Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: L-M-N-O-P

From this list!

Love Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

A confession of love will be something Kennyo approaches with the utmost reverence, even solemnity. It may take him a long time, because as much as he loves his partner, he's reluctant to bind them to him with his feelings. When he's ready, though, he'll want to choose a beautiful and peaceful setting to give the moment the magic it deserves. Of course, if his lover confesses first, he has no choice but to speak his sincere feelings in return. Either way, he'll give his confession in a soft, serious voice, while he looks into his beloved's eyes.

"I love you. Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Marriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Kennyo does want to get married, and he'll probably start thinking about the possibility of marriage as soon as he realizes that he's in love. However, he'll want to wait until he's secured peace for himself and his followers, so that his beloved and eventual family will be safe. He'll also want to wait until he is certain that his partner will have no regrets. At some point, he'll remember that nothing in life can be absolutely certain, and that he must trust his partner to act on their sincere feelings as well.

Like his love confession, he'll want beautiful, natural surroundings to create the backdrop for such an important moment. Then Kennyo will gently take his lovers hands in his own, holding their gaze with reverence in his dark eyes.

"I love you. No matter how many times I say it, it will never be enough to convey the depths of my feelings. But I want to keep saying it for all my days to come, so -- will you live on with me, and stay by my side?"

When he envisions marriage, he probably thinks of whatever a traditional Jodo Shinshu wedding ceremony would be in the Sengoku era. However, his beloved's happiness is more important to him than tradition, so whatever they want, he is happy to work towards making that dream come true.

Nicknames - What do they call their s/o?

At some point, Kennyo will probably find a flower or animal that symbolizes his partner's best qualities, and he'll use that as a nickname when he's being cute. In tender moments of a more serious nature, he'll opt for a simple, sincere "my love."

On Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

When Kennyo is smitten, it's obvious for anyone who knows him to see. Shingen, Ranmaru, and even Motonari knows what it means if they catch him spacing off, his dark eyes twinkling and a slight smile on his lips as he thinks about his beloved. If either Shingen or Motonari bring it up, he'll scowl at them and change the subject. If it's anyone else, including Ranmaru, he'll still change the subject, but it will be much more gentle.

Of course, he'll go out of his way to spend time with the person who has won his affection, coming up with excuses to help them with this or that, or asking for their assistance for whatever task that would keep them in close proximity. He might not be talkative during these moments, and he'll try to keep his expressions neutral, but he's secretly elated just to be around his love, and if he thinks they're not looking, he'll be smiling as he watches them. If they catch him, he's likely to blush and immediately turn around to busy himself with something.

PDA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Kennyo is actually comfortable with light PDA. He'll hold hands, briefly stroke his lover's hair, or even give them a quick, chaste kiss on their hand or forehead in front of other people. Anything more passionate than that, though, will be safely in private.

(2015) Ruby x Sapphire abandoned WIP

Agh... I hit burnout right after our buddy Sans Underfell cinched his Fellsweep and so I haven’t done his victory art yet -- if I don’t get it done this week I’m gonna CRY (not really but I’m frustrated at how exhausted I’ve been for the past week-ish and at how I’ve been unable to draw because of it)

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: W-X-Y-Z

From this list!

Wild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Kennyo doesn't get drunk easily, but if he does get inebriated, he'll wax even more poetic about his partner than Shingen does. Normally, he holds back out of concern that such flowery praise would come off as ingenuine, but with his inhibitions lowered, all of his skill with language as a scholar and orator come through in devotion to his love, whether he's with his partner or someone else. If Shingen is the one he is getting drunk with, then of course this delights his friend to no end, though Shingen will probably rib him about showing off.

XOXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Kennyo actually is rather affectionate. In addition to his comfort with light PDA, in private, he's even more inclined to have casual but affectionate physical contact with his partner. If sitting together reading, his knee will be touching theirs; if standing next to each other to prepare food or some such, their shoulders will occasionally brush; he'll often spontaneously take their hand and raise it gently to his lips, or caress their hair and tuck a lock behind their ear, or wrap his arms around them from behind.

Whenever he returns from being out somewhere, he'll greet his lover with an embrace and a soft kiss to the forehead, and sometimes an extra kiss to the lips. He loves to draw his partner closer and hold them, to cradle them in his lap, and to curl up together in bed. Cuddling in bed is often combined with stroking his lover's hair or caressing their back, with just enough light pressure from his nails to be pleasant. He'll learn how his partner likes to be touched and use it to brighten their day at every opportunity. 

Yearning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

If his partner is away for a while, Kennyo will take some time every night to write them a letter about observations that he wants to tell them about or questions that he wants to ask, so they can read it when they return. He'll probably be composing the letter in his head through various parts of the day. Thinking about what their responses would be makes him smile.

Spending time away from his beloved probably doesn't change much about his routines. Unless his partner is very socially anxious, then spending time with other people is likely something they did together -- playing games with Ranmaru, going out with friends, visiting the homes of followers -- as is going on regular walks, having study time, and caring for his weasel friend, Hozuki, or other animals. So, he'll still do all of those things the same, along with his responsibilities as the spiritual leader of Shin Buddhism.

Since bedtime will probably be the loneliest without his partner present, after composing his daily letter, he'll likely spend a little extra time reading, meditating, or talking to and petting Hozuki.

Zeal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Given the Sengoku is a period of heightened physical danger, Kennyo is willing to put his life, body, and psyche on the line to protect his lover. He would endure any kind of physical or mental torture to keep them safe, just as he does for Ranmaru in Sasuke's route.

If others felt the relationship was inappropriate due to mixing of classes or ethnicities, or breaking the norms of gender and sexuality, he would be unwavering in defending the rightness of his love, and probably write long essays about it, incorporating Buddhist beliefs into his arguments even if he is defending the relationship from earlier Buddhist dogma. No amount of public pressure could make him renounce his partner.

The only person whose negative opinion of his partner would really matter is Ranmaru, because he so dearly loves his son. (He would at least listen to concerns from Shingen, but may or may not feel the need to act on them.) If for some reason there was tension between Ranmaru and his lover, he would try to find out why, and do his best to help things resolve so they could all live harmoniously as a family.

Aaaand we're done! Thank you everyone for reading and sharing, I hope you enjoyed!

Kennyo Shonin, God of the Forest

:“3 I love this idea so much, so here he be

Please check out @daeva-agas ’s heart-stopping rendition of a forest god Kennyo, I was breathless

A sleeby Masamune for @starlitsummermoon :3c This has been on the backburner for… uh, longer than I can remember, but Starlit, I hope you like it! I think our moon boy could use use some snuggles from his star girl 💖

“I have something special, just for you.”

Very rough concept sketch for another form of Nightmare to use in my own stories (maybe! eventually!) -- I like writing him as speaking very eloquently in a cruel, condescending way, but it’s a little undermined when he looks like our round snuggly boy Sans Undertale. 😂 I just don’t find him scary in a hoodie and basketball shorts. He can be scary in the way he behaves, but... well, it’s fun to play around with new ideas, too.

So I hc that while sometimes he chooses to look like Sans, specifically around people who know Sans because it’s extremely unsettling to see a warped, goopy, tentacled version of someone you know and love (or to see a warped, goopy, tentacled version of yourself!), his default form borrows more from the body he stole/corrupted -- i.e., from the true Nightmare. He’s chosen to make himself intimidatingly tall, though, with unsettling proportions. He wears the robe open and is just naked bones underneath because people are often spooked by skeletal figures... he’s SOL with skelefuckers, though, hahahaha~

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: H-I-J-K

From this list! Instead of asks, I'm just doing the whole thing. :3

Honesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Kennyo struggles with emotional honesty when he's in pain. He's used to keeping sadness and worry to himself for a number of reasons -- leadership, culture, masculine expectation. Old habits die hard, and he also feels that he shouldn't burden his partner by exposing them to more of the darkness in the world. He doesn't like lying to his lover, however, so if they're persistent in asking, he'll eventually open up.

Kennyo doesn't really have anything in his past that he wants to keep secret, though in general, he often doesn't think to share things about himself unless he's asked.

Inspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Being with his partner reminded Kennyo of who he truly is, and in admiring their kindness and inner strength, he found he could no longer deny his own values. He feels he owes his redemption to them.

If his beloved has trouble recognizing their own virtues or worth, Kennyo will stop at nothing to help them see it, showering them with affection and praise, though he knows from experience that the journey to self-acceptance takes time.

Although Kennyo doesn't seek out novelty by nature, he's more than willing to try new things with his lover to see them smile. If there's something they want to try but are nervous, Kennyo will encourage them and be at their side, because he wants his beloved to be able to pursue any skill or experience that calls to them.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Kennyo doesn't feel jealous over simple things. If someone else shows obvious romantic or sexual interest in his beloved, or if he notices his partner displaying such interest in someone else, he'll feel jealousy, but it will quickly turn into anxiety. He'll wait until he and his lover are in private, then quietly ask if he still makes them happy. How long it takes for the insecurity to pass depends on the circumstances. Since Kennyo has a hard time talking about his feelings and doesn't like conflict with his partner, he'll probably be avoidant when he's feeling his worst, especially if he's experiencing any flashes of jealous anger at the third party. As a Buddhist, he expects himself to let go of such feelings, perhaps more quickly than is strictly reasonable (though that's due to his especially high standards for himself).

Kiss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Of course he's a good kisser. He's an ikémen. ;) Still, with such a gentle-hearted and naturally cautious man, the first kiss will be soft, shy, and a little uncertain, even if his partner is fully relaxed and eager.

Siblings 😔💖

Obey Me!: Torine (angel) and Vendan (demon)

During the current Demon King’s active reign, Vendan served as a general and master strategist in the Devildom-Celestial Realm wars. Meanwhile, Torine was a commander of a specialized segment of angels. When Diavolo called for peace, the two were in the first group to support him on either side, both believing that the wars were far too costly in lives. As peace ambassadors, Vendan and Torine collaborated frequently with each other to aid Diavolo’s efforts. The love that blossomed between them continues to be an inspiration for Diavolo  as an example of what can happen when people of different worlds work together. 

More backstory below the cut.
