was inspired by a few other ppl on here to drop some of the kind of cringy tropey lore I made up about these 2,,, mostly how they met n stuff and how I personally see emm.... im v normal about them I prommy

maintagging this perhaps but it's under the read more so if u dgaf u can just look at the silly picture

ok sooo

they meet completely by accident because This Space Kicker In Particular (who I'm calling SK) gets a try again in space soccer and crash lands outside the karate family residence. he's fine though, probably because he's subject to cartoon physics or something (might rewrite this bit of the lore bc it's kinda goofy but it's the first thing I thought of).

v predictably they start out playing soccer together, like they take a ball to the park or whatever n just having a kick around. but they move on to hanging out in a non-soccer context pretty quickly. i imagine sk's really curious to see what earth is like (it's probably his first time there), like he's filled w whimsy and joy just to go to the cafe n stuff :) joe is meeting him behind seniors back!

sk isn't joes only friend - hes friends w yuka n the wandering samurai n a few others, but i don't know if he's actually close with them? partially because he's busy training, partially because he's quite a reserved person, n to me at least I think he struggles a lot with self-doubt/feeling inadequate for anyone around him (partially as a result of the way he was raised). not to get Angsty on main but I think he ascribes wayyy too much of his self worth on his training... I think he has a tendency to try and isolate himself from others, both physically and emotionally

sk is the opposite (tropey ik lmao) - he's v outgoing, silly n carefree almost to the point where he gets on people's nerves sometimes (he's cowboy sk's "annoying little brother" to me). I don't think he fully gets/realises exactly why joe is v reserved but I think he manages to grow close w him in spite of that... idk how to word it. but I think he's such a ray of sunshine he's able to break through whatever exterior joe has put up for himself (ik how cheesy that sounds but yeah)

ive made a post about this before but joe is v v v affection starved (because Basement) and does a terrible job at hiding it to the point where he just melts over the smallest things. sk meanwhile is suuuuuper physically affectionate so yeah

I haven't worked out exactly when this happens but I think they just kinda fall for each other over time, it takes a while for both of them to realise its mutual tho....

joe alsooo gets flustered veryyyy easily (source: karate man 2 ds superb screen). sk probs picks up on this right away lmao

im thinking sk is out here dropping the most obvious hints... but joe refuses to believe that sk would see him in that way. idk he probs does the wildest mental gymnastics assuming that sk is just being nice or it's like,,, a social norm up on his planet lmfao.

but yeah he eventually works it out too in the end... probably partially because he begins to learn to be a bit more confident in himself over time. i think they get to a point where they both v much know it's mutual but r too awkward to do anything about it/don't wanna mess up their close friendship/are too worried about the logistics/implications of living on other planets n senior. so they don't like acc Say anything or whatever for a while. but it's obvious n only gets worse over time lmfao. see the pic above the cut

blehhh silly thought but I hc sk to be besties with 6switcher who I think gets fed up of his shittt... like hes just like "Oh My God Please Just Tell Him. Like Please".

in my mind palace they end up going to the battle of the bands (joes a huge fan of the rockers but he's never been able to see them live before). and ummm after the concert they end up sitting outside live house ogu watching the stars together,,,, and u kno,,,, they kith.... woaw,,,,, but yeah I think because botb is the 1 time in game they "meet" (if u can even call it that) I thought it would be cute if it's where they end up getting together as a couple :)

hmmm like inconsequential shit unrelated to the main story but they find remix 9 cat as a stray kitten at some point during all of this n joe takes it in... i think I could do a follow up post about what happens next in the lore after botb because this is already mega long but they eventually end up living together on sk's planet and the cat comes w them :)

oh adding this on acc after I posted it, but I think when joe meets sk it's like,,, the first time in his life where he hasn't felt lonely...

#punch kick toe #this is v tropey and cringe lmao but i had to share #i havent written any of this down before #posts this and runs away #rhythm heaven #i wanted to give like... context for my drawings of em idk #idk this is just how i see them in my mind palace ymmv #my art #forgot to give it the art tag oopsss #kas' rh rambles

I'm so glad you are performing again!!! It's such a thrilling and nerve racking thing to do. When I used to perform, my favorite thing before the show began was to stand behind the curtain, close my eyes, take three deep breaths, and then just listen to the rustling of the audience. And I'm even more glad that the shows you saw were amazing!!! I'm starting to see more symphony, opera, and musical performances again and it brings me so much joy!

The ending to Chaconne was so beautifully heartbreaking!! Tears were definitely streaming down my face. But I LOVED how Agatha has such a soft spot for kids!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for gifting us with such a magnificent story!! I don't know if your planning on writing more but if you are I will gladly devour any of your works!! ❤️❤️

Hi hi Paganini Anon!!

Thank you so much! I was so nervous to start performing again after not doing it for so long, but it was so incredible. I was so happy afterwards and ahh. My stand partner is my new bestie. He’s so funny, and I was sooooo nervous he didn’t like me but he told me after the concert that I’m a great stand partner and he’s excited to sit together for our concert 😭 I cried!! We love being depressed and getting dopamine from validation. He’s this very eccentric man and I literally want to be his best friend. And his mom was at the concert and she told me she’s been a proud orchestra mom for over 50 years and I almost cried again 😭 Sorry for rambling, it’s just such a nice feeling and I’m just so giddy ahh.

I absolutely love the way you described those feelings before a performance- it’s so powerful and sort of surreal? I feel that there are times where rehearsals can be rough or there’s so much going on that a lot of us miss the joy in actually making music until it’s concert time. And I’m so happy for you! I hope this year brings you all of the live music and entertainment and that you enjoy every minute ✨

Oh my goodness thank you so much!! I know I said this when I replied to a couple other Anon asks but I honestly did cry while writing it. I wanted it to be raw and honest- writing this story has been very cathartic for me (for many different reasons) and I’m sad I keep making you guys cry but that was the goal 😭 Ah I’m really glad you enjoyed the concert scene with the kids! I based that off a concert I attended when I was very very veryyyy young, and seeing a professional symphony, and getting to meet this kind of famous conductor who was so wonderful with our group. He answered all of our questions and showed us how he conducts and it was just one of those core memories when I was deciding on what I wanted to do. It’s kind of silly, but it meant so much to me. He didn’t treat us like we were dumb or anything, he was just really cool and fun and yeah. Funny how life works out sometimes.

Anywho, this is a lot to read so it’s okay if you don’t but thank you so much Paganini Anon 😭 Your support means so much, and I actually do have two more stories planned 👀 I’ll post about that later tho. Thank you as always for the asks and I hope you have a wonderful day! 💜
