#WHY THEY MAKE HIM SO FINE IN THE MANGA?????!! 😩

[blackberryhexee]

Kato from the astro boy manga of the 2003 anime PLEASE SAVE ME😩🫦

[tamelee]

Hi, what do you think sets SNS apart from other ships? I like lots of ships but after a time I kind of forget about them or don't care as much but I could never fully stop thinking about SNS. Funny it's not even an explicitly "cannon" ship as others.

Yeah, same for me! 😩

Because they are canon.

Well, fine. Technically, they are not considered canon due to a detached sequel that attempts to redefine their relationships. Now it’s canon that they’re married to women they’ve never felt love for, and some executive's niece wrote a trash novel to try and make it seem the original author had it all wrong, or they change the narrative for convenience sake. It's similar to following a recipe to bake bread, only to have someone mislabel it as an inflatable bike for funsies and profit.

But think about it: what about SNS is not canon?

Their bond, their journey, and everything that led up to that moment of reconciliation and hope is in fact explicitly canon. Both in text and sub-text. And if we’re talking romance specifically, the action shown in Kishimoto’s Manga and sacrifices they make for each other, go way beyond the mere declaration of “I love you." Many  things Naruto and Sasuke said to each other go hand in hand with an ‘I love you’ anyway—mutually.

It’s funnier knowing that Kishimoto did use such spoken, explicit declarations of “I love you” only with the intention to mock it or show how one-sided it was. That such words are rendered meaningless in a world that required these characters to explore what (personal) bonds meant in the first place. Naruto's words in VotE1 didn't yield the desired outcome, leading him to remain mostly silent during VotE2. That’s all with good reason. Alternatively, words are deemed unnecessary as per Naruto's belief that men express emotions without verbalizing, and Sasuke's view that they can understand each other's hearts through their fists. Or how Kishimoto decided to use a single page with no spoken words to show a mutual romance between Konan and Yahiko. Oh, and look at that; Kishimoto does know how to show romance when he wants to. Kushina and Minato didn’t need it; neither did Tsunade and Dan, nor did the romance in Kishimoto’s previous Manga.

We can delve deeper into Naruto's persuasive techniques, like 'talk-no-jutsu,' and question its effectiveness compared to his actions, as he also applied it to himself without significant results, right? Often, the words spoken by these characters didn’t even match how they truly felt anyway. Like Naruto trying to convince himself what's right for the people instead of what he wanted, or Sasuke during the reunion scene. That’s why context is so damn important.

And I could go on and on about this, tbh.

I believe it’s a mixture of their beautiful story as well as the passion to defend the authenticity that is SNS from external pressures like fan interpretations and industry expectations. I think it’s no wonder people go so hard to preserve Kishimoto’s original intent or, on the other hand, to try and disprove it.

For me... I have many ships that I like, but they’re just that: ships. And that’s fine, of course, but there is a difference.

Chapter 1

Comments & Candies

It all started with a comment on the internet. Which to be honest was pretty rare for you to indulge in in the first place. Don’t misunderstand, you had strong opinions about things -especially when some of your favorite characters or shows were involved- but between the trolls online and the way things generally devolved in comment sections it just wasn’t worth raising your blood pressure over anymore. 

It started innocuously enough in some TikTok comments of a Jujutsu Kaisen fight mash up from the current Shibuya Arc. It was one of those videos where the quality is so high you don’t even understand how the user posting found it.

75 Comments

“Dude I fkn hate Mahito he better get left right goodnight next ep”

“lol get ready to be disappointed”

“I mean why mahito kinda…👀”

“get help….” “girlie I’m all for ignoring red flags but that’s a whole red flag factory” "okay but transforming body parts 😩"

You laughed at the comments per usual thumbing up your favorites before going to type your own. This fandom was so unhinged but you loved it. These comments were tame compared to what you would see on the average JJK thirst trap video.

“Gege is the worst curse 😭” 

You hit enter with a small smile before immediately scrolling through a few more TikToks. Your timeline was currently Jujutsu Hell. Just about every TikTok was JJK related and while you adored the show (maybe a little too much) you were feeling a little bummed out by it lately. 

Season one had become your ultimate comfort anime. It was endearing, funny, heartwarming and all the characters meshed so well. It made you feel like a part of their family -albeit a very hot family where you thirsted over about 90% of the cast-. 

Sure the Junpei arc in season 1 broke your heart but it was a manageable amount of sadness. The movie was much the same; a little sad but overwhelming the good guys win and the family is together at the end. Then came Shibuya and all hell broke loose. Gege made you fall in love with Suguru Geto despite knowing that wasn’t going to end well. Your sweet baby Yuji was tortured relentlessly physically and mentally. Then he put your man Gojo in an eyeball box before he killed off a bunch of beloved characters. You were honestly starting to feel depressed. It sounds dramatic but you really loved these characters and it felt like Gege was torturing them for the hell of it. Character deaths were fine with a literary purpose but it was beginning to feel cruel.

Your mood dipped with your thoughts as you decided to close the app down. Before you could flick it shut a notification popped up at the top of your screen showing someone had responded to your comment. You clicked it to see the bigger thread.

“Yuji had to watch these ppl die to grow as a character”

You screwed up your face into an affronted expression. You had a tendency of wearing your thoughts on your face before managing to school them. Something that had gotten you in trouble more than once. Thankfully, in your own home that wasn’t an issue. 

“Not really relevant to my comment..” you mumbled while typing a response. “But I’ll bite”

“Killing off characters just to make another one grow is the easy way out. Yuji is a kid. Torturing him senselessly isn’t making him grow, it's making him traumatized.”

Before you could even click away another comment popped up below yours 

“U think u could do any better?”

You rolled your eyes at the comment. You loved Gege’s work, the universe and characters he created were amazing; but that didn’t mean you had to agree with every decision he made as an author. This is why you didn’t bother to leave comments. You hated having to justify yourself to random people on the internet. You contemplated deleting your original comment before you typed 

“I mean I could get to the same places plot wise and emotionally without murdering everyone the audience cares about..” Before the guy could respond again you hit the phones off button to put it to sleep and threw it across your bed. You hated that your emotions tended to get involved in things as tiny as internet comments or tv shows.

You huffed into your sheets before mumbling, “If I was there I’d end up being an annoying Shonen protagonist…”  you smiled thinking of the way Naruto relentlessly chased down Sasuke or Luffy refused to leave his Nakama behind. Rolling over you lay on your back staring at the ceiling grinning, “Suguru Geto you aren’t escaping the power of friendship buddy! I would drag your monkey hating ass back kicking and screaming. Hell, I’m saving Yu Haibara first, sending Geto to therapy, and taking Nanami to a freaking hair salon. Emo looking…” you laugh out loud before your reverie is interrupted by the screeching of your phone's alarm. 

Your mood is forced to instantly sober, “I’m pathetic..” you muttered. Knowing in the back of your head you had to get ready for another day at your mediocre job with your shitty coworkers. And for what? To come home and be sad that the gorgeous pixelated men on the other side of the screen were getting knocked off by their God Gege (who you just decided to dub God-Ge).

After rubbing a hand over the bridge of your nose you tried to muster the energy to get up and get shit done. Raising up one hand towards the ceiling and making a fist you yelled, “Alright God-Ge you dick just you wait till I get Isekaied! Not one of my boys is dying and I all my babies are gonna grow up loved as fuck!!”

~~

That was the last thing you remembered and what brought you to the here and now. Where ever here and now was… you were disoriented to say the least. You went from laying in bed to your body standing. White and red lights were flashing by with a blustery wind shaking you and rattling your clothes. Despite the confusion you registered that you were moving but not with any sense of purpose or even of your own volition. You were submerged in a crowd; bodies flowing around you pushing your stumbling form along.  You were in sensory overload; the sound of racing vehicles, people talking, advertisements ringing. The lights flickering around you were blurred and the voices surrounding you were unintelligible. 

You felt as if you broke through to the air from a lake in the middle of winter. Your mind was having trouble forming full thoughts. The information it was receiving was partial and you felt goosebumps break out down your arms as you felt a shiver go down your body. You noticed a ringing in your head as it gradually grew louder in volume. The tinnitus like sound became unbearable as you hunched over putting your hands over your ears. Your posture was protective as you just hoped the overwhelming feelings would-

The ringing stopped. The sounds around you clarified and your vision seemed to return to normal. It felt as if someone had thrown you a life preserver in frigid waters and you gasped at the sudden shift in physical sensations.

Something was grounding you. This warmth spread throughout your body and a wave of reassurance engulfed you. Still bent over with your hands on your knees you registered a hand on your upper back near your shoulder. The touch, warm and light, rubs a gentle circle only partially putting its weight on you. You aren’t the type of person to want to be touched by strangers but the person barely holding you relays comfort and reassurance. Their form was removed enough to show concern while not intruding on your space or coming off as disrespectful. 

“Hey are you okay? You don’t look so good..” the voice was masculine but had this buoyancy and brightness to it. The energy behind it non-threatening and almost inviting. You squeezed your eyes shut trying to regain some baseline of where you are. You registered the sidewalk under your feet and your familiar pair of shoes. It had to be nighttime based on the level of light surrounding you. It wasn’t dark but the only thing illuminating your feet was colorful artificial rays. 

The hand on your back left taking its warmth with it. Your eyes flicked up to meet a pair of brown orbs with flecks of gold. The person's face peering down at you was so close to your own your noses almost brushed when you looked up. Your voice caught in your throat as you choked in surprise at the handsome features directly in front of you. His brown eyes were framed with long dark lashes. The first thought that left your mind was he’s beautiful before a heat raced down your stomach. 

At your noses almost touching, he stood up quickly from stooping to get a better look at you. He must have seen something in your eyes that clearly concerned him as both of his arms reached out to steady you on either side of your shoulders. His fingers flexed lightly on your upper arms as he maintained a firm but gentle hold, “Hey I’ve got ya, let’s move over out of the walkway.” The voice sounded like how someone would coax an animal out of a hiding place. It generated a sense of security despite the confusion all around you. 

You leaned up to your full height, the hands on your arms providing support in the event you needed it. You fought past a wave of dizziness as your gaze followed his legs on their way to meet his eyes. He was tall, almost two heads taller than you. His face now turned away from yours as it scanned above the crowd for a destination. His hair was the same honey brown color as his eyes. The style boyish, straight and short; stopping above the ears before ending in an undercut. The bangs were untamed like he had run his hands through them one time too many.  

“Hmmmm, umm…there’s gotta be a seat somewhere..” he mumbled to himself aloud. You tried to focus on his words but felt your form stiffen as you were bumped by the throng brushing by you, intent on where they were heading. When he spoke his voice tickled the back of your brain, a sense of familiarity rolling over you. You couldn’t help but focus on the sensation of his hands on your shoulders. 

He visibly perked up as he seemed to have found what he was looking for before he glanced back over to you. He smiled brightly, making eye contact that made you feel a blush on your face in response. He released your arms briefly before a large warm hand reached out and clasped your smaller one before navigating you towards a less dense part of the horde. “So I don’t lose you.” he explained lightheartedly over his shoulder. His grip was soft despite the roughness of his own hands. You felt yourself rub against him reflexively tracing one of his calloused fingers with your own. 

Your own emotions and feelings in your present situation baffled you. You were not some maiden needing saving nor some naive girl who would tag up with a random man. You watched way too much true crime to ever take a strange man’s hand and follow them into a side street no matter how attractive they were. However, rather than your intuition screaming for you to pull your hand away and run, it remained quiet. You had never believed in aura, chakra, energy or whatever but it was like you could sense his and it gave you only positive vibes. 

Nothing made sense. A moment ago you were laying in bed on TikTok and now you were in the middle of a massive metropolitan area (you lived hours away from one) in the middle of a crowd with a guy you vaguely felt like you knew pulling you to God knows where?

Swallowing hard, you stumbled behind the larger male his broad back and strong shoulders taking up the majority of your view. You shadowed him closely so that you wouldn’t become separated. This was working fine until he abruptly stopped; someone cutting in front of you both with a bicycle. You tripped forward into his back, your fingers gripping tightly into his black crop top style jacket for support. A soft cry of surprise escaping your lips. He froze letting you regain your balance as you leaned against him fully. His back clearly muscled against your forearms and hands. “I’m sorry” you stammered out letting go once you reoriented yourself. The guy leading turned slightly towards you before readjusting your hand in his making sure not to let go. “N-no worries, one minute and we're there...” he announced in a soothing tone despite an outbreak of red flushing the top of his ears and the little bit of cheek you could see. 

True to his word less than a minute passed before there was a gap in the crowds and you both emerged into a smaller offshoot of the main walkway. You must be between stores where the garbage and back employee stairs were situated because the area was pretty empty opposed to the sidewalk not five feet away. The familiar individual in front of you released your hand and began digging in his jacket pockets now. Below the jacket was a simple white t-shirt followed by formal black pants. The t-shirt was snug not leaving much to the imagination as you felt yourself swallow hard. Part of his tongue popped out in the corner of his mouth as he kept searching for something. Your mind immediately goes, cute, at the small pink muscle wedged in the corner of his lips. “Miss, do you prefer sweet or salty food?” He formally inquired looking up with a smile. He managed to fish out some candies from his pockets alongside what looked like a few candy wrappers and some pocket lint. 

You blinked at the unappetizing handful  in his outstretched hand before studying his face again. It was driving you crazy how familiar he looked. Though another part of you couldn’t help but assert you wouldn’t forget a face this attractive and boyish.  A lazy smile graced his face as he looked you in the eyes holding forward his hand of proffered treasures. The way he expectantly looked at you reminded you instantly of a golden retriever. He was convinced that his outstretched handful would solve whatever issue made you double over in the street. “I bet it’s low blood sugar! My grandma has to deal with that so I got in the habit of carrying around a couple of candies in case she needs a little boost!” He gave a short laugh before reaching back to scratch his head with his free hand “but to be totally honest I usually end up eating it all and it’s really more of an excuse to keep candies on hand all the time…” he paused clearly still waiting for you to take one of the brightly wrapped sweets. His expression clearly reflecting that he could never imagine you not wanting one of the slightly melted goodies.

“Oh…okay, thank you?” Your response came out as more of a question then you intended as you glanced down and bridged your hand half way between you two before pausing. The wrappings were unfamiliar and you had no idea what exactly you were taking. A sarcastic voice in your head couldn’t help but quip, Good idea let's take candy from the stranger now that you’ve followed him into an alley.

He watched you, his smile never fading as you glanced up to make eye contact again a small furrow of confusion on your brow. He looked down at his own hand before exclaiming, “Oh! Right so this one is a little sour it’s got like a tangy…” the older teen continued to ramble on. His voice faded into the background as your brain went 100 miles per hour trying to catch up to everything happening. You definitely knew this guy. Was he a coworker's friend? That didn’t explain how the hell you ended up in a city. His candy spiel apparently ended as he looked up at you tilting his head to the side slightly. 

A light bulb suddenly went off in your head as you exclaimed out loudly pointing as if you had the answer to a game of Pictionary. “Yu! Haibara Yu!” 

Chapter 2

[akkivee]

stage dh……………….. them………………:

*inhales*

*exhales* aramaki-san was such a legendary sasara lmao

i remember reading some interview with hirono-san where he mentioned aramaki-san has a princely appeal and he does lol and it bleeds into his sasara

but the way it bled into his sasara made him the most intimidating version of sasara no cap lmao

aramaki-san’s sasara in the early stage was formed primarily bc of a lack of material for nagosaka at the time, so all he really had was the first dh drama track, where sasara’s two faced personality was his introduction, and the tdd manga, where he rolled with samatoki so i understand how it happened lol

LOL AND YOU KNOW WHERE I THINK THAT CHANGED

his and iwasaki-san’s cross talk i firmly believe rewired how he functioned as sasara’s actor LMAO

iwasaki-san is him lol he is very much so sasara and joked his entire way thru that cross talk and while aramaki-san won the competition part of the cross talk, he said he felt like he lost by being serious LOL

his sasara is still a bit scary but it definitely lightened up by dh vs bb lmao and sometimes that starts by coming into every rehearsal session and roping your character’s partner into freestyling manzai to set the mood lol

that dedication is insane lmao

i find it absolutely hilarious aramaki-san claims to have fallen asleep listening to recordings of satonaka-san’s voice to perfect his osaka accent LOL

it’s gotta be like a requirement for sasara actors to be down bad for rosho this man really out here describing sasara’s solo as courtly love 😭😭😭

the stage is so fun lmao rosho and sasara’s confrontation in canon was plenty dramatic but holy FCK did the stage ramp it up they were both crying and screaming throughout that fallout and subsequent reconciliation and that’s Theatre lmao

fills me with so much rage having palpable proof these actors were still exploring and finding new ways to portray the characters bro like during one of the dh rep live shows, aramaki-san wound up missing his cue and laughed his way thru his apology and catching up with the song

except he clearly recognised he kinda cooked actually so come bop2023 he started rapping with that laughing quality THATS SO SICK ITS COOL TO LISTEN TO LOL

still crying over that bop2023 manzai dh did together lol the references to classic sasara manzai and past stage hijinks and the nods to the oridivi and ddb 🥺🥺🥺

ohhhhh speaking of bob2023 i loooove the sasasama duet performance he and alan-san did

like nvm aramaki-san proving exactly why that song should have been a real performance this entire time lol the stage direction between the nb and mcd duets directly contrasted each other 😩👌

throughout the nb duet kuukou was tactile with ichiro; he playfully kicked him, ruffled his hair, shared a coke etc. but not once did sasara or samatoki meet in theirs; they kept circling each other on that stage and it was symbolic of what was real (ichiro’s memories of kuukou) vs what wasn’t (samatoki dreaming of sasara) AND ITS GREAT MAN

is satonaka-san not a ridiculously handsome rosho lmao

it’s so neat he’s such a cool rosho to play off of the cool sasara

shoutout to the stage for making rosho really intolerant towards sasara’s bullshit in dh vs bb lol it had been a nitpick of mine that rosho was a little too passive in track 3 but they heard my pleas (they did not lol) and said rosho isn’t some bum to be walked over

god that whole thing where sasara manipulates ichiro into fighting rosho and rosho!!!!!!!! let’s ichiro know he’s his own person and not a stepping stone towards sasara!!!!!!! AND THEN!!!!!!! blows up on sasara for orchestrating it and being a massive heel towards them both

FINE ART MAN THE FINEST I LOVE STAGE ROSHO LOL

i also live for sasara and the ddb crew bullying him for sasara’s tv show in that play lol i’m sorry rosho was created to suffer by the hands of sasara and anyone who knows rosho is easy to prank LOL

i like both our rei actors!!!!! what i miss about higashiyama-san’s rei is his singing (his rei was intense lol) and the way he started moving with a quasi body roll and moved hips first LOL

i felt a little bad watching him tho lol like sometimes he looked a little lost and i wouldn’t be surprised if the man just couldn’t see with those shades lmao

gomoto-san sure flipped the script with his rei lol!!!!!

from the beginning, he said higashiyama-san’s rei leaned heavily into the mystery aspect of rei and aimed to incorporate more of his comedic value and he did exactly that lol!!!!!

shoutout to dh’s rep live skit specifically LOL

i always think about him deciding to call his fans ‘nezumi-chan’ and the way he really didn’t expect it to take off so when the crowd lost their shit he told was like ‘oh y’all are really weird okay’ LOL

[m1ckeyb3rry]

loool Kaneshiro's like okay imma give Anri and that's it. But also surround the boys with wonderful females and leave the rest in the hands of fanfic writers to explore it. I just have a strong feeling that yes, maybe, maybe maybe Karasu could be in a relationship with Marisa after Blue Lock or something like that. It's a yes and no. The probability game in this anime/manga is just too real it's unlocking other multiverses lol

Also, I still could not get over your My Best Friend's Brother fic to this day. I found myself listening to that song that I sent you more. SO YES, you are in my head, Mira 😂

Honestly, i would go on a date with Otoya just to "check him out". I can soooo imagine Karasu wanting to move out and leave him by himself because of his bullshit 😂

NGL I think it's a standard now to sneak in a cameo of another character because they're duos or trios XD

AND YES SERIOUSLY, I clearly said it as day that I won't fall for anyone in Blue Lock. My brother kept asking me daily when I started the anime, "so what do you think of so and so (as in Isagi, Bachira and Chigiri)" couldn't give him a straight answer until I concluded, there are many likeable and fine men in Blue Lock. He told warned me about Kaiser and Yukimiya, but he did not see my ass falling hard for Karasu. Now I think my caller ID name on his phone is Karasu Lover (as it should HAHAHAHAH)

HAHA no fr and tbh he barely explores anri?? plus like she’s literally ego’s boss why is she being treated like that 😐 as well as the way the jfu men talk abt her in the manga…look i get that there’s “in universe” reasons for it BUT the author is the one who makes the universe yk?? she’s only 22 (so only three years older than aiku and kaiser) it would’ve been just as easy for the jfu people to view her as an inexperienced kid and not take her seriously for that instead of constantly commenting/focusing on her chest 😰 UGH sorry i could rant abt it for so long the way anri is treated in the manga annoys me so much that i’m actually glad there aren’t rlly any other female characters no matter how pretty the art style is because i do NOT trust how well they would be written 😔💔

tbh i think karasu is the only one set up to have a female love interest post bllk if the author decides to go that route but honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to take a 0 romance approach 🤔 that’s kind of the vibe i’ve been getting from the manga so far!! like everything is just left up to reader interpretation instead of explicitly made canon

LMAOOOO best friend’s brother karasu version is so dear to me i can’t believe it ended up so long but i had sm fun writing it!! glad to be in your head hehehe it’s my goal in life to mess with my readers 😏

no fr i think i would go on one date with otoya just for shits and giggles LMAOO honestly as long as you don’t take him too seriously he would be sm fun to just hang out with and be casual abt!! and he’s gone on so many dates he definitely knows how to plan a really good one 🤩 SOMEONE SAVE KARASU FR that poor boy 😔 otoya should’ve been roommates with aiku or smth…let karasu stay with yukimiya that’s the only way my man is staying sane

LMAOO no because you never expect karasu!! he comes out of nowhere and you’re just stuck with him no matter what 😵‍💫 truly an assassin in that sense FJDKDJSK i even started blue lock because of a rin edit i saw on tik tok (i was v against sports animanga beforehand because i thought they would be boring) and i just don’t really care abt him anymore 😩 part of it is also my mindset it’s like impossible for me to like popular characters fsr…i NEED them to be random side characters (nagi is pushing it) or i’m just incapable of writing them!!

[millenialfanfictionaddiction]

Hellooo mom ✌

So like very random question, but who are your top 5 fave characters in BHNA??

I'm currently into a lot of animes at the moment and BHNA is one of em 🤧

Okay so here are mine ✊

my opinions may of course be different, so if someone disagrees with me it's fine!! Besides everyone's opinion is different and matters 🙌

So first would probably be 👇 him

Bakugou bc why not 😍 so like at the start of the show bakugou kinda pissed me off bc he bullied deku 😔 I mean who doesn't hate bullies ✋

Until of course the series progressed and every time baku went on screen something would always make me smile 😭

I had no idea wth was going on until I realized 💀 "holy crap it's bakugou, I LIKE BAKUGOU- 😀" my brother was dialing the hospital bc I was going crazy /j

And up until this day I still like boom-boom boy 💅 besides how can someone be so hot and cute at the same time like right??

Not to mention I relate with him a lot 👌 my parents still don't get why I like him though HAHA

Second is no doubt 👇 her ✨

Like I love girls who connect with music and jirou clearly caught my eyes 👀

She's super cute too!! I can also relate with her bc she expresses some of her feelings through music ✨

When I started watching I fell for her on the spot 📍 bro she was my first waifu in BHNA 😭

But ngl, who doesn't love kyouka?? SHE'S SO PRETTY PLEASE-

Third place 👇 this cutie

Listen listen I know she's so underrated but I can't see her and not go "MARRY ME" 😭

Like jirou she's really cute to me!! I really like her quirk too, I used to have an obsession with mushrooms 🤧

And her voice.. It's too cute for me sjshsjsjhjsj

Love kinoko for clear skin 🥺

Fourth place 👇 him, HIM HIM HIM

Please don't come for me ✋😔 I have a thing for the Blondies with the sarcastic asses 💀

Okay like baku I didn't like him a first either, in fact I found him f-ing annoying 😭

I mean who doesn't, monoma's attitude is a pain in the ass 😒 well until I read some fanfics and did some info digging... 😔

Yep, I'm hooked to him now.

He looks cute too 😩 You can't tell me you didn't find him cute at least once

Another scenario of "how can he be so cute and hot at the same time" 💀

Fifth place 👇 you can't say no to him..I think

Atsuhiro sako 😩 marry me sir 💍

Basically it was that one manga panel that made me trip on myself then get up then trip again 🤦‍♀️

THIS ONE 👆 this was the one bro 😍

But besides that, I also like his voice 👌 ngl the fanfics about him are the bomb, like literally 😳

But alas, they are not real and we cannot have them 😔

BUT HEY!! thank you for listening to me talk 💁‍♀️ no one wants to listen to me being like that except for my bestie haha 😭

The characters are somewhat random but those 5 are my current "pls marry me" characters y'know?? And bro I had to put 1-b in there 🥺

Besides anyone in 1-B is going to catch my interest, because they're my fave class 🙌 No one come for me but I see smth in them which some don't, class 1-b supremacy 🛐

But wbu mom?? Hope this wasn't too long to read 😅

I freaking love all all of these! My Hero has so many good characters! I wish they gave some of the female characters more storyline and screen time tho.

Ok so it won't let me post with gifs 😑

1) Bakugo

2) Fatgum

3) Kirishima

4) Overhaul

5) Freaking All Might 🥰

[misc-headcanons]

hi! I saw that you write for dorohedoro, so could I request some cuddly hcs with a soft Kaiman and a gender neutral reader? Maybe a lazy morning or during a rainy day. I’d love to hug him and smooch him 😩.I’ll love everything you come up to! thank u xxx

(Aaaa ty! Jsyk I'm a filthy anime-only at the moment so apologies if these don't quite gel with manga!Kaiman lol)

He's initially a little apprehensive of cuddling in bed with his s/o, just because he's worried about accidentally impaling them with the spines on the back of his head while tossing and turning in his sleep. His s/o may have to take baby steps before finally sleeping in bed with him: leaning against his shoulder, cuddling on a couch, resting in his lap, etc.

Prior to when he feels comfortable trying to sleep in bed with s/o without risk of impaling them on accident, he insists on letting them sleep in his bed whenever they come over. He'll either rest on a couch in his place or just put his pillow on the floor while letting his s/o borrow another one (he doesn't want them sleeping on his, since it's got quite a few holes).

Quite a few people in the neighborhood have thought he and Nikaido were a couple. He doesn't want his s/o to get the wrong idea, so he'd make SURE they know that she's his friend and nothing else. He may actually try to overcompensate for this by acting extra sweet and affectionate whenever the two of them are at Nikaido's restaurant. Nikaido personally thinks it's cute, but she can tell if ____ is getting a little overwhelmed by the barrage of PDA and will tell Kaiman to lay off a little bit.

He's not a wealthy guy, even by the standards of the mostly poor and bedraggled members of that side of that world. Most of their dates together would be hanging out at home, exploring the nicer and more secluded areas of the city, watching him play baseball with the rest of the team (he gets very blushy and pumped-up when they cheer for him), and of course eating at Nikaido's place.

He'd always wonder why ____ is with him, just because he's very aware of how...different he looks from most people. He was fine with not having anyone be attracted to him, at least until he found the guy who turned his head into a lizard's and got it fixed. It's not like he feels as if being single is a big problem, since he's got Nikaido and other friends around. But then ____ comes along and is actually into him, lizard head and all, and he almost can't believe it! That lingering bit of insecurity and doubt about if ____ is really attracted to him stays in the back of his head sometimes, but his s/o is always there to tell him to shut his stupid handsome face and accept that they think he's the only one they'd ever want to be with!

Hello hello Sofia! 🎄

Sorry for letting a whole week pass, been so swamped lately. 😩 But how are you?! 

Omg, I only know winter holidays so it's always cool when I meet people from the southern hemisphere ^^ since the Christmas vibe is so different I imagine. 😅 The beach sound lovely!! How do you like to spend your day there?

And GOOD LUCK on your exams!! If I may ask, what do you study? 😄

Ooo very nice!! I watch more than I read but I also like all of the ones you mentioned in the first list except Jibaku I haven't seen! I also like JJK and KNY...and lmao same with CSM. Violet Evergarden is very pretty!! And a heart warming story, I think you'll enjoy it a lot!

So, what makes your favorite characters your favorites? Like what traits or what happens that make you think *oh yes this is the one*? 😆

Have a great week and be back soon ;3

Hi, Santa!! 💞 Please don't worry about it, I've also been super busy too!! It's the time of the year I guess 😔

Yeah Christmas here is defs very different, it's fun tho but also I feel like people are more focused on complaining about the hot weather than actually celebrating anything lmao as a kid I watched Christmas TV specials and thought the snow was much more dreamy

Oh I love the beach!! All my family does so I guess it's inherited heheh I mostly like swimming a little, watching the sunset and reading a book with the sound of the sea in the background <3 Now that I've talked about it, I really want to be there rn...

THANK YOU!! I really need it 😅 I'm a literature/english student, not the most difficult career out there but it still has its quirks. I do have a couple of scary finals next week which have made me succumb to academic stress, I can't wait for this to be over, really

Oh thanks for the recommendation, I'll def watch Violet now 💕 if you ever want to start jibaku shounen hanako-kun I would highly recommend reading the manga instead!! The anime is fine but it changes the order of some arcs and it's way too short lol

Hmmm, I'll try to answer that question as best as I can. There are certain characters that I simply find cute or endearing (like Nene or Yamaguchi from Haikyuu, who I think I forgot to mention last time). But when it comes to others I just think it has to do with a good balance of good traits and flaws. I tend to gravitate towards characters who are wholesome but also have much more to give if you see through them!

Alphonse for example (feeling obligated to mention him as he is my literal url) is a kind hearted and loyal kid, but he also has many fears, insecurities and even selfish moments throughout the show. I don't know if you watched/read FMA so I'm trying not to say anything with spoilers :p There's a couple scenes of him that never fail to pull my heartstrings, he's just very well written overall

Talking about shounen, I also like shounen protags that subvert expectations. Gon is a cute adventurous child at first sight but the more you advance with the plot the more you notice some serious flaws that make him so fascinatingly complex!! He's just a little fucked up and I love him for that.

There's also Rin Okumura, a character I've loved for so long (+10 years) that it's difficult to explain why. He also looks like a typical shounen protag at the start but he's also such a ray of sunshine and a brat at the same time! He deeply cares about his loved ones and goes through so much development. A greatly written teen character overall :')

Well I'll stop here bc it has gotten too long lol but I could talk about this all day

Hope you have a great week too dear <3 see you soon!!

@interstellarshipwreck THIS IS AMAZING !!!! <333 You really poured your efforts in making sure that Sofia's backstory is historically accurate to specific points of time! The bends in canon is totally fine - you're so right, if Noda can bend actual history for his manga, why can't we do it as well? 😤 (I totally cracked up at "...this is the show that Made The Protag's Dad Kill the Czar) /lh

I love how you made her Jewish /gen I totally agree with your logic of how being Jewish would make her more sympathetic to Wilk and Kiroranke's cause for the ethnic minorities and I love the personal touch since you're also Jewish! I personally appreciate those that add personal touches to their headcanons/OCs <3

Sofia being a rebel ever since it's SO ON POINT !!!! Her wanting to make the lives of other people better... it's so noble, even though she has to dirty her hands to do them. But what's admirable about her is that she doesn't care about herself because her focus is on the welfare of others.

THE "CORRUPTING" RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOCAL RABBI'S DAUGHTER SNATCHED ME 😩😩😩/POS I love this little detail so so much, it made me grin so hard!!! <33

THE PART WITH THE BOYS WITH THE PIPE !!!! To add, I love how your idea of how the three met went - Sofia diving fists first (she was ready to throw some hands) until she realizes there's something fishy about these "spies". I think that's a good event to flesh out her character more! :-D

Kiroranke learning how to make bombs because of Sofia's connections... something about that is poignant for me. A big part of Kiroranke's character is his being a master in explosives. It's touching that something that saved him in the war against Russia, something that served him throughout his journey for the gold came from Sofia... I dunno that's a nice hc that I really like 🥺🫶

Thank you for the meal, I love your hcs so much!!! I love the last part the most: the three of them would follow each other wherever one of them go. I think that's something that's very apparent in the canon, no matter how it got twisted on Kiroranke's end.

Also, just to add, I love how we just both agreed on Sofia being a bad cook HAHA! And for Wilk....actually you know when I thought about it, it would be hilarious if Wilk does have a bad singing voice, but to Kiroranke and Sofia, it's immaculate because (at least for my hc) they both admire and love him HAHA! Love certainly makes us deaf too, in their case!

I'd love to hear more if ever write more about them! <33 Thanks again, love!

research + building a backstory for sofia goldenhand from gk

i don’t know why i like side characters so much but i do, and it’s painful how little we know about sofia. i decided to run with this idea and make her a little backstory instead of writing my cover letter because work is hell. it also got mixed with a bit of infodumping about a special interest of mine, but what can you do?

check it out below the cut.

DISCLAIMER: it’s not the most fleshed out yet, and for it to work (aka to cram a cool piece of historical context in) i had to age kiroranke and wilk up about ten years— so in 1881, they would be 25 instead of 15, making kiro 51 during the series. meanwhile, sofia is 3 years older than them, making her 28 when the tsar is assassinated.

anyway. here’s the backstory, with some slight bending of canon. it’s inspired by some research i did about the historical polyakov brothers’ lives + the narodnik revolutionary movement(s). remember though, im no expert!

born in pinsk, belarus (then russian empire) in 1853. instead of being a noble, she’s the youngest daughter of an upper class jewish merchant family— inspired by the identity of the historical goldenhand. also inspired by me because im jewish, and i think sofia's character and cooperation with wilk & kiro benefits from her having a deep, personal reason to protect fellow minorities.

one of the trades allotted to jews was the production of alcohol because it was seen as rather un-christian work. this meant that jewish people were allowed to corner the market on it, and as such, her father was able to rise to a rather prominent position. not only did he work as a middleman for several distillers and taverns, he practiced tax farming, meaning he collected taxes in a method authorized by the state in exchange for a stipend. her mother held a certain position of value at the largest post office in pinsk. immediately— she had connections to (1) flammable substances like alcohol and (2) pressure-exerting distillery tools for explosive devices, not to mention a source for intel. even if her parents didn’t consent to her abuses of their occupations, she didn’t care. she’d use what little privilege a jew of the pale of settlement could have to help people.

around age 16 or 17, she was sent to odessa. see, until this time, sofia had been on the straight and narrow. piano lessons, classic novels, learning french and so on. her parents were overbearing, so it came as a surprise when they discovered she was hosting a weekly meeting with the more religious women of pinsk— slowly but surely radicalizing them with the pamphlets she scouted for and stole around town. she also may have been in a “corrupting” relationship with the local rabbi’s daughter, but we don’t talk about that.

in odessa, she lived with a distant cousin of hers who was a professor— a solitary, unmarried man. she also attended some kind of preparatory school but hung around novorossiysk university in her free time. surrounded by much more radicalized and well read college students, she gladly joined the narodnik movement. thereafter, she began a clandestine printing shop in the crawl spaces and basements of the university. to the older students, she was almost seen as a feisty younger sister. fiery, and too big for her britches.

in the summer of 1871, with whisperings of a pogrom and the campus gone empty, 18 year old sofia started to use her connections to build a veritable arsenal of weapons in a hidden corner of the university. this is the historical event i wanted to shoehorn in— the unrest and uprising at novorossiysk. and yeah... i did move this back by about ten years. but also this is the show that Made The Protag's Dad Kill The Czar so some bending history is allowed here, alright? it's for plot's sake.

this is also the summer when two strange 15 year old boys stumble off a train after a trip that took, in all likelihood, several weeks and several pit stops. in the dead of night, she finds them in the library with a lantern, pouring over books about the peasant class. who wouldn’t know about the plight of the peasants?! she thinks, only spies! so she knocks them both out and attempts to interrogate them, only for her suspicions to be squashed when the kid with the blue eyes (seriously, they’re the bluest blue she’s ever seen!) can’t speak more than three sentences of russian. the one with the (frankly embarrassing) patchy, teenage beard explains everything. being from sakhalin, being ainu, being radicals. damn near knocks her off of her chair.

(he also offers sofia his pipe, which she takes one puff from before promptly coughing up a lung. the boys— they give their names as yulbars and wilk— get a serious kick out of this “intimidating interrogator” being way more straight laced that she seems... they’ll have to fix that. little did they know how much she would love smoking someday!)

so sofia harshly tutors wilk in russian, and yulbars learns how to make bombs from some of the older students plus a hell of a lot of trial and error. the odessa pogrom of 1871 comes and goes. when it does, sofia finds herself looking to the center of revolutionary work: st petersburg university. with her fathers money, she buys three tickets. doesn’t even ask them. she knows yulbars and wilk will follow her to the ends of the earth. she also knows she’d would do the same for them— and something about that feels right.

omg rimi ur too kind thank you so much! 😭🙏 yes timezones and works rlly sucks fr i’m smh 😔

OMG SAME. for me it’s often when ‘m about to sleep, busy or super tired for some reasons i often got ideas when i’m deep in thoughts and when i’m stressed or tired i often think and worry a lot, also in my sleep so maybe that’s why?? and YES there’s times i got an idea while i’m sleeping but it’s already pretty late so i decided to continue to sleep and tell myself i’ll write it down tmr but the next morning i can’t remember it sobs 😭👹 why in the world ideas must often come in the worse time??? 😩🙁

ikr? my heart went like i’m shookt like what? he he died? no yes? takemitchi can’t save him? why? how? it’s filled with these questions please ToTToTToT ‘m ain’t rlly prepared for his death either, another huge emotional scene i can remember is hina’s future death. oh and also akkun’s, i’m just so shocked it didn’t think they would really die <////3 me too, i just wanna hug ‘em and tell ‘em everything will be alright. (but yes, except kisaki, and for me it’s also hanma —) yes that boy deserves love! and also — do u also read mangas too? if i may ask —

thank you! idk how it’s like for others, but for me it is rlly exhausted. and, even if it’s only wednesday, my science teacher’s already saying we’ll have work on friday. and i’m just sighed no idea qwertyuiopn,, thank you very much still! same for u too bub <33 (FR YES YES WE SHOULD cries 🤧)

hahaha thank you, your kind words really mean a lot. and yes it’s often my style to fin everything first so you can rest and don’t give a damn about anything. some ppl r often confused when they see me doing work i grumble i don’t wanna do it (sometimes cuz i hate it) and when they ask ‘don’t you hate it or r too lazy to do it? then why r u working on it?’ and i’ll just replied, ‘BC i hate it. i need to fin it real quick so i don’t have to do it anymore then i can just go and do whatever i wanna’. (ahh dw bub ‘m sure u’ll manage it out soon!) ooo really? i can’t remember what i said even if i’m the one who said it LMAO and ohhh that’s cool! that’s quite reasonable, ppl have different things to focus / prioritise and musics aren’t necessary to be everyone’s thing anw, also you do sports? :0 that’s amazing!! i’m often to lazy to exercise, plus i hate sports so i almost never tried myself unless it’s p.e. class hahaha —

thank you very much m’love! you too <333

[ STILL CONTAINS TOKYO REV SPOILERS !! ] : more talks with bammie bc i love her (under the cut again <3)

timezones our beloathed </3

the fact i heavily relate to all of what you said makes me really glad i'm not the only one who experiences those. even our thoughts are going through a "right person, wrong time" kind of trope, huh? please, the amount of times i had such nice ideas in my head as i sleep but then forget everything the following day?? fate and timing are ruthless things.

the moment baji was standing and fighting i was like, "maybe he isn't that injured? hopefully?" but then he collapsed and i collapsed with him. the emotional damage is unfixable. hina and akkun's future deaths nooo :( i thought everything was fine and dandy but oh how naïve i was sdkjdfhka. kisaki looks like mammon from obey me and because of my anger towards him, i call him 'mammon wannabe'. hanma, i have mixed feelings towards... neutral grounds with him, but leaning towards dislike? anywho, i haven't read the manga yet but i think i would after i finish demon slayer's manga :0 !

i've heard you have a test today (by the time i'm writing this) </3 and looking at all that you're telling me right now, i'm the one feeling exhausted for you ffff :'0 hope you guys get a health break where it's just a week of breaks or something huhu

i can't believe we have the same mindset woaah !! :0 !!! like, if i hate the work i just look at it and finish it early out of pure hatred towards it haha! sometimes if the project manages to get on too much of my nerves, i have the urge to make the project detailed or pretty out of pure petty spite. i remember hating one of my projects so much that i made it so detailed and passed it early (︶︿︶) there's only one subject i can't do that towards though [it's physics].

i don't know where i saw it?? but i remember you mentioned smth about playing the violin?? :00 ? both our memories are playing with us oh no (ﾟωﾟ；) also yes yes, i do play sports !! ngl i had a whole tsukishima arc with my sport (badminton). i used to do it because i was just "encouraged to" and gave very minimal effort (^^;) but i soon found my love for it and almost even entered a higher level competition for it !! but it does get exhausting (and sweaty...), so i understand where you're coming from !!

have a good day dear <333
