Bonus Round 2: Images

[referees]

Back by popular demand, this round uses official canon artwork as fodder for speculation and extrapolation.
Please read the rules carefully before posting!

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on June 23 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Submit prompts in the form of a canon screencap from one of our nominated fandoms along with a ship. Screencaps can be from the anime or manga, as well as any other kind of offshoot media, e.g. official art, drama CD covers, light novel illustrations, magazine covers, photos from stage plays, and/or caps from games.
  • Doujinshi, fan-made games or any other fan-created work should not be prompted, even if you receive permission. Only prompt official, canon artwork.
  • Keep your prompt concise. Don't prompt a whole manga chapter, for example.
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Abe & Tajima). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Abe/Tajima). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
  • Upload the cap somewhere (imgur works well) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them. Including a text-only summary of the image is encouraged.
• Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work inspired by the cap.
  • Fills can be directly connected to the cap, e.g. panel redraws or writing fic that fleshes out the moment that was capped or that fleshes out what happened directly before/after, but fills can also be more indirectly linked. As long as the work is somehow inspired by the cap, it counts.
  • Fills that are too long to fit in a single comment should have the rest of the fill placed as replies to the original fill comment. The subjects of these extra comments should be something like "part 2 of X" or "continued."
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

Takako takes the time to stare at the slumbering body in front of her, looking without a purpose at the slope of Jun’s shoulders and the curve of his spine as he hunches over, his book propped up haphazardly against the grain of the wood as if that would give the impression that he’s a hardworking student.

Still, Takako thinks as she takes notes—makes them neat, just so that Jun can read them if he wants to—and scribbles the translation for, “he would cajole those with thick wallets in hopes of a free meal,” cajole being the keyword there, at least Jun hasn’t given up the illusion entirely. It’s endearing, in a hopeless sort of idiot way, when everyone knows that he goes straight to sleep right after lunch, English flying over his head while he slumbers.

The teacher pauses—Jun snorts, quietly, and Takako grimaces as she tries to act normal, feeling a mixture of “Jun, you idiot,” along with fond exasperation—and looks behind him from where he was writing on the chalkboard.

“We will be moving onto another difficult vocabulary word,” the teacher says and slowly walks over to the back of the room, almost as if on cue. This is normal; it happens every day—except on days where Jun is awake, by some small miracle—but Takako’s determined to make a change today.

“Jun,” she hisses and reaches out with her pencil, poised and ready. She hits him once in the shoulder but he doesn’t react—she turns her pencil around to strike him with the eraser, lightly as well, but he doesn’t even move a muscle.

The teacher nears. Reaches a hand up. Adjusts his glasses. Still reading from the same book, as if continuing his lecture without any ill intent in his mind.

“Jun,” Takako mutters and jabs him again, “wake up.”

Jun is slumbering so deeply that Takako would be concerned about his wellbeing if she didn’t know any better. She taps him again and again and, eventually, resigns herself to watching the events fold out in front of her eyes.

The following occurs, as it does every day, like some slapstick comedy routine: the teacher slams his book down sharply on the desk, startling Jun awake, and then asks Jun to repeat the word he just said. Jun, with a bit of drool peaking out of the corner of his lips, gnashes his teeth together as he looks at the book frantically. Their classmates watch on with somewhat awe—how can a student do the same thing time and time again—and then cringe together when the teacher asks Jun to repeat the word he just said.

Takako watches it—front row seats, joy—and then watches as Jun is sent outside to stand with a bucket in his hand.

“Terrible,” she mouths. Jun shrugs and sighs—breaks out into a yawn halfway through.
