Um... karotsamused? permetaform?

..so I woke up this morning with a tiny baby Aoyama wandering around in my head, getting to know the place and...

He asked me a question...


WHERE THE HELL IS AKAGI'S FAMILY? Everyone else has one! Is he all alone in the world with no one to be proud of him but his team and... Shirota?


DAMN IT ONE OF YOU WRITE ME SOMETHING!

SEE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT WHEN HE WENT OFF ABOUT "HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A REFUGEE??" I THINK AKAGI WAS BACK WITH THE FIRST ATTACK I REALLY DO.

[permetaform]

::NODS:: LOST AT LEAST ONE PARENT; METAPHORICALLY LOST THE OTHER PARENT PERHAPS LIKE THAT GRANDPARENT WITH HIS HETERO-WIFE IN THE KYOTO EP. THE PARENT PROBABLY ALREADY THINKS AKAGI IS DEAD, WHICH, REALLY, DOES HE HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO FEAR?

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

OMG HE'S LIKE ROY CROSSED WITH NARUTO OMG OMG WTF?!?!

[permetaform]

XD BEAUTIFUL SENSE, INNIT?

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

Wait a sec, Perma knows it too? Sweet!

Also. Obviously he's tragically familially deprived, due to being the central character of a mostly shounen show.

That, or they've formally disowned him but are still on friendly terms, mailing him once every two weeks and calling every couple months, at least till the attacks picked up, at which point they began calling during each attack because he had to have gotten that rotten timing from somewhere, right? Right. He doesn't answer the calls or really realize they're happening most of the time, the girls at the office field them for him and are on first-name basis with his parents, who send them small fruit baskets for the holiday of their choice.

They're very proud of their son, yes, in that abstract way that parents who don't really get what their children are up to are. Last they checked he was a nice normal office worker, and now he's saving the world. The connection goes a bit over their heads.

They are, however, completely up-to-date and in touch with their dear boy's love life, more so than he is most of the time. This is also due to the girls in the office. They think Shirota's a nice sweet young man and send him chocolates because Akagi surely isn't taking good enough care of him to do so.

[permetaform]

Shirota shares the chocolates with Akagi, 'cause it's probably only fair. (He secretly hopes that Akagi'll sugar crash...)

(...it's not the first time that Shirota was wrong.)

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

By this point, Shirota's not sure what is most unfair: that he got cheated out of watching Akagi sugar crash or that Akagi got to watch him crash. Or that his stomachache still isn't gone and Akagi never got one, even with a stomach full of alcohol/chocolate cocktail. Or that Akagi's parents sent him chocolate - c/o the office girls - in the first place.

Or that he's dead certain it wasn't Akagi who told Akagi's parents that there was a Someone who should be sent chocolate.

That thought melts into the warm from Akagi leaning against his shoulder which abruptly morphs into warm (sick) in his stomach and distracts him. By the time he's successfully quelled the gag reflex, he's remembered he's not surprised that it's not fair.

[*whine* FIX IT I DIDN'T ASK FOR THE ANGST IT JUST HAPPENED.]

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

AND YET I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT AKAGI HAS NO PARENTS AT ALL NOPE NONE OR WE WOULD HAVE SEEN THEM HE WOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THEM AND BRAGGED AND PROBABLY HAD TO KEEP HIS MOM FROM DECORATING HIS PART OF THE MECHA

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

No, this is where the 'disowned him on friendly terms' comes in.

Though I haven't completely ironed that one out yet, give me a minute, but he's insistent that's what the situation is. *nod*

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

See, no. I just don't see it. I mean, why bother with "friendly terms" if you're going to disown your kid? There's nothing in it.

Really, I'm with Karot. Probably killed by the Hederodine or some other random type event.

Besides, the canon is so complete, it pays so much attention to the details of the characters. It would just be sloppy to leave them out if they're still around. In any capacity. The one thing I'm willing to conceed (considering that we only got one season) is that there's potential for dead parent emo that just never really got touched on. Not yet. *nod*

[karotsamused.livejournal.com]

But Akagi DOESN'T emo. He has too much to fight for. In that sort of way, he's like what Naruto would be when he grew up. And um. Roy now.


HE IS A MIX OF NARUTO AND ROY OMGWTF OW OW OW MY BRAIN.

Also, is it terrible I have a really tiny Shirota who likes to hang out with Kakashi? They have a lot in common... Eh heh

[permetaform]

nope, not terrible. But the porn collection in your head will grow?

[karotsamused.livejournal.com]

*COUGHS* Heaven forbid Shirota ever meet Ken, nor Kakashi meet Akagi. Things would be SO DANGEROUS OMG XD

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

XD

Because that's totally what we need. ...though. Um. Hey, those pilot chairs look pretty roomy, don't they? :D

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

I NEED AN ICON WHICH SAYS QUITE CLEARLY

DOT DOT DOT


HEH!



And yeah, no emo, but... motivation? Like why he joined up, you know? It's got to be more than just giant robot anime that got him going.


OMG IT WAS THE OLD RAMEN STAND GUY WHO USED TO WAX POETIC ABOUT HIS GLORY DAYS DRIVING A TANK AND HOW ONE DAY THERE REALLY WOULD BE ROBOTS AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE THAT OMG OMG :D :D :D

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no. I think family would be too important to him to make that kind of thing happen.

Besides, my Akagi firmly holds to the fact that if he's going to end up the happy wack job that he is, he'd have to have and equally insane family. There no WAY they'd let him pull a stunt like that. I mean, it'd be like Roy kicking the posse to the curb. They just wouldn't let it happen.


I think he just doesn't have family at all. And if to get ride of the hederodyne-death idea, it's just as possible he's simply an orphan. There are plenty of people with no family for perfectly average reasons.

[karotsamused.livejournal.com]

See, I have to stick to the guns that say Akagi doesn't emo and would refuse to because a) it hurts the team and b) it's nobody's business but his own. He may have been orphaned in the attack and raised by the city, for all we know. But he speaks like a refugee and his insistence on taking care of refugees and victims implies that he was one. He's a good person, but he feels like he's been there.

Plus that, Disownment On Good Terms is, to me, something one only does when one's a superhero. Insurance isn't covered by his family anymore - he's an adult, and his company trained him. To pilot a sales gimmick. The heterodynes were on nobody's plans and Akagi never goes to any parents to talk about it once they start showing up, so the time frame for any potential disownment doesn't work.

And I don't think Akagi could possibly detach himself like that. There's no way.

[permetaform]

::blink:: oh hey. What if he tried to convince his remaining parent that the other one is dead? Resulting in a, "omg not speaking to you again" sort of thing?

[permetaform]

...SO DAI-GUARD'S COLORSCHEME WASN'T HIS MOM'S FAULT? XD I'M BETTING IT'S EITHER HER OR DOMEKI.

[permetaform]

...I sorta wanna vid DaiGuard to Cake's Love You Madly.

fuck.

the middle two verses doesn't work, so I would be cutting them out.

::headdesk::

Ibuki and Aoyama:
I don't want to wonder
If this is a blunder
I don't want to worry whether
We're gonna stay together
'Till we die

Akagi:
I don't want to jump in
Unless this music's thumping
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards
When the elephants arrive

All choruses are their love for Dai-Guard, their friends/family, their city.

Akagi:
I don't want to hold back
I don't want to slip down
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I
Should have done

Shirota:
I don't want to doubt you
Know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you
Wishing I could run


::sigh and woeface:: I don't even know how to properly vid comedy yet.

...

::WOE::

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

OMG I AM REMINDED THAT I WANT YOU TO VID TO FROU FROU'S COVER OF "HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO"


XD


... I'm also totally willing to help with the vidding any way I can, even if it's just having somewhere to bounce things off of or beta-type things.


I'LL GET ON GMAIL CHAT IF YOU WILL

Tell if you want anything else. ^_____^

[permetaform]

AND....WHOA, COOL SONG. This is not as sharply Dai-Guard for me, I got to think on this...this might actually work, but I need the right angle on it.
