This sounds like an amazing combo and one where I couldn't predict the cr, other than it could be really really cool. 👀 Since he comes across incredibly friendly and polite and sociable and well-adjusted, always smiling, would die for a complete stranger, yet is so affection-starved and just wants a home to belong so badly it hurts—and utterly denies himself all of that and is ridiculously guarded about himself and tries so hard to never let anyone know how badly he's actually doing by hiding behind the most heartbreaking smiles and saying everything is fine even when he's so lonely it actually hurts to read the fucking manga sometimes.

he is DUMB and needs people to call him on his shit

Also LOL ABOUT SHIROU. From what I remember of UBW there are definitely a few similarities there in the stubborn gentle hero who wants to save the world but is also kind of clueless sense. Also hilariously enough... his hair was reddish-brown before it turned white from trauma/being cursed LMAO. must be a protag thing.

I'm excited!! let's do this. I just might be a bit slow on the TDM because I have a convention I'm a panelist at starting Thursday too hhhh.
