sportsanime | Bonus Round 4: Quotes

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

An oldie but a goodie—in this round, we draw inspiration from famous words said by other people.

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
- Example: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche
- The quote can come from almost anything—famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, etc.— but please don't quote personal conversations you've had or overheard.
- Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

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 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each
Fills 51+: 1 point 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 (see the line of links below this post).

Prompt: "She was as unhappy as when someone puts your cake out in the rain, and all the sweet green icing flows down and then you lose the recipe, and on top of that you can’t sing worth a damn." -56 Worst Analogies from High School Papers

***

Daiki’s made her angry, sad, desperate. He’s made Satsuki cry more times than he can count, on purpose (shoving frogs in her face) and accidentally (pushing her too hard to the ground) and on purpose but when he feels bad about it because he feels like he’s about to cry, like his eyelids and throat are permanently swollen, like he’s got to drag someone down and it might as well be Satsuki. They can share victory; they can share memories; there’s no one else Daiki trusts to share his pain.

He’s made her unhappy, unhappy as when your pet dies, as unhappy as as when you’ve been ditched in the middle of the city by your friends and you have to scrounge up change on the floor of a fast-food establishment to afford a subway ride, as unhappy as when someone puts your cake out in the rain and all the sweet green icing flows down and then you lose the recipe, and on top of that you can’t sing worth a damn. Not that any of that’s happened to Daiki, but he can fucking imagine, and even that isn’t quite getting at the sorrow and pain he’s heaped on Satsuki over the years.

It’s just. It’s no excuse (a shitty one, anyway) but he loves her like a sister; she loves him like a brother. There’s never been any need to think their love was anything but conditional. Everyone else leaves; Tetsu leaves and Kise leaves and all of them fucking leave. Satsuki stays with him, even when he’s rotten to the core, which is all the time now. That’s no reason to do this; it’s even less of a reason to do this. She’ll love him no matter what and he lashes out at her, even though lashing out at someone who sees him as disposable would—well, they’re all going to leave in the end; this just speeds the whole process up.

If he keeps this up, she’ll leave. She can love him with all her heart and still step away, tell him not to do this, that he can’t do this, that he can’t do this to her. That she deserves better, because she does; Satsuki deserves a best friend who’s kind to her and puts up with her the way she puts up with Daiki, who does things with her instead of sulking in his room, who goes to basketball practice if only to hang out with her. Who doesn’t make her sad and angry all the time, who doesn’t make her cry.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; this was such a nice introspection into aomine's mind, and the contradiction b/t realizing he's should be a better friend but but unable to stop on his current path is something i honestly don't see much but appreciate greatly <3
