Yuu Maiki 舞木 ユウ // The Delusional boy
May. 13th, 2018 03:04 am
Canon: Makura no Danshi (枕男子, lit. "Pillow Boys")
This anime is basically just shameless fangirl fodder in which a series of extremely tropey/cliche anime male "types" are all condensed and showcased within a 4 minute long one-sided conversation cringefest for your viewing pleasure. No need to worry about being canonblind here since there's VEEERY little canon "story" to begin with! In fact you could easily bingewatch the whole series in less than an hour. Therefore, while much of the info I write below will be based on actual info from the show, a lot of it is also just headcanon and/or educated guesses based on official art.
Name: Yuu Maiki (Western order)
Age: 15
Height: 164cm 5'3"
Occupation: High School Freshman
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Gray
Dere Type: Tsundere
Voice: Can be heard within his one and only episode appearance here!
((Note: The above video clip is an example of how this character would interact with his CRUSH, and so there's a chance that people he doesn't know as well would be treated a bit differently.))
Summation: Remember back in high school when you went through your gothic/wiccan phase and you thought everything was against you but also thought maybe you had special powers that no one else knew about because you watched The Craft too many times and you wrote cringey things on your Xanga/livejournal page about it while listening to Evenescence/Linkin Park/My Chemical Romance nonstop? Yeah. This kid is going through a lot of that.
Yuu is a melodramatic boy with delusions of grandeur.

Additional info:
- Views himself as a loner, though that's not exactly the case. He does have a few friends.
- Often hovers around his 'fellow' freaks/geeks/social outcasts like this kid he knew from middle school (and yet, still, insists that he's all alone.)
- Wants to be left alone but also wants attention.
- Paints his nails black
- Had a small sty on his eye, thus the eyepatch. (It's a common thing that a lot of people experience)
- Takes medication for the pain which sometimes makes him drowsy.
- The eyepatch messes with his depth perception, which is occasionally a problem.
- Questions whether or not he really needs his eyepatch for a sty, or if it is for some other supernatural sort of reason (it isn't).
- Even when the sty does heal, he'll continue to wear the eyepatch for the aesthetic.
- Has a morbid sense of humor and says a lot of 'edgy' things that are designed to be shocking.
- BUT DON'T TAKE THIS GUY SERIOUSLY he's just a dorky poser at the end of the day.

- Doesn't participate in sports becausehe sucks at them they're too childish.

Backtagging: Yes please! My tagging speed is usually moderate-slow on work days. I am also perfectly fine with receiving tags that are waaaay late, as long as you keep in mind that I may not be able to get back into a very old thread if I'm super busy or lost inspiration for it.
Flirting/Shipping/Casual physical contact: Mun is fine with all of this! I'm OTA for innocent/gen interaction, though I prefer m/m only when it comes to potential romance.
Arguing: A-ok!
Maiming/injuring/horros: Minor injuries are just fine, we can play out more major injuries if you send me a DM first.
Fourth-walling: Mild 4th-wall breaking is fine.
Cross-canon: Of course! I actually prefer it this way most of the time.
Cross-medium: Outside of non-serious threads/memes, I'm not a huge fan of this, actually! At least not in terms of playing animated characters against RL people/actors. Not sure why but for some reason it's always easier for me to thread anime/video game/manga characters with muses from similar (illustrated/animated) genres. I find it harder for my brain to process a thread otherwise, when I see flesh-and-blood people opposite animated characters. It's a weird hangup to have but sadly it's true!
AU: I love AU, and I'm perfectly fine with assumed CR as well!
Mind Reading: This is fine with me! Just let me know so I can provide enough info to make it easier for you!
Warnings: None.
