Just saw your post about your almost own Konig. Can you make some headcanons about Konig being the sweet quiet butcher at the store? Could be a customer or a coworker vibing?
thank you lovely anon for this ask~
SFW answered below the cut! i'm definitely not giggling at 1am as i write this
also i took the inspiration from the sweet quiet butcher who liked me when i worked at a grocery store, so thank you to him (he really was so sweet tho....)
butcher!konig who couldn't take his eyes off of you on your first day working at the grocery store you'd been going to for years. the way you looked so eager to learn from your coworkers, and the way you smiled at customers just captured his heart. how you always came in with your hair nicely done and smelling like your favorite perfume.
butcher!konig who comes in everyday with his own knives, perfectly sharp and taken care of. you noticed him walking around with his little black case of knives for work but couldn't work up the courage to ask about them. he would catch you staring sometimes as you watched him cut meat with ease, like he was cutting through butter.
butcher!konig who tried to learn things about you from your coworkers, such as your hobbies and interests. he approached you eventually and loved the way your eyes lit up as you talked about the things you liked. most of your conversations were just you talking to him. he was too shy to talk about himself.
butcher!konig would talk to you throughout the day during every single shift, not caring the way his coworkers stared at him or how his boss would scold him for talking too much to the new girl.
butcher!konig who tried to impress you with stories of how much he could bench press, and who randomly threw his butcher coat to you and started doing numerous push-ups with ease right in the middle of the grocery store to impress you.
butcher!konig who showed off his tattoos to you on his toned biceps in the back of the grocery store one day. he stayed deathly quiet with an intense blush when you gently touched them innocently in wonder.
butcher!konig who made sure to say goodbye to you whenever he left for the day. no matter where you were, he'd find you in the store and smile shyly as he tried to find a way to ask you out. but the words would die on his lips as he overthought it.
butcher!konig who would tease you and try to make you laugh whenever you were having a rough shift. if a customer was ever yelling at you, he'd come over and tower behind you, immediately intimidating the customer and sending them back with their tail between their legs. it made his day with the way you'd smile up at him and thank him.
butcher!konig who asked you for a hug on your last day at the grocery store. he finally had the courage to ask for your number, which you gladly gave to him after you hugged his solid form.
...
this was my first time doing an ask in this style, i hope you enjoyed!

my opinion on the manga-to-anime mogami arc adaptation changes depending on who im talking to. when it’s people who lament them getting rid of the more brutal parts i have my whole speech about how mogami shouldn’t be this cartoonishly violent strawman who just wants to play dirty and an important part of his character is that, while he’s wrong, he has genuine points that mob needs to hear that help further his development through the season and that’s better expressed when mogamiland is more down to earth and realistic and not just senselessly brutal and knife twisting
however when it’s people who discredit the arc just because of its darker tone and because bad things happen to mob i just go like “YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY SHOULDV KILLED TWO CATS”

Started out with good principles but sacrificed doing the right thing for self preservation: Peter Pettigrew 🤝 Quirinus Quirrell
Morally conscious, always trying to do the right thing but have a bad grasp of what that is because of their communities until they sort themselves out: Regulus Black 🤝 Percy Weasley
I see people putting Reg in the first group like he came out of the womb knowing right and wrong and then gave it up. Why? No part of canon or the way human beings work suggests that.
I dont mean this as apologia. I think apologia is what people are doing when they make him have secretly good principles but bad actions anyway. (I dont agree that thats more moral but still). Like he's more sympathetic if he knows right and wrong but choses to protect himself instead. (The boy who literally tortured himself to death to do the right thing). Why doesn't Peter get more love and leeway then, because thats his situation.
I get that its hard to imagine someone joining the Death Eaters out of the desire to do the right thing, because from our perspective its obviously wrong, and that its harder to sympathise with that person. But thats the way its presented, that Regulus wanted to set the world back in order for his community. He actively wanted that, and was willing to risk his life in war for it. Isnt the point of the tragedy that he thought he was helping by making those personal sacrifices, but it wasnt actually making anything better?
Isnt his self-realised deradicalisation more interesting and genuine than 'secretly was enlightened with the morality I the reader hold but was a coward anyway'? He was a teenager, thats when most people start figuring out their own philosophies and morals, and which things they were taught were wrong and who was actively lying to you for their own benefit.
I get that theres a lot more nuance even than that, and theres a lot more I could say. I also get that people dont want to get into moral philosophy too much in their little fics so they compromise on where he should be in his morals arc, so he has the beliefs of the end of his arc but still has to have the actions of the earlier part. I just get a little annoyed by the coward fandom meta i guess.

see the thing that i like so much about ruina so far is that it doesnt feel like its telling you to do something. like, specifically, it presents characters in situations, and reveals how they handle it. and afterwards... its just over. theyve simply done what they had to. theres never really any "ah, they were Flawed because they did This, so instead of doing That you should take This lesson from it." characters just... Are, and Do. theres no heavy urge to chamge the way you think, for lack of a better description. rather, it places down concepts and leaves it there, giving space for Thought rather than Explanation.
even with cut ins of angela and roland doing their own commentary-- it's never really presented as a You Should Take This Concept From This, but rather as... them Also figuring it out. because Everyone in the cast is just... odd, messy, flawed-- human. you can take away the same thing they do, or not. because everyone just does what they think is right, and deal with the consequences of it. it doesnt matter. things just move on. theres something refreshing about it.
