[plagalkey]

[finnthebunneh]

They are very "good friends"

[afterthelambs]

Oikawa's one track mind for Ushijima is unmatched. He wants to kiss him soooo bad

Also i NEED to see a full Shiratorizawa vs Seijou match. I wanna see Tendou being a pain in everyone's ass pls furudate pleaseeeee

Other Haikyuu Fans: "Kagehina is better because X!" "No, Atsuhina is better because Y!" "Bullshit, neither of them is good, is better Kenhina!" "There are better ships in Haikyuu like IwaOi and Daisuga!" "I don't like IwaOi, I prefer BokuAka!" And more...

Me, who literally ships those ships, the most popular Haikyuu ships, and also a lot of rare pairs: Umm- okay :D

Shiratorizawa's obsession.

Shiratorizawa's captain's obsession over Seijoh's is well known, but what about the Middle Blockers? Based on an official art (in the 2nd pic).

jane austen and ushioi have joint custody of my sanity

[haikyuu-tmblr]

Ushijima: *minding his own business* Oikawa: I don't like the way you breathe... You should stop. Ushijima: ??

[kimbapisnotsushi]

thinking about how funny it’d be if dating rumors popped up for every single member of the jp national team ABOUT every other member of the jp national team. like "hey i heard hoshiumi was dating hinata who's dating hyakuzawa who's dating kageyama who's dating sakusa" and on and on and on and nobody is really sure what's true and what isn't?? like. it's just so hard to tell???? fans snap a pic of yaku and bokuto out together on what COULD be a dinner date bc they look like they're holding hands but others insist that possibly CAN'T be true bc bokuto was seen with ushijima wakatoshi who was SMILING and "when was the last time you saw ushijima smiling like that?" so obviously bokuto and ushijima must be the ones dating.

and then oikawa tooru, setter for argentina's national team, posts a picture of himself with ushijima cuddling on the beach and everyone goes batshit wild

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single volleyball idiot in possession of a volleyball must be in want of another volleyball idiot.

[kings-highway]

look i understand the UshiOi ship from a tropes standpoint but I will die on the hill that their canon relationship is so fucking much more funny than any other possible dynamic.

like can you imagine being oikawa??? i, too, would have become a feral bastard if someone had such complete faith in beating me that he sincerely misunderstood my confidence as being incorrectly informed of the rules. I would have started stabbing on the spot. "only one team can go to nationals," he says, kindly, as a favour to this poor misinformed man. Who even is that?

meanwhile Oikawa has a 10h playlist of every stz game and a corkboard filled with red strings trying desperately to figure out what the fuck happened. Its like playing 4D Chess against someone playing checkers.

[ushouldwatchhaikyuu]

i dont rlly ship them but hey ushioi fans

do yall think ushiwaka ever looks at kageyama's and hinata's weirdly deep setter-striker relationship and wonders if he and oikawa could've had what they have if he had went to the shiratorizawa?

[afterthelambs]

Ushijima-Oikawa parallels with Kageyama-Hinata

To me, Ushijima and Oikawa are like a tragic parallel to Hinata and Kageyama. If Oikawa had gone to Shiratorizawa then he and Ushijima could've had the partnership that Kagehina had. But because he didn't, they will never know what it's like to make the other feel invincible.

Shipping goggles aside, the parallels have to be intentional (haikyuu is too well-written for it to be just a coincidence): Both Ushijima and Kageyama were framed as naturally gifted volleyball monsters. Meanwhile Oikawa and Hinata believed that they were just average (even though the people around them know that they have their own strengths). Ushijima was the one who kept winning against Oikawa, just like how Kageyama was always ahead of Hinata. Both Hinata and Oikawa went abroad to gain experience so they could finally beat their rival. Ushijima and Kageyama are both awkward, intimidating, and ASD-coded while Hinata and Oikawa are framed as easy-going extroverted chatterboxes. These pairs are literally so similar it's crazy. Look at them and tell me it's not intentional

It also makes sense when you consider that their playstyles are also complementary. Kageyama and Hinata were a good match for each other because Hinata needed Kageyama's precision and Kageyama needed someone agile to match his own speed. But Ushijima's only requirement is for the ball to be set high and the right distance from the net so it's easy to hit. And which setter is known for dedicating themselves to their spikers, giving them easy sets? Oikawa. They truly could've been a terrifying duo.

I think Furudate was trying to show what Kageyama and Hinata could've been if they didn't team up. They'd still be strong, sure, but not invincible like they were in Karasuno. (as opposed to the Miya twins, who were supposed to show what they could've been like if they had an equal from the very beginning)

But in the end it all worked out for everyone! They all got to play on the world stage together. Ushijima and Oikawa even had their reconciliation at the all stars match (still waiting on the Oikawa-Kageyama reconciliation please please please 👀). They're all happy so I suppose it isn't actually tragic. I just cant help but wonder what could have been if Ushijima and Oikawa learned what it's like to be each other's greatest ally. Hinata and Kageyama were so lucky to have found each other after all.

[abcwordsurge]

ushioi but with an emphasis on oikawa's relationship with tendou. as in, oikawa is instantly repelled by tendou (as most are), but ushijima tells him straight on "hey, it's either me AND tendou, or neither of us." so oikawa gets to know tendou. and makes an effort to be friends with him. and actually starts to like him quite a bit once he looks past the superficial. and as soon as tendou gives the thumbs up, ushijima is like, "good, you passed the test. let's kiss" but first oikawa's like "hang on let me tell my bestie tendou that I'm about to kiss my crush"

(oikawa, of course, tries to give ushijima the same treatment. it backfires horribly when ushijima and iwaizumi hit it off right away. oikawa ends up dragging them apart from each other because he doesn't want them to like each other more than they each like him.)

Rating Oikawa’s ships I found on the internet.

Just a personal opinion. I had so much fun drawing them!!!

What do you think? 😁🩵
