Muku Takes A Pottery Class One Year And Made Homare A Teapot And A Matching Cup! He Wanted To Paint Roses

Muku takes a pottery class one year and made homare a teapot and a matching cup! He wanted to paint roses on them before they were glazed, so he asked kazu to help him practice to make sure that the ones on the pot and cup would be pretty!! (he practiced on little squares of paper, then cut them out and hung them on a string in his room bc they looked pretty!!) Homare loved it and recited a poem about it upon receiving the gift. He now uses the set as often as possible and smiles whenever he thinks about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ these two give me such wholesome student teacher vibes waa.,,,

Heya~ can I have some Juza and Sakuya friendship headcanons? The clumsy yet earnest duo is so underrated and I would love to see more of them as buddies 🥺🥺🥺 ~🍁

Ooooo these two are so cute!! Thanks for waiting for me to post this 🍁 anon!! (and congrats! You’re my first anon with an emoji associated with you! I think the maple leaf is cute!!)

-they look up to each other in different ways!! Juza admires sakuya’s talent and outgoing attitude, and sakuya admires juza’s drive and thinks he’s really cool!! They both admire each other’s passion for acting!!

-Juza also really appreciates that saku is a good role model for kumon and tried to thank him for it, but sakuya insisted that he loved helping others, and it was his duty as a troupe leader to help anyone who needs it, even if they aren't from his troupe!

-Juza once expressed his admiration for how sakuya seemed to be really good at portraying emotion and giving all around good delivery + intonation to his lines, and sakuya retaliated with complimenting juza on his passion and rapidly growing skills in improv and general stage presence

-If u havent noticed already, they are cotton-candy levels of sweet :3

-Sakuya secretly wants to know juza’s workout routine

-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they’re angels

-Saku knows that sometimes juza doesnt talk alot, not in a rude way, but he’s just a bit quiet, so he doesnt push juza to socialize but he’ll keep talking to him so he knows he’s not being left out

-On that note, sakuya has made it a point to specifically ask juza his opinion on something during group conversations to get him a bit more out there

-Sakuya really does love seeing the hyodo-sasika family interact, and when they all collectively noticed his yearning for a family dynamic, they pretty much adopted him. Saku comes over for dinner with juza and kumon, sometimes with muku, and sometimes with all of them!!! Their parents adore saku vv much

-Juza once saw sakuya climbing onto a counter to get something from the top shelf and remembered how kumon does the same, from then on he told sakuya to ask him if he needed help reaching something

-Its kinda funny, they have an older-younger brother dynamic, but depending on the situation its like they switch roles

-Usually sakuya is like an older brother tho

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.

uhhh i don’t know how to word it but like. do you think about the fact juza probably chased away thousand of creeps from random girls he sees on the street late at night ? because he often go to the convienence store (or however you spell it), so he’s out late.

and once the threat is away they’re always so thankful because. he just literally saved them ? and he goes “t’was nothing.” but he has no idea how much importance his action had on their lives ? who knows what those piece of shit could have done?

anyways juza still somehow thinks so lowly of himself and doesn’t realise the impact he has/had on some people and yeah

homare and citron being language learning buddies?? YES PLEASE 

[this ended up kinda long, so just so y’all know, it continues after the cut!] also, if you like this, consider sending me asks or requests about anything a3! related! please just reference my pinned post on what i will/won’t write. :3 thank you and hope you enjoy my ramblings~~

As I will be writing about/referencing languages I am not entirely fluent in here, I just want you all to be aware that it is not my intention to offend anyone! I took care with my words, but if I in any way made an insinuation that was not correct/ offensive, please let me know!! I’d greatly prefer being corrected, over spreading misinformation. In terms of my personal language experience, i speak english natively, i have been learning french for about 5 years, i am attempting to teach myself basic japanese [haven't progressed very far lol],and i know a few phrases in arabic, but only verbally/auditorily [i only understand them when spoken]. I'm a bit of a language nerd, and i love learning phrases in other languages!!

You know, I really think citron and homare are language learning buddies!!! Like, citron is so much more intelligent and perceptive than he’s given credit for [citron appreciation post incoming? Mayhaps!!] and homare does tend to use languages other than japanese in his poems. If I'm not mistaken, he’s canonically used english and french words, both incorporated into his work in ways that are [pretty much] grammatically correct! Homare has also spoken about his love for Shakespeare, and while it’s likely he’s been reading translated versions, I wouldn't put it past him to try and learn enough english to read them while referencing a dictionary. 

As for citron, it seems to be canon that zahran is an arabic-inspired language, if not fully arabic. [side note: in arabic, zahran means ‘radiant/glowing/flower’ in most translations and is used as a name] It’s hard enough to learn and speak a language not your own, and knowing that the pronunciation, speaking, and writing patterns of arabic are not very similar to that of japanese makes the fact that citron is fluent in japanese with the occasional slip-up is very impressive!![also, take into account that i think we have evidence enough to say most of these ‘slip-ups’ are kinda on purpose to make the others laugh] If i am remembering correctly, i believe citron has also used words and phrases in english. which is also a really difficult language!!

Now, multilinguals do tend to bond over the difficulties and rewards of learning languages, and I really see this kind of relationship starting between citron and homare when they realise they both like learning languages!! Just, I'd imagine them comparing notes, quizzing each other on vocab and just learning better by doing it together!! I’d like to think that they have movie nights with whatever language they’re focusing on every now and then. I feel like citron would suggest it and homare would jump at the chance to learn new phrases and train his ear to recognise the speaking patterns better so he could incorporate it into his art. It just feels like there would be such a soft, gentle atmosphere as they slowly get engrossed in the film, notepads and pens left to sit on the couch and other members of mankai sitting around the tv screen, following along with the subtitles. Also consider, making multilingual puns >:3. 

(Not exactly part of the hc, but i just wanted to share this because it made me happy!! In english there’s the phrase, “Birds of a feather, flock together.”, meaning people who are similar/have similar interests gravitate towards each other. In french, that phrase is approximately, “Les oiseaux avec le même plumage, s'assemblent a le même rivage”. Which directly translates to, -birds with the same feathers gather at the same river- which has the same meaning as the one in english! Now, the thing that really gets me about these phrases is, 

THEY BOTH RHYME!!!!!! 

I love rhymes and literary devices in any language, but i just adoreee that these two phrases happen to rhyme in both languages!!)

I just think it's awfully sweet how it's common to say that when you get a character you wanted in a gacha pull you say that ‘they came home’!! I think that's just so sweet and it's such a nice sentiment, like, it feels warm and loving and maybe I’m reading a bit too much into it, but i just love how innate the need for home and love is in humans. Hope your faves all come home <3
