[kimbapisnotsushi]

here have a medley of miscellaneous timeskip pro team headcanons bc WOW i haven't posted in a while and this is my only stress outlet other than binging new series <3333

starting off strong with ejp raijin LET'S GOOOOOO

washio 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼suna 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼komori: being EXHAUSTED from carrying the pro team world on their backs

no no i'm kidding. mostly

they keep a tally of other pro team matches in which their former teammates go up against each other and are REALLY smug if their respective teammate wins. which means you get shit like this

komori, cheerfully: "so how about that hornets v falcons game last night, huh?" suna: "oh shut UP tell iizuna tsukasa that aran-san could kick his ass any day of the week you little SHIT - "

they ARE united on the jackals front tho. all three of them want the adlers to go down HARD.

is suna nursing a grudge against ushijima from high school? yeah. is he ever going to get over it? probably not.

only komori feels bad bc he is fond of kageyama, but, hey, family's family

they ask washio why he hates the adlers and he looks them dead in the eyes and goes "hoshiumi kourai . . . he is a man that requires constant vigilance"

actually wait i know we all saw everyone watching and talking about the game (which makes me wanna cry SO bad) but god. how fucking funny would it be if players from monster gen convinced everyone else on their very professional and very mature teams to take sides

ejp raijin captain, who's been friends with hirugami fukurou for like ten years: "okay so explain to me again why we need to blow our entire team budget on jackals merch when we're not even going to the goddamn game?" komori: "well, it started on a cloudy but beautifully crisp spring day in 2012 - "

SPEAKING OF TACHIBANA RED FALCONS

hakuba joins the team, sees aran, and IMMEDIATELY starts texting the old kamomedai group chat

altho tbh i don't think there's no way that the "who-from-where-made-WHAT-pro-team" news never breaches the high school circuit. like come ON you know everyone's keeping up with the third year stars when they graduate

by the time the first years are third years they've got everyone pinned down on a fucking MAP. they have a shared file where they update each other on EVERYTHING. it's way less creepy than it sounds they're just a really passionate bunch okay!!!!

well that AND they can't help but brag about their amazing upperclassmen

okay sorry back to it. so it really goes more like

hakuba: "HOLY SHIT OJIRO ARAN FROM INARIZAKI IS HERE" suwa: "hakuba, we already knew that. i linked the article when it first dropped, remember?" hakuba: "yeah but it's still so WEIRD like it's OJIRO ARAN from INARIZAKI" hoshiumi: "lol atsumu told me he talks in his sleep, go find out if it's true"

aran actually does recognize hakuba mostly because gin paid him a compliment ONE (1) time and then aran had to listen to atsumu complain incessantly about the "stupid wall of muscle with stupid hair and his stupid height and stupid arms" ever since

ALSO. i think people get hakuba and hyakuzawa mixed up a lot. they've both got a similar height and build and hairstyle and play the same position

(not to mention the similar backstories)

it becomes a running joke throughout the pro leagues and makes for a fun time with falcons v warriors matches

in the event of a hyakuhina hookup (which i feel like actually could happen) they somehow get onto the topic of "haha it'd be even harder to tell them apart with your eyes closed!" and hinata, without thinking, goes "well, i probably could" and everyone is like "WHAT"

he digs himself an even deeper hole by saying "no, i just meant - i know hyakuzawa's body really well!!!" and everyone immediately starts screaming

poor hyakuzawa is dying on the inside

i think shibayama (MY BELOVED) kind of occasionally forgets that he also has his own fanbase and is sort of semi-famous as the libero of tokai heavy industries esperanza bc. he knows kenma and yaku and lev and komi and yamamoto and fukunaga and, in general, a bunch of people that he believes are much more well-known than he is

he's always so flattered whenever someone stops him in the street to ask for a pic or when he sees posts online gushing about him

this is extra funny bc he never talks about his friends like they're famous so all of his teammates don't really know that shibayama is friends with all these other famous people

and then one of them, an avid kodzuken fan, spams their group chat when kodzuken's newest video is released and shibayama shows up in it

they're like "SHIBAYAMA!! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US THAT YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH KODZUKEN??" and shibayama is like "i have?? i talk about kenma-san all the time??" and they're like "YOU'RE TELLING ME KODZUKEN IS THE SAME KENMA-SAN WHO RIPPED HIS HIGH SCHOOL JERSEY TRYING TO JUMP OVER A FENCE???"

(shibayama's second year. they'd been dealing with things. it worked out, in the end. even if they had to lie to nekomata and naoki about why all their jerseys ended up with holes in them.)

i love the pro teams you guys they're so fucking funny

[kakasau]

[futureacesquad]

Captain Squad Headcanons

Warning: LONG post.

They all hang out on Skype the most because y'know...different prefectures lol.

The Miyagi captains see each other a lot tho!

The current second-year captains especially exchange advice a lot since they're newest to it.

Shibuya (Tokonami Captain; I'm just guessing here): Guys I think I accidentally started a disagreement between the first-years and I feel really bad about it, what do I do?

Futakuchi (Date Tech Captain): Look, I start 90% of the fights on my team so...

Towada (Ougiminami Captain): Our team just settles it in a death match.

Terushima (Johzenji Captain): We don't really fight per say, the gym just accidentally gets set on fire on occasion.

Komaki (Kakugawa Captain): Why do I feel like I'm the only one who actually has it semi-together?

Fr tho all the captains envy Komaki so much because his team is literally the only decently-sane one among them.

Like the biggest problem he has to deal with other than teens being teens is Asamushi getting too fired up sometimes and Hyakuzawa accidentally hitting his head on doorways.

As for dynamics among them...

There is a mutual agreement to keep Kuroo and Daishou separated at all times because the power of petty exes is too much for them (Iizuna is in charge of making sure they're at least 6 feet apart when possible).

The ONLY time those two have ever agreed on something was when some asshole started insulting their first-years.

The guy still gets nightmares about it.

Oikawa and Ushijima are also kept apart most times, though Oikawa's getting better at understanding him while Ushijima is starting to get why Oikawa feels the way he does.

They like to bitch about their fellow year-mates too.

Daichi complains about Suga's chaoticness and Asahi's timidness.

Kuroo complains about Yaku at any opportunity (though rarely Kai).

Oikawa loudly whines about the "disrespect" he endures from all the third-years (barring Yuda, the one who was crying with pride for all of them).

Daishou is fed up with how unhelpful his third-years are when it comes to any life advice (he doesn't have it together, but nobody else does either, sooo).

Bokuto likes to join Oikawa in his protest against "cruelty against captains"; the one he complains most about is Konoha, but the rest of them are still talked about very frequently.

Nakashima always follows up his complaints with something positive about them. Daichi is both jealous and in awe of this (little does he know it's a technique developed to stop Takeru from decking his siblings sometimes).

Ushijima doesn't like to complain about his teammates much bc he doesn't really see the point when you could just tell them they're being annoying dicks.

Iizuna's complaints usually aren't too bad and far between, but on days when Itachiyama loses practice matches due to the team's attitude...whoo boy.

Suwa is like...so calm? And his complaints are always so minor? And always with a completely patient expression? And the captains are so confused in the beginning because their only prior personal experience with Kamomedai is the few Hoshiumi interviews people manage to get and that kid sure as hell isn't this calm.

And then one day Nozawa is making provocations worthy of Futakuchi and he comes in complaining and everyone's just like there it is.

Echigo's pretty chill too, since Tsubakihara isn't a particularly rambunctious team, but some days Teradomari gets completely slandered for the dumbass moves he pulls during practice on occasion (he's trying to show off to the underclassmen; spoilers, it's not working, but Himekawa politely claps for him at least).

Kiryuu always feels really bad about venting even when it's clear he needs to (he was the one who put in the "no insulting the second or first years" rule since he felt it was unfair to the underclassmen), but he's getting better.

Him and Oikawa trade mental health tips sometimes.

The previous captains like to drop in sometimes.

It's canonical that the Date Tech third-years can't leave their underclassmen alone, so they show up most often.

The two Komakis confuse everyone to no end.

Ikejiri and Komaki H (Tokonami's old captain) show up the most for their team.

Ikejiri is delighted to catch up with Daichi (they start having monthly catch-up sessions with Yui too at one point).

Okudake and Akimiya drop by sometimes to make sure their second-years haven't convinced anyone to commit major arson or join a gang.

Moniwa, Okudake and Akimiya are highly respected by everyone for dealing with the hazardous sassy disasters known as the Date Tech, Johzenji and Ougiminami second-years.

[tsunabi-art]

I've always been curious about what kind of captain Suwa was, but we barely got any info about him.

[keruimi]

The Person I Needed

Pairing: Hoshiumi Korai x Reader

Warning: Slight Angst, Comfort

Note: I did this in a hurry but I hope I'm not the only one who is a fan of this man. Please, he's too underrated!

_____________________________

Ever since I was young, the only talent I can be proud of was my voice.

I can't even be proud of my face, knowledge, or even kindness.

That's why I was shocked when Suwa Aikichi asked me out on my first year of senior high.

That was the best part of my life until the thought of how average I was compared to him.

He is perfect, and so is his female best friend.

That female best friend who became the root of my insecurities.

And I can't even complain because I still don't know him well.

But because of their friendship, it made me question myself that I once thought it was enough.

I thought I didn't need to change for anyone.

But I finally accepted the fact that if I keep with that kind of mindset, I would never make anyone stay, not even the one who I thought was the nicest.

Rumors about them start circulating around the campus while he was still going out with me, not even an assurance or presence was given to me.

That's why I decided to turn my back against the childish relationship we both have.

When he confessed to her on the first day of winter.

The mixed signals were obvious. What do I even expect from a man like him?

His female friend, Yumi, was one of the prettiest women in the Academy.

In the eyes of others, they were perfect, even for me.

I was a mere woman who once got his interest.

And after that, it suddenly vanishes.

That admiration turns to jealousy when I saw the obvious difference of his treatment to her compared to me.

He was so nice, gentle, and kind to her. While he was playful to me, his words sometimes hurt me.

I admitted that I'm lacking. But I can't deny the pretty privilege Yumi had from him.

It seems like even volleyball players have the same mindset as society.

That time I vowed to myself, that I would become prettier and better than I used to be.

I would make him regret entering my life and leaving like he didn't mess it up.

And that was the start of my journey on becoming one of the best female liberos in the country.

Others will say it's natural, too quick, and unfair.

But they don't know how much my feet gave up everyday just to keep up with my new routine.

Went through harsh training during vacation, that made some bruises engraved on my body.

It was one of the titles that I can run into when my mind started to drift away until my negative thoughts appeared.

One of the titles that I can hold on to when I feel like I'm losing my grip on who I am.

I decided to make everyone scared to even talk to me.

Because I believe that if everyone feared me, they would hesitate to hurt me.

And that assured me. That I would not go through the same experience where my mind became my own enemy.

In the new me, I would keep choosing myself over others.

But I didn't know a person like Hoshiumi Korai would break down my walls.

The man I met on the first day of my second-year.

"Y/n, the meeting is almost starting. We need to hurry" my friend said in a hurry as I made my way through the gym while taking my time.

"Sorry for the intrusion" I muttered as I greet the coaches before taking a seat on the floor as I look over to the regular players.

My eyes met Suwa's that made me fix my mask before I continued scanning the regular players of our school.

As my eyes landed on a man leaning to the wall with his short stature.

When he noticed my gaze, he quickly raised an eyebrow at me so I just offered a smile at him.

The school's athletes are acting like a delinquent person.

"You would be facing the male volleyball team players" my attention went back to the coach.

As time passed by, while I was waiting for my turn. I remove my glasses as I carefully put my eye contacts.

The frame can be quite a bother.

So I was totally clueless on the ongoing match behind me.

"Y/n right?" I heard Yumi beside me as I bit the inside of my mouth to prevent myself from speaking.

"You're up next"

"I'm aware" I spat immediately and my tone immediately settled the tense atmosphere between the two of us.

I heard her take a deep breath before I fix my things as I put my hair in a ponytail.

"Just to make sure, you're applying for the Libero position, right?"

I didn't bother answering her as I started stretching.

I don't want to waste my voice on obvious questions that are literally written on my club form.

"Y/n!" Hairi, my only friend, called for me as I began stretching. I finally got to breath when Yumi walked away while stomping her feet, for sure its because of irritation.

"Have you heard that you are tasked to receive Hoshiumi's spike?" She muttered breathlessly since she just finished her try out as I continued with my stretching.

"Who is that?"

I asked her as I borrowed a ball from a player and began practicing my receives with the wall.

"The Ace!"

I didn't dare get distracted from the information as I spiked the ball to the wall before bending my knees to receive it.

"How exciting" I whispered to myself as I silently waited for the match to end.

"He is one of the best all rounders in the prefecture. If you even fail one ball, you will not get accepted at all" she mentions as she stood behind me to avoid getting in the way of my warm-up.

"I've also heard that you will just receive so you will not literally battle with him"

So it's like training to receive then.

"It's not that I mind but I do hope they are aware about the biological difference between a male and female. They shouldn't expect too much from me if that is the set up."

If I don't get to prove myself in the court, showing my determination will not help me at all.

Because this is a powerhouse, only the strongest can remain.

And I would not dare get eliminated.

"Chizue Y/n!" I heard the coach call for me as I caught the ball.

Finally...

"Present" I responded back as I approached them who were standing on the sideline of the court.

"It's your turn"

I bowed before I headed inside the court and my eyes found the same man who caught my attention.

So he is the ace. A man who has a unique appearance for a human.

He looks more like a seagull.

I stifled a laugh as I placed myself in the middle of the court. Yet my action immediately caught his attention.

"Do you have something to say Chizue Y/n?"

I bit the bottom of my lip before shaking my head.

"My apologies"

I decided to finally get my focus to the try out.

"You'll receive his serve first!"

I heard the coach yell at the side as I nod before I took a step back and ready my receiving stance.

If this unique looking guy manages to be an Ace, I don't dare underestimate him.

And the first skill made me amazed for a short moment before I bumped it perfectly to the setter position while losing balance because of the power he put there.

The difference...

He squinted his eyes at me as I stood back on my feet while sending a wink at him.

Perfectly executed serve and a well received ball.

"One more!"

After the try out, my arms were so red and warmed that I felt like I stood for hours under the scorching sun.

"You did well!" Hairi immediately complimented the moment I finished my try out as I wiped my sweats before pouring the cold water on my towel to press it on my arms.

"So this is one of the volleyball aces"

He is strong.

I look over him who is standing on the opposite side of the gym as I saw him click his tongue while he looked annoyed for some reason.

Seems like he misunderstood me on something.

But since he is part of Suwa's team, which is also the team that Yumi is managing, I doubt that I will ever have a good first impression from them.

But the time that the coaches immediately gave me a jacket as a sign that I'm finally part of the club.

The first one to be called among the sea of students.

Made me prouder than I should be.

And the moment I exited the gym, the squealed I was trying to suppress by myself can be heard as the girls around me try to hype my excitement.

"I did it Hairi!"

I did it!

During my time as the female libero, I feel like I fell in love with volleyball one step further.

But of course my day wouldn't be complete without finishing the demands of Hoshiumi.

"Y/n, practice with me!"

I put the volleyball I used as I looked over to the male volleyball team and saw that he was already waiting on the court.

"Don't you have your own libero?" I boldly asked him while I made my way there.

"My apologies if I keep hogging you Ace's attention" I waved to his team who just gave me smiles.

Compared to him who acts like a beast, his team is nice except for Suwa.

"It seems like I completely smitten your ace" I decided to tease the boy that made an irk mark appear on his forehead.

My Vengeance on Suwa was completely forgotten because of his presence.

I can't lie about the fun I felt while practicing his serves with me.

He said that we will not stop as long as I keep receiving his serves perfectly.

That interaction became the foundation of my growing feelings for the man.

His competitiveness is not that bad that it would make him annoying, it was actually adorable in my opinion that he wants to keep proving me wrong.

Like that attitude already ran on his veins.

"Thank you for the match!"

"I wonder what it feels like to be on the same team with Hoshiumi-san. It seems like all the attention was on him" I heard a teammate of mine mention his name as I laid with my back on the floor to gather my breath for a while before I started stretching.

"Did you notice that too? I don't seem to like the way Hirugami-san became his shadow. It's infuriating just seeing it"

I recognize that they are one of my judgemental classmates so I just rolled my eyes on their conversation before I decided to start my stretching session.

Until they included me in their conversation.

"Don't you feel the same way Y/n?"

"Huh?"

I look at them while I continue stretching.

"Don't you feel like Hoshiumi is too prideful?"

"I mean he is the Ace" I stated that made them scoff.

He has the right to take pride in it.

"But still, he wouldn't be an Ace if the setter tossed fairly with the other spikers. He just became the Ace because he scored the most points" Mika stated as Aki followed her with a whisper.

"Reminds me, he's also demanding. He keep asking for the time of others to practice with him like its already a responsibility. It's literally forcing"

"See! I'm not the only one who notice it! Isn't he forcing you to practice late with him, Y/n?"

They chose to make the decision that I am being forced.

Idiots... And don't they notice how obvious they are on their bashing moments to the male Ace with the way they glance at him with a frown.

I don't dare get included.

"Y/n, don't tire yourself on a selfish man like him"

I heard them yelp in surprise when a ball went their way that made me get up from the floor and immediately saw Hoshiumi with his hands pointed towards our direction.

"Close-minded people like you girls don't deserve to represent our school" His anger was undeniably present with his tone so I approach him.

"Don't include me" I raised both of my hands in a surrending manner that seemed to ease his anger a while as I heard him click his tongue on my actions while I made my way on the court because I don't want to suffer under his wrath.

Sooner or later, my classmates were kicked out of the club as he made his way on the other side of the court.

"Why are you there?! Why don't you leave since you are being forced right?" He shouted as I rolled my eyes at him.

"I told you to not include me with them!" I shouted back as he stomped his feet in frustration.

"And if I'm indeed being forced, I could just mess up my receive so this serve training can stop. But I don't want to ruin your ego if you got to know so I did what I am supposed to do!" I spat without any limit as he pointed a finger at me.

"You!"

"The audacity to get angry at me" I cut him off as I crossed my arms in a childish manner.

And if my eyes are not playing tricks on me, I saw a small smile lift from his lips before he looked away in a frown.

And I didn't realize that a smile lifted from my own lips too.

"You both are childish" I heard his friend, Hirugami, stated in a chuckle as I put my hands on my waist.

"He is directing his anger on me. And as an innocent woman, I need to defend myself too" I pointed at the Ace in an accusing manner.

"At least I didn't remove you from the club. Be grateful!"

"Why should I be thankful when you don't even have the rights to do that to the club members?!"

I heard the laughter of our team before I felt him hit my arms to solve his irritation making me chuckle.

"Be thankful I love you Hoshiumi, or I would have slapped you right now"

That night seems to improve our friendship for the better. It was the healthy friendship I wanted.

But on the finals of the interhigh preliminaries, I landed at a bad footing after perfectly chasing a ball.

I manage to receive it like I used to, but in exchange for that was a sprain that prevents me from entering the court again.

The loss almost ruined me mentally that I don't even want to go back to the bus if he didn't look for me.

If Hoshiumi didn't look for me, I would never dare go back.

I was silently gazing at the huge windows of the gymnasium where the interhigh preliminaries took place as I heard familiar footsteps approach me.

I was even confident that we are going to win. Because I'm part of the regulars.

But the disappointment consumed my entire mind that it was slowly ruining my self-esteem.

I shouldn't have talked big like our win is already guaranteed. Completely forgetting that I am no better than the opposing team.

I became too prideful because of baseless confidence that I unknowingly made myself look like an idiot.

A newbie player who has no talent but just talks.

My situation is much worse than the situation I was in before I decided to become better.

But I became a worse person.

"Y/n" he called for me as he stood in front of me to cover my view from the window that displayed the cloudy weather that completely goes along with the emotions I'm feeling right now.

"I'm sorry"

"Why are you apologizing?"

"i didn't make it"

I hid my face between my knees as I bit my lip to prevent myself from sobbing.

He is one of the best players in the country.

While, I'm just the idiot who keeps mocking his skills.

I can't even face him.

"You still made it. You made our school's female team become one of the best teams in our prefecture. Stop sulking on a one time loss" he stated before he tried to make me get up so I stood up before resting my back against the wall.

"You can't always win. You're just starting, quit degrading yourself for it" he stated as he close the zipper of my jacket before he wiped the tears that escape from my cheeks.

"At this time, I'm painfully reminded of how average I was. I can't even stay until the end" I muttered before I looked down.

"Injuries like this are common. No one would blame you for it. And is still the interhigh preliminaries, there are still the Spring interhigh and next year tournaments" he stated as I felt my eyes started getting glossy.

"But I was disappointed the expectations of everyone who I showed off with. Including you who look at me as a competition"

"The loss made me feel like you just wasted your time on a newbie like me." I cried out, ignoring the pain on my ankle as I focused on wiping my tears.

"Where did you hear that, Idiot? Did that word come out of my mouth? Did I allow you to decide for me?" He stated while he helped me wipe my tears.

He lowered his head to match mine as he gazed at me.

"You did great Y/n. Don't think of the opinion of others who are no better than us. In my eyes, you did great, ok?" He declared as he cupped my cheeks before giving it a slight squeeze.

"You just need to believe that"

The softness in his voice opened my eyes to a new side of him that I never knew.

That day, he carried me to the bus and I knew, it was a friendship I wouldn't trade for the world.

I wouldn't let anyone hurt him at all.

That friendship turned into something more as the time progress. And the time that the confession happened, I didn't even waste a second of answering it.

Because it was him who is kneeling in front of me.

Hoshiumi Korai, the man my old self needed before, didn't disappointed when he came for the new me that needed someone.

The man who finally provide me the words I used to tell myself before.

I finally love the right person

[lsain]

Drew some captains.

Happy Birthday Suwa

[rhetorical-ink]

Haikyuu!! “Setter Dump”

The Major Setters of Haikyuu!! -- Who’s Your Type? 

The “Calm, Calculating, and Internally Screaming” Setter

These setters act cool and calm...on the outside. On the inside, though, they are either struggling with an inferiority complex, figuring out the best case scenario for combating an enemy, or treating the game like a literal chess board. 

Bonus: They’re kind of hot, but also kind of awkward or dorky.

The “Sweet and Sour” Setter

These setters seem sweet, supportive, and “refreshing,” but don’t let that fool you. In a match, these setters aren’t afraid to play dirty, experiment, or toy with the players on both sides of the court to make sure the game goes their way. 

Bonus: Their teammates will probably be the death of them. 

The “Seen and Not Heard” Setter

These setters aren’t manipulative, loud, or perfectionists -- they are quiet leaders who may seem timid, but show fortitude and skill in leading their teammates towards being their best, especially on the court. 

Bonus: Their team may not always show it, but they really respect them. 

The "Bread and Butter” Setter

These setters don’t have any fancy tricks and are “what you see is what you get.” However, their down-to-earth, grounded presence and positive attitudes show incredible enthusiasm and optimism on the court, and allow them to be versatile, too.

Bonus: They’re super friendly, and their teammates gravitate towards them.

The “Grumpy Control Tower” Setter

These setters are highly competitive and can lash out at their teammates, especially in the heat of the game, though not enough to cause the team morale to crumble. They may appear standing still to be stoic or quiet, but they really get loud when the game gets going.

Bonus: Their teammates sometimes find their antics amusing. 

[iamnootthedabmast-r]

OH NOO- ITS EVERYONE I LOVE 👏😭✨👍💕🥰😍

They’re all soooo beautiful- I’m gonna cryyyyyy ;;;∆;;;;

a thank you illustration from furudate-sensei to everyone who has supported the series!

greetings from the team captains!!

thank you for your support!!

hinata: the pressure is intense Σ(･口･)

[yulchi]

this one is a little bit unknown but he blue and we all need to make some compromises sometimes 🐦

[kimbapisnotsushi]

I loved your mujinazaka headcanons! Do you have any for kamomedai?

OH DO I EVER

hoshiumi's dream is to parkour up the school building and all the way up to the roof. the rest of the team has held secret meetings to discuss the pros and cons of letting him do this and whether or not they could successfully help pull it off

liam's irrational fear is that hoshiumi will one day piss someone off so much that they will try to step on him and liam will be the only one around to stop it

liam, internally: "i can't. i just can't. i'm so fucking small. what the fuck am i supposed to do. how do i, a little guy, stop a third year with biceps bigger than my head from squishing hoshiumi-senpai like a bug. it's not physically possible. i should just let it happen. but then we wouldn't be able to play volleyball anymore. also it would make hakuba-senpai and hirugami-senpai really sad. but i'm so LITTLE - "

this is a scenario he thinks about a lot btw

i really like liam and bessho being together bc a lot of hq!! dynamics is made up of one super weird guy and one non weird guy but liam and bessho are just super extremely weird on a regular basis and even more so together

(this is disregarding the mcs and exclusive to the sides bc like. we all know the mains are also weird as hell LMAO)

liam, introducing himself to the team: "hello my name is tokura liam and - " hoshiumi: "YOU'RE THE GUY FROM ONE DIRECTION"

god i'm so sorry for all the liam headcanons i just really love him okay

also suwa i really love suwa 10/10 captain he deserves all the hugs

suwa becomes friends with daichi and almost cries because daichi GETS it

they talk about the underclassmen like they're babies

daichi: "yeah i got like zero sleep last night because hinata kept waking up to go to the bathroom and couldn't see so he kept tripping over everyone and nearly kicked me in the balls" suwa, shaking his hand: "welcome to the club soldier"

kanbayashi, kamomedai's local himbo,

it's not hakuba bc hakuba is not pure of heart he makes dick jokes more than anyone else on the team

(he has made one dick joke in his whole life)

((kamomedai is full of sweethearts and i stand by that))

bessho gets a lot of confessions so cue the tokubessho fake-dating to get people off his back

the reason why someone told nozawa he wasn't popular is bc he smiles like he knows something about you that you don't and it freaks people out

hirugami, on the inside: "i love you. i would give you the world if you asked. you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. nobody makes me happy the way you do. i want to stay by your side forever. you're the light of my life and every day i thank the gods that you're here with me." hirugami, on the outside: "kourai i'm begging please do not call the opposing team's captain a 'squirrelface with a fifty-meter stick shoved up his ass'"

I love them

Being Kamomedai's Manager

And Secretly Dating Izuru Nozawa

Izuru Nozawa featuring Kamomedai x GN!Manager

Warnings: light kissing, me getting to bully Hoshiumi, Manga spoilers, potential anime spoilers (spoilers are just details about the teams)

A/N: This is an Anon request and my first Kamomedai request! Currently reading the Manga so I'm not as familiar with Kamomedai as the rest of the teams BUT I have successfully stalked researched and I think I have a decent idea of their personalities so please bare with me!

Ok so from what I understand, Kamomedai is kind of like Date Tech but like more extreme??

Honestly I can tell I'm already going to adore them 🥺

Personally, they kind of give me Shiratorizawa 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 vibes

So I'm going to go with a mix of the two for these headcanons

You become Kamomedai's Manager during your second year

Let's say you were besties with Hirugami

Because seriously, what an angel 😍

By default, you become friends with Hoshiumi and let's just say you have a love/ hate relationship with our tiny seagull bby

"YN seriously must you be so happy all the time?!?"- Hoshiumi says glaring at you 😑

"It's not my fault I have friends Hoshiumi, maybe you should try not being such a stick in the mud"- you 🤪🤸‍♂️

"KORAI KNOCK IT OFF!"- Hirugami growls

Hoshiumi 👉🏻👁👄👁 WHY DIDNT YOU YELL AT YN?!?!

You 👉🏻😜 sUcK iT KoRai 😜

Honestly the maturity YN 😅

It's actually Hirugami that brings up the idea of joining Kamomedai as a manager

He decides to talk to his seniors and they love the idea

So he brings you to practice one day

Suwa, Norikura, Hakuba, Bessho, Tokura and Kanbayashi are all so nice to you

Hoshiumi just looks at Hirugami, eyes widening and says "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?? REALLY?? YN??"

"You know you love me Korai"- you say sweetly 🙃

Meanwhile, a certain winged spiker is observing your interaction with Hoshi 👀

That's right, third year Izuru Nozawa is watching you 👀

Observing from a distance you might say

He thinks you are super cute and the way you handle the team, well let's just say the man is sold 😍

He's seems like the kind of guy who is cocky but self conscious when it comes to crushing on someone

Luckily, you don't have that problem

"Hi!! My name is YN!! What's yours?" You say, bubbly as ever as you introduce yourself to Izuru

"Im- uh- I'm-" Nozawa says stumbling iver his words

If you don't think the team noticed his stumbling, you could be completely wrong 😏

Please they are eating this up!

Suwa comes up behind him, smacking Nozawa on the back making his jump

"This is Izuru Nozawa YN. He's one of our third year winged spikers. Isn't that right Nozawa"- Suwa says 🙃

Nozawa 👉🏻😳 uh yeah- that's me 😅

You're smile beams at Nozawa as he watches you

"I'm so excited to work with you guys"- you say, literally ecstatic

"Nobody said you were hired yet YN"- Hoshiumi grumbles

🙄 😒

Please ✋🏻 all these boys just GLARE at Hoshiumi because HOW DARE HE CHASE YOU AWAY

You just giggle and leap at Hoshiumi, hugging him

His eyes widen and he blushes, stuttering over his own words as the guys all watch in astonishment

Kamomedai 👉🏻😲😲😲

Hoshiumi 👉🏻😠😳☺️

You 👉🏻🥰🥰🥰

"Ugh fine get off me"- Hoshiumi says pushing you off

Unfortunately for you, you're balance isn't the best

Big SAME

You stumble back, falling in slowmotion

Luckily for you, Nozawa acts quickly, catching you

You look up to him, blushing as he awkwardly smiles 🥺

Please this is so wholesome

"Umm thanks Izuru"- you say, your blush turning into a smile

Please Hakuba is probably wiping a tear away because how romantic 🥲

He gives me big, loving himbo vibes!

Like Bokuto but maybe without the emo modes

From that day forward, you begin your journey as Kamomedai's Manager

You provide a kind of softness to the once rough team

Literally before you, practices were so rigorous and hard

Their coach believes in working them hard

But you believe in love and nurturing your boys 🥰

So let's just say they are very surprised when they come into practice one day to see personalized treat bags made for each of them

They all stare at them, look at each other and then look to you

You 👉🏻🥰🙌🏻

Them 👉🏻👁👄👁

You 👉🏻😍💙🤍

Them 👉🏻👁💧👄💧👁

You are exactly what they needed YN

You are an amazing encouragement to all of them

You help Hirugami when he struggles with his feelings towards volleyball

You help Hakuba with his receives and blocks

You help Suwa keep track of the guys progress and where they need to improve

And most importantly, you develop a close friendship with Nozawa

Mans literally follows you everywhere YN

He loves when you cheer for him and help him practice

He also gets very jealous when you do the same for his teammates

He knows you're the teams manager and that it's your job

But seriously, he's so jealous YN 😫

He desperately wants to ask you out but he's not entirely sure how to go about it

You aren't the same as all the others YN

You are so special to him and the team

He can't mess this up!

Kamomedai prides themselves on results

They don't believe in momentum

They believe in results 👏🏻

So in his mind, of he can't ask you out the way you deserve, then he won't ask you out at all

Unfortunately, he thinks you deserve the absolute world YN 🥺 so this man will push himself to give you the best

After a particularly rough practice, Nozawa stays late to practice his serves

He struggled today, missing about 25% of his targeted goal

He knew what was messing him up, but he couldn't let it bother him

However, seeing him struggling, you decided to stay back to make sure he was ok

Hirugami and Hoshiumi left you after you said you had a few things to finish, leaving you alone with Nozawa

You stood outside the door, listening to the balls slam on the floor

"Damnit Izuru! You can't even make a serve inbounds! How do you expect YN to even considering going out with you?"- Izuru says, putting his hands on his knees and scolding himself

Your hand goes to your mouth in shock

Izuru liked you? And he thought he wasn't good enough for you 😡

Oh no no no, you weren't going to listen to Izuru put himself down

Without even thinking, you make your way into the gym, crossing the floor in only a few strides

Izuru looked up at you, eyes widening as you kneel in front of him, grab his cheeks and pull him into a kiss

His eyes wide, he watches you pull away, a small smile creeping on your face

"Izuru, you are perfect just the way you are and I'd love to go out with you"- you say, now smiling widely

Izuru just stared at you 😳

Pls YN, he's in shock say something!

"Izuru are you ok?"- You say, studying his face

Suddently, Izuru reaches his hand over, pinching himself and whincing

You just look at him, confused 🤨

"Just making sure I'm not dreaming"- he says, as he leans in, kissing your lips again making you giggle

After that, Izuru and you started a sort of secret relationship

Why secret 👀

It's because I 1000% believe this team is just as nosey as the other ones 🙄

Literally, high school kids live for gossip and what better gossip is there?

However, it's unfortunate for you and Izuru that you can't have nice things

Because one day, you are getting volleyball from the back room

Izuru comes in, asking for a small kiss before practice

You oblidge, of course 😏

Too bad a certain 6'8" winged spiker just happens to barge in

🎶 when he looks at me, and I look at him and he looks at me and I LOOK AT HIMMMM 🎶

Hakuba rn 👉🏻😐😳😱

"HOLY CRAP NOZAWA WAS JUST MAKING OUT WITH YN!!"

everyone stops ✋🏻

Izuru is still holding on to you and you to him

Hoshiumi comes running 🏃‍♂️ over to you

"Nozawa are you ok??? Yn did force you did they!!"- Hoshiumi 😨

You 👉🏻😐😑 why you little-

Hirugami comes over, grabbing Hoshiumi and moving him back

Honestly, he saving Hoshi if you asked me ✋🏻

Izuru and you are still standing there 🧍‍♂️

Suwa comes up, shaking his head at everyone

"Seriously? We are suppose to be practicing"- Suwa shouts

"How can we?? YN is literally ruining it"- Hoshi yells

You 👉🏻😠 istg-

Please Nozawa is holding you back from murdering Hoshiumi

"Just one swing Izuru..." you say, glaring

"Well practice sure is interesting"- Bessho's comments

Suwa is rolling his eyes so hard rn

"Ok ok, Nozawa are you and YN together?"- Suwa

Izuku nodds, still holding you back from committing murder

"Ok, well as long as you two are happy"- Suwa says, shrugging and turning to leave

Please Hoshiumi is all worked up

"WHAT THE HECK?? YN IS A TOTAL LIABILITY"- Hoshiumi yells

Somehow you managed to squeeze from Izuru's hold, grabbing a volleyball and channeling Sir Iwaizumi Hajime

The ball hits Hoshiumi right in the face as he falls back, cursing at you and swearing your end

You 👉🏻 BRING IT 👊🏻

Izuru and the entire team rn 👉🏻😐🙄

After that, you no longer had to hide your relationship with Izuru

However, that doesn't mean it was easy 👀

Because you see, Nationals is pretty stressful

And I totally believe Nozawa is a jealous and possessive boi

So while the boys warm up for their first game, you sneak away to use the rest room

On your way back, you accidently bump into a tower of yellow jackets 💛

Namely ONE jacket in particular 🙃

"Oh my, I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going"- you say, excusing yourself

"Oh its no problem, I'll never complain about a beautiful person running into me"- Iizuna Tsukasa, captain of Itachiyama says 😏

Just me throwing all the names out there 🤪

You blush at the compliment, looking at the tall blonde setter as he smirks at you

"HEY-" you hear a low growling shout from behind you as you turn to see Izuru, Hoshiumi, Hakuba and Hirugami standing

You turn to walk towards your boyfriend as he pulls you close, kissing your forehead

"Ahh Nozawa, good to see you"- Iizuna says, smirking

"Iizuna, what were you doing with MY YN?" Izuru responds, eyes narrowed

"I accidently bumped into him Izu, it's ok"- you say caressing his cheek

Nozawa still glares at Iizuna as he leans his head down, giving you a small peck on the lips

Hoshiumi groans from behind you "Seriously get a room!"

Nozawa doesn't hear as he's still locked in a heated glare with Iizuna

"Let's go YN, we have a game to win"- Izuru says

"Good luck Nozawa, you're going to need it"- Iizuna says

"Not as much as you'll need"- Izuru growls, pulling you away as you wave cutesy to Iizuna

Please YN, do less ✋🏻

Needless to say, Izuru and Kamomedai didn't need to luck 🙃

They crushed their first opponents with ease, securing their place in the next round

You cheered as your boys won their match, Izuru running towards you and twirling you around, giving you a small kiss

"Ugh seriously??"- Hoshiumi moans

You glare at him as Izuru hands you a volleyball

"You know me so well"- you say as you canon the ball towards Hoshiumi 🥰

That he does YN, that he does!

Furudate-sensei’s little one-liners / Q&As from the final Haikyuu guidebook! Of course I must collect them all! LET’S GO!!! 😤

*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!

Character Comments

Hoshiumi Korai: I was worried about being able to draw him in a cool way, but I think he came out looking pretty cool.

Hirugami Sachirou: That scene where he slammed his hand on the wall was inspired by one of my old [work colleague] senpais, who told this story of their senpai from a time when they were in school. [so many possessives in this sentence]

Hakuba Gao: A blessed person. Not only in his physique, but also in the people around him.

Bessho Kazuyoshi: With Kamomedai having such strong blocking, for him to be one of the starting middles as a first-year is pretty amazing.

Given Name Origins

Note: This is kind of from the perspectives of the parents, since given names are like a wish for the child’s future. Will make more sense if you know what their names mean.

Hoshiumi Kōrai: I want him to become a shining person.

Hirugami Sachirou: To be happy. [the first Kanji of his name 幸 is the root of the word “happiness” here]

Hakuba Gao: I want him to become an energetic person.

Bessho Kazuyoshi: He inherited one character from each of his parents’ names.

Suwa Aikichi: He inherited one character from his uncle.

Nozawa Izuru: To be able to walk his own path.

Kanbayashi Keiichirou: To be able to become a big person.

Tiny Q&A

Q: Which character did you most enjoy drawing?

Hirugami. Because he doesn’t hesitate.

Q: Was the uniform color meant to evoke seagulls?

YUP.

[this was probably just to fill extra space on the page 😅]

Q: Which character’s post-graduation path did you have the most trouble with?

I didn’t have any trouble.
