Initial D Headcanons - What's a bad habit/trait they have?

Project D

Kenta - Leaves the toilet seat up. Every. Single. Time. No matter how many times his mother has told him, he forgets. Has become an increasing issue when he visits people's houses.

Takumi - An avid nail biter. He’s chewed them down to the nubs and they’ve never been able to grow properly because of it. Due to this, his nails are much smaller and shorter than most people his age. 

Keisuke - Not necessarily a bad habit, but it’s considered one in a lot of cultures. He bounces/shakes his leg all the time, and often has trouble sitting still. Ryosuke is always telling him to “stop shaking the car/table” to which he stops but then continues a while later using the other leg. 

Tomiguchi - Gum swallower. He never threw away his gum when he was younger so it felt weird when he tried doing it. So to this day, he swallows his gum despite the weird looks he gets from the rest of the team.

Ryosuke - Doesn’t understand the idea of sympathizing with somebody when they come to him with a problem. His first instinct is to try and solve it, whether or not that's what the person wanted. If Keisuke is complaining about being hungry, Ryosuke will respond with “then eat”, if he complains about being tired, Ryosuke will say “then go to sleep”. He’s very action-oriented and doesn’t know why somebody would come to him with a problem if they weren’t trying to solve it. 

Fumihiro - He’s a chronic worrier. He gets very stressed about time and traffic and always imagines the worst-case scenario when even the slightest thing is off. He leaves for the airport way too early for example, and if somebody is even a few minutes late to a meeting or something, he assumes the worst.

Gas Station Gang!

Kenji - He double dips. He needs his food to be coated in sauce for every single bite, so he’s been banned from sharing condiments with the rest of the gang.

Itsuki - His mouth moves faster than his head does, so there are many times where he’s said something he shouldn't have. The kind of guy to tell a woman “Congrats on the baby!” when she's not pregnant, simply because he didn’t think that far ahead. Also can’t read the room to save his life

Ikentai - Has a very bad habit of correcting people. Like, all the time. The kind of person to correct your spelling when you text. Specifically about cars, though, he gets somewhat irritated when people get things wrong, and even more so when people get angry when he corrects them. He can be a bit of a know-it-all.

Inital D x Solatorobo Crossover AU

...because I warned you this was going to happen.

First of all, if you don't know what I'm talking about: Play Solatorobo. If for some reason you don't want to play this amazing 14 years old DS game, you can go watch this video about it. Please. Do it for me 👀

Additional thoughts (and robots) under the cut:

In this AU, the RedSuns are a hunter guild. They've specialised on escorting airships and fighting off sky pirates. The Takahashis are from a wealthy mostly merchant family based in Spinon, and their parents are not entirely thrilled about their occupation... but not un-thrilled enough to not fund the RedSuns, because they're at least quite useful in keeping their cargo ships safe.

Takumi is either from Spinon as well, or from Airedale. The tofu shop remains unchanged, and also the fact that Takumi is constantly being sent on deliveries with his dad's junker of a robot.

I have two different scenarios as to how he meets the brothers. Firstly, the one where he overtakes Keisuke, a lot like in the original. I mean, Solatorobo has a racing minigame, so I had to. It makes perfect sense that Ryousuke has his hunters partake in the Air Robo GP to refine their aerial maneouvering skills for sky pirate combat, so it could happen that Takumi on a delivery out-maneouvers Keisuke, who reacts just as well as he does in the show. Made even better by the fact that there is a cake delivery quest in the actual game using the racing minigame mechanics... but I digress

The second option is that the RedSuns get called to a passenger ferry that's currently under attack... but when they arrive, Takumi, who happened to be a passenger, already took care of the pirates. Ryousuke tries to recruit him on the spot, lol

I started making some robot designs for the brothers as well, but I abandoned that idea after Takumi's Hachiroku-mini-mech already took everything that I had:

At least for Takumi's robot, I tried to include some design elements from his car. I'm not very good at drawing mechs, let alone designing them... so if you want to see some proper car mechs, I redirect you towards Twi's IniD mech AU!

Anyway, Takumi is a caninu and the brothers are felineko, obviously. It's probably also obvious what cat species Ryousuke and Keisuke are (snow leopard and leopard are just too appropriate for them, lol). Takumi... well, I procrastinated on this for so long (because of the robots) that I forgot what dog breeds I looked at for reference, but I do remember one of them were St. Bernards. Floppy ears and a chill disposition.

This crossover has a grip on me.

Please play Solatorobo 🥺

Thank you.
