Boueibu Shipping Week Day 1: 「Just the Way You Are」

Boueibu Shipping Week Day 1: Just the Way You Are Type: fanfiction Fandom: Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu LOVE Year: 2017 Pairing: IoRyuu Alternative Link: (tba) Author’s Notes: Yay, I made it! For a while I didn’t think I’d actually manage to finish these fics in time for the week, but by some kind of miracle, I did. Incidentally, this particular fic slightly reflects my personal situation (and why I wasn’t sure if I’d manage to participate), I swear it wasn’t planned that way. I just started with a premise and let it go the most natural way... xD Also, yay, I haven’t written Boueibu fics in ages, everyone’s possibly OOC haha

★★★ 

This was a rather unknown situation for Ryuu. He had changed his appearance quite a lot over the past years, as he grew up and constantly rearranged his view of himself, like any teenager did. He had tried out trends as they rose and abandoned them when they fell into obscurity again. It took him a while to settle on one distinctive, personal style instead of chasing after every fad that kids of his ages were obsessed with. And even after finding his own look, doing different things with his hair were nothing new to Ryuu. But right now, it was all just so… weird.

He looked into the mirror, but who looked back didn’t seem to be him.

 It was like the whole world stood silently still for a moment as Ryuu came to the realization that this was really him. He hadn’t seen himself with short hair for… how long? Ten years? More than that? He honestly couldn’t remember. And suddenly his pink locks barely touched his ears. The tips of his hair tickled a little but not the good kind. He didn’t really know what kind of tickling it was.

 When he finally managed to avert his eyes from the strange guy staring at him through the mirror, he saw all the pink strands of hair on the floor around his chair. One shop assistant had already sweeping them away. Someone else removed the last loose hairs from his neck, combed over his head one last time.

 “Alright sir, I hope you’re satisfied with the result.” Ryuu could see the hairdresser lady smile at him through the mirror and her smile was very nice, but the guy on the chair was still not really right.

“Sir, is something wrong…?”

 He turned around on the chair, shaking his head to shave off both the last stray hairs and his own doubts, trying to return to himself. He knew it was dumb making such a fuss over a haircut. It was just a haircut. Just laugh off the inner awkwardness. “Nah, it’s all fine. You did an excellent job, m’am, thank you very much.”

 But that didn’t really help.

Ryuu couldn’t even explain why having his hair cut short had such an impact on himself; it was just hair, it would grow back sooner or later. Sure, he wasn’t quite sure yet if he really liked it this way, but it had to be done. He had postponed this visit for so many weeks and in some way he was glad he had finally gone through with it. But at the same time, as he paid for the service and picked up his jacket, there were still doubts creeping around in his head, doubts about whether this had been the right step or not.

He was simultaneously nervous about the reactions of others and annoyed by this nervousness.

 On the way back to his apartment, Ryuu had the feeling people were staring at him, as if they knew he had looked different before, as if they disapproved of the change.

Which was stupid, he knew that.

But he just couldn’t help it, his mind made these assumptions beyond his actual will.

 He found his headband while rummaging through his bag in search of his phone. Pulling it out, he realized that he wouldn’t be wearing it for quite a while. And given the situation he would find himself in soon, he might not ever wear it again.

It all felt so weird.

As if he was slowly turning into a different person.

 The reflection in the subway train window showed someone he never thought he would become. The change wasn’t completed yet, but he could see the glimpses of it, and could imagine what it would lead to, how he would end. His ears were piercing-free right now, mainly to make things easier for the hairdresser, but he also knew he couldn’t wear all of them all the time anymore. And all of that even though he had liked his usual style so much. Maybe he should have found it several years earlier, to be able to enjoy it for longer.

He thought about taking a selfie of his new, short pinkness, but refrained from it after a moment of thought. He had never hesitated to take a picture before, but for now he decided he should better get familiar with this new view himself before he threw it at Twitter for the world to see. Another sigh. He should really calm down, it was just a haircut. He pulled out his phone anyway so he didn’t have to look at his reflection in the window all the time.

The ride back to his apartment had felt about twice as long as usual. Turning the key in the lock, opening the door, taking off his shoes, it all felt so weird. He sighed again.

It was just. A haircut.

 Ryuu could hear the faint sounds of a keyboard clackering at the speed of light from one of the rooms. He approached, silently. Actually it was pointless trying to surprise Io with this haircut, since he had been the one to suggest it. Ryuu needed to fit in with the company he had got him a job in, he had said. The two of them couldn’t afford to live on just Io’s income here, after all. This cut had been for the sake of the two of them, for their future together. They had discussed this so many times and decided to go through with this together. They both had to do their part, and this was Ryuu’s. He still wasn’t too fond of it, but he didn’t want to depend on Io like a housewife either.

It was time to grow up.

 But why did people have to change and lose themselves while growing up…?

 He kept staring at Io, who was so absorbed in his work he didn’t appear to have noticed Ryuu, at the back of his neck. He had seen this so many times before, felt it, kissed it, but suddenly, with his own neck just as exposed, he became much more aware of it. After a moment, he walked over and made his presence known by gently tickling Io at the back of his head, feeling every single one of the shortest hairs in the process. Fingers stopped on the keyboard.

Io turned around, let his look linger on Ryuu for a moment, then he took off his glasses and smiled. “Well done.”

Ryuu waited for a moment. Was this really everything Io had to say? After all the emotional turmoil Ryuu had gone through? After another awkward pause, however, Io let out a slightly nervous laugh.

“Sorry, I just have to get used to this sight first. But you do look a lot more mature now. That’ll be good for your job, believe me.”

 “Yeah”, Ryuu replied, “I guess…” He retracted his hand from Io’s neck.

“…Is something the matter…?”

Well, Ryuu thought, now that Io actually asked, there was no reason to hold back anymore, was there. All of this had been his idea, so he should take responsibility and listen.

 “It doesn’t look like me.”

Io crossed his arms, began to examine Ryuu head to toe, as if he had changed anything else about his looks. He was still wearing the same clothes as usual, although even that would have to change soon, at least during the work week. As a fan of stylish, yet comfortable clothing, he wasn’t really looking forward to this part of work life. “You’re right, and with a suit you’ll be a completely different person. A new man.”

 “I know. And it means goodbye style, goodbye girls, goodbye… me….” Listing all of this made Ryuu realize how much his life was changing right now, how hard it seemed to find a way to stay true to himself. He didn’t want to lose anything to adulthood. Especially not himself.

 This time it was Io who sighed, defeated smile on his face. He took a sip of his coffee and shook his head. “Ryuu, you idiot, you’re overdramatizing everything like usual.” The pink haired opened his mouth to reply, to protest, but Io was faster to go on. “Which means you’re still the same as always. You just got a haircut and will wear some new clothes. I know you’ll never be a full businessman, don’t worry.”

 It was almost funny that Io thought becoming a salaryman through and through would be a worry of Ryuu’s, but thinking about it, he was right. Ryuu was worried about this change. He didn’t want to go through it, even though he fully knew it was impossible to stay a teenager forever. Everyone changed a little as they grew up, right? It should be natural, but at the same time it didn’t really feel this way.

Ryuu searched for the right words to communicate all of this, reaching for his head automatically, once again becoming aware of his now short hair and how weird it looked. How “un-Ryuu-like” he suddenly was.

 “What about you, though?”, he suddenly heard himself asking, “If I’m becoming a different person, would you actually even still… you know… wanna be with me…?”

 “Idiot”, Io sighed as he got up from his chair, facing Ryuu on eye level, “do I really have to explain this to you… I’m disappointed.” Oh great, Ryuu thought, now it was time for a lecture on how important a second income was to keep their living standards the way they were, how he couldn’t just sit around at home and hope Io’s stock business would be successful forever. “I thought you’d know all that... that it doesn’t matter how you dress or how you style your hair or anything… Seeing you go on like this means you’re still the same stupid Ryuu as always, so why should I not want to be with you?”

He added a short kiss on top of his little speech.

 Io was probably right. It didn’t matter where they were or how old they were or anything like that, Ryuu would have always gotten himself worked up about something as trivial as a haircut. And Io would have always lectured him on it. Nothing had changed. He looked different now, but so far nothing had really changed.

The next kiss felt as good as always.

 “If you’re getting too crazy with growing up, I’ll put you back on the right track, okay?” Ryuu nodded. “Although… I guess as long as you’ll stick to yourself in some way, I’ll always love you. It’s just that simple.”

 Another nod, followed by another kiss. And bit by bit Ryuu began to feel better about the whole situation. No matter what he had to wear or do now, at the end of the day there was always someone who knew who he really was and how he really felt.

 Maybe growing up wasn’t so terrible after all.

[cupkayke]

For the fanfiction questions thing: 1, 3, 6, 11, 17, 21, 25, 27, 36, 40, 41, 46, 50 and 51 (I hope these aren't too many)

 Not too many at all! I like talking about myself lol.

Under a cut because longggggg.

1) What was the first fandom you got involved in?

Oh gosh, definitely Tokyo Mew Mew. I never wrote fanfics for it but I co-owned and then owned an Avidgamers RP site for TMM called MewUSA back in like 2004-2006. Avidgamers was a forum site engine that was pretty damn nice for its time (also FREE, that was a plus) and I spent HOURS creating characters, storylines, and layouts for it. There were TONS of individual in-character boards and I think we may have had up to 100 unique users at one point. The detailed characters/plotlines were BASICALLY fanfiction- I think I did an entire rp with myself between a few of my characters once- and it was a whole lot of fun. Some of the OCs from that site were repurposed into a longrunning rp I have with @liarino on AIM and I am FOREVER grateful that I met them through that site

Fanfic-wise, it was Full Metal Alchemist. I had a horrendous LITERAL self-insert OC fic called ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ that was based on an RP I did with a different friend. Plot? ‘Fangirl of FMA LITERALLY FALLS INTO HER TELEVISION AND WAKES UP IN THE UNIVERSE AND FALLS IN LOVE WITH ALPHONSE’. The end. I never finished it but holy shitballs it got SO MANY REVIEWS. I’m surprised how many people actually enjoyed it- I did get some criticisms but despite the fact that it was so cringe-worthy that I took it down it still got sooooo much positive feedback. I sometimes wonder if people would still be reading it on ff.net if I hadn’t taken it down the last time I overhauled that account. I still have some Ouran oneshots on there that I wrote TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO that still get reviews. Dayum. 

3) What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?

I have to say it’s a tie between the Tokyo Mew Mew fandom circa 2003-2006 and the Ouran fandom from about 2006-2008. My experience with them was limited to RP boards but I had the MOST FUN running MewUSA and a long-running Gaia RP ‘Hosting the Hosts’ because of the warm response to the concepts. The TMM fandom especially was super creative even back in the day- there were so many fan mew mews because the formula was so easy and that was one series that I didn’t mind OCs because the concept was easily applied. In-universe, the creator could have easily made more Mew Mews. So the possibilities were endless. That’s also the fandom I learned the majority of my writing skills from, even if I did get called out a couple times for shitty RPing. I got better and I was so sad when the engine finally kicked the bucket. Aside from the RP sites the TMM fandom had sooooo many fansites dedicated to the show- my other favorite being Neko Tokyo. I think that site might still be up… 

Ouran was limited to that RP I ran but damn I never had one so fun. That group of writers was hysterical and I actually met one of them in person because by sheer coincidence she lived near me. She moved soon after we figured it out but she came back for a convention and we hung out all weekend. Unfortunately I don’t remember her name and I lost her phone number T_T I wonder where she is sometimes. I wonder where a lot of my fan friends from back then are. The problem with early 2000s internet.

Tho I think Boueibu will be my new modern fave fandom.

6) List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

 Ohhhh dear. I’ll keep it to ones that I actually ship characters in because a lot of my early fandoms were MYSELF AS AN OC X HOT MALE CHARACTER. OTL. I was a weeb. Most of these are fandoms I’ve rped in rather than written fanfiction for, however.

Tokyo Mew Mew- PuddingxTart. I like to read IchigoxKisshu fanfics sometimes but that ship is highly problematic looking back on it lol

Code Lyoko - THROWBACK. JeremiexAelita. Adorable.

Ouran HSHC - I’m fond of HunnyxHaruhi (as evidenced by my mostly abandoned ff.net account) but basically AnyonexHaruhi is super cute. I think I read a fic once where Haruhi was in a relationship with ALL of the guys and it was actually super interesting. I don’t think I can find it again, tho.

Harry Potter - Drarry.

Walking Dead - CarolxDaryl FTW. and Richonne. I’ve toyed with the idea of writing fanfics for WD but never quite get up to it.

Mass Effect - Shakarian. Fuck yes. Fun fact I have an unfinished smutfic on the mass effect kinkmeme livejournal that I will EVENTUALLY FINISH ONE DAY AND PUBLISH UNDER MY NAME buuuut for now it will remain an anonymous abandoned fic.

Boueibu - …All of them? OTL I can’t pick one ship… tho if you force me… IoRyuu and BeppuMoto OT3.

YOI - I think everyone’s OTP is Victuuri.

11) Who is your current OTP?

Victuuri.

17)  Who was your first OTP and are they still your favourite?

Since Boueibu is my current fandom- I immediately was drawn to Enatsu since s1 had a relatively large focus on them but I’ve kind of fallen out of actively shipping them. I like them as a couple and I think they’re def boyfriends material but they’re definitely a comfortable ship. Their personalities are just… drama-free, so their relationship to me just seems like a quiet background relationship. IoRyuu is a little more volatile and I really like ships where there is a lot of between-the-lines interpretation and potential for conflict. Also I just really like the Beppus

21) What was the first fanfic you ever wrote?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The aformentioned ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ FMA OC Mary Sue Self insert fic. Definitely the first one I ever published on the interwebs. Although I think TECHNICALLY my very first one was a Pokemon story that I was writing for a little kid neighbor of mine back when I was like… 11. I think I had just gotten a computer in my room and I remember typing it up and drawing some cover art for it… it was basically an expanded version of the episode where Meowth and Pikachu were handcuffed together or something… except there were more Pokemon involved and ALL of the characters were friends. Like Brock and Tracey were both with Ash and Misty and all of the Team Rocket people were friends for some reason. Idk I was a weird child.

Ohhh maybe a tie for the FMA fic was a Code Lyoko one I wrote around the same time called ‘Desert Rose’. I can’t remember now which was published first because I deleted them all. Another Mary Sue OC fic but I actually am still kind of proud of how I expanded the Lyoko universe in my head. I came up with new areas to Lyoko and like a central region and how they all connected. Nevermind the fact that the girl with a CAT THAT COULD OPERATE THE COMPUTER was the main character and obviously I shipped her with Odd because YumiUlrich and JeremieAeilita were OTPs. It was weird.

25) What’s your most popular fanfic?

If the story was still up it might have been ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ because that fic still haunts me. Buuut it’s either ‘Naptime’ or ‘Desire’, one of my two Hunny x Haruhi fics from my Ouran days that I left up on ff.net for posterity. I have no desire to go read the cringe and find out which one has more hits but I bet it’s the G-rated ‘Naptime’ cuz ‘Desire’ is a) the first M rated Hunny x Haruhi fic on ff.net EVER and b) really really bad porn written by like, 16-year-old me. Oops. It’s a smidgen OOC on the part of Haruhi if I remember right buuut I actually still stand by the idea that Hunny is not as childlike as he seems.

Oh dear maybe that’s why I like Yumoto so much. Similar character type. OTL

27) What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

I feel like I’m horrendous at both but lately it’s titles that are giving me trouble. 2 of the 3 Boueibu fics I’ve written had different working titles that got changed the second the story went up to be published. I’m having a brain fart and can’t remember them but both ‘All the Pretty Little Horses’ and ‘Completely’ were titled something really stupid. And your giftfic was ‘?’ until I decided on the central theme lol.

36) What’s your favourite genre to write?

I don’t like reading romance novels but I love writing shippy stuff. Tension, build….smut

40)  What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

Pacing in longer works, definitely. Also just… keeping up with it. I am a horrible procrastinator and if I don’t actually have a deadline with external consequences then I never get anything done. I can’t set my own deadlines because I can always move them. I can’t get my family or friends to set them for me because I know they’ll forgive me if I fail (how horrible lol). I have tons upon tons of unfinished fics from fandoms past sitting somewhere in the depths of my word documents folder and about as many original short stories. I have so many ideas but because I get easily distracted and also because I am now working full time and suffer from typical adult exhaustion I can only put a fraction of them on paper. 

My inner critic is also a fucking bitch. I can’t get her to shut her face long enough to write a sentence sometimes. Again, I have to have a deadline looming before I can put her on mute most times. If I have infinite time, she doesn’t shut up and makes me rewrite a sentence 100 times because it sounds stupid.

41) List and link to 5 fanfics you are currently reading:

Ahahahaha… I don’t have 5 simultaneously because I can’t just… not finish reading something before moving onto the next one. I don’t also read things that are unfinished unless they sound REALLY interesting because I’m stupid impatient. But I guess for my current fandom (Boueibu) I’ll link 5 fics I read recently that I liked! 

1) Pink Blood - @magiccatprincess (okay actually this is one I’m going to read soon because it looked interesting… so it fits the question lol)

2) tuesdays - @vagarius (because how can I not love something written for me?

3) Liar - BlackJoker77 (A whoooole lot accomplished here in not a lot of words. Also, Yumoto character study/reading between the lines? Yush.)

4) ….. ok I ran out of ideas. I don’t bookmark anything OTL. I’ll come back to this question at another time with an ACTUAL answer.

46) If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

I’m most proud of ‘Completely’ at the moment- I really like how I pulled off Ryuu’s voice and it’s most definitely a scene I wanted to see written… so I’m happy that I was able to provide that scene

50) How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

It was basically an extention of RPing for the writing portion of it- ‘Nice of Me to Drop In’ was basically a cleaned up RP and when it wasn’t rping it was fan gratification for the other early fics I did. As a kid I used to (and still sometimes do) make up stories in my head when I was about to go to sleep, and a lot of them were episodes of my favorite shows that I wanted to see. So I’d put some of them on paper. And then it moved into the ~romance~ category; I was a hopeless romantic as a teenager and like a lot of teenage girls I was kind of horny so fanfiction was a way to explore my sexuality in the comfort of my own head, basically. I still like me a good smutfic and bonus points if it’s romantic AND smutty. My bf can definitely tell when I’ve been reading something naughty….

51) Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Okay, Imma do both! And I have 2 things to rant about because I can’t shut up.

Rant: This is more of a thing that I hate about MYSELF reading fanfics, but I hate that I get turned off of fics so quickly because of writing style. When I can push past beginners writing mistakes or mediocre quality writing I can sometimes find gem fics with plots/characterizations I find adorable, but more often than not I click out of fics after just a few sentences because I can’t stand poor writing. And I feel so elitist about it! Fanfics are free, fan-generated content. A lot of fanfics are written by kids or beginner writers. I have to keep reminding myself that not every fanfic author has gone to school for writing. They may not know the conventions of literature. They may not realize that they’re head-hopping in the middle of paragraphs. They may not know the proper way to punctuate dialogue (and I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW until grad school!!!!). If I let mistakes get in the way of content I may miss out on an up and coming writer. And lord knows I was horrendous when I first started. Everyone starts somewhere. I hate that it takes me so long to get out of teacher/writing student mode and truck through some writing that may not technically be the best but their heart is in the right place. 

Rant2: I don’t like how isolated fanfiction can feel sometimes. It seems like people don’t comment on fics as much as they used to, and I see these posts going around on tumblr about how authors LOOOOOVE comments and want more of them but then comments just… don’t appear. It’s not so hard to post one thing you really liked about the story, and even one thing you didn’t like. Comments help authors grow.I also don’t like how it’s so hard to find a beta reader or three to bounce ideas off of and proofread your work.

Gush: I love communities. I love the events fanfic authors put together. I love how when communities get tight-knit how everyone builds each other up and gives one another ideas. I just love fanfiction in general, really

aaaaaand SHEW. That was a lot. BUT DEF NOT TOO MUCH

base jumping into sports anime hell | canonxcanon | m//

if i have to spiral back into sports anime hell in this the year 2019, i'm gonna have to try to take a least a few of you nerds with me

hello! i'm jo, i'm nearing the end of my twenties, and i'm looking for some writing buddies (ideally in the 25+ age range, but please be at least 21+ to contact me) with an interest in a bit of canon/canon sports anime nonsense.

email is my preferred medium for writing, with discord for ooc chatter, and i'm primarily interested in post-canon settings with aged up characters. specifics, other fandoms, and contact info beneath the cut!

themes & settings my biggest crave at the moment is for threads set at least a few years after the school years canon of any given fandom. i'm mostly interested in post-college or post-career threads set in a canon (or canon divergent) universe, though i'm open to au ideas as well!

some themes/tropes i would love to explore: pining, career-ending injuries, fake relationships, rivals to friends to lovers, oh my god they were roommates, meeting again after losing touch for years, one character has gone pro and the other has not

some themes/tropes i would like to avoid: breaking up and getting back together, infidelity, substance abuse, self-harm, character death

do i have more specific plot ideas? you bet! send me a fandom or a ship, and i can toss out some more detailed ideas, or we can brainstorm something fun together.

fandoms & ships i'm a multishipper at heart, so while i could list a million and one ships for every fandom, i'll try to keep this section reasonably short. if you don't see your ship, run it by me anyway. i'm open to just about any canonxcanon m// ship, so i'm likely to say yes unless you've hit on something in my small handful of notps.

when contacting me, please also tell me which character you would like to play, because i never really prefer one character over another. if we're including smut (which is fine by me but not a requirement by any means), i generally think of most characters as switches. so the ships below aren't written in a set top/bottom format, they're just alphabetized because i'm that kind of nerd.

currently, my two fandom craves are haikyuu and kuroko, but i'm also super okay with anything listed in the other fandoms section. side note for haikyuu (and bnha) — i'm caught up with the manga and i have a big mouth, so beware accidental spoilers if you're anime only!

knb: aomine/kagami, aomine/kagami/kuroko, aomine/kise, kise/kuroko, midorima/takao

haikyuu: i started listing things but you know what just come at me with your ship cravings and rare pairs because i'm down for quite literally any ship you can think of except kageyama/oikawa which is regrettably my one solitary haikyuu notp

other fandoms: bleach, bnha*, boueibu, jjba, k project, kaze, megalobox, sound euphonium**, yoi, and potentially others (feel free to ask for my anilist to see more options) *i'm a little picky with bnha ships and by picky i mean mostly only interested in kiribaku and erasermic at the moment (or possibly something with hawks) ** f// is of course on the table for hibike!

response length & frequency in short, neither of these things are particularly important to me. imo response length varies depending on the scene, and response frequency varies depending on real life. generally speaking my responses wind up being longer and more wordy than they need to be, but that's a habit i'm trying to break.

i will always try to respond to you within 48 hours, but if you respond less frequently, that's totally fine by me.

i'm also ghost-friendly! if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. and i'm also cool with dropping threads that aren't working, but staying in touch. it's super chill if you ever wanna say "hey this isn't working for me, can we try a new thread?" or "hey this isn't working for me, can we drop the writing and just talk about anime?"

limits all the usual limits apply, and once again i'd like to stress that smut is not a requirement. i prefer threads that are more plot and relationship development based, though if you wanted to run a smut-centric side thread in addition to our main thread, i'm open to that.

i also prefer to start with just one thread with each writing partner. we might build up to more threads in the future, but i find it more manageable to start with one as we're getting to know each other.

contact info if you've stuck around and all that sounds good, i'd love to hear from you. just let me know what to call you, what you might be interested in writing, and we can get the ball rolling from there! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
