hear me out... jjk characters at the cookout
jjk characters at the cookout
tags: headcanons, gn!reader, black!reader
a/n: honestly this sent me into an intellectual overdrive. the hold jjk has on the black community needs to be studied
suguru
bro says "monkey" one time and gets jumped
he's pretty chill
suguru can take a joke and toss them right back with a grin and feel completely relaxed
he is punctual when he wants to leave thouh and will side eye if you told him "we're gonna leave" and you're still there an hour later
overall he enjoys himself. family is important to him so it means a lot to suguru to be included and accepted by yours
your older relatives might ask a bit about his gauges but he's classy enough that it doesn't matter by the end of the conversation. suguru is quite charming when he wants to be
yuuji
"i like em tall with a fat ass like megan thee stallion"
yuuji won over your cousins pretty much immediately with one take and one take alone
you leave yuuji alone for one second and the mf has a coordinated dance with them and your family is hyping them up
your family would honestly adore yuuji, he fits right in
he had them in a loving death grip when he said he was ready for the collard greens, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, lamb, ram, hog mog
falls right into the trap of staying way longer than you planned even though you started saying your goodbyes 45 minutes ago
can perfectly quote katt william's "whose goddamn white baby is this?" scene
promises to bring his older brothers to the next family get together
the guy your aunties call 'baby' with all the affection in the world
somehow knows all the dances? candy by cameo comes on and an uncle goes "what you know about this right here, young buck?"
passed his test with ease. like, do not come to the next get together without yuuji. they will notice
megumi
he wouldn't realize that your family is just teasing and wonder if they legitimately don't like him until you reassure him it's just familial roasting. just say something dumb right back, megumi
has to be dragged out the corner to really interact with anybody else
megumi isn't really a party person and an extrovert but due to most of his close circle being extroverted, he does know how to manage his energy so he isn't completely drained after a short while of being there
answers all questions about your relationship seriously and sincerely
megumi might be quiet but your family likes his honesty. bring his ass back next time
satoru
honorary light skin
toji
honorary dark skin
kento
the man your cousins wish they had; he's literally the epitome of "as a man, you should be doing x, y and z". you know it and when you bring him over, your family knows it
he helped with the dishes without even being prompted and hearts were stolen
being a foodie, kento will be grabbing seconds and knowing your family he won't be leaving empty handed either
he's invited to breakfast by your mom before you leave
mostly needs to be sought out for interactions like megumi. he won't turn anyone away, he welcomes the conversations he's just not a big go getter
you can convince him to dance when a slow jam comes on and enjoys how your face lights up in recognition when older songs your parents played in your childhood comes on
like yuuji, if you don't bring kento to the next family get together don't even bother coming because they'll ask over and over again why he couldn't make it
satoru fr this time
his ass cannot stay out of the banana pudding. so much so, most of the leftovers you take home are just containers of it. says he'll leave you if you don't learn the family recipe
like suguru, satoru can handle your family's teasing and he teases right back
let's your younger cousins wear his sunglasses if they ask
"wait if they're called tony toni toné why aren't none of them called tony?" "satoru please don't ask this right now" "no because-"
if they didn't know you were dating someone before you brought satoru over, they'd definitely know when he arrives. he's always draped over you and he's happy to let the world know
when pulled to the side to ask if he's serious about the relationship, satoru's usual bravado drops to tell your relative calmly he's 100% serious
he's a good time. dances even if he doesn't know the songs, sings along when he does and he'll leave somehow knowing everyone's names when you don't even remember half of who showed up
toji fr this time
fits in surprisingly well, your family is a hell of a lot better than his
tall, charismatic, got a deep voice and big feet. you and your cousins will be gossiping and swooning about it
toji is no stranger to being on a family's least favorite list. he's got plenty experience from his relatives, he only cares that megumi and tsumiki are treated well when he brings them along. if they're treated right, toji has no problems
danced with a good chunk of your aunties, your mom and a cousin or two in order to cement winning them over successfully but you got the most dances out of all of them
"someone's been quite busy, mr i don't care if they like me or not" "i don't but it doesn't hurt to gain approval anyway. your aunt virginia already invited me to her son's wedding" "i haven't even gotten my invite to quan's wedding yet" "sounds like i'm the family favorite to me"

I've been reading plenty of Legacy-Tord redemption fanfics lately, and so I wrote a quick one myself in just 45 seconds:
Tord stood there, clutching his wounded arm, "I'm sorry for everything, Edd," he mumbled, his eyes welling up with tears.
Edd blinked and took a moment to think.
And so Edd gazed back at Tord before breaking the silence, "I forgive you, Tord. We all make mistakes, I mean, there was a time Matt used a time machine to brainwash everyone into loving him? Or when Tom turned into the new Zanta Claus and literally destroyed Christmas, burning the city to the ground? And, oh yeah, and I think I've killed like about 5 or 20 innocents."
Relieved, Tord flashed a smile before his expression shifted, "Phew, I'm glad tha- Wait, YOU GUYS DID WHAT?!"
