it follows by waterparks but through the lens of matt engarde:
"kiss me like nobody would when i was 15" taken not in the way that nobody kissed him, but nobody did so with care, with tenderness, with respect. love him, all he wants is love. something real and true and messy, sure, but in the way love is. Not lust. Kiss him in all the cheesy teen romance ways he was never allowed to experience.
Fuyuhiko only lets people he trusts stay in his blind spot, and if he trusts someone, well he likes them a whole lot! 🤗

i could say i love matt engarde because he is tragic young hollywood and there's also implications that his relationship with inpax was Very Bad by way of her being his manager and quite a few years older and i could get really into that and dig into the nuances of his character
but it is So Much Easier to just say murder man pretty
did this for the unofficial blue lock zine on twitter, which you can look at here !! my prompt was "sleepover" :]
some thoughts/headcanons i had while drawing this:
since snuffy treats football as a job, i thought it would be in character (and very cute) if he gave his players mandatory rest days
these rest days aren't only when they dyed barou's hair but also when they have sleepovers n hang out!!
sleepover nights are arranged by aryu and sendou-- aryu does the decorating while sendou gets the snacks, chooses the movies, etc.
niko and aryu are watching puella magi madoka magica on niko's laptop. so far, mami is aryu's fav
niko's laptop has a sayaka miki sticker and a very off brand banana fish sticker that someone got him
sendou is always the first to fall asleep and every time the other members stuff a pillow under his head & throw a blanket on him. he's a heavy sleeper so once he's out, he's OUT
the plushies niko and aryu are holding belong to sendou
aiku looks like he's texting a girl & everyone assumes so but rly he's just watching baby animal tiktoks (usually baby chicks). sometimes niko gets nosy to see what he's doing and every time he gets whiplash
aryu painted everyone's nails black !!! though he made his own nails look a lil fancier because its ~osha~
barou is invited to everyone of these sleepovers but he rarely comes willingly, aiku and lorenzo usually drag him into this mess
in the drawing, barou's returning from a quick bathroom break or smth and while he was gone, lorenzo took his chances and brought out the popcorn
lorenzo is a messy eater so popcorn crumbs r everywhere..... barou hates it sooooooooooo much
HOWEVER in the drawing the popcorn mess isnt entirely from messy eating!! the real reason is lorenzo got bored and started bouncing popcorn off of sendou's forehead (his ass is NAWT waking up)
after having enough sleepovers, everyone kinda has their own spots & usually when barou is there, he's between aiku and niko-- he's cool being around them bc they usually just keep to their phones/laptops
^^ this doesnt stop lorenzo from throwing popcorn at him tho LMFAO and that's when aiku becomes not only the final wall for blue lock but the only wall between barou (becoming a murderer) and don "ace eater" lorenzo
and i think that's everything........ !!! if u read all this. Damn ur kinda my goat (THANK U)
hi bllk tumblr i am returning with more kunigiri angst. (manga spoilers)
so like i am a massive loveless fan and i think their song haunting me is SOOO good in terms of a kunigami pov song post-wildcard. like here here look at some of my favorite lyrics yes?
I could climb another mountain
I could swim another sea
Fall apart again if you were next to me
'Cause it was all for you
It's a brand new day
But I can't even think straight
Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me
like. like come on. "i could accomplish all these massive physical feats yet i would also collapse in front of you if you were just here. and all of it was for you." because it was. kunigami going through wildcard not only for his own ego and his goals but to see his friends and loved ones again.
"got a taste of the bitter in me" also known as the understatement of the century. kunigami is barely a person anymore, let alone his own person, he's a shell meant to house the glory of noel noa and nothing more. and of course he is keeping this lone wolf mentality going, he has no other choice. after the hell he went through, maybe it's better to just accept the philosophy that was forced on him. at least it'll make him feel human again. sort of.
and god chigiri is haunting him. it's the way they can't develop entirely separate from each other. it's the way that when we see hints of kunigami's old personality it's either because chigiri is directly there or inspiring the conversation/moment in some way. it's the way that chigiri thinks of kunigami to motivate him. kunigami is trying so damn hard to keep this wildcard persona up but the ghost that is chigiri's presence and his own past are making it such a difficult task.
i need to write kunigiri fic i think .
kunigiri has had my heart since like the first few episodes of bllk and i still have faith in them especially after chigiri went to search out kunigami after the bm/mc match like. their story isn't over.
and although yeah this might be kind of unrealistic unless we get both of them playing on the u-20 team at the same time i still want to have hope or at least write a fanfic. because. just.
so we obviously know chigiri's nickname since the beginning has been "princess" and kunigami's goal for himself was always to be a hero which he has since given up/been forced to give up since entering the wildcard, and yes he gets referred to as "cyborg hero" & "cynic hero" etc. but never "hero" on its own anymore.
and because the chekov's gun that is chigiri's acl tear scares the shit out of me, what if chigiri has an outright reinjury or at least the heartstopping scare of one (if chigiri gets hurt for good i won't be able to handle myself) and it's this damsel in distress moment that prompts kunigami to return to his hero identity (because it's still there inside him, he's just buried it out of necessity).
i need this to happen. please. please let kunigami want to be a hero again and please have it be because he wants to protect chigiri please give this to me.
