Anybody want some Haikyu!! party headcannons?

‘Course you do, here have these *shoves my Headcannons out of my notes app*

For context clues, anytime I say “idiots three” I’m referring to Tanaka, Noya, and Hinata.

NO ALOCHOL. THEY’RE UNDERAGE. It’s just punch.

• Daichi is just vibing honestly. He dances, he chats with people, he enjoys his punch, he keeps an eye on the idiots three but mostly leaves them alone. He and Suga sometimes have dance battles. He also keeps an eye on Asahi and makes sure he’s okay, and sometimes tag teams with Suga to try and get Asahi out of the corner to come dance. • Speaking of dance battles, sometimes they’re serious, sometimes it’s a competition to see who can goof off worse. They’re a staple of any parties for the Karasuno team, and they all take their responsibilities as judges very seriously. Tanaka and Noya stopped speaking for a day because they disagreed on who won until Coach Ukai yelled at them to get it together.

• Suga is always dancing. Always. He might be talking to someone, but he’s still swaying to the music and bopping his head. And he’s really good at dancing! He divides his time between vibing with the idiots three, hanging out with Daichi, and trying to coax Asahi into joining the fun. • Addition: The first time someone new (first years, other teams they’re hanging out with, etc.) get to see Suga dance they’re usually surprised, and he just gives them the most smug chesire cat smile ever and continues on his merry little way, happily lost in the next song as soon as he turns around.

• Asahi stands in the corner with a drink and talks to people. He hangs with Tsukki a lot, so it’s usually a lot of talking at Tsukki tbh, but sometimes other team memebers will come chat with him. He always tries to hide when Suga and Daichi get that look on their faces and start coming his way, because he does not want to dance. They might get him for one, and then he goes right back to hanging with Tsukki, who thinks it’s funny.

• Noya is alternating between actually dancing, goofing off with Tanaka, and jumping around with Hinata while screaming lyrics at the top of his lungs. • Noya strikes me as someone who would have learned bits and pieces of hip-hop and breakdancing but only pulls his knowledge out at a legit party, so then people forget until the next party.

• Tanaka bothered Kiyoko for a bit and then gave in and went to hang out with Noya and Hinata. He also can dance, but only knows a few moves, so he spends more time goofing off or keeping an eye on Kiyoko. • Really wants a slow (re: breather) song to come on so he can go get Kiyoko to dance with him.

• Ennoshita is also keeping an eye on the idiots three because he’s prepared to step in if he thinks he needs to. He’s for the most part pretty relaxed and just kinda hanging out in the “tall, dark, and introverted” corner with Kageyama and Kiyoko. He’s also keeping tabs on Kinoshita and Narita as they record the party.

• Kinoshita and Narita are just chilling and running around with a phone so they can record their friends. They take breaks in between to kinda bop around for a song or two, and then they go back to recording. They especially like to record the idiots three, who have the tendency to do ridiculous things like attempt the lift from Dirty Dancing. • Narita likes dancing and is happy to just vibe, but recording the party is also fun and it seems more Kinoshita’s speed, so he’s going along with it. • Kinoshita would rather record the party and make fun of Tanaka and Noya than dance, but he can dance, and will as long as Narita dances too so he doesn’t “look stupid alone”

• Kageyama is watching the idiots three and wishing he actually knew how to dance so he could join them because they look like they’re having fun. Instead he settles for being on guard duty with Kiyoko and Ennoshita because he’s too awkward to ask someone to teach him and everybody else just kinda assumes he isn’t interested. • Suga does eventually start teaching him after Kiyoko says something to him, and he apologizes for not stepping in earlier saying if he knew Kageyama wanted to learn he’d have been thrilled to teach him. Kageyama is just happing he’s getting to learn now tbh.

• Hinata is jumping around shouting lyrics, admiring the others’ dancing, or he’s watching Tanaka and Noya do the Dirty Dancing lift. • He can’t dance. Noya’s working on it.

• When Tsukki isn’t acting as DJ, he stands in the corner with a cup of punch and judges everyone. He does not dance other than the occasional subtle head bop. He tends to keep an eye on Yams just to make sure he’s doing alright, and he lets Asahi talk at him, but that’s about it. He snickered every time Daichi and Suga come to drag Asahi out of the corner, until he narrowly dodged Noya’s attempt to do the same to him. Now he’s slightly more sympathetic and only snickers on the inside.

• Yamaguchi is vibing with a drink and talking with Yachi. They kinda dance together (but not together together) off to the side where they won’t be noticed. He’s actually enjoying himself!

• Kiyoko is hanging out with Kageyama and Ennoshita, just standing off to the side by the drink table together. She doesn’t feel comfortable with the idea of dancing in front of the others, so she’s just people watching. It’s nice that Ennoshita and Kageyama aren’t talking, so she doesn’t either. • Kiyoko suspects Kageyama wants to learn to dance and eventually pulls Suga aside and says something to him. • Also she actively avoids Tanaka when slower songs come on by mysteriously disappearing to go refill the punch bowl.

And last but not least!

• Yachi is vibing with Yamaguchi and dancing a little. She’s shy, but so is he, so they’re off to the side somewhere people won’t really notice them. She’s also keeping tabs on both the idiots three and Kiyoko.

Bonus thought: When Tanaka and Noya do the Dirty Dancing lift (they pull it off flawlessly by the way) Daichi is torn between scolding them and running over to try the same thing with Hinata. Suga eggs him on and he gives in and sprints over, much to the chagrin of Ennoshita, who was going to yell at Tanaka and Noya until he saw the look on Daichi’s face. (Daichi and Hinata also pull it off, albeit a little sketchily, after multiple tries and zero help from Noya and Tanaka.)

one thing i have to really appreciate about haikyuu is its restraint in narrative framing. it makes the anime soooo rewarding to re-watch. what i mean is that your typical shounen is rather heavy-handed when tying up narrative threads, sometimes over-saturating its climactic moments with flashbacks to make 1000% sure the audience doesn't miss the influence of past events and themes. and don't get me wrong, haikyuu certainly has these moments, and usually uses them to great impact (though i do take issue with how many times we had to see that flashback of ukai saying "don't underestimate what it takes to be a ball boy" in s4). but in a lot of other shows, if it doesn't have a flashing signpost screaming to you that it's important, it's not. haikyuu still leaves a lot for us to find - stuff that isn't particularly emphasized but is too consistent and well-aligned not to have been fully intentional and meaningful. i am continuously impressed by furudate's thoroughness; there is not a single thing in this story that is purely incidental, and the diverse cast is so well utilized. whenever character growth is occurring, the supporting cast for that arc is meticulously chosen.

i just re-watched the mini arc where kinoshita fumbles his chance to have a hero moment on court, and all of the narrative focus goes to noya's shout-out after kinoshita's sideline support spurs him into action just in time to nail his receive. which was great! fine. BUT what i found equally compelling despite the fact that it just kind of breezed past was the moment kinoshita returned to the bench, and suga wouldn't let him sulk because he would have more chances. it's so important that it was suga to say this, as we saw him all the way back in s1 lamenting his limited time left on court. he's the only third-year that isn't a regular because he just can't compete with genius setter kageyama tobio, which is kind of a sad last hurrah. but we watch him make peace with this situation; suga knows more than anyone else that the only thing you can do from here is relish every moment you get on the court and look forward to the next chance. and this parallel resonates in a way that strengthens kinoshita's own conflict. the fact that they made a callback to his quiet little arc THREE WHOLE SEASONS LATER with no fanfare whatsoever is insane. but also *chef's kiss* impeccably tasteful imo. and that's just one small example. honestly, i'm trying to focus on a different character's perspective every time i revisit, and every time, it leads me to completely new revelations about the cast's silent growth throughout the series, especially those that don't wear their hearts on their sleeves.

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.

A Bullet Train oc who I keep telling myself to draw but I keep forgetting!! Here's The Fly! His whole thing is that he's the best in the business if you need someone to get information on a target for you. With his boring look and quiet demeanor, his victims never even realize they've been followed >:)

[ginkovskij]

thank you kinoshita-san

[viridiave]

I got curious and looked up the Gokuto Jihen mangas and it's like the most whiplash I've ever gotten looking at supplementary material

The game is this gritty exploration of Maki's self-loathing and the nature of sin and then they hit me with the manga extras and it's the most wholesome shit ever?? Kirishima is adorable hello???

HAIKYUU SEXUALITY HEADCANONS

🐦‍⬛ Karasuno Editon 🐦‍⬛

Sawamura Daichi: Bisexual with the slightest female preference. Obviously he somewhat likes girls already in canon (The Kiyoko hand holding scene anyone???) And he just seems like the kind of man who could fall in love with another man if he found the right one. (cough*KUROO*cough). I could also see him being a straight but supportive ally as well.

Sugawara Koushi: Pansexual. He just gives off the vibe of not caring at all about the gender of his partner. He just wants to give love and receive just as much love right back.

Azumane Asahi: Pansexual. I am honestly not quite sure why I headcanon him as such, it just feels RIGHT for some reason.

Nishinoya Yuu: Pansexual. Similarly to Sugawara, I feel like Nishinoya cares little about the gender of his partner, my man just trying to be in a relationship without blowing a fuse from embarrassment every five seconds.

Tanaka Ryuunosuke: Bisexual with a heavy female preference. Obviously Tanaka likes girls, crush and eventual relationship with Kiyoko notwithstanding, he'll take any girl that gives him the time of day. But Tanaka/Noya and Ennoshita/Tanaka have my heart in a headlock so yeah self explanatory.

Ennoshita Chikara: Bisexual with no preference. He's definitely had crushes on girls, hell he's had a tiny puppy crush on Kiyoko at one point. But then he sees Kinoshita Hisashi for the first time and goes "huh so this is what going to heaven feels like–"

Kinoshita Hisashi: Gay. Look my Kinoshita Hisashi profile picture in the eyes and tell me you think he would like anything but men. Narita unintentionally has his heart in a death grip.

Narita Kazuhito: Bisexual with a slight male preference. I feel like Narita has had crushes on and even dated girls when he was younger. Then he met Ennoshita and Kinoshita in his first year and his brain took a swan dive into LGBT territory. He's had a small crush on Ennoshita that lasted like a week, then he saw Kinoshita laughing without restraint for the first time, and he hasn't had another crush since.

Kageyama Tobio: Bisexual with no preference. Contrary to popular belief, I think that Kageyama has the capacity to crush on girls. Not even his "volleyball is life" brain can deny Kiyoko's beauty. But his relationship with Hinata is where the capacity to love boys come from.

Hinata Shoyo: Pansexual. Loves anyone and anything that gives him the time of day. His heart is very big.

Tsukishima Kei: Aromantic Asexual. I just don't see him liking anyone at all. He just wants to survive high school and play volleyball that's literally it. The only person on the team who is immune to Kiyoko's beauty.

Yamaguchi Tadashi: Pansexual. Similarly to Hinata, I see him as having a lot of love to give.

Shimizu Kiyoko: Straight Asexual. Eheh. I'm definitely getting canceled for this... But I just don't see her as being interested in girls at all. Her and Tanaka have a special place in my heart. As for the asexual part, purely vibes.

[incorrect-mltd-quotes]

Nao: We’ve been duped! Konomi: Duped?! Hinata: Bamboozled! Tamaki: We’ve been smeckledorfed! Nao: That’s not even a word and I agree with you!

I gotta do more with the government workers band au
