Match-Up Exchange

This is a match-up done for @frostfall-matches as part of a match-up exchange we agreed to! Hi hi again, I’m so excited to do another exchange with you :> I loved our last one and I got a notification that you posted mine but I haven’t read it yet so I’m excited to check it out once this is posted :D I hope you enjoy this match-up, you’ve been so friendly and understanding during both of these exchanges and I’ve had a lot of fun with them! You’re always welcome back onto my blog if you have any requests or anything :> Also apologies in advance for any spelling/grammar errors!

I’d Match You With:

Touya Todoroki (Dabi)! :)

Reasoning:

I bounced between a few characters at first when deciding your match, but eventually I settled on Touya for the best choice for you. He meets pretty much all of the qualities you desire in a partner, and I feel like the two of you are similar in a lot of ways, so you would easily understand one another and your needs would be pretty compatible in a relationship!

Headcanons About Your Relationship:

- Okay, so starting off I think your appearance would draw Touya in right off the bat. He sees you and he thinks you just look so good, he loves your aesthetic and style and just can’t help but stare. And he honestly doesn’t see much to lose, so he approaches you and openly admits how attractive he finds you. He won’t show it but internally he’s definitely stoked when you agree to go on a date with him lol

- And as the two of you get to know each other, it doesn’t take long to realize how similar you are. He fully respects your desire for independence because he’s the same way, he likes to handle shit himself and not be treated like he’s made of glass so he’s more than happy to give you space whenever you need it, and won’t ever try to butt into your issues unless you explicitly ask him for help and/or comfort

- Honestly in general he’s not the best with words, and while he’ trying to get better at expressing affection because he wants to be a good boyfriend for you and wants you to know that he cares, he definitely loves that physical touch and gift-giving are more your speed. Gifts are easy for him and he’s constantly bringing back things you like when he comes home (just don’t ask him if he spent his own money on them because the answer is only yes about 50% of the time, but the thought behind the gifts is clear!)

- And he’s probably not big on physical touch at first, it’s not something he’s had in a long time, but as your relationship goes on it becomes much more comfortable for him. And it’s a lot easier for him to give you a kiss when you walk through the door than it is for him to verbally express his inner feelings about you, so really, it’s a win-win <3 And I think he’d lowkey love it if you just come up to him and lay on it, it’s pretty soothing for him and he likes just being able to play with your hair as your head rests in his lap

- I could totally see him getting invested in a lot of your hobbies, too. For one I absolutely see him as a gamer, he may not be the most drawn to visual novels but RPGs and such are definitely up his alley and he’d have fun playing with you if possible! And if you asked him to join and watch you play through a visual novel, he may tease you about it but he’ll do it because at the end of the day he really does want to make you happy

- And he’s a big adrenaline junkie too! After what he went through when he was young, not a lot really scares him, and obviously his everyday life is dangerous as is given he lives with a bounty on his head. So he’s absolutely up to join you when you go ziplining or bungee jumping if you’re willing to let him tag along, and once you feel up for it and have the time, he’d happily set up a time for the two of you to go skydiving for the first time so you can cross that off your bucket list :>

- In general I feel like he’s the kind of boyfriend who wouldn’t mind getting into trouble with you, either on accident or on purpose lol. If something sounds fun to you then he’s down, he obviously doesn’t care less about any possible rules to be broken and he’s more than happy to help you sneak off if/when you guys end up getting caught :> He’s also definitely a gossip, he loves telling you about the interesting things going on in the league and listening to everything you have to say about the drama in your loved ones’ lives, and he’ll never fluster at a little banter or teasing from you as he can easily give it right back <3

- He’s definitely a big fan of stay-in dates, since it’s not exactly the easiest for him to be seen out in the world. But he’d be up for something like a picnic or camping, since it’s in a secluded area where no one’s gonna stumble on either of you. He feels a bit awkward being romantic in front of others anyways, but when the two of you are alone in the woods together, he’s not afraid of sneaking a cheeky kiss or flirting with you heavily just to make you tease him back

- He’s also a big fan of cooking together and then settling in front of the TV to eat and watch one of your guys’ favorite shows. I honestly don’t think Touya was much of a cook before you guys met, he definitely seems like the kind of guy who lived off of instant noodles and frozen meals when he was alone. But cooking with you actually makes it interesting, and it feels more worth his time when the food is feeding both of you rather than just being for him. Plus he knows that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel where he can snuggle up with you on the couch and binge one of your favorite shows together at the end of it, so he’s much more open to cooking once you’re there to do it with him

- He’d definitely be down to help you dye your hair, too! Pre-big TV reveal, he’ll sometimes ask you to help with touch-ups for his hair, so if you want his help changing the color he’s willing to join in, and has the experience to actually do a good job too! He doesn’t mind the way his skin ends up dyed bright colors for days afterwards, though he will tease you for your neon hairline every once in a while until the dye on your own skin fades away

- Not having much relationship experience isn’t really a problem for Touya, because he also has none to go off of. The two of you are just figuring out how a relationship works together, learning as you go and finding a rhythm that works for the two of you. There may be moments where you both stumble, struggling with the vulnerability that a relationship brings, but you’re so similar and so drawn to each other that you’re always able to work through things and come to an understanding together in the end <3

- Bonus: He thinks both your quirk and your villain name are SO FUCKING COOL omg he loves knowing that you’re able to help him break free of restraints in a sticky situation, he’s definitely not shy to admit that you’re hot shit and a huge asset whenever he’s talking with the League about you

Second Choice:

I also considered Shoto (what can I say, you just seem to match well with the Todorokis lol) and Shinsou when deciding your match! I feel that they would both be drawn to you and your personality, and they also both have many of the qualities that you look for in a match. They're both more independent people that would be into a lot of your hobbies, and both very heavy on physical touch imo (and gifts in Shoto's case too!) When I really thought about it, though, you and Touya just fit together so perfectly, so while I still think these two could be great matches to you he just seemed to match you so perfectly!

Song For Your Relationship:

About Love by Marina <3

[shxtodxroki]

AAAA Noya! <3<3<3 I love him so much he was actually the first boy in Haikyuu that really caught my eye when I watched it the first time, so it's exciting to be matched with him hehe :>

Him being a bit nervous and awkward during our first meeting would be SO cute hehe the thought of making an outgoing person shy like that is so endearing <3 And He's so sweet and supportive too! It doesn't matter to me how creative my partner is as long as they're supportive of my stuff and he totally would be <3 And of course I'd reciprocate and come to all his games and cheer for him even though I'm not much of a sports person :>

I think the point about how my calmness and his hyperness work together well is so true as well honestly, I've always been able to be close to more outgoing people since they help push me out of my comfort zone a bit and are easy to be comfortable around, and I'd be able to reign him in when he got too hyper as well :>

Someone who can be super expressive and emotional with me is perfect lol, if I'm not the only one crying at a sad scene in a movie I feel a bit less silly about it so I'd love that <3 And someone who's willing to show me off in the way you describe is my literal DREAM omg where can I find someone like that, and who cherishes my gifts too I'm sobbing

And I totally see why you'd think of Daichi too :> I've gotten him before and he's another one I was interested in from early on hehe :D Both of these match-ups were so so lovely and you're truly an amazing writer, thank you for doing this exchange with me! I will have your match-ups out ASAP as well and hope you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed these :)

[ matchmaking... ]

@shxtodxroki : [ match report ready ]

your match is…

✦ Nishinoya Yu

-> As boisterous and friendly as he normally is, he completely clams up the first few times he tries talking to you! He can’t help it - talking to cute girls, especially if he doesn’t know them, causes him to just freeze up (and then he’s mentally kicking himself for looking and sounding stupid). The first coherent thing out of his mouth (immediately after a greeting) is a compliment on your bright pink hair - it totally caught his eye, and he loves how the color looks on you and how it contrasts nicely with your green eyes. It does make him feel a little bit better that you also seem to be struggling to move the awkward, stilted conversation forward, though. Of course, this is all temporary - both you and Noya are friendly with a knack for connecting with others; the initial awkwardness will dissipate soon enough, and then the two of you will be yapping all the time.

-> For all your overthinking and worrying over problems big and small, Nishinoya brings a straightforward, simplistic approach to any concerns you might have. For him, if it’s out of his control or if it’s something that ultimately isn’t going to bring about great consequences, he simply makes it a point to not worry about it. Sure, he has his worries just like everyone else does, but as long as he does all that he can and faces his issues head-on, he has no choice but to see how it all plays out. Noya, being close friends with Asahi, has seen many times the stress and anxiety that comes with overthinking. He lets you vent as much as you need - and though he doesn’t have any magic solutions to your worries, he tries to remind you to just focus on the here and now, and to let go when a situation is truly out of your control.

-> Noya isn’t the most creatively-inclined, but he’s your biggest hype man. It doesn’t matter if whatever project you’re working on is in the planning stage, halfway done, or completely finished - he loves to see it, and always has supportive, genuine compliments. And, really, all that matters to him is that you have an outlet where you can express and enjoy yourself. Volleyball is his passion (obviously, given the amount of blood, sweat, and tears he’s poured into practicing and becoming skilled) and he would prefer it if his partner also had something they were passionate about, something they loved doing on a regular basis. It’s easy for him to relate to someone like that, even if his area of interest is different from yours. Besides, whatever is important to you is important to him by extension. He wants to support you (and expects that you will also support him), which includes learning all about all the different types of art you engage in.

-> Your patience and reserved nature tempers Noya’s more excitable, impulsive one. He can get pretty fired up - in both a good way and a bad way. Yes, he’s quick to become eager and energetic, but he has a pretty quick temper on him as well. (On the plus side, Noya is more than willing to help you stand up for yourself, or even step in and handle the conflict for you… though he might not solve it very peacefully). There are a lot of spikes in his emotions - the relationship would work best if his partner understands that expressive is a core part of who he is, and they’re willing to extend grace to both his positive emotions and his negative emotions. Thankfully, Noya doesn’t mind if your energy doesn’t match his 100% - and really, he’s liable to get carried away around people who feed off his energy and throw it right back. Your quiet enthusiasm is still just as apparent to him, and he just claims that he has more than enough loud energy for the both of you.

-> And ultimately, the two of you aren’t so dissimilar in the way that you’re both very emotional, expressive people. Each of you have your own forms of expression, prone to different moods, but your emotionality is a strong bonding point for you two. You’re easily moved to tears, be it from happiness, sorrow, frustration - and it’s something that Noya finds surprisingly endearing. Funnily enough, he never considered himself much of a crier… Until he got together with you. He can’t help the misty eyes he gets when the two of you are sharing a particularly tender, heartwarming moment together, or the tears burning his eyes when something has upset you to the point of tears, his heart aching for you. If he notices your eyes tearing up while the two of you are watching a heartbreakingly sad scene in a movie, he pleads with you. “I swear! If you cry, I’m going to start crying!”

-> He’s not sure how to react to your silly, lame jokes that you like to crack here and there. Perhaps it just depends on what exactly the lame joke is. Sometimes you catch him off guard and he’s cackling at your wit. Other times, he scrunches up his nose at the ridiculous pun that just came out of your mouth (he claims he hates puns and dad humor, but he just doesn’t want to be seen thinking such dorky humor is actually funny). Well, you’re probably having fun regardless, even in light of his more lukewarm reactions to your humor. And really, he wouldn’t have it any other way. Noya loves your humor, and he likes being silly in turn, adoring your smile and laugh. He’s big on exaggerations - exclamations, big reactions, intense expressions on his cute face.

-> Both in light of your own personal preference, and how excitable Noya is, movie nights are best done at home. You love how it’s much more cozy and personal compared to a theater, and there’s less pressure to be quiet and respectful of the dozens of others who may be watching the same film (especially considering Tanaka once mentioned how noisy and rambunctious Noya gets when watching action films…) Noya is often in charge of buying and prepping the snacks while you get to pick the movie and set up the living room or bedroom. Regardless where the two of you set up, he insists on snuggling… though, he’s very much the type to squirm, tense up, and scoot to the edge of his seat during suspenseful scenes. You definitely get him to branch out in terms of genre - though, he’d really rather not watch any more horror films… he will politely ask you to spare him.

-> Luckily for you, Nishinoya is very open about his adoration and affection for you. And he’s not shy about it at all (until you do something especially cute - such as sneaking up behind him and wrapping your arms around his shoulders in a tight hug, for example - and he malfunctions for a moment). He’s more than happy to be the one to cuddle up to you in bed, or beckon you over when he’s hanging out on the couch watching something. Noya is very sweet when verbally expressing his affection for you, too, using little nicknames, complimenting you, saying how lucky he is that you’re in his life… You won’t even get the chance to doubt his feelings for you! Initially, he pouted a bit when you would hesitate to initiate any sort of physical affection with him, but he’s quick to understand that it’s because it makes you shy, rather than the possibility that you don’t like him enough to allow physical contact.

-> He adores the gifts you get him - and his reactions are always the best! He gets so excited to see what you got him if you’re teasing the fact that you have something for him but that it’s a surprise. Tasty snacks and beverages are always exciting (and very much appreciated when you bring him something after he’s done with practice!), little knick-knacks are proudly displayed, more heartfelt gifts tucked away safely so he can look at them intermittently, his heart warming because each gift is a sign of your love for him. He likes to reciprocate the gifts when he can, though he often feels a bit clueless about what to get you - sure, he knows what you like, but what if you’re not in the mood for your favorite dessert, or what if you already have an overstock of paints? But, as he graduates and decides to travel instead of continuing professionally with volleyball, he gets really good at gifting you with thoughtful, endearing souvenirs (regardless if you’re on that particular trip with him or not).

runner up…

✦ Sawamura Daichi

-> Daichi is mature, level-headed, and happy to be your rock, providing support whenever you might need it (and even when you don’t). It would be a calm, steady relationship, the type that blooms slowly and makes you feel warm and loved from head to toe. The type of relationship that feels like coming home, a deep sense of comfort settling in your chest. He’s great at listening and communicating, and he’d be quite the conversation partner when you want to share whatever new topics you’ve been learning about. He’s got a good head on his shoulders and is skilled at looking at things from multiple perspectives, and he finds it to be quite the fun exercise to go back and forth with you about nuanced, difficult topics. Daichi is also a very good choice for someone who might struggle with anxiety and overthinking - he’s very good at providing comfort, knowing just what to say to soothe some of your worries while acknowledging that you can’t always help how your brain never quite shuts off. Stable as he is, however, your relationship with him would lack the dynamism and potential for growth that would be present with Nishinoya. It’s simply a different vibe, a different pace, but still just as enjoyable.

Match-Up Exchange

These are some match-ups done for @frostfall-matches as part of a match-up exchange we agreed to! Thank you again for agreeing to this exchange with me, I absolutely loved the match-ups you did for me so I hope you will enjoy these in return :D Please let me know what you think if you get a chance, you were so kind throughout this whole exchange and feel free to hop back over to my blog with any requests you may have or if you just wanna chat in the future :] Also apologies for any typos or spelling mistakes in this as it hasn't been proofread!

For Jujutsu Kaisen, I’d Match You With:

Suguru Geto! :)

Reasoning:

This is the fastest I’ve ever made my mind up on a match for a match-up honestly before I even finished reading your ask I got the vibe that you and Suguru would fit perfectly together, reading your description of yourself you just seemed like the kind of person he’d admire and absolutely adore. And when I read further and saw your description of your type and the kind of partner you want/things you don’t want in a partner, that just cemented my decision and I knew Suguru would be perfect for you because he just meets all of those qualities to a t in my mind <3

Headcanons About Your Relationship:

- Starting off, Suguru’s definitely the one to approach you first, and he doesn’t mind being persistent and moving the relationship at your pace, from a developing friendship into a romantic relationship. He thinks you’re stunning which is why he approaches you in the first place, and though you’re not quick to open up, something just… draws him to you. He feels a connection, and can already see that the two of you are quite similar in several ways, so he continues to seek you out and pursue you (without being too pushy or crossing boundaries, of course) as your relationship develops and you grow more comfortable around him over time. He’s patient, and willing to wait until you feel the same commection with him that he does to you before making any major moves

- As mentioned above, Suguru would think you’re absolutely stunning. As someone with a few piercings himself (and he often thinks about potentially getting more at some point) he adores all of your piercings, and he’s particularly partial to the navel piercing when he gets the chance to see it as he loves how it looks on you and is considering one for himself as well :) He also loves how much you change your hair, there’s never been a single cut or color that he thought didn’t look amazing on you, he loves them all and really enjoys if you’ll let him help you in some way when you dye it fun colors when you do it at home :> He’s very skilled at dyeing hair so you’re in good hands, I promise! 

- I feel like he’d also really enjoy your more creative hobbies. He loves watching you drawing or painting, and he often asks you questions when he notices differences in how you use each of the mediums. He also loves your passion for DIYing and home decor, as he’s a very aesthetic person and loves being able to live in a beautiful, personalized house with his favorite person. He’s definitely especially partial to your writing, though. He’s very interested in all types of literature, and though he knows you can be closed off and take a while to open up (and this, may not be open to sharing your writing with him, at least for a while) he would absolutely love to read your writing someday if you ever feel open to sharing. And if you do, he gives you such thoughtful commentary and praise on the writing you do share, he really takes his time reading through every word and taking it all in as he really values you trusting him with your writing and creativity like this

- The fact that you don’t particularly like cooking doesn’t bother him at all, as he’s more than happy to take on the lion’s share of the cooking in your relationship if/when you two end up spending most of your time together or moving in together. Suguru, in my opinion at least, would definitely be quite a good cook, and he loves making food from different regions or cultures and hearing your thoughts on his recipes. He also keeps track of favorite recipes of yours, and brings them out if you ever decide to confide in him that you’re having a hard time (as he knows you don’t typically like being vulnerable in that way), or if you have an anniversary or holiday celebration coming up. And in return, he’s happy to enjoy the fruits of your labor whenever you bake, he really enjoys getting to have a sweet treat from you after a nice meal from him

- Though he may seem calm and composed on the outside, I feel like he’d really enjoy participating in some of your more thrill-seeking activities with you every now and then. He starts off with mild activities, like asking if he can join you on a somewhat similar hike, but eventually advances into other, more serious risk-taking activities with you. Though he is typically a more careful and cautious person, sometimes he gets overwhelmed if life feels too monotonous or organized for him, and that boost of adrenaline is something he enjoys joining you in from time to time even if he doesn’t go with you on every single adventure of yours

- I think skin-care and hair-care are interests of yours that Suguru would definitely enjoy trying with you. He enjoys taking care of himself and his appearance (he knows he’s a very pretty man), and he also enjoys getting to stay up late into the night and enjoy this time where things feel most relaxed and peaceful with you. He would be more than willing to purchase expensive products, those fluffy hairbands to hold back your hair, fancy face and/or hair masks, etc. for both of you, he enjoys going all out when you two have self-care evenings. It’s especially a favorite occasion of his when he finds himself starting to struggle and spiral mentally, as it helps ground him and make him feel connected with you once more. And he especially loves it if you play with and/or comb through his hair, it melts away all his stress instantly and just feels like pure heaven to him <3

- Sometimes, when you’re open to it, I think he’d really enjoy studying with you, as he finds both of your majors and minors absolutely fascinating. He’d pick up a delicious pastry for each of you and two cups of chai on his way over to your house, and just quietly watch and absorb what he can while you study. Psychology and medieval history both particularly draw him in, and while he usually lets you study independently and does his best not to interrupt you as he observes and learns the information alongside you, he’s more than happy to help you study by quizzing you or using flashcards or however else you’d like him to help if you ask for his assistance. It even occasionally leads to impromptu philosophical discussions when one or both of you gets particularly enthralled in one of the topics you’re studying and you have some time to spare

- Suguru’s also definitely not someone who’s overly jealous or possessive, so I believe the two of you would work well in that way. The way you two are able to banter with one another and the way that he feels secure both in himself thanks to his self-sufficiency and in your relationship makes it so that he feels no need to be jealous. He knows you, he knows you’re loyal to him, and he knows that you don’t often open up to people and that he’s one of the people who you’ve opened up to the most. So because of this I don’t think he’d really ever get jealous or possessive, he trusts you and fully respects your autonomy and ability to make your own choices.

- Suguru is absolutely a cat person, I think you both would be fully in agreement on that. You’re both similar to cats in many ways, and I think that once both of you were ready to move in with each other and felt that you were able to commit to the shared commitment of getting a pet and all the responsibilities it entails, he’d absolutely love to get a cat with you. He’s partial to black cats in particular, though if you’d prefer a different kind of cat, he doesn’t feel a need to argue. And he’d definitely do his share of the work when owning the cat, he doesn’t shy away from his responsibilities and always makes sure that it’s fully taken care of

- In general, I think he’d also really enjoy getting to see your more playful and mischievous side. He tends to gravitate towards those sorts of people anyways, and he can easily tease you back and keep that energy going in return. And he doesn’t mind that you can sometimes be a bit of a troublemaker either, in fact, occasionally he finds himself involved in your schemes as he can be a bit mischievous himself when he’s in a particular mood. It’s easy for the two of you to laugh the situation off after the fact, though, and with his luck you always manage to escape with minimal backlash, but he enjoys those moments where he feels like he can just let loose and have fun with you without being so concerned about other people or what they think <3

Second Choice:

Honestly Suguru felt like such a perfect choice for you that I didn’t even really have anyone else in mind while deciding or writing your match-up, but if I had to choose someone else and he wasn’t an option, I think I’d probably go with either Nanami or Sukuna. Neither of them feel quite as fitting as Suguru does, and I think Nanami would probably fit a little better than Sukuna overall, but I feel that both of them could meet most if not all of your described needs in a relationship and partner and would still be able to fit well with you overall. Suguru would just be able to understand you in a unique way I feel, and he’s more independent and also more teasing and humorous than the other two, which is part of why he felt like the best pick overall.

Song For Your Relationship:

Lucky People by Waterparks <3

For Haikyuu, I’d Match You With:

Hajime Iwaizumi! :)

Reasoning:

This one I went back and forth on a bit, but when I thought about Iwaizumi in particular, I realized that I think he also meets a lot of your ideals and needs in a partner/relationship and would fit very well with you and your personality. Though he may not totally fit your physical type, he’s obviously still very handsome and as you mentioned personality came first for you over looks, his personality seemed to be like a pretty perfect fit with yours and I think the two of you would make a very good, healthy couple :)

Headcanons About Your Relationship:

- I think Iwa may feel a bit nervous about initiating conversation at first if you don’t seem very interested in him, but he grows more comfortable in time and is willing to pursue you and give you time to decide that he’s the one you want to be with. He’s not… shy, per se, he’s just a bit hesitant to risk pushing your boundaries and risk making you uncomfortable as the last thing he wants is to seem pushy or disrespectful. So it takes some time for him to feel out how you feel and if you’re comfortable around him as he slowly starts spending more time with you and eventually introducing romantic intentions into the mix, but when he’s able to test the waters and see you slowly open up to him, he grows more comfortable in time and doesn’t mind taking his time in pursuing you in order to give you time to feel comfortable in this new relationship

- He would also fully be respectful of your desire for some independence and self-sufficiency within your relationship, and I believe he’s also a person who deeply values still being able to be independent and himself even when in a relationship with someone. He absolutely loves and adores you, but he also acknowledges that that doesn’t mean you two have to do everything together or share all the same interests or agree on every small thing. He never wants to undermine you or make it seem like he doesn’t respect your autonomy, so even though he does enjoy acts of service and helping you, he typically waits for you to ask him before assisting, or asks if you’d like help on something (and respects your answer either way) if you seem to be struggling, because he wants to be a supportive partner while still respecting your boundaries

- I also think that Hajime would really like going on hikes with you! He’s not particularly interested in some of the thrill-seeking activities you do (and he thinks it’s good for both of you to have some hobbies you’re able to enjoy on your own) but he absolutely really enjoys hiking with you. He’s obviously super athletic and it’s a great work-out for him, plus hiking can be a really beautiful, scenic and even peaceful date if it’s done right and the right hiking path is chosen

- I think one of his love languages would also be physical touch, so the two of you work really well together in that aspect. He’s not super clingy or hanging on to you all the time or anything, both of you would prefer having some space sometimes. But he enjoys casual touches, he really likes holding your hand or absently running his fingers through your hair while watching a movie together or something. And whenever you’re both in the mood, he really enjoys holding you in his arms, and he’s a very warm, cozy cuddle partner so cuddles are super relaxing for both of you when you’re feeling up to it <3 

- He’s also great at giving gifts! He knows you’re not overly big on sentimentality, so instead, he’s the kind of boyfriend who’d keep a list of things you like and/or have mentioned wanting, and uses this list for inspiration for anniversaries, holidays, or times when he just feels like getting you a gift to show his love

- Honestly I can also see him being the type of person to enjoy taking care of plants with you, if/when you end up living together. His schedule as an athletic trainer can be busy and rigorous at times, so he’s a bit on the fence when it comes to committing to a pet or something similar as he worries that he may not have the time or energy needed to give the animal the life it deserves at this stage in his life. Plants, however, require less care, so he feels more capable of taking on the required responsibilities with you beside him, and he feels a bit of pride whenever one of the plants you two have been cultivating grows into something beautiful

- I feel like video games may also be a hobby of yours he really enjoys joining you in from time to time. It works pretty perfectly for the two of you, as you can easily game by yourself and have plenty of fun when the two of you aren’t physically together or just want some time alone, but it’s also easy to jump in together and find something to play when you’re both in the mood. He doesn’t have a whole lot of free time, but oftentimes on days you both have off, you enjoy just having lazy days relaxing together on the couch in your pajamas and picking out a video game to try out together

- I feel like the two of you would also have similar ways of managing your emotions. He’s also the kind of person who generally prefers to work through his issues himself and is able to feel his feelings and let them go without bottling them up or needing to share most of the time, and he only opens up when he feels like there’s an issue in the relationship that needs to be considered or when he’s really struggling. And he never presses you to share how you’re feeling during hard times either, he understands that you have your own coping mechanisms and ways to work through your feelings. He just makes it known that he’s always available and not going to judge if you do decide to open up about something that’s bothering you, either with physical affection/comfort or just a listening ear

- I think he’d also find you very beautiful as well :> He loves your more alternative style, from your piercings to the many different hair colors and styles you manage to rock (which he always compliments whenever you decide to switch things up) to your fishnets and combat boots. He’s not possessive at all, though he does enjoy the opportunity to show you off and is proud to call you his when you go out together or when you’re with him and his friends, because he genuinely thinks you’re gorgeous and that your style is one of the coolest things he’s ever seen

- I also think he’d really enjoy your sense of humor :D He really enjoys getting to watch you slowly open up and share that side of yourself with him as you grow more comfortable in your relationship, and your witty and offbeat humor almost always gets a laugh out of him as he has a pretty similar sense of humor. And the puns in particular are a guilty pleasure of his, he’d never admit it to anyone aside from you as he finds it pretty ridiculous but puns often crack him up and he likes to make some of his own with you from time to time, it’s his way of letting go a bit every now and then :)

Second Choice:

In contrast to the last match-up, I considered several different characters before settling on one for you this time. Kenma, Akaashi, and Suna were all considerations in my mind. However, none of them felt quite right for one reason or another. I feel like Kenma may be a bit un-ambitious or possibly clingy for your tases, and Suna similarly felt like he may not have as big of a drive or ambition for new experiences (though they do both meet a lot of your other desired qualities as well). Akaashi felt like a pretty close fit as well, but in the end, I simply felt that Iwaizumi fit your desires for a partner better and would be the kind of boyfriend who would work very well with you, moreso than all the other possible characters I considered.

Omg Yuji! What a little cutie, I kind of expected this one so I could see why you'd choose him for my match :> I love it when someone can carry a conversation when I'm feeling shy and when people get all animated while they talk, that part was so cute!

And the movie dates! Someone who actually enjoys horror movies with me would be a dream lol and having someone to watch the boring or lame movies with would definitely make it much more tolerable than watching them alone :] And I would ABSOLUTELY wear anything he got for me all the time lol, I love showing people how much I use and enjoy gifts they got me so anything he got I'd wear all the time :)

He really is such a sweetheart, having someone so willing to comfort me and just be there for me would be so so nice :> But of course not to his own detriment, and knowing how much that boy has been through, of course I'd be more than willing to return the favor and provide him that same comfort and safety <3

Also THE GOJO MENTION OMG he's my fav and while I know realistically that we may not work the best together given some of the reasoning you explained (like him not always being the most emotionally available lol) it felt so validating to see him included in here hehe :> Thank you so so much for this match-up, it was absolutely adorable and I felt like you really understood me and included such relevant stuff just from the ask I sent you :D

@shxtodxroki : [ match report ready ]

your match is…

✦ Itadori Yuji

-> Yuji is pleasant and easygoing, making it easy to talk to him and open up at your own pace. Although even he acknowledges that he can be a bit dense and dumb sometimes, he is surprisingly astute and intuitive when it comes to others. So, even though you initially come off as awkward and shy, Yuji takes it in stride. Even if he’s more the social type himself, he’s very well aware that not everyone takes to strangers very well. If you find it difficult to initiate the first few conversations with him, he has no qualms kicking it off himself. He doesn’t press you too hard to continue chatting if you’re not comfortable; he has plenty he can yap about. And yet, it probably doesn’t take you long to settle into a comfortable rhythm with his conversations. Yes, he can talk a lot - and sometimes he gets very animated - but he leaves plenty of room for you to chime in.

-> He loves to hear about your current interests or whatever topic you’ve recently delved into. Does he understand everything you’re trying to explain? Probably not, especially considering there are many topics where he doesn’t have the same background knowledge as you before you start discussing the topic, but he’s all ears regardless! He can actually keep up pretty well if you happen to be the type to switch between topics and ideas quickly, though, even if he doesn’t have all the information. When he learns you’re thinking of becoming a teacher in the future, it all suddenly clicks for him - and he thinks it’d be a good fit for you! You’re patient, thorough, good at explaining things and simplifying concepts when need be. It’s clear that you have a passion for learning, a passion for sharing knowledge with others and connecting with them that way, and he hopes that you’re able to get where you want to go in the future.

-> Movie dates are frequent! And it’s a good thing you two have similar tastes. Whenever the latest horror movie comes out that seems interesting to at least one of you (there have definitely been times where either you or Yuji think the premise of a particular movie is lame… but you’ll watch it together anyways), you guys immediately make plans to watch it, whether it be in theaters or at home. Yuji typically prefers hitting the theaters, loving the huge screens, the easy access to snacks, and the overall atmosphere - but he is more than happy to snuggle up with you and stream a movie from the comfort of home, too. Thankfully, he also responds well to the fact that you like to discuss the goings-on of the film while you’re watching it, loving your real-time reactions and thoughts. He loves coming up with crazy theories about how a movie’s going to end, especially when it comes to mysteries.

-> Yuji loves the variety you incorporate into your fashion. Sure, you have a preferred style, often dressing in cute, feminine clothes with soft colors, but you’re not afraid to experiment and switch up styles here and there. Yuji thinks your usual style is just precious (and he’s absolutely smitten with how cute you look), but he also gets really excited on days where you change things up! He likes being kept on his toes, even when it’s a seemingly small thing like personal style. Considering you’re flexible with your fashion, he actually quite likes picking up the occasional piece when he’s out and about (or dragged out shopping by Nobara) and seeing how you react to it. He always gets the cheesiest grin on his face when you coordinate an outfit with something he got for you.

-> He is so incredibly caring and would do practically anything for you. Hell, he literally was ready to sacrifice himself for Megumi’s sake the first time they met. Needless to say, Yuji would be a very devoted, sweet boyfriend. He seems the type to lean into physical touch often, absolutely loving to pull you into tight hugs and peppering chaste kisses on your cheeks or forehead. However, he often performs acts of service, wanting your day to run a little bit smoother. Yuji is your man if you have any errands that need to be run, if something isn’t working quite right in your place, or if you’re simply too exhausted to cook dinner that night. Careful, though; he is absolutely the type to run himself into the ground for someone he loves. Empathetic and observant as you are, you’re very firm on the fact that he doesn’t need to drop everything just to help you out, that he needs to take care of himself, too.

-> Yuji is very mentally resilient, and he naturally becomes your rock in times of stress. Again, if he has the ability to support you in any way, he will - and in cases like this… let him provide you with some comfort. He doesn’t think any less of you because of your anxiety and tendency to overthink. He can’t truthfully say that he knows exactly what you’re going through, but the important thing is that this is something you struggle with regularly and he can at least extend sympathy and support to you. All that being said, though… During the times where grief and despair are ready to swallow him up because the life of a jujutsu sorcerer is cruel and difficult for anyone with a heart, he appreciates the comfort and reassurance you provide him more than you know. And really, how could he not be comforted by someone like you? You’re kind, empathetic, more than happy to lend an ear, not judging him for his actions, his reactions, everything he’s gone through.

-> Yuji is your knight in shining armor when it comes to bugs! They really don’t bother him in the slightest, and he has no issues handling them with his bare hands (though the mere idea has your skin crawling). He is more the type to simply toss them outside rather than outright kill them, though, and while he doesn’t outright say anything, he hopes whatever critter he tossed out doesn’t end up making it’s way back inside… Sometimes, he will try to reason with you (“they’re just bugs - most of them are harmless!” or “that spider’s just hanging out on his web up in the corner, he’s not bothering anyone”) but thankfully he has enough sense not to approach you with a bug in his hand. He did that once and he’s never forgotten the glare you sent his way at that time.

-> He treasures each and every single gift you get him. Yuji loves having little mementos, physical reminders of you, of your affection for him, of all the little moments you’ve shared together. He never really considered himself someone who cared too terribly much about material items, feeling that the experience and memories themselves were more important, but he would never willingly part with anything you’ve given him. When you gift him with something, he gets this lovesick smile on his face and can’t help but squeeze you tightly to him, thanking you. But if you get him something that he knows is spendy, he’ll scold you just a little. He loves the gift, of course, but you don’t need to spend so much on him! In return for your gifts, he will try and find an item for you to add to one of your many collections - he knows your little collections hold a lot of sentimental value and fill your days with joy, so he feels it’s quite a fitting way to reciprocate, considering he is now growing a collection of your presents for him.

runner up…

✦ Gojo Satoru

-> Gojo has the potential to be an absolutely amazing partner - confident, bold, and affectionate, the type that would spoil and smother his partner with love if they let him. He’s at once ambitious while also remaining levelheaded enough to understand what’s realistically possible. Gojo knows how to have fun and enjoys being a bit silly and dramatic; he’d absolutely be a fun partner to have around, making sure every day was fun and exciting. Still, he may be a bit too emotionally unavailable at times, the weight of sorcerer society too heavy on his shoulders. No one can truly step into his shoes and really understand the pressure and expectations placed on him since he was a child. There are times where he may feel like he shouldn’t drag a partner into his world to stand by his side, and times where he’s simply just too busy. Some people can handle that without much issue, but it can be difficult for someone who has a more anxious attachment style. It could work, but there would likely be some level of anxiousness and grief that would seep into the seams of the relationship.
