Actor AUs are one of my favorite things. Get rid of all the drama and tragedy for a moment and just be some Guys Hanging Out. So I was very glad to see actor AU brainworms elsewhere and especially with such cool art to go along with it!!
funnily enough, actor aus arent something im usually super drawn to! this one just came to me and the visual potential of jin and kaz acting completely opposite towards each other as in canon was too funny to pass up. that said, its actually become rather heartwarming as well! i love the fake relationship ive made in my head, so ill add some additional "headcanons" under the cut! (and of course tysm for the compliment ♥)
masanori (kazuya's actor) and isshin (jin's actor) are the only people in the cast actually related, the rest of the mishima/kazama clan is cast purely for looks and believability (as well as performance of course)
isshin's casting was a BIT of nepotism, sure, but he was also an up and coming actor who would be perfect for the role, so he was the first choice. like his father, he's REALLY good at his job
isshin and hwoarang's actor actually get along super well, and unlike masanori having to fight his son, they actually enjoy their character's rivalry a lot
masanori and heihachi's actor get along very well too! he's a veteran actor who used to play hero types but gets cast in more villainous roles as he got older. hes a good guy lol
for masanori and isshin's first scene together (the final confrontation in tk4), they actually had to take breaks between shots because masanori is a baby who cant take hearing his baby boy say such terrible things to him sdhfjkndsf. honey, youve got a BIG STORM COMING
masanori absolutely hates the makeup time it takes for his devil scenes, and the one he had to sit through for 7 nearly had him going insane. isshin was sympathetic but also laughing at him a lot
despite this, isshin is actually even MORE restless than his father, and thats part of the reason devil jin is designed with much less prosthetics
isshin's mother died when he was a child, so masanori has raised him on his own for the better part of his life. incidentally, he might actually end up marrying jun's actress lol?
(this is me speculating on 8 or probably after but) they both knew jin's introduction would lead up to his taking over the series from kazuya completely one day, but masanori's final day on set was a lot rougher than they expected. they actually both ended up really upset lol
Even after all the events of Tekken 8, I still don't believe that Kazuya and Jin hate each other that viscerally like they do Heihachi, especially Kazuya. Some of the grudges they hold against one other are personal (Jin hating Kazuya for trying to kill him in T4 when it was actually Kazuya's devil, or Kazuya trying to kill Jin because he gets in the way of his world domination plans), but they simply remain on that level - their fight against one another is mainly motivated by different goals and ideals that don't actually hold a lot of personal history between the two, because Jin had never encountered his father prior to Tekken 4, nor was Kazuya aware of his son's existence before the events of the fourth tournament.
It is more logical that their hatred for Heihachi goes far deeper than anything, because he was the only person that had a huge influence in their lives, and a very negative one, of course. With Heihachi having had backstabbed and killed both of them (Kazuya twice and Jin once), I think the writing team could have taken a chance to make a plot point where Kazuya and Jin bond over their shared resentment towards the old man and team up in order to kill him while reluctantly trying to accept one another as father/son, with Jin still being wary of Kazuya, considering he was told by Heihachi that his father was "the worst of all and rotten to the core", but becomes conflicted on the inside once Kazuya reveals the truth about himself and Heihachi in the end.
It would be an interesting concept indeed, as well as adding to the evil father trope and potentially setting up Jin's corruption arc that wouldn't lead to whatever the hell storyline in Tekken 6 was, but rather something more complex and intriguing, as the young Kazama was designed to be a flawed hero, in-between good and evil.
This small change would make the whole story a dozen times better than it is in canon and I am still dissapointed that the writers have not considered this in the slightest.

Yes, Jin is a bottom and he gets railed by both of them. Yes, he likes it because he's a slut and because he loves his partners & friends.
Jin's Angel Form was foreshadowed in Tekken Bloodline when Jun said to Jin "You're a Kazama, and it's important to me to use that power for good" if i remember correctly. I wonder if Jun has an Angel form as well considering she's a pure blooded Kazama while Jin is half Mishima, half Kazama and a quarter Hachijo. 🤔 Maybe Jin always had that power within him and Jun might had known about it. But he needed a little push from her and to be purified to unlock it, as he had the Devil Gene in him being more prominent.

Now, Harumi isn't exactly... nice about it anymore. She's willing to do whatever it takes to get Lloyd to be what she wants. and in one route, she succeeds. But that's not the canon ending here.
She keeps Lloyd locked up, treats him like an animal, and is the only person showing him affection. She continues this for a week and gets... something like what she wants. But it's not quite there yet.
While this was happening, Koko was looking for her son. She'd told the ninja to stay out of it, not knowing who they were of course. But... well, they have to look for Lloyd. They feel partially at fault for this... especially Kai.
They eventually find him, in the middle of the "training" Harumi's been doing. Kai sees this and immediately runs forward and tackles her away from Lloyd. She yells out that this is Lloyd's chance for revenge, and Lloyd attacks the others.
It goes on for a while, but eventually Kai gets Harumi restrained, and Cole is able to get ahold of Lloyd. Kai sees him and...
And... things start getting better after that.
