A big part of the Haikyuu rewatch is watching the characters interact and worrying that I fandomized their relationships too much in my head, particularly with the Karasuno first years because Hinata and Kags keep Yamaguchi and Tsukishima at arm’s length for so long. But then I remember. Oh wait the squad is literally Hinata’s phone background by the end of the story. You don’t put a picture of just some dudes in your after school club as your phone background.

#ane discovers character development takes time who wouldve thought #personally I think wthe change happens when Yachi and Tsuki start tutoring them #It’s around the time that there’s a shift in their bickering so that it’s more. ‘familial’ isnt the term I’m looking for but like #the kind of razzing you can only do with someone you know #Tsukishima for example starts bringing up specific things they studied together to dunk on Kageyama not remembering any of it #And another subtle thing I noticed- cause again I started going like ? did I fandomize my entire perception of Tadashi too much?#cause for the first season he doesn’t interact with ANYONE but Tsuki. Like practically not at all except to brag about Tsuki to others #But I have a sneaking suspicion that this starts to change around the time that he starts getting on the court more often as a pinch server #Probably because it gives him more courage #Cause I remember him having a lot to say in the Shiratorizawa match #and I remember him getting along with Yachi! So like I’m keeping an eye out for those changes #haikyuu!!#Also my favorite part about rewatching Haikyuu is how the reveal of Kag’s backstory really does affect. Your entire perception of him #Like I know its probably cause he’s my fav but I always feel so frustrated when people assume the worst of him and so sad that even Oikawa-#who knew him back when he was a very happy and shy kid- doesn’t even question why his personality had such a sudden shift #but then I realize that the only reason I’m so aware of these changed is because Kageyama has ‘opened up to me’ as an audience member befor #Furudate waited hundreds off chapters to tell us that he’s been grieving a loved onesince a little before the very first scene of the manga #So that it would feel like we earned it #Idk how to explain it like when you meet someone who’s hurting it takes a lot of effort and patience for them to tell you why #in the same way bc we stuck by the story for so long and watching Kageyama learn to be more open #we got the privilege of learning why he was closed off in the same place #but Kageyama didnt give anyone at his old school the chance to stick around- not Kindaichi or Kunimi or anyone #So it makes total sense #kageyama tobio #hinata shouyou #yamaguchi tadashi #tsukishima kei #yachi hitoka #karasuno first years #my post
