Honestly I feel like cheese rolling would be popular in the Shire. Idk I can just imagine hobbits throwing themselves down a hill after cheese.

This is gonna be the wildest hyperfixation blend I’ve come up with BUT hear me out: Set in the basketball au, the gang travels to Britain for a game and after winning decide to stay a few days longer. But - it’s may. And it just happens that they’re right in time for the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling And Wake event . Gojo (thinking ab it now would he be their coach in this au? ) sees this as a perfect opportunity to celebrate their victory with a potential new one .
While it’s a lot of fun it’s also incredibly dangerous (feel like at least one of them got concussed ) and they end up getting scraped up by Geto after reaching the bottom of the hill . Honestly I do think Toge would win
(Side note Nobara lowkey reminds me of the woman who won the womens league last year despite passing out, and still said she’d come next year again. Legend behavior .)(another note I’m so sorry on my lack of knowledge on sports the only ones I know about are stuff like this. I nevertheless love this au)

So. Okay. Yeah. Okay.. I can see it, I see it.
So:
a) Shoko is actually the head coach in the basketball au. But I think Gojo was the coach of the men's team before the merge. Either he's on the coaching staff as an assistant of some kind. Or he got a promotion and works in the Athletic Director's office. Or he is the Athletic Director. idk. I think I want Nanami to be the Athletic Director??? Doesn't matter, he's around. And yes, he would suggest something like this.
b) May is definitely in the off season. Which actually makes this somehow more likely. They're in the UK for some exhibition tournament, sure why not. Couldn't do it from like Nov-Mar because they had regular season games and postseason games. Some off-season oversees marketing gimmick is definitely withing the realm of possibility.
Tumblr media
c) This however, is an absolutely insane thing for a sports team to do. Just actively seeking out injuries that could end their season or even their career. Cost them scholarships & opportunities. Risk their teams chances at a winning season, good tournament seeding, championship titles......
and yet
I do think it's something Gojo would suggest, and I do think they would pretty much all do it. Megumi might sit out. Unless Yuuji or Yuuta convinced him. Nobara would get overly competitive with Maki as a backwards flirting attempt. Maki would play along at first, then actually get really competitive back because she hates losing. They would both try to sabotage each other and end up both loosing their footing and tumbling down the hill together.
Yuuji would try to go as fast as possible, lose his footing and absolutely face plant into a rock or a tree (I assume there's not trees on this hill. I hope there are no trees on this hill.) He re-breaks his nose.
Panda would immediately tuck and try and roll down the hill like he is a wheel of cheese, but his cheese would veer off and run into someone else, knocking them out and he would make it to the bottom without his cheese (I'm assuming this disqualifies you?)
Megumi would literally walk.
Yuuta sits out. He wants to give the others a chance to win. He came here last year and absolutely decimated everyone, stayed on his feet, not a scratch on him. But no one else on the current team was on that trip so none of them actually know this, and he doesn't want to dim anyone's shine.
And Toge wins. He just kind of, survives at a decent pace. And the dude is good on his feet, what can you say.
Geto (who is also on the coaching staff) originally thought it was a bad idea (because it is) but honestly thought it would be really funny so didn't put up much of a fight. He helps them all up at the bottom with his charismatic little smile that basically means "you're all idiots, but this was very entertaining, and watching you whine about all your aches and pains on the plane ride home will also be very funny because I will give you so much shit" and then takes Yuuji to the hospital.
This was a very funny, very bizarre scenario, ty for the ask lol

Have the niche nerds from Reddit had enough time to start their own niche blogs about their special interests?
Because I’m going to need you to drop them below so I can follow ALL OF THEM.

Gloucester, England is best known for its cathedral, but it ought to be known as well for a marvelous little tradition dating back at least 600 years.
Every year on the last Monday of May (formerly on Whit Monday, now every Spring Bank Holiday), the people of Brockworth flock to Cooper’s Hill in Gloucester for the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake.
The event is simple: a 7-9 lbs. wheel of Double Gloucester (a semi-hard cheese like cheddar) is rolled from the top of the 200 yard hill. With only a one second head start, the wheel of cheese is then pursued by enthusiastic runners down the hill, each hoping to be the first to either catch the cheese or cross the finish line, either victory awarding them the rolléd cheese as their prize.
The event was semi-formally regulated by locals until 2009, when it was officially cancelled. However, love for the tradition is such that a smaller informal Cheese-Rolling was held the next year anyway, and in 2011 a “Save the Cheese Roll” campaign brought some 500 people out to race even without management. Despite the lack of paramedics, no one was injured. And despite being cancelled during the start of the COVID pandemic, the intrepid cheese rollers of Brockworth were back at it again starting in 2022. It is so popular that foreign runners started participating and winning as early as 2004, and people have come from as far as the US, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Australia, Egypt, and Japan to take part.
The event, while hilarious good fun and exercise, does not come without risk. In rolling down the steep 200 yard slope, the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 mph, and enough spectators have been summarily… erm, creamed… by it that in 2013, the cheese wheel was replaced by a wheel of foam for health and safety reasons. Though absent in 2011, paramedics from local St John Ambulance brigades are on hand to administer first aid. Additionally, volunteers from the local rugby club and Young Farmers Club are stationed to catch racers who stumble at the bottom, as well as to carry down those who fall partway up.
This last point was of particular prominence during the most recent Cheese-Rolling on May 29th of this year. A lad from Wellington who flew in to run took a rather spectacular fall just feet from the finish line, and managed to tumbleweed his way right into the arms of a strapping young member of the Brockworth RFC. Witnesses claim that the chemistry was immediate and palpable, with both young men seemingly melting into one another at once with shy chuckles and much blushing, marking 2023 as the year of the first ever meet-charcute.
