PINNED POST

Context for my blog:

I started this in 2020 following an intense hyperfixation based around what I dub the 'Kemamoto-mura gang': Keizou/Nathaniel, Fumiaki/Kenny, Yukiko/Lucy, Mariko/Kelly and Fuyunyan/Hovernyan - my main blog is @tousakamis , and my ao3 is @makochiu ! (with this in mind, please note many of my posts and older fics were written in 2020 and a lot has changed since this initial hyperfixation, but I keep things up for archival purposes!)

I often refer to characters with their Japanese names because I got into the franchise when the second games had only just released in Japan and thus the Japanese names just sort of stuck in my memory, but I will always respond to their English names (and for some characters I swap between the two)!

Beyond the Kemamoto-mura gang, my favourite characters are the Koma brothers, Hanako Noroino/Foiletta, Touma Tsukinami, Buck and Hailey-Anne!

I colloquially dub the 8th of February as 'Fumizou Day' as it was my first public post about the two characters which remain the center of my hyperfixation, so if anyone sees me talking about this please know it's more of a personal tradition than anything else - though, if anyone ever wants to join in even if it's just a singular post, I'd be absolutely honoured!

While I do have posts exploring headcanons for the Kemamoto-mura gang on this very blog, it's been roughly four or five years since I first made those posts... I don't have much faith in 14 year old Alina to effectively demonstrate my headcanons and choices for this group of characters, and so I wanted to make a post offering quick summaries and explanations for anyone who may be confused or curious as to my choices.

I know as well that I am definitely not the spokesperson for these characters nor am I the only one to have headcanons for them (I might jokingly call myself the Fumizou CEO but that's been a running joke since I was once again 14), so please know my ask box is always open for people to ask questions and discuss/debate/share headcanons. This doesn't just count for the Kemamoto-mura gang either - while they are 100% my niche in Youkai Watch, I have a lot of untapped love for other characters and I'm always open to any questions or discussions!

Headcanons below:

Nathaniel Adams:

12 years old, lives by himself

Depending on the work, his parents are either wholly absent or only his mother is present - his parents are depicted as neglectful in my later works and his mother is depicted as abusive in earlier works (this, I will admit, was reflective of my youthful amateurish writing). This plays on the fact that in the whole second game, there is no mention or recognition of Nathaniel's parents being present or caring for him and it can therefore be presumed that Hovernyan is his only real support system. I often play on this as reason for him being very independent and determined to be a hero, because while it is canonically due to wanting to defend friends, I also like to factor in that he may feel as if he is all he has to rely on.

He can be quite snappy and rude, which leans close to canon, but I like to show him as being quite mellow or childishly playful around Hovernyan in comparison to others due to their closer bond

Kenny Forester:

12 years old, lives with family and moved to Kemamoto-mura at age 12

Can see youkai if he is a companion to Nathaniel and not the grandfather role - I wanted to play on the fact that he is Katie's grandfather and if you play as her he is gifted with that bond with youkai, and the fact that both Guts F and Guts K exist in later games such as Youkai Watch 3 rather than just Guts K being the 'correct' grandparent. Therefore, whether he has the watch or not, I wanted to write him with a unique bond with youkai either way; otherwise, what is the point of such a cute medallium entry? ("He was a boy that loved Yo-kai so much that he became one himself. That love still spreads through hundreds of Yo-kai friends.")

Friendly, playful, polite and enthusiastic to befriend Nathaniel, though... I try to write this in a way which makes him feel just as mysterious and confusing as it does friendly and endearing. In every work of mine, I try to give him this somewhat unsettling and confusing air - like, why CAN he see youkai, why is it that in every universe par the canon one he is drawn to the one boy destined to create the youkai watch, what is his whole deal? I want it to feel as if his existence is an unanswered question sometimes, but Nathaniel is too happy to just have a friend that he doesn't pry. I guess this plays into the fact that he's, in itself, an alternative universe watcher and he doesn't exist in what is classified as the 'correct' universe with Nate as the protagonist? Therefore he's not really meant to exist in Nathaniel's universe anyway, but despite that, he perseveres.

He and Kelly are the two characters which veer most into OC territory as I wanted them to feel different from Nathaniel/Lucy, but I do try to lean into canon elements of his personality as well, like the way he bickers with Nathaniel and a passion for moxie/guts and stuff like that

Lucy Adams:

12 years old, Nathaniel's neighbour and childhood best friend

She remains fairly close to canon in all my works - a sweet, friendly girl that sticks close to Nathaniel and teases him just as much as she cheers him on, also with a weirdly unexplained bond with youkai (because loving a watcher does that to you!)

However, in quite a few of my works, I try to play around with her character since she and Kelly don't have all that much in canon to work with in the first place - I like to show her matching Nathaniel's adventurous spirit and fierce moral code of defending people, for example. I want to explore her more, so perhaps I'll update this in future with more little tidbits about her character?

Kelly Forester:

12 years old, Lucy's classmate who has lived in Kemamoto-mura her whole life

I headcanon her as a trans girl with a fierce defensiveness over Lucy and a playful one-sided rivalry with Nathaniel which usually just leads to banter and teasing. Her transness is, in part, a headcanon which stemmed from my own untapped gender issues as a teenager, so it's one of those which has just always stuck because while I'm transmasc, having a character to weave the beauty of transness in youth into is very meaningful to me :-)

In my works she and Kenny... don't really interact that much? This was a completely unintentional thing, and while it definitely brings up questions of continuity in the grand scheme of things (like how tf does Katie exist), we ignore that. I'll probably play around with their bond more in my works! She and Kenny are the ones that feel most OC-like but I try to draw on canon alongside headcanons LOL

Hovernyan:

Nathaniel's best friend and youkai companion through thick and thin

One of my favourite things to do with Hovernyan is place that silly, bantering and ridiculous side of him shown in the movie and sometimes in the games next to a wistful, deep, brooding wanderer with a lot under the surface (which is brought to the light because of how a wandering spirit stayed stagnant for his human friend). He and Nathaniel have a bond which is rich in potential, namely in the forms of angst, and I like to play on the fact that they both adore each other and bring out the best in each other when they play around but also that underlying awareness especially on Hovernyan's side that their time is limited and Hovernyan just wants to care for Nathaniel and keep him safe while also not messing with fate too much.

Therefore, he will sometimes go on wistful, deep analysis's of his friend in my fics, right before going back to banter and teasing. I like to position him as a more logical and 'intelligent' figure than Nathaniel but also demonstrate that he, too, is just a silly goofball underneath that guise of put-togetherness

fav authors? they can be fanfic or actual books, and it can for any genre -hairbrush anon

btw I just copy and paste the dis of the stories  

-actual books I like 

(girl love) Girl Friends (the complete collection 1) by Milk Morinaga

When it comes to grades, bookish high school student Mariko Kumakura is at the top of her class. Socially, however, she is shy and lonely, typically eating lunch by herself. Enter the charismatic and beautiful Akko Oohashi, whose goal is to befriend Mariko and burst her out of her introverted shell.

In the process of transforming Plain Jane Mariko into one of the cutest, most popular girls in school, deep feelings begin to emerge that suggest something deeper than friendship. Will these feelings destroy the budding relationship between Mariko and Akko, or will it turn into something else?

(girl love) I married my best friend to shut my parents up by Kodama Naoko

Morimoto, a young professional woman in Japan, is tired of fending off her parents’ questions about her being single. They want her to marry a man and settle down, and they’ll insist on nitpicking her choice of groom to death. In an unexpected move, another woman in the office—who has a crush on her—offers to be her wife in a sham marriage, which might make her parents back off. But this “fake” marriage could unearth something very real!

(girl love) RoadQueen eternal road trip to love by Mira Ong Chua

Leo’s the hottest senior at Princess Andromeda Academy, and her adoring fangirls have one goal: beat her in a road race and win the chance to date her! Unfortunately for them, the only thing Leo loves more than breaking hearts is her faithful motorcycle, Bethany. But when a mysterious girl named Vega takes Bethany away, Leo finds her heart may have been stolen, too.

(boy love) Escape Journey by Ogeretsu Tanaka

Naoto and Taichi's turbulent high school love crashed and burned, but a reunion in college puts love back on their radar.

Naoto and Taichi's first try at love during their high school days crashed and burned. Years later the two unexpectedly reunite on their first day of college. Tumultuous love often burns hot, and the glowing embers of their previous relationship reignite into a second try at love.

It's Naoto's first day of college, and the last person he expected to see was his high school ex Taichi, whom he'd dumped after a huge argument. Even though years have passed, Naoto finds he's still steamed over some of the harsh words that were exchanged, but he also recognizes how much Taichi has matured since then and can't help getting pulled back in. Will the discovery of his friend's crush on Taichi fray the fragile threads of this mending relationship?

Amazing Fanmade CM

The only form of support from Rena to Jurina.

And that’s through a fanmade video. I think this is truly brilliant, and fits the tone of the Sousenkyou!

Not only that, whatever Rena is saying seems to be very relevant too (if I’m not mistaken that is).
