what do u think of nina/lotte? :0
I don’t ship them, sorry :p I’m not afraid to say it because I know a lot of people ship them and it’s okay :)
As a friendship is sweet and tender and i absolutely adore when they’re together. And I DESPERATELY LONG for a friendship like theirs
But if I’m being honest as a romantic ship I don’t catch feelings for them.
But if you do ship them ok :) ! Go ahead, buddy :)
whatever
THIS ARE ALL SO REAL AND CANON
(The one abt Grimmer’s sweater made me stand up from my chair and walk in circles in my room rethinking my life choices)
random Tenma headcanons
he did not just walk off a car crash like that idc idc he now has chronic pain bc of it
he did not learn his lesson when he fainted back in volume 1 for not sleeping and eating properly, and it def happened again at least once or twice during the timeskips we get between chapters/arcs. The problem is sort of resolved when he's traveling with Dieter because he needs to make sure the both of them are okay but reverts when he's not with Dieter.
never regains the weight he lost while hunting for Johan. His eating and sleeping habits def get better and he does gain most of it back but not all of it.
kept a sweater of Grimmer's after his death
while them getting back together is out of the question, Tenma and Eva have managed to build some sort of friendship post-canon. Despite their differences, there's some comfort found in them knowing each other for so long, and due to their lifestyles (Tenma always traveling, Eva's... complicated personality) they have very few serious connections with people. So it's nice to count each other as one, even if it's flawed.
Whenever he comes back to Germany to visit Dieter, Nina, Eva, etc. he runs into his old patients sometimes and catches up with them to see how they're doing
Despite being proven innocent, his face was plastered on news papers for years as the main suspect of all those murders. Which leads to uncomfortable, awkward circumstances whenever someone (a passerby, a cashier, a bartender, etc.) recognizes him.
Sends Nina and Dieter letters while working that sometimes include photos taken with his patients, mostly child patients.
Brings the two of them souvenirs whenever he thinks of them or finds something he think they'd like
The only problems he has with long/longer hair is the memories attached to it. While he prefers short hair, having it grow out only poses some mildly tedious problems. But whenever it does grow out he's reminded of how much death and misery surrounded him while on the run, and can't bear to let it grow longer. It also makes him feel unkept even if he were to take good care of it.
I love Tenma thirsting over older men like YES BABY bring that DILF thirsting over older DILFS
OMG OMG OMG OH MY GOD
SO SWEET SHE LOOKS STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL AND LOOK HOW IN LOVE HE LOOKS AT HER
OMG THE LAST DRAWING HOT THEYRE BOTH SO HOT
Grimmer in suit IS DOING THINGS TO ME 🫦
Please hear this out
Grimmer giving (transfem) Tenma her/their first dress bonus points if he helps with the zip of the dress.
Idk I LOVE the idea of Grimmer giving Tenma princess treatment 😭💗
okay so funny enough I got almost the same prompt back-to-back:
So I sort of took the two and did a couple sketches~ I thought these were both so sweet!
I thought it would be cute to see something more casual and something a little more ✨fancy~ and another excuse to draw Grimmer in suit too! I struggle a lot with choosing outfits, but I hope these capture the different aesthetics I was going for!
About my last post my HCs about Tenma and Grimmer’s jealousy levels
I feel like when they’re together, Grimmer is most of the time, oblivious if someone is flirting with Tenma but once he notices, he tends to say nothing and chooses to remain next to him the whole time. He’s definitely not the type of man to make an scene, if he feels jealous he stays kind, polite and smiling as if nothing happened, but he’d turn closer to Tenma (he’d take his hand, pull him closer etc), he would ask him things like “who’s her/him?” Or he would tease & mock Tenma with things like “I fear he/she likes you very much, you’re such a charmer aren’t you, Doctor?” And he would chuckle but obviously he doesn’t like that person to be too close to Tenma.
For Tenma is a little bit the same, but in my head, Tenma didn’t truly met jealousy till he started his relationship with Grimmer. Because when he was with Eva he never felt jealous when other men flirted with her. But he has slight increased jealousy levels when it comes to Grimmer. He’s also not the type of man to make an scene but if he’s jealous, he’s VERY obvious. You could tell his smiles are fake, that his manners have undertones of sarcasm and annoyance, and since he has very poor anger regulation, he definitely would talk harshly towards the woman or man that’s flirting with his man.
And at the end of the day he would be COMPLETELY embarrassed and if he has the chance he would excuse himself.
Mermay is closeeee i think this year I’m translating my Guriten mermaid AU fic into English hehehe
THIS IS SO SWEET I LOVE THEM SO MUCH IT HURTS
they needed this the really did
Kiss in the oceanarium. Maybe first...
why do u think tenma would be a slytherin ? :0
OMG I LOVE THIS QUESTION ☝️
First of all let’s clarify something that Slytherin≠ evil, villians, or bad people.
Second of all let’s settle down the Slytherin traits, at least the most significant for the house: Goal-Oriented · Ambition · Self-Confident · Cunning · Natural Leaders · Shrewd · Loyal · Self-Reliant.
Tenma is literally all of those in a healthy (or almost healthy) way.
He’s goal oriented, Tenma doesn’t take any step without a plan or a goal in mind, he’s always calculating and analyzing the area. Every step on his journey was to obtain something (Stop Johan) and not a single person on earth could stop Tenma.
Ambition is always associated with something bad. But ambition also speaks of a strong desire to achieve something specific. Here it could well be Tenma's unstoppable steps across the country to stop Johan and get rid of him at any cost. Also his vision to save as many people as possible, "to the last consequences."
Slytherins are people who will do anything to achieve and accomplish their goals. Tenma is someone who would do anything for his own goals (of course always without compromising anyone or seeking not to harm anyone around him) but is capable of sacrificing himself. Although it is clear that to protect someone else if he has to, he will resort to measures of violence and the use of weapons.
He is someone who forced himself to almost give up little by little his humanity in order to pursue, find and finish Johan.
Tenma is a truly intelligent, cunning person, but over time he became too calculating and surly. Such a characteristic and the circumstances made him to reveal a part of him that wasn't so outspoken. We learned that Tenma is actually an omnipresent observer, on more than one occasion we were unaware of his whereabouts, but not because he was elsewhere but because he was there observing and analyzing from the shadows to generate the big picture and thus be able to proceed to action in a premeditated and calculated way.
In Another Monster we got to know a bit more about Tenma's personality from the perspective of people who have known him since he was a child. Here we discover that Tenma is actually a very selective person with his friendships, and it was overemphasized that gaining Tenma's trust is really difficult. Yes he’s sweet and for him, human relationships are extremely important but to gain Tenma’s trust you have to prove him you’re worth it.
From Ch. 1 we know that Tenma is always a warm and kind man to all people, however, gaining his trust and friendship is certainly "conditional" on the attitude of the person in question that he demonstrates to Tenma.
A lot of people he would considerate him a Hufflepuff and I can see it but Tenma’s philosophy in some cases differs a lot from Hufflepuffs philosophy and matches Slytherins.
We should collectively give her a name since Urasawa didn’t give her one 🗿
