Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch

Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch:a mental health/neurodivergent headcanon.

Haruto’s… hard to classify in regards to mental health. The most one can say for him, quite truthfully, is a severe case of PTSD topped by immense survivor’s guilt. In-series, he’s shown to suffer some degree of flashbacks to traumatic events in his life, particularly his parents’ deaths. In fact, they serve as a huge source of motivation for the work he does as a wizard. The same can be said for his survivor’s guilt, as the sense of loss he’s felt and the lack of understanding as to why he lives and everyone else around him tends to suffer pushes him to try to “make up for” that which he feels he owes the deceased. It’s a rather common thing with people who have survivor’s guilt, if my memory serves? 

Overall, Hive City hasn’t done much better for that. All it’s done is forced Haruto to fall even further in his feelings of worthlessness and his desire to try and make up for the people he’s “failed to save”. Helping Vergil out with his problems has helped out a lot with this, but he’s starting to fall back down. Only time will tell if he can find enough support before he falls too far.

♦ + NK?

Send me a ‘♦ + character name’ to know about their relationship with that character in Hive City.

This is a tricky one to answer…In many ways, Haruto has an antagonistic relationship with Nightmare Knight. He knows that NK was the individual who started the entire invasion on Hive City, therefore giving Darius the chance to basically enact his war that decimated half the city’s population. Thus, he’s a little on-edge around Nightmare Knight at the moment. …With that said, he has noticed Lucina’s behavior around the infamous being, and is rightfully curious. If Nightmare Knight is supposed to be some sort of “figure of all evil”, then why is Lucina, one of the most heroic (stop denying it, girl) figures in the Hive, so friendly with him? It tempts Haruto to go up and speak to the guy—which is actually what I’m doing on a thread with Nightmare Knight right now! As a bit of a peek into how Haruto’d treat him upon seeing his personality in action, Haruto might end up having…flashbacks, of a sort. Cause… y’see…back in Wizard, there was a Phantom who spoke of still retaining his humanity after giving into despair and becoming a monster. And Haruto, being Haruto, decided he wanted to at least try and help this guy out, not wanting to leave anyone behind. Only for the Phantom to basically stab Haruto in the back and brutally murder one of his closest friends in cold blood. So, with Nightmare Knight, he’s going to be questioning whether or not he’s making the same mistake if he decides to become friendly with the big guy.

♠ ♣

♠: What’s one thing you dislike about your Muse?

He has a stubborn habit of never allowing others to see the hurt he’s going through. Seriously, when it comes to himself, he really doesn’t like opening up. Because of that, he ends up being a bit of a hypocrite in his whole “moving on and believing in hope” thing. He helps so many other people cope, but he never takes the time to cope with his own issues. Just… shrugs it off with the idea that his problems are nothing compared to everyone else’s. It actually gets a little frustrating to write out, sometimes. 

♣: One thing you love about your Muse.

Despite all the crap he’s been through, he’s still pushing on. If you ever watch Wizard, I think you’ll agree with me that Haruto’s life has a tendency to go horribly wrong, slowly fix itself, then suddenly go south again. Rinse, lather, repeat. And yet he still keeps going, determined to somehow find a use out of his days on this Earth. I wish he’d devote some of that determination to his own well-being, but his willpower alone is pretty impressive.

What is the one question people most commonly ask your muse?

ASK HARD QUESTIONS

Usually, it involves his taste in donuts. Most people tend to be strangely curious about why he’s so fond of plain sugar. To which he states that he “likes the sweet taste of them”. Really, it’s because he finds that other added ingredients tend to ruin the sweet flavor that sugar itself has. Haruto has a strong fondness for sugar itself, to be honest—you’ll notice him usually adding a ton of it to his drinks and so on. Guy’s got a sweet tooth on him like a six-year-old. You really wouldn’t expect it, to be honest.

Haruto looks at Kouta almost like a little brother, due to his energetic and overall purehearted way of doing things. He’ll usually call him kouhai in a playful sort of manner, and will probably pick with him sometimes. Usually about his Rider powers being themed around fruit. 

"Orange-chan" will never die. Never.

Hands

[hands]:are they large or small, do they have pianist’s fingers or short stubby ones, do they tend to get sweaty or are they always dry, is the skin rough or delicate, are the nails painted or chewed or sharp, etc.

Haruto’s hands are surprisingly smooth, if one sits down to feel them. They’re about average size, and are more or less what’d you expect to find on a regular guy passing by on the street. I’d say he tends to have slightly longer fingers than most (have you seen those rings), but nothing really spectacular. He really doesn’t suffer much from sweaty hands, either. 

Overall, his hands could be described as somewhat delicate—at least, more than you would expect for a young man his age. He takes fairly good care of them, and the nails are left unpainted and kept properly groomed.

3, 4

3. What is one of your character’s strengths in combat?

His ability to quickly plan and formulate a strategy based on the situation. Quite a few times in Wizard, Haruto ends up being the “plan guy”, who comes up with the method of attack and manner in which they’ll tackle the Phantom of the week. He’s surprisingly crafty, and will use his magic to its best effect. 

4. What is one of your character’s weaknesses in combat?

He needs to swap rings in the middle of a fight in order to use different spells. While it doesn’t sound that troublesome, it was a pain in his first few months as a magic-user. Hard to change accesories when a Phantom is trying to murder you, y’know.

Battle ON! 1, 8, and 10? Puh-leeeeze~

1. What fighting style does your character employ?

Confusion-Fu, ho! 

Haruto tends to reply quite a bit on diversity and adaptability in his fighting style. While his acrobatics and ability to flip around the battlefield with ease is indeed a key part of his technique, his magic is what really carries him in combat. The unpredictable nature of it makes it hard to plan against, and, when combined with his regular tactics, most opponents get taken out before they can figure out what he’s going to do next. 

8. How likely is your character to engage in combat on their own?

Extremely. Haruto is a Kamen Rider, after all. They’re used to going on solo most of the time. Not to mention, Haruto’s worked solo for several months—half a year when we see him in the first episode of Wizard, if my memory holds up. 

10. What is the worst combat injury your character could imagine having?

Already answered!
