Not sure if you follow it, but there was a recent spate of ‘Shikako and Kankurou have a theatre war’ headcanons/ficlets over on the forum (and I think I remember you expressing something about them and The Arts at some point…)

Oh reeeeeeaaaaaally? Sounds like fun, anon, thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out!

Well, my head canon regarding Shikako and Kankurou’s relationship is greatly based on their canonical theater war during the Land of the Moon arc. And how, even though Shikako would really very much like not to be on stage, she somehow ends up there and how hilarious Kankurou finds it.

Shikako is very accepting of Kankurou’s not-so-Inner Theater Nerd. It’s not as if others discourage him or anything–because the Puppet Corps are a key part of Suna’s culture and military–but I wonder how many support his passion outside of battle puppets.

And, also, all the weird shit that happens to Shikako is very good source material for his future play.
