LGBTQ+ and ally Hakuouki headcanons

Anyway, headcanons are subjective. Feel free to share your own!

Aromantic asexual: Sannan, Amagiri, Kaoru

Aromantic: Yamazaki

Asexual: Okita, Saito

Pansexual/Bisexual: Harada, Souma, Sen

Gay/Lesbian: Shiranui, Kimigiku/Okiku, Itou, Takeda (let's take those 2 gay stereotypes and turn them into real characters!)

Heterosexual Pan-/Biromantic: Hijikata, Iba

Gender-non-conforming/Demi-girl/Agender/Non-binary: Chizuru

Gay asexual: Nakaoka

Cishet ally*: Nagakura, Ryouma, Miki

*Allies of the community are those that don't just tolerate LGBTQ+ people, but actively support and defend them.

Shenanigumi might be the only who's done this before...

(Sorry for not including Heisuke, I just don't think he fits anything here. I think he's a straight cis guy that would not go out of his way to support the LGBTQ+ community. He probably has other things on his mind... I don't HC him as queerphobic, just not as an ally.)

For those in the aromantic&asexual lines: I don't have a HC what their sexual/romantic identity is, I guess I'm open to any interpretation there. For the people in the pan&bi and gay&lesbian lines, I mostly HC their romantic identities to allign with their sexual ones.

(I saw someone musing about whether or not Kaoru is trans* (since identical twins usually share the same biological sex) and... I can't see how? Him "having the wrong genitals" (as in: him being AMAB) is a fact important to his backstory and he seems to have always identified as boy/man, even before the attack on his village, no matter what the Nagumo did to him. (Kaoru and Chizuru being oni is probably an excuse for how it's possible that they're identical twins with different sexes). But it's a trans* spectrum so while I can't see how he could be MTF trans*, maybe he's GNC/demi-boy/agender/enby?)

Might make part two bc Iba doesn't have a meme and Iba must have all the memes 😤

Hakuoki Yuugiroku 2 - 《Autumn Shinsengumi Sports Meet!》—— Opening Ceremony?

This translation is from 薄桜鬼 遊戯録弐 秋の新選組大運動会！which was originally published in the booklet that looks like the following image.

This is probably one of my favourite misc stories... because it shows how Saito is the best boi.

No, I will not be accept any arguments to that statement. hahaha. i shalt abuse my power as a translator and focus on Saito content if anyone dares to argue otherwise (maybe. not really. who knows hahaha. perhaps i really am that petty...)!

anyway, this is the first part of this silly story... enjoy!

Hakuoki Yuugiroku 2 - 《Autumn Shinsengumi Sports Day!》—— Opening Ceremony?

Translation by KumoriYami

Autumn of book reading, autumn of appetite, and also ——the autumn of sports.

To express the joy of finally getting through the hottest season of the year, the trees in Kyoto became brightly coloured, and it formally became autumn soon after.

Looking at the members divided into two teams by red and white headbands, the chief of the Shinsengumi, Kondou Isami, made an announcement in a loud voice in a courtyard of Nishi Hongan-ji.

Kondou: "Good, everyone's here…. Then I announce that the start of the Shinsengumi Sports Meet is officially open!"

Hijikata: "Kondou-san is really something, all of a sudden he's talking about holding a sports meet… even if it's on a whim, it needs to be done in moderation."

Saito: "But Vice-Commander, I believe that this is a good opportunity to relax everyone's tense nerves after such a scorching summer."

Harada: "Furthermore, the winners get to make a wish, right? What sort of wish should I make…"

Hijikata, Saito, and Harada, who each had headbands on their heads that were as scarlet as red maple leaves, were discussing——

Heisuke: "How can you be talking as if you've already won, Sano-san! We're not going to lose to the red team!"

Souji: "By the way, Shinpat-san, have you already decided what prize you want if you win?"

Shinpachi" Of course it's going to be sake!"

Heisuke and Okita, who had pure white bandanas, like white clouds, on their heads, and also Shinpachi, responded.

Seeing how the two sides already seemed to have sparks colliding between them before the competition started, Kondou nodded with satisfaction.

Kondou "Hmhm, it seems that everyone's quite motivated, that's wonderful. Then, without further delay, let's start the first competition——"

Kazama: "——Hold a moment!"

Hijikata: "Hm?"

Kazama: "Are you saying the winner gets what they want? I heard that just now with my own ears."

Hijikata: "Do-Don't tell me this arrogant voice is…"

There was no one else who was this arrogant and spoke with such an egotistical tone, apart from a certain someone.

Hijikata and the others quickly looked around, and the sight of three people, standing with their backs to the sun, caught their eyes.

Kazama: "Hmph. With all these wild dogs gathering, I thought something was happening…"

Hijikata "Kazama and Amagiri, Shiranui... you bastards, what the hell are you doing here!"

Kazama: "What the hell are you doing here? This pack of wild dogs really aren't able to discern facial expressions to figure out the other party's intentions. Could it be that you aren't even able to see this?"

Saito: "I don't want to be told by you about not understanding someone's intentions from their body language…"

Souji: "I mean, you guys are being hindrances, so why don't get out of the way? You're being too much of a hindrance."

As Saito and Souji glared at him, Kazama paid them no attention, as if nothing had happened.

On the side, Amagiri and Shiranui sighed and took a step forward to translate Kazama's words, which had only been half-spoken.

Amagiri: "Actually that is the case. Simply put, we stopped by while scouting out nearby…"

Shiranui: "That guy Kazama was saying "Isn't this the best time to show off the gap in abilities between me and the Shinsengumi in front of my wife". What a pain."

Harada: "Hey. That's to say, you three want to participate in this sports meet?"

Heisuke: "What a joke! Why obligation do we have to compete with you guys!"

Harada scratched his head while Heisuke puffed up his cheeks.

Then Shiranui shook his head impatiently and spoke earnestly.

Shiranui: I got it, I got it. This should be fine, if we come in last, we will never approach Yukimura Chizuru again, what do you guys think?"

Kazama: "What!? Shiranui, you bastard, making such a statement without permission..."

Shiranui: "What? I mean, as long as we win, it'll be fine. Or are you saying that a certain leader of an oni clan isn't confident that they can win?"

Kazama: "Hmph, what a stupid thing to say. As if I could lose to some insignificant humans. There isn't even a one in ten thousand chance of that happening."

Amagiri: "….That's how it is. What do you all think? Everyone from the Shinsengumi. If this is how it will be, bloodshed can be avoided. I believe that this is beneficial to both sides."

Hijikata: "......A word once spoken cannot be taken back. If you lose, you won't go looking around for excuses, will you?

Kondou: "Ah, if Toshi agrees, the I won't disagree. In that case, I officially approve of your team now!"

With that, the members of the third team, the oni team joined in, and the Shinsengumi sports meet finally kicked off after a number of twists and turns before the games officially began——

---To be continued---

------------------

note to self: it's the "Hakuoki Yuugiroku Booklet story competition" in NW. (i have over 200 things in nimble writer so it's quite easy to lose track of things if they aren't labelled correctly... 😅 )

[inthegardensofourminds]

I've come to the conclusion from Hakumyu that Shiranui is a terrible shot. Sure, he's confident and showy. But his aim? Not excellent. How many times do we see him fire and the other characters are fine?

The other other explanation is that he isn't actually trying that hard and that's why he never hits anyone. In one of the musicals he says he has a gun instead of a sword so that he's more evenly matched with the humans, and he seems more interested in having fun than actually beating anyone. So maybe his gun skill is as low as he perceived humans' sword skills to be.

how about them Oni huh

[lightmelodyva]

Here's more Hakuoki Alter Children from Thursday's Art Stream, I focused on Haruka's side of the route but I think Tomorrow I'll do a day art Stream and do Chizuru's side. But, first up is Miyabi! Haruka and Shiranui's child and may or may not had influence of Shin Shiranui when designing her.

Next up are the twin boys of Haruka and Saito, Aka the route where everyone lives. (well...of the shinsengumi..and a certain brat..) Minato and Tsutomu.

Now, in Hijikata and Haruka's route, they adopt Tetsunosuke, but they also have a daughter, Hanae. Hanae likes green due to her older brother. She does however have a tendency to sneak out of the village, leaving Tetsu to go and find her.

And the last child of the night was Oiso, Nagakura and Haruka's daughter. She takes her role as the heir to the Shinomi clan seriously, even wearing the symbol on her forehead like her mother.

[fierce-little-miana]

Playing around with Family Echo to create a family tree of the Oni families for The Twins and umh… I have created some of the most cursed cousin pairs known to man.

On the plus side, Shiranui is a cousin of Chizuru and Kaoru (second cousin)! On the other side I am not sure it makes up for who is Shiranui’s first cousin…

To botany experts and hakuouki enthusiasts out there, any idea what these are?

from the loading screen of the Toki no Kizuna

Suzumori Yukina's status board

I'm getting around to learning the language, but I keep getting sidetracked. This is present in the game Toki no Kizuna, which is the prequel of Hakuouki in the terms of the demon clans. The titular ten demon clans, Jukkishuu, have this as their insignia - as present in their clothing, banners, and in Suzumori Yukina's status board(?). Does anyone know the significance and symbolism in the culture of this flora?

Other than that, I'm wondering what happened to the council during Edo Era as it seems that after the formation of the group, it eventually sundered? Based on what I've understood when I went into the game blindly, the clans seems to be relatively close then - especially that of Yukimura, Kazama, and Amagiri , they essentially view Amagiri Kazutake as their aniki. Of the central clan, Yase Clan, the clans revered it as a powerful figure considering they do have prophetic visions and ties to the imperial family. For families with such close relationship, its pretty tragic that they ended up separating due to the effects of the Battle of Sekigahara.

In the game, there were also other clans such as the Tsukishima, Shiomi, Kotoura, and Hatsushimo which were part of the council. The clans Nagumo and Oboro were long ostracized by the council due to their affront centuries earlier and thus were considered as a solitary oni. What does this signify when Amagiri Kyujuu decides that if Kazama Chikage were to go to Ezo, he'd be considered as such? Are his actions so grave that he would be relegated to be alike to the families that his ancestors once fought?

In the Chuugoku Region(which would be considered as Choshuu Domain) where the Shiranui Clan resides, they revered them as deities - pretty ironic, though Shiranui Shin does look very pretty to be stated otherwise. There are many more of others that I can mention, but I'll do it on another day.

There's tons of information that can be extracted in TnK for the supernatural side of Hakuouki, it would be good discussion on Chizuru's family. :3
