That one always cracks me up. XD I'm so happy I have a Yama!drape icon in my life.
Speaking of Yamamoto, since teruame asked about Tsuna below, I'll do Yama here and then do Tsuna.
YAMAMOTO TAKESHI!!
1. I have NO IDEA if this is based off canon or if it's just a weird idea I somehow got into my head (or maybe I got it from someone else's fic or RP), but I've noticed that my Yamamoto makes a lot of pop culture references. It's part of his whole "life is a game!" personality, I guess. Also he's a dork. He makes baseball references whenever I can get him to, also. It's just part of how he sees the world and puts it into terms he understands the most easily.
2. Speaking of how he sees the world, Yamamoto has a tendency to grasp things more subconsciously than consciously. Like, when he gets something, it's instinctive; he doesn't think about it much, he just knows it on some fundamental level. He's not stupid, but his intelligence is such that it's very subtle because he hardly even pays attention to it.
3. The one thing he is extremely perceptive and intuitive about is his understanding of other people. Especially the people he's closest too, Tsuna and Gokudera and Squalo, but other people too. He seems to see the whole picture behind someone else's behavior and actions; he gets the why of what they're doing, not just what's there on the surface. This is one of the reasons why he likes almost every single person he's ever met; he can see the good in people even when they're not necessarily upfront about it. (The other reason is because almost every single person he's ever met is in some way or other hilarious.)
I think one of the key distinctions I try to make when I write Yamamoto is that while he is a simple person, he's not simple-minded. The world is just more or less simple to him; the stuff that doesn't come intuitively, he just places in some frame or reference where it does make sense (hence the spots/pop culture references, I guess). He is able to filter out the complexities of things and work his way down to the one or two most important ideas and that's what he files away for future reference.
