@jay-lea YESSSSSSS. I see her being just like, what’s cool here on earth? Poetry and flowers are beautiful everywhere I should probably focus on those AND THEN SHE’S SO PROUD TO SHOW HER PEERS WHAT SHE KNOWS
(Bonus points if she’s a little desperate to see good in the world in their circumstances and as much as she cares about the culture for their mission she just really wants to find something on earth to lose herself in)
(Bonus bonus if Mako knows something about trying to use plants to help your own growth from grief and she doesn’t say anything directly but developes a soft spot for Taiki as they garden together)

I think you could do a LOT of interesting things with Taiki

I WANNA TRY. I’ve always been hesitant to write much with the Starlights, but I’m at a point where I don’t care about an drama and and actually want to do the leg work to male sense of their backstory and personalities.

I’ve had THOUGHTS about Taiki for a while, mostly around her particular brand of awkward nerd, like, canon almost gives us hipster-lit-nerd Taiki, but it always falls back on making her rivals with Ami, which she IS, but it’s because they have contrasting types of intelligence, not the same (just like Ami CAN read Taiki isn’t BAD at math/science, but she’s not gifted in it and she can write circles around Ami, especially when it comes to creative stuff)

Granted I am absolutely basing this on that one episode where Taiki quotes poetry at Mako and Usagi (Whitman, I think?). THIS NERD LANDS ON A PLANET AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS READING POETRY IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.

Also based somewhat on that ep, I pair her more with Mako than Ami, I think they’re complimentary.

I’m on a Three Lights Kick I guess and I just want to say that while the anime (and other versions? idk it’s been awhile) paints Seiya as Kakyuu’s closest companion, I feel like Taiki makes way more sense in that role. Seiya becomes the leader in Kakyuu’s absence because she’s the fighter and they’re in a war, but Taiki in everyday life is more of the second in command to Kakyuu. She’s an advisor, absolutely, and more importantly, a confidant. In what little we see of Kakyuu, she seems like she’d naturally gravitate towards more toward Taiki’s quieter artistry, even though she of course loves Seiya. And Seiya loves her dearly, but rather than being a best friend/girlfriends situation, it’s much more princess/knight.

AU where Yaten and Haruka work the same shitty retail job to get by and Haruka throws herself into it and cares deeply while Yaten is like can you PLEASE tone it down the more you do the more they’ll expect from the rest of us

LISTEN. The thing that wrecks me about SeiUsa as an endgame ship is that they start out as two people low key trying to use each other to fill the space of people they’re missing (likely with more self awareness than they’d ever admit to) but then they choose each other over their supposed one and onlys once they have them back AND THATS JUST SUCH RICH STORY GROUND
