How many times do you think Shinichiro got wrongfully presumed to be a teen dad

So I was thinking how so many girls in the fandom love and fawn over Shinichiro but in the Tokyorev universe it’s the complete opposite. Even with basically everyone saying how a perfect old brother and leader he is, he still got rejected 20 times.

This also goes on why Shin wants to be in a romantic relationship so bad? It is him just a romantic at hear or is this somehow related to his parents relationship and he just wants to prove himself that he can be different than them (more in how he can be different than his father and by that proving that it is possible to have a fulling relationship without cheating).

Ah, the infinite amount of answers to those questions... I mean, for why he is so unpopular it's probably cuz he sucks at flirting and since we as the audience never saw that part of him, we focus on what we know of him which.. for the most part is far more noble and cool (even if some questionable actions of his remain - but we love him and his flaws anyway). The girls he was after probably never saw these other sides of him (if they did, he'd have had experienced smth similar to Takemichi (w/ Hinata, Yuzuha & Senju). Altho I guess we know so little about him back in BD that we can't say for certain if that didn't happen)

The 'why Shinichiro wanted a relationship so bad'-question is even more difficult to figure out. I've got my own headcanon about it, but that's only speculations ofc and pretty much baseless.

Shinichiro wants a relationship very very much. But he doesn't actually catch the concept of falling in love and being interested in someone beforehand. He'd 'fall' for girls but he'd actually not know much about them. Being rejected hurt still, because his intents were genuine and not deceitful but even if his heart gets hurt, he recovers pretty quickly and steadily: because he's craving the relationship, not the girl. He only knows them on surface level, and god knows if they are even aware of his existence

He's raising Mikey and Emma, right? He's their father figure, but they've got no mother figure. they need one. and we know how japan works, nuclear 'traditional' family all the way, how else do you want the kids to grow up 'normally'? and he has to raise them good. thats his job

Shinichiro also looks up to his father (not for the cheating part, let's hope really hard--) so he probably tried to (consciously or not) act like him when he tries to flirt. except he's likely awfully bad at it. And Shinichiro is a momma boy to me so ain't no way he's in favor of hurting women emotionally (and physically ofc ofc), he's far to attached to his mom for that (I will not. have any thoughts about how Shinichiro may feel about his father. I do not have the time for that. No. Nope. nopety nopes.... Heloveshimlotsbutthere'sstillthebitterresentmentanddisappointmentthatlotsofpplfeeltowardstheirparentsforfairjustifiedreasons)

Once he manages to - actually, fully - fall in love he's 100% head over heels, hopeless romantic all the way. He's corny. He's pathetic. He's a loser. We love that for him. But I don't think he falls that easily, I think he tries (as a teen at least) to trigger his falls (and fails. which girls may have picked up on, too). He has a very specific idea of romantic relationships, too so if it doesn't look like what he imagines, he may be a bit lost

Don’t worry about it, we all have a life outside tumblr so take your time to rest!!!!

Thanks a lot for that =〕 I didn't answer straight away but it did help to feel less bad about not being able to reply to people on there

Wait you are French? Bonjour Madame or Monsieur

-✨ anon

I am fully French, yes

Bonjour back to you, ✨!

I'll then be keeping lil beetle Shinichiro, thanks you all for voting 🫡

I love them equally so –

me: haha nami sure is passionate about money!

internally: nami spent her whole childhood being poor and getting second-handed clothing and felt like she needed to steal the small things she wanted like a book because they only had a limited amount of money growing up with a young woman who suddenly had two daughters to take care of. and then it only worsened when arlong came and killed bellemere for only just having enough money to keep her two daughters alive but not herself. also this was done right in front of nami. then she got kidnapped by arlong and later struck a deal with him that if she collected 100 million, she could free her entire village from arlong's control and they won't have to struggle with money anymore and be free. she couldn't possibly work up 100 million on her own though, so she had to resort to stealing from pirates since she was a little girl and developed trust issues upon trust issues and a general hatred towards pirates not only for killing her mother and enslaving her island but seeing all the damage they wreck just from having to get close to others to rob them. every single cent she got she had to carefully stash away for her end goal of freeing her village. by the time we meet her in canon she is effectively rich but it's still not enough and she still needs more. just a bit more. and then her 8 years of blood sweat and tears gets stolen away right from beneath her nose and between it getting stolen and her sister getting shot over it, she had to choose to get her sister to safety and then she finds out her entire village knew she was trying to free them when she thought they all hated her for joining the very crew that was enslaving them and it turns out they were only pretending they didnt know about her deal because they didnt want her to feel burdened by their hopes if she wanted to run away from arlong because she was only one little girl and this whole situation was extremely unfair towards her and they just wanted her to be happy but now everything was taken from her and now they're so angry about it that they're gonna go and fight arlong even though she really doesn't want that but she cant stop them. so now not only has she lost all the money she had been saving up for her village, now her village is going to go and die for her because she does not have the money to save them

me: haha, she really loves her money :)

Been thinking about the fact Takeomi was the one to carry Black Dragon flag

Like he. He really. He really couldn't. can't. He - literally - held, hold onto it. He had to have his hands on it, to make sure it was real, to show it to everyone else, to the entire world -- and it had to be him, of course

"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting

I apologize for everyone waiting for me to answer them (the anon in my inbox, the comments for NNA), I'm just so damn tired

Wakui coming up with a narrative foil duo: let's swap their clothes, hair and eyes colors. Also one is a bit taller than the other but that's because the other is a bit older, so it balances out

Hibaru, ya got to eat—

Negai No Astro, chapter 2 thoughts

- making Hibaru unconscious for two weeks was the only way to get to establish threats without our knowledge/us picking up on it ig

- so Hibaru IS the baby of the family

- the grandpa is alive!

- so it was Shio that was making stuffs fly around in chapter 1!

- Shio be thinking he's the Chosen One (tbh in this type of situation I think a lot of ppl would think that)

- attempted fratricide in progress, yayyy Love Wakui keeping habits

- tattoos are cool, but you know what's cooler? Me having a good look at them and figuring out the symbolism behind the design chosen.

- Shio-GlassesGuy potential parallels with Hibaru-Terasu?

- the fact Hibaru's first fight is a downgraded version of his and potentially Terasu's power.. helalfozmxma (also the Hawk fraction symbol is a sword/cross behind/through a diamond/shield)

- Hibaru being only able to activate his power by holding the bullet reminds me of Shinichiro and his lighters – wonders how it goes for everyone else that didn't hold into anything while making their wish

- Hibaru not putting on the other sleeve bothered me during all of it

- wondered how many sibs are on Shio's side, how many if any (because I doubt it) tried to fight and defeat him, how many took the opportunity to go away where they couldn't be reached/went MIA

Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again

You know, I was waiting to see whether or not he was actually on Shio's side or on his way to manipulate him

Didn't think we'll have a clue this soon
