Headcanon: To whom it may concern
So I wrote that little blurb of Kanji’s love letter, someone wondered what a letter from Naoto would look like.
Well, here it is ^^ Just like the Kanji one, this can apply to anyone and Naoto, though we all know where my OTP heart lies ^^
Randomly, these are fun to write, and a good break from the original story and trying to get things published thing that’s been going on ^^;;; I do still plan on starting that idol fic thing… at some point?
***
Despite who the letter is from, the penmanship is surprisingly shaky, words crossed out, as if the writer is uncertain.
To whom it may concern,
This letter is only intended for the eyes of the person it is addressed to. Please do not share this with anyone invasion of privacy is a crime! as it is only meant for you.
…
My analysis indicates that there is something wrong with me.
It appears… that I have developed something some troubling feelings for you.
I have debated seeking medical attention.
After running several tests…
This may come as a surprise to you, and I hope you do not find me unappealing oh god please do not! think this is some sort of joke. I am speaking the truth.
I… am in love with you.
Please send help so I do not have to endure these feelings any longer, as they will only cause more harm than good. I am not the best candidate for you as I lack the social skills and qualifications to engage in a relationship. Also, I have no time for such feelings, as I am busy being a detective, hence why I lack the social-
I hope… you can somehow manage to feel the same way, too.
If not, I will be extremely distraught will understand not really, no not at all! and hope that we can continue to be friends.
However, if you do find yourself suffering from experiencing the same feelings as me, then please, let me know at your earliest convenience.
Love,
Yours always,
Yours truly,
Naoto Shirogane
Can we just talk about this scene for a second. In the dub, she’s totally hitting on Kanji here shut up I know what I’m doing!
When Yosuke is all, “Tickled pink, huh Kanji?” about Naoto joining the team, and Kanji blushes and spazzes like the big cutie he is, in the Japanese version Naoto says something like, “Do your best,” or some words of encouragement about them working to solve the case.
In the dub he spazzes, she looks at him and smiles and is like, “It’s o.k,” which my OTP brain takes to mean, “It’s o.k. if you’re flustered about me being here, I don’t mind cuz imma totally tap that,” and he’s all, “…. yeah whatever…” and looks away blushing.
I’m just sayin’ dubbed Naoto knows what she wants.
LOL
This part in Arena is so great! The way she says it, it just… so, so wonderful. She stutters so much over it, and just… this leads to lovely ideas of Kanji trying to teach Naoto how to swear and not be proper all the time.
Kanji: When you have a bad day at work, say, “Fuck this shit!”
Naoto: H-huh?
Kanji: Come on, just try it! "Fuck this shit! Get bent!“
Naoto: U-um… fffffffu…. f-f-fuc-… this… um… shhhh… please to be getting bent?
Kanji: No! Damnit Naoto!
Naoto: I-I apologize, I simply cannot-
Kanji: Just say it!
Naoto: This… t-this particular s-s-shit… is in need of some… f-f-fucking, now please to be getting b-bent…
Kanji: *slaps forehead*
Naoto: fuckthisshitgetbent! *blushes and hides forever*
Kanji: … it’s a start, at least.
Oh god, this part… in the dub its so adorable, because she’s like, “From the signature it seems to be from… a girl…” like, she over-analyzes the hell out of it, and it doesn’t even bother her that it’s from a girl, it’s the fact that it’s not case related. It’s like, “Oh a girl likes me… wait it’s not a case wtf get this shit out of my face!”
It also falls after the hospital scene where Kanji was all, “Naoto’s better than strawberry kit kats she’s the best thing 5eva,” so when this scene was next I was like, “OMG DID KANJI… oh she said girl… and oh there’s no penguin sticker it can’t be from Kanji…”
Headcanon: In which the delivery is extra special
I feel like there’s a lot of pressure to make a good Kanji and Naoto headcanon today. I had an idea of like, crazy into Valentine’s Day Kanji, but realized that it’s reversed in Japan so that would have to be for White Day? I guess?
That, and I thought of something else that might be a tad bit sweeter? I hope? Anyhow, Happy day of chocolates and things :)
Warnings: Sap, older Kanji and Naoto
Why I shouldn’t watch Family Feud
Question: What is something a woman does to attract a man at a bar?
Me: OMFG THERE NEEDS TO BE HEADCANON OF NAOTO TRYING TO ATTRACT KANJI WITH BAD PICK UP LINES!
My partner: …
Me: Naoto would all be like, “Excuse me, Kanji-kun, but the seat that is next to you seems to be unoccupied. Would it be a terrible inconvenience if I were to occupy it?”
My partner: …
Me: …
My partner: …
Me: Guess… that answer isn’t on the board…
Jumbled ramblings of a fic idea
So I have this really weird idea that won’t probably be written anytime soon – or maybe it will, who knows, maybe work will calm down after the ridiculously busy weekend.
I’ve always had this random Persona 4 idea of, “What if the characters were switched?” As in, not the characters themselves, but who they are in the game. For example (which is one of the main ideas of the fic), what if Naoto were the popstar instead of Rise?
More behind the cut, and still a Kanji and Naoto story, just with a popstar! Naoto. Warning, spoilers to the game and weirdness ahoy!
The semi ultimate preview(?) to an aggressively romantic headcanon
I’m going to TRY and write this into something longer for Valentine’s Day, we’ll see! Here’s a quick thought process:
Kanji Tatsumi takes Valentine’s Day very, very seriously, ESPECIALLY since he’s got a girlfriend now. And every Valentine’s Day Naoto feels a sense of dread, because she knows she’s going to wake up to perfectly crafted pink hearts, an unhealthy amount of chocolate, and all sorts of romance that she doesn’t want to participate in. She even reminds him that, you know, the girl is supposed to be the one doing this for the guy here in good ol’ Japan, but Kanji doesn’t care, damnit!
Besides, she’s kinda a guy anyway, right?
So it’s hearts and candy and teddy bears and other embarrassing fluff all day, no matter where she is – school, the station, just… it’s the worst day ever.
And she loves every second of the worst day of her life.
