kalin for the hc ask pls!!!

oh poggers ok I love this bastard man

A: I don't think it's too unrealistic for me to say he's gay lol. like. look at him ok. look at him. hi.

B: an unrealistic but funny headcanon is I think he's somewhat illiterate??? or rather he was when he was younger lmao I think he was a proper street rat and while martha will have gotten her kids (like yusei crow and jack) as much in the way of education as she could I think kalin was on his own and as a feral little kid just said fuck that I'm playing duel monsters instead. like he can read well enough to duel and that's good enough for him!!! I do think he'd really enjoy reading and writing if he found something that caught his attention though and I think he's stubborn enough to teach himself once he realised hey maybe I should be literate. he wants to be as much of a role model to nico and west as he can and that includes helping them with schoolwork even if he didn't go himself!!

C: god uh. this man has lots of problems and issues!! I think it's really tragic the situation he was put in as a kid and had to just Deal with. I just get real sad when I think about what it must have been like growing up like That y'know!!! especially since I believe he legit just has some underlying mental health issues that he was never able to deal with and all the stress of growing up in satellite would have just made it so much worse for him ;-; just give this guy a therapist and some healthy coping mechanisms please ;-; also more specifically I think he has issues with self-perception and impulse control like I feel one night post crash town he decided he was sick of his hair being longer and he cut it back to a style more similar to what he had as a kid and suddenly he wasn't himself anymore he could just see the dark signer version of him and it Freaked Him Out. I headcanon he has a lot of difficulties reconciling everything that's happened to him because it was so much in such a short period of time so he Blocks It Out so he doesn't have to think about it. trauma sucks, man.

D: fuck canon - I THINK KALIN AND CARLY SHOULD BE FRIENDS AND I AM RIGHT. they were both sidelined in season 2 (other than crash town) and I think they deserve to hang out while everyone else is busy. I feel like they'd get along pretty well together in general actually. also kalin would be there to help carly when she starts remembering stuff about the dark signers (I think her just completely forgetting forever is Bullshit) and carly can help kalin out with readjusting to just being a living person basically lol. they're mlm/wlw solidarity (carly's bi) and kalin helps act as carly's wingman when she goes after jack. also they talk about Gender together because I headcanon carly as a trans woman and kalin as (masc-alligned) non-binary!!! friends!!!!!!! I love them both so fucking much

#OK SO THAT SAD HEADCANON IN PARTICULAR GOT LONG. MIGHT WRITE SMTH ABOUT THAT ACTUALLY #i just have. a lot of thoughts about kalin right now I'm sorry akfhdkfhmf #also another silly headcanon i have is that he listens to punk music yes this one is me projecting but i think it fits his vibes pretty well #another silly headcanon i have is that he doesn't really feel the cold. once again this is partially me projecting but it makes sense ok #because growing up in satellite he likely wouldn't have access to good quality winter clothes and heating in winter #and when you're in the cold so often you kinda just. start to get used to it i guess. so he doesn't really get cold anymore that easily #this post made by the #'i spent a lot of time ice skating as a kid and also i was broke a lot and indoor heating is Expensive so i just got used to the cold' gang #sorry this is so long i have brain worms sdkfjfkgjfkg #asks #millenniumpuzzle
