Romance Headcanons | Sakuragi Hanamichi

Pairing: Sakuragi Hanamichi x Reader. What its like to date Sakuragi and how he is as a lover.

-Sakuragi is extremely passionate about things.

-His dedication to you can be seen from afar. He's always willing to just be in your personal space, wanting to be around you and do things for you

-I can see him as being a sort of cliche romantic gentleman despite his tough looks, ex. He's always holding your hand, he walks on the outside of the sidewalk, he vows to protect your honor

-He's extremely generous and wants to enjoy life with you.

-Since basketball has become a great love of his, he'd be happy to share it with you. He'd boast about him and his 'genius skills' in order to impress you and he may go a bit overboard with his importance but it's all genuine

-He'd love it if you came to his games, and he'd probably combust if you wore his jersey to support him. Ryota definitely takes a photo of Sakuragi being love struck and sends it to you

-He loudly proclaims that he does his very best with you watching him and that you just add to his genius.

-He sees his partner in a very high light. So they too are a genius just for dating him, a genius.

-It'd be important to him for you to be close to his friends and his team because they're his family

-You're likely to be around Yohei and the Gang a lot. So they act as your entourage sometimes. One of his friends is always around so they can get juicy details on your relationship.

-But they always mean well

-He wants to be perfect for his partner. So he always asks people for advice on how to be a better boyfriend, how to keep surprising you and to keep you happy.

-He's got date advice from everyone on the team. Ayako always manages to help him plan out something thoughtful and Ryota and Mitsui always bicker on who's date sounds better

-But really, just Sakuragi taking you somewhere like a grocery store, he'd make it extremely special because he just loves you that much. He'd buy anything you wanted, and he'd share his favorite snack with you

-If Ryota has a girlfriend, then he likes to double date. But the two of them always end up showing off on who loves their partner more.

-Sakuragi can be impulsive and a bit overbearing with his love so you'd have to tell him if he's doing too much because he'd be unaware

-He's extremely affectionate. He loves to give out physical touch. He loves to scoop you into his arms like you weigh nothing to him, sprinkle kisses all over your face and tell you how proud he is of you for literally doing anything and just being perfect in his eyes

-He gives you gifts that are based off your hobbies. If you're into collecting, he buys you stuff to help contribute.

-Sakuragi is also very loyal. You'd never have to worry about him looking or being tempted by anyone else. You're on his mind all hours of the day.

-He's protective as well. He worries about you because he's a delinquent (reformed, but he's always about that life fr) so he doesn't want anyone messing with you. He's insistent that you tell him if anyone's bothering you so that you can handle it

-Head pats and hair ruffles

-He likes to be snuggled and he loves when you run your hands over his hair

-I have to do it to em, I'm sorry. "This one's for you, y/n-chan!" and completely misses!

-Sakuragi is... an enthusiastic texter. He likes to send a ton of emojis and memes

-He prefers calling you, but he prefers facetiming you even more.

-He likes to be 'discreet' and take photos of you while facetiming so he can save them and keep them as his background.

Falling asleep together on facetime counts as a date for him.

-He feels if you love him, then he's won the game of life. He doesn't want to hear what anyone says because he'll loudly and proudly say that you love him exactly how he is.

-He says I love You multiple times a day. But it never gets old because it's from his heart.

the thing people need to understand is that dulcie is, put simply, #problematic. (the hashtag and associated connotations are crucial, here.) this is, without question, a good thing for her character. i see dulcie as the kind of selfish that toes the line of acceptability. sure, she's guilty about it sometimes, but she still follows through. the meaning behind her name, ripped from don quixote, is (in muir's own words) "a woman you want to exist, but really doesn't." that isn't just referring to cytherea! dulcie herself is emphatically not the person anyone wants her to be, with the possible exception of cam and pal. and they definitely had to learn to be exceptions; the only question is if they succeeded, and if so, to what extent.

i firmly lean toward the interpretation that cam and pal did in fact fully comprehend some of the more unsavory parts of dulcie's character, and if anything only liked her more. as they should! how boring she would be, if she were perfect! hell, if she were not #problematic in some way, she would have drawn very clear lines regarding her relationship to them. that proposal would never have been sent if dulcie hadn't been wonderfully, charmingly selfish enough to leave the possibility open.

that's actually part of why cam and pal didn't catch on fast enough at canaan. dulcie would have been hard pressed to not think gideon mooning over her was hilarious, to not go along with it. she'd tease gideon plenty, in ways that she really shouldn't; she'd just also be pulling strings to get gideon to realise that it's harrow she actually wants. in the scenario imagined by cam and pal, where dulcie has cut them off to soften the blow of her death, it wouldn't be out of the question for their dulcie to entertain herself by meddling with the ninth disasters. nor would it be out of the question for dulcie to cut them off in the first place, because unlike cam and pal, dulcie isn't predictable. she doesn't follow a strict internal code in the way they do. she can do things they can't, including shitty and spontaneous things.

dulcie's selfishness, her love of ugly unfinished things, and her *humanity* are exactly the influences cam and pal needed. the sixth are a pair of ridiculous near-superhuman prodigies bound by duty and morality. they need someone to make them worse. to keep them human. it's this influence paul still needs to stay in check.

dulcinea septimus is nosy, annoying, messy, vengeful, dramatic, impulsive, and while not quite a cradlerobber, is uncomfortably close. and i love her so fucking much. and so do camilla and palamedes. and so do you. i'm not giving you a fucking choice

REVIEW: Slam Dunk - Season One - eps 1-12 (1993-4)

An Anime TV Series In 1993, Slam Dunk burst onto the anime scene, dribbling its way into the hearts of sports fans and anime enthusiasts alike – at least in Japan that is. While the show never really took off in The West prior to the streaming age, it has its western fans and they are very passionate about the show; it was always one of those things I had heard about fondly, but never got around…

mitsui joked about assaulting ayako and i'm supposed to give a shit about his stupid backstory

Slam Dunk (1990)

Martial Arts Au Miyagi!

Of course, Ryota is a Karate kid!! He’s from Okinawa so it just made sense! I based this drawing it off his basketball card from the 90’s anime promo merch, used the same colors too.

Im planning on drawing the others too as different martial arts fighters since as a judoka myself I have a lot of knowledge on the subject and who would do what. So in case you’re curious my head canons are… Sakuragi fights Jiu-Jitsu but also boxes 🥊, Rukawa fights Taekwondo, Mitsui fights Judo with a preference on backwards and sacrifice throws, Kogure also does Judo but does more forward throws, and Akagi is a wrestler/MMA fighter!

I always watch anime in original jp dub but there are also some that i have watched first through Tagalog dub. Like Slam Dunk and Hunter x Hunter for example.

Ever since childhood, i always happen to watch Slam Dunk in the morning. The Tagalog dub version is the one i grew up with. I was only able to watch the Japanese version properly for the first time last year. And i was surprised how close it sounds to the Tagalog dub (for me at least). I commend the Tagalog version for being able to catch the vibe of the original one.

And i really think that the Tagalog dubbers need more appreciation. Kinda shame tho, because the list of dub cast rarely gets released.
