Filip calling out Marco in front of everyone in Babylon's Ashes is such a good moment. It sucks how many people shit on Filip as a character. Yeah, he did some really, really bad things (or, at the very least, was extremely complicit in them), but he was still a CHILD who was manipulated from birth by a man he (almost literally) looked up to as a god. (Seriously - look closely at the language in Filip's early POV chapters when he talks about Marco. It's almost Old Testament.) He was given life-and-death responsibility that he lacked the maturity to really even comprehend at his age and was saddled with moral injury that lasted the rest of his life. Seriously, think about the dumb shit YOU said, did, and believed at fifteen, sixteen.

There's no way he didn't know the consequences of standing up to Marco like that, especially in front of other people. I don't really give a shit about the "were they redeemed/weren't they redeemed/can they be redeemed" conversation around fictional characters because redemption is a subjective moral judgment. All I'm saying is that took real courage. And walking away took real courage. And it takes real courage to find an open door when someone else has already shut so many of your doors for you before you even knew they were there.

10 years of Frostbite the White Knight!

November 6th 2014, I made up the Cryogenic White Knight of Seattle and his team of super powered metahumans and demons. They have great threats in their world, their universe, other dimensions, sub-dimensions, and aethereal/non-aethereal plains. And it's only going to grow as I keep working on this idea. This has been my passion project, and will be until I hit the grave. Happy Birthday Frostbite the White Knight. In a few days I will be holding a Raffle for 5 free posters of this design to 5 lucky participants. More info to come.

crushing on you | captains

a/n short headcanons on if the haikyuu captains had a crush on you. not proofread.

characters tetsuro kuroo, daichi sawamura, wakatoshi ushijima, shinsuke kita

masterlist

tetsuro kuroo

you two have been friends since the beginning or high school

he noticied his feelings for you after a bout a year

realizing how much he enjoyed your company and how his heart skipped a beat when you were near

he gets more flirty

making playful comments and constantly teasing you

the way you react confirms his suspicions as to whether you like him back

still takes him a while to put two and two together

you often visit him during practice

but only because he practically begs you to come watch and support him

he does it so he has an excuse to spend time together

he'd try to impress you with his skills

often looking to see if you were watching

becomes more protective than he already is

invites you to his games aswell

makes sure you have a good seat so he can see you cheering him on from the stands

keeps his feelings to himself for a few months

unsure of how to proceed with putting your friendship at risk

he asks kenma for advice

he seems disinterested

but kenma knows you too and thinks the two of you couldn;t e anymore perfect for each other

and encourages kuroo to just take a chance

daichi sawamura

you and daichi have been friends since middle school

bonding during group projects

you two always seemed to end up be paired together

he realized his feelings much later

probably around second year of high school

he noticed how much he relied on your support and how his heart always seemed to flutter at your smile

he's protective ash

he becomes moe playful the closer you two get

he loves telling jokes he knows will make you smile

very attentive to all your needs

tired? he'll take notes for you so you could sleep during class

bored? he'll tell you funny stories about tanaka and nishinoya embarrassing themselves until you don't seem as bored

anything like that

keeps his feelings to himslef for a while

he confides in sugawara who teases him for waiting so long to do anything about his feelings

which leaves him a blushing mess

encourages him that theres nothing to worry about and to just go for it

wakatoshi ushijima

you and ushijima became friends at the start of high school

he just loved how determined and hard working you are

took him a long time to realize his feelings

hes a little dense, not stuopid, and thats okay

he just finally seemed to realized why he felt so different whenever you were around and how much he appreciated your company

he might not notice it but he becomes a tiny bit more reserved and quiet after

observing you from a distance and lowk getting a little flustered whenever youre around

so so so protective

like hes afraid to get too close to you but also doesn't want anyone else to get near you either

you guys have a similar schedule, just switch volleyball for wtv club your interested in, so you two walk from place to place together everyday

he'll send you pictures of little things that remind him of you

not realizing how initimate it usually is

i don't think he keeps it to himself for a while

i think after he figures it out himself he would bring it up with tendo and semi rather sooner than later

the two of them quick to offer any help to confess to you

they think youre the sweetest and a perfect fit for their captain

shinsuke kita

you two have been friends since elementary school

growing up in the same rural area and attending all the same schools

he probably didn't realize his feelings for you until like second or third year of high school

since you often came to games and practices to show your support

it took a lot of teasing from his juniors to finally realize

he's always been attentive and protective

but it reaches a whole new level since he realized his feelings

lowkey becomes more playful

matches your playful personality

which lowk confuses you because he's never acted like this before you think theres something off about him

but he's just nervous

sure he's had crushes before

but your his longest friend, theres something different about this situation than all the rest

he's always checking in on you

asking to spend more time than usual

he feels as if he should keep his feelings in

not wanting to ruin what the two of you have

also because graduation is coming up and he still wants to see you after

doesn't want to ruin the whole friendship if you happened to not feel the same

but his team sees how good you two are for each other and encourages him to take a leap of faith before he even has a chance to ask for their advice

Servamp April Fools' event

Tanaka Strike reposted the event from 2023 that was about voting for characters' abilities/techniques. The first time I didn't look into the the event and I was surprised to see that among the abilities that were listed, there were a few that were revealed later in the manga,  for example Kuro's Wiedergänger (Ashes to ashes, dust to dust) that appeared in chapter 133.

In March 2023, chapter 128 was published, so it was 5 chapters later when the name of the ability was introduced in the story.

For the event, some characters have abilities that were marked as “lies” because they didn't appear in the manga however, Kuro’s ability was marked as a lie but that was actually true after all!

So yeah, Tanaka-sensei was playing with us. xD Abilities have two readings and you'll see that some of them either have one reading which is different or they some readings were assigned to other characters.

Mahiru: “Why is truth and falsehoods mixed in? Only the actual abilities should be voted!

Kuro: “Mahiru…In this world, you can’t survive on truth alone...

Kuro offering words of wisdom xD The abilities that were marked as "lies" have conversations or comments from characters which I translated.

Note: I listed the abilities based on the characters' names in alphabetical order.

GEAR

Mister Violence (Antique clock of night trick)

This is a reference to “Gear of Night Trick” on TanakaBox and that’s why I worded the translation like this. The clock referenced here must be Hlidskjalf. I wrote about it here when I posted chapter 96.

Youtarou: It's not an ability, it's just brute strength, isn't it?

Gear: I'm a wolf so I have no choice. It's a world that's tough to live in for someone like me.

Youtarou: Honestly! You always act like a wolf at times like this!

HYDE

Cute aggression (The Taming Of The Shrew).

Hyde: This is the most powerful ultimate technique that charms everyone! Kyui!

J-just joking...I don't have a technique like that... I'm s-sorry...I said I'm sorry...

JEJE

Mary Magdalene (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring)

In chapter 125 when Jeje was given his name by Mikuni, his contract item was the winding key from the music box that Kiriko gave to Mikuni and I read that fans discovered that the song it was playing was "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"

Jeje: This technique isn't... It's a lie...

KURO

Wiedergänger (Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)

Mahiru: Hey! If you're gonna lie, you should make it sound like it's… obviously a joke, or it'll just confuse people.

Kuro: Yeah...I don't really have a cool technique name. I'm just a humble cat...

LILY

Turandot (None shall sleep) Like I mentioned in the beginning, this is one ability that was given a different reading. The actual one is "The king is absent today as well." "None shall sleep " (Nessun dorma) is an aria from the final act of Turandot.

Mahiru: You had a technique like that?

Lily: Fufufu...Well… you could say it exists, or you could say it doesn't. Reality is such an uncertain thing. You should also be careful.

MISONO

Bridge falling down (The king is absent today as well)

So yeah, it's Misono and Lily that had their ability names switched and were also given different readings. The different reading is most likely a reference to the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down". And we don't have Misono, we have Mikado who comments about the ability xD

Mikado: Didn't Misono have a powerful technique like that?! Did you make it sound like it existed, Dodo?! Dodo: I included it as an option. Mikado: Nice work! Just for today, even a lie is permitted. I can’t believe Misono had only one technique, and it was from ten years ago (in real time)…As a parent I must do behind-the-scenes... Dodo: Young master is already in high-school...It's about time you... Mikado: This is a parent's duty! Should I add another one?!

SAKUYA

I will die yesterday by your side (Five-minute hypothesis theory)

Sakuya used this ability in chapter 139, however in the manga it says five "seconds" not minutes. The first reading sounds weird...Like, I haven't found a reference for it. "To die" is in the present tense even though it says "yesterday", so yeah, it's weird. I expected that it would be the name of a novel but I haven't found anything, so if some of you might have an idea about it, let me know!

Sakuya: I used this ability in the fight against Mahiru, didn’t I? It was such an emotional technique where I self-destructed to protect him. Tsubaki: Have you actually been reading Servamp??

TOUMA

The Beast of Gévaudan (The beast that crawls in a windowless room) (note, for the first part it's actually in French, La bête du Gévaudan)

Touma: What’s the deal with finishing moves? Aren’t you too old for this?

Iori: You're the one that has the most of them though....

Tooru: Shh!

TSUBAKI

Mahoroba (Under the moonlit night, rain and carnage)

Mahoroba isn't something that can be translated. It's a term that refers to an idyllic or perfect place, often associated with paradise or a beautiful land. The dictionary defines it as "great and splendid land (of Yamato)"

The other name of the ability is the title of chapter 84, which I initially translated as "On a moonlit night, rain and bloodshed"

Tsubaki: I don't recall mentioning such a technique name, but it seems okay as it is.

Ultimate Super Wars (Super Ultimate Form-Tsubaki-)

Tsubaki had another ability and when I googled アルティメットスーパーウォーズ a novel, I assume, showed up but I couldn't find much about it. Based on the cover of the book, I thought it was adapted based on a videogame but I didn't find a game with that title, so yeah, the name of the ability might not be related to it. Regarding these kanji 津薔鬼, they spell Tsubaki.

Tsubaki: Are there people who actually call me by such uncool name?

Get ready for an awesome technique in the next issue! Or perhaps the one after that.

YUMIKAGE

Valkyrie Brunhilde (Swan Lake)

Yumikage: This is actually my brother's...But I have many cool name ideas for my own abilities.

I've never liked r!Ciel. I think he's a spoiled brat (and I reflected that heavily in my fic). But these two panels here sealed the deal for me.

NOBODY said that to Sebby! Not even o!Ciel, who is his true master, ever said that to him.

Sure, sure, he could be an annoying bastard sometimes, but he's MY bastard (well, he belongs to o!Ciel, really, but you get my point). Look at how the others reacted to that. The rest of the servants were horrified, and even Tanaka looked... disappointed? He definitely didn't approve of r!Ciel's attitude.

"Your parents taught you better than this." - Tanaka (perhaps).

And the second one...

Sebastian looks really upset here, which was very rare. In fact, as others have pointed out, he showed a whole range of emotions during this encounter (but I'm not going to dwell on that).

My point here is, r!Ciel was wrong! His manor, the place where he grew up in, was no more. It has burned to the ground. He's the master of what house??

This one is actually Sebastian's house. He built this one out of the ashes of the previous manor for his young master. The house belongs to Sebastian and o!Ciel is the master of the house.

To further prove this, look at what Sebastian has said. He talked as if this was his home because it is his home and he's just trying to protect his home.

Nishinoya x (tall) reader

(Name) has a crush on noya and before practice (name) made noya homemade baked goods and has it nicely gift wrapped and starts walking to the gym to hand him the box and say a silly pick up line however the more he walks towards noya the more nervous (name) gets and when he does he just shoved the box to noya while saying “take the thing take it” and runs off but not too long coach ukai is dragging the reader by the back of the shirt cause coach ukai thought (name) was trying to get out of practice and it doesn’t help the others saw the train wreck of a confession and maybe tanaka is like “ooooh someone has a crush on you noya” but gets “accidentally” hit by a volleyball

(P.s I enjoy reading your writing it’s really good)

This was so much fun to write honestly. Enjoy! Also thank you! I enjoy writing!

The Tsukishima twins were in all honesty, complete opposites. While the older twins stoic and sometimes rude, the younger twin was shy and an absolute angel. Although they were opposites they were extremely close.

It was rare when you'd see one without the other. (Name) could usually be seen following his older brother around like a lost puppy. Since he had an absolute poor sense of direction. They were also very protective of each other. Especially since (Name) would get teased a lot over his shyness.

The only thing the twins got along for, was volleyball. While the older twin was a middle blocker, the younger twin was more of an all round player. (Name) could play almost any position. Though he mostly played wing spiker or libero, since his brother was a middle blocker, and their childhood friend was a setter.

(Name) had always played the position that was needed, no questions asked. Though he always thought that he didn't belong in the libero position, due to his tall height. That was before he met the Guardian Deity of Karasuno.

"Wow!" (Name) flinched at the loud yell. Turning he was met with a short male with black hair. His front end bleached. The male had stars in his eyes ashe stared at the youngest Tsukishima.

"Are you a libero too?!" (Name) shyly looked down and shrugged. "I-I play whatever position is needed. B-But I don't do libero much...cause of m-my height." (Name) looked away playing with his fingers.

"What's wrong with your height?" (Name) looked up surprised. The talking surrounding them silenced. "W-Well I'm too t-tall to play libero." The male didn't say anything back only walking closer to him. When (Name) looked at him. He was blown away.

The male had his thumb pointed at his chest. Standing proud. "In the libero position height doesn't matter!" (Name)'s eyes widened. "As long as you save the ball, and keep the game in motion. You can be a libero no matter your height!"

It felt like the air had been knocked out of (Name)'s lungs. It looked like heaven was shinning down on the smaller male. He looked like an Angel to him. (Name) blushed deeply and had fainted. That was his introduction to the official libero of Karasuno.

After that (Name) would shyly ask his senpai for pointers, and would ask him if he'd help him get better. It didn't take long for Kei to figure out his brother had a crush. It was easy for him to spot. But to others? No way. They just thought (Name) was idolizing Nishinoya.

So when (Name) vocalized he might confess to his upperclassmen, his twin told him to go for it. So (Name) did the one thing he loves to do the most. He baked some pastries. Hoping Nishinoya will like them. If not (Name) might legitimately cry, and honestly the older twin didn't want to see that.

So when (Name) was double checking the box, walking to practice. He was going over which pick-up line to use. As he got closer and closer to the gym, he couldn't help but get more and more nervous. It only got worse as he actually entered the gym. Seeing the sun shine down on the male.

Seeing how he was smiling and laughing with Tanaka-senpai made the poor male short circuit. Noya and Tanaka turned and stared at him. (Name) blushed brightly and shoved the box into Noya's arms. "T-Take the thing! Take it!" Then he fled.

On his way out, (Name) ran right by the coach. Who immediately grabbed the male by his shirt collar. Then started lecturing him about skipping practice. But (Name) wasn't even listening. He was too busy trying to hide from everyone.

Cause he knows they all saw his failure of a confession. He thought that the moment couldn't get anymore. He was wrong. Tanaka watchd over his bestfriends shoulder and saw the many home-baked goods. He immediately started laughing.

Making poor (Name) more embarrassed. Who hid behind his fuming twin. "Ohhhh~ somebody's gotta crush on Noya!" Tanaka laughed more. But before he could saying anything else the older Tsukishima "accidently" served a volleyball onto the back of Tanaka's head.

"Oops. Sorry senpai."
