officially with only Hakkai though, and the poor guy is still so new and figuring his way around everything I doubt he's even had a chance to think about things that deeply

this game forces him to hold people's hands though and he is 100% not used to that and gets flustered every time because he is a repressed self conscious introvert with catholic guilt and self hate issues

the first skill is getting him to stop freaking out over just that

holds his hand :>

hardtostarboard: oh! hello? thank you? /TRYING SO HARD TO NOT BE AWKWARD ABOUT THIS

HEEHEE

also hiii! thanks for the friends request! it's a pleasure to meet you!

Hiiiii :3

I play many people but, specifically of interest to you, Baizhu

I'm so sorry to take over so quickly after the last Hakkai, as I know he and Baizhu had a close previous connection. I am ready for the feelings that come with this U.U

noooo it's okay

They were friends but! I am looking forward to things being awkward and messy ICly over it

truthfully I had no idea there was even another hakkai before I decided to app, so when I was told the previous one dropped the same month I put up for the tdm I was shook!

hehe

I look forward to all the messy feelings, hakkais already aware that some version of him was here before thanks to Jean so at least that should ease it a little bit

\o/

it also makes him waaaay less paranoid over the thought of being taken from his world knowing time shenanigans are afoot, cause gosh golly his world certainly was falling apart and kind of relying on him before he showed up here!

YEAH that is deffo reassuring

but the fun part about playing hakkai is that he's so polite and is genuinely trying to help everyone as much as he can but he's so repressed because of past trauma that he's absolutely horrible when it comes to opening up to people

LUCKILY, Baizhu did not find out any of his uh

Secrets.

So he won't have to deal with THAT

so many secrets up there in darkest anime backstoriesb

the only volume in the entire series rated 18+ is specifically his story and that amuses me to no end

also, oh my gosh he freaked out so much when Jean first said he knew the previous version of himself

the killbill sirens were blaring

But back to shipping things! Or, I suppose, more so, touch things? In his first whole month in-game, he's only touched two people. The first was Zoey, whom he had no idea was what caused him to stop feeling sick, and that's because she only caught him to prevent him from fainting on the spot

and the second is Rinku who finally gave him the full explanation on how important touch energy is

and the sweet person she is she said she'd be his backup if he finds himself getting sick again due to how bad he is at this

Of course, personally, I am down for all ships all the time. I am a shipping fiend, so I look forward to where anything in this game is going to lead

all ships all the time!
