so, i was thinking about Juza, as you do aaaand---

I feel like juza might get intimidated by new things easily. I kinda referenced this in my post about script annotation (shameless self plug, i’m aware >:3), but i feel like this could extend to a lot of stuff. Omi has him helping in the kitchen? He is mega worried about messing up the food for everyone and he needs to be reassured that he is in-fact stirring the pot correctly. Muku lends him a copy of a manga he liked? It's sitting on Juza's desk for the first half of the week because he can't just open it?? That's muku’s book and he's worried he might rip a page or spill something on it?? And even if he gets it open, what if he doesn't understand it well enough to talk with muku about it afterwards? I feel like juza can definitely catch onto things once he’s shown the first few times, but starting things is just scary and nerve-racking for him. I think this might stem from how he was treated as a child and how everyone was scared of him and viewed him as a source of threatening, brute strength instead of juza hyodo, the kid in our history class. This could have lead to an automatic hesitance and extreme self-doubting when doing anything he doesn’t already understand, because the idea of breaking something or ruining something and, in turn, being feared and shunned was such a pervasive part of his childhood, it will definitely take a while for him to work through it.

and lemme just say waaaa juzaaa please know u are loveddd (and all you too!! i assure you all, you are stirring the pot correctly and i can’t wait to taste your soup!!)

the secret ingredient is cinnamon, and found family!!

Please imagine: omimi is making scones for everyone for the second time this week (bc mankai is full of a buncha ravenous teens) and juza is kinda just sitting quietly in the living room. Omi really wants to get Juza more comfortable near him and he is Highly Aware of Juza's sweet tooth, so he calls Juza over into the kitchen to see if he wants to help out at all. Juza is in there within a second bc he wants to help!! Also, omi’s scones!!

Omi finds it so endearing how eager Juza was to help, even though he’s hesitant to even pick up a spoon in fear of ruining the batter.

So! Omi decides to teach juza how to make a nice sweet lemon glaze for the scones while they’re in the oven!! (omi almost doubled over with laughter when he had juza taste the glaze and juza’s eyes just -d i a l a t e d- bc sugar!!!)

Omimi teaching juza how to do a nice little zig-zag of glaze on all of them waaa

Everyone devours the scones while omi regales them with tales of how good juza was at helping make them and juza is mildly dying of embarrassment but,,..,it does feel nice….

(banri says that hes not gonna touch them bc “juza made them??” but ofc he sneaks a bunch when he realizes they taste sooo good, he’s almost mad at juza for how good the glaze came out??)

annotation hcs (autumn pt 1 )

here’s the autumn lads! be warned, there are spoilers here!! fun fact: i usually cannot spell autumn correctly :)

Banri: taking notes??? Who’s she? Bringing your script to practice?? I don't know her?? To be honest, his script was barren and abandoned a lot in the beginning, like people would find it just lying around and go ‘banri? Don't you need this?’ and he honestly didn’t mind all that much. Later on! He actually gets more invested and starts making little annotations. He probably isn’t very used to annotating text so he would kinda just circle and fold the corners of pages that he needs to remember/deliver well. Later later on he does get better at taking notes tho!! Still minimal, but at least they exist and he knows where his script is

Juza: ok, when he first gets his script I feel like he was probably a little lost. He really didn’t know where to start so it would kinda just lie on his desk, blank. (don’t tell banri but juza was a little intimidated when he got the script and couldn’t bring himself to mark it up for a while) he eventually built up the courage to ask izumi how he should make notes and he’s pretty much stuck to that since! Most of his notes are on delivery, and what emotions should come through in certain words. Probably notes on pacing lines and how to deliver them more naturally too!

Sakyo: spoilers here! Since he’s another one who’s been involved in theatre since he was little, he can read through a script and just go, ‘ah yea, i got it’. Looking at the script it looks almost formal? Like, it almost looks like he used a ruler for underlining and the annotating looks like notes you could use in a textbook. If izumi ever forgets her script (which has happened at leaaaast once i promise u), he will let her use his, albeit with grumbling and lecturing <3 its ok sakyo, we know you love her

Taichi: Oh boyy, that poor script is gonna be destroyed.,,., im sorry, but our lil sk8er boi is just gonna be bringing that script with him eeveerryyywwheeereeee. He takes a buncha notes, but they are absolutely illegible and incomprehensible to anyone that isn't taichi nanao. Lots of scribbles and underlining and just a tooon of writing on almost all of the pages. Practically held together by binder clips by the end of the run of the play. Like, just imagine in the common room...

Yuki, holding up taichi’s script by a corner: what is this?

Taichi, absolutely beaming: my script!! :D

Y: it looks like it’s been through a warzone??

Slight spoiler warnings for some of juza’s backstage stories

You know what I keep noticing? In quite a few of his backstage stories, Juza offers sweets to the director, entirely unprompted. In both instances I’ve read so far he acts like it’s a bribe to have izumi not tell the others about his sweet tooth, but we know that juza does trust the director, correct? In fact, I’d say that juza has trusted our dear director 100% as of the middle of autumn’s first chapter. Now then, why would he act like he needs to bribe izumi to not tell the others about his not so little sugar addiction? My theory is that, as much as juza adores his sweets, he loves sharing them with others too. Since it was such a secret part of him, finally feeling comfortable enough to share it with others is so liberating it's almost scary. To help simultaneously get closer to his friend+director and deal with that fear, he pretends acts hehe like he’s just doing it to bribe izumi or that he just happens to have an extra so it doesn’t feel like he’s outright just sharing snacks~

Can I have some fluffy Azami x reader hcs? 🥺💕

thank you for sending this in! i hope these weren’t too ooc! i actually haven’t gotten to azami’s introduction but he really does live in my brain rent free~ n e ways,, hope you like these! (side note, not directed at you specifically dear anon, but with characters who are minors I will only ever do fluff like this!)

-SKINCARE TOGETHERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

-I'm so serious, he will -playfully- berate you if u don’t take care of your skin

-“If you keep forgetting to use these products, then you can’t wear my sweater!!”

-Will make you a Personalized skincare routine, with scents you like (or unscented if you want/are sensitive to perfume-y smells!!)

-Ohhh just imagine azami showing you how to apply a product onto your face and then he freaks out when he realizes he was suuuper close to you and touching your face 

-Will give you headpats when walking past him if no-one is looking uwu

-Very slow with getting comfy with physical affection, but once he does, expect him to rest him chin on your head, doesn't matter if you’re taller than him, he’ll just wait for you to sit down and he’ll sneak up behind you hehe

-Like, he’s gonna be callin you dummy but with looovee

-h*lding h*nds makes him blush across his face up to the tips of his ears awee

-Actually, his ears turn red very often when you’re around, even if you aren’t even talking to him hehe

-He’s just like “,.ahh, there they are.,,.,,.should i talk to them? Hjsjdnxhj LISTEN TO THEIR LAUGH AAAAAAAA,,”

-If u ever laugh at his snarky comments HE IS SO PROUD

-Also, pls pls pls paint ur nails together

-Like, you could do some nice black nail polish on him and he could do yours too!! You could even be all matchy matchyyy

-The first time he saw you wear his hoodie (bc you stole it hehe>:)c) he had to physically leave the room bc he was just so overwhelmed

-YOU BETTER KEEP WEARING HIS HOODIES THO <3

taichi seems to be the type to put coffee in a thermos[or just a general reusable metal bottle] and put it in the fridge to get cold. only to go to the fridge a while later, sip the coffee, realize its lukewarm, and then remember the concept behind thermoses.

his solution is to pop an ice cube in the bottle, put it back in the fridge, and hope for the best. [this is totally 100% not based on something i may or may not have just potentially did today :’3]

Hc that juza 100% did not know that you could dip your finger into (cooled!!!!) wax and it wouldn’t burn. 

Banri found this out when he was showing taichi how to make wax flower petals and was about to dip his finger in the wax when juza lunged over and grabbed his arm. [big sibling protection instincts never go away]. Banri was confused as hell and so was juza but for different reasons 

 Banri: ‘???? why are you grabbing my arm?? You wanna fight or something?’ 

Juza: ‘???? why are you actively trying to BURN YOURSELF??? Are you dumber than I gave you credit for??’ 

 Once it all gets cleared up juza is a teeny bit [read: very much so] embarrassed so he just leaves to go on a walk, while banri finds himself giggly and strangely glad knowing that juza moved that fast to try and ‘protect’ him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(kinda tried a shippy ending sentence here under the cut!)

Were friends supposed to make your chest feel tight like that? Was it weird that he could still feel juza’s strong and steady hand on his wrist?.....was it weird that he might have wanted, just for a second, to hold that hand?

AAAA can we PLEASE have sakyo and taichi dad and son bonding headcanons 😭😭

ANON I LOVE THIS IDEA THANK YOU

Mmmmmm, ok, so at first it seems like a very small thing, but sakyo always turns to look at taichi when he is talking so he always show that he is playing attention

Taichi couldn't pinpoint exactly what he was doing at first, and all he knew is that he always got the feeling that sakyo paid attention to him. But when he noticed that he actually moved to have a conversation his lil puppy heart was vv happy

Every time taichi gets a test back he shows it to two people right away, izumi first if the grade is lower, and sakyo first if he got a higher grade than he expected. Sakyo tends to respond with a ‘Good, that's what it should look like.’, because he's gotta look tough >:) but!! He always gives taichi a little pat on the shoulder bc he knows the kid worked very hard

On that note!! Sakyo is very serious about making sure that none of the kids overwork themselves or get burned out. He specifically makes sure that he tracks how long taichi has been working on any given thing to make sure he takes breaks

Quite a few times he’s had to pick up taichi off of his desk and tuck him into bed. Often times he checks to see what he was working on, if it’s something that he happens to know about he’ll talk with taichi about it the next morning to give him a little recap and maybe some extra details to impress his teachers with [if he doesn’t know the work he’ll have one of the older kids or adults try and help taichi, usually banri volunteers for this]

Sakyo never goes to sleep if one of the kids are still awake and working, so he will check in on all of them too

Whenever taichi goes out skating sakyo will stop him at the door and make sure he has his helmet and knee pad and elbow pads and a bottle of water and a first aid kit and is your phone charged? And do you have any pocket money in case of an emergency? And- [sakyo, gramps, the kid has already snuck out]

Speaking of! Taichi is a little gremlin and i do believe he’s snuck out before after his curfew, sakyo always notices and watches for him to come home

Every father’s day taichi hand-makes something for the old man (affectionate)

If sakyo has time he’ll take taichi out for something on his birthday, but if he’s busy for the day he’ll ask sakoda to hang with taichi [those two get along like a house on fire!!]

I need. Soft Banri. Please, your majesty. Soft Banri cuddles and kisses.

this boy istg i cannot.,.,,.,.he needs to stop being pretty >:(

Banri settsu, soft of heart, dumb of ass

Actually putting in effort and applying himself will kinda mentally tire him out, so expect to see him kicking down your door after a long day of rehearsals, expecting nothing less than your Top Tier Grade A++ cuddles

Loves to nestle his head in the crook of your neck, if you’re ticklish he’ll take every chance he gets to mess with you, but when he’s exhausted he barely moves, just latches onto you like a baby

arms locked around you, legs looped around your waist, the whole nine yards, he wants to be as close as physically possible,.,.,,..,.,.,.,.,..,.,dweeb <3

Softest little kisses imaginable, you can barely feel his breath ghosting against your cheek. That's usually not his style, but when he’s being soft with you he’s soft soft

When your relationship develops to the point where he’s comfortable being soft, he’s gonna be dragging you away from the others for cuddles 25/8

Juza is a little bit annoyed that he has to keep leaving his dorm room at Mankai bc ban-chan will NOT allow him to see how soft you make him, but you and Juza are good friends so he doesn't mind all that much

He will go bonkers bananas if you wear his clothes (translation: he tries to subtly make you wear his clothes. If you do he will be so emotional about it that he just reflexively punches the nearest soft surface)

good evening to juza hyodo and juza hyodo enjoyers
