I was doing research for an entirely different thing but god, rip Sachi
He shows at least 15 traits of PTSD
when will SIU be a god and show me Sachi in a proper battle, literally scenes of him just show him practically swarming a whole room with vines and all his enemies destroyed with him
barely even breaking a sweat and I'm like yo, when will I learn the extent of his "special shinsoo control" and what does it mean by "he is absolutely powerful in one vs many fights"
I assume it means he gets stronger as he fights more people because that sounds like a typical Tower thing to do, BUT COME ON I want concretes
I definitely think te only person that can truly get him to chill and back off is Boro. Like, they were best friends before they even arrived on the Hell Train
He even said something like "first it was just me and Boro" regarding it
I think Sachi is the most well-behaved when in Aka's company though tbh. They're the most civil. He treats Daniel like a brat forever and it's still a little strained because you know
Daniel tried to kill them all but they're ok. And he just constantly baits and spites and acts angry at Boro but honestly he's the most chill he's ever been so far now that he's in Boro's company
The right side of his face still kinda appears to be a black hole. But when he goes super saiyan you used to be able to see a silver-white ghost of his eye; now, thanks to Lukas, that eye is dark red
Slightly darker than his normal eye but matching Enough
Sachi's pale ass somehow doesn't burn and it's probably because of his stupid shinsoo physiology. He's gotten healthier in colour since when he first arrived in mafia but u bet he still pale as heck
WHICH, INTERESTING SHIT: his body is literally basically made of shinsoo; he has blood and organs and stuff but what composes them is "shinsoo", this goes for almost everyone in the Tower
If you drain someone of shinsoo they legitimately wither into a husk or disintegrate
Basically it means pretty much every bit of his body is just. Energy. His blood, fuckin shinsoo.
Also bullshit: shinsoo reinforcement of the body means bullshit, like:
1. he can withstand normal sword hits with shallow cuts at worst, unless they're special swords that cut through shinsoo. also super resistant to being socked in most forms
2. similarly animal bites apparently wouldn't pierce his skin, unless he purposefully weakens himself like jesus christ
3. he just. either doesn't age or ages slow, like at the rate of a year physically for every 100 chronological years level. because his body is shinsoo. a TYL sachi would look exactly the same
the concept of that is hilarious because he'd probably still act the same
EVERYONE AGED AND GREW UP............. EXCEPT HIM
Eternally a 600 year old with a early 20s angst level
That's kind of sad because Sachi's kind of odd, skewed development is normal in the Tower; their aging is normal to them but it's weird in mafia, it's insanely old in mafia
So people are like "oh my god youre 600 grow up" a lot
He's like... mature but stunted at the same time, he's matured in that he's grown up and become super jaded as old people with PTSD do but at the same time he's had no time given to mature his emotions
Only steeping in anger and guilt and injustice for six centuries, those are the only emotions he's been sitting in
HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE HAPPY ANYMORE he can only be serious and that makes me so sad
Aka still has the capacity to be pissed and annoyed, Daniel has finally faced himself and was able to let go, Boro is still an idiot and is a fanboy. Says shit like "this guide freakin' rocks".
Most of all, Boro has genuinely smiled
Sachi though, not for a single fucking moment; the best he's ever done is utterly impassive neutral expression
He hasn't had a joking scene once, he's always serious and assessing other people
Out of everybody, his change, both in personality and by physical look, is the most drastic and that hurts man
The closest to a "joking" scene he's got is the fact that he fuckin ignores people and doesn't pay attention to threats. Which is hilarious but also it's kinda like... wow dude
I always make Bus sad by being like "People always brush off Sachi's behaviour like 'oh he's always like that' but he wasn't always like that"
I still definitely headcanon that he's way too good at basketball. Like come on. For the love of god, please
Basketball king Sachi, slam dunk some skulls
I imagine current-day Sachi would just be the most casual about it. He's like (ugh) (swipes ball) (three-pointer) "sachi what the fuck" (shrugs)
lmao encroaches 40 comments on my plurk even though Im the only one talking, I'm a winner and I have a lot to talk about Sachi okay
He's often alone in his own apartment which is fairly small, decent for one person maybe two
I imagine it to look something similar to like
There's plants here and there thanks to Lukas
He often leaves shinsoo baangs floating around in his apartment when he's alone as a source of light, as well as miniature practice on maintaining baangs
u kno when joel rumbles in he leaves a small storm of weird oddments
where did all these scented erasers come from
Just bright golden miniature thorn stars floating around like lamps in the apartment man
HAHAHA the low tabletop in front of the couch is probably just covered in shit Joel brings
A whole corner full of Joel's junk
Sachi leaves it alone and lets it happen for some reason
BRINGS SACHI SHIT HE THINKS JHE'LL LIKE
WNGLEKRNG That's adorable oh my god
Lukas hanging on the couch writing notes, "do you have an eraser"
Sachi throws a scented one at him, "...I wouldnt have expected you to have these"
"Joel brings them and leaves them behind."
you know all those little knickknacks u can find at chapters and barnes and noble
the shit you dont need but think you want anyway
half of the shit joel brings is probably that
look its magnetic wooden balls hahaha
stacks them on top of talbo's jar.
Sachi always leaves Talbo, the little dirt golem he got from baby Lukas, on te tabletop partially because it's a good place to get sunlight and it's just an easy place to put it where it won't get destroyed
slams a pomegranate on his table one day
i bought this from the grocery store
He sorta plays with the thing when he's alone by tapping the jar, balancing shit on the jar, playing with the shinsoo lights
with this look like cats get when they dump a mouse on ur bed
'be proud of me you piece of shit'
.......................congrats, do you want a pomegranate blood shake or
empties it into a bowl regardless.
sachi definitely has curtains because he feels like the people he makes acquaintances with would suddenly appear by the bedside window with literally no warning
probably gets curtains because it has happened
taptapping at the window ni the middle of the fucking night
lies in bed, tries to sleep, fails. taptap on the window, looks
joel with his face pressed against the glass
joel officially becomes the first person to actually get keys from sachi instead of duped keys from lukas, just. just use the goddamn front door next time
sachi comes home one day to joel meticulously doing his dishes
joel, in his kitchen, wiping a dish with bobby fisher-like intensity
'the specks wont wipe off'
'thats the pattern.' 'oh.'
'just go sit down you don't need to do the dishes'
does sachi even cook at home
'I'm the only person who lives here, why the hell'
like 60% of the time it's just halfassed but occasionally yes because he knows sasuke will spring the MAKE ME A DISH out of nowere every now and then
"im sachi faker not a goddamn five star"
i bet when he gets lucky enough to catch sachi at it
he chills out in the kitchen to watch
hands him carrots, 'peel these since you're sitting over the sink"
hands him back a bunch of awkward orange sticks
how much did you peel these
well theyre peeled arent they
yeah but next time keep them shaped like carrots
