in light of knbā€™s arrival on netflix, i would like to gently remind everyone that fujimaki is a man of many great ideas and a few not-so-great ideas
the most obvious of which being, for example, his treatment of characters such as momoi and alex who are truly wonderfully written characters - but they read as shallow because theyā€™re used in so much fanservice.
but that is not the reason i am here (and you can thank @kuwokoā€‹ for encouraging me to go ahead and write this again).
so!
you may know me from @kurobasu-writingsā€‹, where i previously wrote a rant regarding the demonization of akashiā€™s mental illness. this was posted on may 8 of 2019, so it is relatively old now. i knew back when i posted it that i could not word everything as concisely as i wanted to, so every once in a while i come back to it and i figured i should put out a fresh post for any new fans coming in.
(hereā€™s another wonderful post you may have seen already on the demonization of DID (dissociative identity disorder))
to those of you who are new to knb, this will contain akashi-centric spoilers through to season 3. i am going to ignore extra/last game for now, because. bullshit.
with that all said, allow me to begin.

WIP roundup
thank you @knb-basketball-babes ā€‹for the tag~!
i had to hunt through multiple of my writing programs for this lol. these are my most significant ones! my other ones are just. `lays on the floor, half-abandoned`
CW-12208861 - KNB
this one is actually on ao3 though i havenā€™t updated it in a while. sort of sci-fi esque au (i call it my cyber au) where akashi is an AI constructed by akashi corp - he self-destructs after 13 years of what would be considered torture, were he human. except the self-destruct, despite killing hundreds of people, doesnā€™t carry through; he survives. momoi, one of the head scientists in his development, alongside aomine who does not want anything to do with akashi, takes him in. together they work on developing a plan to take down akashi corp and the man at its head, akashi masaomi, to prevent the same fate from befalling akashi again - or any future AI constructed with his schematics. i think this one is set to be akakuro with momoriko as a side ship.
pressure/home/magic (officially: unnamed) - KNB
a high fantasy au (as many of my things are). akashi-centric (as many of my things are). a world of specialized magic and the many dangers that come with. having only just joined the other members of the Guild of Miracles, having so quickly been accepted as their leader, akashi questions what it means to lead the people he's already betrayed and hurt once, and what it means that a part of him is still angry. kuroko and the others trust him unconditionally. he fears they may need some conditions. sitting at 25k but there are so many consistency and plot errors so who knows?
one dying wish - KNB
also fantasy. also akashi-centric. akakaga. the world is infested with mutated wildlife. people volunteer to fight and keep these populations low. but stuff's kinda fucked up and they're also competing. think hunger games vibes but they don't compete directly against one another.
kagami dies mysteriously and akashi is determined to bring him back; he makes unlikely friends with the rest of the miracles. this one has a BILLION plot holes (because itā€™s inspired from a dream) and needs a total rewrite that i'm not sure i'll ever get to.
stelle castate ("cast stars") - JJBA
yeah yeah i know y'all don't care about my jojo stuff bc this IS a knb blog but i like to ramble about this one so hear me out. also fantasy (what can i say? i don't like guns). fugo-centric. basically follows the plot of part 5 of jojo except for the fact that i made stands into Magic and changed lots of small details. that and i monologue a lot - this is in-depth on character development, particularly with a focus on fugoā€™s thoughts on giorno and on bucciarati.
oh and fugo like, shows up in the final battle. and there are some people that i specifically refuse to kill off because i like them <3 and there's more that continues even after part 5 canon ends. like a whole entire arc more.
(me? putting dio into part 5, the part thatā€™s about dioā€™s bastard son but weirdly has no dio OR joestars involved it whatsoever? itā€™s more likely than you think.)
if you're into that kinda stuff idk you can go pop over to @moonlit-doodles and ask me questions there. 27k and not even close to done.
unnamed original
guess what genre it is? take a guess. just a guess. anyway. local tired half-or-so-vampire/human mix who's been unfortunate enough to have the same friend for over 2000 years, adriel, undertakes the role of helping one (1) time-traveling mage bastard, sesha, in preserving humanity. why? only sesha knows. adriel just thinks humans are neat. immortality is pretty overrated anyway.
sesha thinks adriel is Neat because heā€™s an absolute tank, heā€™s fun to tease, and heā€™s obscenely loyal both to humanity and to sesha himself. theyā€™ve been saving the world together since sesha first bumped into adriel. itā€™s pretty much become the norm. but this time is different, adriel keeps thinking. something about it is different, and sesha tells him heā€™s right but wonā€™t tell him why.
will i ever fully write this one? weā€™ll find out <3
anyway thatā€™s all of my significant wips, folks. i will taaaaaaaggggg uhhhhh. actually idk. anyone who wants to do it can go for it!

Introduction
Tumblr media
Hey guys! Youā€™ve found your way on over to Hoops and Loops, our promotional tumblr blog for Kurokoā€™s Basketball!
This serves as a promotional post as well as an about, rules, and masterlist page for mobile users.
ABOUT
We are an open Discord roleplay server - meaning that we welcome spectators with open arms! This rp server is built in a post-apocalyptic au where nature has reclaimed the world and mankind is working to rebuild and reestablish itself.
We donā€™t only rp! We have quite a few miscellaneous chats where we share art, memes, funny quotes, and all sorts of things - so even as a spectator youā€™re never missing out and can still actively chat with everyone!
More details are below the break!

another update!!
character applications are now open to all! i will make a post shortly which i will pin to this blog for mobile users since you can't see my pages on desktop.
this post will contain rules, a brief about which will be updated as we establish more, and the masterlist of characters which are already takenā€”these are all available on desktop via my page links, i'm only making this for ease of use for mobile users!
i've linked a server invite to my description which you can use to join our server!
anyone is welcome, even if you just want to spectate!
my fellow mod and i are steadily working out all of the details for this au and we think it's going to be VERY exciting so we really hope anyone out there who still shares our love of knb will join us!
hope to see you guys around!!
ā€” mod

such a quiet fandom....there are so few of us straining to bring it back from the brink of total annihilation. not that I'm active on THIS blog but on my other ones lol. that's why i have an affiliates page tho!!
Omg YES a KNB writing blog that's active, you made my day! :D It's sad how the fandom is running short on active blogs, this is such a good anime! I just opened a RP blog but so many of my old mutuals are gone :(
It really is an incredible anime! I've been vibing in the fandom for years and it used to be pretty poppin', but now it's... so quiet

hey everyone!!
i know i've been super inactive lately but i swear i have reasons. first: uni. second: this blog. third: this blog/server.
(there are two other big reasons but those are the ones that AREN'T knb-themed so.)
anywho!
if you guys are at all interested in joining my knb roleplay server on discordā€”please go to @knb-rp-group !!! i'm working on bringing it back to life including worldbuilding for an au and etc! you can join to roleplay or to spectate! we just want more people lol.
and if you guys are interested in sending asks to my drawing ask blog (which is another knb au (yes i literally draw responses to like all my asks it's like free art)), please check out @ask-fantasy-basketboys !!
other than that, i will hopefully return to managing this blog soon once i get back into writing things for knb!
thank you so much for your patience, just know i haven't forgotten this blog and i have a whole slew of asks in my inbox that i will get to eventually!

we're back baby.
new plans, new people, new system.
keep an eye out on this blog for the next week or so. i'm planning a total rebuild of this server including an alternate universe setting plus a plot to keep things moving (though i will not impose activity rules, dw, i know the fandom is small and busy nowadays)
once i am done rebuilding i will reopen my inbox to new character applications and anyone will be able to join to spectate or to roleplay.
anyone still with us? we'd also love to see anyone still interested in knb period! this isn't just a roleplay server, you're welcome to join to share memes and art and talk about these characters.
i'll post a server link in my bio before too long once i've gotten things situated.
keep an eye out!!
ā€” morgan

quick update
hey guys, youā€™ll see iā€™ve recently made an update to my rules page - i no longer write nsfw requests. sorry! but as i started to proceed into adulthood i started becoming less comfortable writing nsfw requests for knb characters, seeing as most of them are 16-going-on-17
i will not be deleting any of the nsfw asks that i have answered, i just wanted to let you guys know that i wonā€™t be answering any more of them!

1, 7, 13, and 15? :3
1 - Animated character that was your gay awakening? - hahaha, good question! uhh, i canā€™t pinpoint exactly one, mostly because my memory is bad. katara? maybe? i donā€™t think an animated character was necessarily it. probably more. annabeth.
7 - What was your first word as a child (that wasnā€™t a variation of ā€œMomā€ or ā€œDadā€)? - bro i literally have no idea and i am not about to pick up the phone and ask. probably ā€œgampaā€ (grandpa) or something simple like , i dunno, banana or bye-bye.
13 - Brunch or midnight snacks? - brunch
15 - What coffee drink would you describe yourself as? - ok, my favorite coffee drink is this peanut butter java freeze from the local bakery. but i think if i was describing myself as a person, itā€™d be an iced peppermint mocha in the summertime. with ristretto espresso. order it sometime, itā€™s good and starbucks has peppermint year round.
