Becoming A Purple People Eater……….
Goodbye to the Blue Belt and Hello to the Responsibility……..
Tumblr media
On December 9. 2023, it happened. The moment I dreamed of and the moment I feared all at once. Class was over and they sent us to sit. There’s anticipation in the air. Everyone is wondering why we are being directed to sit. This is jiu jitsu after all and promotions tend to come in seasons. My time had already come in September, I received my third stripe on my blue belt. I was happy as could be with that particular stripe because I know they judge harshly at my gym nothing is given, everything earned. I learned this the hard way being wondering aloud if my third stripe on my belt is the result of nepotism. When I made this statement on my blog I was told, with no hesitation or confusion, that I was not above the art. That my professor/ great friend does not care about my feelings above the art. That nothing was ever given without being earned that he wouldn’t tarnish the brand of the gym or the art itself to protect my feelings from how badly I suck. So, with that said I wasn’t due in my opinion.
Now when promotions are announced there is always an air of, who’s due? Who’s ready? And, this guy is long overdue. I love promotion day. Not because of me improving or expecting a promotion. I secretly enjoy being undervalued. I like sandbagging. I like being undersold. I like underselling and over delivering. I love to see promotions because I feel like in the gym on those mats is the only place where hard work is actually acknowledged, where putting in the work is a real thing. Where someone comes to test them against genuine resistance and see where they are. They are hard fought and rarely are they given without them being truly deserving.
Tumblr media
With all of this said I was not overdue. I was not ready. I wasn’t not “sandbagging,” I was a decent blue belt. Now when someone gets promoted a bit early like myself they often say, “they will grow into the belt.” Well, I’m in my growing phase. This belt has a lot of stigma to it if the YouTube videos I watch are to be believed. The clichés you hear are this, “this is the first advanced belt,” “a modern-day purple belt is as good as a 1990s black belt because the game has expanded so much,’ or my favorite cliché, which is, “if the professor gives you a purple belt that means he believes one day you will receive your black belt.” Well if those things are to be believed then I am feeling the pressure. There’s level to this game. Some purple belts can consistently submit black belts when they are elite at some aspect of their game, let’s say something like leglocks. Some purple belts compete frequently and are superior athletes. Then there’s me chubby 40-year dad of 2 with a job who works a lot of overtime. I also have an ego. I like to win and do well as much as anyone. So, there is that desire and drive to improve because for once something is actually expected of me. Here’s what my best is for what happened……
Tumblr media
I went on a jiu jitsu retreat by a miracle. Someone couldn’t make it and I was allowed to take their spot. It was an incredible experience. I did miss my family but the trip was unbelievably worth it. Amazing food, people and experiences so much wildlife. Most importantly while I was there I got to experience rolling with my professor for the first time. It went exactly as expected. He destroyed me with such ease it felt like we weren’t doing the same martial art. I was dying and he was relaxed just moving and playing. I have no idea what he saw during that roll. I have no idea what he saw in me upon return from Costa Rica either but he felt I was working and decided it was time. How in the hell am I going to question him? I am unworthy of questioning his judgment at all so here I am with the weight of his decision looking into the future, hoping to never disappoint him. That’s the pressure or purple and role I have as a 40-year old.
Tumblr media
Then there’s the role I love, the teacher. I love when I understand something really well and can explain it proficiently. Now, I have no illusions of owning a school one day. I don’t plan on being a legendary competitor that began in his 40s somehow. I don’t have a wrestling background no matter how much I wish I did. No judo and I’m not Brazilian. My whole goal is to one day be good enough to teach. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. I’m returning from injury and being out for 6 weeks. So, here I am returning to the mats after a hiatus ready to get after it. Looking to get better, looking to not be someone’s rest round, looking to be worthy of the belt. Brown is off in the distance, I am not in any rush. So, let’s lift up our glasses and toast to purple.

Physical Fitness and Military Training: The Core of Maharashtra’s Defense Academies
Tumblr media
Physical fitness and military training play roles, in shaping the defenders of our nation. In Maharashtra defence academies are more than institutions; they are crucibles where young individuals undergo experiences that mould them into strong disciplined and resilient individuals ready to serve their country with unwavering dedication. Among these academies Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan stands out by emphasising the role of fitness in the overall development of its cadets.
The Significance of Physical Fitness:
Physical fitness serves as the foundation for any training program. It goes beyond appearance and encompasses strength, endurance, agility and mental toughness. The defense academies in Maharashtra understand that a fit and healthy body is not just desirable but necessary for soldiers who may face challenging and demanding environments. Physical fitness enhances the effectiveness and operational capability of our forces.
Military Training; Going Beyond Physicality:
Military training extends beyond exercises; it takes a holistic approach to instill discipline, leadership skills, teamwork abilities and a strong sense of duty. The defense academies, in Maharashtra acknowledge the importance of nurturing rounded individuals who possess not physical capabilities but also mental resilience and moral integrity.
Cadets undergo training programs that equip them with the skills to overcome challenges, foster strategic reasoning and demonstrate unwavering dedication to the principles of honor, courage and duty.
Maharashtra’s Defense Academies: A Breeding Ground for Future Leaders:
Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan, one of Maharashtra’s prominent defence academies, stands as a testament to the state’s commitment to producing exceptional leaders for the armed forces. The academy places a strong emphasis on physical fitness, viewing it as the bedrock upon which the character and capabilities of its cadets are built.
The academy’s approach to military training integrates physical fitness seamlessly into its curriculum. Cadets are exposed to a variety of physical challenges, ranging from obstacle courses to endurance training, ensuring they develop the stamina and resilience required for the demands of military service. This comprehensive training regimen at Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan ensures that cadets not only meet the physical standards but exceed them, setting a benchmark for excellence.
Conclusion: In conclusion, physical fitness and military training are inseparable elements in the journey of preparing individuals for the challenges of defence service. Maharashtra’s defence academies, with Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan at the forefront, understand the importance of cultivating not just strong bodies but disciplined minds and resilient spirits. As the cadets’ graduate from these institutions, they carry with them the legacy of rigorous training, a commitment to service, and a profound sense of duty towards their nation. Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future defenders of Maharashtra and, by extension, the entire nation. Through its dedication to physical fitness and military training, the academy stands as a beacon of excellence, producing leaders who are not only physically fit but also mentally and morally prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.

Writing Weapons (7): Unarmed Combat (Hand-to-Hand Fighting)
In a fight situation with no weapons, characters will stick with the kind of fighting they're familiar with: grappling or striking.
Grappling
Martial arts: judo, wrestling aikido, jiu jitsu, sambo, lucha libre, glima
Suitable for: entertaining fight scenes
Aim in lethal fight: chock or strangle
Words to use: grapple, wrestle, twist, pull, pin, roll, throw, toss, squeeze, press, chock, strangle
Holding the opponents down to the floor is called a "pin"
Striking
Martial arts: boxing, kick-boxing, karate, muay thai, capoeira, taekwondo
Suitable for: entertaining or gritty fights
Aim in lethal fight: blow to head
Words to use: strike, hit, box, kick, punch, chop, slap, kick, chop, hammer, pound
Mixing Martial Arts
Some martial arts combine grappling and striking techniques.
A skilled martial artist is probably an expert in eiher striking or grappling, but also has basic skills in the other.
Easier to stick with one group for one character - the hero's friends can complement each other if they have different martial art backgronds!
Investing a Fantasy Martial Art
Spiritual Elements connected to the general magic/religious system of your story world.
Mental Focus that allows the martial artist to amplify the effectiveness of attacks.
Small rituals, like bowing to the guru before and after every fight to obtain some kind of "blessing"
Restricted admission to pretigious martial arts academies
Specialist techniques that require combining physical action with spells, or a symbolic act that activates magic.
Exams: students must prove themselves through a series of tough (life threatening) tests to obtain access to the most important lessens of the practice.
Special garmetns
Secret codes between members
Winning Factors
Skill - the most important. A skilled fighter can take on someone who is much larger than them, but unskilled.
Size
Ruthlessness
If you like my blog, buy me a coffee☕ and find me on instagram! 📸

Ride 793.5: Nogawa-san guesses right!!
Tumblr media
Pag 1
1: Unfortunately, today is raining
As you know, this is the Kanogawa stationery shop near Hakone Academy
2: I'm the shopkeeper, Togawa Koujiro (42)
As expected, even this store that's usually packed with customers, has little customers when it rains
3: Huuh, I stocked up on kappas and umbrellas, but it was forecast to rain since morning, so I guess everyone brought rain gear, huh
4: On rainy days like this
5: I always think about that student
Tumblr media
Pag 2
1: One year ago
Waaa
2: Ah, welcome!!
3: Excuse me.... please let me shelter here from the rain for a bit
Yes, no problem!!
4: He takes shelter from the rain → he looks around the shop while waiting → he unintentionally finds something he wants → he buys it
It's happened quite often after all
Please take your time (to look around my store)!!
5: The boy who visited my shop that day....
You're all wet, do you want a towel?
7: He was especially
Tumblr media
Pag 3
1: huge!!
Waaaaa-!!
2: Ah is that okay? Thank you so much!
You-you're so tall, are you 190cm!? How tall are you!?
3: 2m!! A person 2m tall!!
4: Well
No well, congratulation... do I congratulate you?
5: Now that I think about it, the other day those first year girls were talking about a senpai who was especially tall!!
6: Is it this guy!? After all he is so tall that it looks like he could hit the ceiling!!
Ouch
He hit it right away!!
Tumblr media
Pag 4
1: Well, do you want to take a seat?
2: Thank you....
He's about the same height as me when he's sitting down!!
4: I don't know why but that time
5: I wondered what club that guy
6: with a mysterious and gentle personality was in? I wanted to play a guessing game!!
7: The rules are simple, I can't ask “what club are you in”
I'll guess with a few questions
Who guesses correctly with fewer questions wins!!
I accept the challenge!!
(Nogawa-san who was so bored because of the rain and so he played two roles)
Tumblr media
Pag 5
1: The qualifiers for the Inter High are getting closer, huh?
2: He took the bait!!
3: Huh!! So he's definitely in a sport club!!
Are you going?
4: How many people, who will participate?
5: Yes
With Tou-chan, Yuki-chan, and three other people
6: Tou-chan, Yuki-chan, and three other people!?
With his father and... what!? A girl!?* And three other people- what kind of sport is it!?
(*NdT.: Tou-chan is the nickname Ashikiba has for Izumida, but it also means “dad”; he also calls Yukinari “Yuki-chan” which sounds like a feminine name)
Tumblr media
Pag 6
1: Wait wait wait, that must be what he means
The “father” is his coach!! And “Yuki-chan” must be his manager!!
2: Judo or kendo!! Or maybe karate!! Something like that
3: But in the end it's an individual competition....
5: That's right
6: I succeeded in one go!!
By the way... doesn't that thing you wear get stuffy?
8: Come!! I narrowed it down to “kendo”!! It's a bluff!!
Take the bait!! Take the bait!!
9: Ah.... does it look stuffy to the average person? It's alright, actually
Come!!
Tumblr media
Pag 7
1: It has lots of holes after all
3: I'm definitely right!!
4: My profiling is perfect!!
This stationery shop is a waste of my talents, now I'll move to America and change my career to join the CIA!!
(Nogawa-san is satisfied)
5: Ah, it stopped raining
6: Thank you very much
No no!! I had a good time!!
7: Wait, take this, it's okay, it's okay!!
Huh, an umbrella!?
Tumblr media
Pag 8
3: … no it wasn't an umbrella...
A fencing stick!? Why do you have that!?
4: Somehow I ended up with this while taking shelter from the rain...
The Straw Millionaire!?*
Abs!!
(*NdT.: He's referencing to a Japanese Buddhist folk tale)
5: After a few days he heard some girls talking about it and found out he was actually in the bicycle racing team...
Well... I guess it's for the better that I have this stationer shop then...

If the Call of Duty characters were in the Olympics…
Price would compete in the Modern Pentathlon. As one of the youngest cadets to ever graduate from the Royal Military Academy, John received a well-rounded education that helps him master the multiple sports that comprise the Modern Pentathlon. His experience as a leader and soldier, combined with his innate adaptability, makes him particularly suited for this event. The pentathlon demands a unique combination of physical prowess, tactical decision-making, and mental resilience, all of which are qualities that Price has honed during his military career. Whether it's fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, shooting, or running, Price's ability to perform under pressure and his endless pursuit of excellence would undoubtedly make him a top contender.
Gaz would compete in the Triathlon. With an impressive tolerance for physically and mentally demanding tasks, Kyle is highly skilled at maintaining the right mindset and pushing forward when others would’ve given up long ago. Known for his endurance and adaptability, Gaz’s ability to transition between different skills highlights his speed and agility. The Triathlon, which requires proficiency in swimming, cycling, and running, suits Gaz’s all-around athleticism and mental toughness. His grueling military training and his enjoyment of high-pressure environments have prepared him well to tackle the physical and mental challenges of a multi-sport event. His ability to remain focused on long-term goals and his determination to overcome any obstacle in his path would make him a natural in this demanding endurance competition.
Ghost would compete in Shooting. With his background in marksmanship and sniper training, Simon "Ghost" Riley is well-suited to the sport of shooting. Ghost’s ability to maintain perfect stillness and his sharp, focused sight are critical in competitive shooting, where precision is key. His calm, composed demeanor under pressure—some might even call it “cold”—allows him to block out distractions and shoot with deadly accuracy. Years of sniper training in the SAS have conditioned Ghost to thrive in situations where split-second decisions mean the difference between success and failure. His ability to remain collected in high-stakes situations would serve him well in the Olympic shooting events, where patience is just as important as physical skill.
Soap would compete in Judo. Having spent his younger years as a goalkeeper in football (soccer), Soap developed the agility, balance, and quick reflexes essential for Judo. Judo is a sport where competitors always have to be thinking one step ahead of their opponent, and Soap has proven himself to be a smart tactician, willing to take risks. His background in the SAS, where he earned a reputation for his speed and precision in urban warfare, makes him particularly adept at the grappling techniques and strategic movements required in Judo. Soap’s combative spirit and hands-on approach, coupled with his ability to anticipate and counter his opponent’s moves, would make him a formidable competitor on the mat. His resilience and quick thinking under pressure are exactly what judokas need to excel in this demanding sport.

6. Pisaeng (Be My Favorite)
Tumblr media

5. Tennoji Haru (Trillion Game)
Tumblr media
while Trillion Game is DEFINITELY not BL, but Meguro Ren was in Kieta Hatsukoi so my boy should get a PASS 😤 Haru is confident yet humble, self-proclaimed selfish yet always selfless. god i love competent men *swoons* Trillion Game is out on Netflix, please check out my boy Haru and his boy(friend) Gaku and their start-up adventure together 🥺👉👈.

Tumblr media
you don't understand how obsessed i am with the og golden retriever, nation's boyfriend, Tangmo. it's been 4? years... i have not let him go... gentle soft boi but great at judo too? i think Tangmo and i should have our wrestling sessions ending up as makeout sessions.

1. Khun Yai and Jom (I Feel You Linger In The Air)
Tumblr media
if i don't have a gentle lover like Khun Yai Kritsada Palathip or a soft boyfriend like Jom Ravit Pittayanan then what's the POINT. i want both of them so BAD. also isn't it such a crime that Yai lives his entire life the rest of his live in celibacy, having fucked only ONE person (the love of his life) in his lifetime. LET ME IN. i will love both of you equally.
+ bonus: Chef Guy (Bake Me Please)
Tumblr media
did you REALLY think i was gonna end my list without current loml, our resident sad boi, considerate and caring Chef Guy? 😅 Guy deserves a spot on here because well i'm absolutely feral for this man. Guy is just the nicest guy and i will literally do anything for him. Guy had me at hello but my heart truly broke when he comforted Peach saying he doesn't want to see Peach who's given him so much positivity, cry 😭.
oooooh that was soooo hard ;_; i love all these characters, maybe one day i need to start listing the female characters i'd totally hypothetically bang too because WOMEN ARE HOT 🔥.

i think something fascinating is how nendou is supposed to be too dumb to notice anything but really? a lot of times he does notice quite a lot (especially when it's about Saiki), he just tends to either not question it, or drops it as soon as Saiki or someone else disagrees.
Like when Saiki was standing up for him when he was accused of stealing his classmate's purses, Nendou *knew* Saiki was somehow involved simply because he saw him stare angrily at Takahashi.
When Saiki's dad was replacing Saiki at the surprise party, or Toritsuka was standing in for him, Nendou was always the first to notice.
It's also interesting how he always manages to happen to be helpful to Saiki in a way? His likeability has to drop? Let's give him a hug. There's too much attention on Saiki bc he was good at judo? Nendou makes it so all the attention is on himself. There's bugs in Saiki's house? Well good that bug-crushing Nendou is there! The Newspaper Club bothers Saiki? Well...Nendou at least tries to get rid of him. A literal bookshelf falls on Saiki? Nendou takes the hit for him AND THEN ASKS HIM IF HE'S OK.
And as much as Saiki acts all disgusted, he does see the good in him. The first thing Saiki does when Saiko is about to leave is get Nendou to talk to him bc he knows he's good tlat that sort of stuff. When those girls are inviting him on a fake date Saiki WRITES HIM A SWEET NOTE bc he doesn't want it to break his heart.
I just-
i can't ok-
too many feelings-
I've been looking at this ask for hours I just keep coming back and reading it again.
nendo truthers we are so valid and also honorary members of PK academy
but also. YES ALL OF THIS. I've been SAYING nendo may be book dumb but he has high stat in wisdom. part of the reason why I ship him and saiki is bc they compliment each other that way. like saiki is a genius, but he's also a dumbass. he (despite literally reading minds) just doesn't really GET people. he goes about trying to be normal in the least normal way. and then nendo will not know basic math but still say the most beautiful and profound things when only mildly provoked. I'm too tired to cite sources rn but if anyone else has screenshots to hand. gimme.
anyway. I literally have a one shot in the works about this topic. just nendo dropping some sweet words of wisdom on saiki without even really realising how sage and intelligent he's being and saiki's life being forever changed (for the better) by it. thank u <3

Star Trek TNG and DS9 Crew Olympics
The summer Olympics sports each main crew member would be best at or most interested in. (Taken from the official 2024 sports list).
TNG
Jean-Luc Picard - Fencing (While he likes horses, this is clearly his favorite activity, and I don't see him wanting to really train a horse for all that).
William Riker - Beach Volleyball (He'd go for something team-oriented and this suits his casual fun-loving vibe).
Data - Climbing (The blend of physical ability and mental calculations would appeal most to him).
Geordi LaForge - Athletics Running (Seriously, LeVar Burton was a ridiculously speedy runner with any distance and ground, that I've worked it into my fics as a Geordi trait).
Beverly Crusher - Road Cycling (Something with a steady endurance feels right for her).
Worf - Athletics Hammer Throw/ Shot Put/ Javelin (Something to show off his strength and physical ability while keeping his probable feelings of not wanting to accidentally hurt anyone).
Deanna Troi - Artistic Swimming (Feels very "pretty" and also somewhat unusual).
DS9
Benjamin Sisko - Wrestling (Captain of the Starfleet Academy wrestling team).
Kira Nerys - Shooting (Give her a gun and targets, she'll be perfectly happy).
Jadzia Dax - Judo (She'd love to throw people around and maybe be thrown around herself).
Julian Bashir - Triathlon (Tennis is the obvious choice, but I think he'd like to push himself with running/swimming/biking).
Miles O'Brien - Canoe/Kayak (He loves doing this so much he keeps wrecking his shoulder).
Odo - Rowing (Relates to his kayaking outings with Miles, but also appeals to his sense of orderliness).
Ezri Dax - Rhythmic Gymnastics (Something fun and playing into her physique).
Feel free to add on with your thoughts and for other crews!

The Griffin Scouts was an idea of Actius. He manages the club activities and schedules, and he also manages the griffins used for the scouting team.
The griffins are not like horses, they have a more high standard when it comes to people riding them. Only senior members of the club who has earned a number of badges to receive their senior badge could only ride griffins. Elu and Briar are two of the few who have senior badges. No one owns the griffins, they are called in the summer and autumn for the scout club activities and when winter rolls in, Actius lets them go to migrate to a warmer climate.
Novice scouts are the ones who have to get community service badges, expert scouts have to survive in the wilderness and learn secret codes and symbols to get badges and become senior scouts when they have a certain number of badges and have completed the griffin test. It's when the scout stands a meter away from a griffin flock and have a griffin approach them and offer them a feather as a sign of mutual respect and that they are a worthy rider.
Actius is still stern but a bit more hands on with his teaching, he will show the students how to properly tie a certain rope knot or how to pitch a tent. Even the griffin scout cookie sale was also being taught by him, his cookie recipe is to die for.

The Rigorous Physical Training Cadets Undergo to secure us.
Tumblr media
Military academies have a known reputation for shaping individuals into disciplined leaders by providing an education. An integral part of this journey is the physical training that cadets undergo. In this blog post we will delve into the importance and impact of the training regimens that shape both the bodies and minds of future military leaders.
Physical Fitness as the Foundation:
Physical fitness is not merely an aspect of life within the military; it serves as the foundation upon which a cadet’s capabilities are built. Institutions like Trimurti Pawan Pratishtan understand that having a healthy body is crucial in meeting the demands of service. As such rigorous physical training becomes a part of their routine serving as a cornerstone in shaping their experiences.
Discipline Through Physical Challenges:
The demanding physical training routines implemented in academies serves a purpose. Beyond improving fitness, they instil a sense of discipline. Cadets learn lessons in punctuality, commitment and perseverance as they navigate through workouts obstacle courses and endurance drills. Each push up completed, and every mile run becomes an opportunity to develop resilience and mental fortitude.
Varied Training Approaches:
The physical training programs offered by academies are designed with an approach, in mind. Cadets engage in a range of activities during their training, which includes exercises strength workouts, agility drills and team oriented tasks. This diverse training regimen aims to enhance not their strength but also their agility, flexibility and ability to work effectively as a team. All vital qualities, for success, in the field.
Endurance and Mental Toughness:
Military life often demands physical endurance and mental toughness in adverse conditions. The rigorous training cadets undergo prepares them for the challenges they may face during their service. Whether it’s enduring long marches, carrying heavy backpacks, or navigating challenging terrains, physical training hones the cadets’ ability to persevere under pressure.
Team Building through Physical Challenges:
Many physical training activities in military schools are designed to foster teamwork and camaraderie among cadets. Through collaborative efforts in obstacle courses or group exercises, cadets learn the importance of mutual support and effective communication — skills vital for any military operation where teamwork is key to success.
Leadership Development:
Physical training is not just about building individual strength; it is a crucial component of leadership development. As cadets progress through challenging physical regimens, they learn to lead by example, inspire their peers, and make quick decisions in high-pressure situations. These experiences on the training ground lay the groundwork for effective leadership in the field.
Beyond the Physical:
While the physical benefits are evident, the impact of rigorous training extends beyond the physical realm. Cadets develop mental resilience, a sense of purpose, and a heightened self-discipline that serves them well in all aspects of life. The lessons learned during physical training become ingrained in their character, shaping them into well-rounded individuals.
Conclusion:
The rigorous physical training that cadets undergo in military schools is not just about building strong bodies; it is about forging resilient, disciplined, and capable leaders. Trimurti Pawan Pratishtan and similar institutions recognize the transformative power of physical training, weaving it into the fabric of their holistic education. As cadets sweat, push their limits, and overcome challenges, they emerge not only physically fit but also mentally prepared to face the demands of military service and leadership. The crucible of physical training in military schools is where character is honed, and leaders are forged.

Fanfic Preview: The Wild Wind And The Scarlet Sea Part 6
Hey, haven't done a preview in a bit, so here's a snippet of the next chapter of my Ranma and Sailor Moon crossover fic.
It didn’t take too long for the five of them to make their way to the campsite and sneak up to the main building, where loud sounds of combat could be heard. “What’s going on in there?” Usagi asked. It only took a few seconds for Makoto to fully recognize the noises. “Pretty sure that’s martial arts sparring,” she stated, making sure to keep the excitement out of her voice as much as possible. Apparently it didn’t work very well as Usagi nudged her in the side. “Ah, see? Aren’t you glad we decided to come here after all?” she said with a smug grin. “Eh, it’s not that big of a deal,” Makoto casually said, “but, we should probably check it out anyway.” She very nonchalantly rushed through the hallway to a door where the sounds were coming from, the other girls arriving close behind. They all took a peek inside, finding a large gymnasium-like area with a bunch of Mugen Academy students in white gis. And right in the center were two students having a judo match. One of whom, right in the process of throwing the other over his shoulder, was very familiar.   “Oh crap, it’s Haruka,” Minako whispered. “Dangit, the one hottie I didn’t want to run into.” “Right, we should get out of here before he spots us,” Ami said, a noticeable bit of nervousness leaking through her voice. “Why do we need to do that?” Usagi innocently asked. “Hey, if he’s here, does that also mean…” She leaned in more and whipped her head around checking the entire room. “Usagi, we need to go!” Rei hissed out. “Hey Makoto, what are you doing, come on!” The brunette wasn’t really listening though. She was too focused on watching the blond’s fighting techniques. Something about them sparked an itch of familiarity in her mind. She also couldn’t help but notice how the bright fluorescent lights gave the boy’s hair a slight reddish sheen. It was an interesting detail, but for some reason, it felt like it was important. Why did- “Enjoying the show, ladies?” With several yelps of surprise, all five of them found themselves collapsed in a pile right in the doorway. Looking up, Makoto saw the aquamarine haired Michiru standing in the hallway wearing a cream colored gi of her own and looking down on them with an amused expression on her face.  “Huh? What’s going on?” Haruka called out. Michiru hummed and responded in a slightly sing-song tone. “Oh, nothing much. Just some hikers that seemed to have wandered their way in.” “What? Oh, bunhead!” Haruka had a look on his face as though he suddenly remembered something, although it quickly shifted to his own amused expression. “So you girls are doing some camping, huh? Or did you decide to hike all the way up here to check out my awesome training skills?” Makoto growled and scrambled to her feet. “For your information, we’re doing some training of our own on this mountain!” A cocky smirk grew on the boy’s face. “Oh, well in that case how ‘bout a nice little judo spar. That is, if you think you’re actually up for it, short stuff.” “Short stuff?!” Makoto’s eye began to twitch. How dare this jerk, just because he happened to be a little bit taller than her. She was well above average height for a girl her age, even more so when she chose to ignore certain countries in the world. Stupid Sweden. “Yeah, I’m totally up for kicking your scrawny little car driving butt. Bring it on!”
It only took a few minutes for Makoto to get ready, changed into a gi and standing opposite the smug jerk. Even after the call to begin was made, Haruka just stood in place with an expectant look on his face, which only pissed her off even more. Alright, time to show pretty boy just what a Sailor Senshi can do. In a flash, she rushed into his defenses and got a hard grip on his gi. Ha! This is too- Makoto blinked and looked up at the ceiling, her mind still processing just how fast she was countered and hip tossed onto the lightly padded mats. Before she could react, Minako and Ami were at her side and slowly helping her up. “What is wrong with you?” Minako yelled at Haruka. “She could have been really injured. How dare you treat a girl so harshly” “If she can’t handle a simple throw like that, then it’s her problem,” Haruka shot back, a scowl on his face. “It has nothing to do with being a guy or a girl. If you really are strong enough, then none of that should matter.” Makoto growled as she shook her friends off and got to her feet, taking a couple of seconds to steady herself. “Oh yeah? Try me again and I’ll show you just how strong I am!” Haruka was about to step forward again when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. “Now, now,” Michiru said in a sweet, almost chastising tone, “I do believe that it’s my turn now.” “Really? You?” Makoto regretted the words the instant they left her lips. Dammit, sure the girl was a concert violinist, but she of all people understood that strength and femininity were not incompatible things. Michiru’s serene mask cracked for just a moment. “Oh, is it really that much of a surprise?” “No, of course not!” Makoto quickly realized just how much of a verbal landmine she just stepped on, and started to wave her hands in front of her in a warding gesture. “I’d love to have a spar, and I can definitely tell that you’re a martial artist too!” Haruka started to snicker, but was quickly silenced by Michiru not so lightly elbowing him in the side, although his amused smile didn’t drop. “Very well.” The calm expression was back on Michiru’s face as she tilted her head slightly as though a thought just occurred to her. “How about we try something other than judo this time?” “Uh, sure,” Makoto hesitantly responded, put off guard by the aquamarine haired girl’s demeanor, but still determined to prove herself. “Do you know kempo?” “Oh, a little.” Michiru flashed a ghost of a smile as she gave an unreadable look over to Haruka, who raised an eyebrow. Makoto smiled and gave a nod. “Okay, then maybe I can teach you a few things.” “Oh yes,” Michiru responded. “I’m very much looking forward to this lesson.”

PHOENIX AU: Fun Facts
hey y’all, sorry for being MIA. I got sick when I went on vacation but I’m home now! No idea how frequently I will be posting but I will be spending the next several months forcing myself to write so yeehaw. Anyway here’s some PHOENIX fun facts about some characters from my fanfiction lifeblood (PHOENIX: A Pro Hero Toya Todoroki AU) that I posted on my Instagram @the_sakura_garnet a while back
(includes some references to BNHA OC's that I have that are in PHOENIX and it's prequel)
MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY
PHOENIX AU Toya Todoroki Fun Facts
Miyuki Sero made a bet with him during their second year involving Everclear, and it's the closest Toya's ever come to getting alcohol poisoning. Miss Kaminari forced him to clean the common room for two months as punishment
He can do the entire Ludacris rap in "Baby" by Justin Bieber
Has only cried a handful of times because of movies. Most of those times have been movies he's watched with his sister. But he'll never admit it
He and Natsuo crashed a sled into their father's car one winter, and proceeded to blame five year old Shoto for it...who was inside...with Enji...the entire time.
He has keyed the cars of all his sister's exes
PHOENIX AU Keigo Takami Fun Facts
Has sponsors from literally every place that sells chicken, but KFC is his place of choice
For one of their first dates, Keigo forced Toya to come along on a search for the "perfect chicken tender" where they ordered from every place and they ranked all of them. Led to a lot of arguments that left both of them crying from laughing so hard about how passionate the other was about their opinion
He owns several matching/complementing outfits with Rumi from their shopping spree days at the academy, and some of them are dresses
If he has the AUX there will be Broadway tunes, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, or classic rock ONLY. With minimal exceptions
He's always playing "I Wanna Party" from Rio unironically when he's getting ready in the morning and has developed a whole song and dance routine to it. occasionally, Toya will do the second verse if he's awake and Rue will do the female vocals. There have been several early dance parties at the PHOENIX Agency, and it's a pain for collaborating heroes when they have to travel team-up for missions
PHOENIX AU Rumi Usagiyama Fun Facts
She's a black belt in taekwondo, judo, Krav Maga, and generally kicking ass (BONUS: She has a trophy that says "best at kicking ass" that Toya had made for her as a birthday gift)
She feels guilty for being cold and mean to Toya for so long before they became friends, but she doesn't know how to approach him about it (even though he's left that all behind and doesn't hold it against her)
Her favorite workout playlist artists are Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion
Midnight helped her come to terms with her sexuality with her confidence and unapologetic expression
She's double-jointed, has never taken a steroid (contrary to popular belief in the tabloids), and prides herself on being healthy
PHOENIX AU Ryuko Tatsuma Fun Facts
Her mother used to make her do beauty pageants/contests, and she would win flawlessly every time
She was born into a very wealthy family, but ironically didn't let her riches go to her head until reaching fame
During school, she occasionally ate edibles to calm her nerves as she would obsess over her grades, which is why her parties always had them
She constantly showers Rumi with extravagant gifts, but Rumi considers Ryuko the greatest gift of all
(Not so fun fact and SPOILER) she left Rumi for Uwabami when she dumped her in Chapter 40
PHOENIX AU Shinji Nishiya Fun facts
During their entire first year, Shinji was absolutely terrified of Toya because of their Quirk incompatibility (fire and wood don't mix)
He secretly had a slight crush on Rumi for a couple years, which is another reason why Yu never liked Rumi
He and Amari used to make conspiracy boards in the common room whenever they got high
He has acted as a getaway driver for a number of Toya's antics (he's the only person that doesn't make Toya carsick when he drives)
He scored the highest in Hero/Civilian/Villain Psychology during their Second and Third Years
