#i dont think langa would be able to help reki get through this as he is now yk

[ozzy-bozzy]

Hi! I love your writing style and was wondering if I could request something? (I’ve never requested anything so idk if I’m doing it right 😔)

If you’re able to (I completely understand if you can’t!) can you write something for Langa or Reki with a s/o with OCD tendencies?

I completely understand if you can’t!

hello love! Your request s just fine, you did splendidly for your first request!! (hope to see more soon)

enjoy!

Just like with an s/o that rambles or fidgets i think Reki wouldn’t pay much mind to any of it

If anything you help educate him a bit more beyond the stupid stereotypes the world knows about OCD

I feel like he knew that it wasnt just being a ‘clean freak’ or that it wasn’t as simple as wanting to keep your room organized

But that it was an actual disorder that was stressful and occupied a lot of your life

And Reki’s there to help comfort you when things get bad

He’ll be there to help remind you that the world isn’t ending and that the two of you can work through problems together

Reki also understands just saying that won’t help fix anything or change how you’re feeling so he’ll try and portray it through his actions to help get the message across

Might try and help you find different outlets to keep your mind occupied and busy

He’ll of course try out skating bc cmon its Reki, but he’s worried it might make things worse and doesn’t want to add to your pile

Buuuuuut he’s also aware of the possibility of it making things better

He has a long talk with you about it

Boy is concerned!!

Always looking out for you

Google always on hand to try and learn more in order to help you

He’s somehow both very prepared and also somehow not at all?

He’s a mess but he’s a put together mess

And this mess is going to be with you for every little step because all he wants to do is support you in any way he can

I feel like Langa’s mom keeps him educated and open minded

Not that he rlly needs help

Just that I think she’s the kind of woman to be very into the news and keeping up with the social world and talks to him a lot about it

And Langa's been all over the place so he’s already rlly open minded

And if you talked to him about any OCD tendencies you may have he doesn’t even think twice about it

Already looking for ways to help accommodate to you to support you in any way he can

If that’s surprising or anything and you tell him how important that is he’ll be confused??? Like lmao why wouldn’t i support you you’re my significant other i love you tf

He helps remind you of anything you might forget, helps others understand what you may be feeling or experiencing

His touch is also very light and gentle and if you’re having a bad day he’s there to comfort you so goddamn much it’s almost suffocating

It’s not just the hair i swear but the fact that Langa gives off such comforting and playful blue vibes (dont ask idk if i can explain it) makes him just so much more friendly

Im a Langa kinnie dont @ me

You’ll have to explain things to Langa too btw

He may be very open-minded and such but he’s still a very confused boy and doesn’t always take in his surroundings

Pls walk him through things hes gotta let his brain process things

But in the end Langa would be very supportive, dare i say more than Reki, but pls tell him what you need he cannot read a room to save his life

I love them but after Reki, Cherry and Tadashi feel like the most infantilized characters in Sk8 fanon. Cherry's anxiety gets written like he's just a baby when it can make him kind of high strung and mean in canon, and Tadashi is written like a perfect nice guy when his own issues were part of why he misunderstood Adam too. He's either a battered wife or a saint instead of someone who also has issues, not just Adam.

Yeah usually I'm of the mindset that people can hc whatever they want but the infantilization of people with mental illnesses is honestly disgusting.

I see it more often if Cherry and Reki but I have seen Tadashi be taken from someone who is of the belief that his opinion doesn't matter and that what he says isn't relevant and instead give him the decision making capabilities of a child and it is annoying.

Seeing Reki and Cherry be reduced down to people who cannot function due to their anxiety is annoying. Cherry needing Joe to take care of him at every waking moment is honestly exhausting to read. Reki needing to be coddled constantly by everyone around him is also a headache to read. Both characters are very largely independent. Reki appeared to be quite alone before Langa showed up and Cherry most likely wouldn't allow himself to be coddled. If he could have walked after getting hit by Adam I'm sure he would have and flipped Adam off before walking to the hospital since he would probably rather have that then Joe carry him to the car and Shadow take him to the hospital 😂

It is crazy how I see Cherry and Reki having to be coddled by others in fics when I would take their characters in the opposite direction. I am of the belief that both of them are self destructive to the point where they won't accept help (especially Cherry) until they are talked into it or it is forced upon him.

Cherry appears to have attachment issues. When I headcanon a Canon compliant Cherry I can see him able to explain all his mental illnesses down to a tee and explain where they stem from and as such believes he is capable of navigating things on his own. He built Carla so he is able to function on his own and he probably sees his over reliance on Joe’s company as a burden. When he is sent to the hospital his anxiety probably overrode his rational thinking and that is how he ended up at Sia La Luce. I think he is beginning to make progress after this though and finds himself able to properly rely on Joe without it feeling like he is being a burden and leave Carla behind for Shadow to use.

This is just a very quick explanation of how I see Cherry’s development. I could go into this because we all know how much I adore Cherry.

Then there is Reki.

Reki was alone before Langa shows up, and he is the oldest of his siblings. I didn't touch much on Cherry’s communication issues but Reki definitely has communication issues too. He wasnt able to communicate with Langa how he felt until he was overwhelmed and then after their fight he avoided him.

Instead of either character being coddled it is clear to me that both of them would rather be on their own then "burden" people with their problems.

Now let's talk about Tadashi.

I adore Tadashi.

The end 😎

I'm kidding.

Tadashi, as I have viewed him, is a victim of abuse. He worked at a young age and the only relationship we see him form is with Ainosuke who would also go on to become his boss. It is clear to me that something happened between his childhood and adulthood that resulted in him feeling/believing his opinions and what he has to say doesn't matter.

Regardless, Tadashi isn't perfect. None of the characters are! When I read fics that happen post ep 12 they often write him as being able to navigate not only his own issues but also Adam’s and to that I say: bullshit.

This guy does not know what he is doing with himself nevermind Adam.

I dont like Tadashi being used as a tool to progress Adam’s mental health. Not when they both clearly have some shit going on.

As for the "battered wife" comment. I dont read fics where Tadashi is being abused. They aren't fun for me to read because they are most often written by people who don't consider Adam’s mental health either. I think it is extremely out of character for Adam to ever hurt Tadashi if I'm being honest (especially post ep 12). Yes, Adam has a twisted vision of what love is but I just can't see him physically harming Tadashi.

This was all very quickly written out. I could delve deeper into any one of these characters, but this is getting long... so don't infantilize people with mental illnesses please lmao. (I dont think anything is Canon confirmed although it feels like it is very clearly implied through them, especially Cherry and Reki).
