Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: E-F-G

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

Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Kennyo's goal and inclination is to be in harmony with his partner. If his lover is more passive and gets nervous about making decisions, he will take the lead, but gently seek for input to ensure they're still going in a direction that will make them happy. He'll try to build up their confidence to state their desires, too. He wants to be someone who makes his beloved feel safe and valued.

If his partner is someone who is very comfortable with going after what they want, then he's happy to follow, both in terms of physical intimacy and decision-making in general. However, Kennyo probably would be hurt and even frustrated if truly momentous decisions were made without talking to him. While he doesn't need to be dominant, he does want his voice to be trusted and valued, too.

Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Kennyo tends to forgive immediately. Everyone makes mistakes -- the Buddhas know he has made plenty -- and he cares much more about being at peace with his lover than about gratifying his ego. Fighting stresses Kennyo out, and he can hardly sleep or eat if his partner is mad at him. Even in arguments, he tries to stay calm and gentle, seeking a way to get back on the same page, and it's clear that being at odds weighs heavily on his heart. There are very, very few things over which he will raise his voice: if his beloved wants to throw themselves in danger, the pain and fear are too great for him to keep his calm in an extended argument; if they wanted to do something that would endanger other innocent people, the dissonance with his values would fray his composure. Again, though, Kennyo doesn't fight to dominate. His goal is always to bring himself and his partner back to a genuine, trusting place, and forgiveness from him is basically a given.

Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

The core of Shin Buddhism is gratitude, so, except for when he's at his most pessimistic and depressed, Kennyo generally tries to keep a grateful heart. However, even when he's feeling bitter about the universe at large, he still notices and feels grateful for the ways in which people and animals show each other kindness. He will especially notice if it's his beloved, because there's no one else he would rather pay attention to, and he will be sure to express his gratitude both in words and in acts of service to repay their thoughtfulness towards him.

He just wants to be part of the club

Was talking with @spookyflavors, trying to find a voice match for how I hear Error in my head, and she pointed me towards Wreck Gar from the Transformers Animated series, who is actually perfect once I imagine that voice saying lines from the Ask Error blog and what I’ve written for him --

But then she revealed it’s Weird Al with a buzzy robot voice filter and that’s just

possibly the most jilarious outcome I can think of.

Sylke (Undergloom Snyk) in the honey bee palette for Art Fight's #SproutFight2025! I think the palettes for this challenge are so pretty and inspiring. ☺️

Holy shit djsncnsnnxncnnc

@motherbugmoart​ requested Red & Snyk angst in the “my wife fucking left me” palette from @m-chromatic​‘s palette challenge. @kuroshiro101 and @archiarthur referenced the meme, though, and I couldn’t help but take it in a more silly direction asdlfjsadlljksad I think I’m pretty happy with it! Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this piece! -^^-

Fluff Alphabet for Kennyo: A-B-C-D

From this list. (Thanks @masamune-archive; I got the inspiration from you!) Instead of asks, I'm just going to do the whole alphabet, so here we gooooo:

Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Kennyo loves spending time with his partner going on nature walks, feeding animals, and attending flower-viewing festivals. Seeing his beloved's eyes light up at the beauty of the world fills his heart with unparalleled peace and joy. In these moments, he can't help but think of the world as a beautiful place, too. He'll be wearing a soft smile the whole time, grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Similarly, Kennyo cherishes simple domestic bliss. Preparing food together, gardening, cleaning up around the temple, reading in the same room, or chatting before sleep -- these everyday moments feel like great blessings to him.

Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

This depends on who his s/o is~! Everyone has a unique mix of traits to admire.

Traits that Kennyo may find particularly admirable are kindness, bravery, and integrity. In a world where survival often requires selfishness or self-erasure, and where the cruel rise to the top, Kennyo sees acts of compassion as heart-achingly beautiful. Helping others, fighting back against the cruel, and staying true to one's sense of right and wrong will call to him, an irresistible and undeniable resonance with what he values, no matter how hard he tries to deny himself.

Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Kennyo would hold his beloved close, seating them in his lap and guiding them through breathing exercises to help their body relax. In his deep, soothing voice, he'll remind them that these moments are just that: moments. They will pass, and he's here with them to help them stay afloat until then.

Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Kennyo is a fairly traditional man, so when he thinks of a happy future with his lover, he thinks of marriage, children (adoption is fine!), and ministering to Shin Buddhist followers in a new Hongan-ji temple town with verdant gardens that attract a lot of animals.

Trauma and pessimism cause him to fear that any happiness with his partner may one day be violently ripped away, leaving either him or them alone to grieve. As much as this possibility frightens him, he will not give up on his love, so he pushes his fears away to pursue his dream for a bright and peaceful future.

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.
