Of the TG polyships you like. Do you have any headcanons?
OMG thank you for asking!! i have about four tg polyships that i particularly enjoy, and three out of the four are rareships, ie. ones that i don't really see others talk about much, if at all. they are rizemayukana, seiakirona, mutsaurie, and shiramutsurie. i am going to make this post into multiple parts (will be connected by reblogs) bc of how long it has gotten from just one of the polyships in particular. and, also, i'm having a hard time getting everything out for everyone all at once!! i'll update as i feel the urge to :3 rizemayukana under the cut!! stay tuned for more <3
RizeMayuKana (Rize Kamishiro x Mayu / Nutcracker x Kanae von Rosewald)
i view mayu as being the physically strongest out of the three. my body headcanon for her is that she is a little bit of a muscular woman, not super buff but visibly muscular, especially when flexing. kanae is a little bit stronger than rize, leaving rize as the "weakest" (which she makes up for with usage of her kagune). all of that being said, i think there is a picture out there somewhere of mayu with kanae and rize perched on her hips. in it, rize has her arms wrapped around mayu's neck and her head is back as she's laughing, and kanae's arms are the same but they have their face buried in mayu's neck to hide their beet red cheeks. mayu's got a mischievous/proud smile on her face as she holds them up. it's mayu's favorite picture of the three of them, and she has it as her phone background.
kanae always tries to match a part of their outfit to their girlfriends' when they go out together. it's funny because rize and mayu don't ever match each other, because their styles are so different, but kanae wants to incorporate both of them into their outfit. it's a very sweet, very butch, gesture. they want to make sure those who look at the three of them know what they're all about, that they're together. the matching aspects of kanae's outfits can be as small as a decorative handkerchief in their breast pocket matching the pattern of rize's dress and some cufflinks matching the style of mayu's jewelry, or a full suit matching the most prominent color from rize's outfit, and the most prominent color from mayu's outfit. the way they walk down the street when this happens is a way meant to accentuate how much kanae is the middle ground between rize and mayu's outfits, ie. kanae in the center with rize on one arm and mayu on the other. it flusters kanae a bit, to be in public with two beautiful women on their arms, as it draws attention, but it also fills them with a sense of pride!
their movie nights are rather interesting. they all have pretty contradicting tastes. rize is mostly into thriller/drama, mayu is mostly into horror and kanae is mostly into historical fiction. there's a cycle they go through on movie night. it goes rize's movie first, mayu's movie second, kanae's movie third, and then a movie they all choose together last. sometimes they don't manage to get through all four movies in one night, so one or two have to be pushed to the next night to finish. that's okay, though, any excuse to hang out with each other more is appreciated. the differences in all of their tastes helps the three of them expand their interests, and all of them have gone into a movie they thought they would dislike and then come out on the other side having enjoyed it a lot. i think a movie that is a collective favorite amongst them all is park chan-wook's "the handmaiden," as it mixes all of their favorite genres quite well >:))
in a no ghoul AU, i think that rize owns a bookshop in tokyo with a small flower shop built into it out front. kanae works in the flower shop part time. part time because they also go to university for music (violin) and that takes up a lot of their time. there are a few others who work in the flower shop part time too, but kanae is rize's best employee. they are particularly skiled at caring for the flowers and putting together bouquets. i think that kanae actually nervously asked rize on a date with a bouquet made up of flowers matching rize's favorite colors, and after about three or four dates, they decided to be together. they keep their relationship status very quiet at work because rize doesn't want any of her other employees to think she is picking favorites, and kanae is a very private person when it comes to that stuff anyways due to shyness. mayu owns a tattoo and piercing parlor in tokyo as well. i think her and rize actually met a convention in tokyo meant for women who are business owners. their styles and businesses couldn't have been any more different from one another, but they were drawn to each other anyways. mayu and rize really hit it off at the function, and exchanged business cards with their personal numbers scribbled on the back in pen. they texted with each other a lot over the next several weeks, and rize shared about their partner kanae and how she'd like to introduce mayu to them as well. the same conversation was had with kanae. both of them were down for it. the first meeting of them all together was at a coffee shop (perhaps :re?), and kanae and mayu actually hit it off just as much as rize and mayu had. their second meeting was at mayu's parlor, for rize to get a small floral tattoo on her collarbone and for kanae to get their ears pierced. someone else did rize's tattoo but mayu did kanae's ears, and they got to know each other a bit more through this. this led to their polycule!!
one of my tg polyships is rizemayukana. i don't talk about it much cuz it's a bit niche, but i feel prompted to right now. i just tried to find that polyship meme post where it's two people looking mischievous and wearing shirts that say "our third" and then in between them is someone looking a bit disgruntled or embarrassed, and i couldn't find it, but that's absolutely how i envision this ship. rize and mayu are the ones with the "our third" shirts and kanae is the one in the middle.
i kinda think kanae is their little butch plaything. they love teasing them and getting them worked up and flustered. kanae is a really easy target in this way imo cuz they get super flustered super easily. rize and mayu think it's the cutest thing in the entire world so they do it a lot.
i think mayu does a lot of the housework around her and rize's apartment. she dusts and mops and sweeps. it's something she finds rather relaxing, actually. mayu grew up without a roof over her head, so nowadays she's just grateful to floors and shelves to clean at all.
rize is by no means lazy, but has a distaste for most housework. she loathes all of the misogynistic expectations that had been put on her during her time in the sunlit garden, even as a little girl. she's done everything in her power to subvert those expectations since her escape. she will do housework and when she has to, and she did for many years when she lived alone, but is comfortable with allowing mayu to do a lot of the things she does around the apartment.
rize, however, is the main caretaker of laundry in their abode. this is a chore she's never really minded in the first place, and she especially doesn't mind doing it for another woman, one that she loves at that. rize is very meticulous about separating the fabrics and colors. mayu wasn't at all before, and rize just couldn't stand that with all of the fancy clothing both her and mayu owned.
rize takes on the task of ironing, too. another thing she enjoys that mayu had found useless before. she has gained a new appreciation for the importance of crisp, unwrinkled clothing in a look. all thanks to rize!
neither of them are very tech savvy, though. so, a professional or perhaps even a friend does have to be called to fix problems with their television and other electronics. they don't really mind.
rize makes the bed most every day as well. mayu doesn't particularly understand why, as her thoughts are that it's just going to get messed up again anyways. though, she allows rize to do it regardless. it pleases her, she she sees to reason to disrupt that.
the kitchen is pretty much unused, so it doesn't really require anything other than a light dusting here and there. neither of them are ghouls who care enough to cook the meat of their prey. they do this together, with rize on dusting dishes and mayu on dusting cabinets and the like.
the bathroom is something they also take on together. a deep clean is done every few months or so. it's much more efficient to clean together instead of apart.
i love imagining how they split up their chores :•) i think they both deserve domesticity!
rizemayu for the ask game you reblogged bc i have to spread my Agenda™️
Oh hell yeah propaganda time with The Ultimate Lesbians™️
When I started shipping it:when you proposed it!
My thoughts:I really like them! I quite like how they are similar in the sense that they are both femme fatales who are entirely set on their goals. I do like the contrast between them as though. Whilst Mayu is driven by money and more worldly desires. Rize is more detached from those and lives a more nomadic lifestyle. I feel like their similar backgrounds yet different personalities could create quite an interesting dynamic. Almost like a dying and tan scenario.
What makes me happy about them: The amount of really sweet hcs I could wrote about them!!! I probably will do that at some point as well. I like how they seem to complete each other. Mayu feels dumb a lot of the time and Rize is willing to teach her. Rize can be power hungry and cold and Mayu is emotionally intelligent and understanding. God there's so much potential here.
What makes me sad about them: The fact that they can only over exist in fanfiction :((((((((( Istg Ishida knew they would be too powerful together and was a coward.
Things done in fanfic that annoy me: The lack of it. I'm going insane there isn't anything please god
Things I look for in fanfic: A fanfic would be nice please and thank you 🙏🙏
Who I'd be comfortable with them ending up with if not each other: I have been partial to RizeKane occasionally in the past but other than that I've never really had any Rize ships. This is probably the only Mayu ship I've been proposed so I really am not sure. Maybe it's all a sign they're meant to be together 🤷♀️
My happily ever after: being able to continue with Rize's nomadic lifestyle whilst also being able to find room for Mayu's search for money. Rize spoils her essentially lol.
Who is the big spoon/little spoon: I'd say they probably switch it up depending on who feels they need the most comfort that day. But more often than not Rize's the big spoon.
What is their favourite non-sexual activity: probably just hanging around together. Whether it be at a local cafe or a simple walk in the park, you can usually find them together. Rize also enjoys explaining the book she's currently reading to Mayu and patiently going over any details she feels insecure about not understanding.
I really enjoyed doing this one. I love being able to revisit characters when I do these and my God do I wish we got something. Definition of wrong place wrong time, huh? Please feel free to send me asks I love doing these
