#Kuroko Sato

[jilted-love]

Kuroko assumed that Yusuke treating humans like food supply and casually talking to Hokushin (who eats humans) makes Yusuke more demon than human. But the thing is, Yusuke as a human also had questionable morals. Kurama let a kid die and human Yusuke shrugged it off.

Yusuke was like "oh I hope Kurama is okay". Like bro a kid was manipulated and sacrificed. Could you act guilty at least? He also killed the human doctor and was like "damn, got no choice tho". He will save a kid from the street or from an Oni but also shrug off the child who died because they were trying to save the world.

Yusuke's morality is consistent whether he's human or demon. And by that I mean he doesn't always try to do the right thing even as he's also aligned with more good than evil. Togashi's protagonists cannot be boxed into what's typically expected from heroic main characters.

[hoodedcrowart]

I finished Taishō Adventures today, so I drew Kuroko!

One summer, you had a supernatural encounter on a mountain trail. Here’s what happened after. [Your first person perspective.] 

At long last, I have finally gotten around to this! It’s an illustrated sequel to the interactive fanfic (IF)/illustrated text game, A Meeting in the Mountains. It’s about a chance encounter that takes place the night Yusuke met the First Spirit Detective… between Hokushin and “you” (the OC Reader)! 

This story will not make much sense without having read/played A Meeting in the Mountains.

For the character bingo:

- kagami or kuroko

- haizaki (predictable, I know)

- takao

- OC of your choice

Hope its not too much 🩶

I've got Kuroko here, so let's have Kagami first. ❤️

I only think about Kagami like a fraction of a fraction less than Kuroko. He's the deuteragonist stretching the category to a breaking point. (Still, in my fic, you know.) But I think I'm more biased about Kagami than Kuroko, even if that may seem surprising, I think I'm more likely to gloss over his faults. I do think I'm pretty fair, though, but I might make some allowances for Kagami. Perhaps because he seems so much like he's always doing his best and not knowing what he's doing very well, and that somehow always gets my sympathies.

Haizaki

By fanon I just mean you here! Because there was no "blorbo by proxy" option I had to make do. I only don't care about Haizaki in my story, I do care about him and like him when you talk about him, almost as if he has begun to exist in my world as your version, separate from my storylines but existing somewhere. I know it makes no actual sense since some of our worlds contradict each other but I like your version of him the best.

Takao

Takao is probably another one I might be a bit biased in favour of. That's probably only because I haven't really explored the deepest depths of his character, I only put him in a romcom which did also explore a sadder, more pessimistic side to him, but I still tend to think of him as the sensible one, so I could definitely still learn a lot about him.

We have talked about the girls so much lately that I'm going to choose Sato Aki for this one, who (for those who haven't listened to me talk about my OCs) despite the name, is a guy, an OC I came up with when Seirin needed more new blood.

I am not literally the only one who knows anything about him, but... I doubt anyone else has thought about him deeply enough to do a character analysis, though he does seem to be one of the best liked OCs of mine (someone even called him best boy Sato!) and I must say I am deeply attached to him and he's one of the top three most developed OCs I have in my fics. (I would want to shake him by his shoulders if he was real, lol.) He has pretty much endless social energy and kinda underestimates how much he gives to others by his sunny and encouraging attitude, so someone should hug him for a change, just because he would simply forget to ask and take a long time before he would realise why he's lonely.

Thanks for the ask. 🩵

Old art #26: More KnB OCs

I reposted some of my girl OCs with more description some time ago, so here are a couple of other characters too who I like to give attention.

Here's Bailey, who still lacks a surname. They were born because I remembered I had made some random sidenote about Kagami's old middle school crush from America, and at some point I realised it would serve the plot well to turn that thought into an actual character. (Like about 600 000 words afterwards.) Not the least because I do like to give people non-basketball related friends. (My fic series isn't called The Other Things for nothing.)

Bailey has existed in the background for longer than I've actually had a chance to write them. It was relevant that they would naturally seem like the kind of person Kagami would get attached to, so I wanted Bailey to have some traits that resemble Kuroko and some that resemble Himuro, but in a way that it wouldn't be obvious exactly how. That was just the general air I wanted to give, and I didn't know much else about Bailey until I got to write them, and in that short while I discovered some more things, like that they want to study orthotics and they are agender.

They are easy-going, don't like to make things too complicated, and approach most things with a twinkle in their eye. They can be quite goofy but in a chill, introverted way: they don't so much express it with their face or body, but in things like funny stories and doodles. They don't have very intense feelings, but they are kind of jealous of people who do, because they would like to experience things like world-shattering hate towards someone, or falling madly and suddenly in love. It's like they are unable to be consumed by things, and it leaves them a little dissatisfied.

Then we have Sato Aki, who is a twin brother of Mika who was introduced in the other post. Aki was born to fill several things I wanted in the story. Most notably I wanted 1) Finnish characters, 2) someone who could bond with Kagami about living elsewhere a long time, 3) someone to succeed Izuki in making weird jokes, and 4) a trans guy in the team.

I always feel like I have to explain the name thing: Sato twins have goofy parents (Finnish dad and Japanese mom) who, at the time they were still under the assumption that they had twin girls, thought it would be so funny to give them Japanese girl names which are boy names in Finnish, and cause confusion in everyone. (They lived in Finland until the twins were 16.) So, growing up, Aki was thrilled, Mika not so much. Out of solidarity to his sister who grew up with the "wrong" kind of name for their entire lives, Aki was prepared to be the one to bear it once they moved to Japan. The surname is also not their mom's but their dad's name, and it means crop/harvest in Finnish. Conveniently, it's also a very common Japanese name. Yes, I really wanted a chance to toy with names because there are so many that Finnish and Japanese share, but mostly the connotations are entirely different.

Aki is very extroverted, sociable, likes to do things for the heck of it, and can be very ruthless about pushing people when he thinks they need it, for the better and worse. He's definitely a team player, but he has a very low tendency for co-dependency. Everyone has their weak spots of course, but in general he's very difficult to manipulate emotionally. Your drama is not his drama, in a healthy way. He's caring, but he knows where the line goes and doesn't get emotionally invested where he shouldn't. He's very verbally talented and a great debater. Doesn't necessarily come off as a nerd, but he's into video games and books with a lot of lore. When really pissed off, he can be surprisingly cold, even cruel, and he doesn't shy away from using violence when needed, but it's calculated, not an outburst. He's not one to easily lose control. However, the verbal thing takes him far and always comes before fists. He is very rational, but can be too quick to jump into conclusions about people because he relies on his own judgement so strongly.

I have more new guys at Seirin, but I haven't drawn them, and they aren't nearly as significant to the story, so for now my OC introductions end here.
