AATT Lore Post

Hello and thanks for tuning back in with me.

While writing the latest chapters I realized that I never bothered to explain the lore of this AU before, so that is what I am going to do now.

There isn’t really much different, other than the main ‘quirk‘ that makes it an AU: Suga went to Aoba Johsai and not to Karasuno.

Other than that, there are (so far) only two things that I realized might need further explaining.

1st) The High School Time Line 

In this AU I decided, for plot sake, to put one more year in between the canon second and first years, so that eg. Daichi, Asahi and Kiyoko had already graduated when Hinata, Kags and co came to Karasuno - so they never met.

I know that this way there is a small plot hole concerning Kageyama’s and Oikawa’s rivalry but I am currently thinking of a way to patch it up.

This, unfortunately, also means the First Years have become a little irrelevant for the story and will therefore, except for a few exceptions, not make an appearance. So far Yamaguchi, Yachi (because they are precious) and Lev (because I am a desperate LevYaku whore) safely included into my concept, as for the others I am still looking for opportunities to introduce them.

2nd) The Setting

Originally I planned to have AATT set in either Saitama or Tokyo (or just any other big city that isn’t Sendai) but then I realized, I was too lazy to read myself into Japanese city structures and constantly fumble with google street view, to make descriptions and routes accurate. (Yes, you may hate my lazy ass, but eh, writing this is supposed to be fun, so I do what I want *insert evil laughing*)

So I decided to simply add another big city to the country. In my head I drew a line through Yokohama and Tokyo and then somewhere around the same latitude as Saitama, I dropped my new cultural epicenter for the boys to wreck havoc in.

It doesn’t have a name, so for now it is just “The City“ (da da da dam *drumroll*).

So, thats it so far, I hope I was able to bring a bit of light into the darkness.

Should further Lore appear I will add to this post.

Me: I should probably save my most expensive paper for big important painting projects

Also me: *paints a minion on said paper*

Second Batch of my coat of arms designs 

-> AU Masterpost

-> Batch 1: Aoba Johsai & Karasuno -> Batch 3: Nekoma & Fukurodani

More Info below the cut:

Shiratorizawa: - “Intense Force, Rich Harvest” - Eagle holding corn crops and Swan holding arrows on purple ground - Main Export: Tea, Beef, a very wide variety of agricultural products - Country with both the most surface area and the greatest political influence - Shiratorizawa has many small pockets with unique religion and folklore but they all unite under the temple of the harvest goddess -  it is not an official state religion even tough most of the population follows it and the festivities are state supported

Dateko: - “Iron Wall & Iron Will” - Fortress and Bramble branches on green and grey ground - Main Export: Stone, various ores and metals - Considered the oldest still existing kingdom in Miyagi (in a close tie with Karasuno), famous for masonry - Dateko is probably the most secretive country on the continent and little to nothing is knows about their religion, only that they worship the earth and the stone - the people seem to be very invested and deeply religious although details rarely leave the country and they are not eager to discuss their believes with outsiders

These came way faster than I anticipated, since I didn’t know that there was a bus strike in my area today and I couldn’t go to university (not that I am very bummed about missing my super boring english course).

Some style/design experiment featuring my secondary sona Leviathan.

I haven’t been very happy with the original design of the upper horns recently, because I never manage to get the curve right, so I’ve decided to explore some alternative shapes - don’t know if I will make this design permanent yet, but I like it plenty for now ^-^

Art made by me, character is mine too, please don’t use, trace or heavily infringe!  You can also find my art on DeviantArt where I go by CharlyLee.

-> AU Masterpost

-> Batch 1: Aoba Johsai & Karasuno -> Batch 2: Shiratorizawa & Dateko

More info below the cut:

Nekoma: - "We are the Blood - Connect, Flow & Flourish" - Two cats, third eye and jewel on red, white and black ground - Main Export: Fish, Agricultural Products, Jewelry - Struggling country on the Tokyo continent, although since joining the Fukurodani Alliance they have been steadily expanding and gaining in influence - not much is known about the country and its traditions - Nekoma has, as most nations in Tokyo a deep rooting connection to the arcane, but no specific religion - the most commonly recognized deity is the three eyes Goddess, who allegedly founded the royal family during the First Age, her creed is focussing on honesty and reliability

Fukurodani: - “Focus of the Mind and Heart” - Owl, crown and crossed swords on gold, black and white ground - Main Export: Crops, Wood, low-grade Ore (mostly zink, bronze and copper) - Central power of the Fukurodani Alliance and competitor for the most influential country own the Tokyo continent - Great military strength - Fukurodani too is very closely connected to the inhuman and supernatural, although they take a more political and less religious approach to interacting with the arcane - there are many pockets actively worshipping specific temples, the largest being the Church of Three Suns but even it is not influential or important enough to be considered having a large impact

Okay so, so far those are all - I have more ideas (specifically for Wakunan and Johzenji) but none of them will play a significant role in my continuation and are more minor mentions so idk if I’ll draw them too. (Let me know tough if you want to see them or any other teams/kingdoms - if you do I will probably do them)
