how many wrinkles does itsuki have that were from the washuu kids :,)

I'm pretty sure they were the cause of around 70% of them. 8| Itsuki gives the CCG investigators waaaaay more credit than they’re due-- He probably spent a lot of time trying to appease or comfort the kids when something was wrong/chasing after them, only to end up yelling over at @megistanis to help him because they’re his children and he doesn’t actually know what to do. 8|||||

But these were willing stress wrinkles tbh. He likely loved both kids a lot in his own, er. Weird way. Just as he does with Kishou, though he frustrates him at times ( Like when he wasn’t told about his wedding first, how unbelivable of you Kishou ).

META Q : do you think matsuri was bias when he said that the oek hated the washuu? since he WAS introduced as being prideful of his heritage, despite him calling his ghoul blood terrible. I mean, can you blame this guy? I bet he was a miracle child that was forced to to alot and he eventually had enough of the bs. && also! if he DOES appear, how do you think he'll be reacting to him? or any other washuu? (I kinda hc'd that the washuu smell /differently/ but distinctive?)

I DO THINK HE WAS BIASED!!! matsuri, despite his reservations, is still very proud of his lineage. it’s important to him that the image of the washuu, as humans and the enemy of ghouls, is upheld. i think he knows the hypocrisy in that, but he’s also fine accepting that hypocrisy. matsuri was set up for a relatively easy life, if thing stayed the way they were, on fast-track to the chairman position too. he knew it was corrupt, but he also didn’t necessarily mind. in the more recent chapters, he knows the truth is out, and he seems… content to throw the cards down on the table, so to speak. 

the original one-eyed king is their “taboo”, he literally is the antithesis of their image, and his very existence threatens the washuu’s integrity. i don’t know how it works but i wonder if the oek was like the “bad example” told to children, as some kind of urban legend. idk why he hated the washuu so much, matsuri didn’t divulge that information but honestly u only have to take one look at the family to realise that they are not normal. maybe, like matsuri, he saw the hypocrisy in it and just was like “nah fam, not today” KJHFGKJFDG

BUT YES. if he does ever reappear, i think the washuu would be very… surprised. for all intents and purposes, the original oek is dead and buried, and an example of why they must preserve the outward image — the truth is far worse. quite literally the skeleton in the closet. and i think the oek will be very please to know most of them are dead. he could applaud furuta for that much, but not much else. 

in canon atm, we’re at a cross roads and honestly it could go either way. there’s gonna be a callout post @ the washuu and they’re just gonna have to own the fuck up. they will lose their power and control of the ccg, undoubtedly. though there aren’t many washuu left, i don’t think the oek would have let go of that grudge, especially if they have proven not to change at all in 100 years. any interaction with one, if he does recognise / remember the scent as his own, would be tense. if he had any strength left, i think he’d even try to finish the job himself. until then, he’s gonna be sat in the underground sipping his tea while they have to pick up the pieces of their legacy !!! 🐸☕️

CUTE CHIKA HEADCANONS ?!

ooc:       OKAY 8|c tags you people: @taubc | @kenmazai | @fletschte

he’s quite glad about the fact that he has a boy AND a girl. simply because he can spoil them in different ways [ even tho that Matsuri doesn’t want it ]. Stuff like books and games are for both of them normal. More specific stuff like watches/cigars when he’s old enough [ he knows how Matsuri likes them ] or plushies/dresses [ for Yoshiko ], come with time and he couldn’t wait for it to be soon enough.

he’s notorious for trying to animate his children to go out with him and play this or that ‘family game’, usually ending it said thing not happening. some of the investigators quite surely laugh about it, some also pity him, but there’s not a lot he can do. even worse when his own younger brother Kishou also refused to come along, then he pretty much lost and gave up

he’s also known for giving random nicknames to people he’s close to, his favourite ‘victim’ is Itsuki, who had to listen to a plethora of them, before he finally settled on ‘Maru’

when both of his children were younger, he took a lot of time out of his day [ basically vanishing like Arima does in the timeline of the original manga ] whenever he heard from his wife that they would grow restless and would want to have their father. he’s didn’t give any explanation why he vanished, and a lot of the investigators just got used to it - there was no use in holding him back anyway, and Itsuki was already known to take his place

he also managed to sneak them in when they are younger [ moreso, he simply took them around ], having them know about a lot of what was going on in the CCG, and especially underlining both, Matsuri and Yoshiko’s, interest in the science department in leaving them sometimes with some trusted investigators so that they could explore

as I listen to music while I write this, how about the headcanon that Chika actually taught Yoshiko how to dance? Kind of reminds me of the rp we have on Arima, when Arima tells her to learn the waltz [ even tho she’s really young ] and Chika agrees to teach her so that she won’t mess up

FEW THINGS MOTIVATED the Washuu heir. Glory was one; the golden aura that would dress his name, that would colour his memory, the legends he would leave. Revenge was another; the red anger in that roared in the cage of his chest, the need to prove something, to exact the hand he had been dealt... but something deeper also motivated Matsuri. Something intangible. It was, admittedly, the same drive that had him writing monthly letters to a woman his father requested he married, but also the same drive that kept his hand tightly on the hilt of a katana when V agents surrounded him. 

The same drive that brought him to the Washuu estate, even. A husk of his former self: disheveled, scarred, aged, but alive. They were right --- the death of his father left him vulnerable --- but half-bloods didn’t understand what it meant to carry liquid gold in one’s veins. To be a statue of perseverance, to endure the hardest of times and still come out in one piece. The slaughter of their clan could not keep them down, and it could not keep them apart. 

The burden of the Washuu name was a heavy one, shared only by one other living soul ( living, he had assumed, as she was made of the same unyielding materials ) and as before, they would share that burden once again. When Matsuri pushed open the doors to the home he had grown up in, a home as grand as its inhabitants, there was only one thing on his mind.

‘ Yoshiko... ’ lips dry, it barely formed an audible sound... and then, with valour, ‘ Yoshiko -- ! ’ It echoed, again, and again, and again and for the first time in a long time, Matsuri felt fear. Fear that it was too late, that the estate was empty and would be forever more. Fear that he was the sole heir, why, why did that no longer appeal to him? Why did that frighten him more than it excited him? ‘ I’m alive, I’m here-- ’ he swallowed, risking the roar-like tone to dissolve into a plead, ‘ Where are you!? ’ / @taubc​

also @taubc's grip on the tokyo ghoul world is incredible, yoshiko feels like a canon character and always will be to me -- from headcanons to original content. their writing is so fluid and always a pleasure to read!!!!

     ANGELO HUMMED SOFTLY, THE only ❛yes❜ granted as he turned golden eyes in Yoshiko’s direction. Unlike her, he was able to travel about and breathe sometimes even if it wasn’t quite freedom. That was something that she was not allowed to do unless bodyguards were with her, and even then, it was easy to tell that she was miserable (to him, at least). Inhaling smoke one more time, he allowed it to burn his lungs for a moment before he exhaled, dropping his cigarette on the ground and crushing it with his shoe. ❝Alright. Let’s break out of this joint and hit the city. It’ll do you some good to be away from here for a bit.❞ Angelo would probably get in trouble for taking Yoshiko away from the protection of this mansion, but whatever.

     He’d deal with the consequences later.

     There was a pause at the mention of both Fango and the Vanetti, Angelo’s hands sliding into his pockets as he thought of a proper response. She wouldn’t like it, but he would be honest. ❝...It’s ‘cause they wanna use you. Fango wants you to marry him so he can snatch up your wealth, an’ the Vanettis want you because they can get a very good foothold in Japan with your influence. You’re like…a really rare bird everyone wants in their cage.❞ A terrible analogy, but he wasn’t exactly poetic. ❝If I had to choose though, I wouldn’t touch Fango with a ten foot pole.❞

how many times has furu made vines at the ccg - a very real question!

the most valid question i have ever been asked JKHGFDKJDFG

furuta loves vines; obnoxious social media trends are literally his thing. as rank 1 investigator, he probably spent a lot of time making vines of his office pranks, usually on kijima who is a little too old to understand why he’s laughing at his phone. when working late and has majority of the office to himself, it only continues. riding around the office on his chair, trying to knock over his polystyrene coffee cups with his discarded reports. you get the idea.

as kichimura, he probably deviates away from vines and actually takes social media more seriously. as he has access to more areas in the ccg, you can only imagine his glee when he sees a ghoul body in the labs. of course his followers have to see him chillin’ and singing to a dead ghoul body. what else could be more appropriate? he doesn’t respect the ccg so exposing its practices under the guise of “humour” is probably the best way to stir up controversy. he wants the eyes on the ccg, even if that is through desensitisation to their murders. he also likes to paint himself as the “fun” bureau chief to the public as if to alleviate the horrors he commits; he is public property and wants to make himself available to them. you’ll catch him talking about how proud he is of the ccg, all the while walking through cochlea whilst the screams of tortured ghouls can be heard in the background. 

the attention he gets probably goes to his head a little bit, and he is even more prevalent on social media the longer he is bureau chief. it’s a powerful tool, and when vines die… a little bit of kichimura’s life is lost too u ~ u

★          It’s not too much of a chore to find the little girl. Not too much of an adventure to find the witty wanderer, as much of an adventure it truly might be for her. He’s roaming the expenses of the Washuu’s estate, before sauntering out and into the large, vast garden area, hemmed and seamed by pulchritude of evergrowing Eden, breathing in the scent of freshness just as the roaring heaven had fallen calm again. That thunderstorm, that had broken itself over the large manor time and time again - that very tempest, had left behind the calming chill of the humid air. 

★           “Now, where is she?”

★           That petite someone, having run off from being chased by maids and servants to and fro. Having found a place to securely hide [ and something told him, something odd, that he knew just faintly where ]. “Do we play hide and seek? And that where I haven’t even counted yet.” Questions uttered, more to himself in the soft and low tenor of a drawling voice. If Yoshiko was close enough she might hear her father’s whisper - and he whatever movement was fulfilled.          || @taubc  ♡~
