[Karneval] Gareki, Reinvented for Our World

What if Gareki wasn’t some fictional anime/manga character but actually a living, breathing human who lived in our world, in this day and age? What would he be like? What would be his hobbies?

A Week of Karneval is in full swing, so I thought I’d mix things up a little bit and try a headcanon post! Here’s what I think Gareki would be like in real life:

• Tech whiz: Instead of bombs, IRL Gareki would be good at handling all types of technology, from computers to cell phones to the kitchen sink.

• Fight Club cult member: I’m not sure why, but I just picture Gareki loving this movie… Perhaps it’s the psychological aspect of it.

• Cross-country runner: IRL Gareki would still be competitive, but he tends to struggle with contact sports. His lean physique makes him an ideal long distance runner.

• Zip hoodie hoarder: Just like his anime counterpart, IRL Gareki loves zip hoodies, especially his dark blue one.（＾ν＾）

• Driving enthusiast: It’s not so much the cars that he enjoys but the driving gloves.

• 90s music lover: Particularly Oasis, Weezer and Mariah Carey (but he’d never ‘fess up to that last one).

• Scouted model: What a waste if a face that pretty wasn’t plastered all over billboards! I highly doubt Gareki himself would seek a modeling career—it’d come to him. He’d probably just do it for the money, not actually taking it seriously.

• Avid self-help reader: He likes reading the ones without the moralistic fluff.

• Paintball gunning pro: This shouldn’t even need explaining.

• A soft spot for small, cute animals: But he’d never tell!
