seiyasu headcanons

i just want to compile it somewhere this is like miscellaneous thoughts i've had about them.. reformatted from tweets so they're easier to read

headcanon height chart (without heels for seimei and mitsuhide)

i like this part of the fortune's fray event... i'm not sure how familiar the wyrmclan leaders are supposed to be with each other but the fact that ieyasu can more or less recognize seimei based on his silhouette/movements is nice.. also i'm guessing that he and yoshitsune both figured out it was seimei by the time of the second pic below but it's cute that ieyasu already assumed seimei wouldn't want anyone else to know while yoshitsune just bargains the information to elisanne like it's nothing lmfao...

i just want to bring this up because ieyasu's line is a lot longer in japanese, he mentions he likes oshiruko (mochi in red bean soup) the most out of all mochi types... seimei says he likes red bean mochi in japanese which is different but i like that the english localization made it possible to mistake the two... also they both seem to have a sweet tooth that's cute

the only time either of them kinda address each other lmao but i think it's so interesting that the english localization makes it sound like seimei himself requested ieyasu to help out when the japanese indicates that ieyasu was given orders (presumably by the shogun) to help seimei with the tournament.. someone mentioned that it's possible that seimei requested for ieyasu through the shogun but it doesn't seem the imply that within the japanese text... however with the addition of the english interpretation that seems possible hrrnn

i also like this line in japanese because he says "i hurried over" and given the fact that seimei was declared missing in hinomoto it feels like he was eager to see him again...

random assortment of hcs/etc idk how to format them:

• ieyasu and seimei's eyeliner colours correspond to each other's elements (ieyasu has red while seimei has purple)
• ieyasu mentions his father died while he was young while seimei's grandfather died relatively recently so i think that ieyasu became a wyrmclan leader before seimei did... this means seimei had to refer to him formally/as lord ieyasu :)
• if... i actually tied their ages to their zodiacs that means ieyasu is two years older but i think they would be only 1 year apart at most? i think a few months is ideal honestly... given ieyasu's lines about flowers and his skill having sakura in it i feel like he was born in spring?? while seimei gives off more autumn vibes maybe it's the red/gold hues..
• ieyasu dresses so warmly and he mentions how nice a kotatsu is during the winter i think it would be cute if he was really susceptible to the cold... and seimei is flame-attuned... i personally hc that seimei has low body heat (cold hands) but maybe his hands warm up when he casts spells.. ieyasu holding them to his face in the winter (<suddenly mega cringe)
• i think despite seimei deciding to live by the end of the cursed connections event he would still be really reckless with his life... ieyasu also mentions that he tends to recklessly fight on the front lines even though he's advised not to but i think he would still be more careful with his life.. it would be nice if that triggers ieyasu's overprotectiveness because i think that he would be so used to thinking he will die before those he cares about because of his shortened lifespan but seimei is in the same position..
• i don't think it's often that they sleep together because both busy but i think ieyasu would have a pretty normal sleeping schedule (i think sazanka would monitor it) while seimei tends to stay up to research maybe ieyasu has to drag him to bed sometimes akjhkjfs... i don't think he would sleep a lot though maybe those are eyebags under his eyes not eyeliner LOL like i think he would wake up around the same time as ieyasu...
