My recent life

[yandere-writer-momo]

Baki boys meeting their pen pals since childhood??

THANK YOU FROM SAVING ME FROM THE LACTATION ASKS. I owe you my life

I’m drawing a blank on this one so you’re only getting Katsumi and Retsu

Yandere Baki Head Canons

Meeting their penpal in real life

Katsumi Orochi

Katsumi had originally signed up for a penpal out of boredom but he had become extremely attached to you. Your letters became one of his reason to look forward to each day. You’re the only person he’s ever had romantic interest in since he’s so busy with karate.

The two of you sent letters to each other for almost a decade. He couldn’t get enough of you. Sometimes he swore he could smell your scent lingering on the letters and it made his imagination go wild… could you love him? He invited you to come see him in real life

Katsumi nervously waits at the gate at the airport. He’s pacing back and forth, he is so anxious

He recognizes you as soon as you walk through the gate. This golden retriever of a man hurdles toward you to wrap his arms around you in a tight embrace as he swings you around. Your laughter filling the gate at his action.

Katsumi excitedly chats with you as he takes you to the baggage claim to get your baggage. He’s surprised you packed so lightly when you finally came to be with him (your future husband). Katsumi carries all your bags for you (he won’t let you lift a finger)

Katsumi then excitedly shows off Japan to you throughout the week. You love Japan. It’s a beautiful country and there’s so much to do. Katsumi shows off the dojo he runs and even tries to teach you some basic karate. You tell him how cute he is (it goes straight to his head)

Katsumi loves to take you out to eat and he loves taking pictures of you. He insists it’s to immortalize your memories together but it’s to add to a photo album to show his future kids how prettier their parent was (he’s delulu)

The karateka gets clingier as the days go on. It isn’t long before you figure out he’s trying to date you. You were taken aback at first but with how genuine he seemed with his feelings, you weren’t bothered by it. Katsumi was such a sweet guy… he must have been lonely

Katsumi shyly asks for permission to kiss you and once you do, it only furthers his delusions. His kisses are so soft and sweet. You can tell he’s new to all of this

Katsumi is a bit shy in all of his touches but once he’s more comfortable, he gets more confident. And it won’t be long for him to confess to you and ask you to be his spouse

If you do say no and try to leave, he will hide your passport from you. He won’t let you leave, he knows you’re in love with him. He’ll just have to make you realize it

Kaioh Retsu

He because your penpal due to his peers pressuring him to talk to someone. So he decided to do it the old fashioned way, sending letters to a random address in a foreign country. It must have been fate that there was someone living at the address… and even more so when the two do you were compatible. Years ticked by and he still found you to be the most amazing person in the world. He wanted to meet you…

Retsu adores you. You’re witty, funny, and so easy to talk to, he wants to meet you. He’s a bit weirded out with how sweaty his palms get when he receives a reply from you but he masks his nervousness well from his peers. Katsumi is the first to notice Retsu’s flustered appearance, the karateka encouraging Retsu to go for it.

So here he is waiting nervously at the airport and he’s in awe when he sees you. You’re even prettier in person

Retsu comes up to you and politely greets you. He then offers to carry your suitcase for you to the car

Retsu is extremely polite to you and he’s very respectful of your boundaries. You’re amazed a man like him is single. He’s the whole package!

The two of you share playful banter and a few laughs. You’re very comfortable around each other. It’s like he’s your platonic soulmate… a shame Retsu saw you romantically.

Retsu took you on long nature walks and through museums. He showed you all of Japan’s beautiful nature and took you out to have some of the best tea of your life. And don’t even get you started on the restaurants! Retsu knew how to relax you in ways you didn’t think were possible. It almost made your heart flutter

Retsu was also an amazing cook. You’ve never had such exquisite Chinese cuisine. And he loved your cooking as well. The two of you would cook together as you stayed at his place. It was so similar to domestic bliss, you almost caught yourself staring at his lips once or twice.

And Retsu noticed his tactics had worked. The older man pressing his lips to yours in a quick kiss. Your cheeks a bright red. The man then confessed his heartfelt feelings for you. He said he’d understand if you didn’t want to be with someone long distance which only plucked at your heartstrings. How could you not say yes?

You accepted them with a smile as he pulled you into a hug. A victorious smile on his lips. He had your wrapped around his fingers…

You wanna send snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the time and energy for a whole long term pen pal relationship.

May I suggest postcard exchanges! Here's a couple.

Postcrossing - you get assigned a random address, send a postcard. Then once it's received, someone else gets your address.

Postcard United - Same as Postcrossing, just a different site

PostFun - same as the above, but it's an app on your phone

Now, if you wanna have a little more long term relationship with someone via snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the energy to write big long letters, or spend time on mail art (y'all who do mail art, it's gorgeous, I'm exhausted just watching y'all), what you're looking for is a Postcard Pal. It's a penpal you agree to send postcards to! You are constrained by the writing section of the card! Much more condensed! Where would you find such a person? Here's a couple of places.

The Letter Exchange - the print zine mailed quarterly has a category for postcards. Bonus - it's a letter forwarding service so you decide when you give your postcard pal your address.

Postcrossing Forums - you will need to sign up to get access, there is a Penpal forum.

r/penpals and r/penpalsover30 - Does what it says on the tin, but you do have to sort through people who want emailpals as well.

Stationery and books, and coffee, can't really go a day without.Otherwise I feel like I've lost my soul.

[a-shooting-jade]

anyone wanna be penpals? we don't even have to send each other letters physically. we can write them out and make them look all pretty and just send the photos of the letters.

I just wanna get into writing letters and reconnecting with the idea of taking time to really think about the person you're writing to, and having something tangible to show for it. I think that'd be pretty neat
