disliking your father for personality traits you have yourself but keep firmly repressed

[plbrdkp]

Among the Teikō gang, Seijūrō definitely wins in the genuinely well-adjusted department, like he does in almost everything else. His own childhood and upbringing are, of course, nothing to sneeze at, rigorous as they were with all the adult responsibilities forced upon his child self. Losing his mother during fifth grade and not being able to grieve her properly. His father, cold and distant figure he's always been, not realizing the error of his ways until Seijūrō nearly collapses from exhaustion after pushing himself to the brink, trying to make up for the first-ever loss of his life that was the Winter Cup in his freshman year.

Despite all that he has endured, Seijūrō shoulders through in an effort to reclaim his life. To start living for himself, on his own terms. It's what his mother would have wanted for him. And though his father may be heavily misguided, there's still hope on that front as well.

In Masaōmi agreeing to let Seijūrō see a professional to help manage any mental strain that will befall him due to his dedication in making an example of himself for his peers, in setting the standards for what it means to be truly great, to excel at every endeavor you undertake. He can't unlearn the lessons of his childhood after so long, of how his father chose to raise him, always fighting for his spot in life and his place in the world. Masaōmi's teachings were too ingrained in his mind; he practically lived by them, viewing them as dogma even. But it was never too late for a change of heart.

And after seeing his son lie in a sickbed, the same way his wife once did before she was taken from their lives by an incurable illness and ultimately passed on, Masaōmi's frozen heart began to thaw. Silently promising to an unconscious Seijūrō and in his wife's memory to practice leniency from now on. To prevent such a sight from ever happening again.

Sanrio Characters I'd Assign/Give the Teikō Gang™

Exactly what it says in the title, here are some Sanrio characters I'd give the gang if the collab allowed for more niche picks! This post was inspired by me just reading the character entries on the official Sanrio website for this year's voting campaign >:3💖

My Melody's friend. This young girl sheep is kind, but can occasionally seem a bit spoiled. Her most charming feature is her soft baby-pink coat of wool. Her favorite food is meringue cookies. She likes to pick flowers with My Melody and chat with her.

Momoi first because I'm sick and tired of my girl always getting excluded from official art and promotions😤🩷 Sweet, lovely, a little spoiled, but charming through and through. Everything about her just screams Momoi to me! Plus, I definitely don't mind the idea of her and Kagami as matching besties~

Mysterious ghosts who give you a "Hanamaru" (like a gold star) for your hard work today. The ghosts lurk in the vicinity of everyone, and each person seems to have a different ghost. They will appear without your knowledge and gently praise your daily efforts.

Kuroko, next! I was so upset when I discovered this guy because he's like the perfect pick. Like yeah, sure, Cinna matches Kuroko's aesthetic and all, and has consistently been the most popular Sanrio character in recent years, which essentially makes him a protag, but this guy also fits! Not only in aesthetic but also personality!

Kuroko being the quiet, often unnoticed presence that he is who still deeply values effort? The idea of an invisible ghost gently praising people from the background is so Kuroko-turned-Sanrio-character it's not even funny.

Prince of the Giraffe Star, this fellow loves company and the attention of others. His horns light up whenever he uses their wondrous energy. The ball-like object he always carries allows him to fly anywhere he wants, including the Land of Dreams. Pau Pipo means 'a little happiness' in star language.

Purin was a great match as Kise's little guy, but this guy resonated with me just a tinsy 🤏 bit more. Idk, there's just a sweetness to him that is emblematic of an aspect of Kise's character, which I often feel goes unacknowledged.

Something innocent and full of goodwill that makes it hard for someone to dislike him even though he's exasperating and obnoxious to be around. He just wants to be the life of the party and a ray of sunshine in order to brighten up your day! What's so wrong with that?👀✨

This male calico cat is a rarity! (So rare, they are thought to bring good luck!) His neck collar looks kind of like the costume of the famous Kabuki character, Tasuki. When Nyantaro walks, the ringing of the bells around his neck are sure to catch your attention. The cute heart mark on his back is perhaps his most charming feature.

His name is Nyantaro. NYANTARO!!! Nyantaro = Shintaro. I legit cackled when I read this guy's character description. He also reminds me of the manuki-neko Midorima got from Kuroko as a lucky item in the Replace PLUS novels. Additionally, male calicos are a genetic rarity, which ties into his fixation with luck and ensuring the odds of the universe are perpetually in his favor😗🐾

Badtz-Maru is one mischievous little penguin. His favorite foods are high-end sushi from Ginza and Poripari Ramen. He dreams of owning his own business someday. He seems a bit twisted, but he's actually not such a bad guy...??

No alternate pick for Aomine, the penguin matches his energy to a T🐧 Rough-around-the-edges, a foodie, has hidden aspirations, and is secretly a softie? Granted, I don't really have much to work with since this guy's description is one of the shortest in the entire cast, but I think they go well together~

Eggs are yummy… boiled, baked, or raw. There are many ways to make an egg, but eggs are so lazy (gude gude in Japanese). If you look closely, you just might notice that the eggs that you eat entirely lack motivation.

I don't really think I need to explain myself on this one. Although, I definitely love the matching color scheme Mura has with Kuromi in the promotional art, but Gudetama is the mascot of “why try” and that’s… just Murasakibara distilled. In terms of personality, I definitely feel like this is an obvious choice. He is the egg.

As tall as five apples and as heavy as three, Hello Kitty is a bright little girl with a heart of gold. She loves to bake cookies and play the piano, and dreams of one day becoming a pianist or maybe even a poet. She has a gift for music and English and a soft spot for Mama's apple pie. Hello Kitty and her twin sister, Mimmy, are the best of friends.

I actually really like Hello Kitty for Akashi! Having read her character profile, I think she's perfect for him and matches his gifted overachiever energy, lol. Plus, she's a mama's girl and they're both icons!

I debated whether I should pick Aggretsuko, but feeding into the future corporate member and severely overworked aspect of his personality felt a little boring to me.

I'm also a huge supporter of the “Akashi is a Cat” agenda, so if I had to give him an alternate pick, I'd probably go with Mellotune🐱💕

kuroko no basket is like. all the adults in our life failed us. but for awhile it was ok because we got to walk home together. no one sees me but you do. i love this thing so much but i hate it for not saving me. i think he's going to save me or i'm going to save him. i'm crying at the literal crossroad of my childhood then crying with joy at the start of the rest of my life. hey you inspire me and i resent you for it. hey do you want to get milkshakes. hey the idea of losing all of you split me in two also i have a trauma disorder. i'm going to ruin myself to give you a win. i'm going to win so you'll come back. i'm going to win because then we'll all be able to sit and have dinner together. it's about a comeback but there's no such thing as a quick comeback in basketball.

Friendly reminder that you should

Write that fic

Draw your OC

Redesign that blorbo

Plan that comic how you want

Create the content you want to see

Be cringe

Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

Do you ever think about how Akashi's family is essentially the equivalent of modern nobility? That the mention of his last name alone is enough to turn people's heads and his face is probably familiar to a lot of people, not only from years of appearing on national broadcasts for official interschool tournaments such as the Winter Cup, but also from gracing the covers of magazines and granting interviews as the heir and only son to one of Japan's richest families and business conglomerates.

His last name is its own kind of social currency, but his face? Recognizable everywhere. Some know him from basketball. Others from Forbes-style profiles on dynastic wealth. More still from glossy press photos in GQ Japan or feature articles on Japan’s “Rising Young Titans of Industry”.

Akashi and Hayama as the first clip and Hayama and the rest of Rakuzan as the second clip. That's how I see it ⭐️

I love how Akashi fans either hate Masaomi's guts or actually kind of sympathize with the guy

felt like doodling a quick akashi for no reason in particular xd

Akashi's workload is usually very demanding on account of him being the elected student council president, captain of the basketball team, and maintaining his class rank by being on top of his studies and exams. And that's to say nothing of his almost hellish, hectic schedule. There's practically no time to rest or much opportunity to take it easy when one is expected to set an example of undisputed excellence. And thus, it is often said that chasing the shadow of perfection usually personifies madness.

So when Akashi Seijūrō—human that he is, much to his dismay—reaches the limit of his already staggering mental resilience, it is usually not the prolonged exhaustion of burnout that awaits him as a consequence, but rather an unfortunate bout of derealization.

He would sit at his desk and stare at his hands after completing whatever last bit of student council paperwork or pending assignment he had to get done for the time being and just detach.

The backdrop of his room would start to blur and come out of focus, and his hands—pianist hands, people often referred to them, tapered as they were and callused on his left from his double mastery of the violin—would be afflicted by an imperceptible tremor.

As the telltale signs of dissociation start to set in, he could almost hear a voice stirring within the dark recesses of his consciousness. Urging him to let go, to allow his other self to take over, for Seijūrō to relinquish the tightfisted grip he had on the reins of his self-control and let him regain access instead. That was his purpose after all.

The manifestation of his second personality was caused by a desperate need to stay afloat. To remain upright as his father's Atlas, to continue holding the world on his shoulders, bearing its weight without the slightest hint of strain. His dutiful son who went without reproach.

Seijūrō always felt at his most vulnerable in those moments. He felt illuminated from within, the cracks in the facade of his threadbare composure highlighted for all to see. He would remain seated at that table inside his room for hours to come. Lay awake on his back, unblinking, all throughout the night until slivers of dawn peeked between the small gap in his curtains, chasing away the shadows that lurked in his room but not from his mind.

Even without a wink of sleep, he'd get up in preparation for another tedious day at school—that needy, godforsaken place that demanded so much of his attention and efforts.

He'd go through the motions of managing his unceasing responsibilities as he's always done: flawlessly, impeccably, without fail. If he's noticeably more dour in doing so—if the set of his jaw remains tense, if the severity of his gaze was made worse by the shadows under his eyes, if the tone of his instructions during practice was colder and more cutting than usual—then he hopes for the kind understanding of his peers and colleagues.

Even he, cordial and pleasant though Seijūrō normally may be, was allowed to have his bad days every now and then, was he not?

Besides, the departure from his usual attitude wasn't in any way a permanent fixture. An overnight venture at a certain someone's apartment was hopefully enough to keep him grounded until his general good humor eventually found its way back to earth.
