Yess good. v curious about headcanons for mastermind duo too.
Oh man oh man! Right when you ask me the right question, my brain short circuits ;_;)!!!
I’m going to be incoherent and I apologize in advance.
Let’s see....I had a productive conversation with @pikapika68 a few days back.
1. In canon, Shirogane felt like she was keen on pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes, including Kiibo. But for mastermind duo, I’d like to think that Ouma, instead of keeping Kiibo in the dark, he discloses his plans with him. They bounce of ideas with each other. Ouma’s the kind to want a partner-in-crime.
2. Ouma and Kiibo’s personalities will be the same as in canon when in public. However, in Ouma’s case, he’s essentially hiding in plain sight. While for Kiibo, he’s a pretending. A liar. He’s not as naive as we think and he’s aware of the ugly sides of humanity. They’re both liars, which is why I often present them with pink eyes. As I’d like to call it, Lie Eyes.
3. I’d like to think they were strictly partners-in-crime, but eventually fell in love. But the idea that they fell in love before the show was on air is also cute.
4. When everyone is asleep, Kiibo and Ouma would spend time with each other cuddling. Kiibo doesn’t really like listening to the audience voices, but for the sake of this show, he tolerates it. He takes his ahoge off once it was essentially time for their show to stop airing for the day.
5. The audience doesn’t know Kiibo was on the side of Despair, they also don’t know that Ouma is the mastermind, because he uses an anonymous profile when interacting with the audience.
6. Ouma and Kiibo don’t go horny for Despair like Junko, but they like inflicting Despair upon others. They are capable of displeasure. Both Kiibo and Ouma are possessive and protective of each other. When something goes wrong live, they make sure to comfort each other. With their words and with their bodies.
7. During the mastermind reveal, everyone gets ten times as aggressive after finding out it really WAS Ouma that was behind everything. Kiibo reveals himself to be the second mastermind a little later to shock the other survivors. Kiibo would join Ouma on the podium, pull him close and rest his head on Ouma’s shoulder as Ouma terrorizes the survivors.
---There’s still more, but they apply to different scenarios. There’s too many things I’d like to see with this kind of dynamic between Mastermind Kiibo and Ouma.
