THIS IS SOMETHING I TALKED TO MY FRIEND ABPIT OMCE AND I THOUGHT ITD BE FUNNY TO POST
slam dunk boys on tiktok
Mitsui
Mitsui would lowkey be the mf that posts cringy dancing videos/trends to make himself go viral. BUT IT WOULDNT WORK 😂😂😂😂
And he’d be annoyed asl about that. I feel like he’d be the type to chase clout on social media and he’d be FIENDING for those likes and followers.
I FEEL LIKE HE’D BE A LIL THIRSTY ON TIKTOK — like he wouldn’t be up in girls’ tiktok comments but he would def like and repost any girl he thinks is pretty. AND IF HE WAS FEELING BRAVE, he would find and add the girl’s IG.
His for you page would be a mix of pretty girls, NBA basketball player edits, and like sped up music. He’d be making edits of his own basketball highlights with capcut and posting them 😂
He’d spam videos to Ryota and Sakuragi, especially basketball edits.
Miyagi
Ngl he’d be the only one on the team to fr have clout 😂😂😂
He would post both thirst traps AND photos/videos of ayako. He’d love to post her to the cute TikTok trends (like this). Ayako would jus like the post and not say ANYTHING
One thing about Miyagi is that he dresses GOOD, and he’s gonna show that off! He’d post outfit of the day videos and he’d gatekeep tf out of his clothes. Like he’d straight up ignore any comments asking him where he got his clothes from 💀
He seems like the type to not respond to ANY TikToks he’s sent. Like Sakuragi would SPAM videos and Ryota isnt even opening any of them
If Ayako sends him things on TikTok tho.. OPENED IN LESS THAN A SECOND. He’d have his notifications turned on too so whenever she posts, he is all up in her comments. He’d reply to any other guy in her comments talking some “She’s mine lil bro”
Rukawa
I don’t think Rukawa would be very into social media, but if there’s one social that he has, it’d be TikTok
He’d probably have a completely empty acc with like no pfp, 6 followers, and no posts. He would NOT care about being famous on there, although if he even jus posted a video of himself, he’d instantly go viral.
His fyp would be cats, music recommendations, english lessons, and basketball. That boy has NO interest in anything else on there. And he thinks that the other guys’ videos are corny, especially if he saw Ryota’s thirst traps 💀.
But if he EVERRR made a guest appearance on the guys’ videos, he would instantly blow up. Like all the comments would be asking him who he is, what his @ is, and why he’s so mf fine. He’d make his acc private after that 😂
I like to think that his fan girls would try to find his TikTok and stalk his reposts to see what kind of guy Rukawa is, and what he likes
Sawakita
HE’D DEF BE FAMOUS ON TIKTOK, maybe even more followers than Miyagi.
I think he’d initially blow up bc him and his teammates would do the dance trends for fun during practice, but all the girls would comment things like “That guy in the middle is so fine 😍” or “He’s the only fine one 😭😭”. AND HE’D BE USING IT AS A WAY TO DISS ON THEM, like “None of those girls even want you” 😂 (then he gets his ass whopped)
Ok I don’t think he’s the type to be thirsty but from time to time, he’d def like and repost a pretty girl on his fyp AND HIS FAN GIRLS WOULD NOTICE IT AND GO CRAZY.
He’d def post highlights from his games over famous tiktok sounds (LIKE THE “I done did the impossible” one) and he’d have girls from diff schools start showing up to his games after finding him off TikTok
I feel like he’d jus post on Tiktok for fun? Like he’d post a little bit of everything; basketball, him lipsyncing songs, dance videos with his friends, and even TikTok lives. He wouldn’t really care about being famous on TikTok so he’d jus post whatever makes him feel good yk?
I like to think that he follows the Shohoku boys (even Rukawa somehow) and from time to time, he comments on their posts with “🔥🔥🔥”
Made this a while ago for fun, so I'm just saving it here!
Disclaimer: The names I chose are purposely very common/generic names-in real life of course there's a ton of variation and nuance for Spanish-language names based on the various cultures/traditions. This is just based from my experiences (as a Mexican-American), plus I even peaked through Mexican telenovela character lists for inspiration for common/generic names that people give characters lol, so that'll give you an idea of what the names on the list will be like.
Do you by any chance have some headcanons in mind about how our dear Shohoku boys would be as big brothers??? (I feel like Miyagi and Sakuragi would be too chaotic)
Content: Headcanons for the Shohoku boys as big brothers
Notes: Happy Birthday, dear Dy! I hope these can bring you a little bit of joy today. Thank you so much for your request.
Mitsui is the kind of brother that gets you into trouble. You were sent by your parents to reprimand him... And suddenly the both of you are getting an earful.
Likes annoying you way too much. You are just hanging out on the couch and suddenly you have his foot in your face.
Very protective and incredibly pouty about it. What do you mean, you have a date? You can't be going out with boys. They are up to no good!
Will always get you out of trouble though. If you find yourself in a tricky situation, he will immediately be there for you.
The kind of brother that you meet in the kitchen at 3 AM. He just nods and offers you some of his food.
Lends you his clothes. Then lends you some more. Gives you all his clothes that don't fit anymore. Your closet will be 50% made of his possessions.
Always shares his food with you.
Seems like the type to enjoy gossip. He doesn't really have any to offer himself, but he keeps up to date with the gossip that you bring to the table.
Such a cuddler. If you do not give him a hug every once in a while, he starts acting all dramatic about how you used to be so cute and sweet.
This guy is the type of brother who walks into your room when he is bored, just to flex in front of your mirror.
"The lighting in your room is just better."
Makes his boredom your problem. Tells you how he is bored, laments and sighs, but doesn't offer any activities.
You are his person to talk to about love. Every day, there seems to be another thing Ayako has done, that sent his poor heart into overdrive. Please, play Cupid for these two.
Absolutely takes you shopping. His style is perfect and he likes picking out clothes. Getting to pick out clothes for you is even more fun.
"You have to look cool if you are my sibling." is what he tells you, but truthfully, he just enjoys spending his time like this with you.
Get ready to go to the local basketball court... Just for him to not even let you touch the ball once. It's not his fault he is so quick!
Him telling you about his romantic endeavors is okay, but when you start talking about guys... He acts so dramatically. Don't break his heart like this. Hearing you talk about romance makes him feel old.
Your no. 1 company for any kind of romance movie. He loves chick flicks. Don't tell anyone about it.
Certified ideal big brother. This is canon. He is perfect.
He can be a little strict but that is because he wants the best for you.
Makes sure you stay on top of your academic assignments. He is very involved and totally ready to tutor you, if you are having any difficulties with any subjects.
Overjoyed if you express interest in basketball. Willing to teach you, as it is also a great way to work on his explanations and strategies.
The type of brother that never lets you pay. There is no chance you are going out with him and that you will pay for anything. Shopping for clothes? Going out to grab a snack? He is paying.
Picks you up and because he is so responsible, he also offers to drive your friends home.
Eats anything you cook. You could be the worst cook in town and he would still be super supportive of your cooking.
Surprisingly... Very soft. If you take the time to pick out a present for him, or even make one, he starts sniffling. He is a giant softy.
Definitely shields you from trouble of any sort. Takenori feels like it is his responsibility as your older brother to protect you in any kind of way.
If you bring home a partner... Good luck. He is friendly and cordial, but you have never seen your s/o shake this much. Takenori can just ooze authority, you just won't notice because he is a gentle giant to you.
You come home after a rough day at school, step into your room... Only for someone to be laying in your bed already.
Your room is closer to the entrance. It's not his fault. He was just so tired...
So incredibly lazy. Begs you to do his chores for him constantly.
Kaede straight up steals your food from your plate. Have your defense up, or you are left with a one-sided diet, as he picks his favorites from your plate.
More of the quiet type of brother, but if you really need something, he will help in whatever way he can.
Lost on topics of romance. The only time he will react is if someone hurts your feelings. Then it's time for him to fight said person.
You will have to deal with all of your friends crushing on your older brother. Such is the fate of his younger sibling. He is completely oblivious to this.
You will have to be into basketball as well. There is no way he is letting you off the hook with only minimal interest in the sport.
Enjoys hanging out with you in silence. He likes being in your company, because he doesn't feel the need to speak a lot. You know your brother isn't one for a lot of words.
Truthfully, he actually performs better at his games if you come to watch them. He is painfully aware of this fact, but he will never confess it.
Prepare to fight him. A lot. Hanamichi's platonic love language is definitely touch, but his idea of touching his loved ones affectionately is a little different from other people's ideas.
Uses you as an armrest. All the time.
Please, visit him at his games and cheer him on. It fills him with pride and makes him super happy.
Also, help this guy in his romantic endeavors. He is so utterly lost in his romantic daydreams.
Would and will give you tons of piggyback rides. However, he will complain about it. Just tell him he can drop you if he is too weak, and suddenly the complaints are no more.
Protective dumbass. Doesn't care too much if you are dating, as long as you are happy, but if you are not happy... He might just beat someone up.
Always cheats when you guys play any games, but in ways that are so incredibly obvious. He thinks he is a genius when he gets away with it and you just decide to drop it and let him win.
Will fight you for the TV remote. He is stronger, so he will absolutely use it to his advantage.
Asks you to go shopping with him, so you can help him look good for a certain someone.
Ruffles your hair a lot. Picks you up and throws you around. Rough-housing with his sibling is a must!
Though @raminkarimloo and I were the 25th anniversary LONDON production we never did phantom on Broadway together, but he did make a surprise appearance for the curtain call of the Broadway 25th anniversary production with John Owen Jones and Peter Joback alongside @realhughpanaro that night! #phantomoftheopera #phantom #broadway #25thanniversary
There is a big difference between the dynamics of friendships involving two girls, compared to a friendship with two boys. Girls are more likely to be communicative with how they appreciate each other. Boys don’t communicate this verbally, due to not wanting to come off as “cheesy” or “corny”. Instead, they show their affection/appreciation towards each other through physical touch. While not all guys are like this, a lot of boys are very touchy with each other, even coming off as gay at times.
Slam Dunk presents an accurate portrayal of male friendships. Their relationships with each other reflects on their age and maturity, and I believe it is part of why Shohoku and their dynamic as a team is so likable.
Something that I believe is notable is that the boys aren’t emotionally vulnerable with each other. Both Ryota Miyagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi are shown to have rough backgrounds, but neither of them are shown to tell their teammates about it. And they aren’t visibly depressed in front of the team.
I think the most emotionally vulnerable moments are from Mitsui and Akagi, who are both the oldest of the team.
Mitsui, who had hid his feelings of wanting to go back to basketball, finally broke down when Anzai walked back into the gym. Mitsui clearly did not intend to break down like this, I think he was just caught in the moment. The guys didn’t say anything about this, partially because they were still pissed at Mitsui for what happened, but also because they probably wouldn’t have known how to handle that at the moment.
The moment in the series to me that signified the most about how the boys aren’t vulnerable to each other was when Akagi cried, and said that the team was amazing. The guys didn’t comfort him, but instead were like “Why you crying?” and then went on to make fun of him. I think this is realistic compared to other series where the guys are all comforting each other, as they are teen boys and they don’t want to come off as soft.
Another vulnerable moment in the series was when Miyagi and Sakuragi both cried in front of each other because of their bad luck with girls. This wasn’t intentional either, and I think it was the result of the heat of the moment.
Instead of being affectionate through words, physical touch is used to show the boys’ friendliness with each other.
An example of this is during their games. When the team scores, they high five each other, fist bump, or pat each other. While this is typical behavior for teams, it is used to show Rukawa growing closer to the team, as he ends up engaging in this as well.
Additionally, when Shohoku lost against Kainan, Sakuragi cried. Akagi doesn’t say anything to comfort him in particular, but he pats Sakuragi and walks with him. I think this showed his care for Sakuragi, and he felt bad seeing him like that, it just wasn’t portrayed with words.
And when Akagi cried after winning against Ryonan, Sakuragi wraps his arm around Akagi and tells him to come line up with him. Again, nothing particularly comforting is said verbally, but it’s shown through actions.
Another big moment, arguably one of the biggest in the series, was Sakuragi and Rukawa going up to each other and high fiving after winning against Sannoh. Rukawa is shown before this to have high fived or fist bumped other members of the team, but not Sakuragi. Due to their “rivalry”, the two didn’t say anything and just looked at each other for a second before turning away. However, their high five signified how the two had grown close, as teammates and as friends.
Showing emotional vulnerability and closeness through physical touch is very effective and provides a sense of realism, and I believe that Slam Dunk would not have been as strong of a series if the physical touch between the team was not presented.
