PINNED POST

Context for my blog:

I started this in 2020 following an intense hyperfixation based around what I dub the 'Kemamoto-mura gang': Keizou/Nathaniel, Fumiaki/Kenny, Yukiko/Lucy, Mariko/Kelly and Fuyunyan/Hovernyan - my main blog is @tousakamis , and my ao3 is @makochiu ! (with this in mind, please note many of my posts and older fics were written in 2020 and a lot has changed since this initial hyperfixation, but I keep things up for archival purposes!)

I often refer to characters with their Japanese names because I got into the franchise when the second games had only just released in Japan and thus the Japanese names just sort of stuck in my memory, but I will always respond to their English names (and for some characters I swap between the two)!

Beyond the Kemamoto-mura gang, my favourite characters are the Koma brothers, Hanako Noroino/Foiletta, Touma Tsukinami, Buck and Hailey-Anne!

I colloquially dub the 8th of February as 'Fumizou Day' as it was my first public post about the two characters which remain the center of my hyperfixation, so if anyone sees me talking about this please know it's more of a personal tradition than anything else - though, if anyone ever wants to join in even if it's just a singular post, I'd be absolutely honoured!

All my AUs are in this post!

While I do have posts exploring headcanons for the Kemamoto-mura gang on this very blog, it's been roughly four or five years since I first made those posts... I don't have much faith in 14 year old Alina to effectively demonstrate my headcanons and choices for this group of characters, and so I wanted to make a post offering quick summaries and explanations for anyone who may be confused or curious as to my choices.

I know as well that I am definitely not the spokesperson for these characters nor am I the only one to have headcanons for them (I might jokingly call myself the Fumizou CEO but that's been a running joke since I was once again 14), so please know my ask box is always open for people to ask questions and discuss/debate/share headcanons. This doesn't just count for the Kemamoto-mura gang either - while they are 100% my niche in Youkai Watch, I have a lot of untapped love for other characters and I'm always open to any questions or discussions!

Headcanons below:

Nathaniel Adams:

12 years old, lives by himself

Depending on the work, his parents are either wholly absent or only his mother is present - his parents are depicted as neglectful in my later works and his mother is depicted as abusive in earlier works (this, I will admit, was reflective of my youthful amateurish writing). This plays on the fact that in the whole second game, there is no mention or recognition of Nathaniel's parents being present or caring for him and it can therefore be presumed that Hovernyan is his only real support system. I often play on this as reason for him being very independent and determined to be a hero, because while it is canonically due to wanting to defend friends, I also like to factor in that he may feel as if he is all he has to rely on.

He can be quite snappy and rude, which leans close to canon, but I like to show him as being quite mellow or childishly playful around Hovernyan in comparison to others due to their closer bond

Kenny Forester:

12 years old, lives with family and moved to Kemamoto-mura at age 12

Can see youkai if he is a companion to Nathaniel and not the grandfather role - I wanted to play on the fact that he is Katie's grandfather and if you play as her he is gifted with that bond with youkai, and the fact that both Guts F and Guts K exist in later games such as Youkai Watch 3 rather than just Guts K being the 'correct' grandparent. Therefore, whether he has the watch or not, I wanted to write him with a unique bond with youkai either way; otherwise, what is the point of such a cute medallium entry? ("He was a boy that loved Yo-kai so much that he became one himself. That love still spreads through hundreds of Yo-kai friends.")

Friendly, playful, polite and enthusiastic to befriend Nathaniel, though... I try to write this in a way which makes him feel just as mysterious and confusing as it does friendly and endearing. In every work of mine, I try to give him this somewhat unsettling and confusing air - like, why CAN he see youkai, why is it that in every universe par the canon one he is drawn to the one boy destined to create the youkai watch, what is his whole deal? I want it to feel as if his existence is an unanswered question sometimes, but Nathaniel is too happy to just have a friend that he doesn't pry. I guess this plays into the fact that he's, in itself, an alternative universe watcher and he doesn't exist in what is classified as the 'correct' universe with Nate as the protagonist? Therefore he's not really meant to exist in Nathaniel's universe anyway, but despite that, he perseveres.

He and Kelly are the two characters which veer most into OC territory as I wanted them to feel different from Nathaniel/Lucy, but I do try to lean into canon elements of his personality as well, like the way he bickers with Nathaniel and a passion for moxie/guts and stuff like that

Lucy Adams:

12 years old, Nathaniel's neighbour and childhood best friend

She remains fairly close to canon in all my works - a sweet, friendly girl that sticks close to Nathaniel and teases him just as much as she cheers him on, also with a weirdly unexplained bond with youkai (because loving a watcher does that to you!)

However, in quite a few of my works, I try to play around with her character since she and Kelly don't have all that much in canon to work with in the first place - I like to show her matching Nathaniel's adventurous spirit and fierce moral code of defending people, for example. I want to explore her more, so perhaps I'll update this in future with more little tidbits about her character?

Kelly Forester:

12 years old, Lucy's classmate who has lived in Kemamoto-mura her whole life

I headcanon her as a trans girl with a fierce defensiveness over Lucy and a playful one-sided rivalry with Nathaniel which usually just leads to banter and teasing. Her transness is, in part, a headcanon which stemmed from my own untapped gender issues as a teenager, so it's one of those which has just always stuck because while I'm transmasc, having a character to weave the beauty of transness in youth into is very meaningful to me :-)

In my works she and Kenny... don't really interact that much? This was a completely unintentional thing, and while it definitely brings up questions of continuity in the grand scheme of things (like how tf does Katie exist), we ignore that. I'll probably play around with their bond more in my works! She and Kenny are the ones that feel most OC-like but I try to draw on canon alongside headcanons LOL

Hovernyan:

Nathaniel's best friend and youkai companion through thick and thin

One of my favourite things to do with Hovernyan is place that silly, bantering and ridiculous side of him shown in the movie and sometimes in the games next to a wistful, deep, brooding wanderer with a lot under the surface (which is brought to the light because of how a wandering spirit stayed stagnant for his human friend). He and Nathaniel have a bond which is rich in potential, namely in the forms of angst, and I like to play on the fact that they both adore each other and bring out the best in each other when they play around but also that underlying awareness especially on Hovernyan's side that their time is limited and Hovernyan just wants to care for Nathaniel and keep him safe while also not messing with fate too much.

Therefore, he will sometimes go on wistful, deep analysis's of his friend in my fics, right before going back to banter and teasing. I like to position him as a more logical and 'intelligent' figure than Nathaniel but also demonstrate that he, too, is just a silly goofball underneath that guise of put-togetherness

Drawing a randomly generated Haikyuu character (almost) every day until I give up

75. Shirofuku Yukie

[jesswritesthat]

Bokuto Kōtarō: Misunderstanding

Fandom: Haikyuu!! — [ Masterlist ]

Summary: ~1.5k, fluff

• Bokuto likes you, but gets the completely the wrong idea. You’re fine being friends though, right? A MSBY beach training session will sort that out.

Warnings: None

>>>>——————————>

Being surrounded by rowdy division 1 volleyball players wasn't how you expected it to be, you'd expected their level of professionalism to be carried over into their everyday lives - but this was not the case. Gladly so, honestly.

They were chaotic and mischievous, oblivious and loving, with a shenanigan never too far away. This was especially true for Bokuto, the wing Spiker who you'd become undeniably close with.

It was no secret he'd felt the same, always greeting you first and walking you home if you remained after his false promises of 'one more'.

MSBY could see it plain as day, though Bokuto had insisted you were only one of his best friends, there was a growing attraction imbued to his actions. How his gaze softened upon seeing you, how he'd memorised your boundaries so he could utilise physical contact, and how he'd effortlessly fit into your everyday life.

The teasing of his current teammates was swiftly dismissed as a joke however, when he received a visit from a particular nutritionist that seemed to shatter everyones' perceptions. Yukippe and Bokuto spent the entire visit by one another's side leaving you all to simply get on with your respective jobs.

"So you're pretty close with them huh?"

Shirofuku Yukie observed, the former manager of Fukurōdani - a team Bokuto truly cherished and would enthusiastically talk to you about late into the night and then profusely apologise for keeping you out so late whilst walking you home or preparing his bed for you to crash in. Yet every time, the love never faded.

It meant Yukie, like the rest of the team, was special to him.

"Didn't you hear me tell you the last 10 times Yukippe? We're not together, only friends and that's it - right (Y/n)?" He'd called after you for support when you'd walked past, yourself heaving a dejected sigh when answering and leaving the room.

"Platonic with a capital P."

The nutritionist seemed a little deflated by your deadpan response and lack of flustering to her claims as you disappeared through the gym doors, having hoped you'd felt the same attraction as her old Ace clearly did to you.

"Friends don't... you don't look at your friends like that Kōtarō. Not once did you ever look at Fukurōdani like that." Yukie pleadingly justified, both former Fukurōdani members outcast from the speculation regarding them.

"I know... but I can't help it." Bokuto hummed hopelessly, the truth making his emotions even more jarring. "I'd date them in a heartbeat, honestly."

"Then why don't you birdbrain?"

"Eh?! Because I can't! They're just not into... I mean they prefer..." He froze again, this time due to his uncertainty about your sexuality being public knowledge - you'd scolded him on not thinking before he speaks multiple times, and this was one of those times. "They're... just a friend."

———

It was the day you dreaded, the MSBY Jackals had decided to head out to the beach to try an unorthodox form of training recommended by Hinata. The man had experience as a beach volleyball player and suggested playing on sand had increased both his power and balance for on court matches also.

So here you stood, watching a bunch of physically fit pro athletes in swimwear play varying matches of beach volleyball. You'd crafted a necessary regime though and prepared everything required, and it seemed your team were surprised by your less formal appearance (as you're fairly certain this trip wasn't entirely for training purposes considering they'd reserved a chunk of their schedule for swimming and such).

As expected they'd garnered a fair bit of admiration but you remained oblivious to the attention you were getting, even if the team were protectively aware. All the more amusing when Bokuto noticed it too, overhearing a nearby strangers comment along the lines of "...really hot, I'll try to talk to them when they’re finished talking and I get the chance." directed toward you.

It was no surprise (to the team) when their loud mouth decided to make an overly showy entrance.

"Then we can work on— argh the hell?" You pulled the MSBY track jacket from your head, revealing a bemused team and happy-go-lucky Bokuto walking backwards presenting himself with arms wide.

"Don't want you damaging your skin in the sun!" A double thumbs up and cheesy grin was sent your way courtesy of the spiker much to your chagrin. Is this how that Akaashi guy felt catching jackets all the time?

Regardless you put it on, resuming your informative update and even when you were done, you missed the unanimous smirks of the team due to no interruptions despite having the chance.

MSBY had taken a brief break in the sea / sunbathing and to your expectancy there was a commotion in the water, having used your hand as shade to see you immediately regretted doing so. Kōtarō had stepped out of the ocean, muscles dripping and hair unfairly framing his face with a bright grin on his features. You hated this job, you hated this job, god dammit why?! Naturally he was greeted by two beautiful women and you're certain they'd complimented him and asked a question but he strolled right past them - only then did you realise his gaze was locked on you.

In a second a finger gently lifted your chin and you were met with the most beautiful sight you'd ever seen in your life, the sunlight highlighting his skin only disabling your thoughts further.

"Hey hey hey! What are you staring at (Y/n)? You zoned out."

"Uh— I, breathtaking..." You'd breathed it in way that caught Kōtarō off guard, amber irises analytically scanning your eyes, then lips, prior to turning to the horizon which snapped you back to reality.

"Yeah it is an incredible view huh?" He'd moved to stand by your side now, hands proudly on his hips.

"Yeah the view." A pause, then a glare. "Kōtarō those women...!"

"He really doesn't have eyes for anyone else does he?" Hinata chuckled, watching the scene unfold alongside Atsumu.

"Nah, (Y/n) is the only one who doesn't realise though."

They overheard your faint protest of how 'women were trying to talk to him and he shouldn't have just ignored them like that' but Bokuto seemed to happily dismiss it.

"Why so mad? Did you think they were pretty? I can introduce you if you want (Y/n)?"

His reply was questionable, and once Bokuto had gone over to Atsumu and Hinata (who were defitely flustering him about something) you fell into thought. You'd seen Atsumu address everyone who tried to flirt with him, the same with the other players but the fact Bokuto had just ignored them was so strange. Normally he enjoyed praise after matches, or any time really. Maybe he'd reached his limit today?

You didn’t have time to further ponder it though when you were interrupted by the aforementioned trio.

“Hey (N/n)! We’re gonna have another game, will you be my partner?”

“Did you run out of teammates or something? Or did Sakusa say no?”

“No! Jeez, I wanted you to set for me is that such a crime?” Bokuto jokingly pouted, yourself only shaking your head in bemusement.

“I’m in, makes sense to put the two Spikers on different teams.”

“Sure. That’s why Bokkun asked.”

———

It was a late practice tonight but you still thought the beach trip a week ago had imbued them with motivation. As the final practice match came to an end, the team prepared to head off separately. However, Meians’ partner had come for him today and you regretfully found yourself admiring the pair - how they'd brought food for him, and waited for him to go home together.

A defeated sigh escaped you, and only then did you take note of the presence beside you.

"Are you thinking about trying whatever they were eating?" Kōtarō spoke, gym bag over his shoulder having followed your direction of sight.

"Sorta? Well more like... no it's stupid." You embarrassingly waved it off, starting toward the exit when a gentle grip clasped your wrist.

"I'll still listen, stupid is more fun. Plus now I'm hungry."

You watched as he planted himself on the bench, a competitive aura about him that said 'I’m not moving until you tell me' and who were you to deny the person who was walking you home.

"Well, I was just thinking about going out with someone but I don't think it's in the cards for me."

Your calm nature and words seemed to surprise him, Bokutos' eyes widening slightly and for a second you swore he was contemplating more than usual.

"You're really awesome, you know that right?" You turned to him now, completely puzzled. "Anyone would be so lucky to have you, I'd be ecstatic, so try to see yourself how I see you."

"If you see me so positively, maybe you should just date me yourself Kōtarō." You jokingly laughed along with that accompaniment when he abruptly stood up with renewed determination.

"I would! I love you as a friend anyway and I've liked you for ages, but I can't."

"What?! I thought you liked Shirofuku hence why you were telling her we were just friends." You facepalmed, but reiterated your point of view to aid with his understanding.

"No I— I thought you were only into girls!"

…

There was a mortified silence, like the whole gymnasium had heard this and decided to tune in to listen. You're almost certain you heard Atsumu choke.

"Since when?! Where did you even get the idea?"

“Huh? I dunno, overheard ‘Tsum ‘Tsum mention it once, and you’ve never been bothered by male attention so I didn’t pry.”

“And you believed Miya Atsumu instead?!” You swear you heard the entire remaining team unanimously facepalm, grumbling curses under their breath despite Miyas’ hopeless protest.

“You gotta trust your teammates right? But when you put it like that…” Bokuto looked sheepish, despite his adamant defence of his setter which only left you laughing out loud.

“What’s so funny? It was a misunderstanding, I didn’t treat you differently and love you all the same no matter who you like.”

You paused, sighing hopelessly with a soft smile matching your new tone.

"Bokuto... I like you."

Keep My Hands Busy

Tags: gentle, slice of life, implied mild BokuAka Summary: Bokuto Knits

Bokuto knits.

And he loved it.

It’s not something he expected, but years of doing it (he started in high school) means it has… weight. Emotional weight. The fact that it was Akaashi’s suggestion makes it even more special. Even if he’d been a little… opposed at the start. It took a very slightly exasperated Akaashi sitting next to him as he hid under the desk to say, “I don’t really see how trying to knit on the bench is more embarrassing than this Bokuto-san.”

And he was right.

It didn’t help – as he loudly and pointedly told Akaashi – but he was right.

“It’s not more embarrassing. But I don’t see the point! How’s knitting going to help me play?”

He’d sulkily said that to Akaashi who had the audacity - audacity! - to roll his eyes and reply, “It’s about focus, Bokuto-san. Which I told you last time you asked about it.”

So, he more or less good naturedly started to knit. And found he liked it. Yes, he got some teasing from his team mates. And even more from Kuroo, but he persisted. Akaashi was right, it did help him focus. Or at least, it helped him not lose focus, but even more importantly? Suddenly he was doing something where he could make things for people!

Not that it started that way. He almost threw it down a few times – not as a tanty, as Konoha indicated. But in manly frustration!

But then he got his first few stitches down. They linked together, and they looked like they could be something. And after finishing three granny squares, he decided he was going to thank Akaashi with a small gift.

At least, that was the plan.

He misjudged the scarf for Akaashi and it ended up 6m long.

"You don't have to keep it," he said, not looking at Akaashi. Who very stoically took it from his hands, and wrapped it around his neck a lot of times. (He later said it was worth it, just to see Bokuto's face light up. Everyone said he was whipped).

And from there it exploded. Tea cosies. Hats. A jacket for Yukippe's dog. He managed to make Kuroo gloves that had cats on them, and he wore them every winter without fail. (Years later, when they wore through, he asked for a new pair)

When he finally ran out of winter things to make, he knitted himself a bikini and it’s still the coolest thing he owns. ... well, maybe not as cool as the Hooters shirt, but a very, very, very close second.

Even later, when he finished high school, when he finished university, when he was a professional volleyball player like he always dreamed… he still knitted. Even though he was better at focusing, and he didn't need to have his hands constantly busy to get through a match, he still chose to sit on the bench, when the opportunity came, and knit.

He still makes presents for all his friends, and they are better than ever. (The next time when he made Akaashi a 6m scarf it was on purpose. And Kuroo wears his fifth set of gloves, still covered with cats, on official JVA business. And all the jackals have matching cup cosies they proudly use.)

And every now and then Bokuto struts his stuff on the beach in his knitted bikini. But now he has a matching knitted coverup.

It’s incredibly hot – but he’s still cool.

Weekly Vocajournal #31 (16/04 - 23/04)

Good week for Yukari enjoyers (me)!

Yukippe - Watashi Iro A La Mode (ft. Yuzuki Yukari)

Cute, fluffy, brass-heavy song that reminds me of OSTER Project a bit. Yukari is appropriately cute and fluffy and probably the best tuning work this producer has to date.

mia/ia - Liberation Keyhole (ft. Yuzuki Yukari)

On the other end of the Yukari spectrum we have something dark and dissonant. This producer's illustration and video is getting better with every upload, love to see it.

Kashuu Ryousuke - Retro Kissa (ft. Yuzuki Yukari)

While I'm still on my Yukari streak... dry alt rock with a dizzying irregular meter. Watching the PV while listening feels like taking shelter from the sweltering summer heat (music) into a cafe that is only slightly less hot but still a welcome reprive (PV). This producer is really living up to the "Natsu no Owari" name.

Sukoya Cathedral - Shoumeisha (ft. KAITO)

Moving KAITO ballad. Love how expressive and strong he is in this.

Other Cool Stuff:

Yajima Rune - △▽ (ft Hatsune Miku)

Azari - Whisper Whisper Whisper (ft. Kaai Yuki, vflower)

Hinode ISUZU - curjas (ft. AVANNA)

Locust - Mushi no Kango (ft. vflower)

Yamichrome - Flower rafts (ft. Megurine Luka)

Rakuen Shigai - Rainy (ft. Hatsune Miku)

Shinkai Octo - Taika (ft. vflower)

LikeA - Haiiro no Fuusen (ft. Hatsune Miku)
