what are your voice hcs for the yttd cast?
hope these work!! i ended up adding in a few unrelated headcanons, and it’s like 1 am so i only got to the main cast. if you want me to do any of the dolls lmk :)
Sara: I’ve heard a lot of people say she’d sound like Mahiru Koizumi, and I honestly agree with that, but I think her voice would be deeper. I hc that she was one of those girls with an unusually deep voice when she was younger and got teased for it a lot. Now, though, she takes advantage of it and uses it to be more intimidating during debates and arguments.
Joe: Okay so once I saw a post where someone hc’ed his voice as sounding like Shaggy and another one where someone proposed it would sound like Kazuichi so honestly I’m gonna go with something between that. His voice would be sort of deep but I could also see it as having a dopey quality to it. He probably just talks in a joking or exaggerated tone so frequently that it’s become normal for him, and only a few people (such as Sara and Ryoko) have heard his voice when he’s not intentionally making himself sound ridiculous. 
Keiji: He just has a really deep, calm voice- think Rantaro or Ryoma. Johneawesome’s voice for him works really well, too. He can count on two hands the amount of people who have told him he should start an ASMR channel because of how soothing his voice is. Usually I’d say that Keiji is probably detached enough from the internet that he wouldn’t know what ASMR is, but I think he’d stumble across it while looking for techniques to combat insomnia and quickly develop a liking for it. Now he listens to it every night because it helps to keep intrusive thoughts and guilt away, to some extent. He’ll laugh whenever people tell him he should start a channel of his own, but he’s secretly considering it.
Kanna: Her voice is super sweet and gentle, leaning towards the quiet side. Sort of like Chiaki’s, but not quite as high pitched. I think she’d really enjoy singing quiet songs and lullabies; her family members tell her she has the voice of an angel, and they’re right! She’s probably sung to baby cousins to calm them down before, and when it actually worked she got super proud of herself.
Q-taro: I’m boring, so he has a Southern accent, but in more of a smooth country singer way than a yeehaw way. He has very mixed feelings on songs about trucks. 
Shin: Okay, so... once a friend and I were having a conversation about him and we proposed that he had the stereotypical “I’m Bri ish” accent. HOWEVER, it only comes out when he’s panicking or is otherwise overemotional. Nobody really seems to know where he developed it, but they just kind of accept it. (this is a joke but i’m going with this hc because i find it funny). Otherwise he just kinda sounds like a normal dude, though his voice is a little bit higher than most. 
Reko: I can’t really think of anyone to compare her to, but her voice is pretty rough, a little deeper than Sara’s. She has a lot of range, though; when she’s singing, she’ll typically go a lot higher, to the point where she’s screaming, but when talking will usually stick to lower tones. In fact, when she’s angry, she’ll go really deep and nearly snarl at people.
Nao: I don’t really know how to describe it, but I think that in normal times Nao has a really steady voice. It’s not exactly quiet, but it’s very gentle and has a certain degree of confidence to it. When she’s anxious, though, it skyrockets in pitch and becomes a lot more trembly. I’d imagine her not really liking how she sounds when she’s anxious, but her frustration only ends up making it worse. (reko, on the contrary, thinks she sounds very sweet and intentionally makes her flustered so she can hear the anxious voice).
Kai: He has a very quiet, musing voice, reminiscent of Korekiyo’s but a bit more muted. I can see him enjoying poetry, and he’ll often read poems either to himself or others because the words flow off his tongue in such a satisfying way. Perhaps he used to read bedtime stories to Sara when she was younger and it nurtured a love for reading because of how fantastic the stories sounded in his voice! (this is sort of unrealistic but let me have this headcanon, maybe she was young enough that she wouldn’t remember him hfbdfhbdf). He’ll rarely ever raise his voice; rather, when he’s angry, it drops its lilting quality and becomes a lot harsher.
Gin: I think he’d sound sort of like Masaru Daimon; he’s just a very energetic and enthusiastic little kid. I also think his voice would go a lot higher for the “meows” and a lot lower for the “woofs.” He’s been practicing and perfecting his animal sounds for a long time and he’s very proud of how they currently sound; it’s somewhere between enunciating the word and imitating the actual sound.
Alice: God, every time I imagine his voice, I can’t help but think of Gundham Tanaka if his voice wasn’t quite as deep. Just… a very overdramatic, theatrical voice that he often puts on to intimidate people. His voice will go to a very high-pitched “EEEE” type scream if he’s ever startled, though. 
Mishima: I just hear his voice as the typical “evil scientist” voice. Perhaps his, like Joe’s, was developed over time because his students joked about his appearance and he, being the good-natured teacher that he is, went along with their jokes. It’s rubbed off on his normal speaking voice quite a bit, but when he’s tired he drops the act.

A Crushing Revelation - Ch 2
“She just acts super-different around me. Nothing like how she acts with everyone else. It’s…odd.”
“Oh Kitty,” she said turning to look at him with a sort of pitying humour in her eyes, “you really don’t get it, do you?”
“Uh, no,” he said rolling his eyes at her, “That’s why I’m confused.”
Ladybug held her smirk and sighed, putting her face in her hand for a moment before lifting it again and giving him a piercing look that said to take note of what she said next, that it would be important.
“She has a crush on you.” ______________________________________________
Adrien has often been confused by Marinette’s odd behaviour around him and Ladybug can tell when something is on Chat’s mind so he decides to confide in her as vaguely as possible. Marinette might not recognise herself but she definitely recognises the signs of a girl in love. How does Adrien react to the new realisation that one of his closest friends likes him as more than a friend? And what will he do with this information when Ladybug points out that it seems like he likes her too?
Read on AO3 or FF.net         <<Ch 1     Ch 2     Ch 3>
Chapter Two - Adrien is in Denial
“She has a crush on you.”
“Wut.”
“She has a crush on you.” Ladybug's words continued to echo in his head.
Chat stared blankly at her with wide-eyed confusion. His eyes burned but he couldn't quite bring himself to close them. He searched for something to say but all of the eloquent words his brain usually contained seemed to slip away from him as he grasped out at them, like tadpoles swimming hastily from the net that was intended to catch them.
“Uh sorry, did you say...did...WUT!?”
He finally blinked as Ladybug began to guffaw at his lack of articulation and slowly came back to himself a little. He snapped his gaping mouth shut and his eyes narrowed. He wrinkled his nose as he tried to think of a good retort for such an obvious joke as it seemed as if she was just trying to make fun of him. After all there was no way Marinette was crushing on him. That just...wasn't possible. This wasn't his Lady's usual brand of teasing though and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed by her laughter.
“I said,” Ladybug said interrupting his thoughts, “she has a crush on you. It's so obvious, don't tell me you haven't even considered it.”
“She does not have a crush on me,” he huffed at her and gave her the dirtiest look he could summon, which wasn't all that convincing. Despite how she was always accusing him of being an alley cat, he was actually pretty pathetic at throwing shade. “She can't,” he insisted when she didn't seem all that convinced, “she doesn't act anything like the other girls who do have crushes on me.”
Her eyes sparkled frighteningly and a teasing smirk returned to her laughter flushed face. Oh no.
“Oh, so there's more than one girl you know who likes you? With your horrible flirting and terrible puns? Really?”
“Hey!” he said indignantly, “I'll have you know that my devilishly handsome face has many admirers. And my flirting and puns are a meow-sterpiece!”
She scoffed at that and pulled her legs up from where they were dangling over the edge of the building to sit facing him, crossing her legs once she was comfortable.
“So how do your admirers act then?” she cocked her head to the side as she awaited his answer, humour evident in her expression.
“Why?” he asked hopefully, “Jealous?”
“Dream on Minou.” She rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and dropped the smirk to give him a confused half-frown. “If you're so sure this girl doesn't like you because she doesn't act like the others, it makes me wonder how the other girls act. I mean, if it's made you so oblivious-” she raised an eyebrow and her mask creased with the movement, “-to teenage girls and how they usually act around boys they like, it's got to be good right?”
“Oh.” he mirrored her and raised an eyebrow back in her direction, but he guessed there was no harm in telling her about Chloé or Lila, as long as names weren't mentioned. They were the only two with crushes on him who had actually spoken to him for longer than about five minutes. He was sure there was plenty other girls who were crushing on him from his magazine spreads but he didn't know any of them personally. They probably just thought they knew him from interview bios and whatever crap his publicist put on his official social media accounts. To be honest, he found that a little creepy.
“Um...” he cleared his throat loudly as he began to feel really awkward. He was discussing other girls who definitely liked him with the love of his life. He glanced down at his knees and scratched at the back of his neck. He gave his leg an experimental kick over the edge as he considered how to phrase his thoughts. God this was weird.
“Well, they-they're all over me.” There. That was the gist of it wasn't it? But she was just staring at him, waiting for more. He took a deep breath and tried to ignore the heat he could feel across his cheeks. “They get all touchy-feely. Linking arms with me, grabbing my hand when they talk. Obvious flirting, like heavy flirting. Pet names for me-” he grimaced and glanced up to meet her eyes nervously when he heard her chuckle, “And getting in my personal space. And it's pretty obvious someone likes you when they make a big deal about wanting to kiss you. In front of everyone.” He added the last part as an afterthought as he remembered Chloé's many attempts.
It was that same last part that had Ladybug scowling angrily. It made his heart soar sweeping into his throat like a wave had engulfed it. He wondered if this was finally a sign of the green eyed monster? Was she finally starting to get annoyed by the idea of someone else trying to lock lips with him? He smiled toothily and watched her lips purse as she prepared to speak. Her screwed up face reminded him of when Plagg got a particularly foul piece of Cambert too close for comfort.
Meanwhile Ladybug's mind was whirling unpleasantly. She wasn't liking the sound of this. To her it seemed like these girls were just trying to show Chat off as some kind of trophy, or make it hard for him to say no when so many people would be there judging his rejection.
“That sounds more like them trying to guilt you into a kiss than genuinely caring about you as a person,” she said, “That's not very nice. Most girls might think of getting a kiss as a big deal but they'd try to downplay it in case they scared you off.”
He frowned at her words and tilted his head in confusion, cat ears pricking up like a curious kitten. That definitely didn't sound like something Chloé or Lila would do. They didn't seem to know how to do anything without drawing a crowd. They were 'centre of attention' type girls.
“Really?” he asked, “Not in my experience.”
She glanced down and gently bit at her bottom lip as she contemplated how to explain what she was thinking. His eyes immediately caught the motion and stayed rooted to her mouth, eyes mesmerised and chest tightening. He sensed her movement a half-second before she looked at him and glanced up, not wanting to be caught staring.
“Chat, I think you're right in that these girls do like you...but I think you're overlooking that there's other ways for girls to act when they have a crush too. These girls sound like they're very confident when it comes to, well, acting on their feelings. Not all girls are like-”
“But the other girl,” he exclaimed suddenly, “the one who acts weird, she's really confident!” His voice had become desperate and high pitched again. He could sense how serious she was now and the thought had him somewhat panicked. There was no way Marinette liked him. Not someone he was such good friends with. None. Right?
“Around everyone except you!-” she extended her index finger and gently prodded him in the chest as she spoke, “She doesn't have a handful of people she acts differently around from what you've told me. She's just insecure about how she acts around you. The one person it matters most that she looks good around. It makes her shy and unable to think straight. And the more she likes you the odder she'll act.”
Chat stared straight ahead, unblinking and wondered if his stomach had jumped off the Palace without him. Maybe it had leapt up into his chest instead? Was he still breathing? He had to remember to breathe. He felt light-headed. This couldn't be true. Marinette...had a crush...on him? Marinette!? Eyes wider than they'd ever been, he launched himself to his feet and took a step away from his Lady in disbelief, nearly stepping to the wrong side and slipping off the edge of the Palace in the process.
“No! No-no-no-no-no! That's not possible!” he told her, hands coming up to grab fistfuls of his hair right beneath his cat ears, “She doesn't act like she likes me, she acts more like she's embarrassed! She doesn't want to spend time with me on her own, it makes her freak-” his hands dropped as did the pitch of his voice as he started to come to a shocked realisation- “ooouuuuut.”
He glanced at Ladybug as he dragged out the last low word of his outburst and recognised the sympathetic look she shot him as one she often used whenever he was feeling down about himself and needed the comfort. He shrieked embarrassingly, a hand flying to his mouth to smother the sound. He could feel his cat ears and tail standing perfectly upright and shuddering. He started to wobble, his knees feeling like they were about to buckle beneath him.
“You okay?” she asked.
“Just...need a minute,” he told her, both hands suddenly covering his face, “Maybe a week.”
He abruptly remembered how Nino had acted when he'd had admitted to having a crush on Marinette. He'd found it strange but funny that his friend had suddenly been too frightened to go anywhere near her without lots of prompting and had completely lost his ability to talk coherently around her. Why had he never managed to make a connection between his best friends behaviour towards someone he knew he liked and a girl who acted the same way towards him? And oh God, that day, she'd seemed super excited when he'd asked her to meet them at the zoo on Nino's behalf. And she'd seemed very eager to know where he was when Nino had shown up alone. Had she thought he was asking her? Her behaviour was slowly starting to make sense a little bit at a time.
Marinette liked him. Marinette liked him.
She always seemed embarrassed to him because she was always blushing. She was blushing because she liked him. She freaked out about being left alone with him. She was freaking out because she liked him. She stammered and mixed up her words. Because she liked him. Marinette had feelings for him, and apparently it had been obvious.
He let out a whine. “I'm such an idiot.”
He dropped his hands, shoulders drooping with the movement. He slumped back over towards the edge and sat himself down cross-legged in front of Ladybug, head bowed low. All those weird comments Alya and Nino always made that he didn't understand were suddenly making a whole lot of sense. They knew. And they knew that he had no idea. They'd been teasing Marinette and they'd done it right in front of him.
“So...just how weird does she act? Scale of one to ten?”
Wow. That was a pretty open question. He lifted his head a tiny fraction and looked up at her through the hair that had fallen into his eyes, trying to use it as a shield against the inevitable taunting to come.
“In comparison to what?”
“To whatever is normal when she's around everyone else.”
He groaned. “Oh God. We're talking an eight or a nine. Maybe just starting to hit a ten.”
There was an aborted snicker from her and he noticed she'd clamped her lips together in an attempt to keep her giggling silent. It was somewhat ruined by her shaking shoulders.
“Oh just get it over with,” he mumbled, lifting his head and glaring at the tower in the distance behind her in a childish attempt to avoid her gaze.
“This girl loves you, Kitty!” She exploded in a fit of laughter, doubling over to hug her arms and leaning her elbows on her crossed legs as she howled through the tears quickly collecting in the corners of her eyes.
He screwed his eyes shut. His Lady wasn't perturbed by this in the slightest. On the contrary, this was giving her a ridiculous amount of joy if her unladylike snorts were anything to go by. Well, maybe it was just too much to ask that there would be something for him to tease her about in return.
“I don't see what's so funny about this.” he told her when she had started to relax somewhat and had begun wiping her eyes and face.
“Oh Chaton, it's hilarious. This girl might potentially like you more than any of these other girls and you had absolutely no idea. Especially since you say she didn't like you at first. You must have done or said something when you fixed it. Something so huge it made her start fawning over you right away.”
When he'd given her his umbrella, he realised. He'd poured out his soul to her trying to explain that it wasn't him that had placed the chewing gum on her seat and that he just wanted to make friends like everyone else. He'd been so sure that baring his emotions so rawly would help her to realise he was sincere, but it hadn't occurred to him she might become enamoured with him because of it. And he'd given her his umbrella because she had to walk in the rain and he had a car waiting for him. He didn't mind getting a little wet if it saved her from getting soaked. In hindsight he could see how that might be something that would make somebody a little infatuated. Oh God, she'd stammered when she'd tried to say goodbye that day.
“I thiiiiiink I know when that was. Now that I'm thinking about it,” he groaned again, “What am I going to do?”
Ladybug looked at him, no longer laughing but a large grin still planted on her pretty face. “Is she cute?”
“What!?”
“Is she cute? Pretty? Totally disregard the fact that you know her or whatever you feel for her. What do you think of how she looks?”
Was it usually this warm outside at this time in the evening? He swore his face felt sunburned, and he was half expecting his mask to start smoking. Ladybug leaned forward to examine the pink flush dusting his cheeks and it bloomed darker than before, this time due to her proximity.
“Why Chat Noir, are you blushing? I would say that means you do think she's a pretty girl.”
“What!? I don't–I mean, yeah she's pretty but–that's not why-that is I-I don't-I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!” he stuttered out. She was so close, too close and this line of questioning was so unbelievably awkward. His stomach was fluttering as if a swarm of akumas were taking up residence there and he clenched his fist, his claws pricking into his palm as a distraction from her radiating body heat.
“Why not?”
“What?”
She leaned back again and he exhaled, not even aware he'd been holding his breath until then.
“Why don't you think about her like that? Have you ever even considered it? 'Cause if you have and then decided you don't like her that way then that's fine. But if not, how do you really know you don't like her?”
“But surely if I'd thought about it at all, it would mean I liked her? Wouldn't that be like admitting that the person I love isn't-I mean, there's only one person I want to think...” he trailed off suddenly, becoming aware of what he was admitting and who he was admitting it to. He cleared his throat loudly and tried to pretend he didn't see the way Ladybug's brow furrowed or her eyes widened as she started connecting the dots in her head.
Ladybug tried not to think too much about the implications of what he'd said combined with the way he'd trailed off like that. Maybe his slight crush on her wasn't so slight after all, given the way he seemed nervous about how he'd mentioned it. And he'd used the word love so casually. It wasn't his usual style to say something like that so seriously, it was mostly flirty teasing or over-exaggerated devotion that made her feel it was a bit of a joke to him too. She's have to be careful now not to be too harsh in the way she turned down his advances from now on.
“So,” he said suddenly, clearing his throat and trying for a light-hearted, somewhat embarrassed tone to lighten the awkward mood, “how do you even go about acting around someone you know has a crush on you? You know, when they have no idea that you know?”
“What?” she said looking at him like he'd just handed her an octopus suddenly and without explanation, “Just act like you always do. Why would you need to change?”
Because I don't think I'll be able to ignore her acting weird now that I know why.
