Stinger Headcanons

With a Reader who likes gardening and has a family farm

=>Request<= ~ ✿ Masterlist ✿

Fandom: One Punch Man

Warnings: none, just calling him baby a couple times (he is)

Stinger x GN Reader

Note: I honestly didn't expect my first OPM request to be about Stinger! Thank u anon for this, I'm glad to know there are more Stinger lovers out there💕 It was really fun making this so I hope I captured your idea well, enjoy!

(English is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes)

• Oh Stinger, baby boy… first of all, let me just say this guy is insanely charismatic and full of energy.

• You could be having the most boring day ever, and just his presence alone would instantly lift your mood.

• At the same time, he takes his hero work very seriously, always focused on bringing justice to his opponents. And while he may underestimate his enemies from time to time, his passion and skill make him a standout hero loved by the citizens, especially by you.

• You really admire him. Not just in his hero version but in his more homey and everyday self too.

• It all started when the two of you went on a walk together. It felt like a date (though neither of you dared to call it that). On the way, you came across some bamboo shoots.

• Stinger got excited the moment he saw them, knelt down, and started digging them up. He told you he likes to dig them out from time to time. (That’s what One Punch Man: Hero Encyclopedia says, it’s an actual hobby of his 😆).

-It’s kind of dumb I know. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to get your hands dirty- he says with a slightly embarrassed smile. But a few seconds later, he sees you kneel down beside him and start digging too.

-Don’t worry. I’m used to dirt.

• That’s when you tell him about your love for gardening and your family’s farm.

• He already knew about the farm, but he had no idea how passionate you were about it.

• Watching you talk so lovingly about it stirred something in him. He just kept staring at you, completely mesmerized.

• Something lit up inside him, the way your face glowed while talking made him feel something he hadn’t experienced before.

• He wanted to be a part of it. Somehow, in any way. If it meant he could keep seeing you smile like that, it was worth it.

• After that heartwarming moment, things only got better and better.

• Every time you saw each other after that, he’d ask how the farm was doing. Which would lead to more conversations, and more chances to see that bright, tender look on your face.

• Let’s be honest— you've got him on his knees, so please be gentle with him 😭

• I can totally see him secretly researching gardening facts and pretending he already knew them, just to impress you.

• Pls don’t laugh at him if he says something wrong he’s trying so hard!! he’d blush in shame and probably be too scared to try again.

• You could gently correct him a little later (spoiler alert: he’ll blush anyway).

• With great embarrassment he’d eventually ask if he could visit the farm. And of course, you’d say yes.

• The look on his face when you finally brought him there and he saw it all for himself... priceless.

• You didn’t plan to make him work on his first visit, but he insisted on helping harvest the lettuce. You told him it wasn’t necessary, but that man isn’t the type to take no for an answer. His sense of initiative goes beyond your known limits.

• From that day on, his visits became more and more frequent.

• Always offering to help out, even when you never asked him to. He’s stubborn and you know it. These are battles you simply can’t win.

• Assuming the farm has animals, it’s worth mentioning a couple of storytimes! one day he tried feeding the chickens… and they ended up pecking him.

• Another day he was gonna feed the pigs but accidentally slipped in the mud, getting it all over his face and clothes.

• You couldn’t help but laugh while he felt completely embarrassed. He didn’t talk about it for days poor baby.

• As the days passed some neighbors would begin to recognize him.

• An elderly couple now refers to him as "the bamboo boy." He gets a little embarrassed about it but you find it adorable. He’s starting to feel like part of the family.

• Once, you gave him a basket full of fresh veggies and he got emotional.

• Stinger values gift-giving as a love language, so for him, that basket basically said “I love you”.

• And he’d return the gesture in his own way, bringing you plants, animal feed, and little farm-related gifts.

• In the end, it becomes another hobby for him. You’re glad to have introduced him to it, and even more grateful for all the help during his visits.

• Who would've thought this would be what brought you closer together?

• Deep down, in a quiet part of your mind, you can already picture a future with him, living and working together on your own little farm.

Watching random youtube videos and this guy suddenly brings up japanese meal portion sizes.

And how they are very small. American meal portion sizes are extra large for Europeans, but I'd imagine the average meal portion size in Japan is like really small. Japanese on average are really slim, so it makes sense to have smaller meal portion sizes.

But I also suddenly I had a thought about OPM game Saitama's quotes and the reason he eats small portions alone. The player character in that game invites Sai and Genos to all-you-can-eat buffet with a coupon and it's totally free to just eat there, but there are some cultural differences. In western buffet, you're free to eat as much as you like and people go to a buffet expecting to be able to eat their heart's desire. However, in Japan, it is apparently against good manners to be a glutton.

Genos: “Master, did you come here because you thought we’d lose?” Saitama: “No, I couldnt take the stares I was getting pigging out alone.”

There are some youtube comments too.

Nah its expected that you dont "overeat" and show good "manners". Aka, dont eat more than others at your table, and dont behave like a glutton. End result? Everyone eats less and the buffet makes a profit of social insecurities.

The challenge was, was that we would eat everything they served to us before the next set of platters would arrive. As in approximately ~36 rolls of sushi, 2 bowls of miso (small), and like 4 portions of teriyaki which isn't too crazy between two people I think, but there was this one waitress that looked at us like we were human garbage every time we went and she would always be really pissy with us

And it just suddenly dawned to me like:

Saitama loves food. He really does like good food and he can also eat a lot when in actual company. I mean, his body is that of a super athlete. He can legit eat just as much as Garou here. He would need the nutrition of a super athlete to keep up his physioque, just like Garou makes note that one really good sized steak isn't going to cut it. That kind of body needs a ton of calories and boatload of protein.

(not sure how much of that is exaggerated or not, but the calorie intake of large male bodybuilders irl is kind of nutty, then we have to take account the superhuman factor and it's gonna get pretty high I presume)

But Saitama won't ever eat his fill, not jut because he's poor which is one reason... but another is because he would be judged to hell and back just for eating how much his body would realistically require as sustenance. And with that kind of body, it's not a small amount at all.

With the intuition he has, he can probably LITERALLY feel all the stares of everyone just for eating a decent meal size. Just like he says, he can't stand the stares he's getting because they're judgemental. So he won't do it. And persists on pitifully small meal portions.

Even if offered a free meal on a buffet, because he's been made to feel like human garbage just for eating food so he's too self-conscious anymore to enjoy food alone. Because he's so fit he needs a ton more food than the average person, so it's not like he can help it by magically becoming petite and slim like average japanese person.

Ugh.

I wanna punch some fictional people.

It means so, so much for Saitama to actually have a social circle now. It means he doesn't need to literally go hungry anymore, not just when eating out but also financial security when eating at home. His social circle acts as a safeguard.

And going hungry fucking sucks. Being poor and going hungry sucks even more. Going constantly hungry while other people judge you with a body like his on a consistent basis is probably minor torture. Saitama is fucking magic for being able to get a body like his when he's that poor that he has to get everything on a bargain sale and losing 6,000 yen feels like end of the world.

Realistically, he shouldn't have been able to. But he somehow managed to persist and get that perfect, Olympic god-like figure.

Legit the reason why he's drawn more buff is probably because he's actually getting enough nutritious food to satisfy his body's needs. Not just because he looks less comedic and more realistic and artstyle change.

I feel for Saitama. I really do. At least Genos keeps feeding Saitama some good food, what a blessed cyborg.

Is how Saitama felt when Genos cooked Saitama's favourite dish, Hot pot, for him for the first time.

I bet the reason Hot pot is his favourite dish because there's plenty extra servings in a pot for someone who's actually hungry and the leftovers are easy to store and you can get a large meal out of cheap ingredients. Just practicality.

Lizzie’s back with OPM pride headcanons because god damn I come back every year feeling more cringe from the last one also dear lord have my opinions changed and how OOC those must have been

Anyways! Skipping S-Class because thats how I roll :] everything's under the cut bc its kinda long... oopsies

A-Class

Amai: he doesn’t get any labels at the moment due to whatever the hell is happening to him however I do wanna place him on the aromantic spectrum

Iaian: unlabeled, unsure. he does not think. (about relationships at least) and probably doesn’t pick up on flirting until like… right after it happened. confusion. he probably thought about it ONCE though and was like “surely I like women…. Right?” And realized he’s found no woman he’s had interest in in terms of romance/love, and Kama doesn’t count because she’s more sisterly. Probably somewhere on Demi or aroace

Okamaitachi: canonically trans, hello? While I’m pretty sure the manga points her towards being a mostly men liker can you blame me for wanting to say she’s bi leaning towards men

Bushidrill: cishet ally-ish, still confused but Kama’s helping

Heavy Tank Loincloth: his macho-ness makes people believe he may be gay. Is he? We will never know

Blue Fire: same as Iaian in the sense he never thinks about it but all because he’s too busy focused on justice

Stinger: I’m stuck between bi w a preference for women or pan as he seems like he truly does not gaf

Magic Trick Man: ace, still determining other labels

Twin Tail: aroace genderqueer dear lord look at her. maybe sapphic, I don’t see her being into men really

Here’s another gender comic for Pride Month! This is Implication of Multiplicity (And Why It’s Fun To Create Fear), a comic about the rejection of the binary, that people often fear that, and that you should do it anyway.

[lin-lizzie]

I truly believe that the Raijinshuu is still one of the STRONGEST teams in Fairy Tail; even if they rarely get a chance to show it. (A Ramble~)

For the record, I adore Hiro Mashima. He's a creative soul and wonderful writer with drive I could only dream of. But nobody, not even the man himself, could convince me that he had any idea what to do with the Raijinshuu after their debut.

According to the Volume 13 Afterword, Mashima created the team on a whim along with the entire plot for the Battle of Fairy Tail. He wanted to create an arc centered around Laxus, and things like the Harvest Festival/Fantasia and the ideas for the Raijinshuu just came to him naturally for this arc. We actually almost had a different arc entirely—which means that Freed, Evergreen, and Bickslow almost didn't exist... at least not in the way we know them today.

They served their purpose in the BoFT. And what happens after that? They are nerfed and sidelined unlike ANY other character. Yeah, a ton of characters get overshadowed and nerfed as the series goes on, but I wholeheartedly think the Raijinshuu has it the worst. The last time they're given any sort of justice is on Tenrou Island when they fight Rustyrose (but I'll ramble about that more in another post!)

Despite being a part of Team Tenrou, they are the only three that are CONSTANTLY left out. And over the course of the series, are pushed back into total background characters to having their characters and dynamic assassinated in the 100YQ. Considered nothing more than 'Laxus' Cheerleaders/yes-men.' Even in the newer Fairy Tail games they are COMPLETELY left out aside from a mention or two. (Not even DLC!! Like, WTH?!?!) I refuse to believe they are THAT expendable. (I've mentioned it before, but they are also some of the few Fairy Tail/Team Tenrou members with ABSOLUTELY NO backstory!)

Okay, I may be over exaggerating a bit... or not enough tbh! It's been a while since I rewatched/reread the series so I'm just going off what I remember. But I know that these are amazing and underrated characters who are so unique in design and magic abilities.... a uniqueness that I sadly believe is their biggest downfall.

I don't think Mashima knows how to write their magic (especially their eye magic) without defeating the enemy too quickly or overshadowing the main cast. (Don't forget that this is the same team that defeated a DARK GUILD in just a few attacks—where Freed didn't even lift a finger, might I add!!) This is why every big enemy they face has been immune to their eye magic in one way or another. Either by wearing glasses or being ANYTHING but human. (Rustyrose, Tempester, Wall Eehto... just to name the main ones.)

The Raijinshuu never get the chance to play to their strengths before they're sidelined... over and over again.

Look, from a writing standpoint—I get it. Really. Their magic is super OP if used in the right way. And it's not much of a story if the heros win too easily, if there isn't any conflict, stakes, or a challenge for the characters to overcome. Especially coming from characters who aren't even part of the main cast. It would be way too easy if Evergreen just turned the enemy to stone before the battle even began... Or if Bickslow took control of their soul.... Or not even mentioning Freed having the power to trap and straight up kill with his magic. But I feel like there is a better way to go about writing it then just pushing the Raijinshuu to the side every arc or knocking them down at every opprotunity.

Even before the BoFT, they had to be pretty remarkable to impress Laxus—especially young Laxus—so I seriously doubt they just gave up trying to improve themselves once they became more involved in the guild or even post-timeskip. If anything, they would've had to train and work even harder to catch up with that seven year gap. No cheats like gaining access to their second-origin though Ultear's magic. Just pure training and dedication.

I truly believe, or pretty much headcanon at this point, that they are always training and pushing themselves to be stronger. That they're always improving their magic and have new spells we'll never get to see. That they still want to live up to their name as Laxus' bodyguards. They just seem weaker as the series goes on because they're not the main characters. Plain and simple. Besides, you can't have already OP characters be even more over-powered. They don't get any cool fights or power-ups because they're irrelevant as far as the story goes. (As much as I hate to say it.) It doesn't really matter how strong they are as long as it's painfully obvious that Team Natsu is stronger. (Their fight with Gray in the 100YQ is still complete bullshit though.)

It sucks, but I don't think it'll ever change at this point—probably only get worse as they are used for gags, character fodder, or just plain forgotten about in place of more screen time for romantic pairings.
