hey, boba, i don't know if you'd be down for this or if you'd like cr in other circles instead, which is totally fine!

but if you're down, i can give you cousins on chiyo's maternal side? (yukine is her cousin on her paternal side)

[personal profile] idealest 2018-01-11 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
oh goodness LMAO... who could say no to being related to chiyo honestly

tbh i will probably try not to make a habit out of tagging yukine with sakichi because i stomp kimmeh's ass with yato already!! but i don't mind there being that relation and i can okay it with kimmeh too

ALSO since makoto from p5 is going to be sakichi's sister, chiyo would be getting her as a cousin too... i'mma confirm that it's kosher with makoto's player right now!!

laughs that's why i prefaced that it's totally a-ok if you'd say no! lmk if it's cool with the other people!

if not, i can offer you cr with my other character in terms of clover volunteers to walk dogs a lot, so she could know him by having a few run ins with him while he's delivering mail and the dogs she walk just somehow instinctively tried to go to him

even if it is ok, i can still offer the above, too

[personal profile] idealest 2018-01-11 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
MAKOTO'S PLAYER ALREADY OKAYED IT, TOO BAD CHIYO YOU HAVE MORE COUSINS (pending kimmeh's response)

also the dog walking situation... LMAO i'd actually believe that happening. i was reading an AMA about how the post office uniform alone actually seems to set some dogs off... LET'S DO THAT TOO!!
admiringly: (Default)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-01-11 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
cousins!!! (pending kimmeh's response since i sent a message kimmeh's way, too)

sorry that sakichi is cursed when it comes to dogs but he's also a year older than clover so if you want them to know each other from school, that's another possibility? so it's not just.... cursed dog magnet

but i'm ok if you just want that for hilarity

ooh yes a high school connection sounds good... i figured sakichi would be in track or something, but if clover wouldn't be in a sports club, maybe an extracurricular? like a language or music or art class (he was probably awful at art) or whatever it is kids do these days!!
admiringly: (61)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-01-11 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
clover was in a lot of extracurriculars (because she's an overachiever) that i never specified for possible cr like this! track would work for clover because she does try her best to keep physically active

she'd have done language or music, too (but more on the choral side) but not art because i can't rp two characters into art at the same time
idealest: icons by <user name=pretz> (!!!)

[personal profile] idealest 2018-01-11 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
THEN... LET'S probably just stick with track, because tbh sakichi probably preferred more technical options over the arts... sorry arts

sakichi was probably a pretty dedicated runner... he would've known that he wanted to get into the marines and that he had to be in top shape for it! so if she ever asked him about college plans or anything, he would've readily told her about that

and then next thing she knows he's a mailman i guess
admiringly: (Default)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-01-11 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
track it is!! honestly, this works out great since four likes to run away so this kind of ties in metaphorically.... clover is more science-minded but is a little (a lot) pretentious

how do you go from the marines to a mailman sakichi.... clover isn't usually blunt enough to ask this outloud but she'll absolutely think it

likewise, she's pre-vet and would've had that in mind in high school

EDITS TO ASK what's he going to be like around chiyo? (since kimmeh gave me an ok! i should clarify again sorry to your inbox)

FUN INTERNET LEARNINGS: apparently the USPS employs a markedly high number of military veterans... I didn't know this until after I cobbled Sakichi's AU together but EYYY IT CHECKS OUT

OKAY SO the story with Sakichi is that he's Makoto's older brother, but they were separated early on because their parents divorced! So Makoto went off to live with their dad in Japan and Sakichi stayed in Recolle with their mom. tbh Sakichi probably would not have made an effort to hang out with Chiyo unless his mom (Chiyo's aunt maybe?) took him to visit, but if Chiyo wanted to do things he'd dutifully hang out with her.

He would've been a pretty serious kid and dedicated to supervising her... While their moms(??) were off chatting, he would've taken it upon himself to make sure Chiyo was watered and fed with snacks!! If she wanted to play, he would've done it with a 100% serious face. He'd probably ask a lot of questions about it, though. He prefers logic even in his make-believe house scenarios.

His behavior around her in the present day will probably be similar, where he feels a responsibility to ensure her well-being when they're together. He's not clingy though, so unless they're running into each other on the street, the onus will probably be on Chiyo to keep in touch.

IT'S FATE.... mailfighter au was meant to be

his mom being chiyo's aunt works for me! for reference, chiyo's dad is dead, and her mom is a lawyer.

why are the older boys in chiyo's family like this.... she would do her very, very best to keep in touch! her au brother rin went abroad in his middle school years and was shit about keeping in touch (for his own reasons) despite chiyo's best efforts, so she would've .... tried to compensate for that even more with people who would respond to her! honestly, as a child, more than playing house or anything like that, she probably would've just shown him her budding drawing skills and asked for his honest opinion.

despite that, chiyo isn't super clingy either? if he ever expressed that her trying so hard was at all annoying or a hindrance, she would back off. mostly, chiyo just wants to be a family that's like a family.

oh...... i didn't know chiyo's dad is dead, rip uncle

the older boys are TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!! but yeah, the more chiyo would've tried to keep in touch, the more sakichi would've figured that he was important to her, so he would've been consistent about responding to her, updating her about life, and so on.

RE: ART... again, his facial expressions kind of range from angry to neutral, with actual smiles like unicorns in sky, so he would've evaluated her art with a pretty neutral expression at all times... BUT he always means what he says, so he would've been honest about thinking she was improving and encouraged her to keep going!

at the same time, you have to consider that this is the kind of eye he has

in chiyo's case, sakichi wouldn't see her as annoying or a hindrance! i like to think they'd have the kind of relationship that stays comfortable regardless of how long it's been since they've seen each other... sakichi is a stable soul and probably would've had the same essence as a youngster as he does now. i hope that makes sense?!

RIP it's the backstory rin's player wanted, and since i was flexible with chiyo's history, i went with it.

GOOD sakichi is a good older cousin... that's all she wants. a response. the hurdle he has to clear for her happiness and love is very low.

i think she'd come to know he's sincere and honest, so she would've learned not to look for his smiles (BUT PLEASE SMILE AT HER SOMEDAY she wants to see a unicorn). she's grateful for his evaluation and encouragement. it means a lot to her!!

look...... you don't have to be good at art to say if someone else's works look decent. she would be diplomatic about any of his art handiwork, if she's ever shown. or sometimes deadpan drag him because her reactions can be very abruptly honest in spite of herself.

it does make sense! stability is wonderful, and chiyo would find comfort in it. a comfortable relationship is a+

[personal profile] idealest 2018-01-12 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
HE'LL SMILE AT HER MORE THAN MOST... cuz she's a good girl and he'll have been genuinely happy to see her again, just wait for it i guess. he's not at all shy about expressing his opinions about people and he'd be fond of chiyo so!! she's probably gotten a lot of approval and almost-smiles from him lmao, why can't you just smile like a normal person sakichi

he probably drew like two times in childhood, it was awful, and then he decided it was non-essential to his life so he just never did it again unless necessary LMAO. please do drag him

they're gonna be cute... I'M EXCITED ARA

[personal profile] servileness 2018-01-12 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
clenches fist i'm so glad. she'll feel like she did something extra good every time he almost smiles at her. like she's been blessed

ART IS ESSENTIAL, SAKICHI that's blasphemous thinking... no, she understands.

I'M SUPER EXCITED TOO BOBA chiyo likes group selfies so expect that in sakichi's life

also i hope you can give me a chance for chiyo to call baren sakichi's stalker tbh
goen: ((๑>ᴗ<๑))

[personal profile] goen 2018-01-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
sakichi would tell her everything about baren tbh... NAME, FACE, JOB, MEMORIES, CLINGINESS, EVERYTHING... and i hope he keeps doing it forever until baren tells him directly to stop, which will probably be never since baren won't know about it

he won't mind selfies but also don't expect him to smile... sheds tear

[personal profile] calydonian 2018-01-13 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
THIS IS STILL ARA BTW

ok hand emoji this is good shit can't believe chiyo will know all of baren's secrets without getting cr with him

chiyo doesn't need his smiles, just him!!

i'm already living for this, boba. thank you for giving me this opportunity
goen: (YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT)
