A short Takemiya Keiko interview from 1998

My "All Things Takemiya" detective friend, Platypus, provided me with a two-page Takemiya Keiko interview scanned by @97tears from the now discontinued Hato yo! (鳩よ! - Oh, Pigeons!) magazine. It was a literary magazine published between 1983 and 2002—a publication you probably wouldn't look at if you were searching up on Takemiya, ig.

You can see the Japanese original taken from the 1998 April issue of the magazine, and my (poor) translation of it under the cut.

Takemiya Keiko Interview from issue #4 of Hato yo (1998) 

An interview with a master mangaka herself! 

I’ve always wanted to meet them! 1 – Takemiya Keiko 

“I wanted to draw real love” 

Takemiya Keiko. Born in Tokushima in 1950. Debuted with “Ringo no Tsumi” in 1968. Won the 25th Shogakukan Manga Award with “Kaze to Ki no Uta” and “Terra e.” Representative works include “Pharaoh no Haka” among others. “Tenma no Ketsuzoku” is currently being serialized in Asuka Magazine.  

I read “Kaze to Ki no Uta” during elementary school. It has left a very deep impression on me. I remember that when Ms. Takemiya is mentioned. It was like I was looking at something I was not supposed to look, and I still remember the thrill I felt.  Takemiya: Oh, is that so? (laughs) 

Thank you so much for being with me today.   Takemiya: And thank you for having me. 

Shall we start with what prompted you to become a shoujo manga artist?  Takemiya: Fundamentally, I was not suited for shoujo manga. I debuted in COM, and my dream was to draw manga that was neither shounen nor shoujo. But alas, the magazine in which I could draw my ideal manga was no more. My style didn’t have much “power” in it, so I inevitably had to choose a shoujo manga magazine. I think my art style was really uncommon at the time. But it was what it was, and I thought to myself, maybe capitalizing on that was the path I should take.  

Your works have an extraordinary depth as far shoujo manga goes... They have a unique art style...  Takemiya: It hasn’t always been like that. My shoujo manga technique was the fruit of what I have studied. It was not a result of my personal taste, nor my innate skills. Girls like that feathery, light touch. They like fine lines. But I didn’t have any of those. So, I figured drawing things girls would like a lot was my only choice. For instance, when I thought how they must like Europe at the end of the 19th century, I went on a trip as a result. I saw the real thing at its source, and did research on it.  

Then was Kaze to Ki no Uta born because you thought girls would like it?  Takemiya: That might have played into my choice of the time period the story’s set in. However, romance stories between a boy and a girl was the norm in shoujo manga at the time. You could only draw “And they lived happily ever after...” stories. And that happiness was only on the emotional level. It was normal to exclude all physical contact. But that is simply “affection.” I wanted to draw “real love.” I admit it was a little too sensational, but I thought doing it through same-sex love was the best way to go about it. That’s how I drew Kaze to Ki no Uta.  

The sex scenes between men were quite a shock for me as a little child. That’s how I learned homosexuality existed.   Takemiya: At the time, there was an official notice published by the Ministry of Education that stipulated that “You shall not draw a boy and a girl getting intimate!” However, if it was two boys, things were somehow fine... I thought I’d found a loophole! (laughs) 

These days, there are more extreme books labeled as “yaoi.” What do you think about them?  Takemiya: At the end of the day, doujinshi are doujinshi. They focus on personal enjoyment of a group. I consider myself a “craftsman,” and if I look at it from a craftsman's standpoint, I am not wholly satisfied with how they leave many things unexplained, or how they have no conclusion. At their level, I’d liked if those artists too felt more dissatisfied... If they aimed to be more conclusive. They have the talent to draw, so I’d love them to polish those skills. I’m sometimes told that it all started with “Kazeki,” and that I must take responsibility. And every time, I think to myself, “Oh... Re-really? Dit it?” (laughs) I wish someone drew something so awesome that it would blow Kazeki out of the water... 

I’d love that too! You called yourself a “craftsman,” but what exactly makes you think so?  Takemiya: I really love the word “craftsman.” I’m not interested in trying to reach an ideal of art that would not resonate with the public. I believe manga is something aimed at the general public. Otherwise, I would not consider it to have artistic value.  

Spoken like a real pro... Which brings me to Terra e... I think that’s the most widely-accepted manga of yours by the general public, and it was published in a shounen magazine. Why is it the outlier to be published in a shounen magazine?  Takemiya: I received an offer for it, but the truth is, I had always wanted to draw for a shounen magazine. That’s why accepted. But I needed to draw in the shoujo manga audience too, so I wanted the story to offer the best for both demographics. So I tried to have the concept to be that of shoujo manga, and the style to be that of shounen manga as much as possible.    

Is it different to draw for a shounen manga magazine, and a shoujo manga magazine?  Takemiya: You don’t have to hold back in shounen magazines. It fine to draw more hardcore stuff. But in shoujo magazines, that’s out of the question. There’s a trend that dictate that you should explain things in long-winded ways and spoil the reader, because girls like it when you reveal things to them through subterfuge, so don’t hit them directly with hard stuff. 

But after that, you’ve never drawn for shounen magazines which allowed you to draw as you wished.  Takemiya: Shounen magazines are mostly weekly. I cannot keep up with that. My art has fine details, so it takes me a lot of time to draw.  

Then will you be solely drawing for shoujo magazines in the future?  Takemiya: I can’t really say that I will. I’m currently working for a shoujo magazine with “Tenma no Ketsuzoku”, and with volume releases. I recently released an illustration book titled “Hermès no Michi.” I needed to base myself on documents and explain them in drawings. And they couldn’t be any kind of drawing, they needed to be interesting. Trying to come up with ways to do that was a very fun experience. So for starters, I’d like to undertake a work like that again. That kind of work I’m working on right now is a story about the fugitives of the Heike Clan in Tokushima.* 

*T/N: She is referring to “Heian Joururi Monogatari.”  

To finish our interview off, I’d like ask a question about the Year 24 Group (shoujo manga artists born around the 24th year of the Shouwa Era like Takemiya Keiko, Hagio Moto, and Ooshima Yumiko, who have influenced the shoujo manga world in the following years) which is still very prominent: Are you still conscious of it?  Takemiya: Year 24 is a thing of the past in the modern manga scene. I think it’s irrelevant now. Manga is evolving, becoming something else after being painted over continuously. I had fun when I was part of that group, but I don’t feel like dragging it out. I don’t want to cling to nice memories of the past as I work, and want to focus on how I currently think and feel. I want to do what I think is most fun at the moment.

in defence of the Earth Eleven and the whole Tsurufake thing

so. i think we can all agree that the fact no one finds the Tsurugi impostor (whom i'll call Tsurufake from now on) is very frustrating as viewers. however, i think people are a bit too harsh on the Earth Eleven in that regard, so i'd like to give my thoughts on the matter.

very long ranting under the cut:

the fact that Tsurugi was replaced by an importor is made obvious in every way possible for the viewer, and i insist on the word viewer. the scene where Tsurufake replaces him is shown to us, and we see Tsurugi go to Falam Orbius.

i'll first cover Tsurufake's appearance, since it's my weakest point. Tsurufake has purple eyes and eyebags to differenciate him from Tsurugi. and that's something i've always seen as just a way for the viewer to tell them apart? what i mean is that i think the Earth Eleven still sees Tsurugi's usual eye colour, it only exists in the viewer's perception to remind us that this is not the real Tsurugi. remember that the target audience is young children, after all. this makes even more sense in the game, as Tsurufake becomes playable in the postgame, so there needed to be a difference in his portrait and 3d model.

so, the Earth Eleven doesn't see any difference in Tsurugi's appearance. but what about his behaviour? surely this should've triggered a reaction. and it did, but not the one we wanted. before i go through every member likely to figure out Tsurufake one by one, i'd like to make a general statement.

how likely is this situation to happen? maybe i'm crazy or too socially awkward to understand, but if one of your friends starts acting weird all of a sudden, especially in an unknown environment where the future of the ENTIRE GALAXY is at stake, them having been abducted and replaced by an impostor is the last thing that will come to your mind, right? of course i get that in the world of IE what's unlikely for us isn't so much for them, but STILL. can you really blame them for not thinking about this scenario, when the most obvious answer was that this new environment and the stakes were making Tsurugi anxious?

i see you're still not convinced. so i'll talk about each character who was likely to find out one by one.

let's start with Aoi, Shinsuke and Shindou. Aoi and Shinsuke, despite having been around since the first season, aren't that close to Tsurugi. they've barely interacted alone, so i think it's safe to assume they don't know him well enough to notice. plus Shinsuke's too busy having a repeat of his CS arc to care (why does this character exist).

as for Shindou, in my opinion, it's because they've already grown appart during the first half of Galaxy. while Tsurugi kind of acts as a middle ground between Shindou and Tenma, it quickly becomes obvious's he's on the latter's side. which is why, while Shindou is seen talking to Tsurugi at first, he doesn't do it as much later on. this division, while minor, between the main trio, is what made them grow apart, probably without them even realising. Shindou still puts his full trust on Tsurugi on the field of course, but outside, i'd say he started to feel Tsurugi wouldn't understand if he tried talking to him.

now, on to the biggest part... Tenma. Tenma was the most likely to figure it out, Ozrock even mentions it. Tenma is the one who knows Tsurugi best, who was able to see through his facade and notice his real love for football.

well, first of all, there's the obvious 'Tenma had too much on his plate to worry about Tsurugi'. he's gotta lead a team of beginners in a space tournament that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy. the poor guy never gets to catch a breath in this season.

but, to go beyond that, i'd say that Tenma knowing Tsurugi well actually played against him. because Tenma knows Tsurugi is very quiet and doesn't talk when something's bothering him. so when he saw Tsurufake acting strange, his first instinct was probably "Tsurugi must be feeling really nervous, and miss his brother. i should give him some space". and, again, with so much to worry about already, he didn't try pushing further. it's frustrating of course, but understandable.

and finally, there's Minaho and Konoha. some were probably surprised that Konoha was the one to pick up on Tsurufake's weird behaviour and not Minaho, but i think it actually makes sense. Minaho analyses behavioural paterns and draws conclusions based on them. he needs to watch carefully someone in order to understand how their mind work. but we never see him examining Tsurugi's behaviour. the only thing that could've alerted him was Tsurufake staying away from Tenma, as those two were always together during the first half, but he probably put it on the account of the change of environment and the fact that Tsurufake said he felt sick.

as for Konoha, she doesn't analise, she understands people's heart. she's good at reading emotions. and, of course, while Tsurufake can copy Tsurugi's behaviour, he can't copy his emotions, which is why Konoha notices, FEELS something's off. problem is, she lacks the confidence to trust her instinct. and bad luck makes it so when she decides to tell Sakura, Tsurufake receives Tsurugi's memories, which allows to copy him better. so Konoha immediately thinks she must be seeing things and doesn't look further.

and that's all. while Tetsukado and Ibuki spent some time with Tsurugi in the first half, it's not nearly enough to notice something's off. of course i get why so many people are getting mad over the Earth Eleven not figuring out Tsurugi was replaced. i've actually been there. but i hope i managed to explain well enough how i think it's understandable on their part. galaxy's my favourite season, and while i understand why some didn't like it, i feel like the community is being too harsh at times. maybe i'll make another post to explain my thoughts on the Earth Eleven as the main team, if people are interested.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

HEYA THERE POOKIE BEARS🔥🔥 the voices told me to req for my wife akaashi “What are you doing?” “Striking a sexy pose.” “Well, sit down before you pull something.”

just for shats and giggles ( >o< )/!! i miss my akaashi fics so this will guarantee to fix my crippling depression !!!!

i also might pop in again for an osa fic hehe :33

xoxo,,, saku!!!🌸🌸

≪ back to fics masterlist

akaashi keiji x f!reader

a/n: i’m stupid i thought akaashi was the one striking a sexy pose HAHAHAHA i mean it's possible ... but unlikely 😂 anyway thank you for requesting sakuuu <3 hope this one's okay :,))

cw: timeskip spoilers, STRESSED akaashi, mostly humour, petnames (love, darling, babe), reverse comfort fic?

Akaashi rubbed his eyes as he yawned, feeling a throb of pain right behind his eyes. With strained eyes, he squinted at his laptop screen, and staring back at him were the words "page 206/632". Glancing at the clock on his desk, it read 1:56am. He sighed heavily, laying his head on the table for a second.

His boss' voice echoed endlessly in his head. "Keiji-kun, I hope you won't be too busy this weekend, 'cause I need these editions of the upcoming manga thoroughly checked and edited by Monday morning. I know you've already done a ton of work this week but this is just a little extra, I'm sure you'll be able to meet your deadlines." And with a dismissive wave, his boss had left the office.

The "little extra" Akaashi's boss was referring to was a folder of documents, each one a few hundred pages long. It wasn't the worst Akaashi had ever seen, but it was still a lot.

Don't get him wrong, Akaashi loved his job and he absolutely adored the mangas that they release, alongside the Tenma Udai. But recently, he'd been hounded by so many of his executives as well as the various departments of the company that he could hardly get a breather.

He wasn't a stranger to dark circles - they'd been a constant in his life ever since his third year of high school. Except they'd become deeper and darker than the abyss these past few weeks. He was stressed and exhausted, to say the least. Which was exactly why you decided that it had to stop today.

You had been encouraging your boyfriend to be more assertive at work, especially if he knew he couldn't meet - according to you - the "ridiculous and unreasonable" deadlines set for him. You had been looking out for him even more these few weeks too, taking over more of the house chores so he'd have time to complete all his work, taking over all the meal preps so he'd be fed while he did his work. Most importantly, you had been trying to drill it into his thick skull that his brain and body need a break, and so does he.

Unfortunately, your efforts hadn't been as effective as you had hoped, so you came up with the brilliant idea to order a massive, blow up Patrick Star costume online.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Walking into the office room the two of you had set up in your apartment, you saw him tiredly rubbing his eyes and laying his head on the table. Strutting up to him, you planted your feet in a wide stance with one hand on your hip, and the other reaching towards your leg such that your body was bent at the waist.

Your poor boyfriend looked up to see you striking said pose in the blow up Patrick Star costume, a corset around your torso, rocking 6-inch stilettos with fishnet tights down your legs. To top it all off, it wasn't even your beautiful face that greeted him, it was the bright-eyed cheery face of the damn pink starfish.

Akaashi was absolutely sure he was hallucinating. Probably going insane. Deranged, even.

"Y-y/n?" his voice cracked.

"How do I look, babe?" you asked from inside Patrick Star, voice slightly muffled.

"What... What are you doing?"

"Striking a sexy pose," you replied nonchalantly, still in position.

Dumbfounded, Akaashi's brain was short-circuiting. "Ohmyg- Well, sit down before you pull something..." he facepalmed.

"HEy! I'm not that inflexible, okay? I'm disappointed you think so low of my athleticism," you scoffed, crossing your arms - which were still in your puffy costume - and turning your nose up.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, darling," Akaashi chuckled, amused. You hummed in acknowledgement, satisfied.

"C'mere," he said, rolling his chair over to you before pulling you down onto his lap. Unzipping your costume at the neck, you pulled it back to reveal your face, smiling gently at him. He looked even more haggard up close, and it made your heart squeeze seeing just how spent he looked.

"What's all this for, darling?" Akaashi laughed quietly, puling at the ends of your costume.

"Well," you drawled, hooking an arm over his shoulder. "Since someone hasn't been taking my advice, I decided to take matters into my own hands and resort to more... extreme measures."

Letting out a breath, he relented, "I know... I'm sorry, love. I just get really caught up with work and I don't really know how not to stress about all of it."

Placing a hand on each side of his face, you planted a kiss on his forehead and murmured, "It's okay, Keiji. It's not your fault your bosses have unreasonable expectations of you. You're just too good of an employee." You joked. "But I'm serious, you need rest. This has been going on for way too long. It's already 2am and you know you can't finish all this by tomorrow morning, so let's just go to sleep already, okay? I'll even help explain to your boss why you couldn't finish this last document. Like, I'll literally call him up right now and tell him he's crazy if he seriously expected you to burn your weekends just for his stupid-"

"No- babe, please don't. I'll handle it, I promise," Akaashi interrupted, gripping your waist as if he could physically stop you from getting agitated.

"Good," You said, content. "You can talk to me if you're feeling overwhelmed, you know that, right?" When he nodded, you placed a small kiss on his nose.

"Now, I don't wanna see any more overworked, underpaid, stressed and exhausted Keiji. I wanna see my well-rested, de-stressed, happy Keiji. Okay?" You continued, pouting.

"Yes, ma'am," your boyfriend replied before standing from his chair with you in his arms. "Now, let's get you changed into your comfy pyjamas and we'll both get some rest, yeah?"

"Yeah," you smiled as his lips pressed against yours.

a/n: the term wife akaashi is gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of this week HAHAH

🎡 Wonderlands x Showtime's Affect On Eachother: An Analysis(? idk) 🎡

The thought of WxS never meeting eachother makes me so sick. Cough Cough this is from twitter but I will proceed to post on tumblr because. Smiles. Let's all learn on how WxS would've been if they all never met! With Poor Explanations

Tsukasa Tenma 🌟

Tsukasa probably wouldn't have taken steps to stardom, maybe his absolute selfishness would have not improved at all? Nor remember what he was TRULY aiming for? Maybe there could've been another way, but nobody knows. But how he acted in main story definitely wasn't gonna get him anywhere.. If he didn't agree to doing shows with Emu then, he wouldn't be where he is right now.

Sure, he would pass auditions and do shows in other places, but again, he wouldn't remember why he was going to be a star, and still be the same as he was in the main story. Tsukasa wouldn't realize that the Wonder Stage would absolutely help him in the future... and had no idea this would make so much beautiful memories.

Emu Otori 🍬

With Emu, the wonder stage would probably have gone boom already, with Phennyland also getting its "improvements". She probably would've been so saddened by it, having her dead Grandpa's place be changed like this, she SWEARED to protect it :( WxS literally were the ones to help her out when she was feeling down and confused on what to do over the possible change of Phennyland. They planned out the amazing show in Wonder Magical Showtime to save Phennyland, and they did!

And so on, Emu had gotten herself friends that she would always love and do shows with. And she is thankful for everything they've done for her, for the stage, for the park.

Nene Kusanagi 🤖

Nene has changed A WHOLE LOT. She's probably a bit shy still, but she has improved on her anxiety and trauma so much. That show in middle school she forgot the lines to affected her so much she had almost given up her dream of being an actress. Tsukasa yelling at her made it all WORSE. Using a robot to perform because she didn't want to face her audience after the incident, but it just made things worse. She didn't want to do perform ever again; But after getting reassurance from Tsukasa, maybe she could take a step forward.

Actually, from the support of everyone including WxS she was able to overcome her fear, and improve from her trauma, slowly getting more confident as time passed, and improving on her singing skills too, as seen in Canary. It's also thanks to WxS she improved.

Rui & Nene's Friendship 🎈🤖

If it wasn't for them, where else would she be right now? Where else *her and Rui* could be? Would they also have fixed their friendship if it wasn't for WxS? Short answer: Probably not. Actual answer: Since in middle school they were so distanced, it was obvious that they probably wouldn't speak on High School either. Rui did talk to Nene when he found WxS for the first time, but would they talk again after Nene messed up another show? The chances are low, because Rui would still be "doing shows alone" like how he said in Middle School. And yet, Nene still wouldn't find a way to help him.

So yes, if it wasn't for WxS, Rui and Nene wouldn't have closed the distance on their friendship. Nene would have been hopeless, just playing games as she used to say and Rui still alone, still being seen as a weirdo.

(ik he's still considered a "weirdo" but. you know what i mean.)

Rui Kamishiro 🎈

Do NOT get me started on this one. Rui said it himself, that WxS is his treasure. WxS literally changed his entire life, but mentioned by him, it is especially Tsukasa that "gave him the opportunity to change", since Tsukasa was the one to get him back in the troupe and in Wonder Halloween, even brought back his confidence to make shows his own way; Between so many other things. But both Emu and Nene have certainly given him a reason, too, and you all should never forget that. Rui treasures ALL of them dearly.

If he didn't join WxS, or atleast didn't join back, he would still be doing shows all alone. Maybe he would still be like how he used to be in Middle School. All alone. And in that case he wouldn't have so many other friends other than wxs like how he has them currently.

And there's a chance he would never have been scouted for Arcland? Well if someone there finds him doing shows maybe yeah prooobably but hey. Who knows?? But other than that he definitely wouldn't have healed if he didn't meet WxS.

Conclusion:

If WxS didn't meet eachother, they all probably wouldn't be where they are right now; The futures of the members wouldn't have been as much bright, and some specific members' mental health (such as Nene & Rui) probably wouldn't have improved much.

"But Asteroid yk they can find another ways right???" I am aware, BUT. As I said, Tsukasa would need to remember why he was truly a star and not be so selfish in specific occassions.

Emu,, well nothing much happening with her except for the fact one of the things that are most important to her was turned into something else, very much saddened by it, also some people probably wouldn't help her much with that fact.

Nene as I mentioned never reaching her dream due to her trauma surrounding her.

And Rui still doing shows alone, no one stopping by to see them, like always. Yeah someone actually kind could go and reach out to him but however that would turn out, I doubt that would do much of a change for him. PERCHANCE.

Yeah. WxS definitely changed eachother for the better and all of them wouldn't be more thankful. They are eachother's light of the darkness they were all once in.

The end. Long live wxs 🎡

[kohampster]

i feel like project sekai fans try to defend tsukasas parents too much. like yeah, they didn't intentionally neglect him and i get that their other child was sick, but there was WAY more they couldve done for tsukasa. they left him alone for hours, if not days when he was only 7-8 years old, possibly younger. they couldve left him with another family member like a grandparent, aunt or uncle. and even if someone like that isn't available they DEFINITELY could've hired a babysitter for him. the tenma family is NOT poor, they could afford a babysitter. theres was no excuse for them leaving such a young child alone so much. they do still care for tsukasa i know that, but they should've put more thought into him when he was younger.

Time Travel Not (pt 3)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Extra

[ -------4------- ]

'What does it mean to be a good captain?' is a question that has nurtured Takuto to no end since the day Sangoku-sanpai gave him his red band, with a few words of encouragement and expressions of trust.

'How can I help the team? What can I do for everyone?' he’d wonder.

'How do I keep everyone safe?' he’d worry.

He doesn't, that's the real answer.

He's no captain.

Endou has made it abundantly clear. 

The new coach's presence alone brought everyone back, something Takuto failed to do. He motivated them to train hard, something Takuto failed to do.

He united everyone. Something. Takuto. Failed. To do.

What he didn't fail to do, however, is get Coach Kudou fired, as well as endanger everybody he held dear through his impulsiveness.

(All he's ever been doing since the start of the year is trouble everybody around.

Maybe if he leaves, the Fifth Sector would leave everyone alone, too.)

------

Of course, people don’t leave him alone after that.

And by people, he means Matsukaze Tenma, the club’s most troublesome first year.

Takuro’s playing the piano when one of his maids informs him about Matsukaze’s arrival, and he’s playing the piano as he asks himself, why on earth did he even let that guy in.

Once again, it fails to make sense of his actions and feelings, so he stops abruptly.

Better have it over as soon as possible, so he can move on.

(“You’ll never grow out of that soccer of yours, will you, son?” His father sighed years ago, though it sounded suspiciously close to laughing. “Well, as long as it makes you happy. Just try to be more careful, will you? You’ll give your poor mother a heart attack.”

…

Does soccer really make him happy?)

“...you’re really amazing, Captain!” Matsukaze says, the awkwardness clear in his voice.

“With what?” Takuto doesn’t look up. 

“Being able to play the piano! Is that where Kami no Takuto came from? It’s incredible!” Shut up. “I really want to see more of Kami no Takuto!” Just. ” I knew last year’s final was really-”

A mess of a sound resonates as Takuto stands up, hitting whatever keys were currently under his hands.

“That was because the Fifth Sector allowed us a free game! In the end we were still doing what they wanted us to do!”

(“Deep down you have to know. We’re both doing the same thing - following the Fifth Sector. So, are you really in a position to judge me here?”)

“Captain…”

“I’m not Captain anymore.”

He can’t even face some random guy head on. How could he face the full-blown wrath of the Fifth Sector?

“I want to play soccer with you, Captain!” Do you ever listen to what people say to you, Matsukaze? “I want to play under the command of Kami no Takuto!”

“Do you ever stop!” (“As long as it makes you happy…”) “If I stay in the club, it’ll just make me hate soccer, I know it!”

(“As long as it makes you happy…”)

“I think… you’ve been protecting your love for soccer.” Matsukaze says after a moment of silence, the further down the sentence, the more certainty in his voice.

(How could he be happy, playing like that-) 

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s why you said that you’d quit. But if you quit, you’ll just make the soccer you love sad.”

What does that guy-

“Stop talking about soccer like it’s your friend! We disobeyed the Fifth Sector in our match with Eito!” Does he seriously- “Don’t you understand how much trouble that’ll cause for our entire school?”

“I haven’t done anything wrong!” Haven’t-

Ridiculous.

Takuto smiles, taking his soccer ball from Matsukaze’s hands. 

“There’s no use screaming over it. Soccer has no worth now.” It dictates the worth of everything else, though. School’s, people’s. Soccer means everything but soccer.

“I don’t think so! I think that goal we made in the Eito match is really important!”

(“Don’t forget that feeling.”)

“The soccer world is being controlled. By people who don’t even have a drop of love for soccer in them.” How many times does he need to repeat that?

“But I think Coach Endou can help us play real soccer! Everyone came to the riverbank yesterday!” 

He knows. He was there, too. He saw it as clear as day.

“It only confirms my point that I don’t have to be captain. It makes no difference who does it.” He throws the ball at Matsukaze. “And one day he’s going to learn to obey the Fifth Sector, too.” Or he’ll get fired. Like Coach Kudou. All because Takuto has made that one goal.

Suddenly, breathing feels like such a chore.

“Leave.”

“...Alright, I will. I’m sorry for speaking out of line.” And then he doesn’t leave. “But I have one last request!”

Seriously, what’s wrong with this guy?

“Please, show me Fortissimo! I know, how about I call Shinsuke and the three of us play soccer together? He saw the video, too, and he was really excited about it!”

For the love of-

“I just told you to leave!” And get that grin off your face!

“I won’t!”

It’s literally my home, Takuto doesn’t say, and he genuinely has no idea why.

“Are you trying to pressure me?”

“Huh?” Doesn’t he understand? Really?

(“Don’t forget that feeling.”)

“When you passed that ball to me in the Eito match…” Why does he bother with any of that, really. “It felt like it was telling me to face soccer straight-on.”

(He wouldn’t be able to, even if he wanted to.)

“I didn’t mean…”

“I won’t take on your passes anymore.” He can’t risk it again.

(...he doesn’t want to forget it?)

“But I want to play with you, Captain!”

You want this, you want that-

“Lay off!”

“It has to be you, Captain! I want to play with you! Please!” This time around, Matsukaze bows, and doesn’t straighten up.

God, if that’s all needed for it to be finally over.

(It’s been so long…)

“Fine. Just one time.”

“Thank you! I can invite Shinsuke to join, right?”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

(Really, how could he want to forget it?)

Matsukaze’s trembling like he might burst from all that excitement, his eyes shining, perfectly accompanying that huge grin on his face.

All of that just because Takuto agreed to play with him once. 

“You really do love soccer, don’t you?”

“Yes!”

What a simple guy.

------

These two really are bad at it, aren’t they?

“Watch the ball closely!” Takuto instructs, stealing the ball easily thanks to that lousy pass. “Liking soccer and being good at it are two different things!”

It takes him no time to reach the goal, resistance from the two basically nonexistent. Blue stave surrounds the ball on his command.

“Fortissimo!”

It passes Matsukaze, straight to the unprotected goal.

“Are you satisfied now?” He waits for no answer. His job here is done.

“Thank you!” The first-years yell after him.

“I’ll do my best!” Matsukaze promises.

“Me too!” joins Nishizono.

“If we get to play real soccer someday… will you come back?”

God, that guy…!

“You don’t get it! Real soccer is dead!”

The ball’s once more with him before anybody realizes it, and he runs blind,  the first-years trailing behind. He pays them little mind, as he turns around and kicks with all he can muster.

Only for the ball to hit the frame, and Nishizono to catch it and pass to Tenma.

“Real soccer isn’t dead! I bet even soccer is waiting for us to play real soccer!”

Oh, really!

“If you really feel that way, try and get past me!”

He actually does, but.

“Not good enough,” he says, but, honestly? Considering everything he lacks, Matsukaze’s dribbling skills are somewhat impressive.

Takuto lets him make some distance between the two of them.

“I’ll become real soccer!” Is that so? “That’s how much resolve I’ll have to do it!”

(If only it came to Takuto as easy…)

Matsukaze finally starts running, and Takuto sees the sign for seconds before it actually manifests.

“Soyokaze Step!”

Takuto, quite literally, gets blown away.

A hissatsu technique, even though he lacks some of the most fundamental skills…

Nishizono runs up to Matsukaze, and the two start talking, but Takuto doesn’t really listen to that.

Soyokaze Step… it’s a good offensive technique. Not only does it allow the user to keep the ball, it blows away the opponent, and even if they needed only seconds to raise up, these still are seconds that could be used during-

Stop. 

There’s no using anything. He quit, and even if he didn’t, the actual chance to perform the move during a match might never appear. Most likely wouldn’t, considering their recent actions.

“Captain! I’m going to use this to fight this year’s Holy Road! I’ll charge right through the other team with this dribble!” 

And then what. You can’t shoot yet, and no one will receive your pass.

“Things are burning up!” Nishizono adds.

These two, really.

“Now we have to get you a hissatsu technique, Shinsuke!” 

“Yeah! I’ll do my best!”

(He misses being this happy about his own techniques. When the line he tried to paint in the air turned golden under his fingers for the first time. When the ball responded to him, and made the most beautiful of sounds under his foot.

He misses trying to create new ones.)

His eyes sting.

“Compared to your hard work, I…” am running away. Doing nothing. Waiting for some miracle to happen, or for the day all my love for soccer truly burns out. “I’m not qualified to be captain after all.”

“You are!” a new voice joins, and it stops all of Takuto’s thoughts in their tracks.

“Coach Enodu?” 

Before he can understand what’s happening, the man stands before him, smiling with pride of all things. Pride and understanding.

“These tears make you qualified to be captain,” he says, and then raises Takuto’s own resignation letter, and tears it up right in front of him. “Your feelings of loving soccer so, so much are reflected through those tears.”

Reflected?

“You truly are Kami no Takuto.” Endou puts a hand on his arm. “Like a top-class conductor drawing out a performer’s potential, you made Tenma’s abilities show results.”

It was thanks to his own hard work, not Takuto’s actions. But contributing even a little…

…he misses that feeling, too.

(“You’ll never grow out of that soccer of yours, will you, son? Well, as long as it makes you happy.”)

He wants soccer to make him happy again!

“Coach, I… The truth is, I want to win, too!” he says, and it feels like all the heaviness that seemed to never leave him alone began to disappear. “I don’t want to play this appalling facade of soccer anymore!”

He’s been running away from soccer for far too long.

“I’ve been waiting to hear these words from you, Captain.” Endou grins.

Takuto can’t help smiling, too. His coach’s cheerfulness, and the joy of the first year duo next to him.

It’s going to be hell, but they’ll manage, he’s sure of that.

------

Nearing the club building, he finds Tsurugi hidden behind one of the trees. His usual stoic expression intact.

(Not a hint of whatever on earth Takuto saw the other day.)

“You’re going to fight after all?” the SEED asks. 

(There’s no mockery in his voice. If Takuto hadn’t known any better, he would’ve thought he could hear a smile instead.)

As tempted as he is, he doesn’t bother dignifying it with an answer.

He has no idea what Tsurugi tries to play in, but he’s not going to give him the satisfaction of joining.

He needs to figure out this guy.

------

They win. Even though there’s a SEED in Tengawara, they win.

Sangoku keeps their goal safe.

Sousha Maestro responds to his call.

They win.

But somehow, most of that happiness disappears the moment he looks at the bench, because he’s quite certain he’d seen Tsurugi smile.

[ -------5------- ]

[ need for a break between the chapters, cuz pacing here sucks balls, ugh. also, rewatching ep 9, and Shindou has another talk with Endou, prolly needed. but also I kinda skipped half of the team interactions, one could use a change in that department, huh ]

[ -------6------- ]

There’s only so long a person can keep running away, and for Kyousuke time has finally ran out. He’s been postponing it, and trying not to think too hard about it, but alas, there’s no use anymore.

It’s time he visited his brother.

To be fair, it’s not that he didn’t want to do this earlier. Quite the opposite, really. He’s missed him dearly, even though they talk on phone on a daily basis. But they’d seen each other the day before his first day at school, and it’s been a month since that happened. It’s uncharacteristic of Kyousuke.

And Yuuichi knows.

The truth is, he’s not sure how he’s going to react when he sees his brother on a wheelchair again. In the future they both could finally put all of that behind, and play just like they used to, whenever they felt like it. As of right now… he just doesn’t know.

(He knows that in the end Yuuichi will get the operation he needs. He really does. But still.)

And it’s not like Yuuichi won’t notice that something’s off with him. He can read him better than anyone else, and while he usually doesn’t call out on Kyousuke’s excuses, he knows they’re excuses, and it’s only a matter of time before they’ll have to confront them.

Kyousuke doesn’t want to give him a bunch of excuses, either. But what could he say? ‘Nii-san, I somehow time traveled into my past self, and I’ve done some horrible things before that, and even after that because it was necessary, but don’t worry, I’ve got it all under control!’

It sounds ridiculous, no matter how he puts that.

He crosses the street right in front of the hospital, trying not to think too hard about being watched. 

It’s just Kuroki, which is nothing unusual, and, all things considered, wholly expected.

(He could’ve sworn something was off, though.)

------

“Kyousuke!” Yuuichi smiles, like he always does whenever his brother visits him.

(As if he was really happy to see him, as if any of this wasn’t happening because Kyousuke was too stupid to listen to him-)

His legs are hidden by the covers, and Kyousuke can’t tell if he’s grateful or not. They’re still there, still nonresponding.

It’s not like he can just forget about that.

“I’m sorry I didn’t visit sooner.” And he really is.

“No, that’s good.” Yuuichi laughs. “I’m glad you’re finally having some life outside of visiting me.”

He pouts, which only makes Yuuichi laugh even harder, before he stops, and smiles gently at something behind Kyousuke.

“Ah, can I help you somehow?”

It takes an enormous amount of effort not to turn around too fast, too suspicious to everyone around, and almost just as much effort not to sigh in relief.

It’s just Shindou.

…

Wait, why is Shindou here?

“Ah, I apologize.” The boy says, bowing. “I’m Shindou Takuto, captain of the Raimon Eleven.”

“Oh, I know you!” Yuuichi says excitedly, and Kyousuke sends Shindou his worst ‘for the love of god, don’t say a word’ glare. “I watched last year’s Holy Road. You were truly amazing in the finals!”

Kyousuke can see the gears turning in Shindou’s head, and no, no thank you, we’re not doing this today.

“Nii-san, if you could excuse us…” 

Screw being disrespectful, he all but drags Shindou out of the room to the nearby terrace, then closes the doors behind them.

It’s only then that he realizes his mistake.

“What are you-” Shindou doesn’t get to finish.

“Why, he’s trying to earn the money for his brother’s operation, can’t you see?” God, he fucking hates Kuroki.

Shidnou visibly flinches, Kyousuke tries not to.

“After all, it’s his own fault his brother can’t play anymore,” he adds. “You see, when they were seven and twelve respectively…” 

---o---

There are some things that you find out only to wish you haven’t. But it’s too late, and now you have to live with the unwanted knowledge, paying for your own foolish curiosity.

Takuto really should have just gone home. And, to be fair, he almost did. But seeing Tsurugi turn towards the hospital…

God, he shouldn’t have gone after him. 

He didn’t need to know any of this. What was even the point of telling him that? What did Kuroki intend to achieve?

He can’t help but stare blankly at the man’s silhouette disappearing through the doors. It’s better than looking at Tsurugi’s face, somehow even paler than usual.

Honestly, everything is better than looking at Tsurugi, who’s still standing there in silence, just like he was doing when Kuroki laid all of his hurts wide open, as if he wasn’t standing right there.

He always knew the Fifth Sector was screwed up, but that was a low blow.

(“Not yet.” Tsurugi said. 

It makes so much sense now.)

“I…” am sorry? What do you even say in that situation?

“Save it.” Tsurugi stares at him for a moment longer, then. “Do you still intend to fight Fifth Sector, knowing that?”

Does he…?

…

The answer is obvious, really.

“Yes.” If anything. he was just given all the more reasons to destroy Fifth Sector.

(An organization that uses people like that…)

“Good.” Takuto looks up at him in surprise, and.

Oh.

He’s smiling.

It’s a small smile, but no less determined. A little bit like when…

…Raimon won against Tengawara.

…

He thinks he’s starting to understand it. At least a little.

---o---

First of all, fuck Kuroki.

Seriously, fuck that guy. That was a low blow.

(But really, what about the Fifth Sector’s existence isn’t a low blow.)

He lives through the meeting with the Holy Emperor, and goes home, completely spent.

(He really thought it would be easier, knowing what he does, but it’s not. Not in the slightest. The man’s eyes pierce through his very soul, nothing betraying the true purpose of the actions he takes.

No wonder people took so long to realize what Gouenji truly meant to accomplish. Kyousuke knows it all for a fact, and yet he still can’t find a hint of that in the man.)

The match against Mannouzaka will happen in a few days. 

Just a few more days.

He sits down by his desk, and searches for the notebook he wrote the plans for the match in.

It’s not here.

Kagepro AU for Project Sekai

Yes I hope there is a crossover with these two one day, but alas, that is besides the point.

I'm gonna assume you know enough about the Kagerou Project with this, I'm just gonna explain any changes I make.

The Main Characters:

Mizuki Akiyama | Snake of Deceiving Eyes

Toya Aoyagi | Snake of Stealing Eyes

Mafuyu Asahina | Snake of Focusing Eyes

Minori Hanasato | Snake of Favoring Eyes

Rui Kamishiro | Snake of Concealing Eyes

Saki Tenma | Snake of Awakening Eyes

Tsukasa Tenma | Snake of Drawing Eyes

Kanade Yoisaki | Snake of Combining Eyes

[name redacted] | Snake of Opening Eyes

Currently Undecided | Snake of Clearing Eyes, Snake of Retaining Eyes

Of course, being a Kagerou Project AU, bad things happen and a lot of characters die. Here's the run down of each character receiving their snake (for the most part. ...I'm not messing with alternate timelines yet.)

Mizuki & Yuuki Akiyama

Basic idea is they get trapped in a burning building and die together. They enter the Daze, and only Mizuki returns.

Luckily, Mizuki would still be able to go home to their parents, though their sister is gone. They would be distraught, but no one else realizes there was more than just a fire. Yuuki is declared missing, and Mizuki isn't sure whether what happened in the Daze was real or not.

Mizuki would young, but not younger than pre-teens. I'm currently working with the age range of 12-14.

Toya Aoyagi & His Father

They were in an older building for one of Toya's recitals when it collapsed. The two were crushed, barely having time to process what happened before being taken into the Daze.

As with Mizuki, Toya still has family left to live with, though he never seems to recover from that day. His father was presumed dead, though they never found a body in the rubble.

Toya, overwhelmed by both the trauma of the accident and the ability given by his snake, withdraws from most people. However, this is the same timeframe that Tsukasa too has gone through the Daze, and the two grow closer from the experience.

Toya is probably 7 or 8 at the time.

Mafuyu Asahina & ?

Honestly, I don't have this figured out yet. I don't want it to be too similar to the others, so I'm taking my time to come up with something unique.

As much as I want to chuck her mother off a bridge...... thematically, I think it's better if Mafuyu goes to the Daze with someone else. Maybe her father, but I'm still undecided.

Minori Hanasato & Her Classmate

On a school trip to a nature reserve, Minori and one of her classmates get separated from the rest of the class, ending up lost in the woods. Its getting close to the time they're supposed to leave, and they're scared, so the two sprint through the woods to find help. However... they didn't see the rocky cliff they were running towards until it was too late. After a painful fall, the two enter the Daze.

Poor Minori gets the Snake of Favoring Eyes, which doesn't lead her to the same mindset as Ayano, but it still irrevocably changes her. Suddenly she's received thousands of memories beyond what her lifetime can hold, and she's like 12 at most during this. She's certainly going through it.

Minori wakes up at the bottom of the cliff as Park Rangers are calling for help, and anyone who knew her could immediately see the change in demeanor. Instead of the girl so keen on spreading cheer and hope, she's withdrawn and quiet, knowing far more than any child should.

Rui Kamishiro & His Mother

Rui and his mother end up killed in a car accident, entering the Daze as everyone else.

Rui's mother would also be compatible with some snakes. However, she would be careful and make sure Rui is the one who escapes. He's worried, he doesn't want to leave his mother behind, but she assures him that she'll be right behind him......

And Rui wakes up in the wreckage of the car... alone. The authorities on the scene would believe that his mother was with him in the car, though they tell him whatever else he witnessed was just a nightmare and that they'd search for his mother. They don't have much hope that she's alive, even without understanding the true situation.

My general headcanon is that Rui's parents don't live together, so in this situation, he would be sent to live with his father. He feels lost and isolated, questioning what really happened.

I'd put Rui in the 8-10 age range, though I might change that a little bit.

Saki Tenma & Another Hospital Patient

Judging solely off that title, I'm sure you can guess where this is going. But yeah, Saki and another patient pass away on August 15th within the hospital. They are pulled into the daze.

Saki does end up in a similar position to Konoha, though it's still going to be Saki, not the snake itself. Her body is stronger, her illness is healed, but her mind has lost much of who she was.

Saki escapes the Daze, scared and confused. She leaves the hospital, trying to figure out where she's supposed to be. Meanwhile, the hospital is in panic, wondering how two patients could just disappear without anyone noticing.

She'd be one of the oldest when she receives her snake, about 15. This is after Tsukasa gets his snake, so when Saki disappears on August 15th, he just hopes she's still out there.

Tsukasa Tenma & His Neighbor

When Tsukasa was home alone, his house was targeted for a burglary. One of his neighbors heard the break in and went in to help Tsukasa. However, the burglar killed them both in a panic, and the Daze accepted the two.

Tsukasa gets to leave with a snake, and he didn't realize his neighbor couldn't return too. He wakes up after the burglar left, alone in the damaged house. He wanders around, dazed, until he realizes that he returned alone. Coming back to his senses, Tsukasa rushes to a phone to call for help.

As mentioned earlier, Tsukasa and Toya both went through this around the same time, and figured things out together. And when Saki disappeared, Toya didn't think twice about helping Tsukasa search for her.

Kanade Yoisaki & Her Mother

Kanade's scenario is essentially just Marry's, and Azami would still be her grandmother. I don't think we have a name for Kanade's mother yet, and we know nothing about Shion's husband, so I think it works out well enough.

So Kanade was the first to receive a snake from the Daze, and she remained hidden away from the world for a while.

I believe Minori would be the one to find Kanade in this. Minori would know Kanade is important, though she wouldn't be sure of what to do after finding her.

That's where I'll stop now. I've got a lot to work out about this AU, but I still think it's a fun concept to play around with. Thanks for reading through this!

About my last post my HCs about Tenma and Grimmer’s jealousy levels

I feel like when they’re together, Grimmer is most of the time, oblivious if someone is flirting with Tenma but once he notices, he tends to say nothing and chooses to remain next to him the whole time. He’s definitely not the type of man to make an scene, if he feels jealous he stays kind, polite and smiling as if nothing happened, but he’d turn closer to Tenma (he’d take his hand, pull him closer etc), he would ask him things like “who’s her/him?” Or he would tease & mock Tenma with things like “I fear he/she likes you very much, you’re such a charmer aren’t you, Doctor?” And he would chuckle but obviously he doesn’t like that person to be too close to Tenma.

For Tenma is a little bit the same, but in my head, Tenma didn’t truly met jealousy till he started his relationship with Grimmer. Because when he was with Eva he never felt jealous when other men flirted with her. But he has slight increased jealousy levels when it comes to Grimmer. He’s also not the type of man to make an scene but if he’s jealous, he’s VERY obvious. You could tell his smiles are fake, that his manners have undertones of sarcasm and annoyance, and since he has very poor anger regulation, he definitely would talk harshly towards the woman or man that’s flirting with his man.

And at the end of the day he would be COMPLETELY embarrassed and if he has the chance he would excuse himself.

[deathdestructiondoom]

Oh what's this? I ACTUALLY POSTED ON MY G/T BLOG HOLY SHI-

Anyways guess whaaat, i have a new au.

CATCH THE TIME AU

An Isekai AU where Akito, Saki, Shizuku, Nene and Mizuki were sent to save the Creatio World from being stuck in it's years long Time Loop, however only Akito seemed to remember each Loop and something weird is happening to him. What shall happen to our favorites lesbians and pathetic bisexual ginger? Let's find out.

This is where I'm gonna go unprofessional (I lied) (Ft Pokemon references)

Also yes there are doodles.

Akito : Poor guy is not having a good time. Hes going insane, not mentally okay. His friends keep dying in each loops and he has barely anyone to talk with. And he has the burden of the world's fate on him as the Timecatcher, the only one in this world who can beat the Time God's stinky narcissistic ass. Oh and something went wrong and now after each loops he keeps growing and he gotta do this quick until his height become a major inconvenience. But that doesn't mean he's doing this alone, he got teammates, most he's barely familiar with but teammates nonetheless. They helped him through his lowest, he helped them at their lowest and they helped remind him that it’s okay to ask for help, something he forgot during the midst of each time loops. The constant loops may have changed him, for better or worse, mentally and even physically but what not has changed is his love for his teammates and how he would do anything to not let them die. Oh and he has a cool sword. He also pukes sand. He also may or may not become a demigod.

Saki : Barbaracore Pookie bear. Shes the team's healer and keeps them alive with her magic healing book. If girlypop wanted to, she can become a full Physical Catalyst user by wacking the book to enemies. Either way she's a silly patootie in a silly magical world, she knows abt the loop but still gets her memory erased, yet will that stop her from smiling? No! She's still the bright and cheerful Saki Tenma and even through the worst times, she won't falter her smile. Also she still gets tired easily due to her health but she got some strong teammates who are willing to support her. She truly loves her new friends and teammates, and wants to support them fully!

Shizuku : The Mom Friend™. Her Leoncore sense of direction is still here and everyone has to keep her on a leash to prevent her from being lost and die. Yes she's a powerful witch but still needs supervision. She's also motherhenning the shit out of the younger ones, if she says you sleep then you fucking sleep, Akito i don't give a shit that you're supposed to save the world, if you don't get atleast eight hours of sleep i will kill you. She too is aware of the loop, memories still erased but is always taking care of her teammates, being the oldest in the group makes her feel responsible to care for the younger ones wellbeing, feeling closer to them, like how she feels with Shiho.

Nene : Siren aaah powers. She got the FANGIES AND THE SHORT HAIR. She has the ability to tell people to shut the fuck up with just her voice but shes too nervous for her liking to actually do it. She's also a Disney Princess, animals love her. In case she isn't using her siren inspired powers, she has a poison-infused dagger ready at hand. She also learns how to trust her teammates even if she's unfamiliar with most of them, and they helped her gain some confidence and she slowly gets more comfortable around them. Shes still mostly shy, being in a new world, but still determined to not let the time loops, that wiped her memories, stop her from supporting her teammates to save the world and cut the time loop. She is Zubat but human.

(Ignore the other lil guy ill talk abt em in another post)

Mizuki : Take Kirby, Tinkaton and Amy Rose and mash em into Mizuki and boom you got a pretty pink lil pookie with a big ass hammer ready to whack some monsters. They got LIPSTIIIIICK. Mizuki is still their teasing self in here and yes they do gush over the cute things in the Creatio World and yes they really love their outfit and hammer like FUCK YEAH THIS IS WHAT I WANNA LOOK LIKE IN A FANTASY SETTING, they are truly in love of how feminine they look (Demigirl Mizuki is canon, if you are transphobic or think they're still a guy pls kindly get off my blog and never touch it again). Mizuki is still observant on the mood of the gang and still helps their teammates, gaining eachothers trusts and starts to express themselves more freely. They are too aware of the loop despite not keeping their memories but will that stop them from supporting their teammates, friends to save the world? No! also they pull ligma and candace jokes on the creatio world's people.

(Side note : i love their lipstick)

I don't ship these 5 romantically (lied bc i was heavily considering a rlly close SakiNene qpr) but they are still family and love and care for eachother.

Pookiebears <333

Oh and did i mention their Creatio World selves are just their consciousness transferred into their current bodies and their actual bodies are in a coma.

PLEASE SEND ME ASKS ABT THIS AU MY INBOXES ARE VERY EMPTY AND I WANNA ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.

[kerizaret]

Ok so it's An centric because of course it is. It's mine. It's also an au of an au so a lot of pairings likely won't make sense lol beware of that

I don't remember too much about the settings just that the Tenmas are the royals as is thr usual, also there is magic but it doesn't play that much of a role. I'll work on digging that up later...

The basic concept is that the cast lives in this high-ish fantasy world with a less than good kingdom, and Radder were once upon a time a group of knights, but Nagi happened and after that Taiga stayed loyal to the knights order and Ken... Didn't. And since the army or the knight order are like Basically the only well-paid jobs, they're not well off. Managing, but not well off.

Fast forward to the present day An is a bit of a brat who likes to do minor crime and steal stuff, not out of malice but more of a "stick it" attitude to the rulers (she knows Ken dislikes the knights, but not why), except one day she decides to steal something too fancy from the rich bakery and gets caugh red-handed by the hood of her shirt (literally). And basically you know that thing where a wise mentor catches a thief and makes them join forces of good saying "you'd be better off using those skills for goos"? Well, basically that, but An and (disguised) Taiga.

Since the justice system in the kingdom is... Not good, An is dragged to the castle and sat in front of a choice of a) either her father pays a fine for stealing (like x100 the times what the stolen thing actually worth "to discourage crime") b) she joins the knights to train and eventually pay it off herself, because she has a lot of potential and Taiga knows it. And An, being who she is, would rather walk off a cliff than do that to her dad.

That's how she ends up living in a royal castle as a trainee with an Attitude and meets (not necessarily in the castle, but just by Being Around these people)

1) Nene, a senior in experience but not in age knight, who is horrible with making friends & overall much more jaded than An is, but An is literally dead set on making friends with her

2) Touya, a son of a renowned court magician currently on house house arrest for almost taking off into the wilderness with a rogue

3) Akito, the aforementioned rogue/exiled knight, who literally cannot stay away from the castle for some reason??

4) Shiho, his partner in crime with much more brain power than he has

5) Kanade, a white mage/priestess/healer with a bad reputation for not using her magic unless she absolutely has to a d wasting her talent

6) Mafuyu, an apprentice white mage from a known family and very confusing, definitely out of the ordinary powers

7) Rui, a dark magician and alchemist with ties to both the royals and Nene that An literally cannot wrap her head around

8) His Highness Tsukasa being his best self (obnoxious & out of touch. He'll grow dw)

9) Saki, the princess & like the only person An considers to be fun to hang out in this Wretched Place

and the rest of them.

It's more of a collection of random scenes & scenarios & ideas than a full blown au if I'm honest; Annene is the central piece of it. I don't know if it's worth anything, I just think An is funny. She really struggles to take things seriously & copes with humour until it hits her that Oh fuck, she's actually stuck there forever and will just have to do whatever the royals tell her to. Even if her morals go against it. And she might die. Welp. Because she's my stress ball and putting her into moral dilemmas is my favourite hobby

Tl;dr:

THATS SO COOL ANS AMAZING I LOVE IT an you poor girl lmaooo.... ohfhh I do wonder how she finds out the truth n all.... ALSO POOR KEN THEY JUST KIDNAPPED HIS DSUGHER HES PROBABLY WORRIED SICK 😭

The side characters are so interesting... kanamafu especially 👀

Man Jay your aus never disappoint I could read them forever

[yarameijer]

HI

I hope your doing well

So yeah!! My question is

Does Tenma's parents know about all 5 sector, travel to past, aliens and in space

If yes. How did they came to know

What were their reactions

Also any conversation between Teams coach or any other member with them

Heyhey! Yes, I’m doing well!

It actually differs for each of my stories whether Tenma's parents know about his adventures or not, but specifically in AR, the answer would be ‘’sort of’’. Tenma has quite regular contact with them through phone calls and does tell them a bit about his adventures, but not everything.

For example, in the first season they know Fifth Sector exists and that the Holy Road is a competition to decide its next leader. They know Tenma isn't a fan of the current leader, but they don't know any of the details - they're assuming that the current Holy Emperor is making too strict rules, or not really putting the money where it should go (the soccer clubs), also because Tenma mentioned the Raimon team was in poor state when he first joined. So yes, they know there are issues because Tenma told them, but he also kept out a lot of the details because he wasn't sure they'd take him seriously. 

On the other hand, they know nothing about the time traveling, simply because Tenma doesn't think they'll believe him. Tenma may have told them a few stories, but edited out the “oh yeah this happened 500 years in the past” part. Rather, he's told them he made a new friend (Fei) and that there was a problematic soccer team they dealt with, plus some details about specific things that happened during their travels. While, of course, leaving out the time relevant details.

They do know about the Grand Celesta Galaxy, for a very simple reason: the Earth Eleven players were minors, and parental permission was needed for them to be allowed to be part of the team and travel to space. This was handled by the Japanese Youth Soccer Association, most likely Gouenji himself, in hopes of convincing all the parents. That took quite some effort, not just with Tenma's parents but also those of the other members, but eventually they succeeded.

That being said, Tenma has told his parents quite a lot about his time in space and this time didn't leave out the details, also because they were very interested in what space was like. Since they already know the truth, Tenma isn't worried about them not believing him, so he's quite open about it.

As for their reactions, as mentioned before they don't know the full truth about Fifth Sector, so they were mostly just disappointed for Tenma when he told them Raimon (initially) wasn't what he expected, and supportive towards him during the Holy Road. And, of course, happy and proud when Raimon won and Tenma seemed to have found his place in the team.

Their reaction to the Grand Celesta Galaxy was a lot more dramatic. When Tenma joined Inazuma Japan they were proud, but when they found out about the alien part they were against him going, and very worried even after they did eventually give their consent. They worried the whole time he was away, but once he returned to Earth and told them about space, they were very proud of him. But also sort of unwilling to let him do dangerous stuff like this again (not that that's stopping him, he just doesn't tell them).

As for contact with Tenma's team… no, not really. They trust Aki to be his acting guardian while they're not present, so school issues mostly go through her unless it's very dramatic, and so far nothing has happened that classifies as “very dramatic”; Tenma's grades are okay, he's not a troublemaker in class, there's nothing that really needs their interference. They did meet Gouenji and Kidou when they were told about the Grand Celesta Galaxy, and are aware that Kidou was Tenma's coach at one point, but those conversations were really focused on the whole “aliens are real and we need your son to fight them” thing.

They do eventually meet some of Raimon's members, but I'm planning to write one-shots about that for the AR one-shot collection, so I won't say anything more than that!

[lilis-doodle-dome]

I have so many questions about every dynamic you can think of for this au im so interested in hearing more about the tenma siblings (toya included) and nene + emu's relationship with tsukasa

im also interested to hear how the dynamic between ena and mafuyu, emu and mafuyu, + rui and mizuki changes.

There is not enough space in these charts for any real information aughh, sorry for the weird text sizing. Also I didn’t put that much effort into editing Kasa/Mafu in these images haha

But relationship charts between the group! Sorry it doesn’t answer every question, but hopefully it’s enough? Feel free to ask more if anything needs clarification!

Here’s a transcript:

Tsukasa- Emu: Always tries to make me smile, but should she really waste her energy on me?…Sometimes she reminds me of Saki when she was younger

Tsukasa-Nene: Stronger than she seems. The least chaotic of the others, when we’re together she doesn’t expect anything. It’s…nice, although it might not be good.

Tsukasa-Rui: Always has something new to try, but I think it’s more for his own curiosity than for my self discovery. He knows a lot, could be more helpful if he ever shared it.

Emu-Tsukasa: Someone important to me that I’ll help find the smile of, no matter what! You’re no oohm doom villain Tsukasa-kun!

Emu-Nene: The most wonderhoy singer! Thank you for helping me see what it means to be a leader, I promise to never lose sight of my troupe again.

Emu-Rui: He always has the best, most fun ideas! I really appreciate his support, we always do best with his directing!

Nene-Tsukasa: He can seem pretty intimidating, but he’s actually rather clueless. I hope he can figure himself out, just not at the expense of others.

Nene-Emu: You’ve grown into a person deserving of the title of leader and I’m grateful you brought us together. I know you’re determined about your goal, but don’t forget we’re here too.

Nene-Rui: I’ll get stronger, I won’t turn a blind eye to you ever again.

Rui-Tsukasa: He tests anything I ask of him without complaint, I wish I could say that was a good thing. Let’s keep using each other until we’ve found what we’re really looking for, okay?

Rui-Nene: I’m glad she’s standing up for herself more, but I hope she knows there’s nothing she needs to make up for. It’s just nice to perform with her again.

Rui-Emu: A truly admirable person, she’s dedicated herself wholeheartedly to other’s smiles. Your smile is something precious as well though, don’t forget that.

—

Mafuyu-Kanade: A musical genius to match my lyrical! Her soft mannerisms belie her unmatched stubbornness, she’ll ever so gently, tell me I’m doing too much, all while she neglects herself! How confounding!

Mafuyu-Ena: She reminds me of those small dogs that get a poor reputation for being aggressive, despite it being people ignoring their fear signals that cause those reactions. That being said, it’s rather entertaining how differently she responds to Kanade versus Mizuki.

Mafuyu-Mizuki: They’ve introduced me to many new styles I’ve never experienced before. It’s amazing how they can make the most intimidating outings seem approachable. I enjoy any and all time spent with them!

Kanade-Mafuyu: She can’t see how she’s hurting herself for the sake of others. I need to help her, someone who can actually save others- shouldn’t have to suffer for it.

Kanade-Ena: Her art is still filled with hurt, but I’m glad she’s found some peace in our group. If only I could do more for her…

Kanade-Mizuki: They always have the frankest opinions of everyone else and seem to speak their mind freely, yet rarely say anything about themself. Their perspective is always appreciated though.

Ena-Mafuyu: Aren’t the big headed types supposed to not actually be good at everything? How is that fair at all, and she’s even got the nerve to be a nice person! I’ll show her-

Ena-Kanade: She’s wonderful. The soft, patient voice-of-reason needed to reign in the group, listening to her music is like a miracle cure for bad days.

Ena-Mizuki: They’re an insistent pest, that won’t leave me in peace. I guess I don’t hate the company though and they are good at putting together outfits for photos.

Mizuki-Mafuyu: A willing dress-up doll, she’s pretty enough to be one too! Kinda reminds me of an old friend with how many questions she asks about everything, guess geniuses have that in common.

Mizuki-Kanade: Always makes sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. It’s really nice to have a space I won’t be judged…

Mizuki-Ena: She’s way too funny not to tease, but she’s just as capable as the rest of the group. It’s kinda scary how easy she is to talk to, wouldn’t want to say anything I regret.

(i know you're on break rn so don't feel pressured to reply ) but the video essay is officially on youtube worldwide!! I had to fight with copyright for a week to get it up lol, but its here! 90 minutes of unhinged rambling about this movie. (GhostyQuartz on youtube, I don't think your asks allow links lol)

it's great to hear from you again! and if it helps you feel any better about messaging me while i'm on hiatus, i pretty much never log onto social media when i'm on a break, so i didn't even see this message until a couple days ago when i had some downtime. but i immediately went and watched your video essay right away as soon as i had the chance! i'm going to drop a comment on the video itself at some point, but i also don't want to clutter up your comment section too much, so i'm going to post the majority of my thoughts here instead.

for interested followers, here's the video in question.

"make america metro city great again" is living in my head rent-free from now on. it'll be here for exactly forever.

"you won't grow??? get sold to the circus, idiot" 😭😭😭

referring to elefun as tenma's "definitely not gay lover" ITS TRUE BUT YOU SHOULDNT SAY IT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTING THEM LIKE THIS. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR PRIVACY. WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM.

i literally never noticed nor considered the symbolism of astro being suspended by wires, breaking free of those wires in the first moments of existence, and becoming so much more than the puppet tenma wants him to be. that literally got me right in the chest. i never thought about that before. thank you. i will be thinking about it for exactly forever now.

your notes about tenma's relationship with both his sons being largely transactional in their own ways (tobio gets good grades, tenma "rewards" him with love & affection / astro behaves like tobio, tenma "rewards" him with love & affection / astro fails to behave like tobio, tenma shuns him, withdraws from him, and rejects him) and how that bleeds over into astro's dynamic with everyone else in the movie, particularly hamegg, and colors his actions during his stay in the orphanage, is actually something i've thought about a lot. so it was really cool to hear somebody else drew the exact same conclusion. still got me right in the chest though.

re: why do robots have their own language, separate from the humans, in the 2009 universe?? i'm actually writing a fic about that!! i originally intended for it to fill one of the astro boy 2024 fanweek prompts, but then i got a better idea and this one went on the back burner. but it'll definitely get written & posted someday!

your analysis of the tension in astro's posture whenever tenma is in the room made me so sad for real. the fact that astro is so visibly uncomfortable and nervous around his own father will never not break my heart. poor kid deserves so much better.

ZANE IS BESTIE GOALS!!!!! this is real!!! this is true!!! this is canon!!! sometimes i feel like i'm the only true zane stan in the fandom, so it's always so great to encounter other people who also notice what a good friend he is to astro. their dynamic is usually ignored or overlooked in favor of astro & cora (which is understandable, considering their parallel backstories) but i really love them. zane is so ride-or-die for astro it's UNREAL. i've played around with the concept of zane faking his illiteracy so astro can reveal his secret on his own terms, too, and that was actually my automatic assumption when i watched the movie for the first time -- zane was just pretending for astro's sake -- but then the joke came back a couple times later on, and i don't know if zane has the patience and dedication to commit to the bit for that long, lmao. nonetheless, i've been considering a post-canon fic where zane accidentally reveals he does know how to read, and astro is so genuinely stunned lol

the surface was SO criminally underutilized. thank you for noticing. kissing you on the mouth. in my opinion, it was a far more interesting location than metro city, and i would've loved a more thorough exploration of it before he goes back home. i'd love the opportunity to write a post-canon fic one day where astro stays on the surface for several years at a time, slowly helping the surface-dwellers bring the earth back to life. elefun did say the blue core had the power to do that, and i just think it'd be really cool if his prediction came true not because of the energy within the core being "properly harnessed", as he says, but because the robot who's powered by it cares enough about humanity to devote himself to planetary restoration efforts all across the globe.

did not realize cora was canonically seventeen. i dont like that. i dont like that at all. i'm rejecting that full stop. she's like twelve or thirteen now because i said so. (i know she's pretty tall in comparison to the boys, which would suggest she's older, but i always assumed that was because girls tend to hit puberty first and reach their adult height by fourteen or fifteen, with maybe another inch or two before they hit adulthood. so i figured that was what happened with her. plus, astro & zane aren't really that tall. astro is canonically under five feet, and zane is only about four inches taller than him, give or take a bit. even if we assume astro is 4'11 (he's not lmao he's closer to 4'5 or 4'6 i think) that would only put zane at about 5'4.) and now you've got me wondering whether astro is canonically thirteen or not, because i always assumed he was younger, too, and everyone just jumped on what that security guard in the ministry says to tobio ("you're what, thirteen?") as a canon confirmation of his age. but you know what, it doesn't matter what his canon age is, because i won't accept it, anyway. he's ten or eleven to me. no way he's any older than that. he's too baby-coded <3

you want a copy of the 2009 novelization?? i gotchu. give me a little while to get it together and find a site to put it on (i know internet archive hosts rare books, but i dont know shit about it beyond that i just use it to read out-of-print stuff from decades past lmao so there WILL be a learning curve). i also have the 2009 graphic novel AND the Underground comic series. hmu if you want any of that too

"hamegg should have found out astro was tenma's son and hurt him as a way to get back at tenma" NO NO BUT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WRITING A FIC ABOUT THIS?????? I'VE BEEN WRITING A FIC ABOUT THIS FOR REAL???? I'VE HAD THIS EXACT IDEA IN MY HEAD SINCE 2021???? WHAT THE HELL AND FUCK!!!!!!!

that moment where you stopped to count up all the times astro died in the movie literally sent me into fucking orbit for real. i saved the picture to my computer because i want to be able to look at "death #3 (kind of)" whenever i want

speaking of memes i'm honored my "do it for him" one got featured in your video 😭😭😭

THE EYE CONTACT DURING THE SCENE WHERE TENMA DEACTIVATES ASTRO. YOU GET IT. YOU ABSOLUTELY GET IT. YOU ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GET IT. ALL THE UNSPOKEN THINGS BETWEEN THEM HANGING SO HEAVY IN THE AIR IT'S ALMOST PALPABLE. THE REGRET AND REMORSE AND GRIEF AND DESPERATE HOPE ON BOTH SIDES. TENMA'S EFFORTS TO FIND TOBIO IN ASTRO. NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF BEING WHAT THE OTHER WANTS OR NEEDS. I'M LEGIT CHEWING DRYWALL RN.

your absolute roast of tenma's redesign was so good lmao. "you can tell he hasn't had a good night's sleep in 3 decades" took me OUT. they really yanked his dilf card away and didnt give it back until pluto 😭

you really hit the nail on the head when you said hamegg's presence on the surface combined with stone's presence in metro city means astro isn't safe anywhere. one of my favorite things about the movie is how there is nowhere astro can go to escape the humans' cruelty. he can't even find basic safety and security, let alone home and family. it really drives home the hardship he's living through, and underscores the inherent tragedy of his existence. i'm absolutely fine.

i'm really surprised to hear you disliked astro's statements regarding his "destiny", since that was something i personally enjoyed a great deal! the way i've always interpreted is not that astro genuinely, wholeheartedly believes in fate so much as he has to believe in it to maintain his sense of hope and optimism. he has to believe that he has a greater purpose beyond a failed experiment and an imperfect copy of his father's real son, he has to believe he exists for a good reason, because otherwise, he'll have to face the fact that he's nothing more than a mistake tenma made in the darkest depths of his grief and denial. if he admits there's no such thing as destiny, he admits that he has no purpose and no place in the world. if he admits there's no such thing as destiny, he admits that he shouldn't even be alive. when he says it's his destiny to die at tenma's hands in the ministry, and when he says it's his destiny to die fighting the peacekeeper, that's actually an extremely realistic and heartbreakingly human response to his very distressing, very traumatic, and horrendously unfair circumstances. at the end of the day, he's really nothing more than a young boy who's just had his whole world ripped away from him, and he's struggling to make sense of this new reality he's found himself in. the horror of his situation is simply too cruel for him to accept fully, so he dresses it up as destiny. that's always been fascinating and heart-wrenching to me in equal measure. but i understand it's not for everyone, and to each their own 🤷

thank you again for linking me to the video! it was so much fun and so enjoyable for a die-hard 2009 fan such as myself. i'd be interested in hearing your thoughts if / when you complete your watch of the 2003 series, though i understand videos of that length require a lot of time and commitment, so i absolutely don't expect to see anything like that, lol. i hope you're having a wonderful day, and that you have a lovely holiday season if you celebrate anything around this time of year!

[kyuremking]

Please, I just had this thought-

Aldebaran, Marin and Ganzorig arrive in Japan to look the kids, the former two being like "Aight, where do we look? Gotta try sensing for their cosmos." Then from behind they just hear Ganzorig go "Nice punch, Felix! :D", proud dad vibes and all.

Aldebaran and Marin turn around.

And there, on a big screen, for literally everyone to see, is Felix beating the ever-loving shit out of Black Swan, who is desperately trying to crawl away.

He's surrounded by the other now-fallen Black Saints. Seiya's there too, just cheering Felix on, and Aldebaran swears he saw Master Dohko and Tenma in the background too (along w/ some of the other bronze kids). And don't get me started on the whole 'Saints shouldn't fight for personal reasons'- like "What do you mean this is a Tournament?!" This poor man is gonna have grey hairs by the time he gets back, I'm telling you.

Also, not Jaidev being housed by the guy who forced him into a fight when he had just been standing there on day 1. Putting Tiberius and Marcus in Gemini might not have been a smart move, in the sense that on the chance Tiberius begins to suspect that Saga had something to do with Athena's absence in Sanctuary, it won't end well, and Marcus might be more inclined on taking his frustrations out on the Gemini too. Either that, or the two pegasi will refuse to kill each other out of spite, having very bloody and brutal spars together instead. Though at least one of the more calmer pegasi incarnations will have to be present to stop them from going too far, maybe Orisos??

Shura and Chusor not being able to stand each other is so funny to me, idk why-

Saori is a businesswoman, so the moment she realized that Félix had the situation under control she decided to televise the beating (if not death) of the black saints. So Félix is ​​taking the opportunity to get the steam out of his system and together with Dohko teach a class on the 7th sense.

Ganzorig is enjoying being a father again, being able to be the fun father while Marin and Aldebaran are the boring ones only makes it better.

Well, the situation of the tournament was supposed to attract the attention of the Sanctuary, which they have certainly achieved. But someone will have to pay for a month's spa at Aldebaran when this is over.

Jaidev is not the type to hold a grudge, if he did his war would have been lost. Milo would prefer it to be, it would make the situation more bearable.

Everyone thought that Tiberius and Marcus would fight incessantly. No one expected Tiberius to take the time (and force Marcus) to explain his problem and why he hated the sanctuary and Athena so much.

And now Tiberius is on Marcus' side, because he has very high STANDARDS that he expects to be met and it is obvious that the Sanctuary and Athena of Marcus' time did not meet them, it is a shame what happened and he is extremely disappointed. Now he's trying to get Marcus to understand that the people who wronged him are dead and the people present are blameless. We'll see how that develops.

Orisos is realizing that getting too carried away by the eighth sense works against him when it comes to interacting with people who do not feel any kind of respect towards him. So he's facing his problem that he doesn't really know how to deal with stubborn people who don't care about his knowledge of the cosmos.

Chusor has a god complex and likes to equate himself with Athena and Shura doesn't like that. These two haven't started fighting yet because if they start it means they've lost.

I think the funniest thing is that Mu is still in Jamir without realizing the situation, he is the only golden one who is sleeping well at night

[kasagiggles]

HELLLOOOOOOO!!!!! >:D

may I ask mizuruikasa with mizuki and rui as lers and tsukasa as lee?? (in a romantic way, but only if u okay w this. u can write it in a platonic way if u want)

i really love ur works! have a good day :3

LEEKASA LEEKASA LEEKASA

hello hello hellooo :3

thank you so much for this request omg it was so so cute and fun to write!!! ALSO IM SO GLAD YOU LOVE MY WORKS AGHH THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

anyways i hope you enjoy ! 🩷

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

warnings: tickles!!

ler(s) : rui, mizuki

lee(s) : tsukasa

“do you know what happens to people who skip a date so they can practice their lines, tenma..?” mizuki teased, as she made herself at home on his hips.

the poor boy was stretched across the floor, pinned down and completely vulnerable in front of his partners. with rui sitting on his arms, and mizuki on his waist. he was absolutely flustered. “y-you don’t get it!! i really need to get this right! i’ve never played a character like this before…” he squirmed underneath their weight. mizuki and rui were fully okay with the fact that he had missed out on their date, the two knew how important acting was to him. realistically, they just wanted to see their boyfriend smile and laugh. his cheeks were burning a bright red color, he hated being so exposed. but when he was with those two, he knew he was always in good hands.

“p-please just spare me! i love you both, i swear i do!” he began to beg, kicking his legs up and down. mizuki and rui exchanged an evil glance, before they both looked down at their boyfriend. “sorry, my star… but this is your punishment.” rui said with a sinister giggle. that was the last thing tsukasa heard before he felt a gentle pair of hands roam around his stomach. “G-GYAH! STAHAWP!” he screamed, trying to turn away from the soft fingers. mizuki gently glided her nails across his stomach, she had just gotten her nails done, and the sensation was enough to drive tsukasa mad. he clenched his eyes shut, laughter threatening to pour out of his lips. “hmm.. seems like you’re being difficult today.” mizuki muttered under her breath, in an instant, tsukasa felt the cold air hit his skin as his shirt was lifted to his chest.

his eyes shot open with a gasp as he attempted to sit up. “s-stohop! don’t you dare!” he said with a wobbly smile. tsukasas stomach was incredibly sensitive, and his partners knew exactly how to take advantage of that. with his arms under ruis weight, he had no way of protecting himself, and had to watch as mizukis hands slowly descended back to his stomach. as soon as she touched him he flinched, with a quiet giggle. once her nails began to gently caress his soft skin, a waterfall of giggles came pouring out of his mouth. “I HAHATE YOU GUYS!” he screamed as his laughter grew in intensity. the two gasped in unison at his statement. “how dare you speak to us that way!!” mizuki joked, she paused, before lifting her hands up. tsukasa let out a sigh of relief.

he jolted when he felt a singular nail begin to circle ever so slowly around his belly button. if you knew tsukasa, you’d know his belly button is one of his worst spots. “oh my gohod…. plehease… i’ll do anything, not there…” he whined, trying to stay as still as he could. mizuki giggled, “anything, you say?” he urgently nodded, squeezing his eyes shut. mizuki sat up, removing her hands from his belly. tsukasas eyes filled with hope, maybe he could get out of this.

his hope was shattered in an instant as he suddenly felt a finger begin to scratch at his belly button without warning. the scream that followed was enough to alert the neighbours. he cried and wailed, squirming like his life depended on it. “GYAHAHAAHA STOHOHOP!!!” he pleaded as rui and mizuki both enjoyed the bright smile on his face. “sorry, you’re just too cute when you’re like this.” mizuki smiled at him.

“why don’t we step it up a little bit?” rui suggested, earning a groan from the laughing tsukasa. mizuki nodded in agreeement. before he could register anything. tsukasa felt a pair of hands scratch underneath his arms, he felt himself going into hysterics. it was so gentle, yet so unbearable. he pulled with all his might but could not free his arms from ruis weight. while he was distracted by ruis attack, mizuki leaned down, and began to plant warm kisses all over his stomach. at this point, tsukasa was losing it. he laughed and cried and kicked until he couldn’t anymore, as the torment continued and the fingers skittered across his body. his hair was messy from the struggle, and tears began to form in the corner of his eyes.

they began to slow down, admiring the giggly tsukasa. after what felt like forever, the tickles stopped, although tsukasa was still on edge, as he tried to catch his breath. he panted as they rubbed his skin, getting rid of leftover tingles. sweat dripped down his face, as he started to complain. “you guys are… the worst…” he uttered. “but i love you so much.”

i love lee kasa

[ririko64]

Hello guys! Today I wanted to introduce you guys all of the main Saiki K characters as Pjsk characters for my upcoming project! (Excluding Nendo and Hairo bc I can’t see them sing….)

I never thought of posting this bc I was too scared to but now I feel confident enough to do it! (I’m going to regret this)

Before starting!

- My English might be bad because I’m 🇫🇷

- in order to fit, or to be a bit similar to the character, and to make the story interesting, I had to put some headcanons….So please, PLEASE do not take it seriously!

- Each biography of the characters are for the main story! Of course, some of the characters will change for the better. The character seen as the mean character will change.

- If you’re fav is portrayed as a Saiki K character that you dislike/doesn’t think that he would be acting like this…I respectfully suggest you to not read the rest, you might die!!😨😨😱 /j /lh

- It is an alternate universe where all Pjsk characters at least interacted once with the Saiki K characters. Meaning that in this timeline, each group already achieved their dream! Like VBS beating Rad Weekend, Leo/Need finally becoming popular, etc….

- The siblings thing isn’t in order, meaning that the character being like Saki isn’t related to the character (example, spoiler, Makoto as Tsukasa and Suzumiya as Saki. I wanted to make Kokomi as Saki but………no.)

- There’s angst. Angst of every character INCLUDING MAKOTO.

Part one: LEO/NEED!

The first group that we all love!

We have…!

- Satou Hiroshi as Ichika Hoshino!

They are both underrated and beautiful characters who deserves more recognition and attention than any other character. Satou would definitely love singing, even if he is a baseball player, and has a lot of work. Unfortunately, Satou’s little brother has more talent than he’ll ever have, making him become his brother’s shadow, never seen, and never noticed.

And when someone WOULD notice him, it would probably be because he dropped something, or because he is “the big brother of the most talented guitarist”.

It would make him a bit jealous, because HE was the one who taught his brother how to play the guitar. He had no hope of ever being seen by anyone, so he wanted to stop being a musician forever.

But…His passion was something that he couldn’t let go of. So he secretly made a music club inside of his school, being its leader!

- Suzumiya Hii as Saki Tenma!

(At first I thought of Suzu as Minori, BUT I feel like it would be better for the world if she doesn’t become an idol…Sis would literally kill everyone 😭)

(Unlike Saki, Suzumiya isn’t attained by an illness.)

In this universe, Suzumiya is still unlucky clumsy of course, and she was just transferred into the PK Academy. Her clumsiness obviously made everyone feel a bit concerned about her, and some of course avoided her. Alone, like always…

But this pain would stop for a bit after meeting Satou! She will open up saying that, despite her clumsy behavior, she was a very talented person, especially with her instruments. As the nice person he is, Satou would immediately understand his struggles and invite him to join his club, and she would accept.

Mera Chisato as Honami Mochizuki!

Unlike Honami, Mera would never get bullied by anyone, they would just pity her since she is poor…She never touched drums before, yet when she joined the club out of curiosity, she was playing like a professional player. Afterwards, Mera would find herself playing this instrument, but since she can’t afford to buy it, she could only do it in the Music club.

Saiko Metori as Shiho Hinomori

(Most of his backstory is in the event story, and I haven’t made a good arc for him in the future main story…)

As the bad guy of the main story, Saiko’s purpose and backstory is still unknown, but his gaze would soften whenever he sees an instrument.

OKAY IM MAKING ANOTHER POST FOR THE NEXT GROUP SOON!

(Btw the AU is supposed to be called “Saiki Kusuo no Sekai” or Sekai K)

BYEEEE UHH HOPE U ENJOYED THIS! Now I have to make the characters cards, moving and talking animations , Sekai designs, EVERYTHING IM SUFFERING SHWKYZKAHAKABAKWJWNW WHY EHY DID I THINK OF THIS HUH?????? (No one forced me to do this ik)

lmk if you wanna know what’s happening for the next group! (I’m gonna make a part 2 anyway..)

Hope you enjoyed thisss
