He got them to join his emo band 😔🤟

The new year's show was a success and it became a yearly thing.

This is kind of a continuation of my headcanon and brainrot posts about Chiba's friendship with Gakushuu and Yukiko, with a bit of my oc Isami bc I'm not really normal about him 🩵

[bearofohu]

starting days was where rinharu was at its funniest. haruka wakes up for his first day of middle school like thank god that annoying kid who i hated went to school in another country. why does everything Hurt

[bloomingforerza]

May I please request headcanons for what kind of wedding and honeymoon the Style Five would have?

notes from bloom: hi!!!! im sorry this took so long. ive been stressing out and i could give u all of my excuses and tragedies but instead i’ll reward ur patience with ur request 🫶🏻🫶🏻

also for general notes please know not all of this is 100% accurate to japan’s marital laws and traditions, i just doubt some of our boys are destination wedding type men, and this is my idea of what they would enjoy.

Haruka Nanase

🫧 You better like water.

🫧 Maybe you won’t have to like it as much as Haru does, but be prepared for Haru to argue for the two of you to be wed in a pool.

🫧 Instead, you may settle for a beach. Haru would be able to rip his tux off after the wedding and take a dip, and you’ll join him as his bride.

🫧 It’s something that’s probably not normal for most people, but for those that know Haru, they know you’re partaking for the same reason you’re marrying him.

🫧 Meeting his elusive parents almost seemed like it was something you had only dreamt. It wasn’t like they were bad or weird people, they were just never home.

🫧 The wedding reception is super awkward for Haru. After being stared at by loads of people, talking to not just his friends and family about the same things and then to your friends and family about the same things was really socially exhausting for him.

🫧 Especially when his ridiculous best friends put together a speech that was actually pretty embarrassing thanks to Nagisa

🫧 So when it’s time to leave for your honeymoon, he’s more than relieved.

🫧 The two of you planned to set out to Okinawa for your vacation. Not too far from home, but also very beautiful and a great place to swim.

🫧 After getting married and not having a moment alone with you all day, all he wanted to do was swim with his wife.

🫧 And the moment you guys were able to set your suitcases in the hotel room after checking in, you changed and raced to the ocean.

🫧 Haru loves that you can bring a slight child-like sparkle when it comes to normal things.

Makoto Tachibana

🫧 This beautiful man is READY to marry you. He was ready the day he proposed and he couldn’t believe it when the day finally came.

🫧 Mako seems like the type to have a traditional Shinto-style wedding. He’d want to have it at a shrine too

🫧 (But if Mako’s fiance is foreign, he would also want to have a wedding that was traditional to your country.)

🫧 Considering it’s a traditional Japanese wedding, you had found the most beautiful white kimono for your wedding day, and it gave you chills looking at it morning of.

🫧 Ren and Ran were 15 now, so thankfully they were allowed to attend the wedding. Makoto purposely waited until they were older so they could behave they way they needed to (and they did great he was such a proud big brother)

🫧 The gift giving ceremony was definitely the most emotional part for you both. Aside from the goshugi, both of your parents had made you both matching aprons.

🫧 He definitely would love to honeymoon with you somewhere you two can be alone. He’s tired of being bothered by everyone

🫧 Probably somewhere in the mountains, in a cabin

🫧 He seems like the wholesome kinda man that’d wanna go camping, sit by a fire and stargaze with you

🫧 He’d dote on you the entire time, just appreciating the fact that you’re his wife now

🫧 He cooks all your meals for you the entire time you’re out there. He doesn’t want you to have to lift a finger after singlehandedly planning the entire wedding.

🫧 He just loves you so much and wants you to know he’d do anything for you. Never hurt him please

Nagisa Hazuki

🫧 Nagisa would love to get married in a penguin aquarium. He isn’t super religious I would (personally) think

🫧 Which mean’s his wedding would probably be more western style. Most traditional weddings aren’t at the penguin aquarium

🫧 He loves the idea of giving you pebbles like penguins do on the days leading up to your wedding

🫧 He’s so excited. And considering he went with the western style approach, he wanted Rei to be his best man

🫧 He almost said no, but Makoto convinced him with a whole “This is so important to him Rei you don’t understand” argument

🫧 Nagisa’s older sister Nanako is just as amazing as your husband. She offered to do your hair for the wedding; and she helped make your day special.

🫧 Since his parents aren’t always the most supportive of everything or everyone, he’s so happy that they love you. His mom greets you with a “I’m going to have another daughters!” the minute she walks into the room.

🫧 He’s sooooo excited for the honeymoon! One of the best places to scuba and snorkel in the world. Koh Tao, Thailand.

🫧 Between the penguins at your wedding and your deep-sea adventure honeymoon, he’s more obsessed with you than ever.

🫧 He’ll find your cute knickknacks while out and about and just buy them; seashell necklaces, little plushies of sea animals, and even some cool pieces of sea glass he’ll occasionally find on the beach

🫧 He’d honestly love to have picnics on the beach every night of the honeymoon. He always says it’s because ‘loves the view’

🫧 He’s so grateful for you and he’s so happy that he can enjoy the things he loves with the woman he loves

Rei Ryugazaki

🫧 Rei’s the kind of man that would love a destination wedding.

🫧 He’ll work hard for it. He wants a beautiful spot for it, and in his mind the best place for him to marry you in Paris.

🫧 He’s a man of beauty, and I personally feel like he’s an art man. He’d appreciate classic and timeless art.

🫧 I think he’d love to tour Italy for your honeymoon and spent a few days in Paris together. He’d need time alone with you eventually.

🫧 But he would 100% plan sightseeing trips for you and both of your families for your wedding week.

🫧 He would love to spoil you when it comes to the wedding and honeymoon. He’d love to just dote on you and show you amazing sights just to see the look of amazement on your face.

🫧 And when it came to the honeymoon, Rei had planned wine tours in Verona, art in Rome, food focuses in Bologna, fashion exhibitions in Florence, and of course a gondola ride in Vienna.

🫧 He’d tell you how amazing it is to be able to call you his wife now.

🫧He loves you so much and wants to give you the world but he can’t, so he’ll show you everything the world can offer instead

🫧 He wants to give it all to you. He would bring down the stars and hand them to you if he could.

Rin Matsuoka

🫧 Rin obviously wants a destination wedding, no questions asked.

🫧 He’d LOVE a Hawaiian wedding. As cliche as it may sound, he loves the way they look in western movies.

🫧 He’d invite his host family from Australia as well. They played a big part in his life, he couldn’t wait for you to meet them.

🫧 Gou was your maid of honor. Ever since you’d first met Rin, just a little while after he came back from Australia, she was always asking if you were dating her big brother yet

🫧 You both want everything to be perfect. You chose millennial pink for your color theme to match some of the flowers at your wedding. The bridesmaids all had flower crowns made with hibiscus, baby’s breath and plumeria.

🫧 The cake was his favorite part. He’d always dreamed of a western style wedding that he had seen in movies, but he never imagined he could live his dreams right here with you

🫧 His mom cried the whole time about how much she’s going to miss her baby boy, but also told you she was glad she was entrusting him to you. She knew she could count on you to make sure this silly athlete takes a break once in a while.

🫧 The honeymoon was set to be in Hawaii, but Rin’s the type of husband who’d love to spoil you. He’ll book a side trip for just the two of you in Bora Bora.

🫧 One of the cute little island houses and everything, with a little wine-stocked fridge. He’d love a night swim with you under the stars

🫧 You’re his real dream come true. Swim is his passion and first love, but he swears you are the key to helping him succeed at everything he does

🫧 He’s going to big spoon you all night, and give you kisses on the back of your head and shoulders before going to sleep every single night he spends with you.

🫧 My personal favorite boy please never hurt him, he would fight off an orca whale for you if it really came down to it

I wonder if Nanase Haruka knows how pretty he is

Rin and Sousuke and Kisumi's Letters PART 6

Part 6 starts at 13:04

*Sousuke runs after Kisumi*

Sousuke: KISUMI!!!

*Sousuke grabs Kisumi tightly*

 Kisumi: Ow, ow, ow, I give up, Sousuke! I give up!

 Sousuke: So you’re the one who wrote all those nonsense to Rin, huh?

Kisumi: Nonsense? What do you mean? Wait a minute, let me go.

 *Sousuke throws Kisumi to the ground*

 Kisumi: You’re so mean, Sousuke.  No need to get so angry, you know?

Sousuke: This is no laughing matter! Tell me, who EXACTLY was crying at the dock?! And who was the one who wanted to swim all the way to Australia for Rin?!

Kisumi: Ah, so Rin sent you a letter? But Sousuke, you DID look like that. The last time I saw you, you had a really sad look on your face. I bet you were thinking about Rin, and knowing you, you would never tell him, that’s why I did it for you!

Sousuke: SHUT UP! You didn’t have to do useless stuff like that! If I really needed to tell Rin, I’d tell him!

Kisumi: Ehh~ for real? But being separated by such distance is a big problem, right? I only did what I thought was best for the both of you.

Sousuke: It’s your fault! Because of your unneeded meddling, Rin thinks I’m all of those ridiculous nonsense!

Kisumi: Eh, did I really write something strange? What did Rin say?

Sousuke: That I was crying at the dock, and that I wasn’t eating properly. It sounded like I was dying! That’s ridiculous!

 Kisumi: Woah!  It seems like Rin took it too seriously. What an imagination!

Sousuke: Why you little… Prepare yourself!

Kisumi: Uhm… Sousuke? This is bad, don’t be too mad… yeah?

Sousuke: Oh, you’re really annoying! TAKE THIS!

*Sousuke grabs Kisumi once again*

Kisumi: NO, THAT HURTS~! Sousuke, you’re going to break my neck, please let go of my neck!!

Rin and Sousuke and Kisumi's Letters PART 7

Part 7 starts at 15:07

Sousuke: Rin, how are you doing? I’m still doing what I usually do, so please don’t worry about me. By the way, about the muscle training regimen we discussed, I have already reached the advanced level, so I think I won this challenge, don’t you think? As promised, you owe me a cola when you get back. Don’t you forget it! One more thing, the times when we competed over who could get to the train station first, or when we played soccer or other games, for me none of them were real competitions. There are many things we have yet to experience. Surfing sounds good. Keep at it! As for me, I only keep swimming. My time in butterfly improved, and I’m eating and sleeping properly. It’s getting pretty hot here, which means it must be getting cold where you live. You’ve always liked the winter season. You go crazy with the Christmas and New Year seasons. Anyway, let’s keep working hard together. See you soon.

P.S.  I already dealt with Kisumi.

 Rin: Eh? What about Kisumi? Nevermind! Let’s write back!

Rin: Sousuke~! Too bad for you but I reached the advanced level before you, which means our match isn’t over yet!

THE END

I know it's a little too late, and no one would prob need this anymore, but still... I did it anyway!! I hope you all like and appreciate this translation! Please like and reblog!

I love how Vash's Japanese VA, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, captures a big, whopping Grandpa sneeze here. He's showing Vash's true age XD

HaruGou from "Remember Me" My first completed HaruGou fanart! It's a concept piece for a prequel that I want to write but probably will never get around to, so here's how it looks in my head instead... I've a long way to go with colouring, textures and backgrounds but I'm relatively happy with how it's turned out :)

[cocotome]

This song is so much fun! I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but it's so weird that Hirarin is singing in such a high tone for this song! It makes sense because it's Rei, but without the visuals, it can be hard to tell if it's Hirarin or Mamo singing at some parts! If you can't tell, after all these years I'm still not over this duet....

[bearofohu]

sorry for doing this again but how are ppl seriously claiming that rin and haru werent written with the subtext of having any romantic tension……… what the fuck do you think the association with sakura trees means in japan???? the power of friendship??? commodore between men?? it means gay sex fall in love. like come the fuck on
