Do you have a fave hesokuri au or skit au and have you kuroba’d them 👀

HI EVAN, THANK YOU SM FOR THE ASK!!! 😊✨

and yes, i do!! a few actually, heh. i've talked a little bit about the youkai & denki mystery aus i have for kuroba before and i really love those, but i think my favorite might actually be their royalty / prince au. which i haven't really talked about before so uh. i hope you don't mind, but i'm gonna use this as a excuse to ramble about it.

i'll put my infodumping under a cut bc it might get long, but here's their designs for the au. 🤭

SO. kuroba comes from a commoner household, but because their grandfather was the royal gardener to the matsuno family and they acted as his apprentice, they've basically lived their entire life on the castle grounds in spite of their status. they've gotten to meet and come to befriend quite a few people of a higher social status than them, the most notable being the 2nd prince of the matsuno royal family, karamatsu.

they first met as children, when karamatsu ran away from his caretakers to hide in the gardens and cry by himself. kuroba had been helping with cleaning up the rose beds that day and stumbled upon him. they've always been the meddling type and can't leave others alone when they're upset so they sat with him and tried to comfort him to the best of their ability, ( even if it was just providing him company and a hand to squeeze while he cried. ) after that, karamatsu became very curious about kuroba and would often visit the gardens in the hopes of spending time with them. the two became very close over time, with him following them around the gardens as they worked and running to them whenever he needed a shoulder to cry on ( which they were always happy to provide. )

they're still very close as adults despite some things changing, like karamatsu adopting a more flashy personality to stand out more amongst his brothers and kuroba taking over their grandfather's role as royal gardener. a lot of the things stayed the same, though.

however, their close friendship starts posing some issues within the royal counsel. one of the princes having such an intimate relationship ( and obvious infatuation ) with a commoner is unsightly in the eyes of the nobility and could make them question the integrity & stability of the crown. so iyami, ( who's a sketchy noble adviser to king matsuzou, ) proposes that karamatsu be engaged to duchess dobusu to help quell the rumors going around about kuroba and him. matsuzou agrees and even though he tries to protest it, kara eventually agrees to go along with it for the sake of his family and kuroba.

when karamatsu tells them the news, kuroba takes it pretty well and congratulates him with a smile... or at least, that's the reaction he gets out of them. in reality, they're fucking devastated because they've been harboring feelings for him for years at that point. they already accepted the fact that they could never be together, but that doesn't make the reality of the situation hurt any less. still, they want to support karamatsu and be happy for them so they're taking the truth about their feelings for him to the grave. ( that's what they planned on doing, at least. )

they slowly drift apart after that ; karamatsu's visits to the gardens become less frequent, kuroba stops personally delivering fresh arrangments to karamatsu's quarters, they barely even greet each other when crossing paths. it doesn't help that iyami got into kuroba's ear, warning them that they should keep their distance from kara to preserve his reputation and not lose their job — which they really can't afford as the main breadwinner for their family. neither of them are happy with how things have changed, but there's not much they can do about it.

as karamatsu and dobusu's engagement party draws closer and kuroba has to help with the decorations, their discontent really bubbles to the surface. one of their noble friends, ( i haven't decided who yet lol, ) finds them crying and tries to comfort them, eventually convincing them to sneak into the party and dance with kara so they at least have one unforgettable memory of him to hold onto. with their help, they manage to do it with their identity hidden behind a mask.

things seem to go off without a hitch ; they'll be able to have to moment with karamatsu all for themself and basically no one will be the wiser. that is until they slip up and speak while dancing with him. they start to leave when he almost says their name, but he stops them and gives them the pine-shaped brooch he was wearing before letting them slip away. to make matters worse, iyami sees this all go down.

the events after that are a lot less plotted out, but i imagine some standard historical fantasy romance webtoon bullshit going down. like karamatsu trying to confront kuroba about that night, but them telling him to stop and leave them be. it's be some wild melodrama, which i do kinda live for.

the climax would probably be iyami staging some villainess-esque condemnation event to expose kuroba for sneaking into the party and get them kicked out of the castle. but queen matsuyo and some of the nobles kuroba had befriended come to their rescue. basically, they argue that if there's someone who's willing to be with karamatsu's annoying ass, then why would you force him onto someone else? none of the other nobles want him, please let kuroba have him so they don't have to deal with him. this includes dobusu, who agrees to give the royal family her duchy's support if they break off her engagement with karamatsu and let kuroba take him off her hands. so after getting matsuzou's approval, they live happily ever after theeeeeee end. there's probably other factors that could play into them getting together at the end, but yeah.

anyways thank you for coming to my rambling, i am so sorry it got this long. this is one of the aus i've thought about A LOT so i ended up having a lot to say. 😭

Karamatsu : Almost All Illustrations Artbook

Karamatsu in his costume on the cover of the "Almost Almost All Illustrations" Artbook. He sits on the sofa with a lot of plushies waiting for him and takes pleasure in it.

Mod Note: The plushies shown in this set sadly aren’t actual real life plushies. The plushie that Karamatsu is holding is Karla Pinefield (written like カーラ, ka is extended with a vowel extender and since ra and la are the same katakana, Kaara can be read as Karla (or Carla)) from the Musical AU. Here are close ups of the Karatsugu plush:

⋆｡°✩ some yakuza & mr. shocking dialogue (aka when they first met)

~110 words

“You—you fucking—son of a—”

Yakuza could only stare as she would call it: the red-haired practically throwing a tanturm. She didn’t think it was that bad—she shot at her first, and Yakuza responded—by blowing out her tire. She watched as she held onto the plastic bag, palm slightly sweaty.

“You—you’re—” She started again. “—you’re paying for my fucking tire!”

Yakuza tugged at the bag. “...no.” and walked off.

That sent the red-head seething, cursing up a storm—waving her gun around. Yakuza had tuned her out at that point, only hearing ‘I’ll fucking kill you’ and ‘son of a bitch!’ when she turned around, the other threw the firearm on the concrete out of frustration.

Must’ve ran out of bullets.

Almost All Illustrations Artbook Cover

In celebration of Hesokuri Wars’ 3rd anniversary, an Almost All Illustrations Artbook + Bonus OST CD was released. On the cover it features the sextuplets in exclusive designs for the book holding plushies of the most popular AUs from Hesokuri Wars. These designs would be later used in a Hesokuri Wars set. The characters and AUs are as follows

Osomatsu - Hong Cuung from Matsu Noir

Karamatsu - Karla Pinefield from Musical AU

Choromatsu - Choromatiu Matsunov from Vampire AU

Ichimatsu - Ichimatsu from Yakuza Wolf

Jyushimatsu - Toshio Ogami from Denki Mystery

Todomatsu - Bake-danuki from Yokai AU

Mod note: Sorry this post is out of order! This should’ve been before I posted the Denki Rough Concepts but for some reason my Queue broke. The book itself isn’t out of order and you can find it on eBay. You can probably find them for cheaper from Japanese online shops, but I’m not so sure on the shipping costs.
