How I Became Ten Shadows’ Daddy

The first time I transmigrated, I was disoriented and nervous, flustered like a six-pound, two-ounce baby. Damn it, I'd heard of cosplayers transmigrating, but the worst anyone else got was starting out face-to-face with the original character. Why did I get tossed straight into the script and have to start over as a fetus? Just thinking about the passionate nonsense I'd spouted with my group chat made my scalp tingle. Not a Heavenly Restriction, but Toji Zenin, heir to the Zenin family's ancestral technique, the Ten Shadows Technique. And on top of that, a crossover idea I'd excitedly suggested while rewatching Jackie Chan Adventures: What if a dad with cursed energy had the Shadowkhan as his technique? The chat went wild, and all sorts of theories and headcanons flooded in. When I cosplayed with my friends and we took proper photos, our makeup artist couldn't stop thinking about Ten Shadows Dad. They hadn't drawn the scar by my mouth yet, so they had me wear a temporary fan-made secret identity. Then I transmigrated, becoming the Ten Shadows Dad who was invincible in my own wild imaginings. I was at a complete loss. This is a meandering diary-style story, with mountains of headcanons and out-of-character writing. Don't overthink it. Probably no pairings, but those who know me, know. I'm an old chaos gremlin. Feel free to pick your favorite; I'll take all the bets. Theme: Don't casually run your mouth about a character when cosplaying. It could make you miserable
