new suspicion arc tactic. ran tells heiji that conan told her who he is. heijis like ‘oh okay kudo finally fessed up’ thus unintentionally confirming every suspicion. ran secretly records it on tape, brings it home to conan. series ends as conan implodes in anger at heiji for ruining the masquerade and ran laughs menacingly in background, echo, fade out

this would definitely work tho

wait isn’t this basically how ran was going to confirm conan’s identity in one of my fics? haha

that’s how Hakuba confirms it in my fic Spark (more or less)

detectivecatstorm:

i thought about this today

has heiji ever done bad things on purpose hes literally either being nice or is righteously angry or just being stupidly unaware or something

meanwhile kudo ‘i almost let my soccer idol get away with murder’ shinichi

I was going to comment that he was rude to Hakuba at first without reason or provocation but I think that fits under ‘stupidly unaware’ so…

Heiji is just a sweetie, I guess. Sigh~ I adore him.

(Also I first read that last part as ‘I almost let my soccer ball get away with murder’ and I was thinking about all of the times he’s kicked stuff at people and knocked them unconscious like GEEZ VIOLENT MUCH?)

on my love of Hakuba

olive-the-olive:

All I want to add is that one of my favorite things about the fandom’s perception of Hakuba-Heiji conflict is that everyone CONSTANTLY quotes the “hot-blooded” thing, but… the one who came up with that phrase… was Conan………..

I KNOW RIGHT

In fact, this is the first thing he says to Heiji that isn’t nice, polite, or a compliment:

Which isn’t even until page 3 of 54-11 (the koushien is 54-9 – 55-2). And as we can see, it’s the douchebag on the right who… has been a jerk to everyone so far, actually, including Hakuba, who started it. 

(and then I reread the whole case again, swoon~)

This gallery contains 7 photos.

olive-the-olive: wait isn’t there a part missing from this? or was that not even in the anime and i totally forgot? you know, the other questions he bombards nakamori with? Oh, no, he totally asked more questions. A lot more questions. I didn’t include them in the photoset for comedic effect. 8D 

idk i’ve always seen rp as a kind of collaborative fanfic?

((I THINK IT IS. REALLY IT IS. And just plain collaborative writing when not in a fandom. RP is just great. Yes. Okay. 😀

….also I have been working on my chivalry/feminism/foil draft for you over the past several days with eager excitement and I’m finding image examples and skdlagjfs;dsaljfa thank you for being so interesting, basically.))

i dont interpret hakuba as being a huge sweetie? more like… very charming. he can be very nice and he can also very adversarial and even manipulative. he thinks a lot of himself and he wants others to think a lot of him too.

This is a perfectly valid interpretation, and one of the reasons why I like him as a character so much. I think he makes a fantastic antagonist and foil (more on this later) for this reason. I think he’s both, honestly. Certainly not without flaw, and there are good reasons why people like Heiji don’t like him. I try to play him from the mindset of “sympathetic villain.” I think his heart is in the right place, but he’s… often a bit too persnickety to be truly effective. 😀

And these Sweetieba posts are written to be persuasive and, yes, intentionally manipulative. I write from this angle as a stylistic choice (since this is a Hakuba blog it only seems fair that I would let his brand of influence set the pace) – and because it’s genuinely fun to challenge people to consider alternative perspectives on things, such as characters that may have been previously dismissed as just a jerk, etc.

So yes, a bit over-the-top, but that’s on purpose. 🙂 

…I do think that he’s sweet. But also a jerk. Both. A walking contradiction with vast potential for character development. A writer’s dream in a lot of ways because he’s so complex and SO different from the other Gosho boys. <3 <3 <3

((PS I was supposed to reply to you regarding Spider’s inclusion in the anime like, forever ago? But am still figuring out how I feel about it. I haven’t forgotten, though!))
