The Secret Ingredient Is Cinnamon, And Found Family!!

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??)

Ok, but imagine Juza, just standing in a doorway, blocking out almost all the light, shoulders almost touching the walls, looking down at everyone and mumbling:

"You want a scone?"

annotation hc (summer troupe part1)

here’s the beginning of the summer troupe’s annotation hcs!! these are so fun to write, so i’ll probably send out misu and kazu’s later today!

Tenma: just in case, spoilers for this one!! Since he used to get major stage fright, I think he would probably wear out his script pretty fast. He would always be clutching onto it once roles are assigned. He probably memorizes his lines fast but he’d be too nervous to not have his script on him, even after everyone else is off book. There are the most markings around any long passages and entrances since he’s fine once he gets going

Yuki: cute stickers on the cover!! Uses cute stationary materials throughout the script, but that doesn’t mean he’s all willy nilly about it!! Yuki is vv careful about where he uses his stickers and markers. He probably color codes lines too! Once they get to blocking scenes (figuring out where you will stand and move while acting), he will take extensive notes in an extra notepad for costumes. For example, if there seems to be a lot of movement in the scene he will make sure that the costumes used there will allow for free movement

Muku: muku seems to be the type that writes their reaction to the script on the page. For example, if a character has a cool monologue or a smooth line he would probably write ‘soo cool!!’ in the margins, or something to that effect! Will also write a lot of notes for himself on delivery, eg: ‘tenma said to deliver this line more confidently’ or ‘director says this one should be louder!’ or ‘***practice this monologue later***’

a3! annotation headcanons

as a theatre kid, i couldn’t help but think about how the troupe members would annotate their scripts! I have all of act 1 of the spring troupe written out so I'll be posting them all soon! I'll be going in order of the troupes, but feel free to request a character!

Sakuya: i feel like he’d take a ton of little notes in the margins of his scripts! almost everything that comes up in practice is in there lol, he’d write down blocking, any notes on line delivery, and mark any passages he has to emphasize, i feel like he would use sticky notes too, which may become a problem as they fall out as he keeps using the script for weeks on end

Masumi: if the director said it, it’s in there. ESPECIALLY if it’s something the director praised him on~ i feel like masumi would do a bit of underlining, but if confronted about the barrenness of his notes, he would claim he just takes ‘mental notes‘ 

Tsuzuru: oh boy, this poor kid’s script is falling apart after only one week. even if he’s the one who wrote it all, he’s take a TON of notes on blocking, delivery, emotion, cues, and occasionally he’d mark where technical stuff happens ‘just for reference’. because of how much he’s writing in that thing, there are probably miscellaneous notes in there too, you may even find a grocery list! 

So you know how during the ‘street act’ mini game to get coins the characters all juggle, right? I feel like the second citron learned to juggle [if he didn't already know how] he WOULD NOT STOP. EVER.  Fruit on the table? He’s juggling it. 3 props left in the wings? He's juggling them. Any objects in close proximity with each other that are vaguely similar in shape and size? They are being juggled. It's to the point where all the kids in the neighborhood recognize Citron as that cool guy who juggles a lot!!! I feel like Citron is definitely the type to try and make any sad kid happy, so even infants coo when they see him because they recognize him!!! Of course this must mean that neighborhood parents recognize him, and anyone who can make a crying child calm down is an angel in their books. In conclusion, juggling Citron. He loves being the neighborhood juggler.  

Hi!! I wanted to say I absolutely love your annotation and Juza posts!!(Your Juza content gave me drawing inspiration again!! And on that note, I was wondering if I could possibly get hcs with Taichi and Juza, with an s/o who makes them snacks (and baked goods) after practice? Thank you for your great work!!

ahh i appreciate this sooo much, thank youuuu!!!! i’m so glad i was able to give you inspiration!! i hope you like these~

Taichi

-Oh my goooooooddd he’s gonna freak out!!!

-His s/o!!!???!? Bringing him snacks!!!??? That they got for him?!!?!?

-He’s just soo incredibly happy that his s/o went out of their way to even show up to see him after practice, add in the fact that his s/o went and made something specifically for him?

-W o w

-He’s justtt blown away

-He’s gonna insist that he shares the snacks with his s/o and, if there’s enough he’s gonna share with the rest of his troupe/whoever is hanging around

-He has two hands, one for snack and one to hold his s/o’s hand hehe

-And he’s allwayyys singing his s/o’s praises when the others are around, so his s/o kinda become well known their baking talent

Juza

-Ok. so he’s also gonna freak, but quieter

-His eyes are just gonna dilate bc his sweet s/o brought him sweet treats?? Woaaaa

-A difference between him and taichi: his s/o and he are usually the only ones snacking, unless they specifically made enough for the others too

-He’s gonna be kinda quiet when eating them bc he’s just so happy that his s/o noticed his “hidden” sweet tooth and even made him snacks

-If one looks carefully, there is a liiitllee smile on juza’s face thats gonna last for like, an hour!! He's sooo happy!

(for both of them, just be aware that everyone in mankai think this is the cutest thing, and some people are a little jealous)
