For the question meme: What do you think Kazuya would be like if his mother survived?

► send me questions you have about my character!

For one, he wouldn't be such a warped, cruel, vindictive bastard. At least not to the extreme extent we've seen out of him.

Kazuya is a product of his environment, largely moulded by Heihachi. For the longest while Kazuya was frozen in time almost. Stuck at the moment he confronted Heihachi on the cliff, trapped in a hopeless situation, a struggle for survival. Everything about him - personality, beliefs, fears, desires, motivations - is about the obsessive need for control, power, and revenge against his father. It stems from an need for personal freedom and maintaining it no matter the cost. Kazuya looks out for number one and kills any who gets in his way for power. He's never grown much into a person beyond Heihachi's influence. Even with Heihachi gone for real (hopefully), he's too set in his ways to renege on everything he's fought for until now. There are those who would still try to control and defy him and a chance of that happening cannot be allowed to stand. Once he has control of the world no one will ever be able to dictate his life again.

Regarding Kazumi, the whole reason she was with the Mishima family was to end Heihachi one way or another as part of her duty. The Hachijo clan worked use their devil to safeguard the world in their own way by eliminating those who were deemed a global threat and he was one of them. I can't imagine Kazumi being complicit to Heihachi's crimes and staying with him when her purpose was protecting the world. Either she takes Kazuya and escapes, abandoning her duty and going into hiding, or she deals with Heihachi like she was supposed to, despite the difficulties of such a challenge and how much it hurts her. I do in fact have a verse where Kazumi survived. She beats Heihachi, but she can't bring herself to deal the final blow. What she does instead is she severely cripples him, forcing him into a coma. With him in that state, he's not a present danger. Afterwards she takes Kazuya and Lee back with her to the Hachijo clan, raising them there. I'm basing this theoretical personality on this scenario.

I believe Kazuya would a standoffish, pragmatic individual that can be calculating, but he's still prideful and arrogant, especially when it comes to his fighting skills. Confrontational and direct but has an overall quiet, if not indifferent attitude towards other people. He is big on loyalty and respect. He doesn't take kindly to having his trust breached, and is merciless to those who betray him. He retains his interest in biological studies, his own personal code of honour, some of his slightly erratic tendencies from the early Tekken days, and his traits of amassing things like his shoe collection. He harbours a hatred for Heihachi for what he did - the man's actions have irrevocably changed him from the boy he once was and shattered that illusion of childhood innocence forever - but with Kazumi around in his life instead of him, he has a chance to to deal with it in a healthier outlet. His father's imperialistic teachings isn't being imparted to him, he isn't constantly exposed to cruelty and abuse, and he's not fuelled by hate and rage at a situation he can't escape. Heihachi is out of the picture for now, so there's no one to foster those feelings of revenge towards and his obsessive need for power isn't as overt in this life since he has more control over it. He's still wary, but he's more capable of trusting others and allowing himself to take in positive influences.

Kazuya would at least be a better person. Maybe not heroic or conventionally "good" or the type to make the world a better place, but he is better.

Still, a touch of embarrassment pricked her stomach. Already, the girl long since figured out Katsuki was her type, but now the overwhelming majority sat right there on paper, almost condemning her tastes with how well he slotted himself in.

This poll is strictly for autistic people only, and thus does not have a "see results" option. If you're allistic (not autistic) please refrain from voting.

Respectfully, this poll isn't for non-autistic people! It's actually for a slideshow presentation I'm working on for school, therefore please only participate if you are Autistic.

to be clear: this is NOT asking if there SHOULD be a cure for autism, as that is a different issue. this is simply asking, if it WAS possible through safe and ethical means, would you take the opportunity to cure YOURSELF. you're not making the decision for anyone else.

this poll was submitted by an anonymous user. if you have a poll you want to reach a larger audience, feel free to submit it to me, post it and @ me in the replies, or send me the link in an ask!

#anon didn't attach any specific options so i took liberties making the answers. i hope thats ok! #submitted poll #actuallyautistic #autism poll #trying really hard to reach the autistic audience here idk what tags to use

What was Kaz's thought process with hiring Nina with their history? What was his aim when putting her into a cryogenic slumber all those years ago in the first place? 👀

► send me questions you have about my character!

If there is one thing Kazuya could admit to himself about Nina, it's that he generally views her as efficient and competent at her job. You give her a task she can likely see it through. But that's about it. I will also not deny that he doesn't trust her in any sense of the word, given she's attempted to kill him multiple times and then fact he very much prefers Anna (they are close despite anything he says).

From what I understand, as of T8 and after the death of Heihachi, Kazuya seized the chance to overthrow the opposing side, intensifying the attacks on the Zaibatsu until the remaining leadership was forced to surrender. It was a swift, decisive end. Kazuya has essentially assumed control of the Zaibatsu. I seems to have happened rather quickly - a month, maybe even within two weeks - so Nina may have still been the commander of the Tekken Force and been one of those said leadership positions. When it looked like she'd be unable to recover a still MIA Jin and Kazuya moving in to take over, this may be when she decided to cut her losses and become a freelance assassin.

So with all these factors in mind, I think... he's using Nina on a three fold scale. One, he needs someone to manage his forces as he escalates his push to take over the world. Nina has proved proficient enough in doing so with the Zaibatsu and already has experience with the Tekken forces he's probably integrated into his war effort. His normal pick is out of the picture so he'll make use of her instead. A threat he can effectively wield against enemies and make them think twice, and an asset ultimately expendable to him. Two, it removes Nina from the enemy pool temporarily and restricts her movements. She was a thorn in his side for a good while. She's very slippery and it can be hard to pin her down. If she's working for him as a direct subordinate, there's a much lower chance of someone else taking the plunge to hire her to assassinate him again. He gets to keep an eye on her and he's a position to deal with her himself if she gets any ideas. Three, Anna. I want believe this has something to do with her and until new material comes out I'll be making pure assumptions.

With my iteration of Kazuya there definitely is an Anna aspect to his decision to hire Nina. With Kazuya, Nina's... like a spare to use in the meantime? He's looking for Anna. Before T7, he allowed her to retire without any fuss in order to marry but clearly things have changed. There is no way he does not know about Anna's fiance being assassinated and he knows Anna well enough to know she will seek out revenge. I think she dropped off the grid after failing to get back at Nina in the heat of the moment, plotting on how to end her for good. It's hard to locate Nina even on your best day if she doesn't want to be found I imagine. With her current position, it's always hush hush about who's calling shots at the top brass but these things have a way of... leaking. With Nina kept in a very convenient position next to him in the event Anna does decide to return to G Corp, it sure saves the time of hunting her down, doesn't it? And if Anna wants to exact her revenge then and there? Well, Kazuya won't be the one to stop her. Unfortunately as of yet, Anna has yet to appear.

As for the cryogenic sleep, Kazuya was big on biological experimentation back then. While Lee leaned toward the cold and mechanical working of machinery, Kazuya drifted toward the understanding the heated evolution of living flesh. And he had a plan: create enhanced animal soldiers to utilize in his building army. Now what do we have here? An assassin fell into his hands? Sounds like a perfect test subject to try out these brand new very experimental machines on. I think Kazuya would have kept her in there for a few years to test the preservation efficacy of the machines before letting her out, maybe less since Anna decided to join her. So, he didn't have big plans for Nina per se. Didn't have time beyond testing out the pods. If he had… It started with animals, but I think he was on track to move onto humans after enough time (see Gigas a la T7). He was certainly willing subject himself to experimentation. With Nina still in his grasp he might have attempted to have Nina biologically altered in some way or another in his efforts to create a perfect weapon. Nothing that would kill her (probably), but she would be...changed. Maybe for the "better".

        Eyes widened, a hand flying to her open mouth, reeling back slightly as she puts on an exaggerated act of being shocked at the results. She's not of course. It's him, after all. Riku !  It'd truly be a bigger surprise if he somehow didn't clear most of the card  ( and what did this say about her ? ).

        A breezy laugh broke the facade and a few easy steps brought her to his side. She clasped his shoulder, firmly shaking it a bit.  ❝ Stop lying Riku, I know what you are. And I know that you can be goofy. ❞

No hold on I'm gonna make an extra post about this:

I wouldn't choose to be alloromantic

If I were given the choice to either remain aro or become alloro again, I would choose aromanticism.

And I think a lot of people need to hear that.

#aro #aromantic #actually aromantic #safeforaro #alloromantics are encouraged to reblog this #aros aren't the only ones who need to hear that our orientation isn't a consolation prize #too many ppl - both aro-specs and alloros - think that being aro is okay only bc it's not something we choose #with the implicit belief that if we COULD choose then OF COURSE we'd choose to be alloro #bc it's clearly the 'superior' option #and honestly? it's not. #they're equally valid options and which one is 'superior' depends entirely on your own needs and preferences #and my preference is *being aro* #so if you're aro and you feel like yeah sure it's OKAY that you're aro bc you DIDN'T choose this #but if you could you WOULD choose to be alloro? #well maybe being alloro really would be better for you. or maybe it's just internalized amatonormativity. #and I cannot answer for you which one it is - the only one who can is you #all I can do is raise you the OPTION that it might be amatonormativity and then leave you to consider it #so this is for the aros who need to hear that option #and for the alloros who pity us for supposedly getting the short end of the stick #we are not a tragedy
