I put more for 6 because a sad melancholic Kinn is now tugging at my heart and he's just a little boy who just wants love, a gentle type of love, with a person, man, who's patient with him.
In canon kinnporsche, in my musings, I was thinking about a sad Kinn and how Kinn’s character is deeper than what is showed and I want more of 9what shaped him into the complex and hardened man we see on screen. Behind the polished exterior, he’s just a boy who had to become a man too soon. There’s a deep sense of sadness and vulnerability that I believe resonates with Kinn’s canon storyline—his longing for affection and understanding and having the fear of making mistakes and not being good enough for his father, brothers, cousins, and even Porsche too.
So, when I imagined him drunk and melancholic, it was a way to peel back the layers of his exterior and reveal the little boy who misses his mother.
ALSO, WHAT I SO DESPERATELY NEED IS, a fanfiction of the canon kinnporsche of, even as he faces the scrutiny and blame from others, Kinn remains shrewd about it—choosing not to directly confront but instead allowing people to think he’s loyal to his father’s legacy. It’s a strategic move to protect himself emotionally and to maintain his peace.
Kinn is smart and careful about what he reveals, never showing too much vulnerability. He knows how to play the game, often letting people assume he’s still loyal to his father’s questionable ways—when in truth, he’s subtly distancing himself from the toxic aspects of his upbringing. This isn’t about forsaking his heritage; it’s about protecting his own mental and emotional well-being.
I wanted someone to write and to explore how Kinn’s resilience is a survival mechanism. He’s learned to shield himself from emotional harm by adopting a stoic demeanor and a calm exterior, even when inside, he’s grappling with pain and confusion. His journey in this story is about learning to prioritize his own peace and security, to reclaim his sense of self beyond the shadow of his father’s influence.
When Kinn FINALLY stands up to those who speak ill of him or lay blame at his feet, it’s not about aggression; it’s about asserting his independence and protecting what little control he has left over his life. It’s a subtle, smart, and calculated move—one that reflects his growth from a boy who had to become a man too soon into someone who understands the value of maintaining boundaries.
