The one below (left) only really happens in the anime (in the manga Masa walks away :c) and I snuck one of my own comics in there 🙃 But only because it's correct.
Inazuma Eleven's mostly free scouting makes it rare to find named characters just hanging out in the field, but returning to Owari in Chapter 5 reveals some exceptions. Katsu, being immediately recruitable, is conveniently out on delivery (according to her mother), but the rest of the younger cast have taken over the old jizo temple. Tasuke's tying up loose ends, his friends are practising hard, and Gorota's lost in the bushes on another football hunt.
Their two-chapter grace period comes courtesy of the PalPack items required for their recruitment, all of which are located in Bakumatsu-era Kyoto. When Chapter 7 begins, they all take off for good.
SIGN ME UP FOR THE ICHISAYA SHIP NAME CLUB! CAUSE THATS SO CUTE! Ichigo deserves to go first in the ship.
Yay! Welcome to the club, happy to have you! Yeah, it sounds good and the other big reason is that it’s free on a bunch of platforms. The other ship name options (masago, ichimasa, masaichi, etc) have other things that are being tagged as well either on tumblr or other platforms (for example, ichimasa is a food manufacturing company and they’re taking up the tag on Instagram, plus there’s a bunch of other stuff with that tag).
After re-entering this fandom upon reading re-turn and hearing about the reboot, I was disappointed to learn that ichisaya doesn’t get a lot of love. I tried looking up fanworks and had a hard time finding anything because a) it’s not a popular ship (*SOB*), but also b) there’s not really a universal tag for it so if anyone has posted stuff over the years idk where to find it. What little fan content there is can easily get lost to time. Masago was the closest thing to a universal tag but I’ve already stated my problems with it.
With the reboot, if the ship does get more appreciation this time around, it’d be nice to agree on a tag and have any new fan content be easily searchable across multiple platforms. That’s my dream at least.
When I was in art school I used to make lots of these "doodle" (aka scratchy/messy without a plan) animations in my spare time and I somehow just sat down and started one last week!
It was super fun, just started drawing Masa with his hair untied and trying to figure out what he was looking at! I happened to have a very-post-canon-hc about Matsu and Yaichi bonding while Masa is away on a trip, and Masa being thrilled to find out when he comes back :3
[Video description: a scratchy animation of Matsu, Masa and Yaichi from House of Five Leaves. They are all shown from the chest up in three quarter's view, apparently sitting down.
Matsu is shown first, facing right. He is writing or drawing, but then stops to look to the left. After a moment he smiles, then returns to his work, still smiling.
Masa is shown second. His body is turned to the left, but he looks to the right, at Matsu, with a bit of a confused expression. He turns his head to the left, but holds Matsu with his gaze for a bit, before fully looking to the left.
Next, Yaichi is shown. He has a cup of hot tea in his hand but seems distracted by something in front of him. He seems to stare at Matsu, smiling, then glances to his left and meets Masa's gaze. Yaichi's eyes go a little unfocused and he smiles dreamily before he takes a sip of his tea.
Masa is shown again, still looking confused, but something seems to dawn on him. He blinks and smiles excitedly. /End video description]
Came across a Kissing meme thing and just turned it into a Matsu Kisses Everyone meme hehe. Plus two Everyone Kisses Each Other drawings :3
HCs and og prompts for the meme below the cut
Cheek and nose. BFF Matsu and Otake of course! I've had the B99 "aren't you forgetting something?" bit in my head with them in my head for years. Both would be the one to walk away without paying their bill - although Matsu would more often walk off in a rush.
Back for more and throat. I've said it before when posting wips for this, and I'll say it again: post-canon non-romantic UmeMatsu ftw! I'm actually trying to write a fic about how that happened in my head, but who knows if that'll ever see the light of day lol
Belly and from behind. Post-canon Masa deserves to relax so much that he grows a nice soft and round belly. Matsu will be very fond of it <3
Corner of the mouth and lower arm. IchiMatsu will take years and years to become a thing, and before they do I imagine they'll have a lot of tentative conversations about their individual pasts and what happened between them after Masa joined the Five Leaves. Like an exchange about the wound Matsu had the night they met.
Knuckles and forehead. No HCs about these two pairs regarding these particular drawings really
There were three prompts that I didn't really feel like doing, so I left two out and changed one to something else. :3
