#Hoshino family

[love-me-mister]

something black and wretched twists in my gut whenever the main 4 (aqua, ruby, kana and akane) are featured in some new shiny promotional art for the series and ai is also there. drawn the same age as her kids. never older, never dressed differently as if she isn't born in a different generation than the main cast. and it hits me all over again that she died so young. barely or not even twenty years old. she died protecting her kids, what family she has left, and that was it. the brightest tragedy there is. and then aqua never even gets to reach his mom's age. he dies at eighteen. what the fuck

[andauserene]

Hiii! I read ur guidelines and im pretty okay with it sooooo may i request a crossover story feat. tfp and onk? Likeee reader is very very shy and sweet but secretly using everyone and everything for her goal who-knows-what. U can ignore this if you feel u dont like this

Right, i forget to say thank you n•QwQ•n~

A/N : Hello, anon! While I know what is TFP, I'm not sure what do you mean by 'onk'... so I assume you mean Oshi no Ko? (Shortened as OnK). If that is not what you want then I'm very very sorry QnQ""... You also don't request specific genre so I'll make it two parts, 'kay? Thank you to you too for requesting me this story, you're my very first request ever!❤️🫂

I do this request with a few Autobots such as ; Smokescreen, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Ratchet. Others will be on the next part! (I think you want short drabbles.)

Bright Star Eyes

Dark Star Eyes

Prologue

You always known as the beautiful girl with starry eyes. Shining so bright, you are always been every guys' crush at school, even Jack started to doubt his crush on Sierra when you seemed to catch his breathe very often than she ever did. And yet, neither of them knows what you truly hide behind that mask of beautiful lie. Your bright stars turned into darker ones when you feel very very intense negative feelings, and you still managed to hide that by saying it's normal and will eventually go after sometime. They believe in you, as you usually have only one star in your left eye, and the other one on the right will appear when you feel either positive or negative. No one realizes you lied. No one, but them.

Smokescreen

He is very very energetic and always been supportive from the beginning. When you first met him after you accidentally involved in an Energon Hunting Race thanks to Starscream, the Autobots decided to take you before the Decepticons do. Your eyes are unusual, after all. Shockwave or Knock Out may try to 'open' you up and study what causes you to have six-pointed stars like that. It was that day when you learned that you are tricked and fooled by those you consider close, your eyes turning dark. Desire to take revenge has taken over, and your stars get darker whenever you have ill intentions to use everyone who are valuable to you and your plans. Smokescreen, ever the observant, notices this and asks what's wrong. You shook your head and said that it was fine, but he doesn't seemed to buy that.

"You okay there, [Name]? You don't look very good..."

"I'm fine, Smokey. What is so different about me?"

He pretends to ponder for a moment, before straight-forwardly points out the darker stars.

"You usually only have one on the left, and now you have two. I know it's normal but... I don't think black stars mean something good."

Smokescreen immediately come into conclusion that something is not right about you when he sees your dark stars dilated and radiated black aura around your (E/C) eyes.

"Look, I know something had make you upset and if it was me then I'm very very sorry, but could you please tell me what happened and why the black stars? I hate to see your dark stars, especially if it means something bad."

He seemed sincerely wanted to help you, and he is such a good listener albeit his energetic and exaggerated personality. He listens carefully to you when you pour your problems. He has his own unique distinct personality after all. You trust him.

"It was... nothing too much of my concern... just... the feeling of betrayed by someone you always believe in feels so... rude."

He will listen closely to what you say, and after that, you both have a very warm cuddling session!! <3

I accidentally upload this and yeahhh... I will continue this later when I had the time. This was supposed to be unfinished but oh well. Tumblr sucks a lot.🤓

If Ai had lived, what kind of parent do you think she would have been to teenage Aqua and Ruby?

luckily for you anon, I have spent a truly healthy [<- lie] amount of time thinking about this!!! This is going to inevitably dip into how Ruby and Aqua are both changed by having her in their lives just because that obviously matters to how she and the twins interact but... honestly at this point if you're following me, my bi-weekly unhinged essays about the Hoshinos are what you're here for.

Also worth noting before I get into it that I'm purposely not thinking too hard about Current Things in the manga like the documentary Gotanda was working on or the DVDs........ we know so little about them I can't really factor them into my rambles here lol so consider this just my most ideal happy end AU for the Hoshinos.

Anyway, I think it goes without saying that Ai would continue being an excellent mom to Aqua and Ruby. There would likely be some bumps in the road following B-Komachi's dome performance as her fame and increased demand puts pressure on her time and energy but Ai's priority is and will always be her babies so I can definitely see her and Miyako having a Stern Talk with Ichigo at some point to make sure Ai isn't overbooked to the extent that she can't spend time with them lol.

I also have a totally self indulgent AU based on Emiya Gohan that lives in my head, based around the framing device of Ai wanting to learn how to cook so she can make proper food for the twins as they grow up... my read of Ai is that she has a lot of issues relating to food security as a result of the abuse & neglect she went through, so being able to make good food for her own children and sort of rewrite her own relationship with food and cooking would be really healing for her.

Something also interesting to consider is the question of whether Ai would have been able to work through enough of her baggage regarding expressing her love to Aqua and Ruby... it takes such a desperate a raw moment for her to finally conquer that fear in canon that it's hard for me to imagine it happening in anything less than an equally cathartic moment, you know? At the same time, I really love the idea of Ai's slow progress towards healing eventually allowing her to do it without that kind of urgent pressure... instead of dying, Ai lives so hard she can eventually overcome that fear by her own strength!!!

I also think there would be a lot more moments like Ai and Ruby's dance with both of the twins – moments of Ai helping them both to untangle the trauma and baggage they carry from their past lives just through the simple act of loving and supporting them as their mother. Both Ruby and Aqua are explicitly described as being children "who never had a mother in the real sense" before their rebirth – for Sarina, she suffered the emotional abuse and neglect of living with a toxic mother who centered and prioritized her own feelings of grief and pain to such a degree that she completely abandoned her dying daughter. For Gorou, he grew up in the shadow of his mother's death as a result of childbirth complications, blaming himself and carrying the burden of his grandparents' grief and expectations in ways that are implied to have strained his relationships with them and left him without a real mother in his life.

Not only is this a healing experience for the twins, it's also ugely cathartic for Ai, too. As I've mentioned before, Ruby's "it's okay for me to dance!" scene with Ai is soooo incredibly powerful because it's about these two victims of toxic motherhood finding safety, healing and empowerment in the wholly loving and supportive parent/child relationship they build together. In general, the Hoshino family is a safe place where these three people who suffered abuse, neglect and the absence of loving mothers could find a place to heal and be loved.

Because of this, while I don't think that Aqua and Ruby would be hugely different on the surface going into their teens, a ton of stuff under the hood would be massively impacted. I like to think that growing up with Ai as a positive influence in their lives would have allowed them to essentially lay Gorou and Sarina to rest much sooner than in canon – not to forget or erase those memories, necessarily, but to definitively move on as their own people, having purified Gorou and Sarina's lingering regrets and trauma and being able to wholeheartedly embrace their new happiness as Aqua and Ruby.

This also means that they both have a much healthier relationship with Ai, in a lot of ways. I don't think they'll ever stop putting her on a bit of a pedestal but more in the way that a lot of people do if they grow up with a loving and good mom. On that note, I also like to think that with Gorou's weird baggage not causing such a conflict that Aqua might actually start calling Ai "mom"....... it makes me so depresso that he never did.....!!!

Without the weight of Ai's death hanging over them and her full and loving support at their backs, Aqua and Ruby still find their way into the entertainment industry, though for different reasons. Without his guilt getting in the way of doing things he enjoys, Aqua can admit to himself that he enjoys acting and tentatively pursues it through his childhood as the protégé of Gotanda again but in happier circumstances. He has similar initial hurdles as he does in canon wrt comparing himself negatively to Ai and underselling his strengths, but Ai would have a good talk with him about valuing what he brings to the table and not worrying about matching up to anyone else. Eventually, he becomes pretty focused on like, weirdo ass self produced projects he does a lot of the work on (acting, directing and producing) that don't make a huge splash in the mainstream necessarily but are well beloved in niche and horror circles and Aqua's happy with his work entirely because it's his and he's happy to make it, which is most important.

Ruby follows a similar track as she does in canon with becoming a member of the second generation of B Komachi, still driven by love and admiration for her mom but from a much healthier and happier place. Rather than feeling like she has to live up to Ai's image in her absence, she is inspired by Ai's presence in her life, her active support and encouragement and her boundless love and excitement to see her kids do what makes them happy. The canonical B-Komachi gen 2 still come together in mostly the same ways because I love them too much to separate them but this time, they're directly mentored by Ai and go full force through the industry with her support.

Eventually, I do think the three of them go public about their family - probably around the time the twins have graduated from high school, just to properly allow them the chance to be relatively normal kids without the scandal and pressure of being Ai's children hanging over their heads. It definitely causes a bit of an explosion, but I think by then Ai would have successfully transitioned from being purely an idol and would be more of a general household name/celeb, so there isn't as much outcry, but it definitely still stirs up some trouble that she and the kids have to weather.

At the end of the day, though, her presence in their lives would be a huge boon to them and it results in all three of the Hoshinos being much happier and healthier people. This response uh got a way from me a little and turned into like a whole AU pitch but what are we here for if not to delulu ourselves about scenarios where the Hoshinos could be happy..............

[greatwyrmgold]

Reviewing early chapters of Oshi no Ko for fanfic purposes makes me wonder what the domestic situation of Ai and the twins and the Saitous was.

On one hand, there are lots of scenes of Ai and the twins and Miyako/Ichigo/both Saitous. Domestic scenes where they chat casually with couches or a kitchenette or something in the background, scenes clearly taking place at someone's apartment. And it would kinda make sense for the five of them to live together, since the twins are supposed to be the Saitous' kids and Ai doesn't want to live away from them.

But at the same time, a young idol living with her male boss would be radioactive optics. At worst, it could spiral into a scandal that destroys Strawberry Productions and B-Komachi on its own.

At best, it would turn their shared apartment into a papararazzi magnet, which is bad enough without hiding an unrelated nuclear scandal at the same apartment, especially since the twins look enough like Ichigo for people to think they're his kids. And all of that gets so much worse when you remember that Ichigo already has a reputation...

And anyways, Ai gets an apartment that Ichigo calls "your new place," not "our new place". So she obviously lives apart from the Saitous, right?

But they're around a lot. Hardly any apartment scenes before Ai's death are Saitou-free. Sure, part of that is because Ai has more plot-significant conversations with her producer and involuntary babysitter than she does alone with her infant children. Even so, the text we have implies that the Ichigos visit a lot.

And while the optics of a producer living with an idol are radioactive, the optics of regularly visiting her at her personal residence are not much better, even if he brings his wife. And we know the twins live with Ai (since we see them sleeping with her), and that seems like it would fatally wound the narrative that the twins are Miyako's kids if anyone paid enough attention.

EDIT: Also Miyako is working on her laptop in one of the domestic scenes, and that seems like a weird thing to bring with you when you're just visiting an idol working for your husband. Especially when there are a couple small children in the house.

I want to come to a conclusion, but I can't. Every time I try to articulate an arrangement that might work, I think of one of the points against it.

[aquamarine-hoshino]

Since we've met Ai's mother Ayumi in the manga, do you think Ai's grandparents could still be alive? They would be at least 76~77 by now, and her great-grandparents if even alive- would be 97+... Or even Hikaru's?

What do you think? Would they like to meet their great/ great-great-grandkids Aqua and Ruby? (Speaking from experience, since my Moroccan great-grandfather is alive and well at 91 lol).

I must admit that I congratulate you for knowing your own great-grandfather and he is doing well at the age of 91. I am really happy for you and for him that he knows you! This is truly extraordinary happiness!

It would be so nice to meet their grandparents maybe they are still alive. As for the great-grandparents, I think it is unlikely because these are great-grandparents, it's really very rare to be able to meet your great-grandparents, although it's impossible! Still unlikely.

When it comes to grandparents, it is very possible that they are still alive and get to know them, but with great-grandparents… I'm not sure, probably not, there is still a % chance of meeting them, but for me it's unlikely - I have 50/50

It depends on the author and what he wants to reveal about the Hoshino family.Meeting great grandparents would be something new and a really good idea. I haven't seen a series in which great-grandparents could appear, so is an original idea for me.

Hope you like my answer! Thanks for the ask!

sorry to ruin the fun but want is hoshii (subtle difference)

HOWEVER! i finally have the chance to ramble a bit about the hoshino family’s names!

hoshi (星) means star, both in a literal sense and in the meaning of ‘celebrity’, while no (の) is the possesive particle in japanese

therefore hoshi no - 星の (read the same as hoshino, the surname - 星野) means ‘of the stars’ or ‘_ the star’ 

which makes hoshino aqua and hoshino ruby ‘aqua the star’/’aqua of the stars’ and ‘ruby the star’/’ruby of the stars’, same with ai ! with ai you can additionally match it with her name which is read the same as ‘love’, which gives.. ‘love of/from the stars’ / (literally) ‘star’s love’ 

this is also used in mephisto, the anime ending, at the very end ―「さあ星の子たちよ　よくお眠りなさい」which means ‘Oh Children of the Stars, sleep well’ (more or less)

‘hoshi no ko tachi’ - children of the stars, while ‘hoshino ko tachi’ - the hoshino children. it sounds the exact same!

Everyone probably realized this years ago but

Ai = Love

Hoshi =Want

Ai Hoshino = Want Love

[yuseirra]

I got sucked down into this Earth rather than any other planet Because that's where you were So please answer me Vaguely that you need me

It's not enough, I wanna love you, ah, ah I can't think of anything but you Love me, look at me only Oh, I love you down to the marrow

No not yet! Don't go running off somewhere I wanna spin around the star that you are

JUST...why introduce the idea of "gods who don't realize they are gods" if that's never going to be expanded upon?

have lyrics like "I've forgotten who I lived as!" and "creative fall from heaven?"

It'd be such a lost cause to drop hints like this and never follow through on them...

[aihoshiino]

My headcanon for Ai which I would fight the world for is that she has cutesy handwriting but only when she wants. Sometimes her handwriting changes depending on her mood. Other wise in general her handwriting is dogshit and only a level above a doctor's handwriting

ANON YOU'RE SO RIGHT AND I'M INSTALLING THIS ONE FOR MYSELF AS I SPEAK

Given how cute her autograph is, I can picture her practicing sooooo hard to make her handwriting idol cutesy, which comes with the disadvantage of making her write slower because it doesn't come naturally to her. So when she's in a hurry, it just turns into a scrawl...

Aqua can read it pretty easily for Former Doctor Reasons but it's incomprehensible to basically everyone else. Ruby out here having the handwriting equivalent of WHAT ARE YOU TWO FUCKING TALKING ABOUT every time she spends like 5 minutes trying to decipher something Ai wrote and Aqua does it at a glance. A family that bats the tsukkomi hat around like a hot potato...

[penguinkyun]

Ruby...Aqua...I love you

the love was there
