SEASONAL AESTHETIC ~ !

𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑.     a chill right down to the bones. tobogganing. teeth chattering. sleeping all day. sitting by the fireplace. spending time with family. layered clothing. seeing another’s breath. loving the cold. a state of inactivity. cold hands. blistering winds shaking the windows. a bookcase full of brand new books and all of the time in the world to read them. cable knit socks. a bitter remark. a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. hating the cold.  full length windows to peer out of. pale skin. deep conversations. watching the snow fall. sharp edges. hot cocoa. smelling every candle in the store. a wild snow storm. melancholy. lighting candles around the bathtub. snow globes. expressing yourself but never finding quite the right words. the softest of blankets. liking, but not loving something or someone.

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆.     the smell after it rains. being in control of yourself. a soft breeze blowing your hair. lightning when it strikes. cherry blossoms. bright mornings. the first sign of hope. the relief of finding something you lost.  paris in the spring.  birds chirping. the art of growing. a kiss on the cheek. the clap of thunder. a tornado in the valley. smiling at a stranger. planning. saccharine pinks. making promises. trying something new. hugs when you need them most. a bee sting. sitting on the steps of the met. coming inside drenched from the thunderstorm. picnics on a red checkered blanket in the new sun. that feeling you get when you put on a good dress. a long hike. rushing when you can take your time. going to the gym, training at ungodly hours. excitement for what’s coming. becoming yourself. rain boots.

𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐑.     lanterns lit around a campfire. seeing the sunrise like it’s the first time again and again. melting ice cream. the warmth of sun rays upon skin. fireworks. the feeling of never wanting something to end.  beach days. the lone blow up floaty left in the pool, drifting with the warm nights breeze and nothing else. music blasting at 3AM, loud and proud. palms trees on sunset boulevard. longer days and shorter nights. wanderlust. nights spent staring at the stars. sand castles. road trips. blood orange sunsets. leaving the laundry to hang outside. flowers in bloom. sneaking out of your room late at night. pure contentment. barefoot in the sand. the street lights coming on. the sound of the ocean in a seashell. freshly squeezed lemonade. loose clothing. a cannonball into the pool. sunflowers. the hazy pink before dusk. relaxation.

𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋.   the leaves changing colours. a heavy backpack. the smell of old books. eating until you’re stuffed. deep, dark woods. the silence in loudness ( the loudness in silence ). abandoned houses. ripped jeans. crunching leaves beneath feet. feeling like you’ve been somewhere before. sitting at a bay window. having endless amounts of work. charcoal drawings. screaming into a pillow as loud as you can. pumpkin patches. creaky floorboards. accepting that some things do have to change. museums. small talk. being ignored. procrastinating. a door slamming shut. going to bed early. baking pies. the fear of walking alone in the dark. feeling completely and terribly lost. a twig snapping. crisp, cool days. belly laughter after crying. converse. foggy mornings at the shoreline. writing a daily entry in a journal. a lonely day.

memories of childhood.

repost. don't reblog. bold what applies. italicize what sometimes applies. 

scraped knees ,  silent tears in a locked room ,  slamming doors ,  pervasive loneliness ,  a dog barking ,  rain on a metal roof, flinching at movement ,  the creak of an old house ,  forced laughter ,  wandering in the dark woods , wondering how you made it through ,  sudden loss ,  trying to make sense of the noise ,  hiding what you love to protect it ,  trying to explain but your words falter ,  invaded privacy ,  confusion at the pain ,  running barefoot in the grass ,  wondering what you did wrong and coming up with nothing ,  realizing you aren’t a priority ,  grass stains on white clothing, trying to earn love you will never have ,  being threatened over the smallest mistake ,  secrets you are warned not to share ,  the feeling of never being good enough ,  the hope things might someday get better ,  grief that aches in your bones ,  childish dares and pranks ,  the sense that your body isn't yours ,  shame and guilt that aren't yours to carry ,  sledding down a frozen hill ,  absentmindedly following snakes through the grass ,  punching a tree until your knuckles bleed ,  tears over every dead creature you find ,  searching out small places you can hide… just in case ,  climbing the tallest tree so they can’t touch you ,  the feeling of something tainted under your skin ,  a curious child told to stop asking ,  floral dresses ,  body tensing at approaching footsteps ,  anger with nowhere to go ,  brief escapes from the chaos ,  the purr of a contented cat ,  taking the blame to keep the peace ,  being told you’re too sensitive ,  the creaking springs of a trampoline on a sunny day.

WHAT KIND OF WARMTH ARE YOU? 

soup on a cold day.

you're caring, consistent in your kindness, and quiet in your compassion for others. you offer warmth because you were cold for a very long time. and you refuse to stand by while others suffer in the same way. your kindness is not reckless. you count the costs, but you offer it anyway. you have a unique ability at reading people, and knowing when they have a pain that they are trying to cover up. your love language is probably quality time, and you're usually more of a listener in conversations. you probably find yourself taking on a caretaker role with others, almost automatically. so when people try to do the same for you, please don't flinch away. please don't withdraw into what feels like safety. there are people who are waiting to love you in the same way you have loved them. please let them.

HOW ARE YOU COLOR CODED?

WHITE CODED.

white, a study in sincerity, hope, and being gentle but not weak. you believe yourself above most of the morals of the populace you live among. not because you're arrogant but because you've seen the worst and you know you're not THAT. you could never be *that*. you love to give people compliments, love to make people feel that there's still something worth living for. you fight for the world that never fought for you, because you want to be the person no one was for you. a hero. but even heroes need to rest.

#no colors we die like women #but OMG ??? STOP IT!!!!!! STOOOOOPPP ITTTTT #PLEASE I LUV THIS ??? IT'S SO TRUE ???? #honestly i can only see “that” as being claw & Shou's father cuz that's #that's LITERALLY what he compares himself and his morals to ????? ahhshahshajs #“What Im doing is the right things cuz Im not doing what they're doing” cue to all his immoral bs #bro im gonna die #ショウ ; attack is the best defense! / dash games.

CHARACTER INFO SHEET.

NAME: Suzuki Shou. 鈴木将。

NAME MEANING: 鈴 ; bell. 木 ; tree/wood. 将 ; leader/highest commander. 

ALIAS: Leader; given to him by his lackeys, pronounced in english, in katakana. 

ETHNICITY: mixed white/asian (japanese.).

THREE HEADCANONS YOU’VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE:

☆ > Shou took out an entire Claw division not long before the 7th division was destroyed, the details are interesting. 

☆ > Shou, for the most part, has a good head on his shoulders, he can figure out difficult situations, he can't be tricked with ease, he can keep his cool and his mind gearing through stress. But he is also quite the forgetful person, and has troubles concentrating and a tendency of zoning out when his guard is down. It's a mix between his nature and the effects of insomnia. Cue to education problems. 

☆ > This one is a little less personal, but Shou starts school after the first winter break after Claw is disbanded, a couple months before the events of confession arc. It sits things nicely in my brain I hope you can see my vision. 

THREE THINGS YOUR CHARACTER LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:

Taking care of his hamsters, sketching whenever he has the chance, and after Claw gets disbanded he gets a severe case of wanderlust. He didn't have a lot of free time, back then. Despite traveling a lot, it was all for organization purposes, so it's no wonder he wants to explore a lot of places on his own, without anyone bossing him around.

SIX PEOPLE YOUR CHARACTER LIKES/LOVES:

♡ > Toichiro: that's his father, yes he might have been a neglectful, abusive and downright terrible father, but between the monster and the self-proclaimed world dominator and terrorist boss- he was family and good, at some point, and even now he's working to change and become better. And Shou loved him, still loves him, despite everything. ( yes, love can exist in an abusive relationship, no, it doesn't make the abuse any less terrible. )

♡ > Natsumi: Shou's mother! Although their relationship got strained by years of estrangement and lies, Shou recognizes how much his mother is trying to mend and do her best for his sake, and she really is trying her best, dealing with the aftermath of Claw and all the legal issues and stress while beginning to truly know who her son is and love him fully, powers and complicated past and difficult traits all together. 

♡ > Fukuda: Shou's "babysitter" ever since he was 10 going 11, he took care of Shou throughout some of the most difficult times of his days in Claw, healing his injuries and keeping him company and looking after his health when Shou's father was away traveling and his mother was nowhere to be found. Even trying to teach him whatever education he missed ( despite eventually giving up ). Shou & Fukuda share a very strong bond, but there are times when their personalities clash and their differences get between establishing something unbreakable.

♡ > Higashio: The last addition to Shou's resistance team. Despite not having been around since long, his collected attitude and absent-minded wisdom made him so much of a teacher to Shou, with the lessons being on life in general and a whole lot of street smarts and high culture. Higashio may not have been the strongest psychic out there, but he has Shou impressed more often than not with the simplest of things.

♡ > Ritsu: RITSU !!! Shou's first friend, Shou's best friend, his ride or die, his person his special guy!!!!!!! What they have is beyond your comprehension.

♡ > Ootsuki: First assigned as a bodyguard slash "attack dog" for Shou by his father, the two didn't get along so well at the beginning, with how Ootsuki's time at Claw was especially difficult and all the resentment he held to the Suzuki name. Eventually, Ootsuki began to see Shou for his own admirable person and not just a spawn of the Claw boss. And being the youngest in Shou's resistance team, they understood each other best, made a pretty strong and well coordinated duo in fights, too. 

TWO THINGS YOUR CHARACTER REGRETS:

> Not having acted sooner before his father's plan started.

> Acting against his father ... to begin with. Shou would never admit that to anyone ( sometimes not even himself ), but there are times when he sees himself and others he cared for struggling to live after Claw is done, and it all comes down to him and his resistance.

TWO PHOBIAS YOUR CHARACTER HAS: 

Agoraphobia ( trapped; helpless; panicked; embarrassed; scared. ) , Pyrophobia ( fire/burns ). 

#Shou's given name literally meaning leader vs his men actually calling him that for a meaningful worthy reason...... #hi welcome to more nonsense with peach. i love making shit up for shou. wth. #ショウ ; i realized that youth is grey. / headcanon. #ショウ ; attack is the best defense! / dash games.

ONCE STRIPPED CLEAN, WHAT'S AT YOUR CORE ? 

warped metal. 

it's not working out the way you want it to. no matter how hard you try to look scary, the very picture of karmic retribution, your efforts will inevitably fall short. you're out of place here, a broken doll and a used marionette. there's nothing to gain in pretending you can't be hurt like anyone else. there's nothing to gain in pretending you aren't human, that you're made of twisted steel and distorted memories. embrace your humanity. embrace your vulnerability. give in to trust.

#HELP ???????? #ok first off wow he got the 0% result this is a first #AND THIS IS SO ?????? KILL ME ALREADY. CAN I DIE #this IS GOOD !!!! #I'll go to sleep feeling insane BYE #ショウ ; attack is the best defense! / dash games.

[espectres]

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT FROM LOVE?

joy.

you want the uncontrollable giggles, lighthearted kisses on noses, cheeks and foreheads. dancing to bad radio music in your underwear at 11am after a movie night that ended too late. it’s the same song you screamed along to in the car when you looked at them and realized for the first time that you fell in love with your best friend and you see it in their eyes that they feel the same. you’ve decided that life is too short to spend it loving what doesn’t make you happy.

WHAT'S THE KISS TROPE IN YOUR NARRATIVE?

The Now or Never Kiss.

The Last Kiss ? No, it's not the last, but the characters don't know that. Death appears imminent — the temperature is rising, the room is filling up with water, the plane is about to hit the ground, the rope they're dangling from is about to break and drop them off the cliff, the room is on fire and the door's locked, the world is coming to an end... The point is, this is no place for unresolved sexual tension. The Not-A-Couple don't want to go out without revealing how they really feel. It's now or never. They kiss. This can also be 'Now or Maybe Never' kiss; one or both are heading into danger, or likely-potential death.

#YEAH ?????? #THIS IS SO SHOUCORE .... #CUTEEE #ショウ ; attack is the best defense! / dash games.

WHAT FICTIONAL HOUSE ARE YOU ? 

The house on Ash Tree Lane (House of Leaves)

A house, but not a home. Not a haunted house, but a house that haunts, creeping into a seemingly-normal home, filling each silence with its dark, ancient presence. A house within a house; a corruption within both the structure and the family that moves in. The house on Ash Tree Lane has a hallway extending back into a place that should, by all accounts, simply be the backyard. The house on Ash Tree Lane contains matter older than human civilization. The house on Ash Tree Lane has a staircase with a well measuring deeper than the width of the Earth. It is unexplainable. Unfathomable. Unheimlich- the German word for uncanny, translating more directly to “not like a home”.

#OH THIS ONE IS GOOD !!! THIS ONE IS SO FUN !!!! #and literally perfect suzuki fam vibes. omg im speechless #it's the superficial normal vs wait there is something Deeply Wrong going on. #THAT'S THEM that's their life that's their home !!!! #and thus by extent it's Shou too #ショウ ; attack is the best defense! / dash games.
