#Hibari makes so much more sense if you give him older siblings

[insanescriptist]

Hibari headcanons?

1. Hibari is an oops child, later in his parents marriage. By this I mean at least a decade age difference between him and his siblings.

2. This does mean he is the youngest and spoiled, but not absurdly so. He was raised to be disciplined and maintains and enforces it. His father taught the basics of how to fight, but his mother pressed the tonfa into his hands.

3. The thing parents do when they have older children? They put them in charge of the younger ones. Hibari is fond of his parents but his siblings raised him… mostly-ish.

They probably shouldn’t have been left with an impressionable child and minimal supervision from more distant relatives. Hibari’s had his catchphrase of ‘bite to death’ longer than he’s been potty-trained.

4. He had two older siblings. The older brother that ended up abandoning Japan for the Triads and an older sister who picked up the duties that their older brother left as heir to the Hibari.

Incidentally, he completely blames Fon for ‘taking’ his older brother, bringing shame to the Hibari name and also blames Fon for his brother dying. I-pin is his cousin. He knows this, for all Fon has never said such.

5. Hibari overcompensated for the shame of his brother’s actions when that happen as a child. Add in sending him to school, the difference in environment and people… Hibari created the foundation of the disciplinary committee before he was even in double digits.

Incidentally, his older sister was delighted and found it adorable. She started to use the Hibari influence to uh, bend Namimori to her brother’s will. Because he was obviously Heir, she’s just standing in but she’s not weak. Just low-key terrifying.

Also again, she should not have been left alone with an impressionable child and minimal supervision.

6. The Hibari are the local power of Namimori; old money, old connections. You know how people say that so-and-so built/founded this town? You can say that the Hibari did that to Namimori.

Incidentally, everyone seems so surprised to learn that Hibari’s father is in charge of he local hospital. But it does explain much about how those ‘bitten to death’ have never pressed charges against Hibari and made them stick.

Hibari takes a lot after his mother and sister. To everyone’s horror except the Hibari Clan who find it cute and the Kusakabe who are mostly immune to Hibari-crazy by dent of long exposure.

7. His sister taught him how to drive, illegally when he was tall enough to reach the pedals and arranged for his ownership of his motorcycle once he passed the driving test. His mother taught him how to race, how to pursue and the limits of the bike after. Incidentally, this is when Kusakabe learned how to fly a helicopter.

Hibari doesn’t see the point in ‘stunts’ in front of a crowed, but a race? It fires up all those predator-chase-prey instincts. Hunting down prey was an excellent bonding experience, as was ‘how to get rid of corpses’ and ‘how to make unruly herbivores wish they were prey.’

8. Dino is an idiot herbivore with delusions of grandeur but he’s strong and does know what he’s talking about. Mostly.

Hibari’s proud, but he’s not so proud to ignore good advice when he recognizes it.

9. Hibari spends more time behind a desk than people think; between school work, Hibari business and the Disciplinary Committee… his relatives were so proud when he graduated with honors while being in charge of Namimori.

Everyone at school was quietly relieved when Hibari graduated… until they realized that Hibari had so much more free time now.

10. Hibari is a lot fonder of the Varia than is obvious and not because they’re a pack of carnivores.

But that helps a lot. Compared to the small animal, the herbivores and Vongola annoyance he’s supposed to be part of, a pack of carnivores at least doesn’t have to deal with herbivore nonsense

1. What is your second favourite fandom?

Umm.... I’m not certain? I don’t really rank the fandoms I’m in, so I don’t have a “second favorite”. I have several favorites, each of which hold a special place in my heart, but I wouldn’t be able to rank them.

2. Any lesser known shows/manga/anime/books everybody needs to know about?

GHOST HUNT AND NURARIHYON NO MAGO.

Ghost Hunt has to be my favorite supernatural horror anime ever, bar maybe Tokyo Ghoul. It follows the story of Taniyama Mai as she becomes the assistant to Shibuya “Naru the Narcissist” Kazuya, young psychic researcher and professional Ghost Hunter. They, along with a wacky cast consisting of a medium, a pritest, a preistess, a monk, and an omnyouji, solve a variety of different cases of the supernatural. It’s an awesome show, and the amount of research the author of the novels put into everything is crazy. Most of the show is accurate to real life psychic research, which is something that really impresses me. It’s not afraid to touch on issues that other shows wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole, either. All in all, I highly recommend it, and send you off to watch (or read!) it, with a warning to stay away from the dub. Mai’s voice in the dub is really annoying.

Nurarihyon no Mago is another really awesome one that I really wish people would watch. It follows the story of Nura Rikuo, the mostly human grandson of the yokai Nurarihyon, and heir to Nurarihyon’s clan, the largest yokai yakuza in all of Japan. The issue? Rikuo wants nothing to do with his yokai blood, preferring to stick to the human side of things. Through a series of events, Rikuo learns to accept who and what he is. It’s an awesome series with lots of references to japanese folklore and traditions, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you read it as soon as you can.

3. Ghibli or Disney?

Ghibli all the way.

4. Why Ghibli/Disney?

I’ve always loved the way that Ghibli animates things. Their movies are always so beautiful to see, it’s like watching a work of art in motion. But more than that, the type of story they animate appeals to me more than Disney. I would much rather watch a movie about a young hat maker cursed into being an old woman fall in love with a wizard than watch a movie about a princess. Disney movies are great, I’m not going to deny that, but they’ve always been aimed more at a younger audience, which makes them awkward to watch now that I’m older. Ghibli movies have never had that stigma for me, and since their stories are the ones I tend to like more... Well. There’s not much more to say, is there?

5. Favorite flower?

I don’t have one? I don’t really have favorites with that sort of thing, but if I really had to pick, the I’d say chrysanthemum.

6. What makes you ship something?

Ohhh that’s a difficult question to answer. I ship different things for different reasons, usually becuase someone made me see that their dynamic works in a relationship. I don’t ship that many things, actually, and there are only two ships I can think off of the top of my head that I ever had a moment where I went “Wow. Those two. I ship them.” Those ships were 1827 and TodoDeku. 

I had a moment, when reading the manga for KHR, where I was reading that scene in the Shimon arc where Hibari was fighting Adel. Tsuna was asking Hibari why he was fighting so hard, for Tsuna, and Hibari’s response is what made me ship them. “It is because there is a sky that the clouds can float freely. And someday, I will bite even the sky itself.” It just... hit me. Tsuna gives Hibari a home. He gives Hibari a place to come back to and rest whenever Hibari gets tired or bored of wandering around. Tsuna doesn’t try to constrain HIbari, or try to tell him what to do. He respects Hibari and his boundaries, and that line-- I’m not sure how to explain it. It just clicked, and I’ve shipped them ever since.

TodoDeku was the second ship where I had a moment like that. Before the sports festival arc, I never really noticed Todoroki. He was just one of the background characters, and I wasn’t even able to remember his name half the time. I was too focused on other things to pay attention to him. Then the sports festival arc started, and he came to the forefront of things, and I learned more about his past, and that’s when I started liking him. I didn’t ship him with anyone, but I liked him. But then-- “It’s your power, isn’t it?” That line. That scene. With the flashbacks and the fire appearing and Endeavor in the background and Izuku’s expression and Todoroki’s reaction--All of it. It was glorious. And that is what made me ship TodoDeku. Even more so with the interactions they had after that--with Stain’s fight and everything else, I just--adkfgfksyfef.

I have other things I ship, too. I ship HashiMada because that’s the way they’re written, really. It’s an epic bromance that borders on romance, and it’s not hard to believe they could have been lovers. I ship KaneHide because they support each other and help each other and mean so much to each other. I doubt there are very many things they wouldn’t do for one another. I ship Rikuo and Kana. I ship Meliodas and Elizabeth. I ship Madoka and Homura. I ship Kaito and Shinichi The main theme in all this? I ship healthy ships. Ships where they build each other up and support one another and help each other overcome their fears. That doesn't mean I don’t have unhealthy ships too. I’ve shipped things for no other reason than the dynamic is fucked up, because those ships are real too, and sometimes I like indulging that dark part of me. But for the most part, the reason why I ship something is because it’s healthy.

7. Or WHO makes you ship things?

@blackkatmagic has made me ship things. They introduced me to the ship that is MadaTobi and I haven't been able to drag myself away from. @onceabluemoonwrites made me ship DinoXanxus. The author of “Stranger with a Gun” (I can’t for the life of me remember who that is) made me ship 8018. 

8. Favorite book?

Difficult to say! I love the Harry Potter series, because that was pretty much my childhood. The Hobbit holds a special place in my heart because my dad used to read parts of it to me before I went to bed. I love the Dresden Files for it’s weird sense of humor. I love House of Many Ways, and the Anita Blake series has some really good books in it, too! I’m not sure which one I would call my favorite.

9. Most Annoying Sibling Award?

I have two siblings, a younger brother and a younger sister, and out of the both of them, I’d have to say my sister is the more annoying of the two. I get along fairly well with both of them, but my sister is the more outgoing of the two of them, and thus the more likely one to come annoy me. I still love them both, though.

10. Wooden floors vs. linoleum.

Wooden. More because it’s familiar than any other reason.

11. Who are you in the Cinnamon roll meme?

I’d be stuck somewhere between looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you and looks like a cinnamon roll and is actually a cinnamon roll. I’m general a nice person but if you go after anyone I care about then no one will find the body.
