I just finished reading just now despite already having this on two browser tabs because I'm forgetful 😂😂 I'm sorry!
This fic caught my eye because Saginuma and Genda are the combination I hadn't thought before, so I'm glad I read it because it gives me new perspective about their characters!! I love it, I rewatched Neo Japan mini arc last night before I continued reading
“Why do you hide them?”
Genda just sighed - deep and tired and pained - and Saginuma remembered the segment on the news. Beast Fang. He shivered at the thought.
“It’s… a painful reminder.” Genda held a tight grip on his comforter, still it did nothing to stop the shaking of his hands. “Just something I’d rather forget about. …It’s shameful.”
Saginuma blinked at that. He couldn’t think of a world where the proud “king of keepers” and “shameful” could exist in any proximity to each other.
Although, he remembered catching glimpses of Genda looking down at his hands with disdain in the short moments he had to himself during training. Saginuma had always chalked it up to frustration at his injuries, but hearing that word come out of Genda’s mouth recontextualized it.
His heart felt heavy at the realization, imagining their otherwise proud keeper carrying that feeling of shame. Something about it felt absurdist, like Saginuma was starring in a comedy skit written by someone who expected him to believe that Genda Koujirou had ever felt flustered or humiliated in his time on Earth.
Or, Saginuma sees Genda’s scar, and shows him his own.
being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"
Goober stickers I feel like sharing cause i love how scrunkly they look (ft. Dirty table but we dont talk abt that.)
the thought of kidou being an adoptive father makes me laugh a lil because huh.... so just like his father 😭
this is unless the partner is a uterus haver and they're willing to bear child but kidou just doesn't strike me that he would do that. he will adopt regardless to give an already existing child a family
nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer

My Ina11 powerscaling opinion is that I actually prefer if Genda was in Ares timeline's Inazuma Japan instead of Saginuma.
Like I admit Genda is my goat; but also narratively Neo Japan in original timeline happened because Saginuma was very very frustrated he wasn't even chosen as tentative rep, after Epsilon matches motivated him to get stronger; which didn't happen in Ares so I think Genda being chosen instead of him makes better sense plot-wise... though I'd feel a wee bad on Sakuma if it were the case
