THE LOVE OF AN OLDER BROTHER || INUMAKI TOGE

request: Okay if you accept sibling fluff can I request inumaki toge little sister reader(in elementary school) ,where she's deaf and gets bullied for it but doesn't tell him because she thinks it's to much of a burden(like silent voice)

note: hello love! thank you so much for your request! tbh, i’ve never watched the movie A Silent Voice before, so I had to do some Youtubing to find some clips - and I blame you for making me ugly cry at 2 am in the morning lmao. It’s so sweet and such a coming of age story in a way, so I tried to channel that into my writing >< I definitely enjoyed this one a lot!

anime: jujutsu kaisen

characters: inumaki toge

pronouns: she/her

trigger warning: bullying/physical assault mentioned, along with self depreciating and suicidal thoughts. read with caution.

proof read: N/A

Being from a clan like the Inumaki clan, many from the Jujutsu world would just automatically assume that you’d inherate the powerful Cursed Speech Curse Ability from your family. However, there is always that few exceptions when it came to things like this; and this time, you were that one exception.

You were born deaf, and because of this, you were looked down upon by the elders of your clan for being a ‘waste of an heir’. Your father, a loving man, had always shield you from there vile words; and from example your older brother, a gifted user, became overprotective of you. He would willingly take a bullet for you, constantly showering you in love and affection, and even going so far as learning how to use sign language at a young age so he can communicate with you.

Because he just wants you to grow up in a loving and somewhat normal life. That’s all he wants for you.

Hence why, instead of following the normal route of a jujutsu student, your parents decided to sign you up in a nearby elementary school with the hopes that you get to bond with normal children. So that’s how you found yourself dressed in a cute floral dress, your white frilly socks with simple Mary Janes, your white hair pulled back into a delicate braid; all excited with your backpack filled with things you picked up at the stationery store and a bento prepared by your mother.

Since it was his day off, Toge took up the responsibility of sending you off on your first day, making sure that the entire process will be smooth sailing for you. Walking down the street of your town, he lets you swing your hands between each other, smiling behind his black mask at how excited you were to start your first day of school. It warmed his heart that you get to experience normal things like this, and without knowing it, you motivated him to push himself harder to become a stronger shaman, to protect the world that brings you so much joy.

Soon you both found your way into the school grounds and quietly, Toge brought you aside so that he can pull his mask down, revealing his tattooed mouth and tongue. But you just smile at your older brother, who smiles back before he reaches over to ruffle your hair between his fingers. Quietly he signed to you, mouthing the worlds he wanted to say silently instead of wording them out in the open; he was a Cursed Speech user, after all. The safest way for him to communicate for you is for him to use onigiri ingredients. or to word out the words silently whilst doing the signs with his hands.

‘You ready for school, pipsqueak?’

“Uf huf!” You said happily, your speech clearly slurred and not so clear since you had never been corrected on how to say words properly - but with how you excitedly nod your head with a wide smile, Toge can pretty much interpret what you were saying. Smiling warmly at your excitement, he leans over to kiss you on the forehead on last time before pulling his mask back on. With that he got back up and, after taking your outstretched hand, you two joined the rest of the crowd once more.

After a lot of paperwork and awkward one sided conversations, since Toge went with the excuse that he had a sore throat, you soon found yourself being led to stand behind your new classmates, who were focused on saying goodbye to their parents. Toge squatted down before you and you can immediately tell he was smiling behind his mask, causing you to smile back as well. Quietly he leans forward to rub his masked nose with yours, something that you two always do when the other is about to leave.

With a giggle you happily rubbed your nose against his as well, and with another parting pat to your head, he got up and followed the other parents that were ushered out of the crowded hallway. Soon a few of the more confident students started to introduce themselves to one another, and one of those children came running towards you with a grin. “Good morning! My name is Taku, nice to meet you!” He greeted loudly as he bowed at you and the girls around you, who all gave him an uninterested glance before turning their attention away from him.

But you did give him an excited smile before you started to sign back a greeting, trying to vocalise your name at the same time. This cause everyone in the hallway to pause and stare at you in confusion, since they had not expected for someone who looks so sweet and soft spoken to have spoken in such a loud and odd way. However before anyone can make a comment about it, the teacher finally arrived with a warm smile on his face, gesturing for the students to entire their new class.

This moment of excitement managed to distract the students and soon everyone flooded into the room, waiting for their seat arrangements to be settled by the teacher before they start their first real day as students. Of course, like any first day of school, you had to do the ice breaker activities to introduce your name and greeting the rest of the class. Everyone had to do it, regardless if they were ready to do it or not - and you were no exception.

You stood up excitedly before you started to say what sounds like your name, signing along the way to try and express yourself better. Once again, everyone was staring at you in confusion, having never heard someone speak like you before. Your teacher just smiles and nods, introducing you to the rest of the students simply. “Inumaki here is actually deaf, meaning she can’t hear you all. So you have to be more creative when you want to talk to her. However, just because she is different, doesn’t mean she is any different from you all. So I expect to treat her like everyone else.”

The simple explanation caused the rest of the students to nod softly, giving you more curious looks since they’ve never been around someone like you before. But on the outside, you were pretty much the same like the rest of them; so it was easy to forget that you were any different from them in the beginning.

It was actually really fun for you - for your entire life, you had always been around sorceress, feeling like an outcast in such a well gifted family. Even though you had a disadvantage, you had always been acutely aware of where curses were, being able to locate them quite accurately even without former training. But you were still a child, so you were given a chance to try out the life as a normal child. You were ecstatic, since you had always dreamed what it would be like to start school and live a normal life.

But, as if the world wanted to spite you, things never tend to go your way.

You remember how things first started out for you - people were shocked at how loud and different you were, but made a real effort to try and talk to you to try and get to know you; since that was what their teachers told them to. However, after awhile, people started to talk behind your back; about how you made no real effort to try and join the conversation, even though the hearing aids you donned on seemed to help you understand them just a little better. At first you ignored the comments of just a few people, having been able to ignore all the backhanded comments that the elders have made for almost your entire life.

However, the first ever boy who introduce himself to you, Taku, seemed to have deemed you to be the odd one out - and for some reason, had decided that you were going to be the subject of his new taunts and teases. At first it was small things like playful off handed comments about you that made your mood fall, but didn’t do much. You have been subjected to worse treatement from others. However, as the weeks go by, it was getting harder and harder to ignore.

Toge had noticed that as the weeks go on, the enthusiasm that you once held for school started to dwindle. Every time he asks you about it though, you would just quickly wave him off, saying that you were just tired with how much work it takes to with people who weren’t necessarily used to using sign language and understanding you. Technically you weren’t lying, since you were mentally drained trying to communicate with so many different types of people. But at the same time, all the off-handed comments were getting to you.

Your answer definitely has him concerned, since he was used to having his baby sister basically talking his ear off on a normal bases; but he didn’t push you too much. It was something he had learnt to do when it comes to you - that when you really need him, you’d come and tell him no matter what. And it was true; even if it was a small trivial matter, you always come whining to him for attention and a listening ear. So he doesn’t necessarily push you to tell him, but he did remind you that if you needed him, he would be there.

And you knew that, but the same time, somehow there were seeds of doubts planted in your mind.

“Don’t you think you’re annoying people all the time?”

“God, you’re so noisy! Can’t you talk quieter?! No wonder people don’t like talking to you~”

“Can you stop trying so hard? You just sound weird.”

It hurt you, and with how busy he can get with his own school life and rarely get to see you, these words started to fill your head and make you feel like you aren’t worth all the effort that people put into trying to communicate with you. It made you start to become closed off and stop making the effort to talk to people, because in your eyes, you didn’t want to be a bigger bother then you already are for people.

Your sudden silence definitely had your parents getting concerned about you, since they were weren’t sure as to why you were suddenly so quiet and secluded from your family when you all used to be such a close family unit. Toge was the most concerned one out of everyone, so after he finally got home from his classes for the week, he had brought some some of the fruit tarts he knows you love from a nearby bakery.

Quietly he made his way to his baby sister’s room, knocking on the wooden frame of the shoji doors to let her know he was coming in. “Salmon?” He calls out curiously as he carefully pushes open the door to your room open, peeking his head in side. The sight of you curled up on your side on your bed, not even acknowledging that your brother had entered your room. Your lack of response does concern him; so he quietly set the box of tarts down on your bedside table before carefully setting down on the bed beside you.

Quietly he reaches over to run his fingers through your soft hair, wordlessly giving you the comfort you didn’t know you were needing. Just a simple touch from someone who you have been trying to hide for so long definitely have your eyes watering. Wordlessly you turned to face your older brother, who just gave you an encouraging smile before he opens his arms for you.

You launched yourself into his arms, and if he hadn’t been waiting for it to happen, he would have fallen back from the sheer force of the hug. Any normal person would have asked you hundreds of questions that will frankly make you feel worse, but Toge was just a pro at understanding you without you needing to say a word.

He might not know just what is it that got you so upset in the first place, and just how much seeing him in your room made you feel a little less lonely; but he wordlessly just wraps his arms around you, pressing soft kisses on the top of your head wordlessly as you soaked his shirt with your tears. It breaks his heart that you were going through the pains of having to live with something that you didn’t choose to have.

But if all you need was someone to lean on, he just wants wants you know that he’s here no matter what.

Anon KG Characters with NDRV3 Talents

—————————————————

MYTH: Former SHSL Detective

One of the six chaperones of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate and Wyre’s childhood friend. Having grown up a massive fan of mystery shows, novels and video games, her ability to connect the dots to find the true culprit is unparalleled. Originally doing lost pet and infidelity cases, she has eventually risen to tackle on murders. But one mystery that she wasn’t able to solve for years is the whereabouts of her childhood friend Wyre ever since she got lost in the forest when she was 10, until she attended Hope’s Peak to find out that her friend has become an Ultimate herself.

Clothes: A purple fedora, a purple jacket over a white button-up shirt and a pink necktie, a purple tarten skirt, white knee-high socks and brown slip ons.

—————————————————

WYRE: Former SHSL Supreme Leader

One of the six chaperones of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate and Myth’s childhood friend. One day, when Wyre was 10, she’s gotten lost in the forest on a dare. But luckily for her, she was found by a bunch of lost kids who have also gotten lost in the spooky woods and over the years, she lead them with a firm, yet soft, hand and even recruited more lost children into her pack, making Wyre their official leader. Eventually, she was tranquilized by talent scouts and hauled over to to Hope’s Peak, where she reunited with Myth, once and for all.

Clothes: A moose skull on her head, green war paint on her cheeks, a leopard print tube top, brown fingerless gloves, a camo-printed cape, a bone belt, tattered brown shorts and brown sandals.

—————————————————–

SCAR: SHSL Magician

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. Ever since she was a child, she fancied herself as a Supreme High Demon Lord. She’s managed to wow crowds all over the world with her flashy illusions, her supremely convincing sleight-of-hand tricks and her overdramatic Chuunibyou personality that bleeds into her performances. Even at Hope’s Peak, she works hard to keep up her Demon Lord facade, but unfortunately for her, most of her classmates can see right through that facade, because deep down, she’s a just massive softie that cares too much about them.

Clothes: A black and red hooded cape that covers her hair and mouth, a purple and black lolita dress, black gloves, black stockings and red heels.

——————————————————

FUSION: SHSL Artist

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. Filling up sketchbook after sketchbook with his doodles as a kid, his mind is a treasure trove of golden ideas that are transcribed into equally stellar art. Eventually, his drawings and paintings became so good, that they could easily be mistaken for photos, and his painted sculptures could be mistaken for real people at first glance. During his time at Hope Peak’s, you can regularly find him wandering around the schoolhouse looking for inspiration for his next masterpiece.

Clothes: A brown and yellow artist smock with art supplies stuffed in the pockets over an oversized blue turtleneck with paint on the end of the sleeves, brown oversized pants and dark brown loafers. You can usually find him pulling art supplies out of his afro.

——————————————————–

FUSION II: SHSL Neo Akido Master

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. Sick and tired of her sassy and rebellious attitude, Fusion II’s parents sent her to a martial arts dojo, hoping it would teach her to be more disciplined and obedient. But unfortunately for them, while her Aikido prowess most definitely increased, her sassiness and rebellious attitude are still fully intact. In fact, Neo Aikido, a more violet and upfront version of Aikido, was invented by Fusion II for the sole purpose of spiting her parents, by making a martial art that’s the complete opposite of disciplined and obedient.

Clothes: A kimono with a blue top and a long frilly skirt with a white to blue gradient, white socks and tall geta sandals, for that extra kick.

——————————————————–

JANON: SHSL Child Caregiver/Assassin

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. When Janon was growing up, kids, despite their tsundere protests, all flock to them. So eventually, they got used to it and know exactly what tactics can tranquilize those little rugrats, which is how Janon became the SHSL Child Caregiver. But what their classmates don’t know, is that Janon has a real talent that matches more closely to their true nature; an assassin who mainly specializes in distant and indirect methods of murder, such as poisoning and sniping.

Clothes: The same clothes they normally wear, with their underclothes being their assassin clothes.

——————————————————–

SPARKLE: Former SHSL Inventor

One of the six chaperones for Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. As an ever-creative youngster, her head was just buzzing with ideas and she was just yearning to get these spectucular contraptions out into the real world. When her breakthrough invention, the levitating phone case, hit the markets, they were stripped off the shelves in less than one business day. She has an inventive, creative and hardworking mindset, matched only by her bombastic, loud and flashy personality that admittedly makes for a good advertising ploy for her gadgets.

Clothes: Golden goggles, a black and white striped t-shirt, brown overalls with a sparkly purple tool belt, matching brown gloves, sparkly purple rocket boots, and her signature sparkly purple cape.

———————————————————

EGG: Former SHSL Adventurer

One of the six chaperones for Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. A outgoing and boisterous, if cursed at the worst times, person, globetrotting and socializing gives Egg a rush that can’t be topped by any other activity. In fact, traveling is the only thing that Egg and Wet Sock both like, considering they otherwise contrast each other in every other way possible. But the one major thing that Egg likes about traveling is the wildlife; from jungles to tundras, from forests to the sea, they are a treasure trove of both nature knowledge and cursed comments.

Clothes: A green Hawaiian shirt with yellow flower designs, red ruby earrings and the same pants and shoes from their regular design.

———————————————————–

WET SOCK: Former SHSL Anthropologist

One of the six chaperones for Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. The antithesis of their twin, but equally as cursed and passionate about traveling, Wet Sock is prickly, aggressive and knife-obscessed, which as it turns out, if you choose to hang out with them, is simply a facade. Being ostracized in favor of their more friendly, if less intelligent, twin, Wet Sock grew bitter and resentful for other people, pursuing anthropology in hopes of finding out if there’s anything beautiful about people. But deep, deep down, underneath their black hoodie, all they want is a friend.

Clothes: The same clothes from their original design, except with a black oni mask and black gloves.

——————————————————-

CURIOUS: SJHSL Butler/Maid/Servant

One of the two SJHSL students participating in the SHSL Internship Program. Being raised and adopted by a royal family, they were taught everything about being prim, proper, poised and most importantly, obedient. Eventually, they’ve gotten every single possible servant duty mastered; from cooking to cleaning to even entertaining the royal family’s guests, nothing is out of reach for this miniature, yet overly reliable servant. Thier prim and proper behavior even extends to how they behave at Hope’s Peak, always willing to do what they can to help their classmates.

Clothes: A black and white tuxedo with a green tie and white gloves.

——————————————————-

NERD: Former SHSL Robot

One of the six chaperones for Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. “Project N-32-D” or as christened by their classmates, “NERD”, is the most advanced project ever crafted by famed roboticist, Professor P. Dexter. N-32-D is designed by P. Dexter with advanced humanesque AI and many useful functions hid snugly in his chassis. Not wanted his major project to get manipulated and toyed by humans, P. Dexter equipped N-32-D with an aggressive personality, a foul mouth and several weapons packed into his functions.

Clothes: The robot design from Nerd’s Picrew.

———————————————————

ELDRITCH: SHSL Entomologist

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. Inherently distrusting and paranoid around humans, Eldritch has turned to interacting with animals as a substitute for socializing with people, or more specifically, insects. Finding solace with the equally skittish critters, what propelled him into SHSL status was discovering a new species of insect that was believed to have long gone extinct. Despite his protests to the contrary, talent scouts were all too eager to drag him to Hope’s Peak for his contributions to entomology.

Clothes: The same camo hoodie from his original design, but with nature themed badges, a black t-shirt with an green insect design on the front, and bandages covering his fingers and legs.

——————————————————–

DREAM: SHSL Tennis Pro

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. With her sunny and energetic personality, an athletic talent fits her to a T (for tennis) and tennis is most definitely not an acception. Her positive and energetic personality and fast, yet accurate movements, managed to breath light into an otherwise uninteresting, yet under-appreciated sport, and catapult her into SHSL status. Her bright, cheery and sunny personality has attracted her a massive following both inside and outside Hope’s Peak.

Clothes; The came clothes from the original, except with Ryoma’s hat design on her shirt, and a pink and grey striped headband.

——————————————————–

IRIS: SJHSL Astronaut

One of the two SJHSL students participating in the SHSL Internship Program. A determined and optimistic little girl, she’s managed to pass her NASA exams with flying colors and land an internship at a NASA space base. Hoping that one day she will reach for the stars, she’s been training her mind and body for years in order to handle the hideous, yet mysterious, vacuum of space. But her ever-positive attitude just knows that her astronomical intelligence combined with her molten core of determination would make her a perfect astronaut.

Clothes: A dark blue jacket with the NASA logo on the front with a matching dark blue skirt, black stocking, and thigh high black boots with stars on the front.

————————————————————

FANCY: SHSL Cosplayer

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. With the ability to pull off both male and female characters in costume form, Fancy is able to cosplay as a myriad of fictional characters from video games and animations from around the world. Ever since they started to cosplay as “Charles” the main villain from the anime “Intergalactic Gentleman”, they’ve managed to cosplay as at least one character from every series in the book. What really pushes these cosplays above and beyond just regular cosplays, is that they are all handcrafted and sewn by Fancy themselves.

Clothes: The same clothes from their original design, except with a black and white cape, circuit patterns around the suit. gloves, top hat and cape, and a red scouter.

———————————————————

PURPLE: SHSL Pianist

One of the attendants of Hope’s Peak’s annual field trip to Kibo-Con Ultimate. Ever since her performance of Mozart’s “Eine Kliene” at her first ever concert at 7 years old, Purple has been hailed as a musical prodigy from a young age. But while her piano playing has gained her a barrage of fans, her timorous and emotionally fragile nature off the stage and away from a piano means that the attention was more of a curse than a blessing for her. If you do managed to get some words out of her, you’ll find her words and voice are as harmonious as her piano playing.

Clothes: The same clothes except with music note pins in her beret instead of a feather, and a purple and black skirt with a sheet music pattern.

——————————————————–

So, how’s my grand finale? I may have put more emphasis on the backstory in a couple of them. I hope that’s okay with you. If you want me to write more Anon KG Talentswaps, just let me know!

-Fusion Anon

Great! I do have a request from Wyre to please not write her in skirts, since she’s not a fan of skirts

EXTRA

Zodiac Sign: Aquarius - “One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With advancement and progress on their minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things.Many Aquarians aim to free themselves of personal and social conditioning. Although open to change in theory, Aquarians can be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong, but they can be very fixed in their opinions.Often a bit aloof and even standoffish, Aquarians nonetheless are usually well-liked. They are curious and observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias is offensive to the typical Aquarius.” MBTI: ISFJ-A - The Defender. “The Defender personality type is quite unique, as many of their qualities defy the definition of their individual traits. Though sensitive, Defenders have excellent analytical abilities; though reserved, they have well-developed people skills and robust social relationships; and though they are generally a conservative type, Defenders are often receptive to change and new ideas. As with so many things, people with the Defender personality type are more than the sum of their parts, and it is the way they use these strengths that defines who they are. Naturally social, an odd quality for Introverts, Defenders utilize excellent memories not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people, and details about their lives. When it comes to gift-giving, Defenders have no equal, using their imagination and natural sensitivity to express their generosity in ways that touch the hearts of their recipients. While this is certainly true of their coworkers, whom people with the Defender personality type often consider their personal friends, it is in family that their expressions of affection fully bloom.” Alignment: Neutral Good - “A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order.Neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.“ Enneagram: Type 8 - The Challenger. “We have named personality type Eight The Challenger because, of all the types, Eights enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities that challenge them to exceed themselves in some way. Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors—from starting a company, to rebuilding a city, to running a household, to waging war, to making peace.Eights have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. They use their abundant energy to effect changes in their environment—to “leave their mark" on it—but also to keep the environment, and especially other people, from hurting them and those they care about. At an early age, Eights understand that this requires strength, will, persistence, and endurance—qualities that they develop in themselves and which they look for in others.“ Celtic Tree: Rowan - “Rowan signs are idealistic visionaries with strong humanitarian and spiritual concerns. They enjoy change and dislike restriction and conformity. They tend to be “out of the box” thinkers and do well as artists. They are natural leaders and do best taking the lead, as they aren't good at following others.“ Temperament: Sanguine - “The Sanguine is a very social person who likes to be with people. Of all the temperaments, the Sanguine is the easiest to be around socially. They are n outgoing, handshaking, touching person. They bring life and energy into a room by their very presence. Their cheerfulness and humor brighten everyone’s life. They are an optimistic type of person who believes life is an exciting and fun-filled experience that should be lived to the fullest.” Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw - “Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, intellectual ability and creativity. Many well-known inventors and innovators have come from Ravenclaw. Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird, as well as their outstanding intelligence. They can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. While others may be inclined to shun and ridicule such people, Ravenclaws generally accept and celebrate these eccentrics. Though they are often called stuck up, that is not the case.” Primary Vice: Sloth - “Unlike the other capital sins, which are sins of committing immorality, sloth is a sin of omitting responsibilities. It may arise from any of the other capital vices; for example, a son may omit his duty to his father through anger. While the state and habit of sloth is a mortal sin, the habit of the soul tending towards the last mortal state of sloth is not mortal in and of itself except under certain circumstances.” Primary Virtue: Humility - “Humility is the quality of being humble. Dictionary definitions accentuate humility as a low self-regard and sense of unworthiness. In a religious context humility can mean a recognition of self in relation to a deity (i.e. God) or deities, and subsequent submission to said deity as a member of that religion. Outside of a religious context, humility is defined as being "unselved", a liberation from consciousness of self, a form of temperance that is neither having pride (or haughtiness) nor indulging in self-deprecation.“ Element: Earth - “You need lifelong bonds with people who feel like family to you. Earth people are true-blue friends – natural “givers” who are genuinely caring and responsible, and they find great fulfillment in helping people and being of service. Your secret to success: Kindness. You’re an inherently nurturing person, offering thoughtful and compassionate support to anyone who needs it. A good listener, you let people tell you their problems and then help to ease their suffering.”

66+ Alliteration Examples to Make Your Message More Memorable

Looking for some alliteration examples to expand your writing repertoire?

This post is going to be your go-to resource.

It’s packed with examples from pop culture, sports, literature, and content marketing that’ll inspire you to infuse alliteration into your own writing.

You’ll also discover:

How alliteration helped you learn letter sounds and develop memory skills when you were young;

The differences between alliteration, assonance, and consonance;

How freelance writers, bloggers, students, marketers, and literary greats use alliteration to touch the hearts and minds of readers.

Ready? We’ll start with a quick alliteration refresher.

What is Alliteration?

Alliteration is a stylistic literary device that refers to the repetition of closely connected series of words that have the same beginning consonant sounds.

For example, here’s an all-too-true story that repeats the beginning “b” sound:

“Barbara baked banana bread, but it burned.”

(Bummer. )

Alliteration has been used for centuries to breathe life into the written (and spoken) word through the effect of the sounds of words.

For example, in the movie “V for Vendetta”, V’s self-introduction takes alliteration to extreme. The effect of the string of “v” words certainly draws attention to his character through emphasis and tone:

The words of his speech tell his background story, but the repeated “v” sounds help viewers get a sense of his persona. The ominous impression of “V” is unforgettable.

This extreme example of alliteration demonstrates the power of verbal alliteration in film, but this technique has similar effects in written form.

Before we dig into the benefits of alliteration, let’s take a look at alliteration’s close cousins: assonance and consonance.

What’s the Difference Between Alliteration, Assonance, and Consonance?

There are two sound-based literary devices that are very similar to, and sometimes confused with, alliteration: assonance and consonance.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in a sentence, like “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.”

Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in a sentence, like “All’s well that ends well.”

Repetitive sounds are the common factor between alliteration, assonance and consonance. Alliteration differs from the other two because it refers specifically to the first consonant sounds in words.

What are the Benefits of Alliteration, Assonance, & Consonance?

Due to the repetitive component of alliteration, assonance, and consonance, they are considered phonological mnemonic devices, which help to emphasize concepts and make passages more memorable.

Sound-based literary devices can also help to project a tone or mood with repeated sounds in words.

Alliteration is a multi-purpose literary device and its use can impact us in a variety of ways.

Truth be told, alliteration has benefited us from an early age, even before we could read.

The Evolution of Alliteration (in Our Lives)

Alliteration helps preschoolers learn letter sounds and develop memory skills.

We’re first introduced to alliteration through nursery rhymes and other children’s poetry:

“Three gray geese in a green field grazing…”

“Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said, this butter’s bitter; if I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better…”

Children’s poet Shel Silverstein’s alliteratively titled “The Gnome, The Gnat and The Gnu” hints of repeated “n” sounds that are found sprinkled throughout his poem. His stylistic spelling also serves as a fun way to teach children that the letters “gn,” “kn” and “n” all make the same sound:

I saw an ol’ gnome Take a gknock at a gnat Who was gnibbling the gnose of his gnu. I said, “Gnasty gnome, Gnow, stop doing that. That gnat ain’t done gnothing to you.” He gnodded his gnarled ol’ head and said, “‘Til gnow I gnever gnew That gknocking a gnat In the gnoodle like that Was gnot a gnice thing to do.”

Fun alliterative tongue twisters challenge children’s fast-talking skills:

“Sally sells seashells at the seashore…”

“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers…”

But alliterative children’s poetry and stories do more than simply teach phonics or entertain.

While pondering pickled peppers, children’s brains also work on associating meanings and emotional responses to sounds that they hear.

Intrigued? Read on.

Sound Symbolism: Labeling a Sound

Sounds of words actually reinforce their meaning and influence the interpretation of our language. Sound Symbolism is the recognition of the concept that sounds have a certain inherent meanings and enhance effective communication.

So, how are these sound symbolisms developed?

Symbolism of sounds is derived in part from how we create sounds with our mouths and vocal chords. We categorize sounds with an “internal catalog” of facial movements related to certain words combined with our awareness of how we physically form sounds and words with our mouths.

Try this:

Form your mouth like you’re going to say a word that starts with “sn.”

(Go ahead, nobody’s looking.)

You did that nasally pluggy-uppy maneuver with your tongue, didn’t you?

We’ve associated our nose with the vocalization of the “sn” sound. Not coincidentally, many words that are related to the nose and mouth start with “sn,” like snore, snout, sniff, snoop and sneeze.

Skillful use of alliteration emphasizes a tone or mood through rhythmic repetition of sounds, eliciting a response to the “internal sound symbolism catalog” that we all share.

Joni Mitchell wrote the alliterative opening song lyrics to her 1970 hit, “Big Yellow Taxi” to set the tone of her message. Listen to the repeated “p” words that project her “spitting mad” mood about what’s happening in her world:

“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot…”

Let’s take a look at some examples of alliteration in our everyday lives that help us remember things.

Pop Culture: What’s in an Alliterative Name?

Plenty of science and thought is put into naming consumer products or brands. Here are some business and brand names that have obvious mnemonic qualities:

Dunkin’ Donuts

Krispy Kreme

Bath & Body Works

Bed, Bath & Beyond

LuluLemon

Coca-Cola

Best Buy

American Airlines

PayPal

American Apparel

Sports team franchise names that make the all-alliteration team are:

Los Angeles Lakers

Buffalo Bills

Pittsburgh Pirates (and Penguins)

Seattle Seahawks

We often hear alliteration in music and film artists’ names. These famous television, film, sports and political figures were given a natural edge on popularity with their alliterative names:

Ronald Reagan

Mickey Mantle

Katie Courec

Jesse Jackson

Lucy Liu

We can only wonder if Norma Jean Mortenson’s popularity and success was aided by the act of changing her name to Marilyn Monroe. Other celebrity artists that adopted alliterative stage names are:

Backstreet Boys

Beastie Boys

Dr. Dre

Counting Crows

Foo Fighters

Many fictitious characters in children’s cartoons, books or movies have alliterative names. To highlight his importance, main character Spongebob Squarepants’ name is alliterative, but his friends’ names are not. Some others:

Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse

Big Bird

Donald Duck

Peppa Pig

Bugs Bunny

Marvel Universe superheroes’ real identities and supporting characters were deliberately named alliteratively by creator, Stan Lee. Curiously, he admitted in an interview that he decided to use first and last names with the same beginning sounds to make it easier to keep them straight in his own mind! To name a few:

Bruce Banner

Reed Richards

Sue Storm

Peter Parker

J. Jonah Jameson Jr.

Fin Fang Foom

Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling artfully named supporting characters using various literary devices. Here are a few examples of alliterative names in the series:

Luna Lovegood

Severus Snape

Salazar Slytherin

Godric Gryffindor

Helga Hufflepuff

Demonstrated by Ms. Rowling, the use of alliteration in literature helps readers remember characters in a story.

But writers can also use alliteration to emphasize a passage or develop a certain tone by repeating similar sounds. Let’s dive into some creative alliteration examples in literary classics.

Examples of Alliteration in Literature

In poetry and prose, alliteration and other sound devices like rhythm help create a tone or mood, suggest a tempo, and emphasize certain words or phrases.

Alliteration In Poetry

This following stanza of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge demonstrates his poetic use of sound-based literary devices in his work. Alliteration ties the words of the poem together as well as creating rhythmic and pleasant sounds:

“The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea.”

Alliteration helps to suggest an eerie rhythm of Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “The Raven.” Notice the alliteration pairs in the first three stanzas:

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,…”

William Shakespeare used “f” sounds and “l” sounds to create images of death and life, respectively, in his prologue of “Romeo and Juliet”:

“From forth the fatal loins of these two foes; A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.”

Alliteration In Prose

In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Harper Lee used alliterative descriptions of families and places to emphasize the importance of these entities in her novel. With a heavy emphasis on “s” sounds, the town of Maycomb is described:

“…grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square… a black dog suffered on a summer’s day; bony mules… flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square…”

Alliteration In Speeches

Due to its rhetorical nature, alliteration appears in many famous speeches in which sound-based literary devices like alliteration help to set a tone.

For example, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address opens demanding attention with repetitive “f”sounds:

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation…”

Another example is Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which emphasized his dream for his children by repeating the hard “c” sound:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

These classic examples demonstrate that alliteration, used with other literary devices, helps readers develop sensory and emotional connections with words. That connection in turn helps to build a stronger understanding of the passages.

Ready to see how contemporary content writers artfully use alliteration to emotionally connect with their readers?

Examples of Alliteration in Content Marketing

We all know that the purpose of content marketing is to make a connection with our readers and inspire them to take action.

To that end, we’ve learned that we can use alliteration, power words, sensory words, and other writing devices and tools to create sensory and emotional connections with our readers. This emotional connection can help persuade our readers to take action.

Alliteration helps call attention to headlines, subheads, and email subject lines, but alliteration can also help to emphasize a point:

“Smart speakers, as well as their speechwriters, sprinkle their speeches with carefully-chosen power words…” – Jon Morrow

Let’s feel the power of some alliterative subject lines:

Pack a Punch With Alliterative Headlines

Alliterative phrases in these headlines call attention to the message and emphasize their purpose through alliteration:

57 Metaphor Examples That’ll Pack Your Prose With Persuasion

Working From Home? 14 Sanity-Saving Tools (+35 Pro Tips)

How to Become a Freelance Writer, Starting from Scratch

And, this power words headline gets alliteration bonus points:

801+ Power Words That Pack a Punch and Convert like Crazy

The rapid-succession Pack-a-Punch and Convert-like-Crazy plosive alliteration combo exerts an authoritative influence of Power like the old one-two. (Hard beginning consonant sounds create a sense of authority, but more on that later.)

Stop Scanners with Alliterative Subheads

Subheads serve several purposes, primarily to help organize your content for the reader. Alliteration can stop “subhead scanners” in their tracks by eliciting an emotional connection through sound symbolism, like these:

This one demands attention:

Polish Your Post So It’s Smoother Than a Slip ‘n Slide – from How to Write a Blog Post in 2020: The Ultimate Guide

And this subhead…

Make Money by Creating Collateral for Content-Hungry Business – from How to Make Money Writing: 5 Ways to Get Paid to Write in 2020

…leads readers into this alliterative text:

“In the last five years, content marketing — this concept of creating valuable content to attract customers and build credibility and trust — has undoubtedly gone mainstream.”

Get Clever With Alliterative Calls to Action

Email subject lines that use alliteration spark a call to action by projecting a certain tone or mood, connecting with the reader on an emotional or sensory level.

Here are some clever alliterative subject lines of email received while sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic:

These alliteration examples show us how we can make a memorable impact by emphasizing a point or projecting a feeling or a mood.

Ready to put alliteration to the test? Let’s start with a little experiment.

Alliteration: Testing the Tone

But how can we use alliteration in content writing to be more persuasive and memorable?

Circling back to the concept of sound symbolism, we learned that sounds have inherent meanings. Let’s see how effective those inherent meanings are when they’re emphasized in alliterative phrases.

If you recall, we recognized the strength of the alliterative beginning word sounds in:

801+ Power Words That Pack a Punch and Convert like Crazy

But not all sounds are created equally.

To demonstrate, we’ve replaced the original alliteration with other alliterative words that express a similar concept:

XX Power Words That’ll Steal the Show and Woo like Wonder

Our revised alliterative headline falls flat because sibilant “s” and airy “w” sounds aren’t as authoritative as the original plosive “p” and hard “c” sounds.

Clearly, we need to pay attention to projected tones of sounds when using alliteration.

Alliteration Effects: How to Use Them

Reverse-engineering successful alliteration begins with understanding the effect of beginning word sounds.

Match the Sound to the Mood

Beginning consonant sounds are associated with a combination of two physical actions when we vocalize the sound:

Voiced or Voiceless (whether the vocal cords are used to make the sound), and

Fricatives vs. Stops (whether or not air is pushed from or stopped at the mouth).

Hard consonant sounds that are typically voiceless or stops, and will have a plosive sound that can elicit a sense of authority or abruptness.

Conversely, some soft consonant sounds are typically voiced or fricatives. They can be soft and breathy, eliciting a more soothing tone. Other soft consonant sounds like “s” or “z” are sibilant, suggesting malice or slyness.

Alliteration Tip #1:

A key to successful use of alliteration is to match the effect of beginning sounds of words to project the desired effect of your writing.

Test Out A Tool

Stuck for an alliteration?

Poem Generator has several writing aids to suggest phrases or passages to writers. Among these tools is an Alliteration Generator. Simply key in a word or sentence that you’d like to alliterate, and the generator returns a list of options.

We tested the tool by entering:

“Let the tool do the work.”

Our results included several options including:

“Let the tired, trustworthy tool do the wooden, witty work.”

Obviously, a tool doesn’t possess your creativity and judgement, so use it as an aid instead of an end. Results vary!

Alliteration Tip #2:

Solicit the help of alliteration generators to suggest alliterative words, but remember that your creativity far outweighs any software program.

Give It a Go, But Don’t Go Gaga

Once you get the hang of alliteration, you may be tempted to use it more often than you should. Don’t!

Simply said, sentences with a surplus of similar sounds will sound silly and somewhat stupid!

Alliteration Tip #3:

Don’t go overboard with alliteration in your writing. Like all powerful tools, you need to use alliteration sparingly.
