@idkijwannadraw You know on the topic of brass knuckles maybe his childhood had something to do with growing up around some underground fight scene in the ground? 👀👀 Might just be reaching because of a fic I read though
Ik it’s a rly big headcanon that they came from his mom but even if that’s the case Im thinking of it more as a gift of protection since Mankira is kind of like brass knuckles, if They were made for him he had to be young, I wonder if anyone guessed right where Mankira came from
Mayb not obviously lonely or mayb he didn’t realize it until someone like him was right in front of him and hes like ‘Really? Im not the only one?’ Imagine feeling like ur the last of a solitary species then someone you feel is ur perfect match comes along. And he denies it.
