Imagine, If You Please:

Imagine, if you please: 

After being taught a bit about Shakespeare by homare, muku decided to learn some monologues and present them to homare as a bit of a thank-you! sakuya walks by and recognizes the monologue, (bc theatre, baby) and they all become shakespeare reading buddies! This becomes a more regular thing as it does help them all with memorization, dictation, and pronunciation!! Homare loves teaching ‘the youth of mankai’ about the wonders of Shakespeare and is absolutely delighted when he finds sakuya and muku quoting Shakespeare at each other and reading the plays while hanging around the dorms.

Getting out of mankai with a group of 5 or more is pretty much always chaos from beginning to end. However, whenever tsuzuru and omi are parts of these groups things actually go a bit more smoothly. They’ve kinda gotten used to corralling rambunctious children and getting everyone out the door so they just let ‘older sibling auto-pilot’ take over. Unfortunately this creates slightly embarrassing situations when certain statements slip out. 

Omi regularly fixes scarves and folds up the sleeves of whoever he’s closest to. Once, while putting on his scarf, omi automatically leaned down and zipped up taichi and muku’s jackets. He only realised after banri started laughing his ass off. The most embarrassing one was when he was half asleep and put on sakyo's gloves and scarf for him. Sakyo was honestly bewildered and just kinda stood there for a minute and omi never noticed because no-one said anything.

 A couple times Tsuzuru has asked, “Do we all have our shoes on and tied?”. Without his unconscious reminders masumi, taichi, tasuku, and temna could have actually ended up leaving the dorms with untied laces.

annotation hcs (winter pt 1)

I haven't finished the winter troupe’s first chapter yet, so that would explain if any of these are ooc or feel kinda bland, sorry!

Tsumugi: king of annotations, I don't make the rules >:3. He’s the one whom everyone goes to when they have no clue how to go about something academic, and this kinda extends to script annotation. He takes such nice, neat professional notes on most of the pages. [as i said in kazu’s hcs, i think that most of the post-high school kids are fairly solid on note-taking] butttttt, i feel like on certain pages this dweeb[in a loving way] just forgets what the word neat even means. Im talking scribbles, lengthy notes for no reason random analysis, dogeared page, doodles, scratchy marks in the margins, he just gets into a state where his brain goes *BRRRRRR*. Most of it is nice though I promise.

Tasuku: (LOOK IN THE COMMENTS, some lovely people corrected me on this one as we have textual evidence about tasuku’s note-taking later on in the chapters!!!!!) mmmostly minimal notes. Some underlining here and there, mostly reminders to himself on movement and how to get down the subtleties of the script. I feel like he would dogear pages alot too! He’s the one who forgot to write his name on the front of his script, but after a couple of reminders he did it

Hisoka: there’s like, 10 words total in that entire script. Idk he just, feels his script, reads it, sleeps with it under his pillow, and then he’s got it. <- on that note, he definitely sleeps with his script sometimes. Once he told tsuzuru that the scripts were ‘comfy’ and tsuzu just accepted it and moved on with his day.

Homare: WHERE TO START WITH THIS ONE?? So, first off, somehow he managed to make the script look like an illuminated manuscript with all his additions?? Used one of his fountain/calligraphy pens with gold ink to write his name on the front cover~ puts in poetry when inspiration strikes him, so some of the pages are -covered- in writing. Adds little commentary to his notes like muku!! ‘Hmm?? This character seems to be quite nervous!!! Mayhaps this ought to play into their stance!!’ Uses multiple pens when annotating, so there is a bit of a range of color in there, mostly blues, reds, blacks, and on occasion some other colours. I feel like he would use a shade of wine red most often tho!

Azuma: unlike homare, i feel azuma has one specific pen dedicated to annotating his script. He always keeps it neat and tidy, no folded corners, and the script isn’t too worn-looking at the end of the run, he even has a place in his room where he keeps all his scripts! Tries to keep his notes in a nice little aside in the margins, keeping the lines nice and straight!

just in case, cw: potentially dangerous accident, mild cursing I think it's plausible to imagine that misumi is always in the theatre during all tech rehearsal, even when he has nothing to actually do. It seemed to be that once props and tech came in, misumi followed. But no one really minded because he didn't disrupt rehearsals. Now, no one in mankai really knew why misumi is always around during tech until one day during a very tech/prop heavy scene in a short mixed troupe play. Everyone was on heavy time constraints and tech week kinda became tech 3.5 days. Due to the rush, not everything on the catwalk was secured properly, and a stagehand had to run up to hand off a toolbag to someone working right above the stage. The toolbag falls. Before anyone can notice, misumi runs onto stage and tackles tsumugi. The toolbag, full of metal tools, fell onto the stage, crushing the wooden prop tsumugi was standing on. The entire theatre fell silent for a minute, then as one body, izumi and the cast ran over to misumi and tsumugi to just hold them for a minute. It was scary as hell for the people who had never seen an near-accident like that, and rattled the people who had seen worse. Since then, posters were put up by the catwalk to secure all loose items and misumi enlisted hisoka to stand by during complicated productions. ~~~~~~~~~~~ sorry if this one feels a bit rushed, i had hit a mini writer’s block and this was the first thing i could come up with! i will be finishing up any requests that have been sent in, and i thank you all for being patient with me !! :)

Sakuya looks around him while sitting in the common room. Muku is happily showing azuma his favorite scenes from his most recent manga, tsuzuru is trying his best to scrape together dinner, and kumon is pleading with yuki to get him to play cat’s cradle. “You have such nimble lithe fingers! You’d be great at it!!” “What, and get my hands all sore and have to make the puppy embroider this shirt? I don't think so” “C’mon pleaseee?? Just for 5 minutes??” “Tch, fine I guess.” Sakuya is surrounded by love.

Omi reaches over the sofa and ruffles sakuya’s hair. “A little bird who was up late told me you were studying past midnight. You feelin’ ok?” Sakuya beamed up at Omi’s thoughtfulness. “Ah, i was hoping no one would notice if i was quiet enough. But yeah… I had a history quiz today and I was cramming. But I remembered all the answers!! Well, except for that one that involved dates, I might have been off by a year or too...” “Well, I’m glad you did a good job! We’re all proud of you, you know that, right?” Sakuya paused. Proud? Proud of him? Proud? Omi, stood for a moment, then understanding hit him, sakuya wasn’t used to this. Unsure how to proceed, he laid his hand on the little kid’s shoulder and rubbed his thumb slowly back and forth. “I mean it.” Sakuya is surrounded by love.

The two grab cups of milk and go to sit in the courtyard, with a plate of a few canelés between them.

Sakuya knows he is loved.

When first learning different languages (i think he knows at leaaassst 3, if not the basics of more), Citron watched and listened to children’s programs and songs to get used to the basics of the language down. Because of this, Citron recognizes dozens of cartoon characters, songs, and the like from a ton of shows. Citron LOVES playing around with kids and they think it's cool that he knows so much!! Like!!! Just imagine Citron and a circle of lil kids singing along to one of the songs from a popular series and they’re all having so much fun!!!! Since pretty much all the people in the neighborhood know and like Citron, he’s trusted very much by exhausted parents who just cant keep up with the energy of their 5 year olds. One day he was helping a dad put his kid to sleep by telling the little dude fairy tales from Zafra and by the time he was done a flock of tots surrounded him asking for another one. (the adults were listening too but shhh) It became a sweet little routine that whenever Citron stopped by the park he would sing and tell stories to the kids to get them calmed down to go home. All the parents are forever grateful and everyone has fun!

 (i will never ever stop pushing my ‘love and respect citron’ agenda<3)
