Hey!! Can you do 1.Murasakibara and Himuro 2.Akashi and Midorima in a love triangle with a girl they really like and who would win? Thanls!!

terriblesportsimagines:

You’re welcome!  Keep in mind, this is my opinion!

Murasakibara Atsushi vs Himuro Tatsuya

• Since they have opposite things going for them, this would
  be a matter of preference.  Also, extremely hard, cause damn
• Himuro is definitely smoother.  He’s a gentleman and he
  treats you like you are a lady.  He’s forever doing little things for you
  – opening doors, pulling out chairs, helping you with homework, etc.  He’s
  subtle about his attempt to attract your attention and keep it.
• There is nothing subtle about Murachin.  He demands –
  your attention, your time, sometimes even your body (not like that, filthy
  Reader-chan.  But he leans and pushes and just makes a nuisance of himself
  a lot).  He’s pretty selfish, so it doesn’t even really occur to
  him that you might not share his feelings.  He just wants, so he tries to
  take (hello, my yandere friend).
• Murachin’s always feeding you, which should be tip-off #1
  about his feelings.  Certainly, it’s how Himuro figures out that his
  feelings are deeper than friendship.  Murachin shares his snacks with no
  one.  He also doesn’t demand you buy him snacks, which is tip-off #2.
• Himuro sees Murachin as a rival right away.  He tries
  not to let it affect their friendship, but there is so grating about the way
  the giant center just assumed you were his without ever letting you make up
  your mind yourself.  Does his best to interfere, presenting more tempting
  options than whatever Murachin wants to do.
• It takes Murasakibara a while to catch onto what Himuro is
  doing, and at first he just realizes that his best friend keeps getting in his
  way, which was annoying.  When he tells Himuro to stop taking your
  attention away from him, Himuro meets the challenge head on. 
• Himuro gives a lot of way when it comes to Murachin, but not
  in this.  He wants you just as much.  Things get really tense, and
  you probably realize you are going to have to make a choice and hope their
  relationship could be saved.
• Who would win depends on the girl in question, but I think
  to a high school girl, a smooth, gentlemanly boy like Himuro would probably
  come out on top.  He’s considerate, and pretty, and sensitive,
  these are important surface qualities.
• (As an aside, I would probably pick Murachin lmao)

Akashi Seijuro vs Midorima Shintarou

• Since they live across the country from each other in high
  school, this would have to happen in either middle school or college.  I’m
  going the latter, because… reasons lol
• You’re all in different programs, but since they are friends
  from way back and got along,  they hang out a lot.  They also take
  similar first and second year courses.  That’s how they meet you, in a
  course they are taking together.  Group project yo
• Like the other pair, they have different things going for
  them, although they are closer in personality.  They are both serious and
  studious and have issues with arrogance and control.
• They are also unintentionally funny, which is really
  endearing.  Plus, their competence is attractive, since you were pretty
  used to guys trying to pass off their work onto you.
• With one being a yandere and the other being a tsundere it’s
  more obvious when Midorima starts to like you, at least if you speak
  tsuntsun.  If you don’t, then I hope at least you have a thick skin.
• Akashi is definitely better at talking to you in
  general.  While they both treat you like you have a brain, Akashi is
  better at coming across as calmer and mellower.  We, of course, know he’s
  not, but he’s better at hiding his intentions in general.
• Their approach is completely different.  Akashi is
  subtle, and a touch manipulative, whereas Midorima is somewhat more
  upfront.  He sucks at communication though, so is it really upfront?
• I just don’t see any situation where Midorima comes out on
  top, unless you prefer tsuntsuns, or there is something specific about Midorima
  that draws you.  Because you know Akashi is going to out maneuver Midorima,
  even just from a strategic stand point.  Plus, yanderes tend to have
  better emotional intelligence than tsuns, they can be more honest and they are
  better at recognizing situations as they are (so as to better
  manipulate).  They are both intelligent, and both kind of bad at social
  tho.  It’s just that one is better at faking it.  Plus, Midorima is
  really weird lol, which is an acquired taste.
• Let’s also remember that Midorima, even though he competes
  against Akashi is used to deferring to his former captain.  I’m not saying
  he’d give up just because Akashi likes you, but… I think this is a factor.

I love your perspective on characters. You get past the shiny outer coating to the deep stuff within that challenges how I want to write these characters.

Overall it’s still fun to create fantasties (aka unrealistic occurrences) but for deeper topics or even in a full blown story (as opposed to a scenario) I know my mind will be trailing back to some of the less desirable traits you highlight and that makes these boys feel more human.

I hope that all makes sense! Lol
