TAS OUTLINE!

Okay, so from chapter 19 I was planning on having Arisa become the main antagonist between Suna and y/n’s relationship (if that wasn’t already obvious). I was also planning on making Terushima one as well, but then I actually thought abt it and I feel like he’s always the “bad guy” in some smau’s so I wanted to give him a break. Anyway, Arisa would cause drama on a “suna stan” acc and a gossip page would eat up the whole “love triangle” angle. And then Star Ent. would also feed into the drama, but they’d have to be more professional about it. All this drama would eventually lead to drama including Eito, which would then cause y/n to pack up and live w her parents for a bit because the paps somehow found where y/n and eito lived and they didn’t feel safe living there anymore. So they’d go live w y/n’s parents and completely drop social media, she’d only text her friend group, suna, and ejp fangirl and adlers fangirl.

I was then planning on a lil time skip, maybe like a year?? Or however long it would’ve taken for everything to blow over. The new arc would be named “the aftermath” or smth similar (I was only planning on having three arcs). Y/n and Eito would live somewhere different, probably closer to Kei so he could help out with anything if something like that happened again. She and Suna are still talking, and they’re probably closer than ever. Arisa still hasn’t given up on getting Suna back, but at this point she’s old news and nobody is paying any attention to her because she got her ten seconds of fame. Eventually, Suna and Y/n would confess feelings™️ and then they’d go on a date. The end.

Kidding omg- the epilogue would be something like Suna in the olympics, they’ve been together for abt a year, Suna proposing after Japan men won the gold for volleyball (I KNOW JAPAN’S MEN’S TEAM DIDN’T ACTUALLY WIN BUT LET ME DREAM, they just didn’t have Hinata, Kageyama, Atsumu, Ushijima, and all the others) and then Y/n accepting w tears in her eyes as she happily announces she’s pregnant w another child (and yes, it’s Suna’s). The actual end. (:

hi! hope you are okay and wish you all the best :)

since the suna smau is discontinued would you mind (if you outlined the smau till the end) sharing how/what was suppose to happened next?

hi! thanks! i hope you’re okay and wish you the best as well!

and that’s a good idea! i never thought abt that. yeah, let me… it might take a few, hold on. i’ll have it up hopefully by tomorrow! and i’ll def link it to the masterlist for the smau! and if i don’t, you can bug me for it until it comes out… 👀

[setterspirit]

hi isla!! i was wondering if you were going to update your suna smau:)

hi, anon! i’m really sorry to tell you that i think i’ll be drifting from the fandom… my motivation to write just hasn’t been the same since i started drafting the suna smau. this is a bit more in-depth w what’s going on, but i’m sorry to say that i won’t be continuing. i hope you understand. ): 🤍

ALSO I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED ANOTHER ASK THAT HAD THE SAME QUESTION WHEN I MEANT TO PRESS ANSWER AND IM REALLY SORRY ABT THAT. 😭😭 ANON BABE IF YOURE READING THIS PLS, IM SO SORRY I MEANT TO ANSWER NOT DELETE. 😭 Idk what my brain was thinking when I pressed the three dots n not the blue button that says “ANSWER”.

[setterspirit]

Hey guys, this is just an update on what’s going on with my three ongoing smau’s.

Sadly, I’d like to start this post off by saying that I will be discontinuing all three smau’s. It was not a decision I made lightly, but it was a necessary decision. I have found myself drifting from the Haikyuu fandom as a writer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still in love w the Haikyuu fandom, but I’ve just recently been really unmotivated to write anything for those smau’s.

I’ve had a fun time writing those smau’s, but I think it’s time I moved on from writing for Haikyuu. I hope you support my decision and that it doesn’t upset you guys too much, but this is the decision I’ve made, so please respect that.

I’ll probably be less active on this account, though you can still reach me here if you want. I’ll probably be more active on my WorTri blog, so go check it out if you want! ( @senkukogetsu ) or my personal blog ( @islaquinnblogs ) (and yes, I just set that blog up so what?). Anyways, I plan to keep this blog up so you guys can still enjoy my fics, but I won’t be active as much on it anymore. I hope you forgive me.

INTERPRETATION: Yuma and Hyuse Ch 210

This is going to be the most sincere and unironic World Trigger post I’ve ever made but this panel instantly floored me when I read it and I need to express my thoughts about it immediately. I feel like you can extrapolate a lot from this, not only about Yuma and Hyuse but also about the other agents and Border as a whole. My personal analysis on the Border combat system & it’s effects on the agents under the cut! Be warned, it's very long.

As we know, Border is structured so that agents can fight at minimum risk to their actual lives. Primarily because of trion bodies and bail out, but their fortress of a headquarters & the fact that they’re all volunteers play a role as well. Obviously from a meta perspective this is a world-building choice that allows the story to avoid major character death, as well as the anxiety and complicated emotions that would come from constantly being in physical danger, so that the plot can focus on cool fight strategies and fun casual interactions between the squads. But what I think is interesting about World Trigger is that while the story doesn't focus heavily on these themes, it doesn't avoid them altogether either.

We have seen in the story that, while combat bodies and bail out make it so that agents are not regularly in mortal danger on the field, all of these safeguards are not foolproof. The first humanoid neighbor invasion actually has a death toll as a result of Enedra attacking Border HQ directly, and the arc ends with Osamu risking his life and getting seriously injured in his real body (an action that is taken very seriously by other characters, particularly Jin). In the end, trion bodies are only a protection for a limited period of time, and bail out as an escape is only as secure as your base is. If Border HQ was ever seriously compromised the stakes would start to get very real, very quickly.

World Trigger clearly knows how to write complex emotional conflict -- it's done it with Chika, Yuma, and a few other characters over the course of the manga -- it just does it sparingly. World Trigger could use the trion combat system to completely skip over the concept of mortal danger, but it's chosen not to. I think that's really interesting, and for me it opens the door to speculation about the specific relationship that Border agents would have with physical injury and the concept of mortality, if they can constantly fight and get hurt at (as far as we’re aware) little risk of permanent damage.

This is where Hyuse and Yuma come into play. The relationship that they both have to combat is wildly different than that of most border agents, which is proven by their comments in this chapter and others. We know for a fact that Yuma has been fighting in neighborhood wars since he was a kid and that he has been in mortal peril himself on at least one occasion. Given what we know of the situation in the Neighborhood, I would guess that Hyuse has had similar experiences. Clearly they don’t have any illusions about being impervious to physical danger, and are used to strategizing with this fact in mind.

The only technology that Border has that neighbors as a whole don’t is bail out (and some neighbor groups do have bail out now). Triggers are neighbor technology and they use trion bodies in combat just like Border does. The main difference between Yuma and Hyuse’s experience with combat and Border agents’ is that trion-based conflict in the neighborhood is constant and ongoging, and Yuma and Hyuse presumably have not had the option to opt out and go home.

So given their backgrounds, it’s not surprising that Hyuse and Yuma would come to the conclusion that the squad switch-up could be testing the waters for the possibility that people will be lost on the mission. That doesn’t say a whole lot about them that we don’t already know. However, the fact that they were the only ones to offer up this possibility in my opinion does say a lot about everyone else.

The purpose of the squad switching (in relation to the mission only and not counting the “it’s so that we can make better B-rank squads” thing) seems relatively clear to me; the away mission is going to be a chaotic environment with constantly shifting factors, and the agents on it need to be able to deal with change. Most of the things said by characters in these chapters fits into this assumption pretty well. But part of that chaotic environment is going to be serious danger, and I don’t think that’s been talked about enough. They’re not operating on home turf, don’t have access to all of their technology, and could be entering into situations that are actively hostile. It is an entirely different combat environment to the scattered monster fights and tower-defense setup they’re used to back home. And the away mission ship isn’t going to hold a candle to Border HQ in terms of strength of defenses. Even if the away mission agents can bail out back to the ship (and according to Ashihara that technology has limitations), they could still be in danger regardless, and the away mission should be planned with this in mind.

So the fact that it’s highlighted that only Yuma and Hyuse have offered up the possibility of agents dying on the mission (if I’m going to get all comic-studies-y about it I’d love to note that not only are the panels of the agents who’s opinions are being discussed inherently dramatic in their composition, but at least on VIZ.com the Hyuse and Yuma one is on the other side of a page flip which holds suspense and makes the impact of their statements stronger), as well as their comments being marked as “a neighbor thing to say”, in my opinion confirms that the other squad members might not be considering physical danger as a real possibility. Personally, I think that makes a lot of sense. I think that it could be easy to forget that danger to your real body is possible if you are constantly fighting and getting injured in a fake body and can beam safely back to a base that rarely gets breached if that body gets destroyed. If this series had a slightly different tone, I would say that exploring the assumption made by characters that HQ is a safe haven from danger to your real body could make for an interesting plotline. And that's definitely an idea that could be touched on on the away mission as well, if the story wanted to take that route.

As a side note -- it also makes sense to me that those comments from Yuma & Hyuse would get some upvotes from higher ranking agents who have probably had experience in more dangerous situations (particularly Jin; I’m sure he understands the stakes of all of this quite well considering his side effect but that’s another post entirely).

Anyways, in the end this is mostly conjecture and personal interpretation on my part. Obviously WT is a shounen series about teens that remains overall pretty lighthearted, and serious stakes like death don’t get brought into the story very often and I respect that. But I think that the few situations in which we have had to grapple with more intense consequences for things have been really thought provoking, and the setup of WT creates a great jumping off point for a lot of interesting concepts imo.

I do think that there's probably a point to Yuma and Hyuse bringing up the concept of agents dying on the mission though -- World Trigger isn't really one to leave threads hanging and when concepts are focused on it's usually for a reason. And the story has certainly been willing to acknowledge heavier topics in the past even if they're not focused on directly in the main story, so I doubt that they're going to completely skip over it after this. But exactly what it's leading into I couldn't say. It's equally likely that the point of this was to emphasize how desensitized to conflict the neighbors are in comparison to Border, or both that and my previous theory. Regardless, we're probably going to be getting some more complex emotional arcs (à la Chika's mental block) from the characters once the theoretical away mission arc starts, or at least it seems that way.

Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts on this besides me, I would love to hear them! I might be talking to an audience of just myself with this post lol, but either way if you read it all I hope you found it interesting at least!

GOGOGOGO GO WATCH IT

So I’ve been asking myself why I like Kakizaki so much and I think I got it: I’m pretty sure he’s the mom friend

Because only he would pick Kage, Inukai and Taichi to be on his team and be completely calm :v

[ masterlist | seventeen | eighteen | ]

note: dim: unknown pov black: suna pov white: y/n pov.

fast facts;

fact #1; suna fans are split on opinions of suna’s “love life.” one side are those kinds of fans that want him to be with his ex or them, while others are fine with how he lives his life so long as he’s happy. suna doesn’t usually pay attention to fans, but this time he’s keeping a close eye on them to make sure they don’t find out who the girl he was with was. he doesn’t want y/n (or eito by extension) to get caught up in a scandal or drama.

fact #2; hana (ejp fangirl) and mayuko (adlers fangirl) met y/n after the adlers vs ejp game (I HAD A SMALL PORTION WRITTEN FOR IT BUT BC TUMBLR HATES ME FOR SOME REASON, IT DELETED THAT PART) and the trio hit it off rather well. they promised not to make a gc just because they didn’t think they’d use it too much, but after this, they’ll probably use it often. if drama continues, they want to keep making sure y/n is okay. that’s true friendship. 😭 mai might also be added, but we’ll see. 👀

✨) a/n: okay IM SO SORRY THIS IS LIKE A MONTH AFTER THE LAST UPDATE. i swear i lost motivation to write anything for so long...and work has become a TAD overwhelming considering i’ve picked up two jobs, one full time and the other part time but both equally taxing... i swear i’ll try to get better at posting.anyways-

the drama begins. buckle in guys, because this is about to get crazy. not really but also really, idk, ig we’ll just see. anyways, sorry my update schedule will just be random now. i haven’t even written the next parts like i did for the first arc. i think i was just extremely motivated then so i wrote the first arc in like three days. but then school started again and i got busy. but now i’m on summer break so i’ll be able to write more (maybe). ANYWAYS, overall not my best chapter, but itll get better i swear-

✨) summary; l/n y/n is a single mother living with her 5 year old son in sendai. suna rintarō is a professional volleyball player, the middle blocker for the ejp raijin. the msby black jackals vs the schweiden adlers is a game between two of japan’s v league division 1 teams that bring together many old rivals. y/n is dragged to the game by her cousin, tsukishima kei, claiming she needed to get out and do more than just work and take care of her child. reluctantly, she goes along with the usually salty blond — leaving her 5 year old with a babysitter — to watch the game between two of tsukishima’s ex-teammates. suna makes the executive decision that he will be going to the game to support his former teammate and setter, miya atsumu, with komori asking if he could accompany the middle blocker so he could support his cousin, suna readily agrees and they also invite washio to go with them, knowing he’d want to see bokuto as well. a chance encounter at the game of old reunions brings together two old friends and feelings start to re-emerge. follow y/n and suna as they get to know each other again, fend off any unwanted attention, and work through parenthood in “talk about surprises!”

blame it on oikawa

───────────── .°୭̥ ❁ ˎˊ˗

[ masterlist | one | two | ]

fast facts;

fact #1; y/n and iwa have had small conversations between games here and there, but nothing too memorable. they shared small moments, but if oikawa saw those moments, he’d get...not mad, per se, but annoyed? all over again. coUGH he was actually pretty upset when y/n told them she’d be going to shiratorizawa to be with her brother, but he understood. he didn’t like it tho because of ushijima. y/n and iwa never really talked too much after high school, though, as both their schools were pretty demanding and their time on their respective volleyball teams ate up all of their spare time, too.

fact #2: makki and mattsun probably have folders full of all their opponents pictures. why, you ask? because they’re obviously crazy, duh. they enjoy taking pictures of other players to use as either meme material or blackmai-

🧸) summary; after a horrible accident, tendō y/n, manager of the schweiden adlers, is hospitalized for a good few months. thankfully she has recovered in time for the summer 2021 olympics, or so they thought. y/n has lost her memories from her middle school and younger days, which also means she forgot about her love for a certain athletics trainer. with the olympics coming up, this will bring iwaizumi and y/n closer than they have been since middle school, so what might happen when you reunite the japan national teams athletic trainer and the manager? will a love reblossom, memories resurface, or will they both find new love with other people? find out in “remembering our love!”

hiya! i don’t know if this has been brought up before, but i noticed the pfps you used are white boys, and even if it wasn’t your intention (i hope it wasn’t LMAO) it kinda feels like you’re white washing them?

hiya! and it’s definitely not my intention, it’s mostly just for the hair (if you’re talking abt the smau’s??) and also the aesthetics (but mostly aesthetics). i just like the uniformity of one theme for the pfps in my smau’s, like opening act has shadows for their pfps, remembering our love also has shadows, but those shadows are darker than the ones in opening act.

in talk about surprises, i used those pfps because i wanted to do it for their hair colors, though ig that doesn’t completely translate when it comes to mai or y/n depending on the readers hair color?? but it’s also the aesthetics i’m after, which is a large part of why i used those pictures, bc theyre aesthetic. i’m really sorry if it happens to seem like i’m whitewashing, pls know that isn’t my intention at all.

also, if i’m being completely honest, i might change all my smau’s pfps to match the pfps i have set in remembering our love — though that’ll probably happen when i have more time + if i happen to find enough aesthetics for it.
