Don't Dead, Open Inside

(She/Her) Perpetually tired, eternally sarcastic.

[graceinitiatessarcasm]

Picture these two:

The first has a bit of a complex about how absolutely useless (and hideous) everyone else in his vicinity is…

Until he becomes totally interested in (cough:obsessed with) the second’s ability to verbally assault people and look great doing it.

TL;DR version: everyone is ugly and useless to Himuro Reiji EXCEPT Sameoka Shoji 🤭

I present: Sore Loser

Pairing: Himuro Reiji/Sameoka Shoji

Summary:

It would come as no surprise to anyone that Reiji Himuro hated to lose.

Sameoka might prove to be an object worth winning, though.

(AKA - Reiji fixates on one of the only people he doesn't consider to be ugly, talentless and a waste of his time (cough: unlike Gandhi.)

After seeing everyone’s favorite and least favorite characters from the H&L Character Challenge, I’ve been struck with an idea

Pick one of your favorite H&L characters

Pick one of your least favorite H&L characters

Now you gotta say one bad thing about your fav and one nice thing about your least fav (you’re welcome to be as genuine or as totally unserious as you want with this!)

Hyuga, you’re a huge vibe a lot of the time, and that’s why I love ya. But something happened by the first movie where you suddenly went from looking about mid to late 20s to being a middle aged uncle and that’ll forever perplex me.

Look, while Magoroku may be a least fav of mine, that doesn’t mean that I don’t see his appeal. Yusei did a great job playing him and his scene with Fujio is super memorable, but he just didn’t interest me as much as the other Suzaran members did.

💜 Now it’s your turn! 💜

I’d also like to tag the following peeps to participate if possible, but please don’t feel obligated at all to do it!

@hyugaruma @wolame-o-ccx @graceinitiatessarcasm @auromelt

[hyugaruma]

Favorite: Ranmaru

Where do I even begin… Ranmaru, you are definitely a horrible cretin who deserves the absolute worst. Zenshin kicking the shit out of you wasn’t enough, tbh. You have major unfixable issues, and generally you just suck. I would love to see a woman kick this man’s ass. (Me.) Seek help, sir.

Least Favorite: Smoky

Listen, I need to redeem myself here and say that I don’t hate Smoky. Not even slightly. He just kinda bores me. BUT, I will say that I appreciate his immense value of friendship and found family. I love a character who is ride or die (literally) for their loved ones. Smoky deserved better. Petition to blood sacrifice Ranmaru to bring back Smoky.

i’m too lazy to go through all my moots but please feel free to do this, tagged or not :-))

[uaichiixeno]

Favorite: Murayama

I love this little gremlin guy with all my heart but GOD he made a fool out of himself so many times. Like I get it, but also there were probably less humiliating way to ask to join sannoh. Although to be honest I would probably be acting like a complete clown too if a hot blonde dude on a motorcycle beat the living shit out of me too so I really shouldn't be talking :D

Least Favorite: Ice

This man is so annoying in canon but he does have good music taste so I can't REALLY be mad at him. I also think his philosophy surrounding change is really interesting, and that was the part that interested me the most about him. But the hair...do something different with it please the fried mess is not flattering babygirl

love y'all can't wait to see yours!!

[graceinitiatessarcasm]

Favourite: Jesse

I love him but he’s a feral little gremlin who casually witnessed an attempted assassination like it was a picnic. He was locked up for a reason 💀 the second he got out he did nothing but cause trouble (slay though 💅🏻)

Plus, just ask Cobra out already, sheesh…

Least favourite: Kirinji

He’s creepy as hell and needs to be locked up but gave us hands down one of the funniest scenes in the franchise when he had his head bashed off a table.

Unintentional comedic genius 😂

I don’t know anyone else to tag but I’m just enjoying reading y’all’s responses! 😂

If you’re in the High & Low fandom then you’re gonna loooooove my AO3.

A rundown of some of my most popular fics:

Lessons

Pair/s: Murayama Yoshiki/Cobra, Hyuga Norihisa/Ranmaru

Summary: Murayama seeks advice about his not remotely subtle crush on Cobra in the most unlikely place (AKA - Hyuga and Ranmaru are Murayama’s gay parents).

Vibe: utter fluff, humour and wholesomeness for the OG High & Low ship

The Happy Family

Pair/s: Basically all the Rudeboys in polyamory glory (you might even spot Nikaido/Kain)

Summary: Smokey recovers from his illness and reminisces and revels in the attention of all of his boys.

Vibe: Gay galore, happy AU, wholesome

Deja-Vu

Pair/s: Cobra/Murayama

Summary: Murayama thinks his crush on Cobra is subtle but Cobra clearly has eyes in his head and can see the obvious.

Vibe: Murayama is a puppy but Cobra loves him for it, wholesome fluffy love

The Surprise

Pair/s: Rocky/Koo, Kizzy/Kaito

Summary: Koo thinks Rocky is hiding something from him and spirals a bit buuuut maybe it has something to do with his birthday coming up…

Vibe: elements of angst to have a big gay payoff at the end that is tooth-rottingly cute

Friends

Pair/s: Hiroto Amamiya exploring the potential of the Mighty Warriors & prison gang (so a lot of polyamory and potential relationships)

Summary: Hiroto struggles in the aftermath of the Kuryu group’s defeat but manages to find friendship in the unlikeliest place.

Vibe: found family, introspection, longing

The Spark

Pair/s: Jesse/Cobra

Summary: Jesse is lowkey (highkey) obsessed with Cobra after their fight and does very little to hide it. Including introducing Cobra properly to his Mighty Warriors/Prison Gang family.

Vibe: two idiots in love, meeting the family, instant attraction

A Moment’s Peace

Pair/s: Hanaoka Fujio/Ueda Sachio

Summary: Sachio isn’t sure when it started becoming so casual (AKA - Fujio shows up at Housen all of the time because he’s in love)

Vibe: fluff, gays being gay, Housen boys narrating their leader’s love life

Like The Sun

Pair/s: Hanaoka Fujio/Takajo Tsukasa

Summary: Fujio’s gay introspection on how pretty and perfect Tsukasa is and Tsukasa pretending like he doesn’t love that absolute dork. Yasushi also makes a very on-brand cameo.

Vibe: fluff, introspection, friends to lovers

In total, we’re talking 59 fics and counting across the High & Low franchise, including The Worst films.

I’ve been part of this fandom for so long but I genuinely forget to promote my shit soooo if you love it, I’d love to know! 💖

I’m sure I’ll create an actual master list at some point of all the pairs but to summarise, there’s plenty of rare pairs for totally background characters, some of the most popular ships, and a shit ton of polyamory.

Enjoy ✨

Hello 👋🏽 I wanted to know if it was possible for me to repost your « The *stereotypical* signs as High & Low characters » post on Twitter (with credits of course !) ? If it’s not then don’t worry I don’t mind 💓 Also have you been watching High & Low The Worst Episode 0 ?

It’s absolutely fine! I appreciate you asking :)

And I haven’t yet! I tend to wait for all episodes to be subbed then watch them in one go. Have you watched it? 😁

“do you think god stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created?” is probably THE hardest line of dialogue ever spoken in the history of modern film and people regularly search google for its origin just to find out steve buscemi said it in a movie about adolescent spies from 2002
