Misumi Ikaruga - Tumblr Posts

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 !! :)

Misumi and kazu regularly re-enact the entire duck song. (Perfectly every time may I add!!)

Tenma hates it because it doesn't make sense??? Why doesn't the duck just get some himself?? It's so repetitive?? (He’s never seen the video before the first mini “performance”)

Tsuzuru and omi are silently suffering through hell every single time. But the triangle buds look like they’re having so much fun so they can never bring themselves to voice their frustrations. (Their little brothers used to play the song on repeat so they’ve been suffering this pain for years.)

Sakyo just leaves the room. (But he’s secretly happy that they’re all laughing and getting along)

Taichi, Kumon, and Citron join in if they happen to be there when it starts! (Once by chance all 3 of them were in the common room and they all joined in. In total 5 people were singing at once and it was chaos. )

author’s note: ahhh, there’s something so domestic ab seeing people on the phone..,.,,.

cw: i cursed a lil bit woops

Can sit still while on a phone call: tasuku, masumi, chikage, yuki, juza, hisoka (that is, if he even bothers to pick up), guy, azuma

Smiles the entire time to keep their tone of voice sounding alert and happy [semi-customer service voice]: sakuya, tsuzuru (unless it’s a close friend, then you have the privilege of hearing him sound like a zombie <3), itaru (same idea with tsuzu though, he’ll be gaming while he talks), muku, kazunari, kumon, tsumugi, izumi

Gestures a ton: sakuya, itaru, tenma, KAZU, KUMON, banri, sakyo, HOMARE!! Stg he’s practically doing interpretive dance.,.,king shit right there, matsukawa, sakoda, taichi 

Walks a lap around the entire building, outside, across a field, into another prefecture, with a mug in their hand the whole time. Ends the call not knowing where the fuck they are: SAKYO(he makes it home on his own, sakoda also kinda followed him but shhhhh), HOMARE, tsumugi if he can remember how to answer the phone in time(JKJK I LOVE HIM PLS), tsuzuru (he also gets home dw)

Sighs loudly and dramatically the second the call ends: ITARU, kazunari, yuki, banri, azami, tasuku, hisoka (again, only if he actually bothers to answer the call)

Does the actual weirdest shit without their voice betraying them at all: kumon (he literally starts doing a full workout, lunges, squats, even some yoga! Yuki has 110% walked in on kumon in bakasana pose [crow/crane pose] while setting up a picnic with a few of his friends), omi (full meal while on the phone with his photography club), itaru (you know good and well he’s playing at least 2 different games while talking, even for business calls), banri (mr. super ultra easy mode will go out of his way to do so much weird shit i cant even list everything here)

If there were to be a theoretical production of Cats the musical (SPECIFICALLY THE 1998 VERSION) by Mankai:

Banri pulls off Rum Tum Tugger with SO MUCH FLAIR. 

(Yuki is sobbing over the leopard print.)

Azami has a ton of fun doing the makeup!! But he’s also gonna be yelling at everyone because so much makeup means everyone needs to be ON POINT with their skincare, and MISUMI I SWEAR IF YOU STEAL THE PAINT TO SNEAK ONE MORE TRIANGLE ON KAZU’S FACE I’M GONNA SCREAM.

Mistoffelees could be either: Muku or Taichi! + Misumi def has the athletic chops for it! 

Omi/Guy as Old Deuteronomy <3

Every now and then i remember that [for all the essays i could write ab how they deserve better from the writers and official artists] citron and guy are muslim coded and my little heart fills :)

citron teaching omi and izumi how to make roti on a well aged tawa [think crepe pan!], one of the few things citron brought with him when he fled home. Smiling quietly when he teaches them how to scoop up curry without getting toooo messy, and openly grinning and cheering when sakuya manages to do it perfectly, laughing and agreeing when misumi says the shape between his fingers looks a bit like a triangle!!!! So cool!!!!!

Heart swelling with something…just something. When he hears masumi and tenma grumble about the saffron staining their fingernails. Just like his brothers do. Well, did. I mean, probably still do…right?

Every now and again, he was viscerally reminded that he. Was not. Home.

No one recognized his spices and perfumes.

No one joined in his little songs, references from his favorite movies. They couldn't.

He always, always had to check before he ate something for the ingredients list. Something he took for granted. A comfort, a sense of safety he took for granted.

No one recognized his mumbled recitations under his breath after watching horror movies. He was never the most intently devout, but the Arabic he did know soothed his soul.

The simplest things.

Tea tasted thin, bitter. Nothing like his rich, spiced chai.

That was it.

Little things.

Nothing special he could point to and say was ‘wrong’. It just, deeply, wholly, wasn't his.

Citron felt that gut wrenching twist and claw of loneliness when holidays rolled around. He dreaded celebrating alone.

He explained Ramadan to his new family! Assured them that, yes, he was definitely eating! He just wouldn't be eating with them in the day for a while! All with this…strange smile on his face.

The first week of the first Ramadan he spent at the dorms was sad. Just plain sad.

He wanted his brothers. He wanted them near him so bad it hurt. He wanted to hear those quiet little complaints and the jokingly angry yells whenever a commercial for food came on the tv. He wanted to wake up with them. Watch everyone slowly shuffle into the kitchen before dawn. When he was alone it felt wrong. Like he was taking food when he wasn't supposed to. It just. It wasn't right. Nothing about it felt right.

And then the second week started. And Izumi was in the kitchen before him.

Bleary eyed, blanket around her shoulders [that made his heart hurt, who knows why], and wearily peering at the stove as she stirred a pan of leftover curry, rice cooker with only 3 minutes left on the counter. And the young man was struck with how soft her ‘good morning’ was. How full of love and determination her smile was.

He was not ashamed when he cried into her shoulder for a minute or so. She seemed to understand.

brushing izumi’s hair and she falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing tsuzuru’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing kazunari’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing sakyua’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing citron’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing misumi’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing muku’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing hisoka’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing homare’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 brushing azuma’s hair and he falls the fuck asleep <333 

CONTENT WARNING: this piece is about disordered eating [nothing very graphic, but mentions of some of the milder side effects of not eating well for a somewhat extended period of time] so please please take caution in reading

I honestly think Taichi may struggle with eating properly. Like, I can see him feeling super nervous during the middle of spring, because ‘oh jeez, summer is coming and I totally gained weight, I know I did, ah shit.,,’. He’d get worried about how he has a smaller frame compared to the other guys in Mankai, and especially the guys in his troupe. Like, Omi is huge. When he’s in a bad headspace, just standing up near Omi makes him feel so scrawny and pathetic. So he starts eating in a very unbalanced manner. While simultaneously trying to lose his ‘winter weight’ and gain muscle, Taichi starts skipping meals and doing strenuous workouts way more often than his body can handle. He starts sneaking into the kitchen late at night, trying to find something to stave off his hunger so he can sleep. He starts feeling dizzy and lightheaded multiple times a day. He can barely help Yuki sew anymore because his seams keep going crooked and he’s just too woozy and ‘God it's warm in here’ ‘Shit I'm freezing’ ‘Dude I’m fine I swear! (I feel sick)’ and he can't keep track of where the needle is going. Two and a half weeks of this. He feels terrible. Not only is his body struggling to keep up with his activities and schoolwork, he feels incredibly guilty for lying to everyone. Because, let's be real, some of the older members of Mankai know something is up with Taichi. Izumi can see that something is wrong, but she can't pinpoint exactly what. Kazu is worried about his peppy little bro seeming so wiped out at 3 in the afternoon. And Omi. Shit. It feels horrible lying to him. And smiling while lying to his face? Taichi feels nauseated every time he does it. 

 “I ate already!!”

“Oh don't worry, I had a big lunch, I’m just not hungry for dinner!”

“Haha, I’ll tell ya if I’m hungry Omimiiii!” 

Three weeks. Three weeks of this. And Taichi is in the kitchen at 2 in the morning, with a sad little sandwich in his cold hand. And he stubs his toe.

And apparently that was the last fucking straw.

And he slides down the side of the countertop to curl up into himself on the floor. And he cries. And he cries. Juza was the first one who found Taichi curled up on the floor and got scared. Unsure of how to proceed, he gently laid his hand on the little boy’s shaking back. Opening his arms, allowing Taichi to lean in and be held, asked who he would be comfortable talking with. And now we have Omi and Izumi sitting on the couch with Taichi, comforting him and listening attentively as he tells them everything. No more lying. Never again. I promise. I'm so sorry. Omi and Izumi glanced at each other for a moment, and the two minds as one body, proceeded to reassure this kid in front of them. “Taichi, its ok” 

“...what?” 

“Listen to me, hey hey, look at me please? Taichi, listen please.” 

“It's okay Nanao. I promise. We love you.” 

“We care about you. I promise.” 

 “It’s alright.” 

“It's okay.” 

“We love you” 

All Taichi can do is cry harder, cradled in Izumi and Omi’s arms, surrounded by the warmest reassurance he’s felt in a while. Omi and Izumi spend the next few hours calming Taichi down, re-assuring him that they’re here for him, that they still love him, that they’ll always love him. that they could never be mad at him for something like this. And Izumi chokes a little bit between ‘like’ and ‘this’. Someone in her care, god, a child in her care was hurting so bad and she couldn't help sooner? She could have helped with this one. She knew what it felt like to…no, she knows what it feels like, she, oh god, she knows and it’s bad. She’s tensed up to hell and back, she will not cry right now, this is not about her. but of course, Taichi notices. And he silently leans his forehead against her shoulder in assumed understanding. Omi notices and he keeps one hand on Taichi’s knee and one hand slides to the middle of Izumi’s back. Warm. Solid. Safe.

Tucked up on the couch like this, Taichi falls asleep first. Omi and Izumi can’t bring themselves to sleep yet though, and they both sit there for a little over an hour, in rapt contemplation of the boy between him, and the way he looked younger when he was asleep. There was a quiet comfort in how they both laid a hand each on Taichi’s back, in how Izumi’s hand tentatively searches for Omi’s behind the cushion between them, and how Omi gently catches it, and holds on to her, absolutely swept with a sense of fierce protectiveness, of reverence, and a sickening twist of fear and deep seated care for the two sleeping bodies next to him.

Misumi just so happened to wake up earliest that morning, having planned to cut up some triangle shaped fruits for Natsugumi’s picnic later that day. Yawing and wrapping his crochet blanket [courtesy of Yuki] to bunch up on his shoulders, he sleepily shuffled into the living room, walking to pull aside the curtains to let in some sunlight almost on autopilot, when he stopped in the middle of the carpet, standing stock still. Oh boy. Something deeeefinitely happened here. Something not very nice at all. As quiet as he could, Misumi tip-toed over to the couch, gently laying his blanket over Taichi and Omi, and slid off his hoodie to cover up Izumi. As darling as they looked, all cuddled up, Misumi’s heart absolutely ached seeing how desperately it seemed Taichi was clutching onto the hem of Omi’s shirt, how protectively the two adults had been sitting around Taichi. Putting aside the fruit for now, Misumi thought it best to put on a pot of water to make some black tea for the little group when they woke up. It’s what his grandfather did whenever Misumi was feeling all sad and run-down. While the water boiled he snuck around to the rooms of anyone he guessed could have been awake that early, Chikage and Itaru, Tasuku, Kazunari and Kumon, he even flagged down Kamekichi and asked him to keep the living room clear of any visitors till the trio woke up. Bustling around the kitchen, he couldnt help but softly giggle as he heard Taichi yawn and stretch out, one arm hanging off of the couch, and Misumi caught himself blushing a little as he turned around to see Omi [still half asleep], pulling Izumi closer, who, in turn, snuggled in, with her hand resting on the back of Taichi’s head. Pretty cute.

tetsuro, omi, guy, tasuku, chikage, and misumi are all [individually] strong enough to pick up almost everyone in mankai. thus, anyone who wants it will get regular pick-upsies!!! everyone loves picking up muku bc hes such a sweet little fella :”)))) def the baby of mankai. almost everyone is strong enough to lift izumi in a princess carry and shes strong enough to lift quite a few troupe members too!! [teeechnically hisoka can too but he usually will not bother..,.,he does make exceptions for sakuya and muku tho,.,.,] azuma gets VERY giggly when he’s picked up,,.,ough,.,swoons,.,,.he is so special to me,,.,omi was veryyy hesitant when taichi asked him if he wanted someone to try and pick him up, so tai-chan obviously enlisted the help of guy and tetsuro to see if either of them were strong enough. turns out, both were!!! omi was blushing and smiling as FUCK it was vv cute

i will tell u a secret tho,.,.hisoka once picked up homare bridal style and homa HASNT SHUT UP ABOUT IT SINCE!!!! HE WAS SO ENAMOURED!!!! so!!! homare started regularly lifting weights with tasuku [he may have had to convince homa not to start lifting with 30 pound weights and mayyybe work his way up instead…] and after a good few months of spouting poems about exercising, he was finally able to lift hiso!!! good job homare!!!!

Summer Troupe's kisses

Tenma Sumeragi, Yuki Rurikawa, Muku Sakisaka, Misumi Ikaruga, Kazunari Miyoshi x gn! reader

Currently workin on that Nico x male reader oneshot while typing away bit by bit on other requests as well

Just did this to keep my fingers goin

Spring Troupe's kisses

Autumn Troupe‘s kisses

Tenma Sumeragi...

.

...kisses you as if you are the one asking for it. It's the embarrassment speaking when he rolls his eyes and leans in to kiss you. He's attempting to tease you to avert any and all attention from how flustered he actually is. Oh, you missed him so much that you want a kiss? Okay, fine, come here.

But believe me when I say he's overjoyed on the inside. You can feel it in every kiss, since he makes it his mission to put all his feelings into it so you can feel the things he's too embarrassed to say.

Yuki Rurikawa...

...kisses you when he feels like you deserve it. He's a critic and will tell you his mind without much of a filter, if any at all. There is just no reason to sugar coat it. And since he wants you to do your best and realize how much you can do, he made it a rule to give you a kiss everytime you did something good. Only in private though. It's light and soft, innocent, and always aimed to your cheek. He's not ready for kisses on the lips yet.

.

Muku Sakisaka...

.

...kisses you with much hesitation. His heart already beats 10x faster than normal when he grabs your hand, so imagine how he feels when it comes to kisses. Cue him overthinking about anything there is to overthink. Location of the kiss, kind of kiss, lenght of the kiss,...

He wants every kiss he gives you to be a good one to you, so you still want to kiss him the next time. So he forgets his age and that a peck on the cheek is already more than enough.

Misumi Ikaruga...

...kisses you three times. Three is the number of corners and sides triangles have. And triangles equal love. And you are the one he loves. So see it as an extra sparkle of affection besides the kisses themselves. His kisses are loud, and with that I mean the 'mwua' he makes whenever he kisses you. It adds a certain playfulness to the kisses which he really enjoys. His kisses are just loaded with energy, having the goal to make you giggle and hyped up as well.

.

Kazunari Miyoshi...

...kisses you a lot. Good morning kisses, goodbye kisses, hello kisses, goodnight kisses, and everything in between. A day with him is just filled with smooches and pecks. He just loves kissing you that much, and isn't shy about it either. Whenever he thinks you're being cute, mwua, there, a kiss to the cheek, no matter who is watching. Let them look and see what a lucky guy he is to have you as his partner.

If you are being just as kissy as him, prepare yourself to be blessed by the sight of the lovestruck smile on his face.

He is the reason why I smile every single day
