elaborate you say. ahem. excuse me for a second here while i rant about possible candidates for ms scarlett, pushing kino aside because i think everyone knows my stance about the SHIP EVER IN THE UNIVERSE. for those who don’t, find rox’s latest fic and thank me later

ayato — i have the receipts <3 well i actually don’t BUT you know exactly what i mean. i saw it. trust me i know this funky guy better than i know myself. SILLY REDHEADS SUPREMACY!!! they go from absolute idiots laughing about whatever and/or causing trouble to diving into a deep conversation about whatever matter they picked first. scarlett is emotionally mature (or at least she’s a LOT more mature than ayato in that sense) and i think her life experience would be super useful in this scenario. also come onnn it would be cute. it would be really cute, he’s lowkey a bit of a puppy sometimes. ayato gets to monologue about takoyaki while scar speaks about the wonders of peaches? a match made in heaven!

ruki — it’s pretty, it's nice and it can either go towards a nice and (dl standards) healthy relationship or the most toxic thing you can think about. choose your poison, i like both <3 definitely a very very rocky start because they strike me as super wary of each other but they. warm up? somewhere down the road, i think? i’d like to think they do, at least a bit. emotional intimacy what’s that, eww feelings. feels like i’d have to push they’re pretty little heads together so they can solve every problem that goes down in their relationship and be Honest With Each Other.

i definitely have more suggestions in the oc department but imma shut up for now! he dormido poquito no me juzgues esto me salió solo <3

KUU OMG you didn't have to do all this T_T But plssssss since you did allow me to ramble with you<3 fghfh

Scarlett and Kino are my ultimate babies BUT seeing the other alternatives has been very fun and I'm lowkey surprised to see Ayato as the winner kskds BECAUSE YES. YOU AND I. KNOW™. We've seen them being redhead besties (kinda) and silly deep thinkers at the same time, so I'm honestly curious to know what all the people voting him saw in their potential 🤔 However, some Ayalett (?) interactions around here had a VERY similar vibe so I guess it's meant to be <3

I have to admit this is ship candy for me because Ayato would be like a tamer version of Kino KJSF Kino is far more scheme-ish and controlling and bitchy and Evil For Fun with the things he does, whereas Ayato just. I mean he's an angel next to Kino despite being chaotic too. His own silly escapades are Actually For Fun and he might get in trouble for the kick of the adventure instead for ruining people's lives lmao. Scarlett would definitely be less on edge to avoid danger and more trying to REASON!!!!!!! bECAUSE THAT THING'S BORDERLINE ILLEGAL!!!!!!! and maybe it hurts no one but STILL!!!!!!! ...In the end she will give in and have the time of her life, probably.

Also both having a Takoyaki vs. Peaches debate like they are arguing about how to end with world's hunger is something I need NOW—

Now with Ruki I have to agree they could have the best (and worst) of both worlds. They could have similar ideals but go about them in very different ways and that's all they need to distrust each other. Rukilett interactions were pretty much how you described them (maybe for a different and much more extreme reason but still) so I can see them being super hostile and clashing HARD until maybe they realize they aren't so different after all, both have a human past that they had to leave behind and they can't let anyone threaten what they've have achieved thus far... I could see Scarlett being somewhat jealous of Ruki's relationship with his brothers and Ruki might admire her resilience and the fact that she's come so far pretty much on her own. Eventually they'd learn that working together is much more convenient than working against the other and the rest is up to fate<3

Instead of being silly deep thinkers they are JUST DEEP THINKERS but Scarlett eventually loses track of his endless metaphors and bigbrainism and either changes the subject or they start arguing out of nowhere—

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR THOUGHTS KUU I always love your suggestions and ideas and anything you wanna ramble about I'm happy to ramble back 😤💕
