chapter 284 be like

[profectua]

Ness’s little signature im actually sick why is he the way that he is I need him to not be real for one second

[profectua]

Honestly, if I were a police and you treat your kid like this in front of me:

Then I'm arresting you too.

I don't care if the kid is guilty or not because whatever they did, you are definitely somewhat, if not whole, the cause for it.

I still don't understand why this scumbag didn't get arrested straight away. Like, the police are allowed to arrest anyone even without a warrant if they witness a crime and what this waste of space did was a crime! And no, what he did can NOT be written off as an act of disciplining a child—breaking a glass bottle on a kid's head is just plain abuse.

It really makes my blood boil to know that they just cuffed him up and threw him in the cell when he should've been taken to the hospital first—I doubt whether he even received a first aid 'cause he still had dried blood on his forehead when Ray Dark came to meet him.

He was just 15 at this time. He deserved none of that.

[profectua]

Everyone can headcanon whatever they want but whenever people say Hiori's a cozy game enjoyer, something inside of me dies

[profectua]

As much as I'm happy for Blue Lock S2, I also want to gatekeep Hiori from the animation team.

There is some kind of emptiness in his eyes that I haven't quite seen in the few frames of anime he was featured. I'm afraid that they might, unintentionally, ruin his character design for me—I don't want him to just be a soft looking boy; his eyes told his story way before Manga did.

Even when he was visibly smiling or laughing, there was some kind of sadness that was always, unknowingly, lingering around.

Something about him felt melancholic, and everything made sense when his backstory was revealed.

You might think I've gone crazy, but he seems so free now after the Ubers match. It doesn't make sense, I know, but at the same time, it makes a lot of sense.

He was just a cheeky lil bastard all along after all.

Bless ya, ya ultrasadist.

“the abused become the abuser” is the perfect description of Kaiser and i have to agree on your opinions on his backstory and when you said that in one of your posts. The amount of trauma he had survived, his mother leaving him alone with that shit excuse of a father that he lived and all of a beating from his father is heart shattering. Constant fear and pain in only things he knew while growing up, “if i fall, im gonna die” is practically his motto. Constantly stuck in a loop he is not even aware that he is apart of. He is not a bad person but he bites and wrestles yet he doesn’t know AND down enjoy it. He is not a violent man naturally and he doesn’t know why he bites.

(did i absolutely repeat that famous quote of a “isle of dogs” film, of course i did because it’s a perfect match for this)

🚬 *sighs in three octaves of melodrama* i'm not strong enough for this right now. gonna need to smoke ten full packs later just to forget about the eerie amount of similarities i have with said fictional character. i guess we're digging more up than flowers at this point in spring. we're digging up the skeletons too. of all the gut-wrenching character tropes to exist, kaiser just had to embody the worst ones. he becomes the very thing that he hates. he destroys everything he touches. he tries to escape his fate but ends up fulfilling it in the process.

i think the most horrible part of it all is the cyclical nature of his pain. everything in his family is passed down onto him. he acts just like his father, and he looks just like his mother. the one place where his parents are finally united in love is in the features of his own face. but even then, he's never satisfied with how he looks, constantly changing his appearance until he no longer recognizes himself in the mirror.

tbh this was a pandora's box because ever since his backstory dropped, everything kaiser has done in the past now has different meaning. he literally told ness a few chapters ago that the only time he ever felt genuine happiness was when he was destroying other people's lives. back then, it might've been interpreted as some sadistic tendency to crush other people's dreams in order to bring up his own. but now, it's more or less a reflection of his past. he was told that he ruined everything (his parent's marriage, his father's life, whatever potential happiness he could've had), so i guess he sort of internalized this cruelty.

i think kaiser is the type of person to hunger for fame not out of greed but out of desperate belief. he think that if he works hard enough, proves himself strong enough, climbs high enough, he can reach a point where no one will ever be able to touch him. and that also means no one will ever be able to hurt him.

The matchmaker has found a match……

your match is…. (REQ4)

HIORI YO!

x an Introverted, stubborn, thoughtful, + responsible gn!reader

I believe you two would be a great match!!

Both of you are rather reserved, and I think you too have a lot in common ! (aside from being a sadist…..unless-)

I think you guys would fall under the Highschool sweethearts trope <3

You both shared a few common classes together and sort-of became friends:)

Hiori admired your thoughtfulness towards your friends + Family and your flexibility.

And *poof* Hiori had a crush on you!

He asked you out on an evening date to the strip mall, which you accepted >:3

There was little boutiques and restaurants, he led you to the arcade and payed for all of the machines/games.

He let you choose the majority of the arcade games, which included the claw machine

Hiori tried to win you that ugly-cute panda that clearly had a factory malfunction, unfortunately he was running broke by the failed attempts.. 🫠

The games he chose was those shooter games, which obviously, he got the highscore in it every time.

Even though the claw machine was a sad fail, with all of the tickets he won on the shooter games, you can pick out a prize!

You choose the [ prize ] and left the arcade

He then took you next door to the Ice Cream Parlor and ordered a chocolate cone-cup for himself and a [ fav flavour ] for you ^^

You both walk around the mall with your ice cream and mindlessly chat, then start heading home

Hiori walked you back to your home (since it was dark, but he normally walked you home anyway^^) and right before you turn away he softly says “Wait,”

His eyes are focused on yours as he took a deep breath before saying his next words

”Listen.. I think it’s best if I come clean about this now.. um, I having feelings for you [Y/N]. And I have for a while. ..I need to know if you feel the same or not. I understand if it’s unrequited,”

You’re just kinda like ‘😧 ?!’

He just awkwardly-nervously stands there, his face blank and honest, contrasting with his frantic tapping foot lmao

You tell him that the feeling is mutual and he asks if you’d do him the honors of being his S/O :)

He offers you a polite kiss on the hands and runs off (he definitely yelled ‘ YESS!’ When he was far enough away lmao)

Now that’s how [Y/N] and Hiori got together 😌 now for general HCS!

Movie nights are definitely a thing for you guys, you created a wheel where it picks the movie and snacks you guys watch/eat (you both put your favorite movies/snacks in it ofc)

Hiori is a sucker for any type of horror, so hope you aren’t scared of it!

jk he wouldn’t watch any movie w/ you where you would be scared 😌 he likes action movies too :D

Will seriously watch anything you want though

Also video game dates!! again he played like only shooter games (+ Minecraft) so if that’s not your vibe ..😭

You guys have a cute lil Minecraft world and he made a zoo full of villagers and kept them in cages💀

also KNOWS how to use redstone, like yalls base is insane

your beds are obvi side-by-side <3

Super supportive of your hobbies!! You have a game? He’s coming!! Get a good serve in? He’s cheering!! Ref calls red flag? He’s booing!!

Sometimes he does struggle to match your enthusiasm due to his experiences with sports, but he is happy you enjoy it :)

He would talk vent about it every now and then, but wouldn’t want his issues to become ‘your’ problem :(

Gets on you for when you neglect yourself !! Acts like a nagging mom about it lol. He gets real serious about your mental and psychical state, saying how ‘just because you are always helping your friends, doesn’t excuse you neglecting yourself. You can’t keep giving if you don’t take care of you too, okay?’

he means well 🙏

You guys get into petty fights now and then, but that’s pretty much it. Obviously arguments are inescapable but for you both it’s pretty rare

likes slow days with you, you do your own thing for a bit and he does his

He really loves the comfort of knowing you’re there, even though you aren’t touching or speaking.

Hiori is probs a 6/10 on the affectionate scale, he does need touch but it doesn’t have to be dramatic, just simple pinky holding + a cheek kiss is enough for him :)

Loves giving you piggyback rides if you let him :3

Oh your feet hurt? Well hop on!

Loves doing little things for you, hand him that orange babe, he’ll peel it for you and remove all of the white stuff 😌

also his hands are so soft- he has a few calluses but still so soft. His nails are perfectly trimmed all the time, chipped nails? Don’t know her

— actually I lied, he bites his nails like CRAZY. they are so short he doesn’t give them the opportunity to get chipped 💀

If you ever wanted to paint his nails he wouldn’t argue :) just please, no greens or oranges

In conclusion, yours and Hiori’s relationship is pretty smooth and understanding! He gets you and you get him :)

(this was written b4 the egoist bible came out so 💀)

runner ups!

Kageyama Tobio

Kunigami Rensuke (pre wc)

Reo Mikage

(for the anonnie who requested this! hope this met your expectations!! also sorry if you don’t like Hiori or wtv 😭)

[profectua]

This is exactly why I love Hiori. Definitely, he's extremely perceptive and emotionally intelligent. A lot of this is because of his high composure, but in the light novel, his calmness is mainly explained by him distancing HIMSELF from HIS emotional state (and that he was lowkey kind of slowly losing it until someone finally listened to him (aka Karasu)). Essentially, in the light novel, it says he's not very in tune with his emotions because of how he views his life as "being a character in a video game and his path is his character settings" (Karasu says Hiori has a passive mindset too). Makes you wonder how someone that can't exactly understand his OWN emotions (until Ubers match) can be so emotionally intelligent and be able to listen to other people with full intention... It's so interesting how someone like him ended up being called blue lock biggest sadist too LMAO. When you look at the light novel and his egoist bible profile, he's a bit...strange😭. (I apologise for my yapping)

It's not just Hiori being kind perse. It's about him having a high emotional intelligence.

Despite being cool and reserved most of the time, he knows how to act accordingly in every situation and he doesn't really put himself in compromising situations.

He also doesn't give "unnecessary advice." If you have problems, he'll really "listen properly."

Hiori could have a career as a diplomat or even a counselor outside of soccer or being an avid gamer tbh.

[profectua]

I think Hiori has very gentle hands.

Like, you know those people who are very gentle with literally anything they do? I mean, their hands feel so soft—not talking about the skin but just the way they touch. It's like they treat everything as if it were the frailest thing in the world—they are so delicate with everything; it's so sweet. It's like they can heal the whole world with their hands.

Are you getting me?

Please say yes or else I look crazy.

I don't think I feel like this because he is drawn in a feminine way. I mean, we have Chigiri and Aryu too, but I never got these vibes from them—we have Anri too, but still no.

He is so gentle lover coded🐑🩵

[profectua]

He probably memorised most of her lines from movies too and uses them in regular conversations

do you think kaiser ever cosplayed/reinterpreted one of his mother's movie looks and if so do you think he ate

[profectua]

Whenever I find like cute wholesome Kaiser x reader fanfics I find it so funny because its like...no sir, you don't need to be dating some innocent soul. You need to go to therapy for ATLEAST 5 years. Only thing you should be commited to is your daily counselling sessions. I geniunely CAN'T imagine him being in a healthy relationship with how he is right now. Just look at what happened to Ness...should be proof enough. I mean, it's already pretty bad that he doesn't know how to take kindness or being treated nicely so...would he even understand the concept of love?

Isagi: Back when he was younger, he had a phase where he would do the dab whenever he scored a goal. It could be completely outdated too and people would cringe at him LMAO. Might’ve also done fortnite dance (he doesn’t even play fortnite). His teammates try to go over and celebrate but he randomly breaks into the orange justice (he can’t even do it properly) so they end up just standing there like 🧍. Let him have his moment I guess???

Bachira: He was one of those kids that played with insects outside or something (speaking from experience) 😭. You’d catch him playing outside and there were 3 worms, each with different names. He probably gave them sad backstories too. The neighbors thought he was weird as hell. If someone pointed it out, he’d be like “Stop being rude to them! They’re my friends!” And he’d actually look pissed off, exactly like this emoji 😠. If he comes back to the same spot only to find that they aren’t there, he’ll come home crying 😭 🙏 Please help him.

Chigiri: He’s canonically a moody guy…I feel like he ‘decides’ his mood for the day ykyk 😭. If it’s a clear sky, sunny day, he’ll choose to be happy but if he wakes up and it’s raining, he decides that he’s gonna be angry. Always ends up breaking character though. If he's laughing and suddenly remembers that he's supposed to be angry, he’ll immediately put on a blank expression again like 😐 and the people around him think they did something wrong LMAOO. Like??? What happened bro???

Kunigami: His go-to pose for photos is the thumbs up or the peace sign and HE LOOKS SO STIFF. He’s just there like 🙂 ✌️. He looks so awkward pls 😭. His little sister is trying so hard not to laugh and he’s just like ???? What's so funny?? If he’s accidentally photo-bombing and realises too late, he’ll strike that EXACT POSE until someone tells him to move cus his brain couldn’t process it ITS SO SAD 😭

Nagi: Once, when he was younger, he tried doing one of those free robux application things where you play a bunch of games for robux and he thought it was legit because some youtuber did it. His parents were like “Seishiro what are you even doing” and he was like “I’m grinding robux mom, you wouldn’t understand” Like Nagi…don’t even get your hopes up 😬. Long story short, it didn’t work and he ended up with some virus on his ipad. He woke his parents up at 3am and was like “um…I think I got hacked ☹️” His parents WERE NOT pleased 😭

Reo: Had a little rebellious phase where he only used cringey Gen Z slang. In front of his parents too and they’d stare at him like 😨. “Zamn ngl this food is bussin’ fr goated no cap,” said young Reo, at a luxurious 5-star restaurant. His mom almost choked on her food. Probably got side-eyed by the waiter too. He didn’t even realise that it wasn’t cool until he found out that NOBODY actually says all that 😭.

Barou: When he’s eating other people's food or eating at a restaurant, he judges it like he’s Gordan Ramsey or something??? Imagine he’s at someone's house for dinner and then when they’re eating he has this whole routine. First he sniffs, feels the texture, then he examines with his eyes, and finally starts eating. You’ll tell if he likes it or not from his expressions 💀 He’ll start interrogating too LMAO. He’d be like “What kind of spice is this?” “How much salt did you add?” HE’S NOT PLAYING YALL.

Rin: Took elementary dodgeball SERIOUSLY. He’d yell at his teammates. Losing? Not on his watch. “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?! IT’S DODGE BALL NOT GET HIT IN THE FACE BALL YOU LOSER!”. If he ever lost a game in PE, he’d start crying and throwing a fit, all while blaming his teammates. He would act like an angel if Sae was there though LMAO.

Hiori: He tries to re-enact cool moves from video games. Like if there's a character that has a cool playstyle he’ll literally hop out of his gaming chair just to swing a spatula around 😭. He got the sound effects goin on too, you can hear little pews and booms. Or if there’s a specific voice line from the final boss that he thinks sounds cool he’ll say it out loud (sometimes his parents hear and they think that he’s lost it not that they care though.)

Karasu: He had a huge chess.com phase, probably in middle school. But he was that one kid that goes ‘I wasn’t even trying tho lol’ when he lost (behind the screen he is SCREAMING in rage). ALSO He’s the type to be super expressive (kinda like Barou) 😭. You’ll know when he’s judging you cus’ his face will go 😬 😲 ☹️ 😧 🤔 in that order 💀. He could say something but his expressions reveal all there is.

Yukimiya: When he first got his glasses, he probably forgot them a lot LOL. Like he’d show up to football practice without them and one of his teammates would go “Yo where’s your glasses, Yukki?” and he’d be like…oh yeah. There was probably one point where he thought his eyesight was getting better. He woke up one morning and just decided that he suddenly felt like he had good vision again. It was all in his head 💀.

Otoya: He once tried hitting on a girl when her boyfriend WAS RIGHT THERE and he didn’t even notice. Let’s just say he ran for his life. His older sister has a video recording of it and uses it as blackmail. Worst of all he genuinely thought he could've ‘stolen’ her from him 😭 LIKE OTOYA NO. 😭

☆𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙋.𝙊.𝙑.

𝗌𝗒𝗉𝗇𝗈𝗌𝗂𝗌; w𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝗐𝖺𝗌 𝗂𝗍 𝗅𝗂𝗄𝖾 𝗁𝖺𝗏𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝖿𝖾𝖾𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝖬𝖾𝗀𝗎𝗋𝗎 𝖡𝖺𝖼𝗁𝗂𝗋𝖺? (𝖴𝗇𝗋𝖾𝗊𝗎𝗂𝗍𝖾𝖽 𝗅𝗈𝗏𝖾 𝗂𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗌𝗊𝗎𝗂𝗇𝗍 𝗁𝖺𝗋𝖽 𝖾𝗇𝗈𝗎𝗀𝗁)

The first flowers of spring were beginning to bloom as you and him tread the path before you. His eyes were shocking yellow and only seemed to get brighter when he looked at the flowers, almost like that of a pure child. You could only help but stare at him, a fleeting yet beautiful emotion washing over your heart. 

What was this?

“Look! Aren’t they pretty?~” he said with a giggle. It was music to your ears.

“O-oh..yeah-” the innocent brown-blonde haired boy grabbed your hand and for a second you swore your heart was about to leap.

What is it?

That was the first time. The first time of many. The first time you felt such emotions for the eccentric boy, Meguru. That night you scrolled through the pictures of him under the newly bloomed flowers, all giddy and smitten. 

No doubt, it was love. What a confusing emotion.

Meguru was quite the energetic person. He radiated the energy of the sun in broad daylight, or so you say. You watched him play football, you saw him at his highs and lows. You’d like to say you were there when no one else was. Though you didn’t know what he thought of you, hopefully, certainly he thought of you as someone special that he held dear to his heart as well, right?

Probably.

To be fair, he was ostracised almost his entire life so you were the one person he’d tell all his stories too. He told you about the monster, he told you about soccer, he told you about his dreams.

And with each talk you could feel yourself falling deeper in love. Maybe it was the way he always held his head up high, or the way he always knew how to cheer you up with that adoring smile and even the slightest of his touch. He was an optimist. And he had high hopes. You knew that. That's how it was with Meguru. 

“One day…one day I know I won’t have to keep playing by myself. Don’t you think so?” he said in a somewhat cheerful tone, turning his head to you with a hopeful smile, his eyes glistening.

He always seemed so passionate and sincere with every word. Like he didn’t have a care in the world, even if there was no one that quite understood him. You’d like to think that you were there for him, though.

Meguru was a playful guy. Sometimes he’d pass you funny little notes or kick the football at your back much to your surprise, only for him to giggle mischievously after. You can’t stay mad at him. He was like sunshine while you were a drifting cloud, way too infatuated for your own good.

“Wait, wait..,” he rummaged through his pockets, pulling out your favorite candy. “I got it for you, hehe~!” He always did cute things like that without much thought. Little did he know that when he did, it sent a weird feeling in your stomach. Butterflies, as they say.

Sometimes you wished for something more because your feelings were starting to overflow and absorb your heart. You could tell from the way you got lost in his eyes when he smiles, from the way he never gave up his ideals, from the way he just existed. If the whole town were to suddenly go dark, he’d certainly still shine, even if by himself. Because that's how he was. Even if it felt like he was alone, even if he was oh so far away, he was brighter than any star you’d ever seen. And you wanted it to stay night forever. 

You loved him. But he was always in his own little world. Maybe that’s another thing you liked about him. But even so, you still knew how he felt. At the end of the day, it was him and himself. You could only observe from the background. Like a spectator, almost.

Something ached.

Obviously that’s what he cared about. You know you can’t fill his void, don’t you?

That all changed though. Meguru’s football career was flourishing. It was like he finally found himself after he got lost along the way. And, my, you were so happy for him. You believed in him. But that little bird that you were trying to keep close to you was starting to learn how to fly.

What are you supposed to do now?

These emotions are confusing, aren't they?

Eventually your emotions were starting to feel heavy, as if they were subconsciously weighing your heart down. Not that it mattered, though. As long as you got to stay with him, right?

How confusing.

The least he’d do is give you a sloppy pat on the back before waving to you and scurrying off to some other football player. Probably his teammate, but who's really keeping track.

“Well, see ya later, ‘kay?” he’d say effortlessly, laughing with his teammates as he held his football close to him.

Your efforts will only go in vain.

Don’t get it wrong, he still shined, of course. Brighter than ever before, in fact. But it began to feel like that star was starting to fade away from your galaxy. And with each day, your feelings only began to stir up something more in your heart. Pain? Not necessarily. Just the dying feeling of seeing the one you held dearest to your heart not even recognise your feelings.

But good for him, isn’t it?

After all, he’s doing better now. It's evident. But your feelings are still locked up in your little heart. That’s no good. And yet, you can only smile back at Meguru anytime he casts that precious grin in your direction. 

You always loved the way he played football, so free and careless, almost like a dandelion, seeds blown against the summer wind. And you were just the grass that layed. But the breeze wasn’t so bad, was it?

It was almost as if you hadn’t talked to him as much as you two used to. He had so much ahead of him, so what did you expect? He had teammates now, people that understood him. More than you did? You’d hope not. It would hurt, wouldn’t it? You could tell from the way he always seemed to smell like sweat, from the way he always seemed to be dribbling the football out in the grass. It was different now. You weren’t against it, though. This is when he looked happiest. When the star was shining its brightest.

Quite confusing.

Meguru was like that. Would he ever realise your feelings for him? Maybe. But he never noticed the way you always seemed attracted to the glow in his eyes, the way you always paid attention when he laughed, the way your heart might have begun to hurt when he started drifting off into his own solar system. Atleast he was able to find what he wanted. Though a part of you wished that he wanted you. Perhaps you’ll one day be able to find what you want.

What will happen to those feelings?

Only time will tell. Love isn’t something to be shaken off so easily. I'm sure you’d know that. Perhaps if Meguru wasn’t someone so dear to you…

But he shines and it never ceases to amaze you. 

Aren’t you really just watching from the audience?

[profectua]

Anon: What do you think of non linear narrative? One of my characters has a long backstory I cannot sum up or cut because it shows a slow downward spiral to their darkest moment. My story starts with them putting the pieces back together and I want to keep the reader on edge until they find out what happened. But I don't know how to show the backstory, if not with non linear narrative, alternating past and present, or with a very long flashback...but that would probably be a prequel on its own...

Common and good advice is to start the story at the beginning of the action. Prologues, prequels, and infodump chapters aren't ideal for getting a reader invested in the right story. Long backstories can distract from, or become more interesting than, the main story.

Still, what is writing without creative rule-breaking? You have three primary options:

1. Alternate past, present, and future through flashbacks: This is a good way to avoid infodumping. It keeps up suspense while also allowing the readers a few mellow periods of calm storytelling. However, repetitive flashbacks/forwards can get annoying, distracting, confusing, or all three to readers. You may inevitably end up cutting some backstory to make this work. (ref: tv show, Bloodlines)

2. Present the story in segments: It sounds like you have two complete stories here, one with a downward arc, and one of recovery. You can make the backstory a prequel, but you'll lose that "edge of their seat" effect. My suggestion is to make the backstory "part two" of the same story instead of a separate story. Raise questions in part one, and then part two is a trip back in time that answers those questions. Done well, this can be very satisfying to read. (ref: novel, Yellow Raft on Blue Water)

3. Cut the back story to prioritize the main story: Keep only the details and references to the past that help the plot, with a reveal near/at the end. The reveal can be an explanation or a flashback. It can be a whole chapter if it needs to be. This format may spare the character arc some confusing melodrama. (ref: tv show, Broadchurch)

Only the writer will know which technique will best suit their story and their skillset. Since your two stories may have two separate tones and themes, choosing the right way to mesh those stories becomes more important. If you're not sure which technique will work for you, try drafting an outline for each technique.
