Serious question.
Do you think we’ll see the parents/family of each of the guys???
Like, We’ve been TEASED with Ace’s brother, that I’m starting to think it’s just a reference to that Alice in Wonderland park character in Japan and nothing else….
Jack’s family, Ruggie’s grandma, Falena, Maleficia, Ms.Rosehearts, Just now Vil’s dad is in the picture which I am really happy but now I’m wondering about his mom, and so Deuce’s mom.
I mean, some HAVE a silhouette!! It could mean they do have a design in the making/ready to show. They could’ve shown us Falena in the Tamashina (hope I said that correctly) event, but didn’t (prolly to make Leona not so σ(▼□▼メ) and it’s understandable)
Anyhow, any idea/headcannon about this? Who do you want to see first?
I'm wondering if everyone might eventually get a travel event? like they've now introduced with Vil's that it doesn't have to be specifically hometowns, so that opens things up a lot! (especially if they have to figure out how to do three separate Coral Sea visits) (how would that even work otherwise)
but yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance! there's a lot of backstory characters I would LOVE to meet. :D :D :D though I do think some of them don't really suit the more light-hearted tone of the events (pretty sure you're right about that being why Falena wasn't in Tamashina-Mina, that would've just been. too much for Leona.) so like...we're probably not ever going to meet the Rosehearts. or Maleficia (although I maintain that this would be THE funniest possible way to introduce her outside of the main story, and actually I would love this a lot, can we please Twst) (I need to see her to put Malleus in a froofy little outfit and tell him what a handsome boy he is). but they've sprung surprises like Kifaji on us, and honestly anyone who shows up and tells embarrassing stories about characters' childhoods is good in my book!
characters off the top of my head who I most want to meet: literally any of the Zigvolts, Azul's mom, Ace's brother, Che'nya's grandfather (<- I think he would be a good one for Riddle) (please just any non-terrible adult in his life), any member of Rook's family because I need to see how they managed to produce him, and...really just whoever they can come up with for Silver.

↷ ˊ- heian era/human! sukuna x f!reader
a/n: “sukuna didn’t have a WIFE AND KIDS when he was human–” okay but what if he did and it was you
curses run rampant in the countryside. they play tricks and cause trouble, kill and eat people for sport, and strike fear in those unfortunate enough to see them. they have quite the reputation, but to sukuna, they’re a nuisance more than anything. like a bunch of maggots in rotting rice. easy to kill, quick to spawn. guess it pays to be the strongest around here. he’s never been the patient one between the two of you though, and right now, it’s never been clearer than day.
to paint the picture, your little family is currently on a journey westward. you knew the day would come, considering the poor farming techniques your husband insisted on using, plus the enemies he’s been making as of late. it simply became unsafe to stay at the old house, so you left. only after many hours of traveling did sukuna tell you to stay put so he could build a fire pit, because god forbid that he let you wander around on your own with an infant of all things.
you agree without complaint and even joke about keeping everything warm until he returns. he doesn’t find it funny, but his sense of humor is practically nonexistent so you don't take it to heart. his patience is definitely waning though. with your husband gone, you entertain yourself with many things. you hold your baby and pinch its cheeks, cooing. you pull out a book from your pouch for some light reading. you even sneak into your husband’s things for your small biwa he had kept hidden.
sukuna groans when he sees you with your instrument, but he doesn’t stop you from playing. tolerating it instead, he throws everything to the ground and makes quick work with his hands. he digs a trench a couple inches deep and makes a triangle with three dry branches. it’s not too small. just enough to support the tinder. then he spends the next few minutes building a support with stones and twigs. you think that he’s doing a great job at making a fire and maintaining his composure, but you’re quickly proven wrong.
“quit playing that damn biwa, woman,” sukuna barks, turning over his shoulder to glare daggers in your direction. “might as well ask a fucking curse to join us for dinner while you’re at it.” he resumes his work and grumbles angrily to himself, probably cursing yours— and his— descendents. unsurprised by his temper, you sigh and cease your actions. although his strength is something you can count on, you know how sukuna feels about wasting energy on weak curses. the biwa is put away and you return to your baby.
building the rest of the fire pit doesn’t take long. once finished, you watch sukuna stand over the trench and make a gesture you’re familiar with, muttering a few words under his breath. something manifests between his hands: a small flame. he leans down and holds it against the wood until it catches. sukuna beckons you over then. “you’re getting better at that,” you muse as you approach, cradling your now-sleeping baby. when you settle on the grass, sukuna merely huffs and pulls you close. “i better be.”

In that vein (hah), I just have to take a moment to gush about the costuming in The Lost Boys because. Have you seen the costuming in The Lost Boys. Like each costume standing on its own without anyone in it still gives you a sense of a whole character, which is important because some of these characters don't get, uh, lines. We have to be able to distinguish them immediately by visuals, and the thing is, we can, because they're not just dressed to look attractive, they're dressed with the purpose of establishing character.
Like, consider Michael. They kept it very simple for him, on purpose, he's a regular everyman kind of guy thrown into a Situation. But also, he's trying too hard. The white t-shirt, jeans, and leather jacket call back to James Dean, Rebel Without A Cause, but the leather jacket's brand new without a scuff or a crack, not broken in, and it sits uncomfortably on his shoulders. The earring doesn't suit him - it belongs to somebody else, a funhouse mirror version of himself that he's tempted by, but also it literally belongs to somebody else. Who gave him that earring? Star's implied to have done the piercing, for him, which also tracks - the earring's a little piece of someone else, someone darker and wilder, that's been dug right down into his flesh by his association with Star. It's tasted his blood.
It's also a little piece of the boys' uniting aesthetic bleeding over onto him. There's a magpie sensibility to all of them, but then each of them are visually distinct as themselves within it.
Star's clothes have 80s cuts but form a 60s hippie silhouette, solidified in time. She's the most colourful of them all, her white tops signifying a flash of innocence, but at the same time as she climbs on David's bike, she pulls on a big black jacket that almost envelops her, a little piece of his shadow falling over her and devouring her light. Again, it doesn't quite fit her, like she's playing dressup as a darker, wilder self just like Michael is.
And speaking of David. That boy is chin to toe wrapped up in black. The coat references batwings, which is a great detail. And those gloves! He doesn't touch Star; he doesn't touch Michael; he doesn't touch the world, except through a layer of darkness. It's real Old West, white-hat-black-hat level symbolism. Except.
The real villain of the piece isn't the dangerous, sharp-edged boy in black - although of course you need to look out for him, they don't call him 'dangerous' for no reason. The real villain of the piece is the most perfectly conventional, middle-class, unassuming, don't-look-twice take-him-home-to-mother normal guy imaginable. Grey and beige. Business casual.
It's the perfect camouflage for a predator.
(And then also like. I can't wax as poetic about it right now because my brain cells are otherwise occupied. But please consider how much character is there in, like, the Frogs' army-surplus duds and Sam's terrible, incredible shirts.)
