Haha so, I've had a horrible terrible idea for the second au :)
Okay, so originally I was just thinking about how funny it would be to have a crossover between the aus, and then I was like "Karl would totally have a huge crush on the DTeam! It would be so funny if Tommy teased him about it"
But thenI got thinking and I was like "Huh, this Karl Im thinking doesn't really fit the second au, he's a bit too goofy, but he also doesn't fit the first au. How can I make him fit the second au so I can have poly dtk?"
Good news is, I figured it out! And with Karl added there looks like the Dteam have a better chance of healing without having to leave the hero profession. Bad news is Karl now has a backstory
Originally I was thinking of Karl having time travel powers (it's obvious but shut up everyone else is getting funky powers), he can go back up to 10 minutes and then has to wait the time he travelled to be able to go again. And snf would have a very complicated relationship with the idea of being able to go back in time,because they would do ANYTHING to be able to go back and stop Dream from getting hit by that bomb
And while that feeling is understandable, it is not a healthy mindset, so I was thinking of how I could show that and what I came up with is this:
Karl once decided he was going to use his powers to have the most perfect, flawless day. So he starts off his morning. He burns his toast, but that's fine! He goes back to do it again. When he gets up again he stubs his toe bur that's fine! He goes back to do it again. He trips when walking to the kitchen, but that's fine! He goes back to do it again.
He keeps restarting his day over and over again,getting more neurotic and paranoid about every single little thing. He has time travel powers, he should be able to have a perfect day! He can do it next time, he's sure of it! Just one more, just one more, and it will be perfect
Karl has no clue how long he lives in those ten minutes on that one morning, his best guess is a month. He only stops because eventually he gets too sick to even get up from the bed. He lays there, those ten minutes crawling by. It's almost an hour later when manages to crawl to his kitchen, he almost cries when he drinks water for the first time in a month. He texts his boss, a nice elderly lady that never cares when they need to take a few days off, warns her that he had a power related issue and can't come to work. He goes on with his day, tries feeling like a real person again
.

Was that good at explaining what I meant? But yeah, Karl once trapped himself in a time loop because he got too obsessed with doing everything perfectly. He talks about it with snf when they start getting to know each other better, and he's the thing that helps the DTeam start moving forward from the incident the most

question: do ppl ACTUALLY say things they don’t mean when they’re angry? or is that just an excuse after letting something true slip? i wouldn’t ever say something i don’t mean in anger, so the concept confuses me.
but something was said to me that is bothering me, though apparently was said in an argument and wasn’t meant. but i don’t rlly believe it wasn’t like, deep down true thoughts/feelings??? anyone have any insight? anyone say things they don’t mean in anger?
EDIT: this was a hastily worded post that i didn’t expect to get notes. this is a genuine question asked in good faith that i got a lot of amazing answers to!
also re: the many ppl saying “OP is lying about not saying things they don’t mean in anger because everyone does it”— i genuinely have never done that. if i say something mean while angry, i meant it. that’s literally why i asked this question and why the concept confuses me, because i wouldn’t do something like that so i wanted perspective from people who do it. idk why y’all can’t believe that lmao not everyone is as prone to anger and outbursts

i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..
like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO
less specific ones include:
"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*
"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"
"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."
(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

when watson tells him he has to return to the hotel to console a dying englishwoman, & holmes knows this may be the last time they will see each other, his face softens into the slightest of wistful smiles, like he's seeing all the things he loves about watson, his kindness, bravery, loyalty, trust, and then he just turns to go! like he's already said his own secret little goodbye that watson doesn't know about & now it's time to move on to the next thing
