i would looove to hear some of ur quinx squad headcanons, specifically moments of platonic intimacy between them bc i'm a sucker for that🥺 just in general too with haise & shirazu included but also if u have some cute headcanons about how urie & saiko would get tooru to open up a bit and accept help and their love at the end of :re when he's pretty much at his lowest... i feel like ishida did NOT give us enough closure at all so this is on my mind 24/7 :')

(bonus question: if you have any cute/funny hcs about juuzou hanging out with the quinxes i'd absolutely love to hear about it)

Okay, I actually enjoy them enough to remember some things about them, so let's go! Buckle up, friend. I put this one under the cut just because it's so long haha

i would looove to hear some of ur quinx squad headcanons, specifically moments of platonic intimacy between them bc i'm a sucker for that?

Starting with the easiest, Urie tends to keep to himself and avoid showing vulnerability, I think after losing Shirazu, who at least in his inner world, he was the least distant to, he is more open about it but still mostly shows he cares from a distance, doing some chore no one at the Chateau wanted to do or arranging a team outing that he has to begrudgingly participate in himself with enough cajoling from Saiko and the new Quinx. Sadly, he did not grow into that side of himself much before the Rose Extermination, and Shirazu was the only og Quinx who saw the early hints of it before that point in the manga. Even then, their most intimate moments still amounted to bro time with a beer, even if they meant much more to Urie than he let on.

Haise, as Haise, was always trying to get the whole squad together. We see this with his lil Christmas party, but I don't think that's the only time he's been Mr. Host who wants everyone close and getting along. Smaller things like group outings, team-building exercises, dinners at the table, movie nights... he cares and feels for his underlings as much as Shirazu with the ability to follow through on his big ideas. Shirazu and Urie might have been off doing their thing too much to be receptive of it most of the time, but to the more receptive of the bunch, Saiko and Mutsuki, he has a paternal, big brother sort of affection for them. I can see him earning the nickname 'Maman' from Saiko by comforting them when they're scared or sad (Saiko might come to him, but he would have to catch Mutsuki and not take 'don't worry about me' for an answer I think), making soup he can't even taste when they're sick, stuff like that.

Shirazu wants to be the warm, gregarious leader who is well-liked by his squad. He loves to hype his friends up (I mean, dude mechanically carried Saiko from her bed to the field office in canon) and would pour a full milkshake on his head get a smile out of them when they're sad. He shows a lot of affection with his words, and readily cheers on and motivates all three Quinx, though Urie might roll his eyes and Saiko might sleep right through it. If he gets it through his admittedly thick skull that his big, brash pep talks and jokes aren't right for a situation, like if one of his squad-mates needs a hug more than a push, he learns (largely from his brief leadership role, I think) how to show his soft side. A change of scenery often gets him out of a funk, so another way he shows his teammates they're special is taking them to his special places on his bike. He also seems like he would give great hugs.

As for Saiko, I think one of her love languages is recommendations. Video games, movies, shows, snack foods... she shows that she understands her teammates scarily well when she feels motivated to by suggesting something that “made her think of them.” Though it can be used for laughs like in that one omake where she drew buff Urie and taped it up, she might also draw pictures for her teammates as a nice thing to do too. I think she would get clingy once she's really close to someone, liking to hug, cuddle, and of course, nap together as a display of intimacy, platonic or otherwise. Sharing her snacks is also a big, big deal to her, but she will share if she really likes someone.

We know Mutsuki often acts as a mediator and confidante to his teammates in canon. He's a great listener and will give them all the advice or emotional support they need, always a reliable shoulder to cry on. He tries his hardest to look after them and make their lives easier behind the scenes to show he cares, doing someone's chores if they're having a rough week, making their favorite comfort food and either letting them enjoy it in their space or sharing it with them when they're sad-- whichever speaks to them the most, or just telling them all the things he admires about them when they doubt themselves. He's always down to offer his help with anything his team undertakes. And he pays attention to all those above things about everyone else so he can tailor the kindest, most supportive thing he knows to say to them.

just in general too with haise & shirazu included but also if u have some cute headcanons about how urie & saiko would get tooru to open up a bit and accept help and their love at the end of :re when he's pretty much at his lowest...

Ehh this is probably one of my 'no one is going to want to hear it cause it comes off as depressing' headcanons, but while I realize there are panels of *dialogue* saying otherwise later in the series and for all I know there's some flashback in a chapter I didn't read that totally refutes me, I never picked up on the remaining gen 1 trifecta being super close (friendly, nice, yes for the most part, but not *super* close) after the Rose Extermination and figured they just naturally drifted apart. But considering how most of :re was thrown together I can totally see the possibility that Ishida just didn't tie up his loose ends yet again as well. It just didn't occur to me at the time.

Mutsuki might have tried to keep their original group together if Shirazu was still alive and Haise was still the Haise who was so kind to him, but neither of those things were the case. Him and Saiko I can see making grand plans and promises not to drift, maybe even still hanging out or stalking each other's social media from time to time, but personally I did not see a 'help each other at our lowest' relationship there, even if there might have been some talking/yelling about having one. And I know it's a 50/50 chance this opinion gets me murdered, but he and Urie would have had to have a relationship at all for them to even drift apart.

But idk maybe that all changed in a part of the manga I straight up didn't read. I'm probably the least qualified creator of stuff in what remains of this fandom to talk about ANYTHING toward the end of :re lmao

(bonus question: if you have any cute/funny hcs about juuzou hanging out with the quinxes i'd absolutely love to hear about it)

Maybe it's not so much of a thing anymore but istg at one point I saw more fanon interaction between him and SAIKO than him and Mutsuki, and it made me as livid as someone can be at fun fandom content of a make-believe series. But that's because it was collectively erased from some percentage of people's minds that my two favorites in the whole series had a whole arc together, not because I don't see why him and Saiko would get along.

They both have an artsy side, they both have a playful streak, and both value their freedom to do things on their terms at their pace, so they might hang out from time to time when their paths cross and even turn Haise or Mutsuki into a third wheel if they get to doing/talking about something they both like. I can even see Suzuya possibly resembling the idealized fun quirky video game characters she lives vicariously through, so she might see how he is when he's visiting the Chateau or they're at the same field office and think 'omg hes literally me' and want to be his friend.

Knowing all that, I can definitely see them hitting it off playing a game together at a gathering hosted by Haise or something like that. However, Suzuya kind of has to come into Saiko's world for them to be friendly. As long as it's a game, drawing, talking over snacks, things go pretty well. But she stays out of the way and flies below the radar while Suzuya commands a space, so once Suzuya is way in his element or Saiko is simply running out of social battery, it would be easy for Suzuya to steamroll her in a conversation or render her the passenger prisoner in a shared activity, and with Saiko being on the non-confrontational side, I see a lot of potential for resentment and “how could he say that/do that? I don't like him anymore.”

He's also sincere to the point of insensitivity and I wouldn't put it past him to (accidentally) poke at something that makes her insecure, even if he wasn't exactly being mean, and again, she would just kinda quietly add that to her mental tally of reasons Suzuya Juuzou makes her uncomfortable. But he's also fun to play with and two people who she likes like him, so they get along as long as they stay in her comfort zone.

An underrated interaction as far as Suzuya and the Quinx he isn't shown hanging out with in the manga already, is Suzuya and Shirazu. Personality-wise, they're so similar; Shirazu almost strikes me as basically being Suzuya but sensitive and agreeable. I think if Shirazu survived the series, they would have been buddies, but I don't think they would start out that way. While Saiko might have wanted to like Suzuya more than she ultimately does, Shirazu wanted to not like Suzuya but they end up being each other's favorite third wheels, maybe more if Shirazu didn't die in the very next arc.

Their first interaction without Haise or Mutsuki as a buffer was when Suzuya started mentoring Mutsuki. As any good friend would do when their friend is spending time (read: head over heels) with some creepy guy who might kill cats in his spare time, Shirazu would reach out to Suzuya one day to 'hang out' with the intent of confronting him and basically making sure he treats Mutsuki right through sheer intimidation. However, Suzuya is 1) not scared of him, and 2) actually kind of cool-- but he's weird and can't have good intentions with Mucchan! Focus, Ginshi!

But really, they match each other's energy pretty well, like some of the same things, and this 'confrontation' quickly devolves to commiserating about how great Mutsuki is, Shirazu crying over cute animal photos on Suzuya's phone, them taking Shirazu's motorcycle out for food/drinks (on Suzuya, but that's fine, he was hungry) and getting into shenanigans at the place they went to that Suzuya gets them out of while Shirazu panics. I think it would be cute if one day they hung out again to paint flames on Shirazu's motorcycle together. DAMMIT NOW I WANT TO WRITE WHOLE STORIES ABOUT SHIT THEY GET INTO TOGETHER.

Urie, I can see being cordial with him and even making the occasional gesture of wanting to be liked by him because of his rank and authority. He's a man who knows what he has to do to fulfill his ambitions. Sometimes that means being ruthless, but sometimes that means playing nice with a prodigy investigator while internally screaming through the entirety of every interaction because Suzuya was practically engineered to annoy him as a person.

Urie is a loner and Suzuya loves to peek in on what other people are doing if it seems interesting. Suzuya is sincere and imo unable to wear a mask while Urie, whether he realizes he feels this way or not, has to be serious and taciturn with an iron grip on everyone's perception of him to get what he wants in life and that just makes him all the more critical and irritated by every weird thing Suzuya does in his presence. Suzuya is also perceptive and his big blank stare just looks like it's taking apart anything it lands on and figuring it out, which is probably what private, reserved Urie, who always has a whole separate dialogue going on in his head that he hides from everyone, dislikes the most about him.

And to salt Urie's wounds, he bottles up all these opinions while Suzuya still can't even remember Urie's name most of the time. Like, are these shallow appeasement gestures even doing anything? And there is truth to these thoughts of his-- Suzuya thinks he's just no fun to be around and is indeed oblivious to his very subtle effort at being a little nicer to him than he is to his equals. For this reason, though, I think it would be hilarious to make Urie stand in for Mutsuki on some outing or another because Mutsuki had something come up and Urie saw a chance to curry favor with the Special Class Suzuya and it's a bad time for everyone.

#answers #anon #quinx squad #tfw you have more to say about a bonus question than the actual ask lmao sorry friend #maybe i'll force suzu and shirazu to spend time together sometimes in my hockey player/figure skater au #i just... need more of that friendship in my life
