listen, sometimes, I do think if haibara had lived who sayuri would be. though, probably in the flames of shibuya she'd deadpan, stare at him, and tell him point blankly: idk, yu-chan, but looks like we're going to have murder our way out

#// so in some sense she'd kinda be nicer but then kinda not #// like....the others had to know she was a bit intense from a young age #––– ❛ out of character 【 daddy needs to fake his death again 】

        btw, a lot of sayuri's ct is based on the 1980's pop centric era. while plastic love is the most recognizable, she would be attuned to a dance style similar to madonna, this era is meant to be a teenage dream. everything that is sweet, kind, innocent while exploring newfound territory she has never known. to better exemplify, we often look at gojo / geto as the pinnacle of teenagehood && coming of age but the past arc was also sayuri's story. it's spicier since it follows the breaking of gender roles as she defies normal conventions by coming from an all woman dominated clan. she also solidifies herself as a special grade removed from being that of a mere vessel to a slumbering god. at the same time, the story follows the first crush, the first heart break, everything pink && romantic, she is living her juliet dreams. learning to dance in a modernistic way, harboring normal interests like most girls have, while breaking out of her role she was fated to wear grants sayuri the ability to become who she is today. this is why she can never hate the shy, timid, sweet girl she was during that era, it is an impossibility but now, she can grasp freedom with such a ferocity. 

#––– ❛ headcanons 【 shoganai 】 #// it was so important when shaping the past arc to reference pop idols during such a prominent era #// since sayuri is going through a mass cultural shock once she arrives to tokyo #// cutting her hair / wearing cute modern outfits / enjoying normal teen girl things is so ??? #// plastic love is her joy and love its why she shares her CT #// this is truly the most purest aspect of who she is #// really wish there was more highlights into female jushiki sorcerers but alas #// listening to vintage 80's songs is such a vibe

       𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐐𝐔𝐄, 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄: Born of the purest intent during her youth, Sayuri utilized her talents as a former shikomi into her current initiate technique. From the depths of Shinjuku where a young girl was introduced to the first taste of freedom, she honed the ability off the bright neon lights && bustling nightlife.  A homage to what she believed was hers alone, no one else's, Plastic Love is to be shared. Through her knowledge of how cursed energy flows, Sayuri vocalizes it begins within the gut flowing like water into the extremities, by doing so, it amplifies her output of cursed energy by 5 percent for a duration of ten minutes. When maximed at 15 minutes, the output will increase by ten, in rare && extreme cases, 15 percent with a drawback of shorting her endurance && stamina. When another sorcerer harmonizes their cursed energy with hers, they too will be granted the ability to tap into her proficiency && knowledge, amplifying their own abilities. For the few that can understand, calculate, while methodically timing the space in between - Black Flash will occur. The more Sayuri dances, the more of an output she is able to produce, what makes this an act of admiration for those who surround her? Plastic Love takes on the couples preferred dancing style, tailoring itself to personality alone. Sadly, by the start of the Perfect Preparation Arc Sayuri would discard Plastic Love as those she surrounded herself with are no more.

I think a lot about the fact it's great that sayuri's body collapsed from the physical exhaustion after such a horrendous expierence in shibuya. she didn't have to witness todo's demise thankfully or anything else that came && was most likely dragged back to the estate smelling of blood, ash, decay. not only did she have to be at the mercy of her family during the duration of her healing, she also would know of the zen'in massacre && expierence a new set of profound horror.

#// she's at her lowest during the perfect preparation arc and shouldn't be in combat but y'know #// this is also the time she is most combatant with the rest of her clan and starts to severe ties #// eventually leading up to them realizing they cannot contain her any longer #// she has grown to be an entity greater than what they can home #// at least we get to see her uniform ???? yeah underboob helps everything #––– ❛ out of character 【 daddy needs to fake his death again 】 #// kills her metaphorical son then has to murder everyone else #// rakes in 45 points during the culling games #// she's having a time

                “Must I repeat myself?” her stance did not waver, a moment of respite as she found herself sighing heavily. “Itadori has been urged to receive grade one promotion by one of my own, this is observation along with whatever else is needed, still I am anxious - whenever our brethren in Tokyo call it's never good” with arms crossed, her features contorted, eyes rolling upwards in annoyance, “Listen to me, your father is being requested as well but this might be due to Maki-san’s own recommendation, will you two ever sign off? The poor girl, such a pitiful life, at least with us she could have gained a title far easier” the night air is thick with ambition, hopeful promises to raise one’s status, a power grab she sensed or political move to ascend higher all of which were considered normal within this land. Plumes of white cascade from her pipe, illuminating the nocturnal haze with a smolder of embers.

             “Enough, I hate that gaudy name to begin with - my duties are that father-in-law keeps focus that is the extent of wifely responsibilities” cutting words that slash outwards, sharp to the touch as she cocks her hip, tutting underneath her breath. “Oh my, I sense I shall leave our homeland as a Kobayashi but return as a Zen'in woman! My heart is truly bursting at the seams, yet, my wolfish husband has no intentions of helping me to wrap my hands - you’re cruel” bottom lip jutting out, the supple tier is childish in action as she moves to turn heel.

                       “No embrace, no kiss, no gestures of grandeur? The head of the Hei knows how to break a poor maiden’s heart too well!”  

“And are you not a capable woman, my sweet enduring lotus?” He's bristling with the absolute pride of the haughtiest of hounds who howl at the cruel, ethereal moon that dismissed every last ambitious advance, clasping his hands together in resounding self-applause at his sheer ingenuity! “You would do well to willingly participate in this scheme I've concocted for us, Yuri. Think of the glory you could gain for your own name — not as a Kobayashi, nay; but as the God Hand of Gion! Is it not a most noble show of power and goodwill? You shall be fulfilling your duties as a future daughter-in-law of the Zen'in as well. — So! Come now, be a good girl and play along.”

#// can you imagine one dies twice the other goes on a murderous rampage #// naoya don't let your juliet know there was a political grab after or she's coming after you #// their conversations are so unhinged and spicy its not oh I bring the best out of him #// no IT'S THE WORSE SHE LOVES IT TOO #// walks in with one smoothie and a furious rabbit #antinomos

sayuri being poly, bisexual, breaking the traditional feminine roles of her clan, while also wanting a house husband is just amazing for her

#––– ❛ out of character 【 daddy needs to fake his death again 】 #// this is very precious since the society she is raised in tends to be rigid in conformity #// the fact she has broken such a great ideal to live her own life while being secure in who she is??? stunning #// her first crush on yuki was awesome she's asked her favorite woman and turns the tables: it's you #// bonking ryu when he fumbled uro ???? she can't relate that is her wife now

             “You’re so dull!” her shrill voice was a stabbing knife, unrelenting whenever she felt an inkling of emotion that was devoid of the usual stoic manner. Her pride was the only voice she clutched, everyone knew, they would murmur she came from a prestigious family, influenced from bankers to renowned artisans, she never forgot. Picking apart those she deemed inferior was nothing more than past time, the haughty nature always on display, but who could stand equal to the notorious ice queen? She feared it was him, standing before him, a match that was made && neither would win in the end. Betwixt slender fingers, she spins the elaborate pen, carefully tucking it back between the velvet casing. “Have I, truly? Your persistence to drag yourself into academic hell is almost alluring if it wasn’t stupid, these are easy formulas, what will you do without my assistance? Suffer?” sitting perfectly still, she moves to swoop in, clasping the tendrils of black in one effortless motion && placing them upward.

     That face of his, it reminds her of each time her aunties would scold her, be nicer, be gentler, sometimes Usagi - hubris is a bad thing. Oh, she could slip underneath the table && vanish altogether. The pang of guilt swelling in her bosom as she refused to let him escape her claws. Perking, her head tilted as she seemed genuinely confused - distracted? There was no such thing. Immaculate in her style, she refused to admit the ruffled dress && overly large cream sweater was the remainder of a poorly timed laundry routine, he would have to endure her decision. “Questionable? Everyone I tutor ends up acing the class, there is nothing to debate, I am the best” this insufferable man, her eyes rolled as she leaned forward, resting on to the wooden desk top, calloused digits that outstretched as she whined.

      Childishly groaning, her eyes roll, “Not a chance, I would never seek such a thing from you anyway, why would I to begin with? Hasn’t my score shown enough that I’m fully capable of getting my way? You make such silly assumptions. This is merely just an invitation of goodwill, that’s all. I forgot we have practice to begin with, don’t you ever have lunch or break? You’ll burn yourself out && become an old man before you know it”  

That's precisely the kind of improper behavior that frustrated him! With every frankly presumptuous remark calculated in order to gain a reaction and glean sore spots of weakness, Gino grew more irate at her utter lack of decorum and unnecessary sense of cruelty. He felt like a dog led by the chain gripped by this ojou-sama who insisted on rubbing his nose into his inadequacy to remind him of his place. No matter how unrivaled her skills were on the court or her calculations, she had no sense of discipline! It's all just a rabbit's game to her, his feelings and his pride dashed and dismissed like his efforts to reach the correct answer, but he's learned young never to give in to bullies who would only continue to poke and prod. “That's enough.”

“You've made your point.” He countered her with the strict air of control he held on the court when pressed for time and under pressure to carry his team to victory: the unflappable captain who didn't bend even in the face of unfair calls made by refs and corrupt sports politics, who could recognize when a situation had been rigged from the start. Did she sincerely expect to go unnoticed by him, despite sitting so closely with the scent of roses splashed on her nape and dressed in her cute stupid sweater? “I wouldn't have made such avoidable mistakes if you weren't distracting me, just so you could catch me on a miscalculation and offer your questionable tutoring services.”

Gino pushed his glasses further up his nose and crossed his arms, staring down at her to snuff out every attempt at mischief. “How does helping me benefit you? Are you hoping for preferential treatment or opportunities to gain the upper hand? — Give me your honest answer on the court, Kobayashi. I refuse to be late because of you.”
