A3! Winter Troupe - Tumblr Posts

homare ramble incoming!!! continues for like, two more short paragraphs under the cut~

I feel like homare might get into states where he’s just writing for hours and hours at a time and he just ends up surrounded by pages of art with a euphoric tiredness afterwards. Like, this has probably happened all over the dorm/[possibly even veludo way] at this point. The first time it happened, homare was sitting in the common room, furiously writing in a notebook and turning page after page, and his troupe mates got kinda worried because he was so quiet? and practically unresponsive when spoken to. That is until someone from the spring troupe walked by, took a look at our resident poet, and recognised it as a similar ‘writing spree’ as tsuzuru gets sometimes. 

Eventually, mankai has gotten used to finding homare in the strangest of places, face either lit up with joy, or furrowed in concentration. Its become a general agreement that, depending on how long homare has been writing [usually determined by how many pages are nearby or how many people have seen him in that same position in the past few hours], someone brings him something to drink and eat. I feel like the first time he was given snackies while writing he kinda just, stopped and looked up, took a moment to process what happened, and just beamed so brightly. He was just so struck with love for his friends and the care they showed him when he was working!! The wholehearted support homare gets when he snaps out of his writing trance and comes down to the kitchen, [where omi has already made a meal for him] has homare just giddy with joy and moved to recite poetry as he walks the halls of the dorms.

On the occasions where homare falls into this in his room while hisoka is there, hiso is usually lulled to sleep by the scratching of the pen on the paper and the soft little noises homare makes while writing. But, if hiso wakes up and homare is still writing, he will go grab his bag of marshmallows and put one in front of homare on his desk so he could at least stop to eat one or two with him. :3

annotation hcs (winter pt 1)

I haven't finished the winter troupe’s first chapter yet, so that would explain if any of these are ooc or feel kinda bland, sorry!

Tsumugi: king of annotations, I don't make the rules >:3. He’s the one whom everyone goes to when they have no clue how to go about something academic, and this kinda extends to script annotation. He takes such nice, neat professional notes on most of the pages. [as i said in kazu’s hcs, i think that most of the post-high school kids are fairly solid on note-taking] butttttt, i feel like on certain pages this dweeb[in a loving way] just forgets what the word neat even means. Im talking scribbles, lengthy notes for no reason random analysis, dogeared page, doodles, scratchy marks in the margins, he just gets into a state where his brain goes *BRRRRRR*. Most of it is nice though I promise.

Tasuku: (LOOK IN THE COMMENTS, some lovely people corrected me on this one as we have textual evidence about tasuku’s note-taking later on in the chapters!!!!!) mmmostly minimal notes. Some underlining here and there, mostly reminders to himself on movement and how to get down the subtleties of the script. I feel like he would dogear pages alot too! He’s the one who forgot to write his name on the front of his script, but after a couple of reminders he did it

Hisoka: there’s like, 10 words total in that entire script. Idk he just, feels his script, reads it, sleeps with it under his pillow, and then he’s got it. <- on that note, he definitely sleeps with his script sometimes. Once he told tsuzuru that the scripts were ‘comfy’ and tsuzu just accepted it and moved on with his day.

Homare: WHERE TO START WITH THIS ONE?? So, first off, somehow he managed to make the script look like an illuminated manuscript with all his additions?? Used one of his fountain/calligraphy pens with gold ink to write his name on the front cover~ puts in poetry when inspiration strikes him, so some of the pages are -covered- in writing. Adds little commentary to his notes like muku!! ‘Hmm?? This character seems to be quite nervous!!! Mayhaps this ought to play into their stance!!’ Uses multiple pens when annotating, so there is a bit of a range of color in there, mostly blues, reds, blacks, and on occasion some other colours. I feel like he would use a shade of wine red most often tho!

Azuma: unlike homare, i feel azuma has one specific pen dedicated to annotating his script. He always keeps it neat and tidy, no folded corners, and the script isn’t too worn-looking at the end of the run, he even has a place in his room where he keeps all his scripts! Tries to keep his notes in a nice little aside in the margins, keeping the lines nice and straight!

I present to you, concept:

homare: Rise and shine dear friend!!!!! The time to begin our day has come upon us!! We mustn't delay and I shan't be taking no for an answer!!!

hisoka: 5 m're mins pls

homare: Of course!!! And if you attempt to sleep for any longer I shall simply tempt you out of bed ~avec chocolat chaud~!! [~with hot chocolate~ in french]

hisoka, peeking up from the covers with an inquisitive look: …?

homare: WITH THE LITTLE MARSHMALLOWS YOU ARE SO FOND OF!!

hisoka: begrudgingly scampers out of bed

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!!)

hiii could you please make some general friendship headcanons for hisoka and homare? i love their dynamic so much ^_^

Oo ofc!! I adore the interactions between hisoka and homare!!! I think it's very clear that there’s a lot of platonic love within all the troupes, and homare plainly expresses that he loves his troupe and waaa it makes me so happy!! I love the expression of love between friends and all the instances of unconditional platonic love makes me feel all warm and happy :D

-Homare calls hisoka ‘my dear friend’ and occasionally ‘my dear’ among other platonic terms of endearment

-As i 100% believe homare is a language nerd, whenever he learns a new term of endearment or a beautiful new word he tells hisoka first!

-Hisoka once found tea-flavoured marshmallows and gave homare a bag, homare does not exactly love marshmallows, but he shared them with hisoka and he was incredibly happy knowing that hisoka shared something that he loved with him

-It's canon that homare often looks after hisoka, but I think it probably goes both ways! If hiso wakes up in the middle of the night and homare is up working, he will ask him to sleep, but if he doesn't, he’ll put a handful of marshmallows on homare’s desk so he has snacks while working.

-Every now and then hisoka will make tea for the two of them and they’ll just sit and chill for a bit, hiso appreciates the quiet and homare likes sharing tea

-Whenever homare is out for a long period of time during the day, hisoka misses him! He keeps abruptly waking up, looking around him, and going back to sleep. Once homare finally comes home hisoka sleeps better

-For the first of homare’s birthdays at mankai, hisoka got a mug that said #1 poet, but he scratched out the #1 so it just said poet and just left it on homare’s bed. Homare loved it!!!!! He uses it all the time :)

-Out of habit, whenever homare is getting something from the kitchen/ heating something up (king cant cook im sorry) he usually grabs something for hisoka!

-They.,.,they just take care of each other .,,,,

-The TENDERNESSS WAAAA IM GETTIN EMOTIONAL

-you know heat sources and sinks? Homare is the source and hiso is the sink, (meaning homare is a bit warmer than hiso, so sometimes hiso will just curl up near/on homare to get some warmth)

-Hiso is fairly warm, but i think homare tends to be a bit warmer

From his home lines, we know that Azuma hates bugs. I’d like to imagine that when he was in his room alone and a bug friend came along he would kinda freeze and lock eyes with the little critter. While keeping eyes on it, he calls over one of the winter troupe members (it usually ends up being Tasuku{sometimes Tsuzuru and Omi automatically walk on over because they’re used to ‘bug removal duty’}), and they have to scoot the bug onto a piece of paper and let it go outside. A few weeks after Guy shows up, Azu kinda just leans over and lightly tugs on his sleeve to let him know there’s a leggy critter. (Guy doesn’t mind insects all that much, and it freaks out Azuma every time Guy holds one in his hand when he can’t find paper)

tsmumu my king,.,

I feel he’s totally the type to start emails with,

“To whom it may concern,

With all due respect, I must say.....”

AND THEN HE POLITELY EVICERATES THEM <3

okay- so i really love azuma, hisoka, & homare and all their interactions together and i was just wondering if maybe u could make azuhisohoma headcanons about them just being a cute fluff @ss polyamorous/polyfidelity mess. (If u dont know what that is i suggest looking up and looking into it, but if u do and u dont wanna do it i completely understand~😌💕)

Dw i knew what it was upon reading your req and aaaaaa!!! They are so cute together please.,.,.

I think that homare was actually the one who suggested they started a relationship together. I think homare and hisoka were probably together in a QPR (or romantic relationship!), when hisoka asked homare what he thought of azuma

Homare kinda didn't know what he meant at first and started gushing about how amazing and charming he though his friend Azuma was and how he admired how Azu carried himself like a piece of art and how absolutely-

“Like for us to date I mean”

Homare practically started screaming bc he was so excited!!!!!!!!!!! Stg this man is so full of emotions all the time it's adorable!!

The reason hiso asked was bc after he and homare officially got together, hiso still loved sleeping and cuddling with azuma because his presence was so genuinely calming, and he even found himself opening up to him about his past and everything he did and didn't remember. Hisoka realised that the two people he was closest with in Mankai were probably homare, azuma, and chikage (in the sense of being brothers that are either at each other’s throats 24/7 or sharing spiced baked goods, there is no in-between with cabbage man). But he also seemed to feel that same warm fluttery feeling he gets when he snuggles with either of them.

Hisoka also noticed how homare absolutely lit up whenever azuma would ask to hear the poet give a recitation of his latest works. From his previous line of work, azuma knew that people loved being listened to, and while it may have been a simple gesture of his to quote homa’s own poetry at him, Homare’s heart swelled to bursting every time it happened.

Suffice it to say, once all three dorks sat down and talked about their feelings, realized they wanted to try and have a polyamorous relationship, and tried a test run for a week, they never looked back

(during their first cuddle session as a group tears were shed. And by that I mean many. Many tears were shed. By homare. BBY CRIED HE JUST FELT SO LOVED)

They go out on café dates every week and there are 100% people who come to the café on those days because “omg is that THE ARISUGAWA????” “oh shit, who's the hot guy with the white hair?” “lol which one?”

Hisoka and azuma noticed people staring at them and while hiso couldn’t care less, azuma thought it was hilarious and decided to give their fans a little something more to look at >;)

He put the most subtle and pretty makeup on his two bbys and the amount of times people walked right into shit just because they were enraptured in the beauty of the upper-right-corner table was astronomical

They all do each other’s hair its so soft im sobbing

Hisoka prefers azuma brushing his hair, and he likes brushing azu’s hair (if he can stay awake long enough), but! He really likes it when homare cards his fingers through hisoka’s hair when he’s taking a nap on the poet’s lap (accidental rhyming >:D)

Azuma likes having homare style his hair since he’s incredibly good at intricate and pretty braids and assorted hairstyles homa comes up with on his own

Homare is actually vv particular ab his hair so he brushes it and styles it, but he loves having his hair played with <3

They’ve all memorized how the others like their tea+ what their favorite snacks are
