#nanami and rinko

[siriuslysatorusimping]

What is Kurisaki Rinko to you?

I DID IT. I WROTE IT. I FOUND SOME INSPIRATION FAIRIES AND KNOCKED THIS OUT. THANK YOU TO THE ANON WHO ASKED THIS QUESTION.

Pre-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He raised his eyebrows at the question.

“Huh?” he asked, grasping his chin lightly. “Kurisaki-chan? Strong sorcerer. Lives up to the Special Grade 1 rank easily. Great person. Probably the best person I know, actually. She looks out for the people she cares about, especially her students. Best teacher Kyoto ever had.” He smirked slightly. “One of the only people to catch me by surprise, land a hit. A menace, really. A good friend. One- my best friend. She’s my best friend.”

Nanami Kento

A deep sigh escaped his lips, his brow furrowed in clear irritation.

“Annoying,” he replied, his monotone voice almost sounding amused. “But I trust her. She’s stronger than she thinks she is, and I would trust her with my life. She’s also one of the only jujutsu sorcerers I respect, even though she’s probably crazier than most. She’s also an incredible teacher. Her students have always loved her. I got to see that first-hand.” He cleared his throat, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “And a dear friend. She’s a very dear friend.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He scowled at the question, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

“A lot of people think you could pass for being her kid since you look similar-”

“She’s not my mom,” he snapped, his scowl deepening. “She’s my cousin. She’s taught me a lot—more than Gojo-sensei has. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Maki

Her eyes narrowed at the question before she shrugged.

“We’re related,” she stated. “She took me in when I ran away from my shit family. She’s done a lot for me. Helped me in more ways than I can say.” The teen gripped the kendo sword in her hands tightly. “She’s taught me more than anyone else. Not just about being a jujutsu sorcerer, either. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Mai

Suspicion filled the girl’s expression for a moment.

“Why do you wanna know?” she asked, crossing her arms defensively. “She’s- we’re distantly related. She taught me when she was at Kyoto Tech. And-” she trailed off, a frown pulling at her lips, “she’s looked out for me. Always tries to make sure to check in on me. She cares. She’s a great- she’s the best teacher I’ve ever had.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

“Rinko-san is amazing!”

They’d barely finished the question before the teenager answered, sounding overly enthusiastic.

“She’s really kind,” he continued excitedly. “She always checks on me to ask me how I’m doing. She’s strong enough to trick Gojo-sensei. She landed a hit on him, which I haven’t really seen anyone else do before. She’s a great teacher, too. I learned a lot from her about cursed energy when she taught us last year.”

Inumaki Toge

He grinned widely, shrugging.

“Tuna mayo,” he stated.

“Is- that good?”

“Salmon,” he replied, his grin widening. “Tuna mayo.”

Itadori Yuuji

He shrugged slightly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“I- don’t know Rinko-san that well,” he admitted. “But Nanamin respects her a lot. Gojo-sensei likes her, too. Fushiguro won’t admit it, but he kinda drifts towards her when she’s around. She’s really nice. One of the nicest people I’ve met besides Gojo-sensei. And she’s a really good teacher. Fushiguro and Zenin-san learned from her, I think.”

Kugisaki Nobara

The girl shrugged absently.

“I don’t really know her that well,” she admitted, tilting her head to the side. “She seems cool. Maki-san likes her a lot. She does spend a lot of time with that blindfolded idiot, though. But she’s a good teacher, from what Maki-san says.”

Todo Aoi

The boy smirked easily, chuckling under his breath.

“A strong sorcerer,” he asserted. “One of the strongest you’ll meet, though she doesn’t see it that way. She- she’ll do anything to protect the people she cares about, especially us. Kurisaki-sensei is an incredible teacher.”

Post-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He squinted at them, scowling at the question.

“You mean Gojo Rinko?” he asked, his scowl growing when they just shrugged. “I convinced her to marry me, ya know. I’m her husband-”

“Fine,” they sighed, exasperated. “What is Gojo Rinko to you?”

A smug grin pulled at his lips now.

“My best friend,” he declared proudly. “The strongest woman I’ve ever known. The only person who puts up with me without complaining.” He paused, his grin widening until he looked like a dopey puppy. “The love of my life. She’s the most incredible person I know, and I- wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her. She’s the most important person in my life.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He cleared his throat uncomfortably, shuffling his feet.

“She’s- my cousin." He rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. “She- she’s always been there for me. One of- one of the most important people in my life. I- I don’t know if I’d be here if it weren’t for her.”

Zenin Maki

She gave a nonchalant shrug, looking bored.

“My cousin,” she replied easily, staring at them calmly. “She’s taught me a lot. Took me in when I needed to get away from the clan. Always-” the teen paused, releasing a quiet sigh, “never- got upset with me when I was angry. And- she really tried to look out for me and my sister. One of the most important people in my life.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

His brow furrowed slightly as he thought.

“Rinko-san is one of the strongest people I know,” he stated firmly, nodding to himself. “She cares a lot about all of us, too. Looks out for us so much, making sure we’re all okay. Even though she knows we can take care of ourselves, she checks on us and makes sure we’re okay. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Inumaki Toge

“Tuna mayo!” he exclaimed, grinning widely.

“That’s- that’s still a good thing, right?”

“Salmon!”

“Can I get some of those flashcards you gave her-?”

Itadori Yuuji

“She’s our new Principal,” he stated, smiling slightly. “She was someone Nanamin had a lot of respect for, and she clearly cared about him, too. She’s really strong, but she pushes herself too much. I think- I think she does it for us. To try to protect us. She and Gojo-sensei are really similar in that way. She cares about us a lot. She- I don’t remember my mom, but she kinda reminds me of a mom. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Kugisaki Nobara

She gave a careless shrug.

“I honestly still don’t know her all that well,” the girl admitted. “But she’s really strong. Special Grade 1’s aren’t really something to mess with. She’s our new Principal, and she’s doing a really good job so far. I don’t think there could have been a better choice for it. She still spends too much time with that blindfolded idiot, though. Can’t believe she decided to marry a guy like him, but they seem happy I guess?”

Ino Takuma

He rubbed the back of his neck.

“I, ah, don’t know Kurisaki-san that well,” he admitted uneasily.

Gojo Satoru’s voice chimed from somewhere in the distance, “It’s Gojo Rinko now-!”

“But Nanami-san had a lot of respect for her, and they were really good friends.” Ino swallowed thickly. “She- asked me to teach here at Tokyo Tech after she became the Principal. She said Nanami-san would approve, that he’d be proud to see me helping the next generation of sorcerers. She’s- a really kind person. I’m grateful she decided to give me this chance.”

You can take Toge's responses from my cold, dead hands.

Did you guys like the two different themes? I thought it'd be cool to have the pre-Shibuya version focused on them saying she's a good teacher, and then the post-Shibuya version talking about how she's important in their lives 🥹 Notice how Gojo and Megumi said they wouldn't be here without her 🥺🥺

It's also official, Ino will be the new first-year teacher at Tokyo Tech 😊

[girls-band-headcanons]

The universe of Bandori has a higher rate of autism and other kinds of neurodiversity than the real world.

Tae, Moca, Eve, Aya, Maya, Hina, Ako, Rinko, Nanami, Mashiro, Rokka and Tomori are all on the spectrum in one way or another.

Kasumi, Moca, Maya, Hina, Ako, Hagumi, Kokoro, and Chu2 could all have some form of ADHD or ADD.

The reason that a lot of wacky stuff occurs compared to the real world, is that people with ND traits affect the world more, and I mean this in a good way. An example of a thing that only occurs in Bandori is a billionaire girl who cincerely wants to make the world smile. Real billionaires don't work like that :P

Mod Fusion: AGREED! CANON!

[pennieheart]

what’re your top five bandori ships??

Oh my I have been WAITING for someone to ask me this!!!💛💛💛

I ship a LOT of dynamics so it's a little hard to narrow them down but I will do my best!!

1. KokoRinko!!

(edit by bandori_ships on Twitter)

It's honestly a shame that these two don't have much interaction in canon but I daydream about them all the time!! (⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠)

I think they would go through so much character development together. Kokoro would teach Rinko to take life easier and Rinko would teach Kokoro how to slow down her buzzing brain and consider things more carefully! Kokoro being her super extroverted self would also have no problem helping Rinko with moments of social anxiety, like ordering food or asking for help in public!!💛💛

2. HaguKoko!!

I love this ship because it has SO MUCH CONTENT!!! It's a pretty popular ship so there's lots of fan art and it's all soooooo CUTE!!!💛💛💛💛

I also think they're very silly together! Their antics always make me giggle!

3. Poly PoPiPa!!

When I first saw the Bandori anime, I immediately decided all of the girls are in love and they all kiss!!💛💛💛

Kasumi is obviously the glue that holds them together and I think she would've had crushes on everyone, which got the ball rolling on their relationship! I also HC that Saaya initially had a crush on Tae, Tae liked Saaya and Rimi, Rimi liked Kasumi and Saaya, and Arisa had a crush on Kasumi and Tae!

I think their relationship fluctuates from time to time where the girls change who they're primarily dating but they're in a closed quint!

4. NanaRui!!

I love these two because I HC both as autistic and I think they would bond over that a lot!! I love how Nanami teases Rui for being robotic sometimes, it's so cute!! Another thing the girls share is having amazing skill that they feel they can't use in their fullest potential due to obstacles in their way! With Rui it was losing a competition and Nanami hid her artistic talent out of shame of being different! When looking deeper than their external traits, the two girls have SO MUCH in common!!💛💛💛

5. ChisaAyaMaya!!

Sometimes people find ChisaMaya to be controversial because of Pasupa's first band story but I think with the way they all developed as characters and the addition of Aya's genuine sweetness, they would all make a great couple!!💛💛

Chisato definitely plays a big role in boosting Aya and Maya's confidence while they all discover their truest selves! I think Maya first fell in love with Aya, who shared the same feelings but was too nervous to admit them! Chisato brought them together by confessing to both of them, which is when Maya and Aya both confess to each other too! Aya and Maya make Chisato confront a lot of her flaws and insecurities, and through their relationship she becomes an ever better version of herself!! 💛💛💛

Heyya! Can you do Bang dream!Various x gn! reader? A hc like this one https://at.tumblr.com/nian-7/various-characters-x-gnreader-who-fell-first-who/6racvzvdorz1

- Long distance Relationship

- Rival to Lovers

- Unreqeruite Love/Second choice (Yep this Troupe kinda Angst)

If you cant do all band, just Roselia, morfonica, and Afterglow that's okay!

Thanks and Have a great day🥰

hello! please enjoy, anon!

Bang Dream x gn!reader

✧troupes they'd be

✧fluff & bit of angst

Sunshine & Sunshine Protector.

No matter the roles, it is most definitely is wholesome as you can get. It's always so sweet to see the two of you together! You both love each other and honestly it's always the highlight of your days when you end up seeing each other. No matter who's smiling, the other will soon be smiling as well.

-Sunshine: Kokoro, Hagumi, Hina, Kasumi -Sunshine Protector: Misaki, Tomoe, Masuki, Arisa

Long Distance Relationship

No matter the distance, she loves and supports you while you do the same. It really means a lot to her whether it be because you give her confidence in her abilities or just because she finally has someone that she loves, it really means a lot! She would give anything just to see you and finally hug you.

-Toko, Tsukushi, Rinko, Ako, Reona, Maya

Rivals to Lovers

It's all about outdoing you. Doesn't matter what you're doing, she's gotta be better. Or maybe it's one-sided? Maybe she doesn't particularly care about the rivalry and simply goes along with it because she gets to see you.. Whatever the case may be, it's a competition and you're sure you'll win it.

-Ran, Aya, Yukina, Sayo, Chiyu

Unrequited Love

She doesn't reciprocate your feelings. She only sees you as a friend or if you're really unlucky, she doesn't even see you as a friend. It's heartbreaking. You can't let go of your feelings. Not after holding onto them for so long just to have them broken into a million pieces by her answer.

-Moca, Chisato, Rui, Nanami

I was going through my old drafts and found a lil something I thought you guys would enjoy 👀👀

An excerpt from Another Level that could be considered a deleted scene. I might expand on this as a flashback at some point in From Now Until Forever if you guys are interested. I could also try to write an extra instead. Let me know if it's something you'd like to see - and which option you'd prefer - and I could add it to my list! 😊

“Just because I’m not borderline alcoholic does not make me a lightweight,” Rinko scoffed. “Former salaryman over here thinking he’s the shit just because he can drink a liquor store out of business.”

“I’ll have you know,” Nanami said, a small grin in place as she poured herself another glass of wine. “I keep the liquor store in business.”

Rolling her eyes, she peered into the pan on her stove.

“What are you making me?”

“You’ll have to be patient,” he replied, swatting her hand away. “You’ll see when it’s done.”

“It’s my kitchen,” she argued, snatching his glasses in retaliation. “Just tell me-”

“Nope,” he denied, moving her away from the stove and pushing her toward the bar countertop. “Move your ass, Kurisaki.”

Sighing dramatically, she dropped into one of the chairs and sipped her wine as she watched him move around her kitchen.

“Heard they interviewed you for your Black Flash record,” she said after a few minutes of silence. “How’d that go?”

“They asked stupid questions,” he replied drily. He didn't bother looking away from his task. “Asked how I did it, what it felt like, shit like that.”

She snorted, finishing her glass and reaching for the bottle to refill it.

“Because Black Flash is a conscious thing,” she deadpanned, rolling her eyes. “Even Gojo doesn’t know how to repeat it on command. What makes them think you understand it better than Gojo?”

“Like I said, they were stupid questions,” Nanami stated. “You know how they are.”

“I still can’t fucking believe you did it,” she muttered into her glass. “You had the audacity to break my record right after I watched my student die. You’re such a dick.”

“I did hear you mocking me, by the way.” He turned to stare at her now. His eyes held the same sadness she knew reflected in her own, but there was a small smirk pulling at his lips. "During the fight. I heard you being childish."

The squawk she released made his smirk pull into a grin, a chuckle escaping as he turned back to the stove.

-

AN: A lil peek into another one of Rinko and Nanami's infamous dinners from over the years of their friendship. Canonically, Nanami enjoyed cooking, so they would occasionally take turns cooking for their dinners instead of going out! I might work on this more and include it as a flashback in a future part of From Now Until Forever. Or as a standalone extra. Let me know if you guys would like either option!! 😊

✨BanG Dream!!! Girls Band Party: The Best Character Tournament ✨

Here comes the (previously announced) Bandori Character Tournament!

Here are our contestants:

under the cut: explanation of the bracket-making process, poll links

How the bracket was decided:

Following the eurovision semifinals as an example, I put characters in 5 categories, depending their role in the band (mainly to avoid something like a yukiran showoff right in the first round)

I used a random chooser site to decide on the matchups following this method:

firstly, I chose a random number between 1 and 5

depending on that number, I chose a random character from the category numbered with that number

repeated first part, but excluded the category the first character was from

repeated second part

repeated all the previous steps until only 3 characters were left

Once only 3 characters were left, I considered putting them in 1 match together, but then decided it would be more elegant to randomly assign them to one of the already generated matches, following this process:

choose either 1 or 2 to decide which side of the bracket to put them in

then a number between 1 and 8 (for the left side) or 9 and 16 (for the right side)

Poll Links

links will be added and updated as polls are created

Mashiro Kurata Headcanons

(Happy Birthday, Mashiro Kurata!)

1- Physical appearance headcanons: plushy tummy mixed with thin arms and legs, poliosis located near their bangs (although it is barely noticeable, given their natural hair color), partially visually impaired (used to wear an eyepatch at one point in their life, resulting in their chuunibyou phase) and often wears prescription glasses

2- Some kins they have: Yuta Togashi (Chuunibyou), Madotsuki (Yume Nikki), Midori Asakusa (Eizouken)

3- (closeted) Agender, uses any pronouns (but only around the other Morfonica members), and recently learned about and wishes to use neopronouns. They are also the king (/gn) of discreet gender hoarding.

4- I headcanon them to be AuDHD (with a SpIn/hyperfixation on animation, picture books, and mascot characters) and a maladaptive daydreamer (just look at Morfonication), in addition to having social anxiety.

5- Mashiro loves going out on nature walks and just letting their imagination run wild, allowing for Mashiro to get inspired by whatever they happen to encounter, both in their imaginary world and the real world.

6- They are good friends with Misaki, Lisa, and Rinko as fellow craftspeople. Lisa and Mashiro specialize in knitting, Rinko specializes in sewing, and Misaki specializes in felting, and they all help show the ropes of each other's crafts.

7- Even after the Sakura Party event, Mashiro was always unnerved around the steely-eyed Yukina. That is, until they happened to encounter her, while carrying a stuffed cat they recently won from the arcade, which Yukina believed was a real cat and tried to pet, in her cat-induced stupor.

8- While Mashiro is normally insecure in their general skills, if there is one thing that they're confident in, it's crane games. It's as if Mashiro has this innate knowledge of where to strategically lower the crane hand, in order to get even the most hidden of stuffed prizes. Ako and Rokka can always count on Mashiro to successful get whatever prize any of them desire.

9- Mashiro loves to draw, but has never had the confidence to do anything more with it. They have a bunch of elaborate doodles stuffed in their bedroom drawers, doomed to never see the light of day. That is, until Touko and Nanami found the doodles, while hanging out in their room. From that point on, the three became drawing buddies.

10- Even before attending Tsukinomori, Mashiro always struggled with feeling average, and sometimes wished to die their hair or pierce their ears, but always feeling too self-conscious (or scared, in the case of ear-piercing) to ever go through with it. Mashiro sometimes goes around to different clothing stores, only to leave either unsatisfied or embarrassed with the options of styles at hand.
