#oofuri au

[kayzowl]

merry oofmas briarrrrr, are you sick of me yet >:D @aliosne @oofurixmas

I immediately latched on to your spies/assassins suggestion as well as kikumomo, so in this AU Kikue and Momoe are competent spies both training up their (currently incompetent) protégées. Momoe and Abe don't know yet that Hanai is Kikue's son... it will be a big third act twist, so shhh, keep it a secret.

Izumi and Mizutani make gadgets and do man-in-the-chair stuff for them back at hq, probably overseen by Shiga because otherwise they would get nothing done, ever. (That is mostly a lie, they are both competent, they just also horse around approximately 110% of the time. maybe sakaeguchi and the rest of the team can also be there with various specializations. hamada did not finish the training so he is an information broker on the outside that they use all the time)

They get a mission to investigate a (short, loud, filterless) star athlete after he shows up a bunch around some longtime enemies and they start wondering if he's a target or a recruit or a third worse thing, and his teammate with horrible social anxiety ends up getting caught up in all the drama, as well. :)

my @oofurixmas gift for @mskermit​ !!!!! OOFURI PACIFIC RIM BABY!

I had a whole fic I wanted to write for this that I plotted out and set all kinds of nonsense up for but I didn’t finish it in time. Hopefully I can finish it eventually!

Bonus:

I'm terribly sorry for the delay!! My Oofuri XMas 2022 Secret Santa gift for @kayzowl -- I really adore your Pokemon AU with Chinchou and Mareep!! I took the liberty of making the Mareep shiny <3 @oofurixmas

hello, i really love your world building on witches i think you said something in an older ask for people not to copy your witch au but are we allowed to draw fanart of your witch designs, such as haikyuu and oofuri witches?

Well, its very old now, so if you want to create your own witches in my world I think that's totally cool, just put a little shoutout to me in the description or such! That is, if you want to use my worldbuilding straight up! Witches aren't exactly invented by me, so if you just want to draw witches, go ahead! ^ ^

And of course you can draw my haikyuu and oofuri designs! Again, just give me a lil credit in the comments!

I'm rewatching Oofuri and I can't get mp100 baseball au out of my head

[hijackedhoneybeeez]

Can you tell us your history of being in fandom? You have so much on ao3 and I'd love to know the pipeline

oh woof buddy the pipeline youre asking for is a tough one! im just gonna speedrun reliving my shipping history right quick

HiJack, or ROTBTD: it all started when i watched Hot To Train Your Dragon and Rise of the Guardians during the same summer. i somehow ended up googling the two together, and boom, i discovered HiJack (Hiccup/Jack Frost). Hi, does the "hijacked" in my url make sense now? anyways i started writing for them and, by extension, the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom for a while. had a couple HP AUs for them as well, so thats why that series is dinged in my ao3 history as well lol theres some fics for them that didnt come with me from my travels from fanfic.net to ao3, so theres more out there LOL! (38 fics on ff.net, some crossposted to ao3. so its safe to assume ive written close to 100 fics. OOF)

AbeMiha, Big Windup: this was before i had tumblr. one of my favorite artists for HiJack, someone ive long since lost track of, posted their fanart on tumblr, and i noticed while diving through their art tag this show called "Oofuri" or, Big Windup. turns out, it was a baseball anime, and was the first anime i ever seriously watched! AbeMiha was my main there, and i wrote a few things for them too!

KageHina and KyouHaba, Haikyuu: one sports anime led to another. theyre like crack, okay? anyways of course i shipped kagehina, wrote a couple things there, but really tripped and fell for kyouhaba, a semi-rarepair who really took off. i stayed there for a bit! had a lot of fun!

Klance, Voltron: i ran into the loving arms of this one too. forced my little brothers to watch the show as well. it was a great time. i think i also submitted some fanfics to a short story class i was in at the time? it was wild

BakuDeku, BNHA: how could i not have started with this one? theyre amazing and perfect to me.

InoTan, Demon Slayer: dude, these guys were so silly and dumb i had to love them. fun fact: my highest viewed and kudos on the entirety of my ao3 is for InoTan! i love them

Creek, South Park: i have no excuse. they're cute! they infected my brain like a parasite and wouldnt leave for the longest time

Chilaios, Dungeon Meshi: my current beloved who i would lay down my life for!!

really, every single fandom ive gotten into has either been recommended to me, or i have been influenced to watch via my beautiful and amazing tumblr or twt moots. i owe them my life.

but yeah, thats my shipping/fandom history! this all started in 2013, so ive been fandom strong for roughly 11 years now! yippee!

abe, inching away from the static electricity of a curious mareep: what does it want??

mihashi, clutching his precious new chinchou: to play, obviously!

Happy Oofuri Xmas @shemi-snacks ! (And sorry for being late!) I really liked both your suggestions of a baking cookies theme and a mermaid AU so my original plan was to make a comic combining the two, but by the time I cut my idea down to ten pages I had to realize I could never draw it all in time 🙈 So instead I made an illustration of the ending. I hope you like it!

[rddyatbat]

Mutuals, oofuri fans, and friends alike how would we all feel about an au where Mihashi retires from baseball because of Tommy John Surgery complications and takes up art instead and watches Abe continue on in his baseball career eventually becoming a coach for a group of lowsy but impressionable first years.

All the while Mihashi draws Abe and the places they go together. Mihashi aches to be on the field again, to feel his cleats digging into the well raked dirt of a mound, and to be able to be the only one Abe sees again. Even if just for a second he wants to be the only one Abe focuses on, he wants Abe to look at him and yearn for him the way his sketches of said man reflect his own yearning.

It's a terrible slow burn (because oofuri is nothing if not just one two decade long slow burn) and Mihashi thinks Abe will never want him the same way he wants the catcher turned coach, but Abe has only ever been looking at Mihashi.

He sees Mihashi everywhere, in nervous tics he picked up from the blond during the time he spent with the retired pitcher, he helicopters the kids on the team because he can't do it with Mihashi anymore and finds himself making extra riceballs when he packs his own lunches before work (he doesn't realize it until him and the first years are eating during practice but he hands them out to the kids who want them or whoever wins at rock paper scissors or an at bat challenge lol hes a bastard).

There's a film over his eyes that makes him only see Mihashi no matter how much he tries to blink or rub it away.

helloooo <3

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

i cannot think of an au i would love to read rn (although i'm realizing i really love canon divergence, i love what ifs), so an au i have read and loved is this oofuri genderbend (cis girl Mihashi) and this knb genderbend (genderfluid Kasamatsu) (and i guess genderbends can be canon divergence, so we're back to that anyway haha)

genderbends in sports fandoms are really interesting to me in general

36. Do you visualize what you read/write?

i went and did some reading to see what i visualize, and i think i do spend a fair amount of mental energy on blocking characters in a scene even if details are not mentioned (i will just make something up), but i don't really think about the specifics of what they look like. and it really takes me out of a moment if a particular pose is mentioned and i think it's uncomfortable (any time someone puts an arm around someone else's shoulders), then i'm basically anticipating when they will move out of this pose that i think is awkward lol

does this mean that i prioritize this when i'm writing? no <3

41. Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.”

i'm still in my knb era, so i gotta link Man-to-Man here is an excerpt under the cut:

“But,” says Takao, setting down his depleted milk packet, “what if I need to? We’re not going to have them forever, you know.” He looks at Midorima’s face. “When people go into teams with third-years on them, at the end of the year, the third-years graduate, and then-”

“I know that,” snaps Shin-chan, though Takao wonders if he does. Being on the same team for three years may have made the Generation of Miracles thoroughly sick of each other, but Takao sometimes misses his own yearmates, the ones who gave up in the face of Teikou’s supremacy, the ones who just didn’t aim as high as Takao has decided to. Even as uncomprehending and unsympathetic a comrade as Midorima Shintarou is better than standing on the court by yourself.

“Well, they’ll be going to a better place,” he sighs.

“...University?” says Shin-chan acidly.

 Takao sighs harder. “Yes,” he says.

i just think it's so funny but also so well characterized. Like, Takao's joking around but then cut right in there's this insight into his thoughts and feelings that get a little tender, and then cut again immediately to him still doing his bit, just to annoy Midorima. i've read a lot of fic that i love and will re-read, but this really is one of the ones where i'm like [points] that's how i wanna write.

As soon as i rewatch knb and finish ooo and reread oofuri and dna and then rewatch dna also and then read my irl nonfiction baseball book and then the ooo baseball au will be real
