Wow. Oh my wow. Yes. Anon – this is a brilliant question, and I think you might be leaning a certain way, and would like to know my opinion on it… and I’m hoping we are in agreement here. Because hear me out… (also this turned into a shitpost and I’m sorry I couldn’t stop myself)
THEY WOULD HAVE SUCH A DEEP APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING FOR EACH OTHER THAT THEY MAY HAVE AN INSTANT SOUL CONNECTION
Here’s how it goes down:
1. BOTH THEIR LORDS CAUSE THEM HEADACHES. Like, smh… can you just hear them both complaining about it now?
Kansuke: Milord Shingen WILL NOT take his medicine. I don’t understand why he has to pretend to be such a big tough guy, when in reality he has the worst case of manfluenza to ever be recorded.
Kanetsugu: Oh, you think that’s bad? Try having to run an entire clan by yourself while simultaneously running an adult day care because everyone here is just… so infantile, on top of the fact that I actually HAVE a child to raise! WHO, might I add, would probably do a better job at running a clan than the man I actually serve.
2. BOTH THEIR LORDS CANNOT KEEP IT IN THEIR PANTS. (a continuation of their conversation is as follows)
Kansuke: Fine, okay. I’ll give you that Milord Kenshin has a tendency to ghost out on you, but MILORD SHINGEN will not only NOT take care of his health, but whether he’s ill or not he cannot spend a single day without his dick in something. He literally brings women in to sweat out his illness. If he would just TAKE the MEDICINE that I so PAINSTAKINGLY MAKE…
Kanetsugu: Interesting you say that, because Milord Kenshin cannot stop himself from taking every pretty little thing and wanting to pollinate with it. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to literally stop him from trying to fuck a flower, and yes… I’m serious… and also, he seems to find beauty in everyone and everything so I’m just… It’s a madhouse here.
*both sigh and sip their tea, shaking their heads*
3. BOTH OF THEIR LORDS ARE RECKLESS WHEN IT COMES TO WAR AND DEATH.
Kanetsugu: Also, there’s the whole God of War thing – Milord Kenshin really takes it quite literally and like… just… wants to get drunk and and fight people? If that man dies, what will I do with my life? I have invested so much time and energy- I really should have gone into accounting like my parents suggested…
Kansuke: Hey man, at least you had a choice. With my profession I literally HAD to take this job or die, so I’m now protecting the Tiger of Kai who wants to take down Oda Nobunaga and gain as much territory as possible under his own rule. This is insane. I can only do so much, while also trying to be invisible. They don’t pay my village enough for this type of abuse.
4. AND YET DESPITE IT ALL, THEY BOTH LOVE THEIR LORDS WITH ALL THEIR HEART.
Kanetsugu: *sighs and stares off into the garden, watching Kenshin and Shingen frolicking along the lake* I really shouldn’t be here. There are better things for me to do, but for some reason… I really love that stupid flower man.
Kansuke: I know what you mean. I would die for Milord Shingen. I don’t even know why I’m saying that, but… *shrugs shoulders* It’s just… there’s something about him, man.
Kanetsugu: *nods, then pauses, and looks up at Kansuke. Frowns thoughtfully* You know, you’re not so bad yourself. It was very nice having someone to vent with… you wouldn’t happen to enjoy a flask of sake together while our idiot sons, I mean, lords, try to kill each other over there, do you?
Kansuke: *produces flask and drinking cups from seemingly out of thin air* I thought you’d never ask.
Kanetsugu: *blinks* Uh… I was literally about to get up and get us some but… wow?
Kansuke: *hands him a cup* It’s a ninja thing. You’ll get used to it.
*both clink cups and toss back sake, sighing and smacking their lips at the same time. Shingen and Kenshin’s squeals of delight can be heard across the castle grounds*
so yes, anon. I do think they would get along. I think this would be a lovely friendship, and can see it continuing on into the next life in the modern au epilogues with their lords as well. ❤ thank you for asking and I’m so sorry it took so long to answer!!!
CAN WE JUST HAVE A MOMENT TO TRULY APPRECIATE JUMIN HAN.
This boy is precious. Not just when he’s in a romance, either. No matter how tsun-tsun he is about how he doesn’t really care it’s a stRAIGHT UP LIE.
He doles out paid bodyguards to every member of the RFA at the drop of a hat every time they’re in any kind of danger at all. He’ll send his drivers out for people if they need something and not even snark about it.
When Zen is self destructing and Jumin is hurt and angry with Zen’s behavior and insistence on a rivalry he’s not interested in, he still goes out of his way to protect and help Zen, shields his privacy, bends his rules, and even hunts Zen down to help him out of his funk.
He is protective of the MC even when he’s not in love with her, and asks her to call him at any time if she needs anything.
If you regularly call the characters because you have all the call cards… do you know who answers the most and at the most random times? It’s not your routemate. It’s not Zen who adores you regardless.
It’s Jumin.
Call him at 3 in the morning. He’ll answer while he’s doing paperwork. Call him in the middle of the day and he’ll complain to you about the work he’s stuck doing. Call him when he’s gone away to his quiet place to get away from everyone else and all the noise, and he’ll still talk to you. HIT ON HIM LIKE THE THIRSTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD and he’ll just politely brush it off and keep chatting with you.
He never says “I’m too busy to talk to you stop calling”, he’ll just do his business while talking to you between it. You don’t have to pry into his heart to befriend him, he’ll cheerily suggest you join him in teasing Zen when he barely knows you. He’ll also offer to let you meet Elizabeth when you’re practically perfect strangers.
This dude doesn’t know the MC on most routes. He has no reason to humor her about anything not to do with the RFA. He claims he doesn’t like chit-chat. He still answers her and entertains her.
He doesn’t approve of Yoosung’s behavior at all and is disappointed completely and yet he is earnestly willing to give Yoosung a job at his business as soon as Yoosung is out of college. Zen keeps rebuffing him coldly without explanation and yet he’s absolutely willing to prop Zen back up again and use all of his connections to help Zen reach stardom if Zen would just let him.
AND WHEN YOU’RE ON HIS ROUTE.
there’s almost no time he won’t answer the MC. Even when he won’t answer ANYONE he’ll almost always answer the MC’s calls. He’ll call just to hear her voice and admit to not knowing what to say. She practically only has to ask him to do something and he’ll relent immediately.
And while he’s paranoid in his route, keep in mind the MC is actually the safest of all routes. Because for all of his paranoia he’s literally actually protecting her from dangers all the other RFA fail to.
AND
AND
As dedicated as Zen is, as much as he professes endless love for the MC, as much as he says he cares more about his love than his career, there is no time in which he chooses the MC over his career. There is no timeline where he abandons acting so he can be with her. There’s not even a timeline where he refuses to hide her even though it will stall his acting career. Even in the good ending where he reveals her, he later signs a contract that says he needs to keep the MC on the downlow and not be seen with her in public. Again, even in the ending where the MC is emotionally and verbally abusive to him and he just bows his head and takes it because he needs to be with her, he is still acting. He hasn’t even quit acting with female leads that make her jealous!
Jumin, on the other hand, will literally just quit his ludicrously expensive job without the MC so much as whispering a suggestion of it. He just wants to be with the MC more, and he’s sick of his job interfering. And in the ending where he doesn’t do that, he announces her publicly, marries her publicly, and gets angry with his work when it forces him to be away from her too long.
He runs himself so ragged forcing and slamming through his work in time to get home for Valentines day that he practically collapses from exhaustion once he gets there.
Zen might make fun of him for being so sure that he’s dedicated to the MC more than anyone else…
but boy
that’s because
Jumin is.
He’ll give up Elizabeth for the MC if she asks. He’ll keep Elizabeth if the MC asks him to. When he’s out working, all he thinks about is the MC and everything he sees reminds him of the MC.
He will worry excessively over everyone in RFA, MC included, even when he’s not in love with her. He’ll tut and play father role for Yoosung and for MC (spamming the chat with “I don’t agree with two people living together unmarried” in Zen’s route), he’ll worry over Seven and support him even when he’s savagely smacking him down over Elizabeth.
He gives Yoosung a reward when Yoosung doesn’t expect one!!
He’s SAVAGE
He’ll just keep making jokes and stupid puns until someone (usually MC) laughs about it and have no shame
HE READS THE MC A BED TIME STORY
THIS MAN
PLEASE APPRECIATE THIS MAN
Im sure I reblogged this once, but I’ll reblog it each time I see it on my dash.
Trying to make myself prepared for QN live by watching the PV. Bad decision.I repeat, bad decision. I’m starting to get emotional over their PV. Whelp. QAQ
