Pt2 to this post
'Is something wrong?' Nancy asks, not long after the two of them have taken their familiar spots on the hood of Steve's car. They're basking in what might be the last warm sunlight of the year, looking out over the quarry, at a safe distance from the edge.
It's become a tradition the two of them share, ever since they reconnected back in March. It calms them both, to just sit here and take in the view, no one around but each other. Nancy is one of the few people Steve can share a comfortable silence with: sometimes they sit here quietly for what feels like hours, side by side, listening to music or to nothing but the birds singing around them. But they also have their best conversations here: it's the place where Nancy entrusted him she wanted to break up with Jonathan; it's the place where they talked about their shared past and decided they would always love each other as friends; it's the place where they finally talked about Barbara in a way they couldn't when they were younger. It's where Nancy talked about the ghosts still haunting her and Steve talked about how lonely he sometimes felt.
Steve huffs. 'How did you guess?'
'When you frown, you always do it with your whole face,' Nancy notes. 'So it's hard to miss, really.'
Steve glances at her side profile. There's a serenity to her features that's still relatively new. It means she's healing, slowly learning how to be happy again. It means she stopped waiting for the end of the world and started believing in a real future again. It makes Steve proud of how far they both have come.
'I had a fight with Eddie,' he confesses. 'And with Dustin, I guess.'
'What happened?'
He sighs. 'It's complicated.'
'Wanna tell me about it?'
The look in her eyes is kind and inviting. Steve hesitates. He wants to, but he doesn't know if he can. It's a risk. It's scary.
But he can't imagine Nancy Wheeler ever being careless with his secrets. He can't imagine her judging him, can't imagine her being as small-minded as most people in this town.
He was planning on telling her anyway, because things had been going so well with Eddie lately and – no, he shouldn't think about that right now. But maybe it would actually be nice to talk about it with Nancy.
'So, um...' His throat feels tight and his hands are sweaty. 'I recently discovered some things about myself. I-' The words get stuck somewhere on the way to his mouth, and he clears his throat.
Nancy doesn't push, but only gives him an encouraging nod, waiting for him to find his voice again.
'I found out I like boys,' he finally manages to confess. 'And I need you to know that – that that doesn't mean that what I felt for you wasn't real. It was. I loved you, and now I fell in love with a boy. And-'
'Steve.' Nancy's hand suddenly covers his, causing him to finally jerk his head away from the view over the quarry, to focus on her face again instead.
Her eyes are wide, and she squeezes his hand.
'You don't have to explain yourself to me,' she tells him. 'We're good. But thank you for telling me. For trusting me with this.'
Steve heaves out a relieved sigh, and Nancy smiles; it's that genuine kind of smile which reveals all kinds of dimples and soft lines across her face.
'We might be more similar than you thought,' she tells him, a faint blush spreading over her cheeks.
'Really?' Her words make his breath catch in his throat. He squints at her, trying to see her in this new light. 'Are you saying what I think you're saying?'
She shrugs. 'I don't know. I'm not sure yet,' she admits. 'Still figuring things out.'
'Take your time, there's no rush,' he tells her. 'But...' He bumps his shoulder against hers. 'When you're done figuring it out, talk to me, okay?'
She nods. 'Okay.'
For a while, it's quiet between the two of them. Some kind of raptor circles high above them in the sky. They both follow it with their eyes until it disappears among the tree tops west of the quarry.
'Is it Eddie?'
Steve blinks dumbly a couple of times.
'Wha- what?'
'The guy you were talking about. The one you fell in love with. It's Eddie, isn't it?'
'Jesus, Wheeler, what kind of sorceress are you?' Steve exclaims.
Nancy laughs again. 'You're not being as subtle as you think,' she tells him. 'The two of you have been hooking up for a while now, haven't you?'
Steve huffs dramatically. 'This is unfair. You know everything; I can't even tell you my own secrets anymore!'
'So what happened?' Nancy asks. 'You said you had a fight with him?'
'It's fucking stupid,' he sighs. 'Dustin was getting way too excited about the fact that I was gonna be hanging out with you, so I told him I was seeing someone. Next thing I knew, he was telling Eddie all about how I was seeing a girl.' He waves his hands around to make annoyed air quotations. 'I wanted to tell Eddie it was a misunderstanding, but Dustin was there, so I couldn't out us just like that, and he looked so betrayed and heartbroken... He didn't wanna listen to me.'
Steve sighs; he still can't manage to forget that look in Eddie's eyes when Dustin delivered the big news. 'I wish I would've talked about what I felt for him earlier. I should've been honest when I had the chance, y'know. But I was afraid he wouldn't wanna label what we had, that he wouldn't feel the same way – and now we're in this whole mess. God, he must hate me right now, Nance.'
To his surprise, Nancy gives him an unexpected slap against his arm.
'Ouch, what the hell was that for?!'
'What are you even doing here with me, Steve? You should've gone after him, tell him how you feel!'
'I tried, obviously, but he didn't wanna listen to me!'
'So make him listen! You're in love with him, he obviously feels the same way about you, and you let him leave to wallow in a broken heart he doesn't even need to have!' She rolls her eyes and slides off the car, adding something under her breath that sounds suspiciously like an exasperated 'Boys!' before she pulls Steve off the car as well. 'C'mon, time to get your ass over to the trailer park. Right. Now,' she says through gritted teeth. And, well, Steve knows better than to argue with a determined - and truthfully quite terrifying - Nancy Wheeler.

carve your name into my chest: chapter 8
(read it on ao3!)
Tumblr media
with all love to @stevecarrington & @maxineholtzmann & blue!!
[complete | explicit | tw for slurs and internalized homophobia]
chapter eight: on your team
Bruins to play Canadiens tonight in Boston. Munson is three goals away from being one of the youngest players (and first openly gay NHL player) to hit 300 career goals—will tonight be a hat trick and a new record for the Bruins star scorer?
The only consolation to the All-Stars weekend was that Carver had earned himself a season long suspension and a ticket right to diversity training, and the Metro division had lost against the Pacific in the championships.
It was better than the alternative. Then again, he wouldn’t have been happy with any outcome that wasn’t them winning, so he supposed it was lose lose either way. Literally.
After All-Stars, Eddie put his head down and tried to get back to hockey. 
He’d puked in the bathroom the morning of his first practice back with his own team. Archie had tried to reassure him that no one actually gave a shit about him being gay, but he hadn’t believed it until he’d walked into the room, braced for impact, and found nothing.
Jeff had clapped him on the back and winked at him, and Gareth sidled over with a soft smile. “Proud of you, man,” he said, before tugging Eddie into a bone crunching hug.
“For what?” Eddie laughed, as he hugged back. “I took the coward’s way out, bro.”
Gareth laughed and smacked him on the back. “For finally getting laid, dude. You know we’ve all been trying to help you with that for years.”
Eddie tossed his head back and honest-to-god cackled at the sentiment, and then he leaned in and winked. “Don’t you worry, Garebear. I’ve been just fine on that front.”
Then his heart sunk, just a bit, because he wasn’t going to be anymore. But he wasn’t about to tell the team that.

Chapter 10 of "Kaede's Rhapsody" is ???% complete. The problem is that I know how I want it to open (it's written and it's smashing), and I know how I want it to end, but the middle's been spiraling in so many directions and none of them seem right. Each chapter's been tougher to write than the last, but at least this is a new problem and I'm not just making the same mistakes.
I'll figure out how to connect Points A and B, declare it satisfactory, and publish it real soon. Thanks for your patience!

A3! OC: ISA SAKISAKA
i've seen some people posting about their A3 OCs/sonas recently and i thought that was pretty neat, so i repurposed one of my OCs to fit the world of A3. meet isa sakisaka!
Tumblr media
[i didn't draw isa's portait bc i'm not an artist. i made it using this picrew]
i followed yaycupcake's character page format for this which was a great idea bc otherwise i wouldn't have had any idea how to organise my info. so under the cut is her official intro, character description, trivia, and important relationships (one guess as to who i ship her with)
OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION
"Today, I'm grateful for..."
A young woman with a healing smile and a gentle presence, just being around Isa makes your soul feel refreshed. It’s through Sakuya that she becomes the MANKAI Company’s physical trainer and dance choreographer, due to her experience as her high school’s dance captain and choreographing her own dance routines for her videos.
How she joined Mankai backstory:
She and Sakuya have been classmates and good friends since their second year at high school. She even went to watch Romeo & Julius and promoted the play on her social media (where she has a decently big following). It’s also through Sakuya that she becomes acquainted with the MANKAI company. One day during class, she notices he seems worried about something so she checks on him. According to Sakuya, the Director has been busy getting the Summer Troupe in shape for their debut show, so as the Spring Troupe’s leader he’s been organising and facilitating his troupe’s independent practice. That said, there’s only so much he can do on his own. He knows they need to build their stamina and strength to keep acting, but none of them know much about working out (like Tsuzuru can do heavy manual labour and does play soccer sometimes but I highly doubt he has a full workout routine). Since she has experience coming up with training menus from leading Hanasaki's dance team, she volunteers to help out with the physical training, so after school he brings her to the dorm and the rest is history.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Whether it’s because of her sweet and kind disposition, her dance skills, or the braided buns she often dons, Isa is the kind of girl who sticks in your mind like an earworm of your favourite song. Her peers at school often refer to her as an angel, and many flock to her when they’re in need of healing. Even her messing up her Japanese by making a pun that only works in English or referencing an Italian saying is incredibly healing, as these little mistakes remind you she’s human too despite the ‘angel’ nickname. While she’s polite and cordial with everyone, she keeps her circle of closest friends small. One of her most precious possessions is her Gratitude Journal, in which every night she’ll dutifully pen down at least three things she was grateful for that day.
ISA’S BACKSTORY
Like I said above, I didn’t create Isa specifically for A3! She’s always existed as an OC of mine for a couple years now, and I liked to insert her into whatever media I was into and see how she fit in there. As such, her backstory is wild, to say the least (there’s superpowers and human experimentation involved, all very dark stuff)*. It needs its own post so I won’t go into it here; but basically she went through some Horrors in her childhood to young adolescence, like before moving to Japan, so the whole optimism and Gratitude Journal things are how she’s trying to cope and heal from the Horrors. Hence, the defining thing about her character is that she’s actively choosing to be soft and kind and gentle despite the pain she went through, bc she doesn’t want to add on to the suffering that already exists in the world.
*at first i was thinking of changing isa's backstory to fit a3 better, until i remembered a3 also has spies and runaway princes and assassination attempts and a mind-reading loupe and a doll that traps divorcees in timeloops and a door that just doesn't fucking open, so all things considered her backstory isn't that farfetched
UPDATE: you can read about her lore and backstory in the docs linked below!
RELATIONSHIPS
Muku
The moment Isa enters the dorm with Sakuya, Kazunari’s like “Oh Mukkun is that your big sis?” bc of how strong the resemblance between them is. To everyone's shock, they are actually cousins rather than siblings. Even after they learn this, they still sometimes mistake them for siblings bc of how similar they are not just in looks but in personality too. Itaru sometimes jokes that being in the same room as Muku, Sakuya, and Isa would burn mortals to ash bc of how powerful their combined angelic powers are.
Whenever Isa visited Japan during the holidays (before she permanently moved there), you can be sure to find Isa and Muku huddled up in a corner reading and gushing over shoujo manga. They also frequently texted about shoujo manga whenever they were apart. Now that Isa is permanently staying in Japan, she and Muku have gotten even closer. Isa thinks Muku is already the perfect prince he wants to be, while Muku thinks she’s like a princess from a fairytale come to life.
Juza
When they were younger, Isa was intimidated by Juza because of his size and face, and his silent demeanour didn’t help either. However, she changed her mind about him when some boys were picking on her at a playground, and Juza scared them off. She realised she had read Juza wrong and that he’s nicer than his looks suggested. Ever since then, she’s adored Juza, and it makes her sad to think there are so many people missing out on how wonderful Juza is all because they can’t get past his appearance.
Similar to what he told Muku, Juza also tells Isa to keep the fact that they’re cousins secret. Unlike Muku, Isa figures Juza’s trying to be considerate of her so she’s not too bothered by it (what bothers her more is that he felt the need to protect her by hiding the fact that they’re related 😔) For the most part, she does a pretty good job upholding her promise. However, after the closing night of Picaresque, Isa is so moved by Juza’s performance that she forgets about her promise and flings herself at him all like “WAAH JU-CHAN YOU WERE SO COOL 😭😭”. Everyone’s reaction to learning that Juza and Isa are cousins is also “Wait, you guys are COUSINS?!” but for the opposite reason as Muku-Isa bc y’know they’re as different as night and day—Juza is all big and intimidating and tough-looking while Isa is cute and small and approachable.
She’s a touchy person in general, and Juza doesn’t mind—or is at least used to it—bc yk Kumon. She likes to link arms with him when they’re walking around and pat his head (and then complain about all the gel he put in his hair making it CRACKLE when she touches it), yk innocent wholesome family stuff <3
Even before learning of her horrific past, Juza is fiercely protective of her like an older brother to a younger sister (cue her reminding him that she’s actually a few months older than him).
Kumon
Physical affection to the max! Both of their primary love languages are touch and words of affirmation (to me those are Kumon’s love languages), so they’re very openly affectionate with each other <3 In Act 5, Isa strolls into the Mankai lounge only to have a 174cm tall puppy throw himself at her and hug her so tight you could hear her joints popping, and she returns it with just as much gusto. 
Every time they see each other, they’re contractually obligated to repeat this inside joke:
Isa: “Kyu-chan, you’ve gotten taller again! Maybe one day you’ll even be as tall as—no, even taller than—Ju-chan!” Kumon: “Hehe, maybe one day you’ll also be as tall as Nii-chan!”
And they both have a good laugh over it bc they both know she stopped growing at age 14.
Kumon thinks her dancing is the second coolest thing in the world (first is Juza), and Isa admires how good Kumon is at baseball. Sometimes she plays catchball with him, and they also like going jogging together.
Banri
If you guessed Banri for the "who do I ship Isa with" you are absolutely correct he very almost lost to Tsuzuru but that's another thing. Okay real talk though, there's so MUCH backstory and build-up to their relationship that Banri's entire section will be focused on that. Post-getting together headcanons will go into another post which I'll link here once it's up (there's a tl;dr at the end of Banri's section summarising their relationship bc this is LONG)
Their relationship is essentially enemies-ish → friends → lovers. Isa becomes involved with the company during Summer’s debut arc, right? So she was around when the newborn Autumn Troupe formed. And starting out, she did not like Banri at all, not just bc he’s a dick to her cousin but also bc she just didn’t like how lazy and cocky he was. In her head she’s like “Yeah sure Tenma-kun was rude to the Summer Troupe at the beginning but at least he cared about the play. This guy doesn’t even give a shit!” They have quite an antagonistic relationship at first. Isa’s not normally one for confrontations, but she got so mad at how he was treating Juza that she called him out to his face which pissed Banri off. He’d try provoking her, yk starting shit, but she refused to play into his games and ignored him, which ticked him off even more.
However, after Banri’s character development, they start getting along better. They find out they actually have some interests in common: they both like games (Isa isn’t as hardcore a gamer as Banri and Itaru, but she loves the Kniround series and is a Lancelot stan), they both enjoy clothes shopping, and Banri also starts inviting her to karaoke with him and Tenma after school. She appreciates his company while clothes shopping bc he has a good eye for clothes and so he helps her pick between the two or three options she’s struggling between. He still teases her but it’s done with a lot more affection now. Usually he teases her about her height (“Look at you, I could rest my arm on your head.” “Yeah, well, at least the overhead handles on the train don’t whack me in the face whenever the train sways.”) and he calls her Little Miss Sunshine bc of how she’s always trying to look on the bright side and appreciate the little things in life.
As their friendship blossoms, Banri starts casually lowkey flirting with her bc hey she’s cute and nice and fun to hang out with + he’s intrigued by how she’s one of the few girls who didn’t immediately throw herself at him. Yes I know how the cliche goes: the bad boy who’s used to having girls fawn over him takes interest in the one girl not interested in him and doesn’t respond to his flirtations. HOWEVER, the twist is that she doesn’t respond not bc she’s turned off by his flirting, but bc it completely goes over her head that he’s flirting and she thinks he’s just being really nice and friendly 💀 It's so bad it's listed as a weakness in her character profile. Once while eating lunch in the classroom, a boy from another class was like “Hey do you wanna go out with me?” She frowned at him in confusion, gestured to her bento, and replied, “But I’m eating right now. And we can’t leave campus during school hours without permission.” And the guy just walked away dejected bc he thought she was just playing dumb to let him down nicely 😔
Despite Banri’s flirtations going over her head, Isa finds herself falling for him the more time they spend together. She appreciates how much Banri has grown in such a short time, going from a rude lazy brat of a boy to a more driven and considerate man. Now that he’s a much more pleasant person to be with, she finds she not only enjoys his company but she also feels safe with him bc of how reliable he’s become—he’s got the skills to handle problems as they come (like her struggles with Chemistry), and now he’s got the kindness to extend that help. But more than that, she admires his easygoing confidence—like when he’s helping her with Chemistry and she’s being uncharacteristically gloomy like “I’m hopeless at Chemistry I’m gonna fail”, he breaks her out of her negative thoughts and firmly tells her, “No, you aren’t. You’re a smart girl, and you’ve got me helpin’ you. I’ll stay with ya and help you for as long as you need, but you also gotta quit whinin’ and get your head in the game, got it?” And sure, his words are curt but she actually feels reassured by them, by his confidence not just in his ability to tutor her but also in her ability to learn. And just generally speaking, she’s can see right through his tsuntsun tendencies and knows he’s sweeter and more caring than he wants the world to see, and she finds that gap really cute. Also he’s just lots of fun to be around, always has new adventures to take her on, always has a witty remark for her to fire back at him with all in good humour.
As for Banri, he enjoys her company, and though he teases her about her naive-seeming optimism, he actually finds it really refreshing bc it’s so different from his jaded outlook on the world. Once while they’re out shopping, they get stuck in the train bc of a track fault. Banri is pretty annoyed about it, grumbling under his breath all like “Great, the old man’s gonna be naggin’ my ear off for gettin’ home late”. But Isa tugs on his sleeve and points at the window and goes, “Look, Banri-kun! The sunset’s so pretty, isn’t it?” He’s like “We have sunsets every day what’s the big deal?” And she says, “Yeah, but how often do you stop to just appreciate the sunset without thinking or doing something else?” And that lowkey rewires his whole brain bc. Huh. Yeah. She’s right, the sunset happens every day, but how often does he stop to just appreciate its beauty? This whole thing is like a scene from an anime, with the sunset making her glow and he’s just looking at her and the realisation that “Oh shit, I think I really do like her” starts creeping up on him.
When he’s finally alone at the dorm, he freaks out over his newfound feelings bc ew vulnerability ew feelings, disgusting get that shit out. In very typical Banri fashion, he decides to suppress his feelings and pretend everything’s normal, and he thinks he’s doing a pretty good job hiding his crush (he’s not; everyone figures it out within a week tops, and half of them already knew before he himself realised it). He really is more obvious than he realises—like he’d just randomly bring her up when she wasn’t even mentioned, remember the littlest thing she said that even Muku and Juza didn’t know about her; he becomes even more aggressive to Juza when she gets touchy with him; he’s a lot nicer to her than he is to anyone else, yk holding the door for her, openly complimenting her and stuff; he smiles a lot more when she’s around, like a genuinely happy sweet innocent smile, not the cocky smirk he does. It takes a while and the combined efforts of no less than Taichi, Azuma, Tsumugi, Itaru, Sakuya, Izumi, and Sakyo to help him come to terms with his feelings for her.
The confession arc is quite the arc. You remember Banri was canonically chased by girls during his high school graduation bc they wanted his second button, right? (It’s apparently a thing in Japan where guys would give the girl they like the second button of his school uniform as a love confession, and it’s the second button specifically bc it’s closest to the heart &lt;3). While running away from his admirers, he finds Isa, rips the button off, and shoves it at her, telling her to keep it safe for him (HEART EXPLODE) before taking off again. He tries to play it off as something that just happened in the spur of the moment but he’d actually planned it; he knew the other girls were gonna hound him for his button, so he wanted to find her and give it to her a subtle way to tell her how he felt before the other girls caught up to him.
Except. Well. A couple days after grad, Isa shows up at the dorm all like “Hi Banri-kun! I forgot you gave me your uniform button, so I’m here to return it! ^^” And like. His whole world just shatters right there bc the entire time he thought she liked him too; she was so obvious about it, but apparently that’s not the case. It’s all very messy—Banri spends days moping around absolutely destroyed and refusing to talk to her, Isa’s confused bc she doesn’t know what she did but she knows she hurt him, and everyone else is like “oh my god you idiots just TALK”. After a week of Banri being miserable in the dorm, Sakyo has enough and snaps at Banri to just fucking tell her with his actual words how he feels, otherwise he’d regret it more if he never told her. When Banri’s still being bratty about it, Sakyo enlists the help of Juza, Omi, and Tasuku to literally kidnap Banri and shove him in Tasuku’s car. Ignoring Banri's protests, Tasuku drives him to Isa’s apartment and gives him the same pep talk like, “Settsu, my guy, literally just talk to her. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. Like Sakyo-san said, you’ll regret it more if you don’t clear things up with her, trust me. And if she still rejects you—uh, well, we can go for a jog together. Some exercise could help take your mind off things.” (Tasuku is so fucking out of his depth but he’s doing his best god bless)
With great reluctance, Banri goes up to Isa’s apartment, they fumble around awkwardly with their words, and then finally FINALLY talk. And it turns out, Isa actually had no idea what the whole second button thing meant. Or more accurately, she knew it was a thing from shoujo manga but she didn’t think it was something that actually happened irl (keep in mind she only started permanently living in Japan like 2 years ago at this point so there's still some cultural stuff she isn't familiar with). And Banri feels like the world’s biggest dummy for jumping to the worst possible conclusion instead of asking her about it. Then they talk about their feelings and agree to become a couple and yay they’re together now! Took them nearly a year but they got there <3
And you guys 🥺 They’re so good for each other <3 Isa brings out Banri’s softer squishier side, helps him become more emotionally self-aware, and provides a safe place for him to be vulnerable, bc she loves him for who he is and not just what he does or the accomplishments to his name. Banri supports her in healing from the Horrors of her past, proves to her she’s still lovable even with the scars it left on her, and helps her reframe her negative thoughts (i.e. when she’s excessively self-blaming for things out of her control). I need a separate post for post-relationship HCs, I just needed to cry over them for a bit <3
TL;DR: Banrisa's relationship is enemies-ish (bc Isa didn't like how he treated Juza and his initial cocky attitude) -> friends bc of shared interests and mutual appreciation of each other's strengths -> extremely silly misunderstanding with angst -> lovers
POST-RELATIONSHIP HCS!!!
Sakuya
Sakuya and Isa have been high school classmates since their 2nd year, and they get along pretty well. Even before MANKAI, they’d have lunch together sometimes. Once she tried teaching him one of her simpler dance routines but poor guy ended up with a twisted ankle, which she felt awful about despite his reassurances that it was his fault for being clumsy. They become even closer after Isa becomes involved with Mankai, to the point their classmates wonder if they’re dating (spoiler alert: she ends up dating their resident delinquent a few classes down the hallway). They have lots of mutual respect and admiration for each other! Sakuya thinks she’s super cool bc she can speak multiple languages, dance really well, and is an all-round pleasant person to be around. Isa admires Sakuya’s passion for theatre and genuinely believes that one day, with the proper guidance, he’ll blossom into a wonderful actor even when some of their classmates were doubting him.
Itaru 
Itaru is fully prepared to hate the girl who joins the company as their physical trainer—but then he spots a Lancelot charm on her phone case, so they end up bonding over Kniround, and even play the game together in their spare time. This is key in their relationship bc when Itaru first sees her he gets bad flashbacks to his school days where the pretty athletic people are the top dogs while the geeks like him were treated like dirt—so learning that she likes games too and that she doesn’t think any less of him for being a gamer helps him relax his guard around her. 
Isa doesn’t let him slack off during practice, though. The first (and last) time he tries sneaking off during practice saying he needed to use the washroom, she fixes him with a Look and goes, “You’ll come back, right? You’re not gonna hole yourself up in the toilet and spend the rest of practice gaming on your phone, right?” She’s not even mad or disapproving, just genuinely concerned bc she doesn’t want him to fall behind in terms of fitness and get hurt while performing. And that makes him feel so guilty he never slacks off or skips again.
Naturally, Isa fangirls HARD during KNIROUND IV the Stage. She becomes starstruck when she goes backstage after the opening night show, and even gets all flustered and blushy when talking to Itaru bc he stays in-character the entire time. Itaru knows she had a phase where she self-shipped with Lancelot, so he flirts with her as Lancelot which just about makes her head explode from embarrassment. Meanwhile Banri’s just there in the back like “🧍🏻‍♂️Wow okay ditch your 3D boyfriend for your 2D ex why don’t you”
In my vision, they have a big brother little sister type of relationship. Sometimes he has to act as the mediator whenever she and Banri have a rough patch though RIP
TRIVIA
Isa was born and raised in Italy, and transferred to Japan a month before her first year at Hanasaki Academy was to start.
The meaning of the kanji in her given name: 良 means ‘good, excellent, fine’ (based on my rusty understanding of Mandarin it's probably related specifically to moral goodness, kindness, and such) while 心 refers to ‘heart, mind, spirit’ (source)
‘Sakisaka’ is her mother’s maiden name. She had her surname changed from her father’s surname before moving to Japan
She grew up speaking Italian, Japanese, and English at home bc it was basically language volleyball in her household. She also enjoys learning new languages from watching shows, reading books with a digital translator, and Duolingo. As of Year 3, she is perfectly fluent in Japanese, Italian, French, and English, and can hold a conversation in Korean, Thai, Mandarin, German, and Zahran.
She posts her dance videos on Instablam, Tiktak, and whatever A3’s equivalent of Youtube is called. On average across all platforms, she has a respectable following of 30k.
She makes a mean carbonara
Her best subjects are English and History, and she helps out the other students in those subjects. Her worst subject is Chemistry (Banri and Itaru took turns tutoring her so she could pass her Chemistry finals)
Taichi had a brief crush on her when they first met, but gave up when he realised Banri was also into her and felt like he stood no chance against Banri. Of course, Isa is blissfully unaware of this.
From Year 2 onwards, she attends Amabi University with Banri and Kazunari, and is majoring in contemporary dance. She hopes to become a professional dance choreographer
Most of the time, she lives alone in her apartment because her mother is busy working overseas and only returns to Japan on rare occasion, while her older brother is living elsewhere in Tokyo to pursue his professional swimming career (her father is Bad we don’t talk about him)
She has very high pain tolerance
Just like Muku and Juza, she too loves sweets. Her favourite dessert is tiramisu.
The number of relatives on her Italian side is unknown but increases every time the topic is brought up. While her extended family is large, the truth is that she has multiple nicknames for most of her relatives and when talking about them she uses all the nicknames interchangeably without providing context, which leaves the others thinking she has way more relatives than she actually has 
Her favourite troupe is Spring because she loves the fantasy type plays they do
She actually knew that Guy wasn’t an android right from the start (the reason for that is related to her backstory). However, she didn’t say anything about it bc she thought he was having a chuuni phase and didn’t want to ruin his bit. This is revealed during a conversation she has with Banri while they're chilling in his room:
Banri: “Hey, so, Isa-chan. About Guy-san. Turns out he ain’t actually an android. Wild, huh?” Isa: “Oh cool, he finally told you guys?” Banri: “Yeah, dunno the details but apparently Hisoka-san found a microchip and Chikage-san did some shit with—wait, what d'you mean ‘he finally told you guys’?” Isa: “Wait, you guys didn’t already know?” And they just look at each other in confusion
How everyone addresses Isa and how Isa addresses them:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Notes:
Tsuzuru: When she was first introduced to Mankai, Isa took cues from Sakuya as to how to address the others. Since Sakuya called Tsuzuru "Tsuzuru-kun", Isa imitated him and figured Tsuzuru was their age and from another high school. She was mortified to find out he's actually in university and apologised for her rudeness, but he reassured her that it's fine, he's not a huge stickler about what honorifics people use to address him
Muku: Similar to how Muku addresses Juza and Kumon with the 'chan' honorific, he does the same with Isa. I did consider "Sa-chan" at first but I went with "Isa-chan" in the end bc I like the way that sounds better
Kumon: He sees her as a big sister figure, hence the 'neechan'
Banri: As stated in Banri's section of her relationships, Banri calls her Little Miss Sunshine bc of her persistent optimism. "Princess" and "Babe" come after they get together <3 Also after they become a couple, Isa sometimes calls him Banban when she's teasing him. He pretends to hate it but he doesn't actually bc he likes the way she says it (not that he'd ever admit it,, unless 👀)
Azuma: I figured Azuma would give Isa an affectionate nickname like how he calls Taichi "Puppy-kun", so "Little Dancer" it is
Guy: The "Little Lady" is similar to how he calls Muku "Little Prince" since, just like the others, he mistook them for siblings

Pls this took longer my phone is burning from copy pastin im dead😔
-le anon☆
Le anon carry!!! You might be the true Electro Archon ngl 👀
I love the meme references in the cons!! And the elemental burst sounds so badass!! Esp; "Le anon's weapon attacks will drastically switch to Sword and Claymore simultaneously" and the "Electro DMG that cannot be overridden" / seems like C6 benny isn't a problem for le anon!!! XDDD
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I loved reading this so much TuT (you're all so creative!! <3)

woah woah woah yuri you're still alive????
haha what happened you may ask??? well, life just gave me hell and decided that today. TODAY, was gonna top it off with the biggest disaster so far!!!!!
i literally just wanted to have ONE day off after my bday, but the next morning my computer wouldn't work! which was fantastic because literally every single one of my wips/ finished not posted works/ digital art was on there so i stressed. the FUCK. out
it's fixed now ofc and THANKFULLY nothing was lost except the artworks that weren't autosaved that day! (which- yknow, sucks, but there was worse at stake before :'D) after me bEGGING my dad to help me with the problem
except it's NOT OVER yet!!!!
sai's settings and brushes reseted for some reason and my absolute fav custom brushes were gone! so with me trying to recreate them then loosing them all over because they just wouldn't be SAVED OMG and me going for a trip to my uncle's small town and watching the leftover day offs i had dwindle so goshdarn fast i was feeling so sO drained-
and wanna know the funniest thing??? when i come back home ready to post art and FINALLY rant about this what happens?? no wifi :DDDD
prioritizing the water and electricity bills first, i got to work and drew everyday to make it up for you guys and look at that! i have good and horrible news!
so SURPRISE! since you guys have been SO patient with me (thank you all :'D), i will say that i have a LOT of finished works to post! all ranging from 1 animated gif, 9 artworks, 1 illustration that's part of a little prompt idea i came up with (1 done and 4 left)
technically, i have 2 pieces finished and 3 wips for the remaining days of fnk week and 2 new ocs!!!! (and redraws of 4 older ocs, 2 of which are ready to post)
as for the worse news... man. i'm barely hanging here but woo i broke my tablet's pen and it's charging wire!! (i literally don't know how but it got separated from it's body while it was in it and i can't i can't even)
i am so so broken right now- i was so happy to update yesterday and reblog stuff since i finally got wifi again and- man it feels like i'm making this shit up but oh my god i wanna cry
i guess i could post everything i had the chance to draw before but gosh i'm so sorry but i can't promise more art after i announce which one was the last in stock- (at least until i get enough money to buy a replacement for them both)
i know i suck at communicating if i'm alive and just having a hard time but i swear this year was really rough on me and my health in general so i hope you guys can understand :'(
#rambling#delete later?#i am so so tired all the time#i guess it was a needed rest to just. not think about anything and draw for fun but it also wasn't exactly relaxing-#i have so little free time and wasting it feels so horrible and i'm. sorry#sorry for dropping off out of the sudden and sorry for the wait i'm aware that it's sad whenever it happens#i planned this post in advance so when i noticed my pen wasn't working anymore i was having such a breakdown i'm#i can't even open commissions i can't draw no more oh my gosh i'm sorry#just when you think it's getting better it gets a hundred times WORSE i can't believe my LUCK!!!!!#and oh my god SORRY for not reblogging stuff you tag me into as well!!!#i felt like every happy emotion was drained out of my soul and i couldn't act like i was excited and all when i was doing horrible so#i didn't read nor look at anything because you guys deserve the original reaction of surprise and some real compliments!!!!#sorry if that means i don't reblog right away but i refrain from looking at something and only liking if i plan on leaving commentary later#and to the asks staring daggers at me in my inbox yall i swear if i wasn't busy being stomped over by life i'd answer in a heartbeat-#THANK YOU to EVERYONE for sticking by even if you probably forgot you even followed me at this point hhh :'D#too emotionally tired to delete the old happy tags i typed before#i could probably post this once i get my emotions in check but man i'm TIRED of waiting i am so done#gosh it must be a disappointing return right? yeah#sorry for the long post but man- i just don't wanna worry you guys for nothing#so heads up i'm probably gonna take a day off after this and be less cheerful than usual once i'm back#so ill wait to reblog stuff later again (so sorry again)#i'll make an announcement once i start posting the art i finished meanwhile (one every day cause there's a LOT)
