//show this to you like a cat showing a mouse// What if little Dynamis. What if "inheritor of family business to keep the prophecy of the Legendary bladers" Dynamis. Mr "I have been the guardian of this temple all my life" Dynamis.

My headcanons for Kyouya Tategami

(This had been in my drafts for three days)

He used to do martial arts but he quit (specifically, he was a red belt in karate)

He likes 2000s rock music and his favorite band is Linkin Park

Kyouya is a gamer

His favorite games are Dance Dance Revolution, Apex Legends and fighting games (because he’s competitive)

He can dance

Ginga and the others were shocked when they found out he can dance

Even though he says he doesn’t read, Kyouya’s a fan of Warrior Cats

had a very stupid kyoben meet-cute idea on the train today,,

kyoya, being the paranoid prick that he is, feels someone staring at him on the train. he looks up and meets the gaze of a stranger wearing a beanie and seeming deep in thought.

this must of course be a challenge. kyoya holds the stranger's gaze, determined to assert his dominance.

benkei, the stranger, is very flustered by this. he just couldn't help but stare at the cute guy on the train and accidentally caught his eye! why is the cute guy glaring back at him??

after a few seconds of benkei being frozen in embarrassment, he lowers his eyes to his lap, blushing furiously.

"ha! i win!" kyoya declares loudly, because he thought the stranger had challenged him to a staring contest out of the blue.

benkei is too flustered to correct him.

reviewing the silver pegasus episode of metal fusion and it only further cemented my hc that hyoma knew about ryo's survival all along

- theres no fucking way the guardian of koma village isn't gonna know about ryo surviving and being healed for MONTHS right under his nose

- hyoma lies and manipulates people at will to protect koma village and the people he cares about. if ryo genuinely convinced hyoma that the dark nebula would hunt him down if they knew he survived, hyoma would keep the secret

- there is no way ryo makes it up the mountain to leave gingka the letter on the shrine so soon after a fucking volcano collapses on him. hokuto or hyoma must have had to do it for him

- while on the subject of ryo's extensive injuries (re: VOLCANO COLLAPSE) I firmly believe that hyoma must've helped hokuto with ryo's healing process. a DOG did not drag ryo's sorry ass back from the brink of death all by himself. a dog did not wrap those casts or heal those scrapes and burns. sorry. if not hyoma then ANYONE but hyoma is a pretty safe option because he's able to understand what was at stake should ryo be discovered

- in the silver pegasus episode, when gingka's friends come to koma village and try to follow gingka to the shrine, hyoma doesn't participate in opening the door, nor does he follow them when they are finally able to do it. instead he hangs back with hokuto. he has faith that gingka will pass the trial yes, but I also believe that he knew the contents of ryo's letter in advance, and knew it wasn't some crazy upgrade to pegasus waiting at the summit

(bro says this and then fully just does not help LMAO)

- by now he's gotten a good feel for gingka's new friends and the lengths they're willing to go for him. it could be for his own curiosity and concern about his childhood best friend, yes, or it could also be needing to report back to ryo as to how gingka is recovering after his "death"

- not in this episode but in the end when ryo's identity is revealed, hyoma is pretty quick to accept that ryo is alive and only did what he had to do for gingka to grow. iirc he only has like one or two lines and he says "it's because [ryo] is a good father" that he did the whole thing with destroying gingka's pointer and stuff (in response to benkei questioning this particular parenting move)

- I'm just saying if you watched your best friend grieve the death of his father and be traumatized bc he feels that his dad's death is his fault, and then become *re-traumatized* after facing his dad's killers and losing... you wouldn't be THAT quick to accept that orphaning your kid is a remotely acceptable parenting move. even if it's only temporary. ryo must have had a long time to convince hyoma

- gingka's other friends push back a bit more when ryo explains his choices (except Kenta but he's like 9 it makes sense he wouldnt). even if they didn't, hyoma was gingka's closest friend and knew ryo personally prior to his "death". it doesn't otherwise make sense that HE of all people just accepts ryo's reasoning

- i can see an argument for hyoma not knowing that ryo changed his identity to be phoenix, but again given that hyoma shows complete willingness to lie (he even lets gingka's friends believe he was part of the dark nebula), it could go either way for me

I'm sure I have more to say but it's late lmao tldr hyoma definitely knew ryo was alive wayyyyy before the reveal and probably helped with his recovery too

wowie if u like my silly hc u should read my ongoing fic, so who was I to you, my love?

the premise of this fic was the idea that hyoma knew ryo was alive and intentionally kept it from gingka (and thus an exploration of the impact it'd have on their relationship). it's quite a bit more extensive than that now and even has some lore for hyoma that I made up (including how he becomes the guardian of koma village) so if any of that sounds interesting at all please read it I never stfu about it and it consumes at least half my waking thoughts

more sillies for u if you read this far ily

Takanosuke x Sakyo Moodboard

a hc about them having favorite sanrio characters (Takanosuke's fav is Pompompurin, Sakyo's fav is Badtzmaru), this is a gift for @andro-dino :3 (I FUCKING LOVE UR ART ISTG AND YOUR TAKASAKYO HCS ARE SO CUTE EVEN THE DRAWINGS)

I hope you love it!

Another quick MFB headcanon time but I think that only Bladers with the affinity to magic (like Ryutaro for example) can control their beyblade to an extreme and creates domain/dome of illusion through compressed air/hallucinations.

And if my memory is correct, there is Ryutaro, Damian and? Faust so far.

[catharsis-scrawled]

I think Tsubasa isn't Tsubasa's legal name, but it is their real name. They chose a gender neutral alias for nonbinary reasons before coming out to anyone, but now, its the name they like better and the one used by their friends, who Taubasa is their true self with, so its their real name.

shits about to crumble but idc yall

dashan would probably gift julian everything for his love and in returna, he would have to write him an email about his appreciation to his gifts

[lady-lazagna]

hello tumblr user lady-lazagna.

what are your current tsubasa thoughts?

i know you like to think about him so i'm putting him in your head

Hello tumblr user fullcaps-ethan.

It is true, I do like to have him in my head. I keep him in a little cage up there. Don't worry about it, he has a hamster wheel, a water bottle, and some grain to nibble on👍 While he's up there, I like to do a little Angsty Projection.

The main projection point came from the "outsider looking in" feeling. I had already had this portrayal of him in my mind for a while, but after Metal Fury and the Legendary Bladers debacle, it solidified.

Almost all of the bladers in Fury are hoping that they were chosen to have star fragments, unaware that this was mostly predetermined by ancestors. And when they're told about this, and how the remaining chosen blader has to fit into the specific category of Winter constellations, hope is lost for a lot of them- Tsubasa included.

The show doesn't dwell too much on this for him, since the "not feeling worthy" storyline is given to Masamune (for good reason, that storyline fucked💚❤), but I like to dive into how my main boy Tsoobs feels about this (because I need his perspective in every situation, because I am sick and unwell).

A fun little tidbit about Tsubasa's constellation, Aquila, is that it's mainly a Summer constellation (appears between June and October, and is a point in the Summer triangle). And who ends up being chosen as the legendary blader of Summer? His absolute favourite guy on the planet, Ryuga.

That has got to be salt in the wound of not being chosen; to have the guy who not only tried to destroy the world and hurt all your friends in the process, but hurt you specifically in a deeply personal and traumatising way, be chosen as some kind of hero destined to save the world from the ultimate evil. And he doesn't even do it! He fucks up Zeus's Barrier and then dies because he was too prideful to work with the team. How unbelievably insulting to every other blader on the planet who would've been 100 times more worthy.

Tsubasa spent the whole of Masters learning to rely on and work with his friends. He knows he never would've fucked up like Ryuga did because he doesn't have a problem working with the team. But instead, Ryuga got the power, wasted it, and traumatised yet another one of Tsubasa's friends in the only selfless act he'd ever committed. Dying was the only good thing he'd ever done, Tsubasa would think, spitefully.

But oh my god he absolutely Cannot say that in front of any of his friends; they all admired and respected him as a true blader, no matter what he'd done! So he must keep all these feelings to himself, or they'll all think he's a terrible person with no compassion. Just continue to say nothing, and you'll keep the peace. Besides, the legendary blader of Summer is someone who deserves it now, right? Why continue to be angry?

The legendary bladers are the saviours of the planet. Even though every other blader in the world contributed to taking down Nemesis, they were the ones that assembled and fought the villains all the way through. Everyone around them fades into the background. Tsubasa wishes he could fade like that too, and be able to do his own thing without having to stand beside people far superior to him every second of the day. But for some reason, Director Ryo just won't let him. He continues to drag him to the forefront of every issue alongside the legendary bladers, so he's always feeling like he's working with people who don't need him. What is being a trained spy to having the power of a star, anyway?

So there he stays, bitter and utterly inferior with a pointless existence. Maybe if he bothered to communicate any of his feelings to his non-legendary friends, he could get some support- or maybe he'd just make them feel worse as well. Who's to say?

thunk emoji... ryo & ginga with doji & masamune

Yall want me to make mfb headcanons

[washisart]

Personal headcanon time for Chris: Chris was a cowboy or grew up alongside relatives who is a cowboy. He dressed very cowboy-y attire in his flashback that one time. He probably grew up on a ranch before joining the military/mercenary work.

He is probably good at dealing with ranch animals, especially horses. A certified horse gal.

[catharsis-scrawled]

I started thinking about the Japan gang gathering at Madoka's place to play video games and that led to smash bros headcanons about who they main, how good they are, and what franchises they're familiar with. Based on brawl because this show aired in the Wii era.

Gingka: Mario. Bad tier. Very little gaming experience. There probably isn't a game store in Koma Village. Does not know who the fuck most of these characters are.

Kyoya: Fox. Mid tier. He's not into most of Nintendo's stuff because he thinks it's juvenile. He likes Star Fox though and he's not beating the furry allegations about it.

Madoka: Samus. Champion of the group. Hardcore gamer. Will give herself handicap settings. More or less familiar with the whole roster.

Kenta: Ness. mid tier. Really likes Mother and Pokemon and has dabbled in some other games.

Benkei: Kirby. Good tier. He kept it secret during the face hunter days, but he actually really likes these silly kid games, especially Mario and Kirby.

Hikaru: Sheik. Starts off mid but gets really into fighting games while she's not blading. Eventually she becomes a decent rival to Madoka and they'll meet for one on one matches. Doesn't know most of the characters, including Shiek, but thought she looked cool.

Tsubasa: Link. Bad tier. They like strategy and puzzle solving but aren't used to the chaotic energy of this kind of game. Plays Zelda and Fire Emblem.

Yu: Jigglypuff. Good tier. Has raw talent but lacks the dedication to advance to Madoka's level. Huge Pokemon fan and likes several other franchises too.

Ryo: spontaneously joins a match one time. Meta knight. Bad tier and doesn't know anyone for the same reasons as Gingka. He just chose Meta because he's got a cool mask.

Theory of Beyblade DJs: Their Job and Skills

***This is my personal theroy/headcanon of the role and training of DJs in beyblade aka I’m making this up while sorting providing proof.***

---------------------

Ok! So in beyblade, there are a few unique jobs. We obviously have bladers and mechanics, as well as several WBBA positions like special investigators and directors. However, there is a much more prevalent job in the series that is never explained: DJs. 

So what do DJs actually do? 

DJs seem to be the spokespeople for bladers and the beyblade world. They narrate and announce tournaments, traveling from competition to competition to give live and insanely accurate play by plays of everything that is happening in the stadium. 

But they also play another super interesting role, they endear the bladers to the audience. We see throughout the series (but in Fury in particular) that when Blader DJ is anouncing competitors in tournaments, he tends to add descriptions to them, similar to a sports announcer. This would allow the audience insight into the bladers they are cheering for, allowing them to pick a side if they hadn’t before. 

This aspect of being the bridge between bladers and their audience actually offers up a ton of interesting opportunities. For example, during World Championships, it would likely be a country’s DJ to interview the representatives and present them formally for the first time to the country. Because sure, other bladers might know that person but majority of the citizens wouldn’t. They would want to see who’s representing them to the rest of the world (think of interviews with Olympic athletes).

Being the bridge for and presenter of bladers clearly allows DJs to get attached to bladers they see often, as we can see with Blader DJs friendly relationship with Gingka and crew. They seem to act almost like older siblings to bladers, cheering them on during matches and highlighting each individuals’ strengths. They become the support system for bladers in their area.

So in short DJs are essentially announcers as well as interviewers. They are both the PR team and support system to their bladers. They act as their voices in the stadium.

What does training for a DJ position likely look like?

To be able to analyze a beybattle, give live commentary, and calculate what is the best way to present a blader would mean that DJs have a very wide yet unique set of skills. 

They would have to be good at public speaking, projecting, and orating for the commentary, be skilled in statistics, physics, and mathematics, have good vision and memory, and a strategical mind for analyzing, and be trained in public relations and marketing for presenting bladers. And add on top of that they all seem used to being on camera and have good stage presence.

There is no way with those requirements and skills that DJs don’t do special training. The WBBA likely offers classes in the necessary subjects and if the DJ hopeful gets high enough marks, they can apply to shadow an actual DJ for several months. Shadowing another DJ would allow them to see the practical application of what they had been studying as well as letting hopefuls start to figure out their own DJ style while getting used to the cameras. AT the end of the apprenticeship period, the hopeful would then sit for a test and, if passed, become a DJ. 

They likely would start out DJ-ing at small events or subbing in for more experienced DJs. Once they gain enough practical application skills they typically are hired to be the permanent DJ of an area. And if they become well known enough, they can be selected to try out for the national DJ position (of course all these career steps can be skipped if the DJ shows enough promise/skill or if the country is desperate).

In short:

DJs are the acting announcers, interviewers, and supports of bladers in a certain area within the beyblade world. They likely have to go through intense schooling and an apprenticeship period to gain the title, hence why there are so few.
