[active-mind-15]

I had a silly little KNB idea based on the "of course" trend going around on Tik Tok

Kuroko: we're the Teiko basketball team. Of course we shoot laser beams out of our hands when we're playing basketball. You thought that was special effects?

~~~

Kise: we're the Teiko basketball team. Of course everyone has a gimmick like we're members of an early 2000s boy band. I'm the good-looking one, by the way.

~~~

Midorima: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course everyone has insufferable personalities that make us incapable of befriending anyone who's not part of the club.

Aomine in the distance: speak for yourself, loser!

~~~

Aomine: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course we have inhuman strength and abilities that surpass NBA players despite all of us being between the ages of 13 and 16.

~~~

Momoi: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course we have data on every basketball player in the district down to their blood type and social security number. Doesn't everybody?

~~~

Murasakibara: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course we... what was my line?

Kise, out of frame: Not again!

~~~

Akashi: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course we have cheesy nicknames for every one of our abilities. We're middle schoolers, what did you expect?

~~~

Haizaki: this trend is stupid, I'm not doing it.

Nijimura, appearing behind Haizaki and gripping his shoulder: wanna repeat what you just said???

~~~

Nijimura, holding a beat-up and barely conscious Haizaki: we're the Teiko basketball team, of course as a senior I have to play the role of a single parent and make sure these brats behave.

Akashi, out of frame: Nijimura-san, I think Haizaki stopped breathing.

Nijimura, unfazed: he'll be alright.

[kirisaki-daichi-scenarios]

How'd you think kiridai, haizaki, imayoshi, nash and jason would use insta? (I know it isn't popular in Japan but still)

Hanamiya Makoto

his account used to be public but he made it private after getting fed up of having to delete comments like “you scumbag you broke my friend’s ribs rot in hell” from his posts which were just cute pictures of the kiridai cat (yes i’m bringing this ancient headcanon back) 

so now he only allows follows from people he knows and trusts which means literally just the kiridai team, imayoshi, maybe a couple classmates, and his mum 

and then within that circle, he has the other kiridai boys on his close friends list and they’re the ones who see the stories that ‘reveal his true nature’ 

like hanamiya sees that someone who played against him has made a post about their journey going through shoulder rehab (no guessing who gave them their shoulder issues), so he reposts that post to his close friends story with the caption “time for a round two?”

meanwhile the posts his mum sees are just pictures of the kiridai cat or pages from some books he’s been reading recently

(n.b. hanamiya’s mum very rarely uses instagram. she only uses the account to keep up with family members, and only made it in the first place because hanamiya had just made his and she wanted to make sure he didn’t get cyberbullied. 

meanwhile her son is the one who has been repeatedly suspended from instagram for bullying.)

Hara Kazuya

has a lot of accounts and if not for the fact that he has basketball and other hobbies he would be chronically online

so there’s one main account which has just a couple photos that make him look cool (a photo of him dunking, or him drumming with good lighting) and occasionally he’ll post a picture on his stories of the city under a dawn sky and a note of the time so everyone knows he’s out grinding streetball at stupid o’clock. 

the main account is his only public account and he only really has it so that, if anyone (family friends, basketball players from other schools) search him up, those curated posts are all they’ll see. he only posts that occasional story in order to see if anyone’s been stalking him.

then there’s the finsta which is what he’s most active on. he posts several times a week on this account and the posts are all either 1) shitposts and memes that make little to no sense, 2) pictures of fellow kiridai members at very bad angles, or 3) photos from matches that he wants to mock, like a picture of kiyoshi’s face in agony as his knee got broken with the caption “tfw tanaka-sensei sets a pop quiz.”

and finally hara has his assortment of troll accounts, most of which he uses to pretend to be a high school girl living in the general Tokyo area so that he can catfish classmates when he’s bored. 

hara has so many of these accounts that he’s created a cinematic universe of his own with elaborate storylines about the tumultuous friendships between these non-existent girls. they’ve become kiridai’s answer to d&d whenever the boys are bored.

plus these catfish accounts have now become strategic. several of the ‘girls’ are in talking stages, and even online relationships with, basketball players from other schools. this means that a) hara can get intel from the players and b) as soon as any important match comes around, he breaks up with/ghosts the guy, in the hope that it’ll make them place worse.

it goes without saying that it was hanamiya who invented this innovative technique of psychological warfare but hara’s the one who puts the hours in - to the point where it would be a little suspicious how well he can pretend to be a teen girl in love if not for the shit-eating grin on his face whenever he goes through his collection of screenshots of messages begging “her” to take them back 

(sidenote - can you imagine how well okamura would fall for this?) 

(i’m thinking of a yandere!okamura x catfish!hara fic…)

Furuhashi Kojiro 

has two Instagram accounts

account number one is the one his teammates/family/friends follow. it’s a private account that he doesn’t use very much apart from liking friends’ posts. he has a few photos on there, but mostly photos of scenery from holidays

account number two is public, with around 10k followers. it’s completely anonymous and no one irl knows he has it. this account posts quite regularly and every post is an aesthetic picture either of his plants or what he’s baked recently. and when i say aesthetic, i mean aesthetic: the perfect warm lighting and usually some berries or something framing the centrepiece of the photo. 

the captions are usually quite short and wholesome: “making melonpan can be difficult but i find the challenge refreshing” “when the days become stressful, i turn to these larch bonsai to remind myself to stand tall” “i am trying a new macaroon recipe. may it bring great riches.”

he’s also started posting some reels on this account, mostly timelapses of bread rising or plants growing etc

furu uses very few hashtags but somehow still gets super high engagement. his followers adore him and have collectively assumed he’s a fem lesbian living in the countryside somewhere with her beloved girlfriend. (furuhashi naturally never corrects anyone because he wants to keep it anonymous.) the comments are all “cottagecore queen” “i owe all my mental health to you” “the only unproblematic account on Instagram” 

so yeah, on instagram, furu is considered an angel

Jason Silver

this man has not posted a single photo where he is not shirtless

and his stories are like 30% videos from streetball practice and 70% thirst traps which he pretends he’s posting to show his gains... but everyone knows he’s just posting them to try attract the three women who followed him back

his following is around 50% ‘baddies’, 45% nba players, and 5% friends and a few streetballers that he’s played against before

(he follows very few streetballers because he thinks it’s beneath him to follow losers and see how they’re improving. he’s so good at basketball he has no need for that, duh.)

(in reality he has no need to stalk prospective opponents because nash does it for him.)

also actually headcanon that most of jason’s posts are videos of him breaking the hoop while dunking or just generally basketball action shots, because jason can’t pose in front of a camera to save his life

you can’t blame him really - that’s a lot of man to fit in one small lens

Haizaki Shougo

no profile photo, no posts: 100% anonymous account. man just uses his Instagram account to get material to jerk off too - pretty much every single account he follows is of an onlyfans model. (he would still be following some female classmates and kise’s ex girlfriend if not for the fact that they’ve all blocked him.)

in the end, haizaki has no friends to interact with and no aesthetic life he can post about, so why would be bother having a more social instagram

added bonus of the anonymous account is that he can use it to stalk others - and he does like his stalking. 

sometimes he stalks the gom’s accounts, and he tells himself it’s just to make fun of them being desperate for likes or looking pretentious, but really he gets a “what could have been” feeling from scrolling through all the photos (and it hurts -- especially seeing videos of them playing together like back in middle school.)

and sometimes haizaki stalks his fukuda sogo teammates. again, he tells himself it’s just to mock them, and he’ll see photos of them hanging out together and be like “what fucking losers who would want to be seen with them.” but there’s a little pang of loneliness in his heart all the same.

Yamazaki Hiroshi

has had the same instagram account since he was 10 and he never deletes or archives any posts so if you scroll far down enough, you’ll find videos of pre-pubescent him and hara doing ‘parkour’ (literally just jumping over benches and off swings) or those chain posts like “share this with five friends or you’ll be haunted forever.)

zaki’s is a private account with a couple hundred followers - his teammates obviously but also family, cousins, some classmates, some of hara’s catfish accounts, and even a couple fellow high school basketballers from distant enough teams that they somehow haven’t realised that zaki is a member of the infamous kiridai. 

he posts semi-regularly and mostly just very normal, mundane posts - photos from family holidays, a tasty udon noodle bowl he had the other day and maybe the occasional streetball photo (typically with one of the kiridai boys in the frame instead of zaki – zaki’s not a huge fan of photos of himself)

zaki’s feed is mostly hara’s shitposts and also streaming clips from his various video games, and if you do ever see his account in the ‘wild’, it will be him backing up hara’s finsta after hara made a particularly outrageous comment somewhere

because a real friendship takes two people: Person 1 who just stirs shit up, and Person 2 who defends Person 2’s shit-stirring by cursing out every commenter who criticises them

[ferg0s]

Haizaki should fold me in half but like fold my legs up :33

The sharp sound of skin slapping skin echoed in the empty bathroom. You buried your head crook of Haizakis neck to muffle your moans, your arms tightening around Haizakis neck as your hands grip onto his hair (locks?). The mucles in your inner thighs burn, but the feeling of Haizaki plowing inside you override your senses. You could feel the cold wall against your back, the feeling of your shirt lifiting up with each thrust. Haizakis nails dug into the soft skin of your ass.

Haizaki was unpredictable. Most people feared his mood swings, his sudden outburts of violence - but the thing that concerned you the most was his labido. You didn't know if he would pull you aside to talk to you or to fuck you. Public sex was a particular favourite of his - and you has a suspecion that the illegal aspect of was what got him off the most, but he swore up and down that he couldn't help himself when you looked so good.

You found yoursef in the furtherest stall in the mens bathroom, pressed agaisnt the wall as you he hungerly kissed you. You fumbled with his belt, trying to take it off as you reciprocated his hungry kiss. He pulled your pants down effortlessly, pulling down your panties wirh ease. In seconds you found yourself turned aorund, your ass exposed to him. You heard him spit before feeling the tip of his dick at your entrance. He pushed it in with the groan, pressing his body weight against you. His arm warpped around you and grabbed your wasit, pullling you closer. Too lost in the moment, you failed to pick up on his groaning.

"Fuck.." he said as he pressed againt you more, lining you up with the wall. "I need to feel you,"

In a heart beat he pulled out, much to your confusion. You turned around to see if he was okay - wondeirng if he was finished so quick. You turned your head around, only to be met by a kiss. He kissed you eagerly, biting your lip, his tongue darting inside yours. You turned around and wrapped your arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. You felt him begin to kneel down, kissing down your clothed troso until he reached your cunt. He licked your clit, your hands going down and grabbing his head as a reaction. Your bit your lip, trying to keep the noises to a minimum when you felt him tongue begin to toy with your clit, swriling and flicking it as his hands went down your legs and began to lift up your leg, taking yout foot out of your pants and panties. You felt the restriction become undone and lifted your leg slightly. You let out a groan when you felt the warmst of his tongue leave your clit, looking down at him. You felt his arms snake behind your thighs, his hands firmly grabbing your ass and before you could react your felt yourself getting hoisted up. You let out a little yelp at the sudden feeling, only to be silenced by Haizaki kissing you.

You felt him line himself up, before his hips thrusted up. He pressed you agasint the wall, putting his weight on your chest as he burined his head in your neck. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you. The jangle of your belt moving as he dangled from your jeans off one of your legs filled the bathroom along with both of yours heavy breathing. He bit down on your shoulder, fucking you like a man starved. The angle made the tip of his dick hit yoru cervix, the somewhat uncomfortable feeling being dronwed out by the his dick rubbing against your g-spot the feeling of his exposed skin rubbing agasint your clit. Your hands gripped his hair, your eyes screwed shut. You pressed your lips together, trying to muffle your cries.

"Im gonna- fuck im coming-"

He pulled out, groaning as cum oozed out of his dick and onto your pussy, and his torso. The cum dripped down his lenght and onto the floor.

"You-" you said inbetween huffs, trying to catch your breath. "I didn't cum," i chuckled.

"my bad," he panted back. "It felt so good i couldn't control it-"

"Round two?"

"Do you see how hard i came? Give me an hour," he said as he placed you back down. Your legs barely had any life in them as you felt your body weight shift onto him.

Haizaki reached over for the toilet paper dispenser, pulling out a hand full before cleaning his cum off you then him. Throwing the toilet paper in the toilet, he truned back to you. He eyed you down before smirking.

"C'mere princess," he said as he grabbed your waist and pulled you close. "Cum on my fingers,"

You let out a hitched breath when you felt his fingers go into you.

This trio💀💀

[spatio-rift]

honestly.... the fact that we KNOW haizaki does have a solo penguin the devil move but we never got to see it bc hiroto hijacked it and it made god&devil is a crime... what if i WANTED to see penguin the devil

[kurokonobrainrot]

I love thinking about the miracles casually mentioning the wild shit that happened during middle school in front of their high school teams.

Kise : Oh this remind me of the time when we got involved with jewelry store thieves during a festival. Momoi accidentally took possession of their loot.

Kaijo : Excuse me, what ??

____

Murasakibara : I love this flavor of maiubo, Mido-chin once stopped a robber on a scooter by throwing the exact same box at him.

Yosen : A driving scooter ?? From afar ?? Ha ha you must be joking, this level of accuracy and strength isn't possible-

Murasakibara : Yeah he ruined my maiubo...

Yosen : THAT'S NOT THE ISSUES HERE WTF

____

Kuroko : A couple contest ? This brings back memory, we once participate in a couple contest with my friends from Teiko.

Seirin : You mean the miracles ? As couples ?

Kuroko : Yes, i was paired with Akashi-kun as the wolf and red ridding hood

Seirin : Haha, Akashi as the wolf i can imagine that.

Kuroko : No i was the wolf. Half of them had to cross-dress.

Seirin : Wait seriously, do you have pictures ?? Hey don't disappear finish the story first !!

Kuroko will not finish the story, he will keep the mystery going for as long as he can.

___

Aomine : Don't be crybaby you can play with a sprained wrist, Haizaki did it all the time after Nijimura beat the shit out of him.

Too : Come again ??

___

Momoi : Akashi has been spotted saving a baby's life by catching them with lightning fast reflexes before his stroller collide with a truck once.

Too : I refuse to believe that

Momoi : Are you saying MY informations and data gathering are incorrect ? :)

___

Akashi and Midorima probably have the craziest stories and they'll be unnecessarily vague about it.

Murasakibara casually dropping Teiko lore to his teammates happens a lot in this Drama audio (He mostly talked about Akashi, because of course he would) and this is honestly once of the funniest one.

I should probably make a separate post about it because it truly is a masterpiece and it 100% deserves it

BLLK + HQ + KNB BOYS WHEN YOU’RE DRIVING

cw: none, the (!!) in front of names is just to emphasise that they’re the most likely to react that way

200 words

He’s wearing pillows all over his body that’re strapped onto him with tape and a helmet on his head

> nagi, ego, zantetsu | kenma, ukai, osamu | murasakibara, kuroko

Giving you directions and always telling you to be careful when he feels you’re going too fast or turning a corner

> kunigami, chigiri, hiori | sugawara!!, iwaizumi, asahi | akashi, kiyoshi, kasamatsu

He’s sitting quietly while he charges up his laugh, ready to let it out once you crash into something or stop abruptly

> bachira, shidou!!, kaiser | tendou, bokuto, oikawa | haizaki, takao!!, izuki

He’s staring at you with an unimpressed look while he criticises your driving…quite brutally. He’s like “you call this driving?”

> rin, barou, sae | tsukishima!!, sakusa, suna | midorima!!, hanamiya, nash

He’s a worrywart, to the point that once you literally speed up a tiny bit or drive over a bump on the road, he insists for you to stop the car and for him to drive (as if you were the one that put the bump there smh)

> isagi, tokimitsu!! | daichi, yamaguchi!!, akaashi | kise!!, kagami, sakurai!!

Shouting at the top of his lungs for you to stop driving like you’re in formula 1, you’re stressing him out fr fr

> meangirl isagi, reo, ego | kageyama!!, kyotani, atsumu | aomine!!, wakamatsu, hyuga

Masterlist :)

a/n: i can just imagine kuroko with a bunch of pillows around him 😭😭 and takao’s laugh would have me laughing too💀💀

Kira H., Haizaki, Shirou, Atsuya, Gouenji, Kidou, Sakuma and Aphrodi as pkmn gym leaders ? (8 characters for 8 gym in one region 😜)

ah yes, pokezuma...! drawing them all would be too much so I picked the two I haven't drawn before (if one meme redraw from when Ares was airing doesn't count):

ignore the bad text formatting lol I got lazy I'm not very knowledgeable on the technical side of pokemon (stats, type combos, etc etc) so I'm going by visuals and vibes; Hiroto's a poison type leader and Haizaki is dark type! (and of course he has a Teddiursa too, she's just not on the battle team)

adding some thoughts about the others too under a cut:

the Fubukis would be fun as a dual gym or connected gyms with dual typings, Atsuya with ice/fire and Shirou with ice/water! they would share some pokemon like Bearctic and Darmanitan (standard/galarian) but have differing ones too, like Arcanine for Atsuya and alolan Ninetales for Shirou (sadly there's not canine ice pokemons...)

Gouenji would of course be fire type leader, and he's late to your match. I can't imagine him without Cinderace and Blaziken.

Kidou is psychic type and his fight is the most tactical and hard to to bruteforce with just power. his team is an annoying mix of dual types like alolan Raichu, Metagross and Gardevoir. his personal team has of course all the penguin pokemon.

Sakuma is a bit of ??? for me... maybe he'd be steel type? with Corviknight, Mawile, Empoleon?? please share if you have any strong opinons on what he should have...

Aphrodi could be either flying or flying/fairy? I want him to have both alolan and standard Ninetales either way lol (also I think Altaria would fit him and yes, this mf is having galarian Articuno too)

[tetsunabouquet]

At what age do you think the gom + kagami + kuroko will lose their v-card??

Kise

-The youngest to lose their virginity. -Considering Haizaki already implied having sex with his 'ex' and Haizaki being like a dark mirror to Kise's character, I feel like Kise also los his in middle school already. -His fangirls do give him consistent opportunity to get laid after all. -He's actually quite the manwhore when he's young.

Kuroko

-His twenties. -Kuroko is most definitely the type to wait and be in a more serious relationship before he starts having sex. -To him, its a sacred part of a romantic union. -He actually treats the occasion quite romantically, having prepared with candlelight in advance.

Aomine

-During his days at To-oh Academy. -Because Aomine isn't that clever with girls actually, he failed at middle school but considering his attractiveness there are definitely some girls lined up for him during high school. -He definitely forgot a condom once and had a pregnancy scare that made him cry on the shoulder of an irritated Momoi, considering it was his fault to begin with and as a woman she has no patience for that shit. -He definitely learns a lesson or two during his highschool days.

Akashi

-The latter half of his twenties. -This is because he won't have sex until he actually settles down with the girl he intends to marry. -Because of the expactations placed on him as the Akashi heir, he won't indulge in scandalous behavior such as one night stands or even sex with a girl he isn't that serious with. -But luckily Akashi is a quick study.

Murasakibara

-College days. -I imagine Murasakibara being too far gone on edibles and letting some random girl climb him because he's so hot. -This becomes somewhat of a pattern during college. -However he will straighten out of after college because it was starting to get annoying.

Kagami

-His early twenties. -Blame this guy's poor skills with girls, he's even worse then Aomine. -But unlike Aomine, he did it with his steady girlfriend. -I imagine Kagami being the type to wait for his first serious relationship.

Midorima

-Speaking of the guys waiting to be in a serious relationship, we have Midorima. -His twenties, possibly even his early thirties if he prioritizes his ambitions as a basketball player or medicine studies over a relationship. -I definitely see him being the last to lose his virginity. -Aomine likes to tease him about it.

Inazuma Eleven Bad Boy Band AU (both OG and AresOri)

So I wanted to make a rock boy band (technically we do have one B4 from OG) BUT I WANTED TO INCLUDE Haizaki, Hiroto and Atsuya into the band so, I was like, ok, what if I mix both B4 and the three of them?

Now that's a lot of members for a band but like, hear me out. It CAN work out okay?

This would be their roles:

Tsunami as their main singer! The reason why I made Tsunami as their main singer is probably due to personality wise, I think he just suits it. Also voice wise, I think he can go absolutely crazy with it.

Next, Fudou as a guitarist and back-up vocals! He's definitely a guitarist, I can't see him play any other instruments but guitar. He likely started out with acoustic guitar then later on switched to electric guitar. He sometimes plays as the rhythm guitarist but other times would be lead depending on the song.

Haizaki is also a guitarist and back-up vocals! So, both Fudou and Haizaki will take turns who play rhythm and who plays lead. Whoever from the two plays rhythm will be the back-up vocal for Tsunami! (This makes it fair because rhythm is easier than lead.)

Okay, next up, Someoka as the drummer! I think he would go balls on drums, I dunno. He looks like the type to go unhinged with the drums especially if the song goes really hardcore.

Tobitaka as the keyboardist and very occassionally back-up vocals! I have a headcanon that he used to play piano at some point (has a keyboard than a piano at home because pianos are expensive asf) but got bored of playing classical so he learned other songs and were into that instead.

Hiroto as the bassist! Okay, you might think that he's probably a guitarist, yeah, I did too. But look, imagine first year middle school Hiroto wanting to get an electric guitar but saw a video of someone absolutely SHREDDING on the bass with crazy pop and slap, he then changed his mind and decided to learn bass so he can slap and pop to his heart content.

Lastly, Atsuya as the synthesizer player and I forgot to mention, sometimes he does back-up vocals! Okay, Kai, what the heck is the difference between keyboard and synthesizer? For that, it is best to watch a video on the difference because they are in fact, very much different. Okay, so, how is Atsuya the synth player here? Similar to Tobitaka, he probably learned the piano when he was younger but hated it because it's boring. So when he found out what a synthesizer was, he decided to get that and learn it, making his own sounds and songs from it. Also recreating some instrumental he likes. (I hc he likes EDM.)

So, with all these information combined, who's the song/lyric-writer? Okay, crazy shit here but it's Nagumo! He's probably a soundcloud rapper or something but enjoys writing songs and lyrics for fun (and can think of it on spot because you know, freestyle rapping.) He definitely helps the band's instrument arrangements and lyrics to an extent so, sometimes in their songs, you can see they credited Nagumo there. (Nagumo and Suzuno definitely are a duo lol but Suzuno is a vocalist instead.)

Okay last, Nishikage as their band manager! I think he suits it the most? Probably the most responsible deliquent from all of them so, it makes sense for them to have him as their manager.

Would this end up as a Idol/Band AU for the whole cast, MAYBE! Will I write a fanfic about this? ALSO MAYBE.

I brainrotted too hard for this lmfao kms. Also, I don't know what their band name would be this time but maybe something like Øverdxse is cool :P

Also, their songs would definitely mainly be metal or punk rock! But occassionally they might do some alternative rock, pop rock and synth or keyboard heavy rock songs (ballad rock even!)

This whole thing is inspired. I took inspiration from a K-rock band, Xdinary Heroes. Please listen to them, their songs suit this band so bad, you don't understand...

Anyways, THANKS FOR READING MY RAMBLING THIS FAR!!!! YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU DID BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH ^^

Kaijo (+ Haizaki's) animal forms in my knb shapeshifter au!

Another school that doesn't really have a theme in this au other than like, what I think aesthetically fits them? The theme sorta became majority dogs (Kagami's worst nightmare lol) but I think it fits because Kaijo is a loyal bunch. They're also a pretty mismatched bunch, so I think very different animal forms fits them! Kasamatsu ironically ended up being the largest. Who knew boars were so big!? Kise and Kasamatsu are the only named members of Kaijo with animal forms in my fanfic (so far), but I always imagined they weren't the only ones. I'm glad I finally brainstormed, and I'm pretty happy with where I landed. My favorite ideas are yet to come tho, so stay tuned...

Selection explanation below cut, plus some animal facts!!

Touou's | more art from the au | read the series (kagakuro main pairing)

Kise: culpeo fox. resisting making him another big cat was tough (i mean, the obvious copy cat joke is right there) but there were already a lot of big cat's in the au/canon, and Kise has always had dog-energy to me, in the nicest way possible lol. but he's also cunning and graceful, so after some thought, I landed on a fox. however I never landed on what breed of fox specifically until like, 2 days ago lol. however, a culpeo is actually more closely related to wolves/dogs than foxes! so he's actually on-theme haha

Kasamatsu: japanese wild boar. one of the firsts I selected. i just tried to think of smaller animals filled with fury and then Japan's demon boars came to mind. they're quite aggressive and such, and once I pictured boar!kasamatsu charging at Kise and Kise fleeing for his life, I couldn't think of anything else.

Haizaki: striped hyena. originally, I had him as a corsac fox, because I wanted him as a mirror to kise. but after some comments on the fanfic from some lovely readers, I came to the decision that hyena actually fit him much better, so i actually went back and rewrote all his parts (unlike for hanamiya). a scavenger, a bit mangy-looking, snarly, laughing...yeah, it fit. Striped hyenas however actually don't "laugh", unlike their spotted cousins. they more so grunt and yowl.

Moriyama: greater lophorina (superb bird-of-paradise). i wanted a flirty animal, since he's always concerned with girls. then this wondrous creature popped into my head and though he is very much the odd-one-out, it was hilarious and I couldn't get it out of my head. I also think for whatever reason it would be nice to have an avian shifter on each team, and this has him fill that role. please watch videos of the bird-of-paradise's courting dance, it is indeed superb.

Hayakawa: red merle boarder collie. i knew I wanted some sort of yappy, energetic creature, so naturally, a dog came to mind. I googled energetic breeds with big personalities and landed on boarder collies, then found the sub-breed red merles, which I think aesthetically match him more than the standard boarder collies. he sorta gives smaller dog energy, like a boxer or bulldog, but those weren't energetic/yappy enough in my mind haha.

Kobori: chesapeake bay retriever. a very last minute addition, he was originally a non-shifter in my head. but after some thought, I realized I wanted another dog. I originally planned on someone on kaijo being a black lab or something along those lines (originally imaging it for moriyama before changing my mind) so i figured fuck it, why not just make kobori one? but then looking at pictures of kobori i realized he doesn't have black hair?? oops. so then I researched other breeds of water-faring dogs with brown fur and landed on CB retriever. I wanted a "water-faring" dog because all of Kaijo's players' names are in fact references to rivers. however, kobori ended up being the only member with an animal form with some connection to water.

haizaki as the stranger in the night

tw implied sa

yandere haizaki who’s been following you home every night, hood over his head, balaclava pulled down, walking far enough from you that you won’t call the police but close enough to make sure you’re aware of his presence. you’re telling yourself that you’re going crazy, you’re just hallucinating, but in the figure in black is always there under the flickering street lights and sometimes you look back and he’s disappeared and sometimes you look back and he’s closer than ever. sometimes you think you hear him calling your name.

yandere haizaki who shoves past you hard when you ask him (your neighbour) if he’d be willing to walk you back from work some days because the police don’t believe you’re being stalked and you’re scared. it’s humiliating to be asking for help from the guy who you’d previously rejected, but needs must. and sure you called him a sex-obsessed pervert back then, told him you’d rather die than hook up with a guy like him… but now that death seems like it’s getting closer, you’re changing your mind. cause sure, haizaki’s a jerk but he’s no real danger - right?

yandere haizaki who’s towering over you, sneering, “thought you said you weren’t interested? how feminist of you to come crawling back the minute you get scared” you tell him you’ll pay him just to walk with you, you tell him you’re sorry for what you said before - it’s just that he’s the only guy you can trust to keep you safe from a stranger in a balaclava. and it looks like haizaki’s softening as he looks into your pleading eyes, and finally he sighs, “yeah alright. i’ll do it. but you’d better make it worth my while.”

yandere haizaki who’s laughing in his room late at night, cause they always said he had no smarts, but look at him now: his plan’s working so beautifully. either he’s more intelligent than they thought, or you’re a real fuckin idiot.

yandere haizaki who wraps his arm around your waste as the two of you walk through the dark streets. at first you flinch from his touch, but you soon lean into it, like you’re wishing it could swallow you whole. because you’ve convinced that’s the figure in black a few streets away - though it’s not, it’s just a friend of haizaki’s who owed him a favour - and the feel of haizaki’s muscle against your back is the only thing that’s stopping you from having a panic attack.

yandere haizaki who’s walking through your apartment a week later, without a care in the world. he knows for a fact that you’re at work, given that he’s the one who walked you there and he’ll be the one walking you home. he leaves a window partially open, throws your clothes across your room, pops a handwritten message next to his favourite lingerie set, now lying on your pillow.

yandere haizaki who’s there to comfort you when you get home and realise someone’s broken in. the note “wear this for me next time” has you hyperventilating in your big strong guardian’s arms. you’re begging haizaki to let you stay at his place, clinging to his shirt, your pretty eyes red with tears.

yandere haizaki who plays it cool. “yeah, think you’d better. what kind of creep does this?”

yandere haizaki who brings you a blanket to wrap around yourself as you’re sat on his sofa, still shaking. “beer or tea?” he asks and you can barely bring yourself to speak, you’re that shaken up. so he brings tea cause he’s not going to waste a beer on you, and you take it without a word. you don’t ask what’s in it. but that’s alright, cause this one’s his special recipe, and he can’t be giving away all his secrets.

yandere haizaki who watches as your eyelids start to droop and your body starts to sway. you tell him that you’re not feeling great - “i think i need to go to the hospital” - but how he’s supposed to understand what you’re saying when you’re slurring your words that bad.

yandere haizaki who picks you up with one arm and drags you to his bed. drops you on the black sheets. grins. your eyes are growing ever wider, fighting to stay open as they meet his amused gaze. you’re mouthing something but your tongue’s not working like it should, you can’t get the words out. it’s like every muscle in your body is betraying you, and your head is swimming, but you’re conscious and that’s all haizaki cares about: you being conscious for everything that happens next.

yandere haizaki who says, “don’t worry, i’ll protect you,” but he can barely keep the laughter out of his voice.

yandere haizaki who locks the door behind him and reaches for his balaclava and he's grinning more than ever.

Makoto Hanamiya

If you scroll down to comments on the Kuroko no Basuke wiki entry for Hanamiya, you'll see automatically that people do not like it when you like Hanamiya. I started on tumblr with KnB and Hanamiya is my profile picture. He's my favorite character. Ooh, people don't like that. We've had discussions about him. Because of his grueling and blatantly cruel way of playing basketball, where he goes out of his way to physically injure star players on the court—in front of the referees no less, he is probably the most hated character in the series. I practically wrote a treatise on him a few years back, someone had said that Hanamiya was way worse than another "villain" character, Haizaki. I argued that Hanamiya was the better person of the two. Hanamiya is 100% an asshole and he 100% maims people for fun. He is not a good person by any stretch of the imagination. However, he is redeemable. Haizaki physically assaults women and by reading the wiki entry on him, one can surmise that off-screen/off-page, he rapes girls and women—frequently. Hanamiya, from what we can see and glean from the wiki, has never harmed a female. Not once. That's a line even he won't cross. He also doesn't abuse his teammates, at all. He's on a first-name basis with one of them. Just like with Arlong in One Piece, Hanamiya went after a character connected to the main group, and that made him evil incarnate in people's eyes. The fandom is volatile to people who like Hanamiya or any of his pals. We get mocked and harassed for it. If you allow the Anon function, you get some pretty nasty stuff sent to you. Those same people, who loathe Hanamiya, practically worship Haizaki. Haizaki who on screen, canonically, picked a woman up BY HER THROAT. He uses and abuses women, he feels entitled to do so, he canonically abuses his own teammates and coach. He's a monster but the fans love him and hold him over Hanamiya and the fans who like Hanamiya. That's why Hanamiya is misrepresented by fans. Yeah, he is an asshole who goes out of his way to do bad things. But he's less of an asshole than Haizaki. Haizaki is a felonius woman-beater and possible rapist. Hanamiya deserves better and the fans deserve to be treated better, because Haizaki is so much worse and doesn't deserve his golden pedestal.

Feeling daring today - Haizaki for the character and ship bingo ;)

Your takes are much more interesting, so there may not be anything illuminating here but I tried. xD

*Non-sarcastically normal. Haizaki is a pretty neutral character when I think about him by myself, I just don't have that special connection to him.

*However I love him when you talk about him and I'm sure I would love him more if I just had an incentive to write about him. But I don't feel anything like that because you're already giving him justice. My brain doesn't really work unless I feel like I have something substantial to contribute, which I don't.

*Haizaki definitely still gets a lot of unjustified hate, because he was framed as a villain and people then interpreted his every action as coming from the worst place imaginable, while other characters' actions get understanding just because they can see those characters' sides but can't see Haizaki's since he wasn't written in a sympathetic way. On one hand, that's fair to me, if your fic needs a villain it makes sense to pick a character whose motivations were not discussed deeply, so you can turn him into as much of a villain as you want, because you have no need to think about that particular character so deeply. However, the rate at which this happens to Haizaki perfectly exemplifies how the same dynamic happens in real life, especially at schools. He has the outward characteristics of the person who is always the easiest to blame. Not that there isn't stuff to blame him for, it's just that when he gets blamed for more than his share, it becomes a vicious cycle. Not to say it would affect his likability to me even if he never grew less violent or got his shit together, because my like and dislike for fictional characters is not based on morality or whether or not I would like that character in real life. 😂 I didn't pay that much attention to him solely because I just overlooked his story as pretty been there done that. Any character depth he has is implied at best, because he's a side character. I would much rather see an actual depiction of the dynamics that get projected onto him. And you are doing that, so, I'm not complaining.

*I do think Haizaki is pretty silly, he's so macho but he's also kind of wishy-washy about it. Like, one minute he can be thundering on like any of the other macho characters but then his line for changing his mind and going like "you know what, not worth it, actually" is much lower. And somehow he gets depicted as pathetic for that, even though it may actually just be common sense and self-preservation.

*Honestly I need to remind myself that Haizaki exists, sometimes. I'm sorry. He just wasn't that compelling to me initially. I didn't demonise him (I'd like to think that I don't demonise anyone) I just wasn't interested enough. I knew there were reasons he acts the way he does but I didn't make actual effort to find out. You've done some good to me, reminding me that my perception is more limited than I would like, because I tend to pride myself for considering everyone's viewpoints. (Not 100% possible, but I try.)

*Well you said it, Haizadick is not an inaccurate term, no matter what way you look at it.

I didn't ship anyone with Haizaki because I didn't think about his life much before talking to you, so...

*Congrats, your Haizaki and his relationships are now basically canon to me. : D

*I just put that second tier text there because I imagine it's where the relationships that last a bit longer would go, and I think Haizaki just has many short relationships before maybe ending up with his end game.

*I mean I assume he has had fun short relationships with many girls.

*And probably many one-night stands.

*I literally just got it in my head that maybe he experimented with a guy once, while I was making this. He seems like a curious type even though I'm kind of assuming he's straight.

*Yeah, I theoretically get why these are ships but no I don't really get it, I would be lying if I said I truly deeply understood it.

I know my shipping tiers are a mix of "I actually root for it" and "I just sort of think it would happen" but that's what you get from me. : D

Hi there! I saw that you commented that the Japanese and Korean parts of the KnB fandom are still really active on Twitter - I was wondering if you had some hashtags / accounts on there to recommend to get started? I recently got back into KnB after years and have been so dejected at the lack of content (that I can find). Thank you so much for your time and help!

Of course, i'll be delighted to share them with you !

Little tip, if you follow several of them, you can be sure to discover new KnB artists every week thanks to the fanarts they retweet ! And I've probably forgotten a lot of those I follow.

Warning to anyone reading this : DON'T REPOST THEIR ART ANYWHERE ! Some people on Tumblr feel a little too comfortable reposting fanart on their blog, without the artists' permission and without giving credit. You must do both to be allowed to repost someone else's creation. And most of them don't speak English, so it won't be possible.

I'm on a crusade against art thefts i hate them so much you can't imagine.

Many artists delete their accounts and stop posting their works online when they notice it has been reposted. So if your morale isn't enough to stop you, remember that.

Now the fun stuff !

Links to their twitter accounts and some infos on what they draw the most. Personally, while I have a few favorite ships, none of them bother me and I love seeing new fanart, regardless of the ship featured. But if some of them aren't your cup of tea they'll be easier to avoid with the infos i added. Plus, I'm bad at organizing, so it's messy but it still took me waaay too long so I don't have the energy to change it.

OKAY BUT HEAR ME OUT -

The Seirin vs Kirisaki Daiichi game. Imagine if Hanamiya had actually succeeded and managed to hit Kuroko?? How badly we think everyone would have reacted?

Seirin for one would fly off the handle- Kagami was already on the verge of physically attacking them and Kuroko was the one who kept him at bay. Put him out of the equation and the tiger would have pounced

But also, the miracles were watching. We have proof that Aomine has no trouble going after someone who hurts his friends (Haizaki cof cof), and he's specially protective of Kuroko (continuously dragging Kise off him, getting him that drink that time at the hot springs, etc), so.... He would have kicked Hanamiya's ass for sure. Kise? Probably would've joined him, he's the BIGGEST Kuroko simp. What about the other three tho? I feel like Akashi would have found out and done something, regardless of having his nastier personality on the driver's seat at the moment, but I'm not sure what?? And the other two as well

Let me know if you guys have any ideas about that
