I think my fashion headcanons peaked at assigning Gakushuu as the "turtleneck guy".

And I don't regret it one bit.

What's this I hear about the Asanos actually being brothers and pretending to be father and son? If you've got some interesting ideas, spill 'em! (I can already sense the angst)

oh god what have I sparked now

I actually didn't think too much about it, I just found it a "haha funny" what if scenario.

But now that you mention it, I find it an interesting concept to explore tbh.

How they got into this mess is the question. And also if Gakushuu is aware of that or not. For the sake of angst, let's make him not be aware of it. :)

If we go by what is most likely canon, I can see that the parents had died not long after Shuu was born so Gakuhou would take him in since back then he still wasn't like his current self. They pretty much behaved like father and son, although he wanted to disclose their actual relations when he was old enough. And of course the day never really came as he broke down at that point. After that it didn't really matter to him.

Another story possibility is that he actually took him in when he broke down. He wanted to have someone he can personally teach to become strong and ofc his younger brother was the perfect candidate for that. His parents were quite old at that point and, unaware of his intentions, let him take care of him. Then he manipulated him so much to the point that he believed his actual mother died. The lack of pictures could be explained by Gakuhou's coldness and rationality after breaking down, so Shuu didn't question if further.

Funnily enough, that would make that one scene where the principal mentions the baldness on Gakushuu's mother's side all the more hilarious. He practically dissed himself too, but ofc Gakushuu wouldn't know that.

Also, I believe it would make their uncanny resemblence make more sense since they share both parents and are likely to end up looking a lot similar.

--

Going a bit out of canon possibilities, I could apply this to my fan interpretation as well. I made the Asano family be like a giant cult and Gakuhou someone who managed to escape. Through an accident, he would be able to save his brother as well. To cover up this up, he would lie that this is his son and not rise suspicion.

That's basically all I have for now, if you want more or want to add-on feel free to do so!

B5 fashion headcanons

When you are so invested in one headcanon that you have to share it with the other characters.

A continuation of this post, but now featuring all of the Big Five!

Gakushuu - Besides the turtleneck hc, he is also one that leans heavily to the business casual style. He doesn't like how his dad is so uptight and traditional with his clothing style, so this one is the best choice considering his future career. Lots of neutrals, no jewellry and all the materials HAVE TO BE SOFT. He has very delicate skin, kay?

He does like to wear beanies tho. You can consider Seo being the one that gets him some cool ones and he actually likes them, what a surprise!

Araki - The grandpa (tm). Like, I can't shake the fact that he is the epitome of vintage fashion. He seeks every opportunity to wear some kind of formal clothing. Very oldschool, most likely wears some pristine hand-me-downs. Also, suspenders!! That fits like a glove to his looks.

If he doesn't wear anything formal, then he is the sweater guy. Has them in all different patterns, most of them are classified as "ugly" by Seo tho and gets a shoe in his face as a result lol. Also, most likely to wear a top hat to a function.

Seo - The guy that tries too hard to act "street". Hoodies, baggy pants, chains and beanies - all from those really exoensive brand stores that just slap their name on and sell it at 500$. Lots of clashin colours too - ever heard of checkerd pants with a neon green shirt? Thats him. Also, I can see him colouring his hair, at least in highlights with those crazy combos as well. Basically, chaos incarnate. The shoes are the most important part tho, most likely collects them too.

Ren - This guy has given me such a headache trying to find a style for him. I basically settled with a more casual look, lots of layers and colours that actually match. You might think it's chaotic, but it somehow works. Wears the most accessories out of any of them, mostly necklaces and rings. Would def get piercings in the future, but never on his face. I can see him being quite conscious of how his face looks, the only thing he would put on in public is eyeliner to accentuate his sharp eyes.

And let's not forget the beloved hc of him wearing glasses, but again, never in public. You shall never see his nerdy side.

Koyama - An interesting guy indeed. First and foremost, he has to tie his hair at least a few times. His style would be the most neutral out of all. While Shuu and Araki tend to go towards formality as well as Ren and Seo going more towards a casual style, he is somewhere in the middle. Blouses or anything that isn't too tight is something he preffers, imagine he likes it having a bit of frills too. Also, I imagine him being a bit conscious about what he buys, like if it's secondhand or done under sustainable circumstances. As much as he likes to brag about memorization, he is genuinely passionate for sciences, esp biology and the environment. His clothing choices are one of the signs for that. People might think he doesn't have much to wear, but he genuinely doesn't buy a whole lot, he even repairs some of it himself.

You can all add on your own hcs btw! Would love to see them. 👀

Gakushuu Advent HC #3

Although he isn't all that sentimental, he still keeps little trinkets from people in a tin box.

Some of these include:

-A letter of appreciation from one of his elementary school teachers. It makes him feel like his work is.being appreciated.

-A badge that Kevin gave him. It's from his hometown.

-A picture of him and his mother. It was taken when he finished first grade and his Father didn't show up, so she went instead.

-A friendship bracelet from Ren. He had it ever since he was seven years old.

-A ticket to an amusement park. The B5 went there on their last summer vacation in high school.

Can I request some Shuu hcs? Anything is fine. 💙

Ok thats out of the blue. 😂

But sure!

I'll try my best to stay on the positive side!

- During his final high school year, his entire class surprised him with their own firework display just for him. It literally made him cry.

- Even years after he moved to the US, Gakuhou sends him gifts for his bday, usually some small not even expensive stuff. They havent truly made up, but Gakushuu appreciates the others dedication. His favourite is def a knitted scarf that Gakuhou made himself cause he wanted to prove how he is also great at handcrafting stuff.

- Bc he isnt used to naturally smile, he always practices it in front of a mirror but makes sure his father doesnt notice. He would get teased about it otherwise
