I have planned out the kubokai uni fic and have written about half of chapter 1! (I’m planning on this fic being roughly 10 chapters, maybe 11 depending on how long the chapters are)
So now I’m just trying to figure out the specifics (e.g. which courses each character would be taking!)
So far I’ve figured out:
Kaidou - illustration (I headcanon that he’d wanna be a manga artist!)
Kuboyasu - engineering (I think he’d wanna build his own motorbikes, and maybe even become a design tech teacher)
Toritsuka - psychology (obviously, but also because it’s a popular course for women, so-)
Aiura - psychology too <3 (it just felt fitting for her hehe)
Hairo - sport and exercise studies (he would def wanna be a personal trainer or a PE teacher)
Mera - business (girlboss who also needs money)
Saiko - business too (bc his father owns a bunch of companies)
I still need to work out which courses Saiki, Teruhashi, Nendou and Yumehara would be taking! So if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them! :) <3 tysm!
phone apps (as imperial concubines) trying to get past your privacy settings, ft. a musical number that ends with a "Throw Her into the Cold Palace" bit about the phone manager app. literally how am i supposed to explain this show to people.
this is a psa. in the saiki k dub, at around 13:20 of s1e3, saiki ADMITS THAT HE IS KAIDOU'S FRIEND. I REPEAT. HE ACCEPTS KAIDOU AS A FRIEND. VERBALLY. how did we miss the signs
fuck dude i love god troubles me so much because all the characters are fucking losers. none of them are cool. none. protagonist, chosen one, child of a god and monster? she's literally a one in a million failure. cringefail girloser. she's poor, she's lazy, she's an icon. threw a guy into the stratosphere twice and then cried in a haunted house. the pretty, powerful looking immortal? moron. malewife. pathetic with his cunty little outfit. never had a full thought in his life. he's a phone btw. the aloof, standoffish "cool guy", strongest in the Monster realm? he only cares about video games and cat food (he's a cat). idiot. prefers to remain as a cat 90% of the time so he doesn't have to do things. can't cook. they're all insane. nearly defeated by 3 bugs and a rat. whatever
they're roommates they're best friends they're siblings they're found family they're lovers they're servents they're concubines they're her cellphone and cat
I think it's a shame that Su Moting's inferiority complex isn't talked about at all. It makes sense given the size of the fandom and the fact that it's quickly downplayed with comedic scenes afterwards, but watching the beginning of episode 3 season 4 reminded me of how much I want to talk about it.
For starters, there's the whole Wang Xiaobao situation, in which she constantly felt like she had to compete against him. She says lines like, "don't I have any dignity? Because of you, I've been unable to hold my head up." She also mentions being compared to him by her parents and other adults. Along with that, in the flashbacks we get of her, she's shown to be a smart, well-performing student. And now? She's a lazy adult with a procrastination problem who can barely go to work.
There's the last episode of season one where she feels inadequate after being confronted by the other versions of her, saying, "is the person I am now really that bad? When did I become like this?" This obviously adds to my previous point about how she wasn't always like this.
Finally, there's the scene that inspired me to write this: the nightmare in episode 3 season 4. It's clearly meant to highlight her fear of being controlled by the halo, yes, but I also think it touches on her inferiority complex. She saves everyone and gets nothing but laughter in return. Her heroic action is mocked. She is nothing in their eyes.
This might be me overanalyzing a comedy donghua, though, but I still think it's worth talking about.
Kurumi's way of telling saiki to go to sleep is sending him cute good night emojis
It's seems cute but they both know that it's just her way of passive aggressivly telling him "it's 1am go to fucking sleep you have school in the morning."
