how would you assign style 5 into the 5-man party/band trope?
OOH a fun challenge 😌 the shifting dynamics between the five make it a lil hard to anchor them into the available tropes without inevitable overlap/gaps, BUT it’s interesting to think about it like we did back when we were discussing the RoTG AU: what is at their center, or at the very least, an intriguing lens to interpret their center through?
Although there’s the instinct to try and put Haru in the hero/leader position with Rin as the lancer and foil (that’s a comparison/thread that canon likes to revolve around, which is still fun!), I think it’d be neat to think about the lineup from a slightly different perspective:
The leader/hero: Rei
The lancer: Haru
The brains: Makoto
The brawn: Rin
The heart: Nagisa
Ok hold on HOLD ON let me explain!! Think about how we can view season one (as a launching point) if we take up Haru’s suggestion/wish to not be the main character, and move the lens we’re looking through juuust slightly to shine the light more on Rei’s story. Even though he’s new to the group, newly establishing himself as a swimmer and friend in the existing (corroded, faded) Iwatobi dynamic, his addition is the real catalyst for the story — they can’t move forward until they find a fourth in Rin’s absence/distance, and all of the magic we see unfold happens because of Rei’s spark, his perspective, his journey, all that he is. It doesn’t matter if he’s not the one consciously calling the shots for them all; watching him learn and stumble and get back up and trust and love is what gets everyone else to reflect and react. The ✨main character rei✨ agenda is still alive and kicking in my heart 😮‍💨
SPEAKING OF HEART, let’s talk about that one next!! The “heart” (from what I understand) serves not only as the peacemaker and glue that binds the group together, but a complement to the hero/leader as well. Now, I know that every freakin essay I’ve written about Makoto positions him perfectly as the heart of the group (#the makoto files my beloved). HOWEVER, if we’re shifting this whole band around to have Rei at the helm, the person who stands right next to him and keeps him balanced is the guy who got him into this whole mess. Really, if Rei is the guiding light, then Nagisa is the one who went looking for a match in the first place. At the center of all of his antics is this desire to keep them all bound together, united or reunited as friends and trusted teammates. He’s essential joy — comic relief and chaos are the ways he checks in on and takes care of people, especially in a dynamic that where the guys might be a little hesitant about admitting to their attachments out loud (at first).
Again, although Makoto and Nagisa could be interchangeable in their roles here (heart/brains), I think we could do something fun with slotting Makoto and Rin into the “brains and brawn” duo roles, respectively. Makoto is soft contemplation and careful steps where Rin is hotheaded intensity and dynamic force. As a duo, they bleed into each other — we’ve seen how Makoto can have moments led by passion and power, just as we’ve seen Rin hesitate or rethink his position (and, interestingly enough, the reasons for these shifts can often be linked back to strong push-pull moments involving the other). I think there’s value in acknowledging both their roles as a shared duo and as individuals within the group (as in like, for example, how Makoto’s thinking might change trajectory when with Rei individually versus a situation with all three of them in a room, ykwim? Anywayyy).
Now, the lancer as Haru!! This one!! This is fun because he’s both the ideal and the anomaly for Rei, right? Haru becomes this incomprehensible figure in his line of sight that gradually shifts to be a trusted teammate competing by his side. He’s not a total opposite, but there are distinctions between them, and casting Rei and Haru into the hero/lancer dynamic helps to highlight some of those character differences. Haru is strong in his skillset, but teaching someone else when it felt so natural for him? Getting back into the mind of a impassioned novice with his eyes on a beautiful future, when the only realm Haru dwells in these days to protect himself is the immediate present? That’s a disconnect and distinction that affects how they both individually navigate growing throughout the story. Like, Rei as a character is oriented to what it means to learn and grow in a way that opposes Haru’s habits of staying grounded and honing in on what he already knows and is comfortable with. Yeah, there’s a shared sense of rigidity in rules and routines for both of them (autism boys my beloveds), BUT it manifests and leads them down different paths, and really kinda secures why it’s interesting to frame Rei as the hero here over Haru. Rei’s reliance on theory comes from a love of experimenting and growing and learning, like the truths and beliefs he holds are built on (if not his own work, then what he presumes to be) a long line of trials and errors and rewrites to hone in on an emerging ideal. Haru’s reliance on routine is rooted in preservation and comfort, whether from his own strong immediate/persisting desires or the expectations of others he comes to hold as important to maintain and heavy (like,,, we know Haru talks big game about swimming free and for himself but also has a sense of justice that leads him down all of these instances of performing for other people). That being said, even if Haru isn’t the hero in this proposed dynamic, his position at Rei’s other side (when Nagisa isn’t trying to grip both of Rei’s hands and run into the wilderness or smth) is essential: he gives Rei a way to grow and fight and learn because of his existing swimming prowess. He’s a quiet muse to gleam inspiration from (a puzzle to be solved) and a ticket into the competitive world (pulling weight during relays while Rei builds and builds). And uhh that’s COOL MAN IDK!!!
I think the part I’m struggling to put into words here at the end is just how much these perceived roles can shift around with just a little nudge and reveal even more fascinating details within the story. There are similarities between characters like Rin and Rei (push forward) versus Makoto and Haru (pull back) that make you wonder about those duos in isolation. There’s the idea of changing around even one pair’s positions (like switching Makoto and Nagisa, or even Haru and Rin) that 1) draws attention to those pair’s similarities, and 2) bring into question how that changing position might shift their perceived impact on others in the group. The style five is a interweaving rainbow of colors that overlays and combines to create an infinite number of hues, and we could talk about variations of their dynamics honestly all night. Don’t even get me started on bringing their individual colors into this conversation, because that’s a whole other onslaught of potential meanings—

𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑: 𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄
𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒔𝒖𝒚𝒂 𝑲𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂/𝑵𝒂𝒐'𝒔 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓! 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓
𝑆𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑠: The Reader and her boyfriend Natsuya wears matching Pj's and spend time together out of the house.
Tumblr media
Both Natsuya and [Name] got dressed in their matching Christmas Pj's. It was a gift from Natsuya's friend and your brother; Nao. Tonight they wanted to head out to the Christmas-New Years party happening before Midnight and head out with Rin at a food restaurant. "Angel, are you almost done?" He said from downstairs. You on the other hand was doing your hair for the occasion that Rin would be at, she had never met him but was so glad that she would finally meet one of his friends from his journey. She finally came downstairs, having her hair in a braided bun with two medium hair strands in her face. Now she was really ready since her jacket, scarf, gloves and boots. "Sorry for taking so long!" She said to him.
- 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 -
Rin waited for the countdown to begin just like the others at the shrine as he notices Natsuya and a person he never met before at all, walking in the loud and crunchy snow on the ground. She had beautiful long gray hair that was in a braided bun and shiny lime green eyes.
"Took you long enough." The maroon guy said a bit inpatient.
"Sorry about that. My girlfriend was busy getting ready." His girl then waved at the guy named Rin, saying hi to him nervously. The three stood with each other, waiting for the countdown to begin. As that happened mostly everyone went to the bright yellow and red stand, grabbing a good luck charm called an Omamori. Inside of them, it had either a prayer or a sacred inscription in tiny colorful pouches. Everyone came back just in time for the countdown, and everyone said together,
"3... 2.... 1... Happy New Years!" The fireworks went up in the sky like a gun and cheers were in the air as everyone watched the fireworks show inside the shrine that night. [Name] then gave a kiss to her boyfriend as she said to him, "Happy New Years, Natsu..."
"Happy New Years, My sweet Angel."
-𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓 -
Natsuya, [Name] and Rin sat at a table inside of the restaurant as they shared some laughs and giggles. "Tonight was fun!" Said your brown haired boyfriend before drinking his beer. A sigh escaped your lips, worried that he would over-drink once again. "[Name], wasn't it? What do you do?" Rin asked her. She has a finger on her chin, trying to explain how to say it. "Well, I am a Apparel Designer and Beauty Pageant Entrant." "So you were that one in the magazine?!" He asked her. The woman nodded at his response happy, excited that he looks at her ad photos in the magazines or news photos.
"I-I wouldn't say I do."
"You know, Rin... I find you very interesting. Back then, I used to have a passion for swimming... But one day, I found out that my cousin committed suicide from some constant bullying in school. I was so devastated that she was gone, which is why I gave up on that." She said after chewing her food thoroughly. Rin nodded his head and ate some of his food, they talked for a bit longer than usual.
But when [Name] turned to hee boyfriend after drinking her apple juice, she seen him knocked out from the amount of beer he drank. "You are such a liar, Natsu..."
- 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 -
"Well, I guess we'll meet again soon. See ya!" She smiled at Rin and Natsuya waves at him drunkenly and dozing off. The maroon boy then waved at them, heading to his home.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Oh my! This is a hard one! I have so many works. How can I pick five?I guess I can list a few, and since I can't bring myself to rank them, let's do it in cronological order, the oldest first.
Free Parenting 2015 (AO3 2016)
The story just means a lot to me. I came up with it together with a friend, and it triggered a whole series. It is obvious that this story is eight years old at this point. My understanding of the English language and the Japanese culture has developed a lot since I wrote it, but I'm still proud of what I made, even if reading the mistakes now makes me cringe, it's only because I care. That I came up with that AU and all the conflicts that would come from this setting is still beyond me.
Hotel Room Fantasies 2017
This is still my most successful one-shot ever. Of course, it is BL, so that makes sense. Still, I once again managed to pull off exactly what I wanted. My intentions with the story was that the reader should not be able to tell whether what the boys do is actually happening or if it's just something going on in Serinuma's head, and I think I accomplished that really well. I really want to say I did it to perfection, but I also don't want to praise myself too much, but oh well. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to this story.
Ace of Chatrooms 2017
My first chat-fic and my most successful one (of two). I remember that I only wrote this story because I wanted to try and write a chat-fic, and before I knew it, I had written half the story and it wasn't about to end anytime soon. I have no understanding of English chat-language and therefore did not use it. As a result, it probably feels less realistic, but everyone can follow it easily. It also has a lot of my humor in it and it is one of the fics I will sit down to read when I feel down and need something to laugh at. I've already read it more times than I can count, and the sequal too. When the Daiya anime continues, I'll probably write the third part of this series, but I definitely need the material to base the chaos off of before I can unfold it again.
Danger Zone 2021 (Title might change)
This story is probably the most complicated one I've ever written, and not because I find the plot too complicated. It's mainly the storylines. We follow quite a few characters throughout the story and their stories are all connected, not just because they know each other, but each minor plotline has an impact on the overall story. I'm proud of how it turned out. I still call it my masterpiece. I mean, it took me two years writing it and only half a year publishing it. That part is bittersweet, but I'm proud of my work and I enjoy going back to read it.
I Will Go With You 2021-2022
So much research went into this story. I did the same when I wrote Figure Swimming, but I still did more research here. I wanted to make the snowboarding seem realistic, and I wanted all facts about Canada to be as accurate as possible. There were a few problems, as it is not known exactly where in Canada Langa is from, except they don't speak French there. But I looked into how long it would take to travel to Canada, how to get in, what kind of food is traditionally Canadian, the school system, and of course everything worth knowing about snowboarding. On top of that, I feel like I managed to flesh out my original characters really well. I still have art of Louis and Lian that I don't think made it unto any website. I also think I managed to make Langa's grandparents into more than just some stick figures, and the same with Erica. I managed to include all the scenes I had in my head and make an interesting story. The only thing I'm sad about is that even in my story Reki can't win a race. Good thing I'm playing with the idea of making a sequel to this story too.
Honorable Mentions:
Imagination (2016) because I like that I managed to come up with it and execute the idea that well.
Figure Swimming (2017) because other people tell me I got the characters' personalities really well (and it was the first work I did a lot of research for).
Dumb Luck (2022) because it marks my "dark age" of realism. I also personally think it makes sense in spite of me not using the names of the main characters of the story.
Knights and Princesses (2022) because the scene on the bridge came out just as I had intended it to.
I know I was not supposed to list this many, but with a total of 88 works on AO3, there is quite a lot to choose from. I also would have liked to mention a few more, but I guess I'll really have to stop myself at this point.

Hello, I’m the same anon who asked for sousuke story. I was thinking maybe the story would be about a dinner date with him after a long day of swimming. He would rather eat more than he intended to and have a carbonated drink and as the date goes ok they wouldn’t sit on his stomach well. Eventually he would start to get burpy all of a sudden like a big one would explode out of him as he spoke. He is usually strict towards the swimmers and is calm and reserved most of the time but he would feel nervous and embarrassed for being rude which is very rare to witness. Also do you write burps as descriptive or onomatopoeia? Thank you! ^^
Hi Anon! Let me just say I personally love this idea! I’ve practiced writing a oneshot like this before but I never posted it (it’s old and not the greatest💀) Also the description is pretty detailed which makes it easier for me to try and give you what you want in your request so thank you for that!❤️ This will be my first burpfic that I’ve ever published on any platform so I’m actually excited because this is my first request for it, so thank you! Btw is there any specific pronouns you’d prefer the reader to have or just gender neutral? Also I tend to write description burps but if you want me to try onomatopoeia I can, just let me know. I’ll try to have you request published by Wednesday at the latest🫶

The first season of Free! Iwatobi Swim Club us available on YouTube. The story is good and the characters are likeable.
Even better… I’m gonna share this link with everyone(if it works; cross your fingers). I watch all my free anime on Watch Cartoon Online. That’s actually the link to Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, but you can peruse and find other anime and cartoons as well! It’s my favorite thing. 💕
👇🏻This should be where the link takes you… I think. I’m 84% sure!
Tumblr media
Tomorrow’s Sunday and I’m probably going to spend the day watching Free! instead of going to Mardi Gras parades like everyone else in Louisiana is going to be doing this week. I’ll let you know what I think about the anime tomorrow!
Tumblr media
👆🏻That’s one of the guys? He looks like the guy on the cover and He was in the swim club gifs. If so, he’s cute and I love him already.
