MUSE Sawamura Daichi
HeadCanons
Professional/Scholastic:1. Daichi worked as a public safety officer for just over one year. He knew almost immediately that it wasn't for him, but wanted to give it a year to know for sure. After just 4 months he acknowledged that due to bureaucracy and the nature of his job, he wasn't able to help people as much as he had hoped and he went back to college while working full time. It was a difficult decision to make, and he still struggles with thoughts that he wasted time and is behind in life because his first career choice was a mistake.2. Daichi quit his position as a public safety officer after securing a position as a physical therapist alongside Ennoshita at a local therapy office. He kept that job until he earned his 2 degrees in healthcare and several licenses and certifications, allowing him to transfer to a management position at a sister facility. He still keeps in touch with Ennoshita regularly and is appreciative of the guidance he was given by his junior while switching careers.3. Daichi is still pursuing licenses and certifications in varying sectors of healthcare. He has an interest in all things regarding personal wellness and his dream is to open a Wellness Center that would house multiple offices for therapies of all sorts. He just wants to help everyone he can, in every way he can.Daily Life:4. Daichi is a mama's boy, through and through. His mother knows more about him than almost anyone else. He tells her almost everything, and they speak nearly every day. They text constantly- usually pictures of random things they see throughout the day: their coffee, birds, bugs, clouds, new flower buds or sprouts, hard to find spices and herbs.5. Daichi lives by himself in a studio apartment above a 3-car garage. He is extremely fortunate for landing this private space- the owner of the property is an old family friend who happens to be from old money. The elderly lady used to babysit the Sawamuras- now Daichi pays her rent and tends to her yard. It's nice- he's taken ownership of the garden and is encouraged to think of it as his own.6. As an extension of his interest in all things healing, Daichi also has an interest in botany and herbology. He has two green thumbs and excels with propagation of plants- falling back on his frugal upbringing in a household of 7 to multiply what you have whenever possible. It's almost an addiction, and he gifts baby plants a lot when his windowsills get a little too crowded.7. Naturally, all these interests have culminated into a hobby of creating homemade tea sachets. Every few weeks Daichi will harvest his various plants for drying and rolling, filling little silk sachets with custom herbal teas. He will make fruity and floral blends for his family but prefers spicy ginger peel teas himself.8. Daichi is a polar bear. He cannot tolerate the heat- it makes him irritable and miserable. At home he wears tiny running shorts and tank tops if any top at all in summer. He does not like the beach. He runs his utility bill up with aircon keeping his place a very cool 15C/60F degrees.9. Daichi can cook about 7 meals very well. Anything else is an absolute disaster in the kitchen. He learned a meal for each day of the week to help out at home and never managed to extend those skills. He can only cook in large batches (for 7 ravenous people). He either freezes the leftovers or feeds his coworkers. His grocery bill is very, very high.10. Daichi enjoys working out. He's taken to weight lifting as he nears his 30's, trying to offset his appetite that never settled after high school, but also plays with the neighborhood kids in a strenuous manner (lifting them, carrying them, piggy-back riding them, bench pressing them). The combination has made him a strong man with functional muscle build- who the kids absolutely adore.11. Speaking of adoration- Daichi joined the neighborhood gardening club and those ladies ADORE him to heaven and back. The older ladies try to set him up with their daughters, and the younger ones lament those efforts. They frequently hire him to do handyman jobs around their homes. Most of the husbands also like him :> he's too oblivious to the admiring fanfare for them to be jealous.12. Daichi is a dog person, though he does not own one. He does cohabitate with a raccoon named Sir Meimei. He is the second raccoon Daichi has 'owned', the first being an old grouch he adopted in his dorm he called The Cat, or TC for short so he could tell people he had to go home to feed The Cat. Sir Meimei he found as a baby in his garbage, getting into his chinese leftovers. He's much cuter and friendlier than TC was. Sir Meimei was knighted after Daichi realized he wasn't a girl. He's exceptionally smart, uses the toilet and resides in one of the kitchen's lower cabinets during the day.Personal: cw/tw mental health discussion, body image discussion, eating habits discussion, etc.13. Daichi has bouts of mania that strike every few months. Fortunately he rarely has the depressive episodes that follow, but his mania can manifest in quiet ways that have him overextending himself for long periods of time. The most obvious indicator is insomnia- he dislikes sleeping as a general rule, but during manic episodes he despises it. He will be detail-cleaning his kitchen at 4am before he succumbs to sleep.14. Though it's improved over time, Daichi still has insecurities about his physical self. Having always had a huge appetite, he tends to be heavier and simply stockier than average, and if he doesn't workout fairly strenuously tends to get a bit of extra girth around his waist that's hard to hide and bothers him.15. Subsequently, he sometimes gets touchy about his appetite and eating habits. He dislikes going to the grocery store because he sees his shopping cart and knows it appears he's buying for an entire family, not a single man living alone. He sometimes includes two beverages for his delivered meals so no one will know all that food is for one person. He knows nobody cares and he's being irrational, but it still happens.16. Daichi has an interest in mechanical things and engineering, and is a self-taught handyman. He finds it therapeutic to disassemble home appliances in order to fix them. His mind has recurring thoughts of rebuilding humans as he does this, making analogous connections and wondering about the human condition, and his decision to pivot to a career in healthcare/wellness. He sometimes wonders who will work on him, and how much work he needs.17. Daichi loves his big family, but he's not sure if he wants a family of his own. He never had privacy or peace & quiet growing up, and while he enjoyed the chaotic environment and appreciates it for how it shaped him, he values those things now. The peace and quiet he has in his own private space is something he didn't have until well into his twenties- since he moved out of his parents' home and straight into the home of his lovers at 22. It wasn't until he became single and got this place of his own that he realized it might be okay that he doesn't want what his parents had.18. Still, he's human and vulnerable to being homesick or wanting of company. Luckily he lives near a lot of family he can visit, and his siblings are mostly able to come visit on a whim. But he does wonder if he'll ever feel the urge to raise children with someone. At the moment he has no desire to do so, though he does love kids. He's already raised 4 Sawamuras, 2 raccoons and over a dozen Karasuno crows.
Shipping & Romantic Headcanons
Interpersonal/NSFW
**This portrayal of Daichi has a sexual disorder categorized under genital aversion. It is a condition the mun also has and is written as a sort of catharsis to handling the interpersonal complications that come with this dysfunction. Mun is capable of writing interactions without this headcanon, but would appreciate the inclusion as it colors a large span of this Daichi's history.1. Daichi is pansexual with a cis male lean (mostly because mun cannot rp nsfw scenes that involve vaginas due to her sexual dysfunction).2. Daichi is a gradient of polyamorous and does not get jealous. He is not in favor of open relationships, but likes the idea of the person he loves being loved by more than just himself. His first committed relationship lasting more than a year was with two other men who invited him into their established relationship. Daichi removed himself when the other two wanted to start a family and Daichi didn't want to impede their success.3. Daichi is a romantic! He won't always admit to it, but he's a sucker for all things romance. He wants to be woo'd. He wants the flowers and dates and courtship. He wants buildup to first kisses and hand-holding. He's a sap. If rushed into a first kiss he will be upset. He will hold it against them. He will pout.4. That being said, Daichi can be pretty dense when it comes to romantic intent. He grows very close with his friends, and doesn't always see lines that are potentially being crossed. He's an advocate for abolishing toxic masculinity and engages in more physical contact than many are accustomed to. This can sometimes lead to some ambiguous practices that some would say is more than platonic. It's a common occurrence for people to think he's in a relationship with someone he thinks is just a really good friend.5. Daichi has been quite popular, and keeps his friends for life. He has contacts for everyone he's met since middle school, and has messaged every last one of them at least 3 or 4 times a year. He doesn't have many close friends. Many assume he's very social with how many friends he has, but the truth is he doesn't spend time with many since they all assume he's too busy.6. The sexual dysfunction he has is a gradient of genital aversion that only applies to his own genitalia. He does not allow any one to touch his genitals in a sexual manner, not even himself. He prefers that part of himself to not be actively acknowledged during sex, though he can functionally use it. For this reason he generally tops to avoid complications with explaining his disorder. There have been times partners have mistaken his 'don't touch me here' as a challenge or just forgotten in the heat of the moment, so he rarely bottoms unless he fully trusts his partner.7. When he was younger (early 20's) and still trying to figure himself out, Daichi attempted a type of exposure therapy with his boyfriend to try to "cure" his disorder. It did not end well, and he consequently was celibate for more than a year afterward.8. On a lighter note, Daichi laughs about the way the next boyfriend responded to being told about Daichi's disorder once he knew enough to set the ground rule. The boyfriend had looked at Daichi's tented lap, looked back at him and said "Well, the lord giveth, the lord taketh away." Daichi had punched him in the chest, but they still made out and dry humped until they came in their pants.9. Daichi has a penchant for pretty underwear. He doesn't broadcast this preference, but when he's feeling himself he'll usually wear some lacy boyshort panties and a matching bralette under his street clothes. He prefers being called pretty more than handsome even though he knows he's not conventionally the type to be described as such. It's a fine line- if the compliment seems forced or insincere it can decimate his mood. But if its genuine he will fold like a melting house of cards. Still, he can be the most self-conscious when someone with decidedly more feminine features is calling him pretty. He's working on it.10. Daichi is invested in his friends and partners. He wants to know everything. He thrives with deep conversation and feels intimately connected when he can learn more about someone. He is genuinely interested in the small things, the big things, the secret things and does not have a judgmental bone in his body. He is intuitive, empathetic and resides in the gray area of most things to see all sides. He finds the good in everyone and more often than not falls a little in love with it.11. That being said, even being the romantic that he is, Daichi has a negative reaction to the term 'love'. He's had a bad breakup in the past- it was a relationship he put his entire faith in and when it ended abruptly he was forced to rethink his stance on 'love'. Now he swears its nothing but brain chemicals created by proximity over time- and because of his sexual disorder he's fallen into a secret mindset that he'll only ever be a supplement to an already existing relationship, or a stand-in until his partner finds someone they can fully be with.
