Tadashi animatic thing that took way to long

[pastenaga]

Tbh I don't remember if I ever told you that a year ago someone stole my phone and I had in it written the last parts of Love is a B*tch Aitada story 🥺😢 I had worked for many months so hard on the script bc I just wanted it to be perfect and I don't think I can ever recreate it as I had it...

So yeah. It still pains me so I'm not sure I can ever give you the ending I wanted for Love is a B*tch.

Summary:

He’d barely just arrived home from school and hadn’t even gotten changed out of his school uniform when he had grabbed his board in one hand and his gift in the other before he dashed out into the garden to find his favourite person. His favourite person in the whole wide world and today he wanted to show him just how much he cared about him.

It was valentine’s day you see, a day that young Ainosuke had only ever noticed passing by with vague interest before. He didn’t even know why this year was any different to the ones previously. Tadashi was his best friend, his only friend really, and had been for the last four years, so he didn’t know why this year of all years he felt compelled to give him something, but it had felt important to do so.

Just a couple of short chapters of Tadaai fluff for both Valentine's day and White day.

Joe: We're like a big, happy family! And I'm the Dad, Kaoru is the Mom--

Cherry: How am I the Mom? What gender roles are we pushing here?

Miya: I know you're going to say I'm the son, but I'm not! I'm the Gay Emo Cousin.

Reki: I'll be the son! The hot shot whose only dream is... to be a hero!

Tadashi: I feel like I'd be the Fresh Out of Jail Uncle.

Adam: And I'm the Sassy Aunt who talks shit about everyone.

Could I request Cherry, Adam, and Takeshi with a painter s/o?

Cherry

Their careers are very similar, Karou with his calligraphy and them with their painting.

They probably met when they were hosted at the same show on classical Japanese artforms.

As an artist himself he has a deeper appreciation for their technique with their brush strokes and fine detail work. It’s so delicate and perfect. He could watch them paint for hours.

Adam

Likely met at a charity or fundraising gala at a gallery they were showcased in and Ainosuke took a liking to their work.

Not knowing they were the artist, he provided his critics and was unanimously shut down by them. Decimated even by their words.

They told him that a bureaucrat like him could not possibly understand the passion of art like this, and since then Ainosuke has been obsessed with them and their passion.

Tadashi

He envies their expressiveness and creativity.

They get to be so free. Both on and off the canvas. Artist are known for being a little eccentric, so they can get away with things he would never dream of being so bold about.

Takeshi is actually a fairly skilled painter, but his art has no life to it. He can ‘play the notes, but not make the music’ as it were. So he just leaves the art in their relationship to them.

I just love the dynamic between these two. Wished they had more on-screen interactions.

Tadashi surprises Adam with some moonlit dancing in this comic for @AiShindoBang with a super sweet fic by @discokonomi!

I love that ep 1 scene with the boys and Kaoru too! I agree that Kaoru was studying them like the nerd he is, but I also think he may have saw a bit of himself in Langa at that moment cause of what happened when he first met Adam.

Like he saw Langa's awed face and was thinking, "Yeah, I know that look, doesn't lead to anything but heartbreak."

That frame is one of my favourite shots. It belongs right in a “Sk8 No Context” video. In fact, that’s probably why it was included.

I see it as caution, and instead of seeing himself in Langa, he sees Adam*. There’s the “Blue Theory” that I’m yet to write out I full, only backed up by that after-credits scene with Kaoru/Kojiro in episode nine. And while what Kojiro and Kaoru say about the matter contradicts what I just said, perhaps Kaoru’s stance on Kojiro “overestimating Langa” wasn’t that to begin with.

*I can quite unfortunately see a whump fic somewhere about Reki breaking up with Langa, or something, and pushing him into becoming the “next Adam”, either alongside Adam himself or against Adam’s desires (now that he’s all “reformed” or whatever… spoiler alert: he really isn’t), though given the circumstances of such a fic being created I can imagine it’s alongside Adam. (Eve goes a bit crazy, for real.) It’s shipping. I don’t want to find out if such a fic exists unless the ship, if included at all, is depicted negatively and as a “grave mistake”, or something. So, I’m not looking.

I see it, with episode nine in correlation. Kaoru is studying Langa, and Reki, and seeing himself, Kojiro and Adam from when they were kids (with a few differences, of course). Reki in this situation is Kojiro and Kaoru, and Langa is Adam. Makes sense, right?

Well, there’s a few shifts that I think Kaoru has studied (as the “smart one” of the group, I’m sure) Langa and Reki as to assure his suspicions of the similarities, or a lack thereof.

In fact, when I’d first seen this ask a few days ago, I’d gotten the idea to make a Venn diagram of all the similarities I could remember without rewatching the show:

Incidentally, Langa’s exclusive qualities are also connected to Adam — but he’s not included here, for obvious reasons.

The immediate parallels in terms of “Renga vs. Matchablossom” would be Reki/Joe and Langa/Cherry. Though, outside of ship dynamics (I’d so badly wanted to put “bisexual” and “gay” in the diagram, but withheld my compulsions — though, I did allow myself the “Lovestruck Stare”, as that’s canon compliant enough, with Kojiro giving several to Cherry and Langa to Reki, breaking the “obvious parallels” immediately, giving Langa and Joe more leverage as counterparts over Langa and Cherry) the parallels, as I’d just mentioned in parentheses, are more complex.

TL;DR: I really need to write my Blue Theory out in full, but here is the “character parallels” in the main cast (which doesn’t play into the Adam/Langa parallels as much as the Blue Theory does, with some Cherry on the side, and maybe some Tadashi/Reki parallels to compare with how they nurtured their own foils with Adam/Langa respectively).

The parallels aren’t as straight forward, but I think the main takeaway is just:

‘Do you love him?’ That was what his parents asked. ‘I don't know’ is what he would reply now if he could.

In all the ways that Tadashi thought his life would turn out, this wasn’t one of them. It had been sixteen years since he had last stepped foot in the Shindo manor, he never once thought he would be back here, and definitely not as Ainosuke’s husband. He isn’t his first husband either, as all the rest had seemingly disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

Will he uncover his husband’s dark past, or is he doomed to become just another in his long line of dead spouses?

Wait which episode was pissing with my boy tadashi

(in All Might voice) I AM. HERE.

Could I request Reki, Langa, and Tadashi (the soft boys) with a s/o who loves talking about how amazing they are?

Reki

Reki has always been everyone else’s cheerleader. But who cheers on the cheerleaders?

It takes him a bit by surprise when someone tells him he’s doing well. He knows he works hard, but effort and effect are not always the same thing.

Of course his mother always tells him how good he is being, but that’s your mom. Hearing it from someone else just hits different, and gives him little butterflies.

When they tell him he’s doing good, Reki wants to work 10x as hard for them. Not motivated by praise but wants to show that their praise is not unfounded.

Langa

It’s of course always nice to get compliments. And though Langa doesn’t show his enthusiasm like others, he does appreciate them.

Since moving to Okinawa, he’s felt like he hasn’t been good at anything. Except skating.

Learning a new culture, a new life, if hard. But he’s working hard to learn and fit in. So he appreciates that his efforts are noticed.

Langa tries to return the compliments when he can but he’s not great a social skills so sometimes they bomb.

Tadashi

Please tell him he’s a good boy.

Tadashi doesn’t nearly get enough praise for all he does. From his genuine work of running Ainosuke’s life & political interests, to making sure his boss doesn’t literally murder someone, he is significantly undervalued. Even if you told him every day.

Sadly, even if you told him how amazing he was, Tadashi wouldn’t believe or accept it at first. He would just shrug if off as a vague compliment, or straight up tell them ‘no. that’s not the case. I’m just doing my job.’

Once he realizes the compliments are sincere, he gets overwhelmed. Blushing secretly to the point that they can only give him compliments in private or in bed.
