-deep breath in- …

MEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Pairing: Takiishi x Endo x Reader; Hiragi x Reader

Word Count: 2.2k

Note: this is filthy, but it has been living in my head so now I’m putting it in your heads. It’s a wee bit dark.

Warnings: exhibitionism, dub-con bordering on non-con, public humiliation, toxic relationship, non-consensual voyeurism, fingering, coerced cunnilingus, forced orgasms, pussy slapping, fem-bodied reader, reader gets hit once, Takiishi and Endo are just mean and Hiragi is not happy about it, mentioned that reader and Ume grew up together

It’s a power play. Hiragi knows this because he knows them—Takiishi and Endo—but it doesn’t make him any less livid.

He sits next to Umemiya on the couch across from the other 2 men, arms crossed, one leg thrown over the other, and all he can do is scowl, trying to ignore the lewd noises that are filling the room.

It’s more of a warehouse. Abandoned then refurbished to fit the needs of Takiishi and the rest of his gang of god damn degenerates. It’s empty now, save for the 5 of you, which is both a blessing and a curse. At least it affords some semblance of privacy.

“Extend the truce, huh?” Endo asks, leaning back in his seat as he starts tracing fingers up and down your thigh. “Now why would we do that?”

Umemiya is staring directly at his smirking face, his own expression unreadable, shut down, and Hiragi knows why. Umemiya is just as affected by the scene before him, maybe even more so.

Because he’s known you for much longer than Hiragi has, shared toys and meals at the orphanage, looked out for you like he did for Kotoha, but unlike Kotoha, Ume couldn’t keep you tucked under his wing forever.

“Why wouldn’t we?” Umemiya challenges. “We both have better things to worry about than going against each other. It’s been a peaceful few weeks, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Peaceful,” Endo scoffs, “more like boring.”

A muffled moan escapes you, and Hiragi can’t help but glance at you. It’s a mistake.

Takiishi has you in his lap, his spread thighs keeping yours wide open as he plunges long fingers in and out of your wet pussy. You’re completely on display, naked chest rising and falling as if to show off your hardened nipples.

Hiragi licks his lips and immediately hates himself for it.

You don’t want to be doing this, there’s no way. It’s been years since Hiragi’s had a proper conversation with you, always hidden away within Takiishi’s shadow.

This never should have happened to you. You never should have fallen prey to him. Hiragi never should have let you.

You were a shining star to Bofurin, well-liked by everyone. You made sure the boys were taken care of, tended Umemiya’s garden whenever he wasn’t able to for some reason. You even provided a nice buffer between Ume and Hiragi, taking note of his particularly bad stomach days and making sure to tag along with the intention of redirecting Ume’s ridiculous fucking tangents while slipping Hiragi fruity antacids.

Then you were attacked, and for some reason fucking Endo was there and stepped in—saved the day then presented you to Takiishi like some kind of toy he’d won from a claw machine.

And he’s still presenting you, making Hiragi and Umemiya sit and watch as you cum for the who-knows-what-time. It's distracting, impossible to focus on the conversation at hand when your sweat-dampened body is right there, stretched out and leaking. There’s a fucking puddle between Takiishi’s feet, but he doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, he’s barely paying attention to you aside from thrusting his fingers inside you.

Hiragi’s fists clench where no one can see, fighting a growl when Endo dips his own hand between your legs to rub your clit.

“She’s so swollen, Kiishi,” he teases, “just look at her.”

For the first time since pulling you into his lap, Takiishi actually regards you, eyes darting downward, and he swats Endo’s fingers out of the way to make room for his own, toying with your puffy clit only to slap it several times.

Hiragi twitches at the action, watching droplets of your arousal fly from your cunt while you squeal and writhe, and he berates himself for thinking that you look so pretty like this—ready to be devoured.

He could. Devour you, that is. At one point in time Hiragi wanted nothing more than to make you his, consume you in every way possible. But he didn’t out of respect for Ume.

Now he thinks maybe he should have. Maybe being with him could have prevented all of this. Maybe instead of walking alone that night you would have been walking with him, back to his place after a date.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Instead he has to watch these psychopaths use you. It’s not even for your pleasure; it’s to set Umemiya and Hiragi on edge, to piss them off enough to start another war.

Takiishi speaks into your ear, your head thrown back as you whimper pleas for him— “c-can’t take it… no—no more, p-please.”

“No more? But your pussy’s so wet. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you like being watched like this.”

Hiragi can barely hear, but he gets enough of it to have to bite his tongue. Umemiya takes advantage of his rivals’ attention being focused elsewhere and squeezes his eyes shut while popping his neck.

“You good?” Hiragi grunts.

Umemiya looks at him from the corner of his eyes, and Hiragi can feel the anger radiating from him. Definitely not good.

“Fuck, you’re makin’ such a mess,” Endo hums, slipping to the ground with the grace of the fucking snake he is so that he can shove his face between your legs.

Loud slurps echo through the warehouse, and the implication that you are that fucking sloppy has Hiragi’s cock twitching in his pants. God, he’s so fucked for this. This is sick.

You whine and wiggle in Takiishi’s lap, legs trembling as Endo eats you out. You’re only given a break when Takiishi shoves Endo’s head back and roughly shoves his own, wet fingers into the other’s mouth.

Endo sucks on them dutifully, even moans around them and reaches down to palm his cock. Hiragi doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to their sordid dynamic, even more twisted now that you’re part of it.

“How about this,” Takiishi starts, removing his fingers from Endo then wiping them down your face. You try to turn your head but the fucker hooks the same, messy fingers into your cheek before gagging you with them.

“I can see the two of you are… uncomfortable.” Takiishi’s mouth barely lifts into a smile, but his eyes remain lifeless as ever. “And I’m enjoying it. So I’ll extend the truce if you humor me for a little bit longer.”

“How? Keep watching you torture my little sister?” Umemiya questions, voice unnervingly even.

Takiishi’s smirk grows. “No. Take part in it.”

“No.”

“Aw, come on,” Endo drawls, “just a taste. You know you want to, Hiragi.”

Hiragi stiffens, eyes darting to you just in time to see yours flutter open and find him. He thinks he sees you nod.

“Don’t you want the truce to last?” Takiishi presses, eyebrows lifted like he’s shocked. “You won’t do this one little thing even if it keeps people safe?”

Umemiya grits his teeth, obviously torn, and Hiragi knows that he’s gonna have to make this decision. This twisted fucking decision.

“You’ll let her rest after?” Hiragi asks, still not moving a muscle.

“Ah!” Endo actually claps, grinning widely. “We have a taker!”

Takiishi shrugs, “sure. Why not?”

Hiragi takes a moment to rub his temples, stomach churning, then looks at Ume for permission. He gives a curt nod, and Hiragi sighs then holds a hand out to beckon you over.

“No, no. On your knees here,” Takiishi commands.

Hiragi’s spine goes rigid. Talk about a fucking power play. They’re putting him in a very vulnerable position.

“We’re not gonna attack you,” Endo chuckles as if reading his mind. “Truce, remember?”

His feet feel like lead as Hiragi makes his way over. He gazes down at you, tries to soften his expression before lowering himself to the ground.

He hates this. He isn’t submitting himself to you but to Takiishi.

Truce, truce, truce, he reminds himself, trying not to think about the fact that he’s finally about to taste you. Enjoying this is not an option. He has to keep his composure.

Hiragi simply stares at first—such a perfect pussy, slick dripping from you in strings, your abused hole leaking thick cream.

Fuck, he’s hard. He’s so fucking hard it hurts.

“Gorgeous, right?” Endo purrs, and when Hiragi doesn’t answer he asks in a much harsher tone, “right?”

“Yeah,” he nods. “Gorgeous.”

Hiragi glances up at you one more time before leaning forward. He licks you as softly as possible, gathering the juice between your folds. It pulls a long moan from you, and Hiragi senses the way you tense in Takiishi’s lap.

You taste good. Better than good. Sweet and tangy, and as you coat his tongue, Hiragi savors it. He tries to remain soft against you, not moving too quickly or forcefully. He can’t imagine how sensitive you must be.

When he bumps his nose against your clit, so pitifully swollen, you let out a high-pitched, “ah!” and buck up against him.

Fucking Christ.

Hiragi places one of his hands on your thigh, kneading your tense muscles in a way he hopes is soothing, but the more you move against his mouth, the tighter his grip becomes.

He drags the flat of his tongue over your hole then dips into it, tasting your gummy walls and groaning quietly. His cock is throbbing, trapped in his pants, but he’d rather die than pull it out.

The slightest graze of his teeth against your clit has you crying out, and Takiishi holds you tighter against him.

“You enjoying this, hm? Our pretty slut getting off on your old friend’s tongue?”

Hiragi growls at the way he degrades you, but his mouth is too busy to argue. Instead, he sucks your clit into his mouth, reveling in the way you start to whine for him.

“You better not cum for him,” Takiishi hisses. Hiragi nearly stops. Isn’t that the whole point of this? Wring one more orgasm out of you?

“B-but—”

You’re quaking, sopping hole clenching over and over, and Hiragi feels a sick pride knowing he’s making you feel good.

“Listen to me,” Takiishi grips your face roughly, “you don’t cum unless I say you can.”

You choke back a sob that morphs into a wet moan when Hiragi licks into you again.

He should stop. Even if you like what he’s doing, Takiishi is still using it as a punishment, and the worst part is that he knows Hiragi is getting caught up in it. He isn’t sure he’d be able to tear himself away if he tried.

And he doesn’t want to try.

Both hands by his head, Hiragi spreads your chubby pussy open and drags his tongue over whatever he can reach. He makes a mess of his face, rubbing back and forth, catching your clit with his nose while slurping the squirt starting to seep out of you.

Takiishi can tell you not to cum all he wants, but Hiragi is gonna make sure you do no matter what.

“Fuck, fuck, Ragi!”

He hasn’t heard you call him that in ages, and it makes heat bloom in his chest, affection and longing, and fuck, he wants to take you away from here, to save you, but first he wants to feel you lose yourself. He wants to swallow your orgasm, fuck you through it, then wipe away your tears afterward.

“Don’t cum, don’t you dare cum,” Takiishi says over and over, noticing how your body starts to lock up, how your legs tighten around Hiragi’s back, toes curling as he swipes his tongue back and forth over your clit.

He’ll make you see stars, and then he’ll steal you away. That’s it. That’s exactly what he’ll do.

“Have to—I can’t—”

Hiragi is so thankful he looks up from between your legs at that moment because you smile when you cum for him, rocking your hips into his face, wanting more. He sticks his tongue out as far as he can, flattening it, letting you rub your messy cunt all over it.

“Oh, god, oh—m’sorry, m’sorry, couldn’t help it, ohhh~”

You slow down, or really Takiishi slows you down, and Endo sneers, pinched expression on his face.

“Alright, loverboy, that’s enough.”

Hiragi glares up at him, making a show of the way he kisses your clit, then leans back on his heels. He doesn’t even bother wiping his face.

You’re breathing heavily, legs still twitching with aftershocks, and when you look up at Hiragi, you show another exhausted, beautiful grin.

The meeting doesn’t last long after that. Takiishi and Endo both seem pissed—their own damn fault—but Hiragi isn’t particularly worried. He’s already formulating a plan to get you out, and he’s willing to bet Umemiya is doing the same.

Extending the truce is agreed on. They even shake hands on it.

As Hiragi and Umemiya make their way toward the exit, Hiragi looks over his shoulder. You’re wearing Takiishi’s ugly-ass fur coat, but that’s the only comfort you get from him.

Hiragi watches as that ginger fuck leans forward to get in your face, not shouting but louder than Hiragi has ever heard him— “what did I fucking say? You think you’re cute putting on that show for him? Moaning his name—disgusting fucking whore!”

Hiragi is flying through the air, fist pulled back, and his punch lands just after Takiishi backhands you hard enough to knock you over. Hiragi’s knuckles slam into his jaw with a satisfying crack, and he grins when Takiishi spits out a molar.

So much for that truce.

My submission for Week 3 of Tea’s SuoSaku Monsterfucking Month. For the prompts Vampire/Flex, it’s another Xianxia AU but modern and with jiangshi! Suo. While not exactly the traditional western vampire that feeds off of blood, jiāngshī feed off of a person’s qì (or energy) :D👍.

Extras (concept & lore)

First of all, yes, this is a reference to Suo’s costume for the WindBre Event in Kofu Shopping Street Halloween Festival. It was never going to be anything else 😭 but I added spice (read: lore) to the mix with Sakura’s design to make it more interesting. This piece was originally going to be spicier with a different pose, but I didn’t like the anatomy on that one.

concept:

For this AU, a person’s energy can be visible to the eyes of yaoguai and the appearance of the energy is similar to that of kintsugi (big thanks to @psychicwavementality for the idea). The more potent one’s (yang) energy is, the more it will attract stronger creatures. Sakura is one of the rare people who makes a lot of excess yang energy that Suo could probably live off of for years without draining the former too much.

Also while researching for references, I found that the fulu inscripted on Suo’s talisman from the official art is just “Bofurin ~ Halloween”. Incredibly cheeky of whoever drew the design and approved of it and also very fitting of Suo’s character.

This is posted alongside Week 2 if you haven’t seen it yet.

patched || kaji ren x gn!reader

✧ i just wanted to write vulnerable kaji okay he deserves some hugs.

✧ content: established relationship, spoilers for kaji's backstory (sorta, it ain't said but it's there between the lines), fluff, minor descriptions of wounds

✧ a/n: i will and shall make every windbre boy soft or vulnerable or both. so have some soft kaji y'all before his official introduction to the anime this week yeehaw- it's also close to 1 am when I'm posting this so if it's rushed towards the end. no it's not.

Hiragi Toma rarely came over to your house.

Instead, you would just be one of the many people he would wave too when out on patrol, just with a deeper friendship - if he's not particularly busy you two would even strike a conversation, just to catch up.

But Hiragi Toma rarely came knocking on your front door.

So when you hear the firm, yet somehow gentle clear knocks on your front door - only to open it up to see Hiragi's bloodied knuckles? You can only answer with a confused glance back and forth between his embarrassed expression and the fist that is still raised up, ready to knock on your door that is very much open.

"... I had to knock him out."

Ah.

"Is he okay?" is the only thing you ask as you turn towards the side to reach for the first aid kit that you have stored next to the front door - quicky grabbing it and handling it to Hiragi while you swiftly put on some shoes.

"Depends on your definition of 'okay" the third year mutters, walking briskly ahead to lead the way once you've locked the door. "No broken bones?"

"Then yeah, he's fine." Hiragi answers, guiding you through some alleyways until you get to a semi-open area. In the middle you see Kusumi and Enomoto crowding around you assume is an unconscious Kaji on the ground.

Even without getting close you can already smell the blood surrounding the air - the the pile of passed out delinquents to the side was most likely the main reason.

"Kusumi-kun, Enomoto-kun, thank you for your hard work." you call out, the two vice captains turning towards you whilst you wave at them. And only then do you see their shoulders relax. "I can take it over from here."

The two students scurry quickly away, albeit not too far in case something were to happen when Kaji woke up. A needless worry you would always say to them.

Kaji would never hurt you after all.

So whilst Hiragi and the second year vice captains clean up the area, you're busy propping Kajis head on top of your lap, brushing aside his bloodied bangs to wipe away the dried blood on his face with a cloth.

It doesn't take long before Kaji stirs awake from your actions. It starts with a jolt of his fingers, followed by his eyes squeezing even tighter together. But it's only when you dab a cotton ball with disinfectant at an open wound that his eyes snap open in surprise.

Kaji would've almost headbutted you if you hadn't already cradled both of his cheeks in your hands, the distraught boy letting you tip his head up whilst you bend your own head to make eye contact with him. "Good afternoon sleeping beauty." you whisper, a smile on your face whilst you tighten the hold you have on his face, thumb gently stroking his cheek while he gasps for air. "How are you feeling?"

Kaji doesn't answer, he merely raises his hands to grab onto your wrists - his hold on you tightening which makes you unable to continue your ministrations of cleaning his wounds. His eyes dart back and forth questioningly, probably wondering how you ended up here although he's unable to directly ask you seeing that he's still heaving for air.

"Hiragi-san came to get me. Figured that it would help you calm down faster." you answer, wriggling your fingers in one hand to make him loosen his hold before wrapping your own fingers gently around his own wrist to press his trembling palm against your cheek. You let him stay like that for a moment whilst you keep an eye on his expression with a smile. It's only when you feel his thumb slightly brush against your cheek that you turn your head to press your lips against his palm, your eyes still trained on Kaji's own hazy ones.

"... The others?" Kaji finally whispers whilst letting his arm fall limp back down to the ground. A silent sign that you can continue tending to his wounds. "Helping Hiragi-san, quite a few of them managed to run back here, with you chasing them and all." you reply, placing a compress on a particular nasty scratch on his forehead.

"There! We're all done now!" you inform beaming, admiring your own handiwork with a triumphant smile. Kaji, however doesn't move from your lap - attention still at Hiragi and his vice captains that have begun to make small talk with the townspeople wondering what happened.

"So I only made trouble for both you and Hiragi-san again, didn't I." It was a statement rather than a question, perhaps that's why Kaji won't look your way. Too afraid to see what sort of expression you're sporting.

"... Ren," you call out softly, hands once again cradling his cheek to make him face you. There's a slight resistance at first, but Kaji soon let's you move his head to face upwards towards your direction again.

Kaji alternates between staring at you and looking slightly to the side to avoid your soft gaze. You can tell he's getting a bit nervous with how the fingers by his side keeps wriggling a bit, almost like he wants to dig them into his hoodie pocket to grab a sucker, anything to avoid saying something that can potentially hurt your feelings.

After all, behind that unbothered facade, lies a fragile boy still afraid of losing the people who had accepted him.

Every part of him.

Even the part he hated himself for.

In the end, he settles on balling them into a fist before taking a deep breath - directing his gaze back to you with furrowed eyebrows. "What-"

Before he can voice out his question, you're already bending down to slot your lips against his. The sudden kiss makes Kaji freeze, mouth slightly agape in surprise. The angle let's him easily smell the slightly sweet fragrance you have on your neck, paired with the smell of freshly dried linen.

A sweet peach scent, a stark contrast to the the rusty smell of blood that's been penetrating his senses since he woke up.

When you pull apart, it's only to give him a reassuring smile again before pressing your lips against his forehead, "You know I don't like it when you say you're being a bother." you gently remind. "If you were, I wouldn't be here now, would I?" you say.

Kaji doesn't say anything, merely staring at up at you with a glazed look. It takes a few seconds before he abruptly sits up straight and turns around to face you. The action making you jump in surprise, but you can barely move before his arms are wrapped around your shoulders with his face snuggled against your neck.

"... You smell good." He finally says, snuggling closer to inhale the fragrance left on your skin. "I know. It's your favorite after all." You answer with a laugh, wrapping your own arms around his waist whilst settling your own head against his shoulder.

And you'll stay there in his arms, for however long it takes for Kaji to pick himself up again.

[prettyboykatsuki]

off the top of your head, who is the first person you think of when I ask who the best bf is from each of your main interests. and you can’t say isagi. </3

tje real time reaction i had to this....

just for the record it is isagi. like. without fail.

ill list them in order i think them...im going for Best Boyfriend Vibes. not in general best partner / life partner but guys who are so Bf. not as in good bfs but have a tremendous vibe of being a boyfriend. ok.

bnha.... im going to say sero. good work life balance, playful but not casual, knows how to treat you well bc he finally settled down. u could make an arguement for natsuo as well

jjk none those men are actually insane <33 im half kidding but the answer is yuuji. you could also make an arguement for maki

bluelock. you know the true answer. after that i think i would give it pre wild-card kunigami. if we're talking post wildcard then i feel very strongly about chigiri. i cant explain this . yukimiya is also pretty close.

haikyuu is impossible every guy in that damn shoe has the most boyfriend vibes ever. my gut reaction is iwaizumi or futakuchi (i know its random but my brain rlly wont let go). my other gut reaction is anyone in the inarizaki group except atsumu (so sunarin, osamu, kita and aran) but if we're speaking Bf material i think aran hits it out of the park. i'd have to analyze this in a seperate post

theres a lot of very bf men in hq this is like literally not possible. i could list one form every school.

my personal answer is iwaizumi

hm... HM....

in hsr its 4 star dan heng easiest call of my life. him or luka but dan heng is more boyfriendy to me personally.

rdr2 its javier like. bar none. its not close either

in bg3 it's karlach, none of the men feel like boyfriends. they're all very Husband (and Princess for Astarion) so karlach.

in windbre.... im right in between ume and sakure. they both give of bf in completely diff fonts. im going to say ume though bc he just feels like a guy u date

i do not think i am missing any sdkjfhnskjd

✨hiragi-san✨ and character agency in nii sensei's wind breaker

(archived version; currently under re-editing 🙏)

Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back

*slowly takes off hat and puts it on sako* sako with a hat now-

"Character agency" in writing is when characters have the capacity/ability to make choices that affects the narrative. In fiction aimed for a younger audience that focuses on young characters as the active protagonists, adults (ex. parents) are often written to be more absent so that the young cast has more agency in the story.

However, a writing pitfall could be creating the implication that "adults are unreliable" (which can be true in some realities, but context and perspective is important. For example: the adult is absent just for the sake of it VS highlighting the issue of neglect, resulting in a character finding adults unreliable. A different spin can be when the kids purposefully hide their problems from the adults because they didn't want to burden them, and/or didn't trust them, in turn preventing adults from having the chance to help. Whether or not that has further weight in the narrative is another story).

That is unless the story is about the adult, too, which could invoke some thought provoking perspectives for both younger and older audiences. For example, the idea that adults can continue to grow just as they can make mistakes as well. I do find that it's important to have stories that could tell people confidently that there are adults out there who will help and in the way that matters—perhaps also inspire thoughtful action (as depending on the situation, one's idea of "help" can be another's "harm." At the same time, one's idea of "harm" can harm themselves, rejecting what might actually help—so on and so forth).

All of that, and also to acknowledge those who are already doing so, helping those in need in the way that actually helps.

Some manga that does this really well I feel is Shirahama Kamome's Witch Hat Atelier and Takamatsu Misaki's Skip and Loafer. Furudate Haruichi's Haikyuu!! is another example!!!! For perspective, here's a reaction of a volleyball couple watching the moment the protagonist, Hinata, asks his coach for advice (17:58-20:30)!!!!! (22:45-24:15) for their commentary >:)

Adult unreliability isn't universal, but one's perspective on the matter is dependent on their personal experiences. One's reality isn't the same as another's, and neither should be denied... something something yeah ✨

So what does this have to do with Hiragi-san from Nii Satoru's Wind Breaker?!! GOOD QUESTION *STARTS BREAK DANCING*

more under the cut. a lot more. the main point, even- ⚠️will have manga spoilers up to chapter 170⚠️

FIRSTLY, there are adults in Wind Breaker *points at the townspeople*. But yeah maybe there aren't any teachers visually at Furin school grounds, but I interpreted it as a visual metaphor as windbre's story has a very rich presence of those. Here is a post I wrote talking more about that, the second half detailing more about teacher/adult-presence in windbre.

But in short, I find that windbre's narrative is presented on a stage with three main worlds—as of the current story. These worlds are divided between the past and present (ex. the known/unknown world in the hero's journey):

PRESENT TIME 1. delinquent world (main plot conflict/arcs): little to no adult presence; the youths have full agency here using fight conversations to settle problems. 2. townspeople world (transitional scenes/arcs): has adult presence; only the adults who are received positively by the young cast exist in this world (so far). This is when patrols happen, too. PAST 3. flashback world (informs present time): with very few exceptions, teachers still do not exist in classroom settings. We also only meet adults outside of school grounds, and only the adults who've left positive impact has their faces shown clearly and/or named. I note that during flashbacks in main plot conflicts (when characters are fighting in present time), the flashbacks do not include like, story interaction with adults. Maybe allusions to it (like a panel as Tsubaki mentions Ito and Yui to Suzuri), but we only like have fuller interactive moments in flashbacks during transitional arcs (Tsubaki telling Sakura about Ito and Yui).

The “school” setting definitely made the lack of faculty presence louder, but I find that the visual lack of faculty in Furin further emphasizes the youth/students' actions and their identity as Bofurin (protectors of the town).

The adult harm/help told in the past do hold significant weight in the narrative. It's just that the way windbre is presented is very stylized, contrasting with the more grounded elements of the narrative contents—which might be a reason why the absent teachers throw people off!

BACK TO HIRAGI-SAN (I PROMISE THE CONTEXT HELPS)

So like, I was rereading windbre again and it was like.....damn.... 𝓱𝓲𝓻𝓪𝓰𝓲-𝓼𝓪𝓷🌹✨ but then one moment in Noroshi Arc jumped out to me, especially when contrasting with an earlier moment in the narrative:

Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back || Chapter 130: Beyond Pain

I went like "Huh? What?" like sakocchan AND WHOAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

There's also this visual parallel moment:

Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back || Chapter 129: Fury

Something something quoting @causticsodaa (thank you for listening to me ramble about this again!!!!!!): “I'm sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations” vs “I will live up to your expectations”

AND SO I took another dive at the backstories involving Hiragi and like *puts hands together* HERE'S SOME OBSERVATIONS:

1. Sako's backstory is the first fuller backstory flashback in the plot, and it's centered around Hiragi. (Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back) This aligns with how no adults are shown in flashbacks during major conflicts, like Togame and Choji's (Chapter 19: The Setting Sun; Chapter 26: Good Old Days / Nostalgia).

2. Comparing Ume, Tsubaki-chan, and Hiragi, and how they supported fellow youths around them: During Ume and Tsubaki's elementary school days, they are faced with a major obstacle in their lives and is supported by adults (Shitara Yuki / Ito and Yui) (Chapter 93: Umemiya Hajime's Childhood Days - Chapter 64: Childhood Days) Hiragi is currently the odd one out in that during his elementary school days, HE was the one helping his fellow kids (Sako and Kaji). Sako and Kaji as elementary schoolers also does not get shown to have adult help, contrasting with Ume and Tsubaki. (Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back - Chapter 124: Hating Myself) If this pattern continues with Momose and Mizuki, Hiragi being the odd one out suits how he's not from the same middle school as Ume and the rest of the Four Kings, and how Hiragi's the last piece to Ume's master bofurin keikaku. (Chapter 165: Haven)

3. When we finally got a Hiragi thinking back to the past, he thinks about Kaji, someone HE helps (Chapter 129: Fury). This also happens during present-time fighting, which contrasts with Ume and Tsubaki telling their stories during transitional arcs. Many characters also think back to their benefactor rather than the one they helped, like with Togame's flashback during Shishitoren Arc, he thinks of Choji (his benefactor; the difference between Choji and Hiragi as benefactors though, is that Choji didn't "help" Togame in the mind of he wants to help Togame. It just happened to end up that way just by Choji being himself. Hiragi helped with the intent to help). A side tangent, for Tsubaki's second flashback (during Noroshi Arc), Tsubaki thinks of Ume, who helps Tsubaki and when they're both as middle schoolers (Chapter 120: War - Chapter 121: My Prince). Only when Ume's in middle school do we see his active support towards fellow and younger kids, like Tsubaki and Sugishita.

AND THEN HERE'S A PRESENT-TIME OBSERVATION

4. Ume as a third year furin high schooler has a tendency to intrude into talking spaces where he isn't involved. (Chapter 59: The Sempai's Teachings)

This contrasts with Hiragi, who actively takes a step back and let his underclassmen figure stuff out, only giving minimal pushes to get the conversation going. (Chapter 170: Resurgence)

And then here we have Ume and Hiragi clashing HJSDGHS (Chapter 61: Get-Together)

And then, one more important pattern: Kaji is known to be someone who "no one really knew how to handle" (Chapter 35: Kaji Ren). Banjo in present time, without any doubt I feel, would also be categorized by society as someone "no one really knew how to handle."

In both cases, it's Hiragi, someone of their age group, who steps in to help. He stopped attacking after Banjo screamed "no," which I find very telling of Hiragi's character.

He also explains to Banjo about why he felt disgusted fighting him and about boundaries, something that Banjo probably never learned of OR just didn't understand. (Chapter 130: Beyond Pain)

*PUTS HANDS TOGETHER* SO.

Something something about Hiragi, ever since he was an elementary schooler, takes on a position that would usually and ideally be reserved to an adult (Shitara Yuki, Ito and Yui, and Sugi grand parents). He creates a space of safety for his fellow elementary and middle schoolers before Bofurin existed. This is especially the case for those who do not get shown to receive adult help—

—for reasons like "no one knew how to handle [Kaji]" or inattentiveness and neglect (Sako getting bullied).

With that in mind, Hiragi is similar to Suzuri, who stepped up for his fellow kids in an environment where it's explicitly stated that "no one in this town had the luxury to save anyone else" (Chapter 80: Ideals and Reality). Throughout his school career (elementary to high school), Hiragi's the one catching the kids who slipped between the cracks of a "normal" society.

The reason why I talked about character agency earlier, is to connect with how, once again, Hiragi takes on a position that's usually for adults in windbre (he's also the first character to be shown with this role in a flashback to begin with, to approach another with the intent to help). So if we put him as that "adult" role in the narrative sense, he's the only "adult" (aside from Suzuri) who steps into the delinquent world where "youths" have full agency.

But like, the thing is, he's still a kid, and so far (Shishitoren -> Noroshi arc) we haven't met a significant adult who changed the trajectory of his life, and I find that very *grabs my nonexistent hiragi-nui plush and shakes him around*

Coming back to these two moments:

Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back || Chapter 130: Beyond Pain

With adults and character agency in mind, Hiragi ("adult") attempts to "return agency" to his followers ("youths"), in that he believes they need to find their own goal (sounds kinda contradictory here ain't it *waggles eyebrows*).

There are two highlighted ways this is taken by his followers:

1. Hiragi takes away [Sako]'s agency to follow him. 2. That's what Hiragi thinks, so [Kaji] has the agency to continue following him.

Chapter 126: By Your Side

The funny part /silly is that after Kaji shared this with Sako, Sako doubled down on his decision to not follow Hiragi anymore because that would mean Sako's a dumbass for following what Hiragi says hgdjkshjkgh

And then there is the exception of Banjo, who Hiragi says "come to me" to.

Hiragi takes away Banjo's agency to fight/hurt other people.

In the case of Hiragi and his followers, while there's also the upperclassmen to underclassmen power dynamic difference, as the delinquent world only has youths (so no extremely obvious power difference between like, authoritative figures like teachers/police and the youths), they're really all narratively at the same level. To me, Kaji's assertion is what highlights this.

Edit: Connecting this with Hiragi's commentary about boundaries with Banjo, Sako.... kind of's also the only one who respected Hiragi's words/feelings. As much as he wanted Hiragi to say "come with me," he didn't get it, so it's akin to not getting Hiragi's consent to continue following him—which also contrast with Sako originally being the one who demanded Hiragi to train him to begin with! The way Hiragi worded his "you shouldn't follow me anymore," it's also focusing more on his followers than himself... I'll have to reread the full flashback again with Sako's commentary hdgjkdsjs

Though there's also the question of translation and nuance; so here I will be taking a look at the original Japanese text:

「お前(まえ)はついてこない方(ほう)がいい」

お前(まえ)は: You ついてこない方(ほう): the act of not following がいい: is okay (いい means good/good connotation)

So literally, it's something like, "it's okay if you don't follow me." or even like, something along the lines of "the act of you not following me is a good thing."

But because I'm not that familiar with the nuance in this kind of context, this could totally sound like "you shouldn't follow me anymore"—AND THAT SAID here's digital edition 1.0.1's version of the same dialogue!!!!!!!!

(There's different official english editions; the one I've been showing earlier is 1.0.0. I think the print versions are following 1.0.1? Based off of my copy of vol 2, at least!!)

YEAH.

Either way Hiragi's definitely deciding what's best for his followers (which, can in a way resonate with like, for example the idea of adults knowing better than the kids? which in turns invalidates what kids think/feel?). Though, this dialogue can also be quite telling about how Hiragi sees himself, too. Kinda like...... that part when Ume's talking about Hiragi's good points and he responds with "you can find anyone like that".... or something..... yeah.......

Chapter 97: Umemiya Hajime's Ambition Arc 2

That being said!!!! These two panels:

Chapter 130: Beyond Pain

Something about this moment (Sako and Hiragi's awkward "sorry" "no uh I'm sorry" "wait I'm not blaming you" "hauwhgh I mean, like, sit down you're the one who asked me to handle this" followed by Hiragi's expression and sigh of relief here) made me go ow ow ow owow- /pos

Rarely does Hiragi have light in his eyes (even more obvious in the anime, with how they colored his eyes), but that panel above, and the following below, are the moments we get to see the light clearly—at least from what I remember distinctively:

Chapter 97: Umemiya Hajime's Ambition Arc 2 Hiragi after hearing Ume out.

Chapter 124: Hating Myself Kaji's first meeting with Hiragi, and how Hiragi helped him.

Chapter 161: The Fog Lifts Hiragi thanking Inugami.

Chapter 170: Resurgence Kaji, post-reverting to "that," proving his determination to continue training and growing stronger. This is also after a flashback where Kusumi, Enomoto, and Kaji had their conversation, with Hiragi lightly mediating and witnessing their growth himself. I note that he got a bit peeved that Kaji didn't tell him that Kusumi and Enomoto was visiting, too. Perhaps because he didn't like the idea of intruding on them?

And then if we're counting colored pages, Chapter 100: The Great Fires of Extinction Opening Act, too, when the Four Kings + Sakura yells the Bofurin motto.

By the time Hiragi first met Sako (who I'm pretty sure joined Hiragi's group later on, considering how he's depicted farther away and behind the group), there is no light in his eyes.

Chapter 15: Vow to Follow / Chasing His Back Edit: I realized this panel isn't really a good example but do check out the chapter and take a look at Hiragi's close ups👍

That in itself implies a lot I think, but one thing I feel strongly about that is that he only gets the light back in his eyes when he gets some sort of reassurance:

With Ume, it's that Ume is not messing around with his ambition to change the town—and perhaps how Ume acknowledges Hiragi in the way that matters to Hiragi.

Ume needs Hiragi because he doesn't put Ume on a pedestal. Hiragi hears the words he probably needed to hear, from someone aside his own followers (see: Sako praising him in the past). Both of their criticism/praise towards each other has actual weight to each other. At that very moment, they were equals through and through, even more than just being in same age group. (something something both of their charisma + merit points puts them on pedestals, isolating them from even their own friend groups and in a different way as them all "delinquents" gets alienated by the rest of society.... something..... yeah. There's also the fact that the way Ume takes Hiragi seriously. Like back with Chapter 16: The Power of the Second-In-Command / The Opponent's True Power, when Ume says "But talk to me it when you feel like it, okay? That's the story I absolutely want to hear" followed by Hiragi's surprised expression.... It makes me think of how sometimes, like... for example: adults don't take kids seriously. In Hiragi's case, we don't know how often adults takes him seriously or not, at least not as of the current story. As for Ume, he has an adult who take him seriously. In fact, he had and still has many adults taking him seriously. Ume's heart bucket is full of care and love....)

And then with Kaji and Sako, the two kids he'd been looking out for for so long, it's the reassurance that they will be fine. That they're going to be okay—that they are okay. They got people by their side. He can also stay by their side.

Chapter 161: The Fog Lifts

in conclusion.....

uhhhh uhhh so yeah I really like how windbre shows a variety of examples of how adult help/harm/absence can affect the young cast, all of them having weight in the narrative!!!!!!! With Hiragi, it's how he, as a kid, looks out for fellow kids who didn't get to receive the guidance from adults who probably could've helped.

now with all that out of the way here's Hiragi getting laughed at for looking old and worn out:

Chapter 104: Uninvited Guest

something something the jokes about kids in (ani)manga not looking their age but this time there's actual narrative weight to hiragi's old looking design >:3 For the source material manga, at least. The anime adaptation uhhhhuhmhgm yeah everyone looks a bit older! Kinda~ Sells better I guess? *tackles myself into the ground before that can of worms opens WAHOO*

BUT SPEAKING OF THE ANIME ADAPTATION

One thing I really love that they added: a flashback cut in EP 6 where Hiragi spots Sako getting bullied.

When Hiragi pulled up at the scene, the OST WIND BREAKER(Main Theme) starts playing, just like when Kaji, Matsumoto, and Yanagida pulls up after Hiragi at EP 1. The use of that OST in that added Hiragi flashback scene evokes the Bofurin spirit during a time when Bofurin haven't even existed.

Umemiya created a world where kids like Hiragi wouldn't be alone when they find themselves in an "adult" caretaker role.

bonus: comparison list between a few more windbre characters with agency in mind:

Hiragi Toma: The type to carry things out to the end responsibly, gets worried over his followers' agency so tried to return it to them (but that instead could be interpreted as him taking away their choice to follow him (Sako) and so Kaji was like raises an eyebrow "bruh what, it's my choice to follow you")

Umemiya Hajime: In his childhood, his agency got violently taken away so he attempted desperate ways to get it back (there's a connection between self destruction and one's perception of their agency; his parents' deaths were out of his control, so he blamed himself to regain control in his life) -> develops a tendency to self-blame, which takes away other characters' agency (responsibility, like Takiishi's) with "I'm the one who made this decision/became leader" as an argument for his side.

here's @causticsodaa's analysis about ume's self-blame tendencies~

Choji jumpscare: Lost direction/grasp of himself and blames everyone else (which can be read as like, taking away their agency that they didn't actually do anything that resulted in Choji's "boredom." Choji decided for them and acted on it). (Chapter 23: The Top VS The Top)

Surprise Sakura: After being constantly rejected, he tried to regain agency by giving up/rejecting others (rather than taking the risk of others rejecting him again). (Chapter 58: Discussion)

Walking up the staircase with Suo Hayato: Whatever tf this implies!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 11: A Kind Man / A Gentleman - Chapter 12: Step On Up / The Staircase to Adulthood

Lil awkward guy Sugishita-kun: "Fanatic" who doesn't think for himself, in a way giving up his agency (but now, he got it back!!!!!!!!! with his own words at that!!!!!!) (Chapter 165: Haven - Chapter 168: To Show Color)

Hi, hey, hello, maayong buntag sA TANAN 🙌🙌

IM AWAKE (yes i know i slept for an hour sue me) AND WITH MANY THINGS I WISH I SHARED LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE STUDIES AND ITS ONLY ABOUT SHITARA.

I'll post another one about my thought process on the others' design elements I included mayhaps after part 2 is out (which i assure u is not as extensive as part 1, its a one per person package deal). Like their body hair or whatnot (yes, takiishi's lack of a happy trail was intentional).

(p.s. this is a vent for me but if u want to watch me simp haphazardly, then u're in the right place)

This was my reference for shitara and let me tell u this was more than i needed but my fingers kept screenshoting more and moreee.. .

Hes so silly and funny, and hes a dilf so hes already checks out more of my ideal type sksk. HIS SCRUFF, I LOVED DRAWING HIS SCRUFF AND HIS BODY HAIRR. I HAVENT POSTED ANY DRAWINGS PUBLICLY WITH BODY HAIR BUT FOR YOU SIR, ANYTHING FOR YOUU.

—

QnA Time:

"Whats up with the dad bod Brooke/Eve?"

Hear me out: I wanted him to have a beer belly and then I went oKAY maybe lets give him MORE chonk aND I DID AND HES LITERALLY EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED ICANT- *slams fist against the table*

"Was shitara the reason why-?"

Yes, yes. I got hit with the sudden urge to draw him topless and i decided to extend the graces to umemiya (thats his son in all but blood so ofc) and togame (no. 3 on my list). But ig four sounded better than 3 but i didnt know who to pick so i let y'all pick for me. Now takiishi's there, with messly drawn up left hand on the handstand sksk. The reference photo wasnt any better, who knew people could have such large fingers.

"Why did you make it a torso study instead of drawing him topless once like a normal person?"

Because im insane thats why and what is normal, dont know her. Also i thought it would be a good way to learn how the torso anatomy and how the muscles work u know? And i chose quite the variety to characters that canonically have different body types that i can play around. So now i know which muscles go where and how light plays with it skks.

"Is Shitara your no. 1?"

No, that belongs to Ales 🫶. The absolute rock they were the entire time i was sharing her wips. He's no. 2 tho, that's why my OTP (and OT3) for windbre is Ales/Me/Shitara. It was never gonna be anything else but SuoSakuNire is a close second. Highkey in love with both of them sksks.

Back to silly thoughts:

sirrr keep me warm in this cold ass weather bagyo seasonn~

Speaking of, u know i had to play "Big Boys" by SZA on that SNL show or whatever AND "big boys x streets" mashup because the wayyy i feltt a lot of thingsss in my heart when that song was on. Very yummy. OH YEAH AND "CANDY" BY DOJA CAT AND "AUSSIE AUSSIE O SIGE" BY ANDREW E!!

I will patiently await the day we see current timeline Shitara looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever. I WILL PATIENTLY AWAIT THE DAY HE GETS A SEIYUU. I HAVE A LIST ON POTENTIAL VA OPTIONS SKSK.

anyways, i think thats all. kissing his scruffy chin in my head before i skiddadle to uni 🏃🏃

[raamitsu]

might be semi active today because I currently am not in a pretty shape.

anyways good afternoon, everyone ✋🏻 stay safe, stay healthy and be careful out there.
