Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. There's a lot of text here, but if you read carefully and follow the instructions step by step, you will be okay.
RULES
Please refer to the first comment thread of this post for an example of how this round works.PROMPTING
- Select a ship to create your prompt card about. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Haruki & Kazuma). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Haruki/Kazuma). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Visit this card generator.
- Here is a visual guide to using it.
- The large text box is where you can list prompts if you have your own ideas. Please list at least 9 prompts; you can list more if you want. (The generator says you need at least 24, but it's lying.) Single words or short phrases are better than sentences.
- Otherwise, you can use the dropdown menu found right below it. Note: some of these prompts lists are NSFW. (NSFW prompts are a-ok as long as you tag for it.) If you don't like some of the options that appear in a prompt list, you can delete them.
- Text prompts only, please. Also, each card square must be unique—don't list the same prompt 9 times.
- In "Configuration Options," make sure you select 3x3 and (Normal prompt). This is the most important step!
- Leave the tic-tac-toe card with its default colors, so everyone can read it clearly.
- Click the "Create a bingo card" button.
- Scroll down to see the card that was created for you. If you don't like the prompts it picked, you can reroll by clicking "Create a bingo card" again.
- When you're satisfied, scroll further down the page until you see a textarea box full of HTML.
- Copy and paste the HTML from the box and into the body of your prompt comment, then post!
FILLING
Fill prompts by selecting an individual square to create fanwork for, then leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. (Optional:) If you can fill three squares from a prompt in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, you get a tic-tac-toe (and an additional point bonus)! You can also just fill prompts as you please and get standard points.
- Prompt squares are labeled as follows:
A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3 - If you're trying for tic-tac-toe, you cannot combine squares into one fill. If your fill can satisfy multiple squares, pick the most relevant square: e.g., one square is sailing and another is pirates and you make a fill about pirates sailing, it's mostly pirates so put down the pirates square.
- Each fill must stand alone as an individual piece, but all your fills can slot into a larger universe if you'd like.
- You cannot fill a prompt square more than once, but you can fill every square on a tic tac toe card if you want to.
- You cannot work with your teammates to get a tic-tac-toe. Only individually achieved tic-tac-toes get the bonus.
- Multiple people can fill the same prompt square. You cannot "block" others from getting tic-tac-toe.
- Remember to also follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
- Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Bad luck follows Tatsuya around like a particularly stubborn companion that he never once asked for. It's there in every aspect of his life, weighing down on his shoulders whenever he tries to jump, weaving itself into the words of every single conversation he has, tripping him up when he feels optimistic enough to walk with his gaze fixed ahead of him, instead of at his own feet.
It wraps around his entire life like a vine, slowly but surely choking it until there's nothing left. Tatsuya deals with it, because it's the only thing he can do. He learns how to hide it, how to deal with it, how to fake happy, fake normal, fake, fake, fake, until he no longer trusts his reflection because he isn't sure how much of it is a mask and how much of it is actually him.
He learns not to care about that; this is just his nature, he tells himself, tells everyone else who makes mention of how perfectly controlled his reactions are to everything, as if he's predicted that they'll happen long before they actually do. Tatsuya doesn't explain it's because he's always prepared for the worst possible outcome for himself; it's about patterns, about knowing the situation and predicting the most likely path that something will take, the same as it is when he's on the court. Tatsuya knows everything he can about life in the same way he knows basketball; he's read the books back to front until he's mastered the theory of it. It's not quite as smooth in practice, and it's not enough to make up for the fact that some others have the luck, the skill, the talent that he doesn't, but it's still enough to beat the rest.
When he meets Murasakibara Atsushi, he thinks to himself that, well, this is just his bad luck too. Of course he will be paired with someone who serves as a constant reminder of everything he wishes he had, and doesn't. Of course he'll find himself falling into the role of motivating that person, when he's sure that it should be the other way around. Tatsuya isn't a caretaker, and he isn't nurturing; he loathes those who have what he doesn't and he loathes Atsushi just the same, resenting him for every day of practice that he's too lazy to apply himself, resenting him for every snack that he eats, every block that he makes without even having to try.
Somewhere along the line, that resentment turns into something else, turns into the complete opposite, but Tatsuya isn't sure if that's real, or if that's just the crack in the mirror.
