beechichi replied to your post: what the world needs: vegetarian iwaizumi

this is hilarious to me bc i know so many Workout Bros here that refuse to touch anything soy bc they don’t wanna become ‘girly’. and i’m just like you’re all idiots. (i adore this hc and i can totally see bokuto being SUPER amazed and asking for their workout recipes)

WORKOUT BROS IWA AND BO IS VERY VITAL TO MY EXISTENCE. especially ones that share recipes. i also want suga to keep trying to give them both spicy recipes and i like the idea of bokuto who can’t handle spice AT ALL but he loves trying new things so. he suffers. iwaizumi, oikawa, and akaashi have a bet on how long it’ll last before bokuto gives up on trying suga’s suggestions...

1, 2, 18? :D

1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing

There’s chocolate smeared near her mouth and she won’t stop chewing on her pen, but the smile she breaks into is quick, embarrassed, but earnest. Her hair is dyed, straight save for the ends, and her eyes are largely hidden by thick-rimmed glasses. “You’re late!” she says after a quick glance at her phone. 

Nevermind how she checked the time; the only thing up on the screen is neko atsume. 

2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?

i gotta have music set up - doesn’t matter if i’m looping something or have a playlist up - and my tabs have to be in a particular order. music (unless it’s in another program), then writing doc, then ao3 “entire work” in case i gotta check, and then other tabs. my writing always has to be the furthest left outside of music. dunno why! 

18. How old were you when you started writing?

grade school - single digits! i don’t have a specific age in memory, though i know i made a four-page “book” in like first grade. it was all cat facts. it was stapled backwards. 

my first “novel” was a 23-page fantasy story about talking lions. it was supposed to be a 1-page short story.

TOO MUCH EFFORT TO TAKE THEM OFF CLEARLY

So i've been curious about this for a while, but how exactly do the owl tengus look like? Like i have an img in my head but i wasn't sure if their wings are their arms or what sort of legs they have. Like do they all have color variations or are they based off of certain species of owl? :D

this is a really crappy screenshot but this is what spawned the bbac tengu and also the desire to have a harpy bc I REALLY WANTED ONE. 

also, let me preface this with the fact that I LIVE FOR EVERY INTERPRETATION I’VE SEEN. i love however people view them! y’all do you, and i’ll eagerly eat that shit up. 

but canonly, this is about the closest fanart design-wise as i see them in my head. (i know that’s hinata/a crow tengu, but like... build-wise the tengu function fairly similarly.) i could launch into a paragraphs-long explanation of exactly how their physiology works and what i had to ignore for the purposes of the story and what i kind of accidentally tripped and fell into. but don’t think too hard about the exact logic behind things. 

what you need to know is that they got feathers all over from about the waist down, and bird legs, and a tail. their arms function as their wings, and have feathers, and their “hands” are fairly bird-feet-like in the fact that it’s kinda scaly and have claws too. (or you could think of it as dinosaur-esque, i suppose) they have sharp teeth, pointed ears, and canonly i won’t make feathers anywhere else (neck, face, ears, etc) official but i like either idea. that could just depend on the individual. (also, please take a moment to imagine what their feet look like, because proportionally their talons must be terrifying. no wonder suga almost shit himself when he first met akaashi.) 

also, every tengu is a specific species of bird! even the crow clan are different kinds of crows (i like the idea that hinata is actually a magpie). and since i was writing/planning bbac before a good chunk of the fukurodani kids got their owls figured out (at least for western fandom circles), they don’t run similar to their names. 

akaashi is a barn own, because i like the contrast between light feathers and dark hair, and also because his facial shape makes me think of that and i was excited to run with that. bokuto is a screech owl tengu, because i personally thought that was more his angle design-wise than a great horned owl, but i know i’m in the vast minority there. 

also, barn owls have serrated feet. so does akaashi. no one can take this from me. 

so tengu hair color doesn’t match their feather color (even if there were more original characters and not just canon ones), but their feathers/patterns/coloration are all from the same species of bird. so if you look at a barn owl - tawny back coloration, white (fuzzy!) legs, white underwing coloration - that is exactly how akaashi’s feathers would look. he looks like a roasted marshmallow. 

(i think komi is the only other tengu i’ve mentioned by name, and he’s never been mentioned as a specific owl, but he’s prob a burrowing owl because i keep imagining him with speckles) (ukai is clearly a super massive cranky raven)

"Who says no to sex and donuts?!" (i would tbh but still)

BEE

YOU FORGOT TO GIVE ME A SHIP

(also now I’m wondering if this prompt means... sex with donuts involved, or just like... let’s go grab some donuts and then have sex?  Or maybe have post-coital donuts?  ...either way I can’t eat donuts).
