I wasn’t aware that this simple sketchy 4-frames strip required around 4 hours to make ;; even the most simple edhanguero sketch i did last night required 3 hours alone orz i blame mostly Eduan and AA’s hair and salty expressions for that.)
For the date thing, how about hansung and khun? I love your arts ❤️
You guys must be thirsty. Just kidding. Alright, since there will be long points– and probably rambles,,, I’ll answer under the cut! Also @littlestarprincess I will do Hwa Ryun/Endorsi separately c: dear anonymous, littlestarprincess, and @enna-core here’s your answer ;;)
I did say A DATE but for these two I’ll do dating in general. This is actually quite hard for me since I kept getting back to BaKon while typing and this is basically betraying my own ship;;;; but I don’t hate this ship, in fact, I kinda liked it. These HCs apply to AA & Data!Hansung. Some of these HCs might be considered NSFW.
Both would ask Endorsi for dating advices,, but there are times they’re being overreacted and that is driving her nuts, like “Hansung left me on read, what should I do?” “Will Aguero like instant coffee for his birthday??” “Hansung didn’t call me today.. Maybe he wanted to break up?” “How about instant noodles??”
But at times their fights getting out of hand, Endorsi will feel concerned and she would really help them work it out–subtly.
Their first date would be~~ Amusement Park. cliche. BuT- Hansung is the one who initiate this. He met Eduan and he knew the Khun Family as well as their rules–In which AA must be having a terrible childhood. This leads to him wanting to take AA and let him act as free as he wanted, from riding a merry go round to riding a deathly jet coaster. They would try a lot of escape rooms too.
They are both intellectuals with high logic and perceiving skill,, so it wouldn’t be hard for them to take a guess if something is wrong between each other. Though I’m pretty sure they will not hesitate to talk if something is bugging them, no silence treatment required!
Unless of course, things are getting out of control and both are emotionally tired and just done with everything, perhaps silence treatment or alone time will help, and both will appreciate when the other is in need of room.
Playing RPG (any multiplayer game that requires thinking or even riddles, honestly) together, exchanging strategies, and countless arguments about who is right.
(Applies if they live together) They will spend a lot of time shopping– both for clothes and groceries. 30% would be them trying out clothes and telling each other “You looked like an old hag” or “Your butt looks better in this one.” etc etc, 50% of the time would be AA returning all the instant foods and beverages to the aisles. and 20% would be the actual shopping.
(Applies if they live together) Competitions, competitions. “Let’s see who gets there earlier.” “I bet you can’t finish this one.” “You will never beat me on this.” “If you lose, the chores is yours.” etc etc.
(Applies if they live together) Both are morning person(s), (except they had a rough night–and by rough night i meant a tiring and stressful event get your dirty mind outta here) they would have regular morning jogs together and again, competition for who has better stamina, but on days they decide to spend mornings together it would just be soft spoonings and cuddles.
(NSFW..ish?) I’m not sure about this one but heck,, AA is the top this time. He would take initiative– and considering it’s data!hansung he would be so adorable to tease– and AA would definitely take this chance. Or you know they could just be that couple who switches every now and then? Hansung would have the urge to payback the mighty son of Eduan for the sake of seeing him being pinned down and his pale complexion turns pinkish– or simply to hear him making the sounds~
(NSFW) AA would occasionally be static when they were “having fun” and this would lead them to communicate while doing so– “Fuck, Aguero! That’s the sixth time today!” ; “You keep saying that but everytime I did, you just became even tighter.” ; “Fuck you.” ; “I’m on that.”
AA loves to leave marks and so does Hansung :)
Good Hair Day! They are both the kind of person who took their time taking care of their beautiful gorgeously magnificent hair, so,, going to a hair salon once or twice a week is inevitable.
Hansung would 24/7 brag that he didn’t have to straighten his hair every morning. They use different shampoo though, because AA’s hair is very sensitive and requires extra treatment.
Aside from the good-hair-war, Hansung will let AA experiment with his hair, because apparently he wanted to try in a lot of hairstyles, and he trusted AA for that. AA wouldn’t complain. Hansung’s hair is just more than enough for him to play around. (I had this HC with Viole&AA too rip)
Prank War! Gosh this pairing comes with so many wars. (thanks enna-core for the heads up) The first to start the prank would be AA, knowing his habit. Their prank would start with the classic airhorn (because I want Hansung to be a jumpy person), toothpaste in oreos, and the worst payback would be cutting each others’ hair while the other is asleep.
They are terrible cook. Hansung loves instant foods and AA… (idk from SIU’s art in his blog i can tell he’s not very familiar with baking,, I assume it to be the same with cooking. And I thought why don’t make him a bad cook too? hA.) They’re doomed.
AA usually bans Hansung from consuming fast foods– but there’s one time that AA actually tried cooking and Hansung had to be run to a hospital. Since then they ordered takeouts.
They will order takeouts or even go out for dinner. Once or twice they might even invite Bam over to cook for them (Endorsi will tag along), since they both are dying for homemade cooking sometimes.
AA would be the one who pays the most but Hansung insisted them to always share the bill, or even let Hansung pay for both sometimes. “I don’t want that money you earn stealing from your daddy.”
They put emojis after every texts and would not hesitate to send memes. Hansung is better in this one.
Hansung loves AA’s smell– his clothes. He would get inside AA’s wardrobe (he has his own wardrobe fucking fight me.) and will eventually fell asleep in a mountain of scattered clothes. When AA arrives home he would take a lot of pictures until finally picking Hansung up to the bed.
I GUESS THAT’S IT? I mean i bet my brain still have more to tell– I guess there will be enough for now.. I will edit soon once I have more thoughts. Also– if these HCs are not suitable for you– I apologize, but this is my personal thoughts. As for proper art I will post it separately so for now just enjoy the sketches <3
Alright, @lawcollegiette asked me for some head canons on real!Hansung and AA as a ship (because if I ship someone’s data I also ship their real counterpart the same way tbh. Data are just someone’s past selves, basically? So the fundamental person inside still hasn’t changed, and I guess I ship based more on chemistry and potential than on memories or personal moments. . . . .)
So:
Ranker!Hansung and AA’s dynamic is definitely different, with how it stacks up powerplay wise -- and I think there’d definitely be a powerplay aspect to it. There’s a mild powerplay aspect to data!Hansung and AA’s relationship, with AA taking on the older protector role, and Hansung acting petulant about it, but with Ranker!Hansung I think AA is more of the bratty sub who enjoys the thrill of betraying Hansung at unexpected times, and Hansung enjoying the thrill of never knowing when AA’s gonna act against him. . . . but in a romantic context, I feel like maintaining certain boundaries and rules would be important for them.
Basically, as a ship, AA & Ranker!Hansung would be a really cathartic experience for AA -- a way to reenact his betrayal of his sister with the full confidence that Hansung won’t fall apart, that it won’t really act as a betrayal. It’s the kind of relationship that could be deeply personal and very intimate, and AA’s vulnerability would in turn force Hansung to face his own inner demons. Basically, it’s an 8th house relationship (here’s another link that might be more straightforward) all the way.
There would definitely still be prank wars, obviously. That’s still a way for them to match wits and have fun, and both Hansung and AA like matching wits and having fun.
I imagine they’d both have a lot of late nights. I can see AA scolding Hansung about how much coffee he drinks at first, before he realizes that Hansung is (probably) being kept up by the same things that keep AA awake -- fears for the future, regrets about the paths, and an overwhelming sense of being the worst of the worst.
(Anyone who says AA has a healthy sense of self esteem or even confidence, quite frankly, does not understand AA -- his entire narrative arc is about how he covers up his self-loathing by overworking himself and acting cocky. Hansung’s desire to rip that cocky smile off of his face, in turn, might translate into a desire for Hansung to force AA to face his vulnerability and that probably in turn is a way for Hansung to acknowledge that he has the right to be vulnerable and face his own inner demons as well).
Of course, there’s also a lot of baggage between them cause of the stuff that happened in S1, with killing/kidnapping/enslaving Bam and threatening the rest of their friends -- AA would probably be reluctant to get involved with Hansung because of that, and even if he did, Hansung would probably question his judgement -- but we’ll see how things evolve between them in the future. I do think we’ll be seeing more of ranker!Hansung now that data!Hansung has given our protagonists some weird questions.
Because it’s a very 8th house relationship, it would probably end tragically, with Hansung dying or sacrificing himself (which would bring him full circle in regards to his data!self’s concerns about being a narcissist who only plays around with people for fun rather than actually caring about his friends, which are concerns I imagine ranker!Hansung has been diligently burying for a while now), and passing on certain life lessons to AA, who would become stronger and more self assured in the end. data!Hansung and data!AA can probably live happily in peace though.
Also because of the strong 8th house energies involved, I imagine their relationship would reach a solid “start” sometime in late October/early November or the equivalent, as that’s during a sun in scorpio period.
This remains a question.Well in all honesty, I think I might. In fact, why not?.But considering the thought that AA resented Hansung because he dragged Bam into FUG and made Viole out of him, it will be a little bit hard (and then it goes to phase one where bam means the world to him jdjfjdjdjdjdjjsjf noo)...Scratch that. They will still have the dynamic nonetheless so yeah! I will still ship them. (I don’t think age matters too in the tower so yeah again)
