#you're so cool Azami!!!

[unexpectedstormy]

Hi ! I'm pretty sure I promised you a fanart but in anonymous mode because.... Because.

So... I tried- But I want to say that I usually never draw boy, so this was a challenge and I wanted do make it pretty and all but I didn't want to work further on it because I would just change everything and redo over and over again and in the end just exhaust myself and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

It isn't in color because I don't have the accurate colors and my lineart pen died so it looks like nothing but a messy sketch but since I promised I hope you still like it !

(Also I wanted to do Legend and Hyrule too but my energy refused so they look like blob 😅)

Mmh......

WAHHH THANK YOU AZAMI THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Wild's face is so perfect and his tunic looks sooo good! Bwahahaha I love Hyrule and Legend's expressions! You're a really good artist! Thank you so much! (If people don't know, this is fanart for my fic Recharge which I just updated a few days ago.)

A3! Outing Event Translation - You're my first and last love. (6/11)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

Azami: It sure is hard to pin one down…

Misumi: Planning is hard.

Hisoka: We’re going to run out of time if we don’t decide soon.

Sakyo: If we don’t have time to prepare, then we have limited options for what we can do.

Sakuya: If it’s going to take a lot of time and effort, then that’s even more reason to decide quickly…

Masumi: …

Sakyo: Usui. Are not plannin’ on contributing today either?

Masumi: …

Sakyo: Hey.

Masumi: …Anything’s fine.

Sakyo: You opened your mouth and that’s it? Oi, do you even wanna do this?

Masumi: …

Sakyo: You didn’t say anythin’ at our meeting yesterday either. Do you really not have any ideas?

Masumi: SHUT UP! I said I don't have any, alright!

Sakuya: M-Masumi-kun!?

Misumi: Masumi, what’s wrong?

Masumi: It doesn’t matter. I’m done. …I don’t care about anything.

Sakyo: …S’cuse me? Don’t tell me that you’re sulkin’ cause we’re not going with your plan from before? So if you can’t do something for Director, then you don’t care anymore?

Masumi: —.

Azami: Hey, stop. Sakyo's makin' the mood worse.

Sakyo: …Usui.

Masumi: …

*runs out and slams the door*

Sakuya: Ah, Masumi-kun…!

Misumi: Masumi!

Sakyo: Leave him be. It’ll be better if he cools his head a bit.

Azami: You’re the one sayin’ that?

Hisoka: …You were also kind of at fault just now.

Sakyo: …

Sakuya: U-Um, well… I’ll come up with a plan for Masumi-kun in his stead…!

Azami: Don’t force yourself, Sakuya-san. No matter how I think about it, it’s impossible to continue our meeting today.

Sakuya: I-I guess so…

Hisoka: We should take a break.

Sakuya: But Masumi-kun…

Azami: Did somethin’ happen?

Sakuya: Masumi-kun hasn’t been acting like himself since this morning.

Misumi: Sakuya, let’s go look for Masumi then!

Sakuya: …Okay! Let’s search together!

Azami: *Sigh*… are we really gonna be okay?

Hisoka: …Hard to say.

Sakyo: …

-pause-

Misumi: Sakuya, was Masumi over there?

Sakuya: No. He wasn’t in his room either… I asked Tsuzuru-kun, but I heard he didn’t go back there.

Misumi: I see… Where in the world did Masumi run off to?

Sakuya: Masumi-kun…

Misumi: Here, Sakuya. I’ll give you a pretty triangle! So cheer up, okay?

Sakuya: Wow, it’s a pretty acrylic flower. Thank you, Misumi-san.

Misumi: It’s a rose petal! …Sakuya, do you have any idea what’s going on with Masumi?

Sakuya: …Actually, he looked sleepy when I went to fetch him from his room this morning. I thought he must've not gotten much sleep.

Misumi: I see…

Sakuya: I’m worried that he might have something eating away at him…

Misumi: Ah! Watch out, Sakuya!

Sakuya: Huh? Woahh! Oh… Hisoka-san!?

Hisoka: Zzz… Hm?

Misumi: Were you taking a nap since our meeting was adjourned?

Hisoka: Yeah. The mood was bad in the rehearsal hall.

Sakuya: You might catch a cold sleeping out here though. I almost accidentally stepped on you too.

Hisoka: Have you found Masumi?

Sakuya: No, not yet…

Misumi: Maybe he left the dorm?

Hisoka: … …I might have an idea where he is.

Sakuya: Wait! Really?

Hisoka: Yeah. Lend me your ear for a second.

Sakuya: Sure… huh?

Hisoka: —.

Sakuya: …I got it!

Hisoka: Talk to you again later then.

Misumi: What did Hisoka say?

Sakuya: So, you see—.

Event Translation - Spotlight ~Tsukushi High Side~ (Part 2)

Azami: …

Kumon: AZAMIIII!

Azami: !?

You surprised me… why'd you come up all of a sudden.

Kumon: No particular reason… I just happened to see you!

Azami: You're too impulsive.

Kumon: What were you doing?

Azami: …Here. High school questionnaire.

Kumon: Right… you're in your last year of middle school, aren't you! You're so mature, I guess I forgot~

Azami: Well, my mental age is probably older than yours, at least.

Kumon: Hey, what's that supposed to mean!

Azami: Means what I said.

Kumon: Ggnnh~…!

…So? You decided where you're going?

Azami: Seems like Shift already has, but… there's not anywhere I'm particularly hoping to go.

My old man and homeroom teacher are both urging me to think about it properly soon.

So for now I'm just thinking of whatever schools are fit for my current academic ability.

Kumon: Ooh! You should come to Tsuku High, then! I'd be really happy if you did!

Azami: Just cause you'd be happy?

Kumon: Isn't that reason enough!

I wanted to try for O-High at first, cause I wanted to be with Nii-chan!

Azami: …Did you pass?

Kumon: No. I had a fever day of the entrance exam and couldn't take it.

But I'm going full power at Tsuku High and enjoying my time there!

I've made lotsa friends, the classes are fun, and the canteen's menu is delicious, so I'm glad Tsuku High's where I ended up!

Azami: Hmm…

Kumon: I'll make a presentation all about it for you, Azami!

Azami: You don't need to go that far.

Azami: …

Izumi: It suits you, Azami.

Banri: Works pretty well.

Omi: Yeah, it's perfect. Really cool.

Juza: Feels different to Kumon.

Taichi: So cooool! A gakuran would be great too, but a blazer really fits~

Azami: Doesn't matter if it suits me or not.

Sakyo: Bon's entering high school…

Banri: Don't look so serious, old man.

Sakyo: Huh? Who are you calling old?

*door opens*

Kumon: Ah! Azami, you're in uniform!

Ooh~! It suits you really nicely, huh!

Azami: That's all I've been hearing.

Kumon: I'm super pumped to be going to the same school as you! Let's keep getting along, Azami!

Azami: …Yeah.

Kumon: I think I've still got pictures from your entrance ceremony on my phone… hang on, I think it's this folder…

Azami: You don't need to get those out.

Kumon: Hehe. But I really was glad you came here!

And I really enjoy being able to have lunch on the rooftop with you like this, too!

I didn't think you'd really come, so on the inside I was kinda surprised.

Azami: …I mean, anywhere I could go would've been fine.

Or like, it's not JUST because you made a whole hand-written presentation about it.

Kumon: Ahaha! It's fine either way. It was worth spending all night compiling Tsuku High's good points!

Azami: Where are you putting your efforts…

Kumon: How about it? Are you enjoying it here?

Azami: …It's alright.

Kumon: What's with that response!? You really aren't honest, are you~

[a3outfitstournament]

JUST FOR FUN: OUTFITS I THINK DESERVED TOP 3

i am NOT an impartial mod, i'm also an active participant in this tourney and i just happen to be facilitating this too. naturally i was a bit sore (in good fun of course) that some of my fave outfits didn't make top 3 in their respective categories so i'm here to give them another chance to redeem themselves <3 like with other 'just for fun' polls this won't have any effect on the actual results i'm doing this for me i hope you understand

my propaganda's under the cut under the poll

PROPAGANDA

azami summer:

normally i rag on azami for his choice of wearing baggy pants in like... every outfit he puts together himself, but i actually like this one

i think it helps that the pants are a light colour so they look like a cute summer outfit rather than the usual trash bag lookin ass shit he has in his spring and autumn fits

also the graphic on his tee kinda looks like the lesbian pride flag if you're looking from afar

he's literally saying lesbian rights how did we not put him on the podium??

banri autumn:

probably his best outfit tbh (one that he put together on his own that is; his play costumes are a separate topic bc HOOBOY his akebono-so and rad red costumes got me feeling some kind of way)

look that jacket alone is enough reason to make him deserving of top 3 in the autumn category HE LOOKS SO BOYFRIEND IN IT IM KISSING HIM ON THE MOUTH RN

and those pants look comfy af

AND THE NECKLACE IDK IT'S SUCH A NICE TOUCH

his shoes match his outfit and the hints of purple on the sides and on the laces are *chef's kiss*

if i had it my way he would've been on the podium with taichi bc they're top 2 in my book

banri travel:

ANOTHER ONE OF HIS BEST LOOKS (autumn still beats it tho in my books)

his jacket is only staying on through sheer sexy boyfriend energy but it looks great so who cares

yes i know the bag is divisive yes i know it looks like a bucket my friend when we were on vc literally asked "what shape of bag is that" but he has hot guy privileges i'll let him have this one

i don't like orange but the orange on his shoes match the graphic on his tee so it works ig

citron mankai encore:

HE REALLY MILFED THIS ONE UP SERVING CUNT AND ALL THAT

ALSO PINK LOOKS SO GOOD ON HIM THE WAY IT GOES WITH HIS WHITE-BLOND HAIR?? A WORK OF ART

that hair. that hairstyle alone is deserving of a spot on the podium (personally i'd put him third after banri and omi respectively bc those two were serving mega sex appeal but yeah it's still a spot on the podium nonetheless)

homare birb:

he looks boujee and classy which we know he is

he looks like he walked out of a 90s furry boyband the same one that azuma and tsumugi are in

he looks so smart and dapper it's an absolute crime he was FIFTH PLACE

homare autumn (yes the fact that i messed up the alphabetical order is bothering me pls don't rub it in):

once more serving that poet swag

THE VEST IS SO DAPPER HELLO??

AND THOSE SHOES?? okay granted if it was anyone else it'd be a fashion crime but homare has that arisugawa swag he can pull them off AND HE DOES. HE ATE WITH THIS AND Y'ALL DIDN'T PUT HIM ON THE PODIUM AND FOR WHAT /lh

i'm a classy lady so i'm not gonna drag those who did end up on the podium, but still HOMARE OUTSOLD (well except taichi but it's okay all 3 redheads are top 3 in the autumn category to me)

kazunari spring:

HELLO?? DOES THIS NEED ANY EXPLANATION???

the jacket over the shoulders is such a cool fun look on kazu

and his shirt looks super comfy i would wear that BOYFRIEND SHIRT PRETTY PLEASE

i know words on tees are considered cringe by some but i like it here it fits his surname MIyoshi

and the ripped jeans ugh slay king

the shoes are kinda chonky and i'm not a fan but other than that this whole fit is a serve

kazunari rehearsal:

kazu babe you put your whole kazussy into picking out and working those booty shorts and i'm sorry we didn't put you on the podium

not a fan of the shoes but let's focus on the top half

the colour coordination of the whites and blacks with the pops of yellow look amazing on him and go with his blond hair so well??

i would actually wear this to work out if the weather cools down ngl

the headband doesn't seem to serve any practical purpose but it looks cute so who cares!

kumon rehearsal:

TSUKUSHI HIGH LITERALLY DESIGNED THEIR GYM UNIFORM FOR KYU-CHAN AND WE DISRESPECT HIM BY LETTING HIM LOSE IN ROUND 2??? ABSOLUTELY NOT

the purple THE PURPLE THE PURPLE

HE'S SO CUTE LOOK AT HIM I LOVE HIM I'M GIVING HIM A HUG PROTECTING HIM BC HE WAS DONE SO WRONG IN THIS CATEGORY

i hope he continues wearing this outfit to rehearsals even after graduation, or that he buys a new workout outfit similar to this bc i cannot imagine him sweating in anything else

masumi rehearsal:

he's literally serving ace pride swaggery and we let him down like this?? CRIMINAL

that jacket alone is everything it's perfect it needs no correction it sets the tone it makes the rules it's the trendsetter it's ICONIC

love those sneakers too and how they match with the blacks and whites on his jacket

Wife giving birth

Fandom: A3!

Pairings: Itaru x reader • Chikage x reader • Sakyo x reader

Warnings: // Mentions of pregnancy // child birth // mentions of death // mention of car crash

Reader: Female

Last post here since I already finished this and I'm too lazy to move it to my a3! blog

Itaru

He was out with Banri when he suddenly got a message from one of the troupe members that his wife is going into labor.

Banri never saw Itaru run so fast just as he did after recieving that message-almost dropping his phone in the process.

Banri was the one driving to the hospital since Itaru was so nervous he was sure Itaru would crash the car if he let him drive.

As soon as they got to the hospital Itaru is out of the car and running to the front desk asking for your name.

He was outside pacing back and forth anxiously waiting.

His gentlemanly facade crumbling away.

After the whole ordeal was done and you safely delivered your child only Itaru begins to calm down.

Plays it cool once the baby is born and denies that he panicked.

Banri has a video of him running and screaming.

Chikage

He was with you when your water broke.

Didn't waste anytime and immediately drove you to the hospital.

One you're in the delivery room he messaged the entire troupe about what's happening and they immediate went to the hospital.

Chikage is sitting still waiting for the outcome.

He's very calm outside but he's a nervous wreck on the inside.

He knows the risk of giving birth and he is definitely afraid of the mere thought of loosing you.

Hisoka notices this and tries talking to him to calm him down.

"I am calm." He is absolutely not.

After you gave birth all his worries went down the drain and was so relieved.

A smile that he rarely shows can be seen on his face.

Sakyo

He had some small business with the Ginsenkai and since no one is with you he decided to bring you along.

He left you with Sakoda while he talks with the Ginsenkai members.

He was in the middle of discussing something with the members when Sakoda suddenly burst in calling for him.

He was about to yell at him when Sakoda informed him that you were about to give birth.

He dropped everything in his hands and immediately carried you to the car.

He was so nervous that he didn't even contact the others and was just walking back and forth outside the delivery room.

Sakoda was the one who informed everyone.

Best to let him be if you don't want him yelling at you.

Looses his composure and is a nervous wreck.

Banri and Azami enjoys this and definitely took some videos of Sakyo.

When you safely delivered the baby he would be all over you asking if you're all right.

Forbids anyone from speaking about how he acted while you gave birth.

[donuts4evry1]

hi so i caved and ended up writing a shitty oneshot with my favourite imagined character dynamic in Hatoful Boyfriend: Kenzaburou Urushihara and Albert Alain Aklan.

im bad at writing, stubbornly against proofreading, and i haven't played hatoful boyfriend in a hot minute. sorry for any mistakes i made.

Word Count: 636 words

The winter season marked a busy time in Torimi Cafe, with birdies flocking the cafe to escape the cold with a piping hot cup of coffee or a freshly baked slice of cake.

Kenzaburou often found himself exhausted these days, barely keeping up with the constant flow of customers. Sure he had hired help, but the store could still be quite overwhelming. His mind wandered back to the summertime, when an energetic human girl worked the temporary position at the cafe. The days were full of calm bliss and, near the end , turbulent romance. Azami and Rabu were still regulars, though he unfortunately couldn't devote enough time to the couple as he would've liked (at least he was able to attend their wedding back in the fall).

It was one particularly late night, near Christmas-time, that one of his odder customers came in- a stiff, quiet crow by the name of Albert Aklan. His hired help had taken the day off to spend time with family, and the cafe was practically empty. Despite the cafe being comfortably heated, a chilly air always seemed to surround Albert, long after the door closed and the winter wind dissipated. Still, Kenzaburou never felt unnerved by the crow. Perhaps it was just a consequence of living as long as he had- nothing could really surprise him anymore. Or, perhaps, he felt a sort of kinship with the bird. Unlike many of his regulars, Albert didn't have a tendency to chat. He simply sat in a lonely corner of the cafe, quietly sipping his coffee and blankly staring to nowhere.

At this point, no words needed to be exchanged between the two birds. Kenzaburou had long memorized his preferred order: one cup of medium roast coffee, black, made hot enough to cause somewhat serious burns if one wasn't careful (this was found out by complete accident, but Kenzaburou had quietly observed Albert subtly enjoy his coffee more when it was extremely hot). The barred parakeet had the drink out within a matter of seconds, though when Albert held out some money to pay, Kenzaburou shook his head.

"It's on the house. Think of it as a thanks for your extended patronage."

Perplexed, Albert took his coffee. "… Thank you." He said simply, storing the money back into his pocket.

After that, the cafe stood in silence for a long while. Albert, predictably, sipped his coffee while staring out into the gently falling snow, while Kenzaburou continued packing up the cafe for closing time. It was messier than he would've liked, but the surprise afternoon rush left him ill-equipped to clean up properly in-between orders.

"You missed a spot, here." Albert had suddenly materialized at the front counter, producing a tissue and cleaning liquid from who knows where. Kenzaburou was much too exhausted to be startled, instead nodding his head slightly at the crow. "I suppose you're right. It's been a rather long day, I'm making mistakes I wouldn't usually make… Odd that you found it all the way from your corner, though."

"It was unseemly to look at." He wiped the stain off of the counter, with an unusual speed and gracefulness that Kenzaburou hadn't quite seen before.

"You know, Albert, if you'd like a job here, I have an opening next spring…" He half-joked, after Albert had put away his cleaning supplies. Where did he get those, anyway…?

"I'm fine. But thank you." The crow declined, respectfully. He placed his cup on the counter, and without saying anything more, left the cafe.

As he finished up cleaning up the cafe for the rest of the night, Kenzaburou couldn't help but wonder what his mysterious crow customer was hiding behind his cool, quiet demeanor. It was unlikely that he would ever know, but perhaps that was a part of Albert's charm.

Touch Prompts: on a bruise

Dealer's choice

She didn't bother to hide her stare as she looked at his worsening bruise, all the more pronounced against his pale skin. U'mhig awkwardly pulled his hood further over his eyes, trying to block out her impassive gaze. Just what was she thinking?

"What happened to you?" Azami asked, her expression and tone both frustratingly neutral.

"Oh... Nothing serious." U'mhig tried to wave her off. Why did he have the misfortune of running into her of all people?

"We should make haste, U'mhig. The First Sword will be expecting our report." Bruse reminded him, gesturing for U'mhig to follow after him. Azami looked Bruse over with a cool stare.

"Can you not make the report on your own?" She asked, "I have business with him."

"Well-"

"Fantastic. Run along then." Azami cut him off, grabbing U'mhig's arm before dragging him off to some private corner behind a stack of crates.

"Azami what the hell?" He sighed.

"Sit." she commanded, ignoring is question entirely. She rifled through her bag for a moment before pulling out a small wooden box. When she glanced back up at him and noticed that he had not yet sat she huffed, "I mean it. It'll be easier if you're sitting down."

"What will be easier?"

Azami opened the box and showed him the contents, a bunch of colored pastes and powders were arranged inside.

"Cosmetics?" U'mhig asked, still not quite certain what Azami was driving at.

"Obviously." she said. When her intention didn't become any clearer she let out a deep sigh. As though it was his fault he couldn't read her mind, "Pink will make a fuss if she sees you like that, and I don't feel like listening to that all night."

"I see." he couldn't think of anything else to say.

"So sit."

U'mhig took a seat on the ground. Azami knelt down next to him, pouring pastes and powders into her hand before mixing it roughly with her fingers. Once she had a pale shade she was happy with, she coated the tips of her fingers and reached towards the bruise.

"The stuff I have is matched to me, so obviously this isn't going to be perfect." she explained, "But as long as you keep your hood up and out of the light Pink shouldn't notice anything amiss."

U'mhig let out a soft hiss of pain, his head involuntarily jerking away from her touch as she made contact. Azami huffed, taking him by the chin and guiding him back into place.

"Hold still." she chided him.

She worked silently and shockingly gently. She stopped for a moment, admiring her work before reaching for a small brush and applying some sort of powder. It tickled against his skin, but U'mhig didn't dare move again.

Without a word she pulled the knife from her boot and handed it to him. U'mhig wasn't especially familiar with how these powders usually worked, but he didn't think they typically required blades. She rolled her eyes and helped him angle it so he could see his reflection.

She was right. It wasn't perfect, but she had managed to cover the worst of it. As long as he kept out of good lighting, nobody would look too closely.

"You're surprisingly good at this." he said, if only to break the silence.

"You're not the only one with a sister who worries." she replied.

"So you have a sister?" He already knew that, of course. It had been hard to miss when he had caught that glimpse of her past, "Older or younger?"

"Depends on who you ask." she mumbled, rubbing the excess paste onto her own leg before packing her things away.

"What does that mean?" U'mhig asked, returning her knife to her.

"Exactly what it sounds like."

"It sounds like you're avoiding the question."

"Come on. That First Sword of yours is waiting on your report."

[mimus-mortuis]

That's a big dick - I mean text to swallow again.

I've been seeing a lot of speculation lately about "are traitors sorry they left" or "what their reasons were for leaving" or "how others will react when they come back". It's no doubt interesting, and I like to speculate about it too. But if we take the "Extraction" out of the spotlight and take reality into consideration, can they even come back?

I think there's something that a lot of people overlook. I won't talk about all of them, but I can say with certainty that mercenarism in Great Britain and Russia is illegal. In simple terms, it's a criminal offense. And these two have just become criminals. They betrayed not only Rainbow, but their home units and countries if you will. Because they are still citizens of their home countries and they are subject to the laws of those territories. And as far as I can tell they have no special privileges in this matter. Because Rainbow is not a separate country with its own laws.

Besides, let's not forget international law and the Geneva Convention. According to these documents "captured participants of military actions (so-called combatants or in simple words - official soldiers serving in the army) have the right to life, respect for their dignity, personal rights and convictions. But a mercenary is not a combatant and has no right to POW status. THAT IS, HE HAS NO RIGHT TO LIFE PRESERVATION.

Sorry, honeys, but you sold that right and traded it in for green wrappers and new toys. And get instead the opportunity to be hung from power lines like Christmas lights.

So don't tell me they didn't know what it meant to them. Don't tell me their home units or Rainbow didn't know what it meant to them. They fought criminals all their lives, but they went for it anyway. They became what they fought.

And if that were reality they would have been awaiting arrest and trial or at least an investigation into their activities there. And it would also mean that they could no longer serve, because criminals have no place in the police, army and special forces.

Nighthaven are no angels, they can be mixed up in any dirty dealings on your imagination. Now who's to prove they weren't accomplices? No matter how much they want to, they can't come out of this clean anymore.

So tell me, how can criminals go back to a unit that fights criminals? How can they go back to their countries without the threat of going to jail?

I think a lot of people have read the Azami comic book and know what happened at the end. I won't speculate about Thatcher's words calling Smoke a traitor, though I will ask why? If this is a double play, why is he calling him a traitor? Does he not know about it? Or is there no double game?

I wonder if they knew about the helicopter, about the attack on their comrades? If they didn't know, how will they feel when it happens? Ignorance does not absolve them of responsibility. And if they didn't know, would that be enough of an excuse for them to say "I didn't know my new family was trying to kill you guys, but nothing personally, I hope you'll forgive me."

But if they did know, did they do anything to stop it? Did they speak out against it, did they rebel? Or didn't they care? Pulse, your girlfriend just tried to get shot from a fucking helicopter, are you okay with that, honey? The woman you like was tried to turn into meat confetti. She literally could have died in there. But I see you're cool hanging out with Ace like nothing happened.

Also, Harry's words they seem strange - "Nighthaven's not our enemies yet," I'm sorry honey, who are they? They fucking tried to shoot your people from a helicopter didn't you notice? Did something happen to your glasses again? They could have argued, "It's none of our business what happens to the guns we sell," but the point is, they didn't SELL them, they GAVE them away for one very clear purpose. It was all planned out like a perfect game of chess. Even Hibana says that Nighthaven declared war on us, and now I hear "they're not our enemy yet." Harry, honey, shove your pacifism up your ass and get your head out of there, please. I'm begging you.

Reading the new comic, I think of strange things, but why is Nokk at Nighthaven's base? If Ela is a plant duck (as we all think), why can't she get that data? Why can't someone else on the inside do it? Could it be because there really is no sitting duck? There is no double game and they are just traitors determined to become criminals because of their selfish goals and that's the end of it? In that case I repeat my question: How can they come back?

I also wonder what Nokk will do if she meets any of her old comrades. What will she do if they try to stop her? Because this is no longer a training ground and no longer toy bullets.

[moonlight404-translates]

Hey, same person who told you which A3! VAs can rap, again. TY for responding.

About the current TWST event, I love the part where they went to Deuce’s hometown in the Queendom of Roses, Clock Town. The design of the town is like the opening & ending scenes of the Disney movie “Alice in Wonderland” & Deuce’s apartment is near a replica of the White Rabbit’s house. Also, I was surprised after seeing Deuce’s mom, ディラ, ‘cause she looked like a former bad girl w/ her hair & face.

The outfits for the TWST event is so interesting to fit the rabbit theme. Epel doesn’t want to be called cute, but his outfit makes me want to compare it to A3!’s Muku’s Easter Bunny outfit. Others said Silver’s a handsome rabbit prince, but I think it’s more of a rabbit soldier/knight. Ortho’s is definitely a techno/robot bunny w/ the thick rabbit legs(maybe it functions to just jump) & he’s not levitating to represent how rabbits move. And finally Deuce’s outfit makes him handsome & the blue color palate fits him perfectly. I also wanted to say to Deuce when he was embarrassed, “Come on out, Deuce. You look handsome in that outfit. Besides, A3!’s Tsuzuru had to wear his rabbit outfit(from the Alice play) outside.”

Unrelated, seeing the TWST outfits make me remember A3!’s Easter event & Spring’s Alice play where I think the A3! song “Wonderland A Go Go!!” should be used for Heartslabyul in general & for TWST’s The White Rabbit event.

On the matter on Autumn’s 10th play, good luck on getting Azami’s SSR card through event points, Taichi looks good in his woman’s outfit, & if you plan to translate the whole event, I can help w/ the grammar. Also, the only Spring’s 10th play N card not yet translated is Itaru’s.

Also, Happy Birthday to A3!’s Kumon on 07/20, TWST’s Leona on 07/27, & to BLACKSTAR’s Yakou on 07/31!

I love the new event scenaries! I was surprised with her design too. I imagined her very different, because of her reference in the heartslabyul manga. However, she looks cool.

Yesss, you get it! Their outfits go so well with A3! Rabbit Party. Muku and Epel, precious guys. Silver's outfit is my favorite, very subtle but cute. Hahaha, the night walk event. It's okay Deuce, you're not wearing a bunny costume like Itaru's.

I totally agree with you. I feel like listening to Wonderland A Go Go!!~

Thank you (´｡• ᵕ •｡`). I know he looks so good as Olivia. I might give it a try although I'm not that used to translating events. Oh, Itaru's N card you say... added to list.

Last half of July's BDs! Kumon's is so close. I hope to have bentos for his day (ーvー;)

[Juza Hyodo] Brilliance of Blooming SR — Backstage — MANKAI Livestream! ~LIVE: Juza~ — Part 2

Part 1 - Part 2

Translation under the cut

Izumi: Juza-kun, you're almost up.

Juza: ... Yeah.

Izumi: --

Juza: ... Is something the matter?

Izumi: Ah, sorry, sorry.

Izumi: You're planning to teach people how you do your hair, right? I forgot you were going to have your hair down.

Juza: Yeah... I kinda feel nervous.

Izumi: The fans will probably be surprised to see you like this all of a sudden. It's something new even for me.

Juza: Still, I'll just be doing things like always.

Izumi: Okay, it's almost time, so do you want to start?

Juza: Yeah.

[Livestream start]

Juza: ... Can you hear me?

Comment: We can hear you~

Comment: His hair!!!

Comment: His hair is down!

Comment: His hair looks great like this, too!

Juza: ... Hello. I'm Juza Hyodo from Autumn Troupe.

Juza: Thank you for answering the survey. I got a lot of requests, but--

Juza: Out of the ones I got, I'm choosing to respond to those of you who wanted to know how I do my hair.

Comment: Thanks to that, we got to see a rare Juza-kun!

Comment: Super grateful to whoever requested this

Comment: Roar~ lol

Juza: --

Comment: Juza-kun, say something

Comment: I can't hear anything but the hairdryer lol

Comment: We can't hear you!

Juza: Sorry, I didn't realize.

Comment: Cute

Juza: Okay, it's dry enough.

Comment: Juza-san's back to normal!

Comment: We got to see the prototype~

Juza: Next I'm gonna use wax and-- Ah, you wanted to see what I use.

Juza: I usually use this... hard type? Kind of wax.

Comment: Where can I buy it~?

Juza: I don't remember, but... I think it was at a pharmacy around here.

Comment: A pharmacy around there!

Comment: It's just like him to not say "drugstore" lol

Comment: Do you always use the same one?

Juza: No, it's not like I'm set on this brand. I just buy whatever I see at the time.

Juza: Oh yeah, I did get this wax Azami recommended recently.

Juza: I wonder if I should've used that here...

Comment: It's totally okay!

Comment: You can use that for the next stream

Juza: Next stream? I wonder if there'll be another... Well, I guess so.

Juza: Okay, I'm gonna continue doing my hair now.

Juza: I mean, not that there's that much to it...

Juza: I just take some wax in my hand and run it through my hair like this, that's all.

Comment: That's super simple!

Comment: That's the usual Juza-san.

Juza: This is just my own way of doing it, so if you wanna know how to do it properly you should probably ask Azami.

Comment: That's the Juza style!

[Choice 1: How cool]

Comment: Juza-san, you're so cool!

Comment: Even as a man myself, he's seriously admirable.

Comment: Looks like there are a lot of male fans watching too

Juza: --

Juza: Male fans...

Comment: Even if we're not commenting, we're watching

Comment: Juza-san has a lot of male fans after all

Juza: ... I see. Thank you for your comments.

[Choice 1 end]

[Choice 2: Any pointers?]

Comment: Do you have any special points about doing your hair Juza style?

Juza: Points? I haven't really thought of any.

Juza: Somehow I just really don't like having my hair in my face, so I keep it back like this.

Comment: That's such a simple reason!

Juza: Sorry for not having a deep reason.

Comment: That's the Juza-kun we know

Juza: ? I see.

[Choice 2 end]

Comment: It was really fun seeing how you do your hair!

Comment: That was helpful.

Juza: ... So, that's pretty much it for my personal stream.

Comment: It's ending already?

Comment: I wanna see more!

Kumon: Nii-chan!

Kumon: Your stream was super cool!

Juza: Hey, I'm still streaming--

Comment: Kumon-kun lol

Comment: Time for the brothers' stream!

Juza: Jeez...

Comment: Juza-kun's "big bro" expression!

Comment: So many rare Juzas today

Comment: Kumon-kun should do his hair Juza-kun style too~

Comment: Yeah, the big brother should teach his little bro!

Kumon: Huh!? Really?

Juza: I don't mind, but--

Izumi: Since he's already here, go for it!

Juza: Since we got permission, let's do it.

Kumon: Yaaay!

Comment: Hype!

Kumon: So I take the wax... like this?

Juza: Yeah, maybe a bit more... No, your hair's short so this is enough.

Comment: What a sweet big brother

Comment: This is so precious

Juza: -- Okay, that should be good.

Kumon: Yaaay, we did it!

Comment: Request: Screenshot time

Comment: I want a shot of the brothers

Kumon: Like this? Come on, Nii-chan, strike a pose!

Juza: Pose...? What should I do?

Comment: Hold up a peace sign!

Comment: Finger heart

Kumon: Oh, but you haven't taken the selfies to post after the stream yet, right!?

Juza: Oh, yeah.

Juza: I'm not good at this kind of thing, but--

Comment: What a serious face lol

Comment: Can't wait till you post these!

Izumi: It's time!

Kumon: Nii-chan, it's almost time!

Juza: Okay, it's time to end the stream for now. Thanks for watching until the end.

[Livestream end]

Izumi: Good work, Juza-kun!

Juza: Thanks.

Kumon: Sorry for bursting in like that! But that was fun~.

Izumi: That really did surprise me.

Juza: I'm glad the people watching seemed to like it, though.

Izumi: Yeah, and we didn't go over time so it's all good.

Kumon: I'm glad, then!

Izumi: Juza-kun, please think about which picture you want to upload to Inste.

Juza: I don't think there's much of a difference between any of them.

Kumon: Let me see! ... That's my Nii-chan! That serious look! They're all so cool!

Juza: ... Should we use this one?

Izumi: Yeah, I think that's good!

Post: Thanks for watching my livestream.

【A3! Translation】 Izumida Azami N: South Hill Prison

thanks for requesting ^_^

(translation under the cut)

Role Study: Ren

Izumi: Now, before we begin, I'd like you each to put on your accessories.

Taichi: Okay! It's such a small addition, but it really makes practice feel different, huh~.

Banri: And you'll get used to wearing glasses and a prisoner number at the same time.

Omi: Um, my necklace is...

Sakyo: Oi, Bon. That one's mine.

Azami: Ugh, seriously.

Izumi: Ahaha... Someone always ends up grabbing the wrong one.

Taichi: I can't remember anyone else's numbers either...!

Juza: The numbers are all over the place, it's hard to remember them.

Taichi: Right, there's gotta be a better way...

Taichi: Aha! I've got a good idea!

Banri: What is it?

Taichi: How about we all call each other by our numbers for a while, to help remember them, y'know!?

Taichi: We'll call it, 'Names are Forbidden! Prisoner Number Week'!

Juza: Prisoner Number Week....

Sakyo: The title doesn't matter, but he has a point. If we said our numbers on a regular basis, we'd have a beter chance of remembering them.

Banri: Getting used to calling and being called numbers should also help with our role-building, yeah?

Omi: It'll help me get attached to mine.

Izumi: You're right! I think it would also be a good idea to have everyone in the other troupes cooperate, too.

Azami: So everyone in the dorms gonna be calling us by our numbers.

Taichi: Alright, it's settled! I'll go ask everyone after practice!

Sakyo: Oi, Prisoner 187, bring me that plate.

Azami: Tch. Got it, 82.

Sakyo: Prisoners 213 and 201, go get the others. Make it quick.

Juza: 'Kay.

Taichi: Okay!

Izumi: (Hmm, I agreed to this, but it's pretty weird to actually hear a conversation using them....)

Azami: Anything you want me to get, Director?

Izumi: Oh, Azami-kun, thank you. If you could just help me with this...

Azami: .....

Izumi: (! That's right.)

Izumi: Prisoner 187, carry this.

Azami: Hold up, what's with the change in tone?

Izumi: Sorry, I...

Azami: Whatever, I'll carry it.

Izumi: Please do, 187.

Muku: Wah~, so this is Prisoner Number Week... How cool...!

Yuki: Not. Our living room's been converted into a prison cafeteria.

A3! Hyodo Kumon - Translation [SSR] Afterschool Time for Two (3/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

Waiter: Here’s your French fries.

Kumon: I’m digging in! *Munch, munch*… mm, that hits the spot! Fresh off the fryer is the best!

Azami: All you need is salt when it’s hot.

Kumon: Ketchup and mayo are still musts though!

Azami: Oi, don’t mix them with the fries.

Kumon: Aurore sauce is tasty though. By the way, Tenma-san was in the drama that aired yesterday.

Azami: Ah. Is that why everyone in Summer troupe all got together last night?

Kumon: Yep! Tenma-san wore a school uniform for his role that looked hella cool! He kinda had an aura about him! But it sounded like he had some mixed feelings… about wearing a school uniform even though he’s in university now.

Azami: But he was just wearing one a short while ago. Is that what it feels like when you become a university student? Is it available to stream?

Kumon: He said it was. I think you can still watch it!

Azami: I’ll check it out.

Kumon: Anyways, the homework I got today killed my braincells. I don’t get anything. Do you understand this, Azami?

Azami: There’s no way I’d get what someone two grades above me is studyin’.

Kumon: Ooh, good point. I guess I have no choice but to rely on Tsumugi-sensei. But I think he’s busy today…

Azami: What’s the subject?

Kumon: English.

Azami: Then you can also ask Chikage-san, can’t you?

Kumon: Ah, right! So true!

Azami: So even students who are preppin’ for their entrance exams get homework, huh?

Kumon: Well, it’s only for English and Japanese history. I ask nii-chan about my Japanese history homework.

Azami: Right. Juza-san’s only good at history.

Kumon: What do you mean by “only”!

*hits*

Azami: Dude, that hurts, y’know?

Kumon: Oh yeah! Say, Azami. I wanna go to karaoke tomorrow~.

Azami: Karaoke?

Kumon: Yeah. Also, I wanna go to the batting cage the day after tomorrow, and then the arcade next Monday~.

Azami: All you’re doin’ is goofin’ off.

Kumon: It’s fine, isn’t it! There’s not much time left in my high school life, so I wanna do everything I wanna do.

Azami: You can do all those things you said anytime. You can go to karaoke or the battin' cage even if you're not a high school student. Actually, when I see Juza-san and Taichi-san, it looks like it’s even easier for uni students to go since they have the time.

Kumon: That’s not the point, Azami! It’s like what Tenma-san said—the meaning of wearing a school uniform changes when you become a uni student. The homework will be way different, I’ll have to work a part-time job, and the cats I play with at lunch won’t be there. The only time we’re both high school students is right now. And there’s tons of stuff I wanna do with you while we’re in still high school together.

Azami: …

Kumon: Ah, I finished my drink. I’m gonna go to the drink fountain. Do you want anything, Azami? I’ll bring it back with me.

Azami: Oolong tea. Thanks.

Kumon: Okay!

*runs off*

Azami: …

*runs back*

Kumon: Thanks for waiting!

Azami: That was fast.

Kumon: Huh, really?

Azami: …Y’know, Kumon.

Kumon: Yeah?

Azami: I’ll go with you to all those things you mentioned earlier.

Kumon: Eh, REALLY!? YAY!!

*jumps up*

Azami: Shut up, dummy. Don’t stand up.

Kumon: Ahaha. Oopsies, sorry.

Azami: I doubt anythin’ will change between us once next year comes. But, we’re only high school students right now, right?

Kumon: Exactly! Ehehe, I’m so happy.

Azami: I mean, it just feels like we’re hangin’ out afterschool though.

Kumon: That’s fine! Everyone says we should do what we wanna do while we’re in high school.

Azami: Hearin’ that’s like a broken record at this point.

Kumon: Ah, I know! Adding to the list of things to do! I wanna eat a burger from “Burger Royale”!

Azami: What?

Kumon: Also, Kazu-san told me about a store that just opened last month—.

Azami: Can we go to that many places? Well, we’ll do as much as we can.

Kumon: For sure!

Event Translation - Spotlight ~Tsukushi High Side~ (Part 5)

Azami: …Go on.

Kumon: Huh?

Azami: Help out. Don't mind me.

Kumon: …Sorry! I'll message you when I'm done!

I'll help out until the next guy's here, let's go!

Classmate A: For real!? Thanks, that's a huge help…! Right, let's hurry.

*running*

Sakoda: …Azami, do you wanna go round with us?

Azami: …We'll stand out, so no. Plus, shitty Sakyo's here.

Sakyo: What was that?

Azami: …

*LIME notification*

Kumon: Azami, where r u rn? Azami: Roof Kumon: Got it!

Azami: (…Seems pretty lively in the schoolyard.)

*door opens*

Kumon: Azamiii!

I thought for sure you'd be going around with someone, but here you are!

Azami: Too many people, didn't feel like it.

Kumon: But that's the best part of a school festival.

Azami: Anyway, that was quick.

Kumon: The guy in charge later got the message and hurried over to swap out with me.

Thanks for coming earlier too, Azami!

Azami: …It was nothing.

Kumon: When I heard that guy fell ill, it didn't really feel like someone else's problem. It may be for my own satisfaction, but… I wanted to do what I could to help out.

Azami: I figured as much.

Kumon: It sounds like they recovered after some rest though, so that's good.

Looks like we can go around together, Azami!

Azami: …You really need to be so fixated on that?

Kumon: 'Cause this is the first and last time we'll both be able to do it as students of Tsuku High!

Since it's the school festival, don't you wanna make some memories? There'll be no other opportunity for us to enjoy ourselves together like this!

Azami: --.

You're saying embarrassing stuff as usual, huh.

Kumon: Huh!? I'm embarrassing!?

Azami: Not what I said.

Kumon: Anyway, we've gotta hurry! The festival's gonna end at this rate!

Azami: Yeah yeah.

Kumon: Ah, by the way, did you see Muku and the others?

Azami: Yeah. Got to talk to Shift too.

Kumon: What! I would've come if you'd messaged meee!

Presenter: At long last, it's time for the post-festival party! Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest to celebrate this year's successes!

*applause*

Presenter: Now then, let's open with the first years!

Please welcome Team Hostile Beats! Heating up the floor with a stylish rap performance!

Azami: "Listen up, see if you can keep up with our voice and hard dance."

Student A: Ooh~!

Kumon: Go, Azami!

*applause*

Yamaguchi: Kumon, we've gotta go on standby now.

Kumon: Okaaay!

Azami: …

Kumon: Ah, Azami!

I saw you on stage, you were SO cool! I got all pumped up, it was mesmerising~!

Azami: Thanks.

…You're up next, right?

Good luck on your comeback. I'll be watching.

Kumon: …Yeah!

Presenter: As sad as it is to end, next up is our final performance! Let's give a hand for a Tsuku High tradition, the third year's dance performance!

*applause*

Kumon: ♪~

Student A: Whoo~!

Student B: So cool!

Student C: Lookin' good!

*cheering*

Kumon: Haa, haa…

Student A: That was awesome!

Student B: So good!

Student C: I'm speechless!

Kumon: …Thank you so much!

Azami: …That was real cool, Kumon.

A3! Event: Dance with Butterfly Epilogue "Their Usual Chemistry" Translation

Izumi: Now that we're done with the evaluation for Winter Troupe's eighth play, I'd like to end today's meeting here. Good work, everyone!

Tasuku: Good work.

Homare: Good job.

Tsumugi: Speaking of… I remember we talked about holding a celebration party after this play.

Izumi: Right. Because the play has wrapped up, you can choose where and what we're gonna do at the party.

Homare: The answer is obvious, then…

Azuma: There's only one thing we can do.

Hisoka: …It's already decided from the start.

Guy: And it should be soon.

Tasuku: ?

Homare: We'll have a live viewing party of Tasuku-kun's drama, of course!

Tasuku: It doesn't have anything to do with the play.

Tsumugi: But simply having a party would be boring.

Homare: I know! Let's have a hot pot party!

Hisoka: …Again?

Azuma: He loves it.

Homare: Eating from the same pot can mean that we pledge our solidarity in the future! It's a good thing!

Tasuku: But we're always doing the same thing.

Tsumugi: I don't see why not. We all like hot pot, anyway.

Guy: Yeah. It sounds fun.

Izumi: What kind of hot pot are we going to have?

Tsumugi: How about we let our lead and co-lead decide that?

Homare: I like that idea.

Tasuku: I feel like we can come up with something decent.

Hisoka: …Say it on the count of three.

Azuma: Compatibility game? It's been a while, huh.

Homare: It'll be a piece of cake. I mean, we've grown more compatible with each other after that play.

Tasuku: Not sure about that…

Tsumugi: Okay, now, name one hot pot.

Tasuku: One, two, three… Miso.

Homare: Secret hot pot!

Tasuku: Why secret hot pot? I knew it. We won't match at all.

Izumi: Your answers are too different.

Homare: Having a secret hot pot means that we can experience the fun and thrill of guessing what is inside the pot. It's the best form of entertainment!

Tasuku: Nah, we really don't match.

Azuma: And that's what makes you two unique.

Homare: Cheers!

Tasuku: Cheers.

Sakuya: Good work on the eighth play!

Kazunari: GJ y'all!

Syu: *sighs*... I actually don't want to come. So bothersome.

Azuma: Now, now. We have the "Winter Moon" sake with us.

Syu: Just one toast, then.

Why are you doin' a hot pot at a bar, anyway? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Misumi: Hot pot tastes delicious when we eat it together~.

Kazunari: It's fun!

Tsumugi: It's a good thing we don't have to do secret hot pot.

Izumi: In the end we decided to make several hot pots.

Omi: The seafood hot pot is over here.

Sakyo: The crab should be here, then.

Tsuzuru: I've brought salmon.

Muku: The tomato hot pot is over here.

Itaru: I've brought cheese with me. Guess that means I should put it here.

Taichi: Nice! Bet it tastes awesome if we turn it into risotto!

Hisoka: Marshmallows…

Chikage: No place for marshmallows.

Citron: We have chocolate hot pot!

Tenma: What kind of hot pot is that?!

Banri: Dude, that's a totally Hyodo hot pot. I mean, he's already on stand by.

Juza: Hot pot is hot pot. I don't have any complaints about it.

Kumon: Just think of it as chocolate fondue!

Masumi: I've brought strawberries.

Yuki: Maybe the fruits should go to the choco hot pot.

Azami: Don't eat too much.

Izumi: Oh! The drama is starting soon!

Syu: Heh, so a period one, huh.

Tasuku: "How unsightly."

Kazunari: Here comes Tax!

Taichi: You really look good in a kimono!

Actor B: "What are we going to do, dear?"

Tasuku: "I shall cut down Suruga."

Actor A: "No way… Brother, wait a minute! Brother!"

Kumon: You're so cool, Tasuku-san!

᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃

Muku: Time sure flies by, huh. It's ended already.

Yuki: It's surprisingly interesting.

Tenma: I expected no less from you, Tasuku-san. You did well in an onscreen production even though that was your first time.

You looked stiffer than usual, though.

Tasuku: I still have a lot to learn.

I'm still going to focus on stage play, but I plan to appear in onscreen production again if I have the chance. I'll be asking you a lot of stuff.

Tenma: Sure.

Homare: …

Tasuku: You still filming?

Homare: This is an important page in your life, after all.

…Oh! I've got inspiration! Hold the camera for me!

Tasuku: Why me…

Homare: Brand new page~ Leaving with salvage, o page~... The pain that comes and goes, changing everything~...

What do you think? I'm quite proud of it.

Tasuku: …I really have no idea what that was.

< Episode 10 | Masterlist

[awxward]

A3! Boys + My Stuffed Animals

Spring Troupe:

Sakuya

Gabriel

Gabriel is a small elephant with big ears that constantly make him fall over. He has a pink bowtie that says 'I Love You'

Makes Saku feel safe and Gabriel is a reminder to himself that he's loved and appreciated by everyone at Mankai.

Named after a friend from theatre class :)

Masumi

George Washington

George Washington is a tiger. He is small, but his arms are like those slap bracelets so you can wear him on your wrist (or let him hang on the side of shelf like I do).

So I got Georgy-Boy for easter 2020. i asked my friends for name ideas. They sent me stuff like 'Stripes'. I went offline for a few minutes and when I came back online I told my friends his name was George Washington.

//////////

Me: tiger has a name now

Friend: which name did you choose?

Me: his name is George Washington.

Friend: what the fuck. how'd you get George Washington?

//////////

Pretty sure he got the name bc I was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack.

Citron

Daniel

Daniel is mostly pink but has other pastel colors that look like watercolors. He's a unicorn. And a ketchain. And he's one of those dream lites, so he lights up. (He's supposed too anyway, but he's never lit up since i got him like 7 years ago at a yard sale).

Named after Daniel Howell (formerly danisnotonfire) [YouTube]

Tsuzuru

Lucifer

Lucifer is a small panda pillow pet. Very easy to travel with bc he fits in most backpacks.

My mom told me she wanted me to have a stuffed animal with a biblical name, i picked him up, looked her in the eye and said "His name is Lucifer." My mom tried to protest. "You said a biblical name, Mom. Lucifer is in the bible."

Itaru

Pao(???)

Pao is a panda. They are also a phone holder thingy. Like it'll hold your phone if you're watching movies or whatever.

Like 5-ish years old. Got them from a friend. They have a tag with their name on it, but I read it once and then just called them "the panda" for some reason instead of their actual name and now the tag is too faded to read the name, but i am 38% sure it says Pao or something close to that.

Chikage

Tsuki

Tsuki is a dinosaur. Tsuki is a sparkly dino. He's green rn, but if you brush your hand over him, the sparkles turn over and he becomes orange. I like green tho bc his tummy and the bottom of his feet are orange and so are his eyes.

Named after Tsukishima Kei (Haikyuu)

Summer Troupe:

Tenma

Hinata

Hinata is a narwhal. A bright orange narwhal. Infact he is the same color as Tenma's hair.

Named after Hinata Shoyo (Haikyuu) [bc its the same color as his hair. there is a theme with this narwhal and the anime boys i associate with them]

Yuki

Steve

Steve is a regular teddy bear, except he has a shirt that has pikachu on it. (the shirt was originally Tsuki's bc i got tsuki at a friends build a bear bday party, but it fits Steve better)

I just think Yuki would try new designs/color schemes/styles by making clothes for Steve to see how they look.

I got Steve from a claw machine (my bf at time won him for me just before we watched Endgame together.)

Named after Steve Rogers (Marvel)

Muku

Eeyore

Muku most definitely loves the Winnie the Pooh movies and I will fite for this hc. He gets my Eeyore. You know how Eeyore's tail is always going missing or falling off??? Eeyore's tail comes off (velcro) but its attached to his actual body with a string so it cant be misplaced.

Eeyore has a patch that says "official disney store" but i got him for $3 at a thrift store.

Misumi

Sherlock

Sherlock is a polar bear. Sherlock is very huggable. He makes Misumi feel safe. He has a hat and scarf (that don't come off. they are sewn on him)

the hat has a pom pom on top and the scarf has a pom pom on each end. the hat and scarf and the bottom of his feet have a blue/white plaid pattern.

Kazunari

Victor

Victor is a puppy and the first big stuffed animal of mine on the list! He's all tan and abt maybe 3-4 ft long. Victor lays pretty flat so he's comfy to lay/sit on. I think Kazu would like sitting or laying on him when drawing. Probably has him on his bed so he's like a giant pillow.

Victor is from Toys R Us. I got him last August-ish from my Aunt and Uncle who found him at a thrift store and thought I'd like him.

Named after Victor Nikiforov (Yuri On Ice)

Kumon

PJ

PJ is a small white tiger. He is also a ball. He can fit in one hand. When Kumon is thinking or stressed or bored (etc) he just lays on his back and tosses PJ up into the air.

When Kumon is laying on the floor tossing PJ, Misumi sits on the bed closest to where PJ is and tries to grab him (but only if Kumon is in a good mood and okay with it) It's a fun little game they made up they like to play.

Pretty sure he was named after KickthePJ (YouTube)

liber pls give us a pic with all of autumn i am begging

Autumn Troupe:

Banri

Sammy

Sammy is another one of my large stuffed animals. He is also a puppy, but unlike Victor he is sitting instead of laying. He's abt 2-3 ft tall. His fur is the same color as Banri's hair. Great to squeeze at anytime, but very therapeutic when you're in a bad mood. Has a heart on his ear.

i got him abt 7 years ago. I had just finished spn season 2 and was upset abt the finale and had no way to start season 3.

Named after Sam Winchester

Juza

Tiggs

Tiggs is a beanie baby tiger. Tiggs is a little larger than PJ (and not a ball). He's a regular orange tiger instead of a white tiger like PJ. He'd buy Kumon PJ so they could have matching stuffed animals. Small and very comforting to just hold/hug.

Omi

Benedict (Ben)

Benedict, also known as Ben, is a small koala. Just a little bigger than Tiggs. He has a heart on one of his feet (i think the right one). very soft. very fluffy.

Named after Benedict Cumberbatch (Actor)

Taichi

Dean

Dean is my largest stuffed animal. He is a dark brown teddy bear that's abt 4-ish ft tall. He can be put in a corner and used as like a bean bag chair, or he can lay down flat and be a good pillow like Victor can.

It's very fun to just wrap around him and squeeze as tight as you can. Especially in when your in a bad mood. Very comforting to cry into.

I got him a couple years ago at a thrift store.

Named after Dean Winchester (Supernatural)

Sakyo

Lev

Lev is a lion abt the size of a regular teddy bear (maybe slightly larger). I got him a thrift store so he's slightly worn out from age. He's mostly a pastel dark yellow-ish tan and his mane is dark brown. very huggable.

He's the stuffed animal I sleep with. Smells nice all the time, like the fabric softener.

Named after Lev Haiba (Haikyuu)

Sakoda

Emotional Support Iron Man

So Iron Man is small and he sparkles. He will hurt you/someone if thrown hard enough. Sakoda likes heroes bc they remind him of Sakyo they look cool. I'd hc that he got Iron Man from Sakyo when he was younger and its one of his most valued possessions and goes everywhere with him (or stays with Azamo or Sakyo at the dorm. Maybe Izumi or a couple others are on the list of who can watch over Iron Man.) Very protective of it.

Got the emotional support part of his name from a friend.

She saw Eddie Redmayne on a movie cover (think it was The Danish Girl) and started freaking out bc she loved him. I handed her the Iron Man and the next day she thanked me and said he was an Emotional Support Iron Man and the name stayed.

Azami

[Emotional Support] Spooder-Mon

Sakoda knew Azami as a kid. He most definitely got him the Spider-Man so they could have matching plushies.

Spider-Man is square and has little blob hands doing the web thingy. The tag said travel pillow, but he probably just chills by Azami's bed. When needed, Iron Man will be placed next to him if Sakoda can't take Iron Man with him.

I brought him to school one day and we had a bio test and all the people sitting around me passed him around and gave him a pat for good luck. We all got good grades and then he was dubbed as Emotional Support Spooder-Mon, but the Emotional Support title isnt part of his name (unlike the Iron Man).

i wanted guy in the pic, but i also wanted tsumu and hiso in the pic so you get 2 pics for winter

Winter Troupe:

Tsumugi

Phil

Phil is a zebra. He is a pillow pet zebra. Like Lucifer, Phil is also easy travel size. The bottom half of Phil is pink, so I refer to him as my pink zebra.

I just think it'd be cute to have Tsumugi with a pillow pet ok. I also thought he'd probably have has Phil for many years (since he was a kid) and Tasuku most definitely brings up things from when they were kids and shit.

//////////

Tasuku: you chose the pink zebra, and for what???

Tsumugi: its a very aesthetically pleasing pastel pink.

Tasuku: THERE WAS A DOG PILLOW PET RIGHT THERE AND IT WAS CUTER

Tsumugi: dont talk bad abt Phil.

the rest of mankai: ????????

//////////

I got phil before I got Lucifer many years ago. He was old when i got him and he is very old now. I love him so much.

Named after Phil Lester (AmazingPhil) [YouTube]

Tasuku

Cap

Cap is a husky. He was won from a claw machine with Steve.

There's just something abt the grey and white that gave me Tasuku vibes. Also, Cap's eyes are abt the same shade of blue as Tsumugi's and Tasuku knows this bc they are in love. Very squishy when hugged and with the way he sits, you could make it look like he's guarding something.

Named after Captain America (Marvel)

Homare

Ushijima (Ushi)

Ushijima, also called Ushi, is the last of my giant stuffed animals. He is abt 2-3 ft tall (like Sammy) and has a tail abt the same length.

Ushi is a raccoon thats mostly hot pink. Ushi's eyes are also pink and just abt the same shade as Homare's hair, although Ushi's fur is brighter by a few shades.

Ushi hurts when thrown/swung hard enough. Very fun to hug bc he's filled with beans (like beanie babies) so unlike all my other giant animals, he doesn't have to be fixed/adjusted after everytime you squeeze him. The tail has cotton tho and makes a good pillow.

Homare would definitely just see a 3 ft tall hot pink raccoon and claim it with no explanation.

Named after Ushijima Wakatoshi (Haikyuu)

Hisoka

Vladmir Dracula the 3rd (Vlad, Drac)

Vladmir Dracula the 3rd, who has many other names but usually goes by Vlad or Drac, is a vampire (surprise).

Vlad is a squishmallow thingy, and their tags say something abt them being able to be used as pillows, and thats why Hisoka gets Vlad.

Vlad is triangular in shape, with triangle ears, and triangle fangs, so I thought abt Misumi, but i figured Hisoka bc it's a pillow.

He's like the perfect travel size and he has a cape and a bowtie.

Named after Vlad the Impaler, the real life inspiration behind Dracula (my brother thought he was named after Vladmir Putin and I wanted to punch him for that but I was too busy laughing.)

Also named after Dracula, who was a vampire.

Idk where 'the 3rd' came from, but it's part of his name for forever.

Azuma

Sebastian

Sebastian is a dinosaur thats blue with a white tummy.

He's also a squishmallow, but he's bigger than Vlad by abt 2× as wide, so he'd be harder to carry around, which is why Hisoka got Vlad instead. Being a squishmallow means he looks more blob than dinosaur and i love it.

His tag said his name was Dominic or something, but I named him Sebastian before I actually checked the tag, so he's Sebastian.

Named after Sebastian (Black Butler) and Sebastian Stan (Actor)

Guy

Moriarty

Moriarty is my other polar bear. I got him with Sherlock and named him Moriarty bc Moriarty is Sherlock's nemesis.

He's just a plain white bear thats very huggable and adorable. I usually have a bowtie on him bc it makes him look fancy.

Guy would like him bc he's plain white and very fluffy.

kazunari, the mankai company's resident social media specialist ("kazunari that's not your title, we're not paying you for this" "...anyways"), in an attempt to boost the company's social media presence, has mandated that all members must maintain their own instablam page! here is autumn troupe's attempt.

taichi: he already had an account so he's a bit bitter that he has less followers than some of the new accounts. his aesthetic is much like his personality- attempts to be cool that are a little reminiscent of 2013 tumblr mixed with bits of his actual likable personality! and dogs. lots of dogs. shut up yuki.

omi: a wholesome cutie! he originally created his account as a photography portfolio but now it functions as a mix of stuff he likes! it's mostly food, sports photography, ft. his life as a college student. this would all be fine if he didn't repost pinterest images of his dream kitchen and tag sakyo in every single one. ("it's not in the budget!" "if i don't get double wall ovens installed in the next two weeks i'm going on strike.")

banri: already had an account, got a bunch of of followers with minimal effort (as usual), and stopped using it because it got boring. he was pretty content just posting once every two weeks or whatever to keep kazunari off his back but then he saw juza's follower count grow and surpass his own. no doubt about it, this means war. banri's weapon of choice? thirst traps. ("that punk thinks he can beat me? always starting shit, i can't believe his nerve...he's going down." "...uh, banny? you know he doesn't even...you know what? nevermind.")

juza: has no idea what's going on. kazunari had to create the account for him. tsuzuru had to change the ridiculous username kazunari set. omi took his profile photo. it takes a village. since juza is the living definition of Trying His Best™ he took kazunari's advice to heart: post what you love. juza loves sweets, but he's trying to keep that a secret (no one has the heart to tell him that hasn't been a secret for a long time). hence, the cafe aesthetic. close to dessert without exposing his sweet tooth. it's perfect. a little too perfect. without realizing it, he's become the new source of cafe aesthetic and boyfriend photos for aesthetic posts on tumblr. ahem. juza doesn't really get it but he's happy to be doing well for the sake of the company. he is a little confused about one feature though ("hey kazunari? i've been getting these notifications that banri just liked a bunch of my posts from a few weeks ago? but then when i click the post the like disappears. is it a bug or something?" "...i'll talk to him.") (subtext: banri is bad at one thing: social media stalking)

sakyo: was forced to make an account (kazunari followed him around, not leaving a foot of space in between them for two days. sakyo's thinking of recruiting him to the yakuza as a torture device.) his aesthetic is very ~dark academia~ with a little grunge mixed in. ("where are you even getting the european gothic architecture photos? we live in japan"). the director and omi are very concerned with his more risqué photos, showing tattoos and smoking and the like. ("don't you know that kids follow us? you're supposed to be the adult here!!!") sakyo doesn't care. he's trying to get his account shut down within the month, or he'll be forced to take far more drastic measures.

azami: already had an account, but changed the username once the mankai company started opening their individual accounts. he refuses to acknowledge his inspiration. azami's account is flourishing, gaining followers by the day. while it used to just be makeup photos, he's branched into fashion and ~aesthetic~ type photos. the cigarette photo caused an ordeal in the dorms ("see sakyo!!! you're corrupting the babies!!!" "i'm not a baby!" this goes without response.) azami is the reason that all of the students have to sit through a two hour anti smoking lecture. none of them smoke.
