Headcanons for Jounouchi; I would’ve moved the entire post back here but there are some things I'm retconning from his time on Redeyeschaosdragon and more extensively his time on Bannerofstarlight. Because there is a lot that I'm changing and some things I'm keeping the same; which will be under the cut bc its a lot.

Jou is a former Gang leader and took over after he lead a coup against Hirotani. Before he met Yugi and after he met Tristan. He was nicknamed Two Hands for the fact he could duel wield pistols. Of which he does keep two pistols on his person, as well as three separate pocket knives all concealed but you will be able to feel them if he’s carrying you. 

He still has trouble trusting people and is more than likely to go with his gut feeling rather than other people’s. There are some he’s more willing to trust than others due to their personalities or their relationship to him. But he will act as if he trusts those he in reality doesn’t. Rather he’s keeping a close eye on them.

Has PTSD, Depression, anxiety and possibly survivors guilt though all are undiagnosed by a professional.

Has a fear of the ocean, fire, tasers, lightning, thunderstorms, being chained up, being left behind, letting people down, becoming like his father and Hirotani.... Hirotani is a big fear he still has too. Katsuya’s gotten worse at hiding them from people over the years, especially if you’re super close to him.

He is skilled in hand to hand, pistols and pocket knives but absolutely sucks at smooth talk. He is hard to sneak up on but it’s doable if you’re quiet enough or his guard is dropped substantially around you.

He’s still a car mechanic, he loves working on them when not dueling.

Hates pepperspray with a passion, would sooner suggest giving someone a taser than pepperspray.

Knife collection is huge and covers the walls of his spare bedroom.

Has frequent nightmares and panic attacks. 

He has depression but it never keeps him down because he’s just stubborn. It doesn’t always work, but he moves forward for the ones he loves and that’s enough. 

Jou does indeed have a sense of preservation though he finds that being “okay” with the idea of being sent somewhere or killed sometimes spooks the other person into dropping their guard and/or the subject.

Is a hardcore mother hen

He flocks to lonely people unknowingly because he knows what it's like to be lonely and he loved it when Tristan came to his rescue. So he does it to other people even when told to leave them alone.

He 100% does not think highly of himself because he’s done things that are far irredeemable. He hides it well behind his mask, but sometimes it cracks and it spills out whether he wants it to or not. More often than not you’ll find him biting back comments and beating his depression back with a stick.

Jounouchi has done things he’s not proud of and still does things he’s not proud of. But he figures having his hands bloodied means that another innocent can keep theirs clean.

He’s a self sacrificer, both subconsciously and consciously. He wouldn’t take his own life by any means, but he does disregard his own safety if he sees a way to save someone that might get himself injured or killed. He’s used to being the sacrificial lamb, so even when he isn’t one... He treats himself like one.

That being said, he sometimes doesn’t realize that he’s being heartless. Something deemed unacceptable to a normal person doesn’t register as wrong in his own eyes. Especially if it has to do with violence, although even that has some exceptions. He may be heartless but he isn’t that heartless.

Social cues go right over his head. If it isn’t fighting, car maintenance or it isn’t gang related, he’s a bit stunted. He only learned so much from Yugi and things that he did didn’t stick very well. He’s trying though!  

More on his ocean fear; 

Jou and the ocean don’t mix. He’s nearly drowned twice and it’s one of the closest experiences with death he’s had. Minus turf wars that got really bad really quick and Ra/coma/shadow realm.

He can swim, pools and water in general he’s absolutely fine with. It’s when you get salt and the open ocean into the picture that he has an actual problem.

He has nightmares frequently about being under the surface with the exodia cards floating just above him. Yugi coming in to save him but too far away. Or it’s the dream where he saves yugi and leaves himself to drown, vaguely seeing Serenity’s outline coming to save him.

He’s afraid of drowning, not being able to get air. Adrenaline kicking through his veins without an escape or a way to pry himself free. In Jou’s mind the ocean is a trap. He is afraid of that which he can’t control, the ocean is one of them.

Jou would absolutely be that person to sit on the beach and watch his friends have a great time. Because while he loves his friends. Nope. All of the nope.

#~.. wait this is almost all of it minus the hybrid stuff I tried to throw in when I got desperate~ #~hahahaa hoops~ #~So somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin; Katsuya Jounouchi~

@bannerofstarlight​ sent: "What was that place you wanted to take me to in the human world?" Toshiro asked, glancing up from his paperwork. He'd heard it somewhere in passing, but despite remembering the conversation, he couldn't remember anything about the names or places. And the ones that he could think of he couldn't disconcern it from the names on his documents. "Where was it again?"

“It’s the fair in Karakura town!” She proclaimed with excitement. “It’s a lot of fun, and I thought we could take a small break from our work and take a little trip, just you and me. What do you say?”

IC asks // always accepting

@bannerofstarlight said: He takes one look at her. "Would you like to join the Tenth Division?" Toshiro asked, offering out one hand toward her. "YOu're free to deny or accept either way."

~*~ The too thin blonde looked up from her spot against a large tree. Her puffy red cheeks and red eyes were an indication that she'd been crying recently. Kaisa hadn't been expecting anyone outside and she'd gone to be alone, feeling the guilt that kept trying to eat at her.

"Hitsugaya-taicho?" she asked softly. That broken tone in her voice sounded so lost, so far away. She knew that as a seated officer she needed to not let what had happened get to her and yet it had. It was her fault, all her fault.

She didn't reach for his hand, no the young soul shifted and uncurled herself from holding her knees to her chest. Emerald eyes were haunted and her blonde hair was in a mess.

"You don't want someone who failed her comrades..." Kaisa murmured. It's how she felt though. She'd failed and failed miserably. Nothing that he or anyone could say would lessen what she felt about herself right now, "I thank you for your kindness..."

“The temple is closing soon,” Rei said, pausing in her sweeping as she turned to look at the visitor. Dark eyes seeming to cut right through the dark. “Are you hoping to buy a charm?” she asked, setting aside the broom, as she reached up to tuck her dark hair behind her ear.

@bannerofstarlight​ said:

"Soi-fon Taichou." Toshiro nods, "I hope my Lieutenant hasnt been giving you much trouble."

"No more than others," Which was to say, not very much. It wasn't like she saw very much of the blonde outside of the S.W.A or off-duty anyway. If anything, she saw more of Isane and Nanao than most Lieutenants, sometimes even more than her own.

"Is that all you came here for?"

@bannerofstarlight continued from here

Gremmy let his hands fall in his white coat pockets loosely. He seemed unphased by the growl from the Ice captain. “Did i strike a nerve?” He asked oddly calm as he did so.

“Uh... you new on this project? I don’t remember seeing you before.”

And Mokuba was pretty good with names, but with people moving about on the projects all the time, he might’ve just missed this one.

“Nice costume though! Who made it? It’s not one of mine.”

#bannerofstarlight #(idk how tf they meeting but lmao details details) #v; last piece of the heart [together again] #(but moki would probably think he's an actor or something lol)

[rangikuxmatsumoto]

There were icicle shaped chocolates sitting on rangiku's desk along with a bottle of her favorite alcohol and a note that said 'If you tell anyone I gave you these I will deny it. Happy white day - Captain Hitsugaya ps. Please dont shove paperwork onto our third. :/'

She was nearly certain she had received all the gifts she had been expecting today, so when she returned to her office to find the chocolates and sake waiting for her – she was surprised. Even more so after reading the note and discovering who had gifted her the thoughtful gift. Then again, the chocolates should have given it away.

A small chuckle escaped her as she let the note tap again her chin lightly, “Our little secret taichou….”

Though, a small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she rounded her desk, note still in hand as she poked her head out the doorway into the hallway. She knew their third seat was somewhere close, “—Ichi, I got sake to share if you’ll help with paperwork!”

“O-oh....Well... COGUHS, the feeling is mutual!”

Toshiro slowly slides him decaf

     ❝ Fuck yeah!! ❞ He grabbed the cup. ❝ I always wanted ‘ta try this! ❞ and then promptly emptied it all in one go. It was..... Kinda disappointing. His grin slipped from his face and portrayed exactly how underwhelmed he was feeling. The beverage was bitter. Tasted almost like soil mixed with water. Looking at the Shinigami, he was pretty sure he had just been tricked. ❝ ‘S this really coffee?? ❞ Not that it was a BAD drink ( Nnoitra would literally drink and/or eat anything ) - but he had thought it would taste better. Better meaning sweeter.

“That wasn’t one of the options, but it’s Jounouchi, so I’m not shocked he can’t read. Also, do that again and you’re losing your finger.”
