Family head!reader imagine, you're a grandma (who doesn't act like one) in this
Before the war Baam was training in the middle area of the tower, and he's obviously tired and he looks worn-out. Imagine you, looking at this young man who looks oddly familiar and hobo-like and deciding to give him some of the fruits that was exclusively grown in your floating castle. Your descendant happened to be Baam's friend who visited him in the middle of the tower and he got slightly shocked when he saw the fruits in Baam's arms. He asked Baam about who gave it to him, and Baam said that you didn't tell him your name but he described your appearance in detail. Your descendant looks s h o o k t h.
"BOY YOU JUST MET A FAMILY HEAD"
Yes, as a family head you're known as the one who likes to randomly disappear to roam around but appear out of nowhere when you're needed.
I like the idea of randomly popping up when needed...you're like the tower's fairy god parent.
Baam might be too spaced out or tired to actually think about what happened. I don't think, at the time of his training, he'd fully understood how strong a family head is so he'd just be like..."they've got a lot of children?".... He wouldn't know why your descendent is so ✨ s h o o k t h ✨. Once it gets explained to him though...he still won't have an over the top reaction, but he'll be surprised. I feel like your descendent would just be standing around explaining this to him, like a disappointed parent.

Baam : "Baam is chestnut in Korean. Bam also means night in Korean (and that's the reason for his name) BUT at least one character has joked about his name in the chestnut sense."

Has anyone asked for this before?
How would Bam or Kuhn react to another irregular s/o. I just thought it would be an interesting scenario
ooh, i haven't had a request like this before, and I'm writing for Bam, because I suspect this boy is wholesome
i haven't posted a req in 4 months I'm sorry

It wasn't rare to meet a regular in the tower. After all, most of those climbing it were regulars. That didn't matter to Bam. Power wasn't something he judged someone by. Bam didn't enjoy judging people at all.
Curiosity did sometimes get to Bam - other than Rachel and Mazino - were there any other irregulars? Would they be as strong as Urek or as deceitful as Rachel? Is there any chance that Bam would meet another one?
Bam was all too comfortable talking to Khun. He was someone Bam trusted wholeheartedly.
"That isn't something to bother about," Khun starts. "You've met people climbing the tower, most of them regulars. I can't say you won't meet an irregular, but I can't say the opposite. You've got plenty of time. The tower is pretty big, after all."
The thought of meeting another irregular didn't make Bam anxious. It didn't make him feel anything. For all he knew, he could walk past one and not notice. That train of thought got him distracted as he walked on.
Bam feels a sudden nudge against his shoulder. "Oops, sorry," a soft voice says, snapping Bam back to reality. "I should have paid more attention,"
Instantly, Bam's drawn to your eyes. You looked almost defeated. Dark circles lay under them.
Bam smiles as he answers you, "There's nothing to apologise for. You look like there's a lot on your mind,"
He was stopping you from getting away. You didn't know his intentions, only that he didn't come across as someone dangerous. But there was something about him.
"No, it's nothing. I don't know you, and you don't know me. I need to go,"
Bam was conflicted. Khun and others had told him that he couldn't save everyone, and he wanted to acknowledge that, but you seemed so down and anxious that he didn't walk away. There could be something wrong.
"Are you in danger?"
"What?" you look around nervously, "I didn't realise I'd walked into another irregular." You stiffened as you realised what you just said.
"Is that why you instantly became more anxious?"
"Yes. I was expecting you to be a bit more intimidating,"
Bam smiles at you, helping you become more relaxed. But it didn't help you feel calm.
"You seem a lot more trustworthy than the irregulars I've met so far," it was a comment that caught you off guard.
This guy, an irregular, was supposed to be powerful but was weirdly friendly with you. He wasn't intimidating in the least. You smiled in relief.
"It's nice to see you smile," Bam compliments you.

[TW: infanticide, suicide, mental instability]
I think one of the things that screw me up about Arlene Grace is what Rachel said to Baam about how he's not meant to be a hero, but a monster who will 'devour' everything. I know Rachel lies (as does almost every character in Tower of God, hahaha), however I don't think she's lying about Baam in this case.
Garam specifically told Baam that yes, Arlene was the one who 'brought him to this world', which I personally think refers to the Tower. She also explicitly tells him to never think of her as his mother, which if he is indeed the revived son of Arlene and V, is a very strange thing to say regardless of whatever is inhabiting it because the body that this Outside god (whether it is an artificial soul, or the Outside god themselves) is using is the body of Arlene and V's son.
I'm not defending the murder of a baby here, but I doubt that Zahard's main motivation for killing baby Baam is purely jealousy and rage over Arlene having a child with V. Because the thing is, Zahard let them live after the war. He let them get away, which is a pretty weird thing to do from a political standpoint.
When he finally did pursue them, it was to kill Baam. We don't know how he killed Baam, by that we don't know if there was an altercation between these three people (Arlene and V versus Zahard). But we do know whatever that this confrontation ended up with baby Baam dead and it seems like as soon as he killed Baam, Zahard basically yeeted and left Arlene and V alone. I think Baam's murder was a preventive measure, a 'if I let this kid grow strong and reach his full potential, he might just kill me' sort of situation.
Zahard seems to be a very reactive instead of active sort of ruler, he only really moves until he sees something threatening. He tries to kill Baam when he meets him again on the Hidden Floor, but even that is a pretty half-hearted attempt and he let Baam get away. He also says that he doesn't really understand what Baam is, and it seems like he wants to know what the heck Baam is before he kills him. I think that's obvious from the way he gives Traumerei free reign on what to do with Baam and how he let the other Great Warriors discuss what to do with Baam, and didn't immediately agree with Gustang's suggestion of another round of child murder.
I think everything in Arlene's diary needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, because it's definitely a biased point of view. Arlene strikes me as a pretty stubborn person, I mean she wanted to continue climbing and was willing to go to war with her former friends because they wanted to settle down instead (I do realise that it was probably a lot more complicated than that, but I'm working with the information we currently have). She also founded an organisation dedicated to killing them that still continues to this day. Alongside that, people from FUG consider places sacred because Arlene stayed there which is quite reminiscent to the way the 10 Great Families react to their Family Heads.
The circumstances surrounding V's death were also rather odd. Arlene was said to be mentally unstable by this point, she also tried to commit suicide several times but couldn't because of the immortality contract. Yet V is able to kill himself because 'he didn't make the immortality contract', we don't know enough about this contract to be able to define the limitations but we do know that Irregulars are able to bypass contracts. Coincidentally, Zahard and co are all Irregulars, so them being able to kill each other is a possibility.
Baam has a lot of 'messiah' symbolism attached to his character. Born on the 25th night, which I, like a lot of people think, is an allusion to Christmas. His weapons being the Thorn, like the crown of thorns. Baam being killed and then resurrected. Garam has omitted a crucial part of Arlene's tale, a part which she thinks will make Baam hate her for not telling him in the first place. Rachel is bitter and jealous, that's for sure, but I am inclined to believe her when she says to Baam that he is not meant to be the hero most people think he is. Arlene's intention to kill Zahard is made perfectly clear and Baam acknowledges that. I think Arlene's true end-goal is the very thing that Garam omitted, and it is most likely something heinous. And Baam will most likely be the one to commit the act.
