When First Learning Different Languages (i Think He Knows At Leaaassst 3, If Not The Basics Of More),

When first learning different languages (i think he knows at leaaassst 3, if not the basics of more), Citron watched and listened to children’s programs and songs to get used to the basics of the language down. Because of this, Citron recognizes dozens of cartoon characters, songs, and the like from a ton of shows. Citron LOVES playing around with kids and they think it's cool that he knows so much!! Like!!! Just imagine Citron and a circle of lil kids singing along to one of the songs from a popular series and they’re all having so much fun!!!! Since pretty much all the people in the neighborhood know and like Citron, he’s trusted very much by exhausted parents who just cant keep up with the energy of their 5 year olds. One day he was helping a dad put his kid to sleep by telling the little dude fairy tales from Zafra and by the time he was done a flock of tots surrounded him asking for another one. (the adults were listening too but shhh) It became a sweet little routine that whenever Citron stopped by the park he would sing and tell stories to the kids to get them calmed down to go home. All the parents are forever grateful and everyone has fun!

 (i will never ever stop pushing my ‘love and respect citron’ agenda<3)

Author’s Note~

Hnmmhgng,..,,howww,,.,.how!! *shakes fists* how do i express how much i adore citron and how smart he is and how he deserves so much more respect in measly words!!!! asfdkjnkjdsksfnj i would like to shout and scream!!!

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

Thank you for answering my request!!!! It was so sweet and nice and eifnfidmeidkeisksi you're such a good writer!!!! I absolutely loved the headcanons 🥺🥺🥺🥺 but now I'm kinda curious, do you have a fave Mankai duo with boys from different troupes? My fave duo is Sakuya and Juza (obviously) but I also love Kumon and Azami lol ~🍁

aaaaAAAHHHHHH!! I’ve been freakin out over this message for like, hours hkwhwhkjhwej. This made me so happy!!!!! thank you!!!!! I really appreciate it!! As for a favorite duo.,.,.,.,hmmmmnmnh.,.,.,...., i think the interactions between azuma and preeeetty much everyone else are cute!! But I also really like how tsumugi and misumi watch the moon in their little cross troupe convo!! Waaa they’re all so cute!! 

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!!)

Getting out of mankai with a group of 5 or more is pretty much always chaos from beginning to end. However, whenever tsuzuru and omi are parts of these groups things actually go a bit more smoothly. They’ve kinda gotten used to corralling rambunctious children and getting everyone out the door so they just let ‘older sibling auto-pilot’ take over. Unfortunately this creates slightly embarrassing situations when certain statements slip out. 

Omi regularly fixes scarves and folds up the sleeves of whoever he’s closest to. Once, while putting on his scarf, omi automatically leaned down and zipped up taichi and muku’s jackets. He only realised after banri started laughing his ass off. The most embarrassing one was when he was half asleep and put on sakyo's gloves and scarf for him. Sakyo was honestly bewildered and just kinda stood there for a minute and omi never noticed because no-one said anything.

 A couple times Tsuzuru has asked, “Do we all have our shoes on and tied?”. Without his unconscious reminders masumi, taichi, tasuku, and temna could have actually ended up leaving the dorms with untied laces.

On daily basis I’m an introvert person who don’t talk much, I really struggle to express myself so I’m most of the time with a bored expression (?) While online I really don’t interact much now,but I like to show a bit more of a cool side with the things I like ‘cause I think I have a nice taste 😅
