is their younger sibling who went “missing” and suddenly boom 💥 there’s news of mc is pretty much alive healthy also married? and they have a kid with them 👁👁 how would these two kings react ??? Also love your writing it faces me some great inspiration and I hope you have a great dayyy 💖💖✨
thank you! have a great day as well, anon <3
KARTEIN
✽ — suffice to say this man spent too much time worrying about his dear sibling. You can imagine his absolute exasperation after finding out they’re alive, and well, and away from harm, but not only that; married and with a child too.
✽ — “You are insane,” are the first things he says. “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been searching for you? Idiot. You don’t even contact your own brother?” – most likely goes on a tangent like this. Demands to be told the whole story too, from start to finish. But naturally his mild annoyance wears down and, at the very core, he lets his sibling know he’s just relieved to find them safe, contented, and happy. Might get the tiniest bit emotional and allow a once in a lifetime hug. Might.
✽ — He connects with the MC’s extended family well, after spending time with them and somewhat getting to know their spouse and kid. Kartein, as with all things, prides himself on his exquisite taste for people, so once he’s gotten to know his sibling’s spouse long enough he approves quite well of them. Cue Kartein now sponsoring their fancy dinner dates and overseas flights.
✽ — NOW THE BABY. Oh, the baby.
✽ — At first look Kartein might not be the image everyone’s mind conjures when they think of a person that likes children, but Kartein actually has a very big soft spot for his niece/nephew. Occasionally, he mulls over the fact that his sibling just disappeared without telling him and, most of all, never informed him about his niece/nephew, but he respects his sibling’s choices and decisions and is just happy he gets to spend time with family.
✽ — When I say he spoils them, he spoils them. All the effort when it comes to toys and books and clothes. Birthdays? Kartein has a whole stash of presents ready. Christmas? New Year? Halloween? This uncle is ready for every season and holiday imaginable. All the gifts are expensive as hell too, with some even being personalized or gold-plated or studded with little diamonds — MC has to remind Kartein to go easy on the kids lest they grow up to become too materialistic 😭
✽ — He’s down for babysitting too. The first few times might not be the smoothest, as Kartein still isn’t well-versed in the likes and dislikes of children (they’re mildly gross too, always sticky and eating things off the floor...) but he soon takes up to the challenge of constantly taking care of his sibling’s kid/s. He reads them books and lets them tinker around with his healing apparatus, converses with them on anything they have in mind, and wholly supports their interests and anything their little hearts want to discover and learn. Becomes skilled at braiding hair and washing clothes and sewing/patching up any ripped blankets, shirts, or stuffed toys.
✽ — Speaking of stuffed toys/plushies: the kids would definitely bring any of their broken toys for Kartein to ‘heal.’ Kartein could never say no, so of course he pretends to use his powers (for some reason, it works sometimes,) or secretly repair them. It never fails to make the kids smile and, by extension, see Kartein as their ultimate idol.
✽ — Most likely talks to his nephew/niece about refined culture too, whether it be about music, visual arts, fine arts, fashion, or sciences like astronomy, anatomy, or botany. They visit museums and galleries every once in a while together, Kartein not being able to resist buying them anything they want when they go to gift shops.
✽ — Because it’s Kartein, the kids will be eating haute cuisine every time they come to his place for sure.
✽ — I see him as the type to help kids out with their homework and helps them improve on anything school-related that they’re stuck with, especially with mathematics or sciences. Of course he is greatly proud when the kids come home from school and boast about their accomplishments.
✽ — He’s a great uncle overall. MC has a growing comptetitive streak with him since the kids like their Uncle Kartein a little too much more than their own parent 😭 Either way, it’s just good that they, as siblings, get to see each other again, knowing their family is safe.
KAYDEN
✽ — This man is just relieved that his sibling is alive once he gets to see them. Immense strength runs in their genes anyway, so he was only slightly worried when news of MC disappearing got to him. As always, he just knows they can handle their self.
✽ — BUT THE FAMILY? Man, Kayden uses this to tease MC to no end. You really went all out once you were away, huh? Remarks like that were going to be frequent and then cranked up to a thousand once the siblings reunite. He can’t help it, Kayden is a professional shit-talker.
✽ — All jokes aside though, Kayden is Kayden to the bone and he just respects his sibling’s decision as well. As long as you’re safe, just do what you want to do. He forges a civil relationship with the sibling’s s/o and thanks them for looking out for his beloved sibling. May or may not reveal past childhood stories about his sibling to the s/o during dinner, who knows.
✽ — Onto the most important part: The Baby.
✽ — Now, if the baby were a little older, Kayden would actually know what he’s doing since...he’s got a kid (? a seventeen-year-old apprentice is more or less a kid, right?) that he’s gotten to know over time. But if it was an infant we were talking about, well...Kayden has a tiny fear of, I don’t know, not being able to hold them properly since those things were so fragile and stuff.
✽ — But he does make up for bonding with the baby through playtimes; shaking their little rattle for them and doing puppet shows for the baby, etc. etc. Follows a routinely schedule of mealtimes and naptimes and soaking-the-baby-in-the-sun times, just as he was with Jiwoo’s kitties. Basically carries over what strategies he has from being a full-time cat father, modifies it a bit, then applies it when he’s on Uncle Duty.
✽ — When the kid grows a little older, you bet they’ll hang out all the time with their Cool Uncle Kayden. Now, it can get a bit hard to bond with your niece/nephew when you’re an internationally renowned Awakener with hundreds upon hundreds of bloodthirsty enemies on your trail, but Kayden does his goddamn best to make sure they’re safe, happy, and having a great time overall. Goes along with them to parks, helps them in physical activities (and might even train them upon request too), treats them to ice cream and goes with them to the roller skating rink every weekend on the agreement that they finish their vegetables and take care of their physical health. It’s really a cool time.
✽ — When they’re Older Older, maybe somewhere around Jiwoo’s age or a little younger, that’s where even more training kicks in. To Kartein’s distaste, who thinks Kayden being fight-crazy enough to even teach his niece/nephew as well is sooo absurd (/j all the time of course), Kayden helps them improve on their abilities and powers from a developing stage. He’s always a great mentor as he usually is, and it’s not that different from what we see with how he trains Jiwoo. Is so, so fond and proud of his nieces and nephews when they fully utilize their potential to the maximum and beats their opponents’ asses during sparring.
✽ — Is the basis of gossip at the niece/nephew’s school. I place my bets that these kids have to suffer whispers of omg is that your uncle is he like an actor or a model omg omgomg from both students and teachers alike every time Kayden has to pick them up from school or something.
✽ — 10000/10 Awesome Uncle he’s surprisingly wise, fun, and a little goofy but also kind of a menace which, come on, who doesn’t love a menace? MC kind of gets headaches from it though. Kayden was already a pain in the ass growing up, him letting their own kids join him in being menaces just adds to the trouble. (They all love one another though. One can just say that teasing is a love language in their family.)
Prompt: What the Eleceed characters would have told their younger selves
Characters: Kayden, Jiwoo, Jisuk, Sucheon, Subin and Wooin
Kayden: “You won’t be alone forever.”
Dedicating his entire life to becoming a strong awakener and fighting others like him on an international scale left Kayden not caring about much else, including trivial things such as friendships and family. But whether he wanted it or not, a kindhearted kid with an affinity for cats and a constantly growing list of friends was going to crash into Kayden’s life in his hour of need and unveil a more human side to the mysterious, overconfident loner.
Jiwoo: “You won’t be scared forever.”
Moving to a new home every year and having his mother tell him to avoid contact with other human beings where possible often made Jiwoo think he was destined to be a monster for the rest of his life. Little did he know, he would soon embrace the very thing that terrified him and build a life for himself beyond anything he ever dared hope for.
Jisuk: “You won’t be angry forever.”
When his parents left him and his sister to fend for themselves far too early, Jisuk felt wronged. But more than that, he was devastatingly sad. With no one to anchor him, he channeled his grounding into a facade of short-tempered nonchalance. Hell, he couldn’t even remember what made him happy anymore. Until a perky, cat-obsessed schoolmate of his with a disarming smile makes him realize there’s still some good in an otherwise unforgiving world.
Sucheon: “You won’t be in pain forever.”
Spending every waking moment training himself beyond reasonable limits for his young age in attempt to please his father took more of a toll on Sucheon behind closed doors than he cared to admit. To be told he wasn’t good enough, to take physical punishments, to see his father’s miffed look of disappointment in his only son… Sucheon doesn’t even realize how bad the situation was at the time until his father’s long gone.
Subin: “You won’t be number one forever.”
Being the best seemed to come naturally for Subin. In the awakened world, she was hailed as being among the big four, with the Union backing her. In school, she was crowned the top student at Giyeon, a title she obtained year after year all on her own. Pride has always been a strong suit for her until she realizes in her teen years that it may be a downfall. There’s always going to be bigger fish in the sea. If only she had known sooner…
Wooin: “You won’t be wandering forever.”
Travelling with a professor who consistently had a bounty over his head due to his conduction of illegal awakened experiments left Wooin little opportunity to settle in at school or wherever his temporary shelter was. He never would have anticipated spending his downtime at a classmate’s house after school on the daily, chowing down on jajangmyeon with people he was happy to call friends, or finally finding somewhere to feel at home.
I imagine either Subin or Jisuk, maybe even both (definitely both), taking a sneaky photo of Kayden being soft for Jiwoo. They would want to use it as leverage. I mean, Kayden has a certain reputation to uphold, okay? The great mighty Kayden is ruthless. No one can see this. No one. (okay maybe he can keep a copy of it. Or two. Jiwoo would probably want one, right?) It doesn’t matter when everyone and their grandma knows that if you want to live you don’t ever touch Seo Jiwoo or his friends.
Inhyuk has a copy of it too coz he is also soft for Jiwoo. And Kayden but no one has to know that.
acc i retract my previous ask!! maybe some relationship fluff with IAN if u don wanna then Arthur or sucheon (STILL IF U WANNA-NO FORCING—)
i’m delirious i wrote this at 2 if it’s complete shit i’m sorfy also i chose ian bc i think ive already done something in line with sucheon and asher in relationships
Ian Patrick Relationship Hc
yapper bf. will not shut up. will never shut up. always has something to say and makes sure you’re listening.
good thing is he’s not clinically insane like the rest of the awakened ones so he does have a pretty good sense of boundaries and normalcy in relationships
also relatively self assured and chill so he doesn’t need to be constantly lavished in attention/compliments and doesn’t get insecure easily
does get very possessive though. he’s one of those guys who doesn’t believe in “boy/girl best friends”
also really fucking funny. if you want a funny boyfriend you’ve hit the jackpot. has the most insane diabolical insults and one liners you’ve ever heard.
playful and likes playing pranks on his s/o. if you don’t like it you’ll have to draw that boundary clearly
he has chronic youngest sibling behavior wherein he will subtly look for your approval or validation in what he does. like he cracks a joke and then waits for your reaction. he’ll tell you something he did and make sure you approve of it. he can live without it, but looking to you for validation is like a knee jerk reaction for him
gets comfortable with you very fast. the “try to act perfect in the honeymoon stage with your s/o” stage is very short lived for him.
very big on physical touch. always got a hand on you somewhere and gets lowkey offended if you try to swat him away
can be forgetful or careless but it’s not on purpose.
somewhat amenable to reason, so communication isn’t a nightmare. if your argument makes logical sense to him, he’ll understand and apologize quickly with 0 strings.
big big BIG on pet names and nicknames. loves overusing “baby” and “babe”
Prompt: The parenting styles of Eleceed’s teenage gang
Characters: Jiwoo, Jisuk, Sucheon, Subin and Wooin
Jiwoo: the teacher parent. He would stress the importance of kindness from the moment they’re able to comprehend words. He would be the most understanding about any mistakes his child makes, talking with them and walking them through how to handle the situation correctly with nothing but patience and positivity. Their parent-child bonding sessions would include volunteering for good causes with various organizations and going around their neighborhood to feed stray cats on a daily basis.
Jisuk: the fun parent. His child would grow up to know all the clever ways of pranking people starting with their Aunt Subin, and the two would always be off on some new adventure: whether it be exploring the outdoors, turning the weekly supermarket trip into a scavenger hunt or learning a new sport together, there's never a shortage of laughs or a dull moment with him as a father.
Sucheon: the mixed bag parent. He doesn’t want his child to have the same sort of abusive upbringing as he did, but it’s been engrained in him since birth, so little bits of his father slip out from time to time - he can’t help it. If the child did poorly or average on a test, his first reaction would be a fastidious one. “I did much better than that when I was your age.” He’d immediately regret his words as soon as he saw their face fall, because they look exactly the same as he did when he was a little boy: hopeful, tentative and scared of being a disappointment. It’s in that moment when Sucheon fears history repeating itself so he slowly begins to adapt a different way of thinking by taking a page from Suman, the one who fathered him more than his real dad. Whenever confronted with a situation where his child is concerned, he would think ‘what would Uncle do?’ Over time, he becomes a more positive parent, but you’ll have to be patient with him to see the transition.
Subin: the confident parent. Feeling comfortable in yourself wouldn't be much of an issue for Subin's child. She'd radiate self-assurance which would reflect well on them. She'd teach them to not look down on others, but to never take crap from anyone if they ever dared tried to look down on the kid. She'd encourage them to try lots of new things, and not to be scared if they aren't good at it right away, because practice makes perfect.
Wooin: the quietly supportive parent. He takes less of a hands-on approach, but he'd always appear unobtrusively at his child's school plays, talent shows and sports games when they assumed he had no idea what they were up to. After a performance or match, he'd be waiting for them with a giant bouquet of daisies in hand or a certificate entitling his kid to an ice cream outing with him as a congratulatory gift.
