Ibushi for character ask thing, because I haven't seen you answer it for him (and fully can't believe that nobody has asked you, so maybe I just missed it...). PLS TELL ME ABOUT BEST BOY IBUSHI.
tbh I didn’t pay him any attention before episode 9, but then he HAD LINES and SHOWED EMOTIONS and I FELL IN LOVE JUST LIKE THAT and it took me a couple more weeks to learn his name.
So not even a bad first impression, more like… no impression at all for two months. How did the staff fuck up this bad
Boi… you all know I could write an essay. But I’m gonna gush in the other questions so let’s just say I love him he’s my husband we raise our kids together (with Yoosung of course) and I love him lots and am glad the fandom acknowledges him when the staff doesn’t lmao why do they hate Ibushi so much I just want to know
If there’s a downside it’s how fucking secretive he is like goddamn he won’t fucking say anything
(when you get his block on level fifty in the puzzle game there’s this story where he takes the puzzle protag-chan to a mountain and says he wants to learn more about her “even embarrassing things” stop this man and the protag-chan returns the statement and he literally just laughs and the story ends there and I’m fucking pissed (sorry for all the fucking))
Ok so. I hope I’ve made it clear that ゲームいぶしベストボイ (game Ibushi best boy) so um am I allowed to name scenes from the game?? If so it’s the part in his love end (spoiler warning?) when he notices Protag-chan has some jam on her lips and fUCking BRUsheS It oFf and lICKS HIsGotdAMN fiNGErS LIke thaT TEASY SEDUCTIVE MOTHERFUKER–
And if going by the anime aka the canon everyone is familiar with I guess “maybe it’s mating season”. It came completely out of the blue. I paused the episode to process. One of my friends wants to be a tattoo artist in the future and I told her two years ago I want her to tattoo that line on my ass
I marry Ibushi and we live happily ever after the end
Ibushi’s dad is a high-up in the yakuza but Ibushi just wants to garden and his mom tries to keep the peace like ffs
Ibushi isn’t really a perfect, innocent cinnamon roll. Of course he is kind and he is good-natured and nurturing and loyal and patient to a degree and all but there’s much more?? Like, Ibushi is a ruthless sass master, he’s cold and passive-aggressive as heck when mad, he’s a flirt, he’s a tease and a bit possessive and I know these attributes are mainly visible in, you guessed it, THE GAME (there’s no time to play it but pls read the translations available), but anyway I want them addressed more please don’t ignore my husband’s other sides in favor of one
Another one: there needs to be more x readers. When you type his name into google search, “[name] x reader” is the second or third recommended option but there are only four or five pages of results depending on whether you wrote Ibushi Arima or Arima Ibushi and most of those are about another character x reader or Arima from Tokyo Ghoul or just results with his name and there aren’t a lot on the sites I’ve checked either (ao3, Quotev, Wattpad, deviantART (a mistake), even FFnet, tho I think it officially forbids reader-inserts) and this needs to change do I need to do everything myself gdi in case you didn’t already notice, I’m kind of desperate
He hasn’t properly interacted with people other than student council in the canons I’m properly familiar with I need to fuckign RREAD THE MANGA ffs so I guess I’m gonna go with, um, Protag-chan. Honestly I am In Love with all their interactions, she’s so sweet and genuinely interested in him and what he has to offer and he can be fucking merciless (“she knows too much we have to kill her”) but also really considerate and flirty and. Man. Also very observant like he noticed Protag-chan was a girl immediately? When nobody else could?? That’s probably the reason he acted the way he did from the start. (Ibushi doesn’t talk about himself much in the anime but he refers to himself as “ore” iirc while in the game it’s always “boku” I think he softens his speech when talking to a girl how sweet (I’m passionate about the pronoun “boku” ok I notice these things)) (were Kinshiro and Akoya even present in the SC route?? because I really felt like I was playing Ibushi Arima route the entire time)
I’m. Fucking trash. But I’ve gotten really attached to my “Ibushi is a hardcore Batman fan” headcanon. You knows all those “is your Batman even relatively Batman” posts? He wrote them all. He owns a high-quality Batman cosplay or thirty. do you know how many variations there are?? and figurines and DVDs and comics and and conspires with the maids to smuggle all the stuff in his room without his strict father noticing
