Every time is a skeptic headcanon, I’m pretty sure that 8/10 of what presented is just offscreen canon
Random headcanons! Because I have many thoughts and they take up too much brain, so might as well put them somewhere and it's a long one
Skeptic can read QR codes and bar codes. Like physically read them. No scanning necessary.
On that same note, he absolutely cannot read sheet music. It's completely incomprehensible to him
He's definitely hypermobile, and that comes with all the creaking joints, pain, and scary stupid flexibility. Absolutely used it to scare the shit out of people when he was younger. Think bending over backwards to do that freaky spider walk from (I think) The Exorcist
Doesn't mean shit about his balance though. Regularly walks into walls and door frames and is covered in bruises as a result. He definitely trips over his own feet, does that little stumble run thing, and proceeds to act like he almost didn't just lose a fight to gravity
Occasionally stands with his elbows bent and his hands just dangling. T-Rex arms basically. And by occasionally I mean literally whenever he's not holding something, actively doing something, or just has his hands in his pockets
I know this man just sits in the dark in his office. No reason for it, he just does
Owns exactly one dress. It's the Morticia Addams one. I will die on this hill
About his quirk. Using it too much in a short period of time (such as the Meta Liberation Army war arc when he went to fight Twice personally) results in his hands being really sore. He also gets bad headaches from it, and maybe a slight pain behind his eyes. He knows this very well, but chooses to do it anyway. His fear of failure is far greater than any concern over his own well being will ever be
He! Loves! Spiders! All spiders! Has several as pets, names all of them and treats them like his own children
Corporate Goth
Probably had Hawks merch. Dude's a bit of a fan, not that he would ever admit it
A Gorillaz fan as well. Named his tech company after one of their songs and everything
Was the most IPad kid to ever IPad. You could not separate his 3 year old self from his tablet unless you wanted to deal with the worlds worst temper tantrum. Would still probably freak out today if someone were to take his laptop from him.
Slept in a coffin shaped bed in his teen years because he thought it was cool
Dated maybe once in college? Was not all that interested and didn't date anyone again. He's just not interested. Never has been, and might not ever be. He's okay with that, happy even
HOWEVER. In the universe's where he is interested in dating, he's got standards and they are HIGH. Again, dated once maybe in college, was not much of a fan, and didn't date again until his 30s
Doesn't develop feelings or crushes easily, but he definitely falls HARD if it ever did happen. Not that anyone would know, he's both secretive and has the most convoluted flirting strategy on the planet
*sets pen down in a super particular way* "Ah, yes, this will definitely convey my feelings perfectly, I'm so good at this flirting thing"
"What the fuck do you mean I can't ask them out over email it's the most efficient way"
"Okayokayokay, they sat next to me in the meeting, good, time to make my next move" *completely ignores them for the entire meeting except to slide a piece of paper over with nothing but binary code written on it* "Okay, now to wait for their answer. All according to plan"
It's his phone number. In binary code. That he gave zero explanation on how to translate it. So the recipient is just stuck with a sheet of paper with 1s and 0s on it. In the worst handwriting imaginable
Might do more of these someday, this already feels long as it is
Why am I dedicating a (rather long) post to a random background character in BNHA who contributes almost nothing and is honestly rather underused?
Because no one else will (and because it’s fucking fun.)
That joke would work better if I could actually show the clip, but regardless, please gather round, for today I intend to take you on a journey that explores one of the most easily forgotten characters in the series. Hell, let’s staple Vigilantes on and say he’s the most easily forgotten character in the franchise? Pop Step and the rest of the idols? They’re at least unforgettably annoying. Mustard? He scored pretty well in recent popularity polls for a character who hasn’t appeared in 200 plus chapters. Muscular? He actually appeared again and at least has a cool prosthetic eye and relatively flashy Quirk. But Chikazuko? I almost never see anyone discussing him and in my humble opinion, the gangly fucker deserves some time in the spotlight. Especially considering he’s technically the only remaining MLA executive and thus, will probably play some sort of important role soon.
Anyway, spoilers below, continue at your peril and enjoy the Skeptic Appreciation Post.

Smol boi, baby, tiny, tiny boi…
An old drawing of Geten! I love him and he's One of my favourites. I have his backstory too even If I don't talk much about it in public
the "tag your majors" post + the PLF
excuse me what the hell ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Yeah, I liked Hero League Baseball. Because, while it may have been a non-canonical filler side story, Nirengeki Shoda finally, finally got a chance to shine.
Two innings pitched, five strikeouts, one flyout, no runs, no hits, no walks.
I still have beef with season 5 cause;
Re-Destro is just anime Doofenshmirtz and I hate that this was pointed out to me
Daddy? Sorry Daddy? Sorry Father? Sorry Papa? Sorry Daddy? Sorry Daddy? Sorry
Daddy?
Howling and Barking at the wall rn...
This old man
He can get it
I raise that notion. His hand writing is aggressive doctor’s cursive.
(Idk how to write like a doctor)
Imagine a whole letter and it’s just that. He doesn’t see the point of handwritten letter. He only learned cursive for his signature
yknow i bet skeptic has the worst fucking hand writing, the dude grew up typing most of his life with those gangly ass fingers so of course his penmanship is utter garbage
Skeptic/Tomoyasu Chikazoku:
- I've noticed that he really doesn't have any major aging lines or details in his design, although his eye bags and chin details could be seen as his aging, it just seems that they are just part of his face shape and his working habits.
Ex: His eye bags would probably form from his time in front of computers and in dark rooms
My age guess for him would probably be his late 20's, maybe 27 or 28
----------------------
Trumpet/Koku Hanabata:
- Trumpet is very obvious not young, a lot of his dialogue is very formal and he does say "My, is that what the kids are saying these days?" + He's a political party leader, where you would have to be a certain age to legally be a party leader. He very obviously in either his late 30's or early 40's. He also has obvious aging lines in the manga. Eye lines and forehead lines are apparent, but I hate how they took them away in the anime, but all of the MLA got screwed over by Bones
Age Guess: About 42 or 43
----------------------
Curious/Chitose Kizuki:
- It's obvious that she's aged, she has the same eye lines in the manga, so I couldn't find any more description or design for her age. But it's very clear that she is over the age of 30. Eye lines are very common aging factors and by her small flashback with Re-Destro, she was definitely around her 30's cause of Re-Destros design at the point
Age Guess: Around 41, possibly 42
----------------------
Re-Destro/Rikiya Yotsubashi:
- We all know our favorite silly old man. He has very very clear aging lines, along with stress lines as well (his ability side effect). Also considering he's a CEO of Dentrant, the grand commander of the MLA, and his speech pattern, he's finely aged.
Age guess: Around 45, possible 46.
----------------------
Geten:
- Geten is very obviously not aged at all. He has a young character design, but it's said that he never went to school, and ran away from his family young, cause fuck his family (they are so gross and what they did to Rei ruined her life.)
Age guess: Around 20 or 21. I really don't think he's older than that, still very young by MLA standers
(*we get to see THAT scene next episode omg)
