omg y'all...

As if it wasn't ENOUGH that Joel Schumacher used Kiefer's voice to narrate Twelve, that had a scene with some narration where he was in a teenage boy's head, talking through that character's fantasies about a girl at the party... from the very opening MENU to Phone Booth, you hear Kiefer in a very menacing tone say, "You are going to learn to obey me." HOT damn. Like I get that he's a sniper, but... 🤣

In your fics, do you tend to write for Seb or Jim? or does it switch off? x

Thank you for the question, Anon!

I started out writing Seb for Kiss or Kill and the Symbiotic Criminal Psychopaths series, and @conduitstreetcat is the bestest Jim I could ever imagine. I fell head over heels in love with writing Tiger, and I thought I couldn’t be happier.

But then… I slowly grew fascinated at the thought of writing Jim... So I took my first steps in his fabulous shoes in the standalone fic Lethe, and Oh. Lord. Tumbling into Jim Moriarty’s psyche is a trip like no other. I thought it would be a one-time thing, but Jim wasn’t finished with me yet…

Once we started writing standalone fics, a pattern quickly formed: We always have 3 WIPs on the go. And each of us gets to write both, which is purrrfection.

I also write Jim for the Wild Things series with the lovely and talented @by--a--whisker.

I will say, Jim has seeped into my consciousness enough that I find myself inadvertently channeling Himself for brief moments IRL- in non-murdery ways, of course. The results are endlessly entertaining. 😎 But at this point, I can’t imagine writing only Jim or Seb… they’re in my blood. MorMor, c’est moi.🖤

haikyuu characters as musicians

an: hi guys. i have terrible orchestra!au brainrot. sorry in advance for the amount of screaming that's going to happen in this post. i'm including recordings of some of my favorite excerpts for each instrument. if you ever want to talk music with me, i'm always 175% down. if you'd like more of my personal headcanons, let me know as well!

characters include: sakusa kiyoomi, tendō satori, ushijima wakatoshi

warnings: none!

♛ sakusa kiyoomi; french horn

omi-omi plays french horn, no i don't take criticism. in all honesty, this was not what i was expecting to land on for sakusa. horn has a lot of water build-up when playing, so that seemed like a deterrent. however, pursuing horn as a career takes a certain type of personality. it's a difficult instrument to master, and without a levelheaded sense of self, it can really eat away at your self-esteem. younger players often jump ship early in their music careers because of the incredible amount of work it takes to become a confident player.

horn playing requires good aural skills. knowing where partials are, how things should sound, the distance between notes, all of these things are integral to becoming a competent player. sakusa doesn't like to leave things unfinished, and this would apply to any part of his music career. the ability to overcome musical shortcomings, such as extended range or difficult triple-tonguing exercises, would present a challenge; however, he would spend hours in the practice room to ensure he can perform these tasks with ease.

listening to him play is immensely satisfying. his tone is lush, warm, and intimidating all at once. there isn't a style that he can't match, whether it be intense wagner or light baroque. i imagine he plays on two separate horns: he has an everyday geyer, most likely a custom-built lewis. he also has a descant horn, probably an alexander model.

♛ tendō satori; flute

i know what you're thinking: kay, why? let me explain!

flute is such a versatile instrument - it has such a lovely, light sound and yet can also be mournful or intimidating. there is something just so intriguing about a flute line in an orchestra, and it's a captivating instrument.

tendō is nothing if not versatile. he's agile, a monster at guessing, and he's intimidating to play against on the court. his agility in volleyball could directly translate to his capabilities as a musician. he doesn't mind spending his time in a practice room - if it means no one will ever be able to say he's out of tune or tempo, he'll be there all day. he develops an affinity for extended technique, microtones and multiphonics making him a sought-after musician for anyone writing new age or atonal music. as a professional, he loves taking commissions from up-and-coming composers. i think he'd prefer this route of freelancing as opposed to trying to get a full-time orchestral gig.

when it comes to what he plays on, tendō amasses a monstrous collection of instruments. he particular loves his alto flute, even though it isn't composed for as frequently as the standard concert flute. he has his instruments voiced to his specifications, not minding the extra expense one bit.

♛ ushijima wakatoshi; bassoon

don't come for me. another one i feel like i'll have to justify forever and ever, amen.

ushijima is a powerhouse of a volleyball player. consistent, intense, unbearably confident. the makings of an outrageous bassoonist, to be honest. like horn, it's another instrument that has beginners fleeing for the hills. however, ushijima cultivated his musical skills quite easily, never straying away from learning theory or working on his aural skills. from a young age, he was listening to recordings from major symphonies: berlin, chicago, san francisco, london, saito kinen.

diligent in all things, he learned reed-making at an early age, not struggling with the meticulous task. ushijima simply did what was necessary to become the best. he never got nervous in masterclasses - someone listening to him was never enough to make him question his capabilities.

i can almost guarantee that ushiwaka got a really, really prestigious orchestra job. i can see it. i know he plays in vienna during his prime, i just know it.

now i don't know enough about bassoon to know what type he'd play on. however my wallet cries for any bassoon player because i know how expensive my own instrument is, and most bassoons are at least double that price. woof.
