#it's funny that lev sakunami and jiri are all in my prince and the pauper au for those reasons LMAO

I know there aren't as many public schools as private schools but do you think there's token rich kids on those teams?

this is one of the FUNNIEST asks i've ever received and i am VERY happy about it because YES i absolutely DO think there are token rich kids on the nonrich public school teams so let's go!!

karasuno: kageyama. like . . . i imagine his parents have demanding work that make bank, which is why he was primarily raised by kazuyo. also, i've looked at the brand he uses for his bag - le coq sportif is CRAZY expensive. he's probably the only student in the whole school with something like that. if we want to go even further, kazuyo is a shiratorizawa alumnus, so his family's money or prestige or whatever could theoretically stretch pretty far back. and honestly? it's hard, switching to karasuno. kageyama feels like a fish out of water here where everyone seems to understand each other except him. but they try, and he tries, and he loves them so, so much, and he wants to be better than he was before. so he starts with gifts - little things like a spa day for everyone, or maybe a pile of quality snacks (he got the idea watching daichi treat them all the time), a new set of towels, whatever he can do to help them, to let them know how much he appreciates what they've given him.

nekoma: okay so uhh i did not mean to take it that far with karasuno LMFAO, anyways for nekoma i honestly think it's lev. like man something about his arrogance and confidence and how he doesn't seem to get connection the way everyone else does because he really never experienced that sense of community growing up as a rich kid. nekoma is where he learns and grows outside of that and comes to be a better person than he was before

dateko: hmm kind of tricky but i think it might be sakunami honestly. the money itself doesn't mean much to him he just wants to do what makes him happy. also i wholeheartedly believe he's a weird little bean and part of that weirdness comes from having had a childhood funded very differently than your average nonrich kid. he's quiet about it and doesn't flaunt it and is pretty self-aware, which is why futakuchi doesn't tease him for it the way he normally would.

johzenji: oooooh let's see . . . i think it'd be REALLY funny if it was, mmm, numajiri. i adore jiri and i bet sometimes he thinks the rest of johzenji are absolute heathens for how they act which is why he gets that look on his face sometimes LMAO. he's another one who's quiet and doesn't flaunt it and blends in with the others REALLY well, if not for the slightly haughty resting face he usually has.

i would love to hear your thoughts/casting on a princess and the pauper au!! that movie was my childhood 😭

OMG YES LET'S GET IT!!!

this might get kind of long bc this can go two ways, really

so the first one i am SUPER into and that's a sakunami/shibayama switch for the prince and the pauper!! sakunami would be the prince and shibayama would be the pauper, and this would follow the part of the barbie movie where the pauper person falls for a visiting prince, who in this case would be lev. and when sakunami switches to the pauper life, he meets the one and only koganegawa kanji!! tbh this one wouldn't really do the whole "royal goes missing and you must take their place", i'd probably adjust some of the plot for it to be something else

BUT if we wanted to follow the movie EXACTLY, then i am SUPER SUPER into it being yahaba shigeru and numajiri rintarou, mostly because i think it'd be REALLY funny. so in this one numajiri would be the prince and rather than a tutor, he has kyoutani kentarou as his personal aide/guard. and when jiri goes missing, kyoutani recruits yahaba to replace him!! the only problem is that kyoutani and yahaba have such a hard time getting along LMFAO, so it's a struggle to keep up the image when they're at each other's throats so often (and then they fall in love anyways). meanwhile, jiri has been kidnapped but escapes and meets asamushi kaito and crew. i haven't quite figured out asamushi's role in all this yet, but i adore asajiri and i really wanted to include them somehow LMAO

so there you have it!! i'm very fond of both and if i were to write them i'd probably do one that's like . . . typical fantasy setting like the movie and the other a modern kind of thing, so that way they're not TOO similar LMAO. tbh you could probably do even MORE versions (semi and suga, iwa or mattsun or akaashi, so many buzzcut characters??) but i love the ones i have right now

altho. semi and suga would make an EXCELLENT duo for this . . .
