BLLK MATCHUP EXCHANGE for @archive-of-the-lost

Your BLLK matchup issss......

SHIDOU RYUSEI

SUMMARY

I knew immediately what vibe I wanted to go with, it was just a matter of finding who would fit it. Oh yes I warn, this may be a bit ooc, bc I based this more off my concept of shidou. +We don’t have much info about his backstory, so I do kinda have more room for headcannoning

MY TAKE This is more paragraph based, vs the bullet-pointy-ness of the mainsource breakdown

From vibes, I felt that you’d pair well with someone who has a strong character, but is also flexible to some change.

I think people underestimate the chillness/laidback-ness (can u tell i suck at english?) of Shidou, I really do think he is peak nonchalant dreadhead. He has a strong personality, one that would keep you entertained/invested, and he’s overall good company. He’s also very unfazed, which means that you don’t have to worry about him judging you at all, there are very few things he’d turn down.

Shidou was definitely the first to make a move (given the way he is), and you probably humored him enough to where he wouldn’t leave you alone. 

“My fashion style tends to rotate between cutesy pastel clothes, alternative, and elegant/cool��

This was definitely enough to catch Shidou’s attention. He would shamelessly try to hit on you. 

You probably made a joke out of it, accepting sarcastically. He could not tell it was sarcasm.

Now he’s gotten really good at telling when you’re joking. Laughing since he knows you’re being sarcastic while everyone else looks greatly concerned at the both of you.

If anything, he almost always adds on to your sarcasm with more sarcasm, mocking and taunting whoever else isn't picking up on it.

He’s a simple minded and strong willed person, but I do think that he’d be able to keep up with any sort of conversation you throw his way, from silly questions to philosophical ones. The type of person to give you shockingly good life advice at 4am yk? He seems to know exactly what he wants in life, and doesn’t even think about being offended at any questions.

MAIN SOURCE - BREAKDOWN

“People have told me that I look unapproachable?”

If you ever told shidou this, he’d probably say something like “Really? Huh, I never noticed.” in other words, he didn’t pick up on this when you first met lmao, so this wouldn’t stop him at all.

If anything, he loves using this against other ppl

“This is my s/o, Aurora :3”

“...”

“Yes they’re totally plotting to kill you.”

“My fashion style tends to rotate between cutesy pastel clothes, alternative, and elegant/cool”

If shidou saw any cool accessories or anything he think may fit any of your vibes, he’d pick it up for you instantly (and if it wasn’t smt you like, he’d wear it for himself no matter how silly he looked).

“I would like to try bolder makeup looks and lolita fashion in the future.”

Shidou would definitely encourage this, even pitching in whatever he knew about makeup to help you! Would take helllaaa pictures of you when you two go out. Changes his wallpaper like every 2 days because he has so many and you look amazing in all

“I daydream a lot and tend to space out when I’m not talking to someone”

Shidou would stare at you silently admiring every pixel of your being (while mentally taking screenshots), and will glare at anyone who interrupts this state of yours. 

And he isn’t bothered at all if you ever space out when talking to him, he finds it pretty amusing

“Didn’t intupt you did I? Whacha thinkin bout?”

“I'm also good at reading people (to the point where my brother thinks I can read people's minds)”

There are two ways to see Shidou. Either a completely open book, or someone with so much depth it’s shocking that his exterior is so open. He’d be very intrigued that someone’s trying to look deeper into him, and will probably be more around you, and casually drop his deepest lore mid joke to lead you on.

He also uses this against other ppl. If he’s ever questioning the sincerity of a person, he’ll turn to you like “They’re fatherless, aren’t they-”

Will also introduce you to Charles like 

“This is my s/o (or friend, depending on the time) they can read minds >:))” “REALLLYY? THAT’S SO COOL- WHAT AM I THINKING RN??” Then you’ll blow Charles’ mind and he’ll be like “WOAHHHH UR LIKE MAGICAL OR SUM-”

“Purple represents me best as a colour.”

If Shidou ever gets you anything, it’ll be in purple. If there’s anything purple, he’ll get it for you.

Also has a purple ‘friendship’ bracelet(which you may or may not even know about) bc it reminds him of you. It doesn’t go with his fits at all, so people point it out often, and he uses it as an excuse to rant about you.

“I value my authenticity, creativity and emotional intelligence”

I would say the same for sure goes for Shidou. He probably hates frauds and basics, people who follow societies’ path for the sole reason that they lack their own intelligence.

Although I do worry that his emotional intelligence is often overshadowed by his ignorance, but he knew he’d have to be more careful around you if he wanted to keep you around.

“I can’t say I’m really empathetic”

Shidou doesn’t need anyone empathetic, nor is he himself. So this is never a concern between you two

“I daydream a lot and used to be idealistic as a kid but now I'm more of a realist/pessimist”

I feel like Shidou’s actually pretty down to earth, so I don’t think he’d have a problem with realism. And I think his (realistic?)optimism would balance your pessimism well, he’d never let something like that get in the way of having fun~

“I find that I tend to think quite logically”

That’s no problem for Shidou, if anything he’d come to you before he does something stupid just to get your approval to make sure it’s somewhat reasonable. Comes to you whenever theres a problem he needs to get around, or when he’s pissed someone off and isn’t allowed to engage for advice. Basically goes to you for advice on everything. Including “What pizza should I get? Cheese or Pepperoni? Should I just get both? Im gonna get both.”

“When interacting with my feeler friends, I can feel a stark difference in the way we think, haha”

I’m going to assume your F vs T is pretty on the line then, or at least you have a good grasp on both sides. I would say the same goes for Shidou. He likes to rely on feeling to make his own reckless decisions, but definitely has a thinker in him (especially when judging others).

“I prefer one-on-one interactions.”

This 10000% is the same for Shidou. If you two are ever in a group setting, he will just drag you out with some half-assed excuse to talk to you. And even if you were in group settings, he’d have all his attention on you, and would only snap out of it if someone clapped in his face, or you spoke to him

“Sadistic”

Mans is not afraid.

“Kins I relate to the most (75% and above of their character): Itoshi Sae”

This also fits perfectly.

“My giving love language is acts of service and gift giving”

Shidou has probably received minimal affection to begin with, so really he’s happy with anything. But acts of service happen a lotttt, you make his life so much easier and better, and he loves you for it. He also has a dedicated shelf for all the little things you’ve given him, and he loves just looking through them thinking “They got this for me… they’re fcking amazing.”

“Dislikes: Exercising”

Too bad you are now running from security with him (its okay he’ll carry you if you get tired)

Wil definitely encourage you to go out more often, but also loves carrying you around(with permission)

“being forced to interact with people”

If there is ever someone you don’t want to be talking to, he will not hesitate to just drag you away the next moment, or just slur off the other person until they leave.

>“Type: Some intellectual that I can talk with. I wouldn't be able to stand a SO that often cuts me off when I'm trying to talk (especially when I would never do that to them), or someone that's only interested in talking about themselves.”

Again, I think Shidou would shockingly(??) be prettyy set in his morals and values, so throw any question his way and challenge him! And when it comes to you, his attention span sky rockets.

“I climbed a mountain and ran a small marathon when I was 10.”

“If you could do it when you were 10 you could do it now!” <- shidou as he’s trying to convince you to go run a marathon with him

“Many people have called me pretty. Also complimented my handwriting, they say it's so neat it looks like computer print.”

He would throw whatever complements he can think of your way. “You look beautiful. Stunning. An angel. Etherial. The apple of my eye. The protein to my shake. My vitamin D. My mitochondria to my powerhouse.” 

Will also worry that you’d judge his crap-ass handwriting, and spent a few nights improving it…

“I seem to have good luck when gambling/playing card games. Ex: I usually get the deal breaker cards when playing monopoly deal.”

Was genuinely irritated the first time you played with him. Couldn’t BELIVEEEEE he was losing.

“Rematch!” x24

Eventually gives up on winning, and instead teams or bets on you when playing with other people.

Swears you’re like a magical fairy or sum

“When someone tells me to do something, I usually do it if I think there's nothing wrong with it. And then I find out they didn't actually expect me to do it.”

Shidou will probably test your limits on this :3 until you call him out on it at least-

“I admire activities that require certain movements like playing instruments and ballet that I can't do because my spacial awareness/motor skills are shit. Also I have no practise ethic. I can't do the same thing over and over again, I'll get bored.”

Will definitely try to show off his motor skills infront of you (the first time he tried he may have been too nervous and ALMOST screwed up, but he managed to do it!)

Shidou also gets board or repetitive things, so you two are always coming up with new things to do

“Phone charms entice me. I have changed my phone charm twice over the past year.” Shidou lovess trinkets. Keychains, photocards, etc. So he is super happy to get you a BUNCH of phone charms

"Look look! This one is literally perfect for halloween, oh and this one's purple! And this cat is soooo cute~!”

“I love cat plushies.”

So does he. And he will both give and take them from you <3

EXTRA INFO

"I’ve been to so many extreme parks that flying foxes are boring to me now." - Suo’s matchup

Perfect. You two get to skip the boring things. He WILL(somehow) find something you haven’t been on. Neither of you are interested in the basics. Oh and he’ll take you on the teacup ride, you’ll be expecting a slow boring ride, then he’s gonna put his entire body into spinning the wheel that moves the teacup to almost spin you out of the teacup.

"I can’t design things because I don’t know when to stop/where to place things to make them look pretty." - Also Suo's matchup

> Shidou probably lovess more clutter styles. And if anything, he is much much worse than you LMAO

FINAL NOTES

Overall I think there's defiantly potential between the two of you, if this was a real relationship then both of you will defiantly develop a lot through it, but I think it'd be good!

I had the vibe picked out before anything, so I picked the person closest to said vibe and went with that! bc again, we still don't know a lot about Shidou (and i personally haven't poked into the Shidou theories) so this is the best I came up with!

Hope this meets your expectations, can't wait to do the sibling matchup w/u >:DD

Main Source- Lookin’ At The Front Door: I could write a mini novel about this song but I’m gonna be short. This is one of the greatest songs from the greatest era of Hip Hop music. Large Pro had us all digging hard when he came out. The fact this is finally on a 45 might be the best thing about the pandemic thus far. Shit knocks as hard today as it did the day it came out. #MainSource #ExtraP #BestSongEver #SuperAdiscoBreakin’ Whats your favorite song on this album?
