#Kageyama backstory

[axel-tiredstudent]

Can't fall asleep cause my brain won't stop thinking about how good Haikyuu is

[tenowls]

if you get really good... i promise you... somebody even better will come and find you.

redraw of some of THE panels of all time

[nashnathan]

I've been rewatching Fairy Tail the anime for a few months, and I noticed the tierlist I made in september 2023 is OUTRAGEOUS.

So, I decided to keep a new updated tierlist as the episodes go by. Here's how's it going:

(Episode 39/I have no idea)

Some characters are there already because I'm pretty sure about them still. (Just so you know, I watched FT last time in 2020)

If it's so long now I can't imagine what it will be like in the future 💀

Farwell and see ya soon!

MP100 Fallout AU

I wrote down some headcanons for this AU (& others) in February & well, come April there's suddenly a Fallout TV series? (& there are Magic the Gathering Fallout cards since earlier this year, too??) Well Fallout brainrot is revived, here's long-ass worldbuilding/background ramblings.

Vault Tec & Claw

Claw existed before the Great War as an organization researching psychic abilities; though in this universe powers initially don't nearly reach the levels of MP100 canon

Toichiro & his wife start working with Vault Tec overseas & are assigned Vault 100, that is just being constructed

They are to conduct experiments with FEV-variants on promising psychics to try & enhance their abilities by new means the vaults offer in the future

Mob is born in 2058

Several years later Toichiro starts to "collect" mostly young espers to populate the vault with; of course the plan of direct & experimentation with yet unknown risks is left out

Parents of the kids he's interested in are offered contracts that promise a safe place for them to survive with the downside of being taken away to 'monitor', but the desperation over the worsening state of the world makes it easy to agree

The Kageyamas even beg for them to take both their sons, not only the one with some innate abilities - and succeed

Toichiro's wife leaves him over the increasingly unethical plans for the vault, but to her dismay their own son stays with his father

Vault Occupancy

In 2072 the contracts take effect & Vault 100 is populated and sealed (with mostly kids from JP & USA families)

Toichiro & the Ultimate 5 are in charge and oversee the vault and experiments

For about two years the vault is operated with its young residents living a pretty standard vault life, they have restricted permission to be in contact with their families

As the experiments so far show no effect & the young population is getting harder to control, the decision is made to make them enter cryosleep early & continue with different lines of experimentation while in this state

In 2074 all residents except the six in charge enter cryosleep, including Toichiro's own son

Correspondence with parents of the kids is fabricated from here on

Many of the kids die in the next few years while supplemented with barely tested substances to increase their affinities

In 2077 on the day of the Great War, Toichiro & the Ultimate 5 enter cryosleep themselves, joining their own experiments as subjects now that the fatality rates have reached 0 & brain scans look promising

They set their own systems to awake at a scheduled point in the future

Post-Apocalypse

It goes as planned; the 6 of them wake up & find themselves enhanced with never before seen psychic powers, marking their final experiments a success

Vault 100 is unsealed & Toichiro wakes only Sho from the remaining children, to take him with him

Sho is initially too weak to fight back but doesn't take to it kindly; as soon as he is able he goes back

He wakes Ritsu first, of course

Together they start waking the remaining kids - some of them, including Ritsu, don't seem to see any changes in their abilities, several of them are incredibly disoriented

However, Mob's cryopod malfunctions and won't release him - they could break it, but can't guarantee his survival should they forcibly remove him

They can only try to look for someone to help, so even if Ritsu has a hard time leaving he and Sho start their wasteland journey with that mission, while Teru stays back to watch over the others and Mob

Unfortunately Toichirou comes back in search of Sho and they are forced to flee, leaving Mob unattended

Reigen & Mob

Not too long after everyone's gone, Reigen instead finds the vault - it looks newly opened which could promise a fortune (& he isn't so wrong about that)

Despite, or because, not knowing what he's doing, he ends up accidentally releasing the single kid left

Mob is fine but overwhelmed & immediately starts frantically looking for Ritsu

Reigen's words don't get through to Mob - he gets some reaction when he talks to him in Japanese, but ultimate can just follow while Mob scours the whole vault

Soon he gets a showcase of Mob's new powers & in their strongest form, while Mob reaches 100% despair

In the explosion, most of the vault is destroyed

Reigen is shocked but fascinated and he stays with Mob and calms him

His initial plan to bring the kid somewhere safe asap change with the idea of taking him with him to profit from these powers - Reigen himself is not the strongest & survives mainly on charisma & luck out there

Reigen lies to him about knowing more than he does & possibly being able to help him find his brother

Throughout Mob's traumatic awakening into an entirely unknown world alone Reigen is his only company & guidance, so Mob trusts him quickly - & Reigen gets attached quickly

Reigen continues lying but his own gains aside, he soon genuinely tries to help Mob find Ritsu as well as the truth

Somewhere along on their journey they meet Dimple, an intelligent super mutant & he tags along, initially also out of interest in Mob's powers

A quick ramble-post because I just finished Haikyu 4:21 and I’m gonna explode

Spoilers for Haikyu below. Also lots of screaming. You have been warned.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHAT WAS THAT!? THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH I LOVED THAT SO SO MUCH!!!!

Before I jump straight into my Nishinoya freakout, because that’s the main point of this post: KINOSHITA?? MY MAN??? YOU ARE A HERO!!

What a day to be a Nishinoya fan. What. A. Day. I can’t even right now. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! HE DID IT GUYS!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(How is there not a gif of that receive??? The disrespect)

Is it weird to say that I feel validated?? I know Noya’s not a rare pick by any means, but compared to a lot of the other characters it seems a lot harder to find people who also have him as their favorite. I mean, he’s been such a steady and consistent presence and he hasn’t had a whole lot of troubles up until Ushijima last season. And even then, he took that in stride and still faced it head on, like he always does. So I feel a bit like an oddball because he is 100% without any doubts my absolute favorite Haikyu character of all time and always will be, even though for the first two seasons he is pretty stagnant in terms of character arc. So this whole arc of his for these past few episodes has been SO. VALIDATING. It hurt so so bad the whole time because THAT’S MY BOY, HOW DARE YOU. But getting more of his backstory? Watching him do that overhand receive? With that music in the background? IN SLOW-MO!? AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! That made me so incredibly happy!!! I kid you not I must’ve rewound that specific part of the episode at least 6 times!

I’m so happy right now.

Noya is such an inspiration. I think that’s why I like him so much. He embodies a lot of qualities I wish I had. Honestly he just amazes me to no end.

I’ll probably do an in-depth discussion of my thoughts on his character after the show is over (and maybe a few others! Right now I definitely plan on doing one about Noya though.), so I’ll get more into what I admire about him when I do that.

I love Noya so much XD

also before I leave, KINOSHITA IS AMAZING AND DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND I’M SO PROUD OF HIM AND HE’S SUCH A HERO!!!

This show is gonna be the death of me.

[thawthebeez]

saw someone on hq tiktok finally (FINALLY) agree that hinata and kageyama should be on separate teams post time skip and that it isn't actually as devastating some 'shobio fans' think it is AND THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS GETTING IT WRONG. "i'm sad that they're on separate teams" if you wanted to tell me that you only see hinata and kageyama as ""Shobio"" as opposed to individuals who happen to have some queer undertones you could have just said that y'know..

[pixiesnooze]

getting a bit worried about haikyuu movie now getting a bit shakey

[awesome-cookies-and-cream]

its still crazy to me how things from ep 2 and 4 became relevant like 200+ chapters later. like wdym that first morning run AND that 3 question thing is gonna be relevant later to punch you in the face?

How do you get such brilliant ideas for fics!!

I keep reading your cinnamon Sunshine fic atleast once a year to feel strongly about kagehina. And it always does the charm that it aligns so close to the characters in canon. Ik canon feeling abt a ship is not a must to enjoy fanfics but you do so well with characterisation that makes it very compelling to indulge in the ship

GOSH, thank you!!!!! ;-; That fic was my first for the pair, and although I feel there's much to improve on, I do have quite an attachment to it ;-; ;-; ;-; I'm such a primal person that food influences my mood to an insane level---like whenever I feel the world is ending I need to eat something nutritious and fulfilling or else I end up having a mental breakdown in the middle of a busy sidewalk---and I love love that Haikyuu!! has kinda reinforced that sentiment. Brazil!Arc and Karasuno eating a healthy meal after their devastating loss to Aoba Johsai were my main inspirations for that fic, but I would be lying if I said that story wasn't personal.

So thank you very much for taking the time to tell me you enjoyed reading! I really appreciate it!!! Even though most of the AUs I write about tend to be... erm, not common in fandom spaces, I guess? I'm still glad that you found my characterization of your faves familiar enough to remind you of canon :D

[frankencanon]

I'm curious to see how the results will change now that the top contenders from each poll are all being pitted against one another!

—

※ Why were these specific characters chosen?

All of the characters above were taken from the top six results of the two preliminary polls.

※ What do you mean by "best protagonist"?

Which character would you most prefer to have in the role of protagonist?

What sort of personality, backstory, attitude, skills, motivations, morals, and various other traits would you prefer for the protagonist of a shounen series to have?

(It's also fine to just vote for your favorite character however since "likability" is, afterall, a very important, very vital part of being a protagonist...)

[adoringhaikyuu]

heyyy!

i dont know if you’re still taking requests buuut i couldn’t stop thinking of angry confessions with kageyama and/or tsukishima (you could add anyone else tho)

ANGRY CONFESSIONS

characters: kageyama + tsukishima + (gn!reader)

warnings: none but tsukki's a lil mean lol

notes: the backstory is that they got jealous seeing you with another guy cause i couldn't think of anything else + these can have happy endings i just didn't write them sfdghkj

part one / part two

★ kageyama storms over to you, and practically scolds you, asking you what you were doing talking to that guy. his voice keeps getting louder when you can't see the problem. you're confused and tell him you don't need his permission to talk to anybody and if you wanted to go out on a date you very well could. soon he's red in the face, frustrated saying you can't. you ask him why and he just repeats himself saying you just can't. when you ask him again, he breaks and says 'because i love you!...' his eyes widen and he's breathing hard, just staring at you. he drops his gaze and his voice gets smaller. 'how can you not see that?'

★ tsukishima started blatantly ignoring and avoiding you, and the few times he would grace you with conversation (bc you were talking with yamaguchi), it would be filled with snarkier than usual comments and eye rolls. it isn't until you confront him and ask him what's wrong that he actually looks you in the eye for longer than two seconds without rolling his eyes, but they're narrowed in slits as he sneers at you. 'because you're too blind and stupid to see that if anyone should date you it should be me.' his cheeks are starting to blush and he looks away suddenly. 'no one else would be able to tolerate you anyway.'

[quirkle2]

so one thing i rly like abt mob psycho (shocker !) is that the Incident between the kageyama brothers is kept entirely contained. like, most other shows—at least ones that i've watched—feature long monologues of characters traumadumping to other characters, sometimes in the middle of fights, and while that Does happen a lot in mob psycho, the kageyama bros never do this abt The Incident, and i think that's a fascinating choice bc The Incident is the entire reason why the show starts in the first place. it's the reason mob meets reigen at all, it's the reason mob doesn't fight back against teru, it's the reason ritsu goes through his character arc. it is arguably the Most Important Story Beat and the show has countless opportunities to let the characters spill their guts on screen for drama, and yet neither of the brothers let this spill. neither of them talk about it, except with each other

there's been numerous times i've watched shows where people suddenly traumadump and tell their life story unprompted when truly not a single soul asked, but with mob psycho, both the bros are Constantly berated with questions on Why they do these things; Why are you so off-putting and quiet, Why do you not use your powers, Why won't you fight back, Why do you want psychic powers so badly, Why are you ruining these students' lives now that you have them, Why are you helping me defeat my evil dad . all of these questions eventually loop back around to The Incident, and yet neither of them ever let it slip. neither of them Ever share, and the only time they come anywhere close to it is in the wd arc

it is the event that Shaped Who They Grew Into, and yet it is not known by the main cast at all. teru has no idea, even reigen doesn't seem to understand the full extent of it, even though The Incident is what caused mob to come to his office. their parents prolly don't even know

idk, i just think that's a good detail. the brothers both hold the weight of their troubles close to their chests. and even though that makes it seem as though they figure it out on their own, it couldn't be further from the truth

their own experiences with the people around them allowed them to grow and make mistakes and learn from them, all without sharing their deepest secret, and then both took those new experiences and lessons and applied it to this issue, and learned Again

meanwhile, the rest of the cast is largely clueless abt this Entire issue. it's Crazy to me that most of the cast has no idea what the main issue is, and i think it's a brilliant choice. these characters helped the kageyama bros without ever meaning to or knowing about it, no matter how big or small the role. you truly never know what somebody else is going through !

and even in the end, it's not like there's a big reveal that tells every character the kageyama brothers' Tragic Backstory. nobody fucking knows, still. like Yeah they should totally talk this out and go to therapy or smth but i just like the fact that the story doesn't treat it as some dramatic fanfare for Other Character's Shock Value and doesn't let them air their troubles to the ends of the earth. i appreciate that

[zohanimenthusiast]

Okay so I just got back from watching the dumpster battle and OH MY GOD I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY (this review includes spoilers) and I will begin with the negatives first:

THEY DIDN'T ANIMATE NEKOMATA AND UKAI'S BACKSTORY I HATE IT HERE AND WHAT ABOUT KUROO'S SERVICE ACE?! WHERE IS IT??? TANAKA'S FIRST SERVICE ACE TOO AND NISHINOYA'S ICONIC LEG RECEIVE WHY DID THEY CUT IT UGHHH😭😭😭😭 I wish we had more Akaashi and Bokuto, Goshiki and Tendou scenes were also too short and THEY DIDN'T ANIMATE THE KUROO AND BOKUTO HUG I WAS ROBBED IM SO PISSED AND DISAPPOINTED THEY CUT KUROO AND KENMA'S BACK STORY SO SHORT AND THE TSUKISHIMA YAMAGUCHI HIGH FIVE DESERVES BETTER and in the end during kageyama and Kenma's conversation they didn't include Kuroo's dialogue IT MADE ME SO FUCKING MADDDDD THE MOVIE WAS LITERALLY SO FAST PACED UNLIKE THE MANGA WHICH WAS SO DETAILED I NEED THIS MATCH TO HAVE THE SHIRATORIZAWA TREATMENT THEY NEED TO DO JUSTICE TO THIS‼️ PRODUCTION IG BETTER PULL A MUGEN TRAIN AND RELEASE A SEASON 5 OR ELSE🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️

Okay now the postives:

THE ANIMATION?! THE ARTSTYLE?! IT WAS SO PERFECT OMGGGG LIKE their movements were so fluid and THE VOICE ACTING?! They ATE with all the screams, they had me screaming too and the last rally in Kenma's pov was cinematography at its PEAK and the soundtrack made me BAWL MY EYES OUT and I also loved how they added some stuff like Hinata's text to Kenma and that cute flashback of Kuroo giving Kenma his hand, I also loved the Hinata's jump scene IT WAS SO FUCKING ICONIC OMGGGG and don't even get me started on how AMAZING Kuroo Tetsurou is as a captain and the bond between the characters was shown really well 🥹
