Last Game hair style fixes, in order of who needed it most.

I've never liked the canon hair styles in Last Game. They're either hideous, or just simply don't fit the characters/style of the main series. I get its a (mostly different) art department and meant to age the characters up, but most of the time, they simply just look off-model to me. I know I'm not the only one who's got issues with the hairstyles in this movie too, so I did my best to fix them up and give them styles that I personally think suite them. Originals below cut as well as my explanations! Important to note, these are my preferences/headcanons for them so take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

**Akashi isn't here, because believe it or not, I actually think his hair looks the best out of everyone in LG.

I wouldn't change it. I like to draw him with neater hair/his bangs pushed out of his face when I age him up, but for the summer after the Winter Cup - when LG takes place - the canon hair is exactly the sort of style I think he would/should have. I like the allegory that the rough chop is something he did when his mental health wasn't good, so now as his mental scars heal, it's growing back out. ❤️

Midorima

A neater/shorter hairstyle does fit Mido's character/personality, but the LG hair simply just doesn't look like the same hair type we see in the main series. Mido's hair has got the slightest wave to it (which I tend to over-exaggerate whenever I draw him).

With this in mind, I went and gave his hair some more body/volume by extending the sides. (You'll see a lack of volume/body is the key issue with the other LG hairs as well).

Murasakibara

Mura's hair in this movie looks so so flat and greasy. Now I didn't do the best job fixing it up, but this is basically how you'd go about doing it; just add more flowy strands. His hair is pretty pin-strait in canon, but there's lots of flowing strands, even when he's not moving much, which give it a clean-look.

When it's all just one limp form, like the movie does, it appears unclean as opposed to just long and sleek.

Momoi

Another victim of the lack of body/volume. The style they gave her is also simply bad, like she just took a pair of scissors and cut in a straight line. There isn't even really any style to it. Its kinda just laying there on her head, which is not what her hair usually looks like in the main series. There's always strands/some lift to it. Also Momoi has always had some sort of bangs/framing pieces in her face, so for her whole forehead to be out was just a tiny bit jarring.

I think the style I came up with is a little more mature while still having personality and life to it. Plus, LG takes place in the summer, so a shorter hair style would be more comfortable in the heat.

Kise

Kise I don't think I did a good job of fixing to my liking either. It was hard to edit it without making it look bad in general, because I really don't think this choppy sort of style suites him like at all, so it was too much to change. Now his hair is one of the better drawn ones in this movie for sure, but it feels more like a Kagami hairstyle than a Kise one to me. I just don't think his modeling agency would let him have such a choppy, hard-to-style haircut. I also think a more polished look fits his handsome, princely sort of appeal that makes him popular with girls.

Aomine

Alright, now its time for me to be playful and silly with some out-there hair styles. Aomine (and Kagami's hair) in Last Game I don't mind. After Akashi, I would say Aomine looks the best. BUT. We have NEVER seen Aomine with long hair, even in flashbacks when he's a child.

So for him to finally decide to grow out his hair - in the SUMMER HEAT - just feels like a weird move to me. Feels out of character. He strikes me as someone who likes his hair out of his face when he plays ball and just wants to roll out of bed and not worry about brushing/styling it or anything. The animators also aren't consistent in this movie and sometimes his hair looks particularly long in the front and back, which again, I don't think he'd like. This picture below and the ones above are from the same movie/take place within like a week of each other, yet look so different.

He looks cute and it definitely gives him a more youthful look; which is a weird choice, because they want to age up everyone else but Aomine in this movie. So, I think a fade would really suite him (I don't think I drew it that well tho). Keeps his hair short and out of his face but also ages him up a little more with a mature style.

Kagami

Alright, Kagami's look here is pure indulgence. @knbposting said "Kagami with a mullet" and I haven't stopped thinking about it. Sue me. His LG hair isn't bad and makes sense for his character and the time of year. But its just sorta plain. Honestly, Kise's hair style in this movie would probably suite Kagami more. I always liked how in the main series, Kagami's hair is a little scruffy in the back so I really wanted to lean into that.

Is a mullet suitable for the summer heat/something he'd like? Well, maybe not but I think it ages him up while also seeming like something he'd get at some point in his life. So here we are. I will end this with saying this is probably the longest he'd ever let his hair get.

Kuroko

Finally, we have Kuroko, whose hair I've barely changed. Now, the animators/artists do a really bad job of keeping his face on-model (eyes too beady, features too sharp) but that's a whole 'nother issue, and I managed to find a scene where they kept him on-model lol. I think a shorter, neat style is good for the summer and suites him, but a main feature of all the hair throughout the main series is the spikes/strands of hair on nearly every character - Kuroko especially - so I just added a tiny bit more here.

And that's the end! If you read all the way to here, thanks for coming to my insane-person rant.

The answer is clearly Murasakibara but only bc he like got caught sleeping on a public bench or something.

[wannabe-cartoonist-blog]

An inforgraphic/cheat sheet for what Kuroko + Kagami are called/call other people (in Japanese/canon). You can use these for reference for fanfic, fanart, or just general knowledge! I tried to include everyone who refers to them in special way and address any set of standards (upperclassmen, classmates, peers, etc). In my opinion, how characters are addressed/what they address others as is a really important aspect of characterization and relationship dynamics! Do they use nicknames, are they polite/respectful. etc? It can be so enlightening for dynamics/relationships.

You may notice that the Miracles aren't here even though they have special nicknames/terms of address, that's because you can find the chart on that over here. If people like these, I might go ahead and make some references sheets for the Miracles too.

I watched an anime and changed my mind, Kuroko’s grandpa on his dad’s side has GOTTA be a rakugo performer I will be taking no further questions at this time thank you

(jk plz talk headcanons with me)

I also think he would call his maternal grandmother and grandfather “Baa-san” and “Jii-san”. A little less formal/different enough from what he calls his paternal side, but still with that respectful honorific. Upon further reflection I don’t see him using “-chan” for anybody lmao.

Making OCs Out of the KNB Cast's Canon Family Members Part 1

For those who don't know, we were actually given the GoM's canon family members from the creator via a Q + A. However, we didn't get any names or designs, so for years I've wanted to come up with some of my own. Well I finally started and to kick it off, we have the Kuroko family!

Family Tree + detailed profiles below cut! If you have any ideas for names, professions, personalities, etc... for the other characters family members (linked above), please let me know in the replies, tags, ask box, etc! There's so many....

Canon Facts: 

The immediate family consists of Tetsuya, his mother, father, and grandmother. They 4 live together in a small home. 

Tetsuya inherited his looks and invisibility from his mother and personality traits from his father. 

“Tetsuya” is one of the few names in the series written in katakana, not kanji.

My Headcanons: 

For the GoM, I like to imagine the colored hair is a paternal trait since the color is in the family name inherited from the father (Aka, Mido, Murasaki, Ki, Ao, etc). This would mean the colored hair is a dominant trait also (in this fantasy world lol). Kuroko is a fun exception here, as “Kuro” means “black” and we know canonically he resembles his mother in appearance. So, I imagine his mother was the one with some nod to the color “light blue” in her maiden name. 

I imagine Kuroko’s mother’s side writes their given names in katakana not kanji, just as he does. 

We don’t know which grandmother he lives with, paternal or maternal, so for here, I decided to go with maternal, so she’s technically not a “Kuroko”. I originally came up with his paternal grandmother first, but after some thought, I feel like his father’s side would be a lot more traditional and such, so the maternal grandmother would fit more in terms of the household living situation. Basically, Grandma Kuroko’s a lot more picky than Grandma Mizumoto. However, I still came up with the paternal grandma and kinda loved her whole vibe, so I decided to make a design for her too.

Kuroko Nobutaka (黒子 信考) - 

Tetsuya’s father, whom he refers to as “Otou-san” (equivalent of saying “father”). His given name means “faith/belief” + “consider/ponder”. A thoughtful and kind man, though hard for others to read. He can be a bit of an airhead and often gets lost in his own thoughts. He works as a professor of philosophy + ancient literature at a local university. Has a lot of published papers and often goes away to conferences and such. Is inept at cooking, so resorts to take-out when he and his son are left to fend for themselves (much to his mother-in-law and wife’s displeasure). Despite his bookish appearance + line of work, he’s quite into sports (particularly baseball, though basketball and golf come as close seconds). His wife has the ability to bring him out of his shell + also seemingly read his thoughts, which is why he fell for/noticed her to begin with when they met in college.

Kuroko Terumi 黒子 テルミ (nee Mizumoto  水本) - 

Tetsuya’s mother, whom he refers to as “Okaa-san” (equivalent of saying “mother”). Like her son, writes her given name in katakana, but in hiragana it’s written as 光海 and means “light” + “sea”. A cheerful, yet oddly invisible woman, she passed down her low presence to her only son. She and Nobutaka met when she moved across the country for university. She works for a publishing firm. She used to be very shy growing up which didn’t help with her invisibility, so ever since high school, she tries to make up for her low presence by being more expressive and out-going than the other members of her family, to rather moderate success. She’s well respected and rather high ranking at her job, which makes her busier than she would like to be for her son’s sake.

Mizumoto Yuuka (水本 ユウカ) - 

Tetsuya’s maternal grandmother and Terumi’s mother. Writes given name in katakana but in kanji its 佑寡 meaning “assistance” + “widow”. “Mizumoto” means “water” + “true”. Shortly after her husband died and sometime before her grandson was born, she came to live with her daughter and son-in-law to help around the house and has been with them ever since. She's an extroverted, affable woman and often has social gatherings with friends. Is a very good cook and makes meals for the whole family. Very self-sufficient and while not gone as frequently as her daughter and son-in-law, she's often taking trips with her friends. When she’s away, Tetsuya lives off of boiled eggs and MajiBurger, much to her displeasure, so she tries to plan meals in advance. Surprisingly tech savvy, so records all of Tetsuya’s broadcasted matches and keeps track of Seirin’s stats for the rest of the family when they can’t make it to a match (which is frequently since their jobs keep them so busy). Loves her grandson and has referred to him as Tsu-chan since birth.

Kuroko Tetsuya (黒子 テツヤ) -

An only child. He inherited his looks and lack of presence from his mother and learned his calm nature from his father. His parents are very loving (with many family photo-filled scrapbooks lining their shelves and constant communication through text) but are workaholics and his grandmother is quite lively and social for her age, so he’s been fairly independent since early on. Though he doesn’t see them often, he gets along well with his paternal grandparents, despite them being startled by him often because of his lack of presence.   

Kuroko Tsukimi (黒子 月美) (nee Kokuyōseki 黒曜石) -

Tetsuya’s paternal grandmother, Tetsuya refers to her as “Obaa-san” (equivalent of saying “grandmother”). Her given name means “moon” + “beauty”. Her maiden name Kokuyōseki means “obsidian” (black stone). (a dark gemstone to represent her dark hair and formal upbringing/personality). She’s rather no-nonsense and holds tight to traditional values. Slightly estranged from her son and his family, but they keep in contact as frequently as they can through writing. She and her grandson get along when in each other’s company as she admires his good manners (which she helped instill in his early childhood, when she and her son’s family were closer). Lives in the countryside with her husband. Insists on writing her grandson’s name in kanji. 

Kuroko Yoshiki (黒子 吉城) - 

Tetsuya’s paternal grandfather. His given name means “fortune” + “fortress”. A stoic, stern-faced man. He used to work for one of the oldest book printers in the country, but has since retired. The Kuroko family is known for their dark black hair that doesn’t fade, even in old age (though Tetsuya is the first to not inherit this trait, taking after his mother). Always watching some kind of documentary on a variety of random topics, which his grandson doesn’t mind joining in on when he comes to visit. Has a bad leg. Lives in the countryside with his wife. Wears the thickest lenses you've ever seen and often causes Tetsuya to worry about his own eyesight.

Mizumoto Tetsuhide (水本 テツヒデ) - 

A kind man who worked as a fisherman. Passed away shortly before his grandson was born. He liked to do magic tricks, something his widowed wife in-turn taught to their grandson. Given name in kanji is 哲偉 and means “philosophy” + “distinguished”. His grandson was named in honor of him. His daughter and grandson inherited his strange lack of presence.

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"
