I've been discussing about the AU with a follower and honestly something real cool could come out of this, with backstories and shit,, i basically just started this AU bc I wanted to draw the meka dan kids in u.a uniform i don't really know how to do any of that lmao ;v;
Oh, this drawing was inspired by this coment on my first bnha!au post!
what your favorite kage character would tell me about you
ayano: she pretty much transcends favorite character status and becomes more of a religious figure or an organ to you. either way she will never leave you you are her she is you
kido: you are transgender
seto: you make people feel dumb not in a mean way you're just on another level of character analysis
kano: youre either super annoying or very smart. no in between. also ur gay
mary: u get so poetic with it bro. potentionally annoying, potentionally life changing conversations.
momo: honestly an entirely solid favorite. nothing but respect from me, THE correct favorite.
shintaro: you love to hate him. cuteness aggression is intense etc etc. unlike ayano fans you don't strike me as 100% suicidal. but you are aren't you :/ and you're trans
takane: you're now my personal best friend unless you insist takane and ene are different people in which case you are dead because i killed you
hibiya: im mostly curious as to why would you pick him if hiyori's right there but, yeah, sure. i do respect the passion of liking a character who is so second favorite core
haruka: it gets so tiring doesn't it. chin up... they need us
konoha: you made up a character in ur mind and got attached. which is fine im sure its a cool character. but we need more haruka
hiyori: u are automatically cool i dont gaf. momo's the correct favorite but hiyori's the Coolest favorite. like u truly do just. Get it.
in my kagefuture verse ayano is a niche true crime sensation btw
i always think of an immediate scenario of mekadan defeating saeru, and them being just there in the evil underground lab with half of everyone beat up and kenjirou either dead or dead And gone to the daze. like ok what now gang
it WOULD be in character for them to just get up and Leave LMAO, but because of haruka specifically, they'd end up getting authorities involved to take him to the hospital. also everyone's hurt from saeru gut punching them across the room š
i think shintaro and momo's mom is called too and she's like What. <- a day ago shintaro was still a shut in now he's here with momo and 10 other people and he was involved in both a terrorist attack and an apparent abduction by a crazy teacher. in 1 day. in that subject, haruka and takane's dad/grandma also reunite with them immediately Yayyy
i think kenjirou's name takes the fault socially and legally. so it's like crazy dad/teacher!! kidnaps students, fakes daughter's death!!! crazy underground laboratory under school!!! i think mekatrio and specifically ayano are So against this story and ayano who is The most cited because legally SHE WAS DEAD AND BURIED, keeps telling cops like NO he was my DAD HE WOULDVE NEVER HURT ME!!! and everyone's like this poor girl......... lol. i think ayano is taken care of by a social worker and i think that inspires her to become one Yayyyyy
so ayano's framed as the girl who came back from the dead. the story does not go big, authorities sweep as much as possible under the rug because there was a lot of corruption involved so most of the details go uncovered and because of that mekadan or rather ayano, haruka and takane are left alone Very quickly.
not only bc it's convenient for the authorities but bc mekadan aka The Victims reject all kinds of public statements or whatever the hell. i think momo's involvement is what makes this complicated but i think she'd get away with saying her brother was more involved, she doesn't know anything.... also with kido's concealing eyes it also helps.
cuz of this they just like, keep the money saeru stole/scammed out of people LOL. i think ayano and seto are like g- guys... this is dishonest... we should donate it or take it to the bank ā¤ļø and kido and kano are like You are never seeing the key of the safe. Ever.
tateyama kids + harutaka get money split between them š mostly tateyamas i think haruka and takane get a bit bc ayano's like omfg it's only fair........ originally this was gonna be a text post about what everyone does with this money but. ill make another post right after this one because šš
if anything it's a story that is kept alive between students at the school. did you know they uncovered a secret underground lab here. yeah where one of the teachers kept his daughter and students...
anyways ayano gets her legal identity taken care of, her grave is gone and to kagefuture days, she will get emails from a true crime enthusiast asking her to come on their podcast. yay!
whats your hc for the mekadan's music taste and also their preferred way of listening to it?
im so convinced shintaro would be such an indie head. the kind of guy whos like "yeah man im a huge fan of this up and coming [insert genre here] band" and then you check them out and theyve got like a single EP and 14 monthly spotify listeners. bro has a giant physical collection and swears up and down that the audio quality is superior and the rest of the mekadan is like. alright sure man (<- can NOT hear a difference). meanwhile ene sneaks random ass songs onto his spotify playlists just to fuck with him
also other, tangentially related question, whos banned from getting the aux cord on road trips
you are absolutely right
ok im not a music person like i love music don't get me wrong but i am soooo bad at genres and Worse at names of bands or singers. my playlists are all misc songs i like. im very bad i but ill do my best LOL ill have to be a describer of vibes + mentions of jins comments from over the years
ayano: i imagine her into 80s-90s classics and city pop. karaoke go to song is stay with me but she always runs out of breath and someone (kano) has to help her finish it. otherwise she probably likes a bunch of anime openings too and whatever bands kenjirou or ayaka listened to lmao
i think she plays it in the background while she cleans or does stuff. otherwise she's a big podcast listener. definitely annoying person who needs to be introduced to the concept of headphones. as a good non headphone listener, she sings a lot over her music
kido: ok kido is easy bc we have canon fave musicians. oasis, radiohead and shugo tokumaru. so alt/indie rock LMAO it's very easy to imagine a playlist by kido. probably would not be of my personal taste (ive listened to all these JUST FOR kido in the past and i was like omg they'd hate me...)
i have to say WHILE i agree with your shin headcanons and ill get to that, kido is THE indie head. kido is largely pretentious about their music tastes and while it gets better with age (as in not as cringe) kagefuture kido is probably still like (to themselves) fucking posers....
kido listens to music all the time. earbuds. constantly! btw bass player kido anyone.... my precious kidoshin bonding moments shintaro teaches kido to play bass. also i think kido is decent at english because they're interested in song lyrics. they def write song lyrics to themselves. seriously we gotta get on the band aus mekatrio alt rock and pop duo kisaragis seriously im telling you Im telling you *grabs ur arm* hey im telling you
jin had said before kido is a GOOD singer which checks out and would sing mika nakashima songs in karaoke. hello? this fucking lesbian kido kido kido KIDO KIDO KIDO
seto: i think seto justs clicks random playlists for working out or whatever and listens to that. i don't think he's a music person even tho he listens to it a lot to drain out thoughts ofc...
i think maybe he likes some songs he's heard from kido and could be like whats that song you like that goes lalala and kido's like Im gonna need more details. i think he likes chill music and some of kido's music is very chill. he listens with earbuds, def noise canceling ones as the Technology gets there. mainly while he is out and about in public spaces. jin said in karaoke he'd sing bump of chicken which is really sweet and fitting i think
kano: i'd normally hc kano as liking indie emo sad boy music but kido already takes that up and it's funny to see them arguing and also it's important to remember kano IS a bubbly funny little guy. as an act maybe but a core part of him is genuinely a goofster. girls just wanna have fu-un...
so, i think kano listens to all the pop queens. including momo. even after momo quits being an idol he still listens to her music. obviously momo was everywhere 'cause drawing eyes but kano being the one to specifically know of her and him being so into teen magazines and shit lmao kano LOVES celebrity gossip.
jin has said kano would sing momo's songs in karaoke. duh! oh and i think like ayano he listens with no earbuds and sings and annoys everyone.
mary: she's definitely difficult, i think honestly same as kano? i think she would start getting really into idols after meeting momo. mary is tone deaf (jin fact) (funny considering her VA is a singer) but i hc she always gives it her all in karaoke and tries singing momo songs. i think mary, like seto, listens more passively and then she's frustrated she can't find what she listened to bc she just clicked a random playlist/straight up she just uses a radio and later can't remember the name of something she enjoyed
momo: kyaaaa. momo DOES NOT listen to idol or pop music. momo listens to shit like neros day at disneyland. definitely loves maretu. so like, electronic music and metal ig? (personally i love maretu but some songs are too intense for me. those are probably her favorite lol) i think momo likes listening to dj mixing or whatever it's called. no headphones
takane: another music head but i think she stands at a different rock taste than kido. i think takane's more into punk/garage rock and heavy metal. i think takane's into local bands too, since in canon she mentions going to see a band play at her hs even before she even went to school there so i imagine it was some small show and she's into that. of course. loves headphones. the louder the better
shintaro: ok what you said. the difference with kido is that shintaro is a VOCALOID PRODUCER indie head. he is SOOOOO annoying. you know damn well he's nitpicking voice tuning to hell and back he could talk about it for hours. i think he's very in the know of voca producers and music, special interest mode.
he listens to music in a way we couldn't comprehend it maybe kido could or any music obsessers reading, def not me. he loves that shit. he's def into vocaloid song series. ahahah. ohoho. ehehe. i think he listens to pretty much any genre as long as its vocaloid
he listens with HEADPHONES š and kagefuture mode the car is his karaoke time. he has my favorite karaoke fact by jin which is his best song in the karaoke machine is hot limit by tm revolution LMAOOO dude he puts everything into it huh.
hibiya: i always struggle with hibiya headcanons im gonna be so honest. i dont even know. he didn't even know of momo so like what did you even listen to. no radio? no paying attention at background music at stores or whatever? jin really said middle of fucking nowhere he doesn't even get MUSIC.
what i can say is he'd definitely pretend to like popular boy bands hiyori likes just to seem cool but he ends up coming off as gay great job hibiya. jin says he'd sing AKB48 in karaoke which is awesome but id think it's bc its something hiyori likes rather something he likes. i have to say great job jin at writing a male character who is no one without the female character making him interesting Hibiya lovers dont come for me i love him too okay.
hiyori: any famous boy band she loves. she's into idols just canon. obsessed with bts her bias issss idk. namjoon is the cutest to me but maybe she's into jungkook #typical she loves singing and karaoke def sings AKB48 right after hibiya and does a better job.
haruka: definitely also into vocaloid. not in a Musical Sense way like shintaro... shintaro will be like did you see what they did with this arrangement 𤯠and haruka's like ??? sure. i also think he's into fan songs for media he likes. he would love the fnaf fan songs bro. but i also think he likes popular music and definitely enjoys momo's music. also headphones wearer he's Respectful š i think hes into pop rock
mekadan Gender and sexualities headcanons. i made a post like this a few years ago but hereās an updated version given new thoughts specifically based on that thing i talk about sometimes, you know, that darn kagefuture comic iāve been writing?
under the cut. i get specific with it. i get weird with it. iām gonna need you to try and be weird with it too if you read this. itās very Playing with toys writtenly. because theyāre fictional characters. i say a lot of stuff very affirmatively but always take it as āmy opinionā āi hcā āi thinkā lol.
iāll go mekadan order
patient zero ayano-chan: funnily enough, i was strictly on the trans girl ayano headcanon for YEARS and then i wrote first kagefuture comic, and a literal thought i had was, ayanito you will be cis for this one comic, ākay? which is fine because iām not writing any more. <- foolish. funny too bc i had my shinaya fankid ayame BEFORE writing kagefuture and i kept being like yeah sheās born through um. science baby idk. idk how to explain her existence. ayano gets shintaro pregnant or something. but no now sheās cis
the way iāve been writing her generally is also very cis girl i think. she has so many social convictions of how things Should be. not that trans people canāt fall into these social norms and maybe even play into them because gender is. a complicated thing to navigate. but ayano specifically i feel i write her in a way she takes some things for granted. thereās something else about my change of hc but iāll talk about it when i get to kano
for sexuality, i think ayano never questions it. i think she would self identify as straight if asked. between us in my kagepro blog, sheās not. sheās not straight. i think her first kiss was takane in hs she was insisting to practice making out like come onnn it doesnāt count weāre girls lolll. IT SOOO COUNTED. sheās bi or pan. honestly? sheās SO demi. no she doesnāt know what it means
kido: looks up into the sky. kidoās so blatantly trans. theyāre nonbinary to me. i think theyād be interested in starting T but from what iāve read HRT is sooo. difficult in japan. definitely not impossible but boy itās so difficult. and VERY expensive.
if what i read is correct, youāre required to have top AND bottom surgery in order to change your gender legally and get access to hrt. which sounds very contradictory too i read some stuff and again itās definitely not impossible and a lot of people are on hrt consistently. insurance covers nearly Nothing so itās expensive as hell. so hand in hand with my Financial headcanons, i donāt think kidoās doing hrt. also kido isnāt transmasc, theyāre nonbinary, so they arenāt into some of the changes that come with being on t. so while they do consider it a lot, i donāt think theyād go through all this bureaucratic process over something they arenāt sure about. so i donāt think theyād go on t. at least not current kagefuture moments (kidoās young, theyāre only 27 lel)
i DO think theyāre saving up crazy style to get top surgery. itās possible to get in japan but a lot of trans ppl go to thailand for it because itās cheaper, even with flight costs. i think momo offers to pay for it constantly, but kidoās adamant they will pay for it on their own. momo totally wants to get married in thailand too. japan L again. but that also is sooo complex like Oof. these 2 wonāt be married for a while
kidoās a lesbian. yay. i think maybe demi as well but i donāt think theyād know or care about that label. kido totally identifies as a lesbian, i think theyāve known forever. i donāt think mekatrio ever felt the need to come out, they all just sort of. knew. and i think they come out as nb early post str.
seto: heās the big buff butch he/him lesbian of everyoneās dreams, okā¦? and he has has pcos. heās a girl. i donāt have much to say about him, thatās mostly it. again, doesnāt come out. mostly just has to clarify he's a girl if asked. every woman he's ever worked with falls a little bit in love with him
kano: oof do i have stuff to say. because something similar happened to my hcs for him as it did for ayano. kagefuture simply happened. i also used to hc kano as a trans boy. and much like with ayano i changed my mind. hereās the thing. shintaro shipping.
IT SUCKS. IT SUCKS IT DOES AND I AM SORRY BUT basically. writing kagefuture, i.e writing shinaya and kanoshin, if ayanoās a trans girl and kanoās a trans boy⦠then shintaroās whole thing CHANGES. these are deeply intertwined with my shintaro headcanons. but casually homophobe/transphobe shintaro is real. shintaro isnāt woke... (wasn't. he's ok kagefuturely speaking) iāll get to it when i get to shintaro but basically
if kano is a trans boy, shintaro's whole gay thing is Way more complicated. shintaro's homophobia thing becomes shintaro's transphobia thing. if shintaro dated a trans boy heād be like meh this isnāt actually gay. this isnāt actually a boy. BECAUSE HE'S SHINTARO. so it sucks to say it like this, but i did change my mind through this because it WAS to simplify the writing.
bc i wanted to focus on other stuff. that is genuinely it. i wouldnāt be able to say oh and kanoās trans and then never address it! who am i jkr. if kano was trans it would definitely affect the dynamic of his relationship with shintaro. same with trans girl ayano. if ayano was a trans girl shintaro probably wouldnāt have dated her back then, at least not as soon as he does. i promise iāll be nicer to shintaro when i get to him itās just. yeah.
and now its been so long and im SO invested in this kagefuture universe. that iāve gotten more used to cis kano and ayano! both kano and ayano ended up being cis because of stupid shintaro LMAO. ayano also because baby craze she wants to be pregnant so bad. god but trans girl ayano desiring pregnancy too would be so good as well. that would be a different angsty comic though. also im not saying shinaya/kanoshin wouldnāt happen if kano and ayano were trans, it would just happen differently than how iāve been writing it in the comics
anyways back to kano. calling him cis feels a little off too bc heās. oh i definitely think heās genderfluid. i donāt think kano thinks very hard about it, he tries to avoid thinking of his emotions if possible, but i do think the whole going to school as ayano thing woke up some stuff in him. lol. also living with kido + seto + mary + ayano heās always like are you guysā period synced up or something youāre being so annoying lolll!!! and they all beat him up. yay
also heās gay. the ONLY mekadan character i hc as strictly liking men. L after L after L with this guy! also aroace. 'cause yeah. i have thoughts.
mary: she has NO idea. who the fuck knows. everyoneās asking. she has no answer. sheās still thinking about it. call her āsheā though ācause she doesnāt mind, so, sure! i think sheās aroace, but she wouldnāt know what that is. either way she doesnāt like thinking much about it. sheās aware seto loves her in a way she thinks she canāt reciprocate. she feels guilty about it, because she would love to love him. little does she know thatās a perfectly valid way to love tooā¦
she mostly explores her sexuality through doujinshi. let her live her fujo dream sheās right where she wants to be and donāt ask complicated questions. i think⦠she should himejoshi it up a little bit. it would maybe answer some questions⦠aroace lesbian mary.
momo: iāve gone back and forth with my momo gender hcs too. i think iāve landed on cis again because thinking again of how difficult and expensive HRT is in japan and her mom was struggling financially. and like she was a child star practically, she became famous very young, when would she have transitioned? it wouldāve had to be very young.
trans children can barely get treatment as is in a country with laws about this (my country has them and i work with kids. itās. a whole thing.) SO. thatās why iāve landed on cis but i do like trans girl momo too⦠but in that world, i sort of imagine a kagepro where momoās a āboyā for its run and transitions post str. i cant imagine her transitioning in current time because sheās famous, and not any younger either, y'know?
anyways. sheās a lesbian. but good old kisaragi way, it takes her a while to figure it out. i think post str she tries dating a little but itās difficult bc again. famous!!! i think she went out with boys if she did go out, and kidomomoly speaking i think momo convinces herself the crush on kido was bc kidoās āboyishā and also Mekadan Leader so Very Cool!!! but no, i think sheād have her realization moment of being a lesbian. maybe she goes on a few dates with girls after. kidoās her first non boy (or girl lol) partner. but also kind of her first real partner. i picture momo as going on a bunch of dates but not ever getting in a relationship. if she does, itās online dating with long distance heh
takane: nonbinary. bi. takane is nonbinary and nonhuman. is it called otherkin? iām kinda clueless on that one. from my understanding otherkin is identifying as an animal though right. i donāt think takane identifies as an animal. I think she just feels nonhuman so thatās what iām calling it.
takaneās one of our chronically online winners so i think sheād be WAY more aware of specifics and be able to put labels on things. if she lived in an english speaking place sheād fuck with they/them, it/its pronouns and neos. i doubt she bothers explaining any of this to the dan because no one really gets it, probably only haruka but then again they are in the same online spaces reading the same things, so haruka gets it. otherwise she just goes by she/her and doesn't really wanna explain anything to anyone. i don't think she has gender dysphoria i think she has I Hate Body Generally dysmorphia. also she's ace. also hypersexual. no i wont get into that territory here but just know that.
shintaro: cis. bi. local homophobe. cracks knuckles.
my momo headcanons either way align with her growing up raised as the gender she was assigned, so even if she transitions later on, shintaro still grew up unaware of trans people. heās never thought of that in his life. until he meets mekadan.Ā
heās the type of guy whoās like iām like, totally fine with the gays⦠but uses gay as an insult. he thinks lesbians are hoooot and kind of a joke, and thinks gay men are all Sassy and Will try to "turn" you!!! "why do gay people wanna get married so bad lol they can still get partnership certificates which is the same thing! lololol"
oh and he doesnāt get the gender stuff At All. he can barely wrap his head around kidoās whole thing when they come out post str. he sort of makes sense of it thinking kido is a trans boy. ayano and takane keep explaining being nonbinary to him. but even with him thinking kidoās a boy heās like uh⦠i GUESS thatās fine itās none of my business⦠why would he wanna be a boy though he was such a pretty girl. but still mostly to himself or to yuukei quartet. again shintaroās not a piece of shit also he minds his business heās not out there telling kido all that lol
and he assumed for years seto was a boy. resets upon resets upon resets, seto was a boy. bazillion resets later, post str shintaroās finding out setoās always been a girl?? precious. beautiful, even. but as time goes on shintaroās attitude also settles with getting used to all of it. i think as an older adult (kagefuture moments) he cringes thinking back to the things heād think about kido or haruka (oh iāll get to her.)
i think the way shintaro finally truly wraps his head around all of it, it's him just not caring and being like āpeople should always do whatever they want and i shouldnāt have to Get it because itās not about Me. even if i donāt get it iāll just call people what they ask me to call themā <- which is why trans kano or ayano would be. yāknow more complicated. i think his feelings about it all should be a little deeper than just āmeh i donāt HAVE to get it, i donāt careā if his partner is trans.
and his sexuality. man that sent him spiraling in the first place so imagine confusing him with making them trans too⦠dating ayano first, then kano. the gay panic is reversed. heād think heās gay for dating trans girl ayano and think heās back to being straight if dating trans boy kano. BECAUSE HEāS SHINTARO!!!!!!! so. yep.
anywaysss bisexuality. shintaro realizing heās bi is very kanoshin pilled on its own. i think post shinaya breakup shintaroās on this Ruining all his relationships and personal life Arc. in between the unlucky contestants for this is kano who is INSANELY angry at shintaro because of shinaya breakup. i think shintaro and ayanoās breakup is a whole event. it makes everyone awkward, shintaroās dying to get ayano back, ayanoās SUPER UPSET OF COURSE. so kanoās mad at shintaro. duh. so kanoās provoking shintaro and arguing with him like, constantly. and yeah so he kisses him a little. angrily. and it makes shintaro do the am i gay quizzes online.
shintaroās redemption arc/self acceptance happens slowly, through the years. as he grows older he makes peace with okay yeah sure. i guess i like guys too. iāll watch gay porn. iām so woke <- very simplified because that does take years. actively approaching kano all that time later when theyāre both way more normal (evidently not normal enough. stares at 700 pages comic) is a result of it too. but even being with kano heās still a little stupid about it. heās like sorry bottoming is way gayer. kanoās like ITāS GAY EITHER WAY MORON. and shintaroās like no i donāt think so. youāre gayer than me because i also like girls. kanoās like IF WE BOTH LIKE DUDES WEāRE JUST AS GAY. shintaroās like mmm no i donāt think so, no⦠continue growing shintaro. i believe in you. also he's aro. shint-aro. i have a whole post abt the shint-aro agenda
hibiya: easy one. cis. straight. the only one *wipes tear* i talked about him in an ask i got but iāll talk about it Again.
village boy with a very traditional family ends up in a very queer friend group. i think hibiya goes through an Am I Gay situation but because he thinks itās CONTAGIOUS. he can more easily understand trans people because hiyoriās trans so as soon as sheās like āwhile weāre in kashiwa, iāll be a girlā hibiyaās like YES. OKAY. ALRIGHT. he doesnāt question it. it fast forwards what takes shintaro years to learn. heās a bit confused over kido again defaults them to trans boy, but over the years also comes to understand.
now. he thinks lesbians donāt exist and being a gay guy is like, the biggest insult to the world. worldās most homophobic 12 year old. to be fair i hc his dad as the worst possible person u can imagine. i think hibiya calls kano a slur without realizing itās a slur. just what his dad says at home watching tv yknow⦠mekadan floored. then they all lose their minds laughing. then momo hits hibiya on the head and says DONT CALL HIM THAT.
hibiya generally disliking kano because erm he was the cat. i think kano tells him and hiyori he was the cat. so hibiya DOES think less of kano and heās like AND heās fag?? he sucks. but hibiyaās 12 he grows and becomes woke itāll be fine. i think older hibiya would maybe apologize to kano and kanoās like i literally didnāt even care lol i didnāt take it that seriously. and hibiyaās like u should care actually itās messed up and u SHOULD take it seriously. and kanoās a little moved but they donāt hug or anything. they arenāt close like that. i think kano simply smiles and tells him heās a nice boy.
haruka: TRANFEM HARUKA EEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE TRANSFEM HARUKA!! iāll be using both she/he here okay.
i think if haruka were to transition itād happen kagefuture times. not any younger. she discovers girlhood as a 30 year old. itās beautiful⦠i think before that itās usually all jokes and games bc heās so girly haha and heās dressing so girly too!! and⦠ohhh⦠heās growing his hair out it feels nice⦠i think harukaās just so self conscious i think it takes her a long time to truly like. have a serious conversation about it iām sure with takane like erm itās kind of not a joke sometimes. itās kind of serious style sometimes. takane probably clocked it YEARS AGO. insert my comic of haruka being like i love my long hair it makes me feel like a girl š she says shit like that so ofc takaneās like UH-HUH. but she just reassures her :3 yaaaay. yaaay!!!
iām also inclined to say abt my harutaka fankid, maybe he just calls them both by their names rather than mom/dad. or mom/mom. it was making me cringe a little imagining haruka and takane being called mom and dad. not like with shinaya i totally Nod like yeah mom and dad with my shinaya kid. also asexual haruka. again. won't get into that but. i have thoughts
hiyori: trans girl! aromantic!!! hiyoriās straight up completely uninterested in dating or romance. she doesnāt GAF!!!!!!!!!!! iāve tried to make sense of the konoha crush i just donāt care for it. i simply donāt. harukaās pretty she just can recognize it itās fine. comphet. and many such cases
now. sheās trans. and she goes FULLY GIRL for the weekend in kashiwa. that's how she comes out to hibiya. she tells him sheās hiyori now, as long as they're in kashiwa. then boom 10 year timeloop. tbh. sheās been a girl for 10 years by the time she gets home and has to get back to Boy Life. hiyoriās generally miserable because her parents for sure suck i mean ayaka RAN AWAY. but especially because she's in the closet!! so she does everything in her power to be able to leave the village for highschool. by then ayanoās doing her social work studies i think ayano helps her out SO MUCH with being able to go to school as a girl, but she's still not out to her parents. i think hiyori having long hair is her biggest problem back at home her parents are on her ASS about it.
when she graduates she stays in kashiwa for college. parents still send her money. hiyori drop out era because sheās AWESOME. parents DONāT KNOW she dropped out from college lmao also she was majoring in something they didnāt even want her to major in, they insisted on business school so she could take over the company but she fought them ātil the end. then drops out anyway LMAO and all the money they send her for college stuff, she spends on HRT. YAAAAAAAY. hiyori gets the most expensive hrt and consistently does monotherapy. she hasnāt gone back home in uh. VERY VERY LONG. sheād never say it out loud but sheās terrified of going back and facing her parents.
because iām a little obsessed with kano and hiyori being co-workers and unlikely friends. a oneshot fanfic iām workshopping in my mind [set kagefuture moments] is kind of hiyori hitting rock bottom on this and asking kano [AGAINST HER BETTER JUDGEMENT AND GRITTED TEETH] if he could pretend to be Boy Her Thatās Totally Going To College and go see her parents. i.e his grandparents heās never met, technically. it would of course escalate into an argument, because kano would literally just laugh. and tell her she canāt run away from this forever (also deceiving eyes explanations, he technically/maybe wouldnāt be able to do that bc heās never met her as a boy.)
