A set of facts from this post, on request from @littlestartopaz. “Kid Death, Soul Eater. Also Harry, from The Blue Sword”
Death the Kid
- Canon: Kid’s hair stripes apparently go all the way around his head once he’s a full-blown shinigami, and that’s adorable to me for some reason.
- Headcanon: I tend to imagine that Kid had a rough time adjusting to ‘normal’ people. Like, the other meisters were reticent with him because of…who he is and who he’s related to, and he comes at everything with a very arrogant perspective, especially early on, so I tend to think that he has a horribly rough time learning to make friends. Like, Patty and Liz were probably his first close friends. I’m pretty committed to that.
- Heartcanon: Oooohhh, I dunno, I was pretty pleased with stuff. I feel like Kid actually has a devious side under that wide-eyed anxious exterior, would’a liked to have that pan out more fully.
- Soulcanon: Kid becomes a shinigami and replaces Death and has a few conversations with various people who protest that it’s just not traditional for the Grim Reaper to dual wield pistols. They make lengthy and detailed arguments against his actions, there are sources, there is, on one memorable occasion, a PowerPoint. And Kid nods and ‘hmm’s and he continues to dual wield pistols. I don’t fucking care how it happens, he makes Patty and Liz immortal somehow.
- Crotchcanon: I actually have no idea. Because every time I sit down and try to think about Kid and sex, I inevitably end up wondering about the logistics of sex with a shinigami. Like. How does that shit even pan out? Do you need to worry about condoms, or are death gods naturally infertile? Or in control of that sort of thing? Does Death have a body under that robe? Do the weird black shadow-tentacle things come into play? HOW DOES THIS WORK. So, as you can see, I have never made enough headway on this train of thought to have an opinion.
Harry (Angharad, Harimad-sol)
- Canon: Harry Crewe is canonically good with any and all (non-demon) animals. Giant ill-tempered warhorse? Sure. Loner hunting cat? No problem. Harry Crewe is also a stone-cold badass, and all of you should read The Blue Sword and appreciate her.
- Headcanon: Harry definitely causes small-to-middling disasters as she learns to use her massively powerful kelar for things other than bringing down mountain ranges. And as handy as that ability to fucking wreck an opponent is, it’s a little hard on Corlath’s City, and they all look on with a sort of benignly exasperated affection. Kelar tends to cause problems, but even Corlath never 'fixed’ a stone door and accidentally melded it with the frame.
- Heartcanon: Damarian weddings have some kind of family-of-the-bride aspect and Mathin gives Harry away, or whatever the equivalent is, as the Daughter of the Riders. He cries a little and she cries a little and no one ever says anything about it. Also, Corlath very very quietly slaps Mathin with some kind of title, whatever he can get away with, as the father of their new Queen. Mathin isn’t informed of this for almost an entire year.
- Soulcanon: Aerin and Harry meet. In the flesh. At some point. I don’t give a fuck who argues with me on this. And Aerin visits Harry in her dreams and at first Harry’s very deferential and nervous, but she lightens up over time, and Aerin gives her advice on being a queen and being a legend and being a mother. (At some point, when Harry is just exhausted of everything and frustrated with everyone and ready to ride off into the desert just to get away, Aerin turns up and tells a story about a very vain girl named Galanna who got her eyelashes shaved off and could have been rolled out a window, she was sleeping so heavily. Harry laughs herself sick in the dream and wakes up smiling for the first time in weeks.)
- Crotchcanon: Okay but we can all agree that there was definitely some desperate, maneuvered-around-wounds, I-can’t-believe-you’re-alive-and-here sex in Corlath’s tent after that reunion scene, right? And once everyone was recovered and back in the City, there was definitely a day where Harry was just like “Update: I moved all your meetings and acquired snacks” and they just literally spent an entire day having sex in the blue stone garden. I can’t be alone in that assessment.
