Unrequested gender headcanons

I'm interested in seeing some content for the Toa Nuva, especially during their time on Mata Nui. Feel free to include any and all of the Toa, as well as the island's Turaga and Matoran! Mainly I'm interested in exploring the fraught, tension-filled relationship between the Toas of Water, Ice and Fire. Rereading the novels makes me feel as though they're stuck in some sort of love triangle! Of course, I'm also happy to see them as simple brothers/sister with a side of possessiveness.

Why is Tahu so protective over Gali? What is it about her that makes Kopaka feel like she can see right through him? Is that why he's uncomfortable around her? Whether it's the usual bickering, or hurt/comfort after battle and injury, I'd love for you to delve into their hilarious dynamics some more. If you're comfortable writing them with romantic undertones, I'd be happy with any pairing! The opposites, water and fire; the compatible water and ice; the frenemies fire and ice; or, if you're up for it, all three of them together...?! What will it take for the jealousy over Gali to die down? Does she ever grow fed up with their tempers and bickering, fleeing to her other calmer brothers?

Tahu's poisoning by the Rahkshi and subsequent healing by Gali has to be one of my favourite all-time moments. The way they restrain him to the slab of rock! Force their energies through him while he screams! (I wonder why Lewa was able to wield his magma sword...) How Kopaka gently catches Gali as she collapses afterwards! Anything along these lines (or taking place around this time) would be amazing :D

I'd love to see some background relationships and/or friendships going on too if you would like to include more members of the cast. Kopaka & Pohatu, Lewa & Onua, and Lewa & Gali are some of my favourite friendships to see (but this is by no means an exhaustive list)! In terms of relationships, I also enjoy (and feel free to write them as simple friendships): Onua/Pohatu, Vakama/Nokama, Jaller/Hahli/Takua (Takanuva), Hewkii/Macku, Matau's one-sided flirting with Nokama, and if you look at the expanded universe, Axonn/Brutaka.

Optional Prompts

Daily routines protecting the Turaga, Matoran, and their respective Koros. Learning to live in tandem with the Bohrok. Fighting Rahi. Searching for Kanohi. Peaceful times playing kolhii and experimenting with their elemental powers. Terrible bickering that splits the Toa apart right before times of crisis.

If you'd like to revisit the events of the Mask of Light and fill in some missing scenes, that could be very fun! Maybe it's Tahu's meltdown at the loss of Ta-Koro post-poisoning. Or, the healing scene, expanded? More Gali and Kopaka interactions afterwards? I'm also happy to see any kind of canon divergence.

The Kanohi Nuva hunt in Kini Nui was such a great set-up for Gali, Tahu and Kopaka interactions! If you have a take on it, or would like to write something similar, I'm all for it!

I’ve gotten very hooked on solving these daily puzzles, all because of this crazy entertaining detective/inspector pair. I love the contrast between Logico’s and Irratino’s approaches. Every Sunday ~~date~~ night brings me such joy! I’ve only been playing since May, but I'd appreciate any references to puzzles I have missed.

I’m very much into dynamics involving detectives and their partners (Holmes/Watson style or otherwise). I also dig ships with a lot of pining and cluelessness on at least one side. The juxtaposition of “logic” vs “occult” is very fun, and produces some great arguments over which one is best. Despite their disagreements, they still enjoy each other’s company (whether platonic or otherwise)! <3

I live for Sundays nowadays when we get date night! Pasta dinners, math lectures and bar visits are very much them. I also look forward to Logico’s surprise and anger over Irratino’s death (which he’s so distraught about, he can’t even clue in that it’s fake…). Otherwise, I enjoy the concept of Irratino’s occultish hints and the fact that Logico needs them in the first place :D Also, Irratino’s smugness if you make the wrong accusation is hilarious.

I enjoy Logico’s ‘logical’ personality, and how it often falls apart when it comes to Irratino. Especially his distress at the weekly deaths, and how he’ll support Irratino’s occult endeavours despite not believing in it himself. He might describe Irratino as “his old rival, antagonist and friend” but his affection certainly runs much deeper… as evidenced by the fact that he notes down astrological signs on his note cards despite not being a believer. I find it funny how he encounters deaths everywhere he goes – he’s like the classic shingami character.

I’m intrigued by Irratino’s choices in faking his death weekly to get Logico’s attention. He’s coming on to Logico so strongly! Why won't Logico notice him?! I love the image of his long hair and slight stature – I wonder if he ties it back regularly?

For these two, I‘d love to see an exploration of their backstory: how they met and/or fell for one another, how the "dates" started, what led to Irratino’s death faking, etc. I’m also very interested in their respective headspaces, particularly when it comes to logic/occult and their feelings. It would be hilarious to see the reactions of their coworkers, the daily criminals (“murdlers”), and other bystanders to their unique dynamic (and if you go that route - about their ridiculous flirting). I’m convinced they must be close enough to go on holiday together, because how else would Irratino be around to provide his hints all the time?!

I’m more interested in a practical take as opposed to a magical/fantastical one (say, where Irratino is actually dying every Sunday) for this exchange. Of course, feel free to play up the occult-ish canonical elements - such as locations (ex: the Old Ruins).

Optional Prompts

Just a series of scenes where everyone’s constantly thinking or saying “why aren’t they together yet?/are they dating?” Alternatively, Irratino consults coworkers/suspects/bystanders about how to properly ask Logico out. Does Irratino construct a grid? Is Logico still clueless, or has he actually known/reciprocated all along?
The first time Irratino fakes his death. Logico’s grief. (Also: how did Irratino develop this scheme? For attention? Is it an inside joke these days? Is he doing it to try and awaken Logico's latent feelings for him?)
One day, Logico is fed up of yet another fake Sunday death. The fallout is disastrous. Based off of the "Surely, this time he wasn't faking it. That would just be too much." line.
For once, they find themselves in a REAL life-threatening situation! Is one of them savvy in self-defence?
- For shipfic: I’d love for this to lead to a confession scene, romantic hurt/comfort or even sex
Getting trapped by a bad guy and forced to have sex, oh no!
During one of the recent Sunday Murdles, Irratino’s body was found in the spa. I have to assume this means he was discovered in the nude… Logico reacts.
Create a new weekly date night! How does it go? Do they get embroiled in a murder case while out? Are they together or is this a friendly date? Are both parties looking for more? Do they get intimate afterwards?
Every time one of them attempts a confession/new date/proposal (etc.), a new murder occurs in their immediate surroundings. No wonder they're so cranky!
Logico and Irratino have yet another debate over grids versus tarot cards. How long has this argument been going on - years? Decades??

If you’re looking for more material from outside canons, I love mystery series (ex: Detective Conan, the complete Ace Attorney series, Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, etc.), so feel free to draw upon those worlds/ conventions or even create a crossover if that’s helpful! No pressure to go for casefic, however.

If you're interested in including some worldbuilding:

As mentioned above, I'm interested in exploring the eccentric cast and locations Murdle introduces. Are prison sentences ridiculously short in Murdle-world? Is Logico aware of the ridiculous rate at which the criminals he catches re-offend? Is there corruption everywhere, and does Logico just never draw attention to it? What kind of police force do they have, for rational Deductive Logico to be widely renowned, and Irratino just as much (especially since they seem to constantly travel together and consider the other a "rival")? Is there some massive conspiracy going on to mess with the legal profession? What happens in their courts, and what is up with that high-end, luxurious prison we visit every Sunday?!

The Forensics team of Murdle must be very interesting... from "made of live animal" to "a red drop was found wet", they always come to the most "special" of conclusions. What are they like, and how were they trained?

Hiraga Josef Kou
Roberto Nicholas
Hiraga Jin

Any subset of these characters is OK!

DNWs

Amputation & permanent loss of body parts (eyes, teeth, limbs)
Gore and horror beyond canon-typical levels
Graphic depictions of extreme torture
Implications of Hiraga (Josef Kou) or Roberto having (past/present) romantic relationships outside of requested characters
Unrequested gender headcanons

I love this wacky cast of crazy sweethearts from the bottom of my heart. I enjoy reading about them in all settings — from solving crazy mysteries to (rare) quiet, domestic settings. Of course, feel free to throw in some canon-typical horror/violence/insanity along the way. I wouldn’t mind some darker fic (along the lines of mutual non-con, injury, death) or some emotional breakdowns and tears. If offscreen, I can deal with canon-typical levels of (body) horror. On the other end, I also love domestic fluff for the whole Hiraga (+ Roberto) family! Hurt/comfort is very suitable to this canon, as is any degree of angst. I also enjoy AUs, whether they be canon divergence only or things like Soulmate AU/Omegaverse. In other words, anything goes!

I enjoy how this series is intellectually stimulating (I'm a huge mystery fan!), while balancing out domestic fluff, existential angst, and whump. Roberto’s arc (the Sofuma trip) is probably my most favourite arc ever, and I knew from the moment it wrapped up that this fandom would become a lifelong obsession. Aside from the two protagonists, my next-favourite character is Hiraga Jin (Hiraga’s father).

P.S.: I’m both an anime watcher and a novel reader, and so I would be delighted to see anyone from the extensive cast!

I adore how the Hiraga - Roberto pair interacts, how codependent their dynamic is and how much they care for one another. Miscommunication (and pining, if you see it that way) is par for the course with them, despite being literal supergeniuses. I’m very into the contrast between the two: Hiraga’s innocence and naïvety versus Roberto’s maturity and jadedness, the size difference and contrasting specialties, their colour schemes, and more. Go wild with anything - crazy cases, danger at the Vatican, relaxing days off, breaking vows…

I love how Roberto is such a mess (said with affection). He’s book smart and super capable all around - a true Renaissance man - but he somehow turns into an absolute idiot when it comes to his own safety and just everything Hiraga. He might as well walk around wearing a giant sign saying “Hiraga is my biggest weakness. I would break my vows and die for him” in flashing neon lights (though he wouldn’t because what a terrible aesthetic that would be). Hiraga would also not survive without him, since he basically runs Hiraga’s domestic life. I enjoy how he cooks as stress relief and relentlessly chases after knowledge. I’m smitten with his self-destructiveness and self-hatred. Roberto whump scenes will never not be my favourite!

Hiraga is also a genius mess, without the same deep self-hatred. It’s inspiring to me how he always thinks the best of people and has love for literally everything. His faith is beautiful, and his admission that he would cast it aside if Ryouta died is also very telling. I suspect he is somewhere on the spectrum, as many geniuses are. Watching him hyperfixate and constantly fail to read the mood is always fun (sorry, Hiraga). Though his character has developed from how he was described in the first book, I’ll always be attached to the portrayal of him as constantly anxious and worrying about doing mundane things correctly. While being an absolute domestic mess, he would do anything for Roberto. His multiple attempts at proposals (matching brain scans, renovating his house for Roberto, searching for new recipes to try) are hilarious and make me feel a little bad for him sometimes. I adore how clueless and protective he is at times. If he ever lost Roberto, I’m certain he would fall deep into a dark pit of despair…

For a more romantic take

In terms of their ship dynamics, I'm fond of seeing their canon-typical interactions taken to the next level. Seeing Roberto in a caretaker/service sub-type role is always fun, and so are Hiraga's clumsy attempts to do something nice for Roberto (especially when Roberto is already healed by his mere presence)! I enjoy explorations of tension wherein they're hovering on the verge of something deeper, and would absolutely love to see them break their vows outright and go for it. Also, the aftermath of said happenings is incredibly juicy, no matter where you take it!

My favourite canonical shippy moments include: the mouth-to-mouth when Hiraga feeds an unconscious Roberto water (only seen in the Sofuma novel as all the adaptations chickened out of portraying it -__-); The Suckening Scene & Roberto’s awakening; “I’ve come to love you more and more!”; anytime Roberto saves Hiraga, particularly when he’s using his body like a meat shield; when Roberto tells Hiraga that “you’re my life’s treasure”; Roberto’s many Hiraga hallucinations; Hiraga falling apart when Roberto gets kidnapped and crying; casually giving Hiraga a piggyback or carrying him on his shoulders COMPLETELY NATURALLY IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE; every single cooking scene and exchange of casual touches… There are too many to list them all!

If you’re up for writing penetrative sex (for these Catholic priests, I know), I lean heavily towards bottom!Roberto, but have no objections about switching! I have a slight obsession with seeing Roberto cry during intimacy. I’m also very into the ‘super-handsome-intelligent-attractive-brilliant-Roberto-is-a-virgin-gasp!-no-way’ thing. For this exchange, I'd prefer for them to be each other's firsts, without any prior romantic or (consensual) sexual experience. Having past non-con is totally fine, however (e.g. abuse by clergy members in childhood).

On Hiraga Jin a.k.a. Hiraga's absentee father

I’m obsessed with thinking about the Hiraga parents; specifically, Hiraga's father Jin. For anime-only watchers, they hardly have any presence in canon beyond being established workaholics. The novels outline a few extra details here and there. From what I've read about him, Jin is a musician who travels a lot for work and seems to have a good sense of humour.

I spend way too much time dwelling on bereaved Jin, how much he must miss his wife, and how he must always think about her wisdom & pray to her for advice. He has so much potential for storytelling - given how special and precocious his children are, what must he, as their father, be like (Or did it all come from Ada, their mom)? Did he have his own adventures back in the day, or even now? Is he like Roberto at all in terms of personality? I'd love, love to see them interact, whether it be one-on-one or with Kou and maybe Ryouta around.

While I mainly ship Hiraga/Roberto and Jin/Ada, I would love to see a take on Jin/Roberto (especially if it involves mutual non-con, Galdoune...) Other things that I'm completely comfortable with receiving include: one-sided Ryouta pining after his brother and/or Roberto, very intense and ambiguous-in-nature feelings from Kou towards Ryouta, weird UST with Jin (possibly Roberto with a crush?) - Ideally, I'd like to see endgame Hiraga/Roberto, or at least an open ending that doesn't shoot down their relationship potential!

Optional Prompts

Hiraga is furious with Roberto over yet another act of self-sacrifice
Also, Hiraga taking care of Roberto post-whump
How Hiraga finally gets it into Roberto’s thick skull that he loves him
A traumatised Roberto goes mute again, and Hiraga must pull him out of it
Meeting family members, and/or other people from their pasts. I’d be interested to see how they’ve changed since meeting each other.

"Meeting the parent(s)" = Roberto meeting Jin for the first time is my ultimate weakness!!!

Domestic Hiraga family scenes including Roberto. Roberto is taken in as one of their own
Ada lives AU, or any other type of canon divergence
Galdoune kidnaps one or more Hiraga family members. It's Roberto to the rescue!
OR Jin & Roberto are the ones kidnapped; and it's up to Hiraga to save the day!

Mature Prompts

Ridiculous foreplay and blasphemy as pillow talk
Hiraga's strange science kinks make their way into the bedroom you know he has them
Service sub Roberto, possibly with a praise kink too. Maybe with D/S undertones too...
Hiraga turns to BDSM to help Roberto cope with trauma & stop acting self-destructively
↳ OR Hiraga uses sex as a tool to keep depressed!Roberto content and alive
Consummating their relationship whilst in the middle of an investigation
Mutual non-con where they're forced to break their vows. I.e., bad guys made them do it, actually enabling them. Or, they vastly misinterpreted the situation. With a side of religious guilt! And possibly threats of medical experimentation.
Getting together and holding their wedding night at last. Or any excuse for consummating their relationship.
Pregnant Roberto!! (This could be a miracle, omegaverse, any excuse really.)
Getting walked in on in a compromising situation Jin! By Ryouta!!
Galdoune (or another enemy) finally succeeds in bringing about Roberto's undoing. Maybe through suicide, maybe through an "accident" or outright murder. As a last resort, Hiraga tries to resurrect his corpse with sex. Whether he succeeds or not is up to you.
Either Hiraga or Roberto is ridiculously endowed. If it's Roberto, cue Hiraga's oral fixation & extensive body worship. If it's Hiraga, Roberto can discover his size queen side :D
