YESSSSSS GOING INSANE GOING FERAL

IWAIZUMI AS HALF-INDIAN HEADCANNONS

- Iwaizumi’s mother is from Delhi, India. She grew up in the capital city and had a shop of hand woven clothing with her family when she was young. 

 - His father was a tourist visiting India and that’s how he met Iwaizumi’s mother. 

-When Iwaizumi was little,  his classmates would make fun of him for not being fully Japanese. They would tease his darker skin color, his faint Indian accent when speaking Japanese, the Indian food his mom would put in his bento. Oikawa defended him, and that’s how they became friends. 

-  Oikawa would take a piece of paratha from Iwaizumi’s bento every now and then. His mother cooks really well and Oikawa enjoys eating her food. -Iwaizumi gets Oikawa to try his maternal grandmother’s naan bread that he cooked (because Oikawa eats way too much milk bread; he should broaden his tastes). 

-Alongside Godzilla, baby Iwaizumi loved Krrish (it’s an Indian superhero movie I used to love, don’t judge me) He would always watch the movies. He looked up to him and wanted to be strong like him. He dressed up as Krrish one Halloween night and Oikawa thought his costume looked cool. 

- Iwaizumi got Oikawa into Bollywood movies when they were younger. Even when they’re older, Oikawa still likes watching Bollywood movies (w/ subs) with him. He likes the cheesy repetitive romance movies, while Iwaizumi prefers the action movies.

 - Oikawa considers three people to be more beautiful than himself; his mother, his sister, and Iwaizumi’s mother. 

- Iwaizumi’s mother always wears the prettiest sarees and suits . Her thick, black hair reaches her waist and she keeps it in a long pony. Her dark skin is shiny because she does a maalish (oil massage) on her body before taking a bath. She did this technique with Iwaizumi when he was a baby, and his skin shines too. 

- Iwaizumi’s hair is thicker and softer than Oikawa’s because he puts oil in his hair before washing it. This technique is common among Indian people for thicker hair.

- Whenever the Seijoh volleyball team goes on long trips for away games, Iwaizumi wears super comfortable kurta pajamas because they’re more comfortable than the track suit. 

- Along with Japanese, Iwaizumi is fluent in Hindi and English, which are the languages spoken in Delhi. - Iwaizumi always goes to festivals with Oikawa, but he also ALWAYS makes time for his mother. They’ll have small Holi and Diwali celebrations in their backyard with Oikawa’s family invited. Iwaizumi is glad to see his mother smiling since she’s always homesick. 

- Iwaizumi and his father plan for her family to come visit Japan from Delhi since she misses them a lot. It eventually happens. His mother starts crying at the surprise but she is so happy and she showers her son and husband with kisses. 

- His mother’s side of the family is incredibly large. Lots of uncles, aunties, and cousins of all ages. The baby cousins try to befriend Oikawa’s nephew, Takeru, but they don’t understand Japanese and he doesn’t understand Hindi. Good thing Iwaizumi is their translator and they end up playing a great game of cricket together. 

- Iwaizumi calls Oikawa his ‘jaan’ (meaning: Life. A Hindi word which is a term of endearment you call someone who completes you) because they are platonic soulmates. Oikawa doesn’t understand the word one bit but he just tells Iwa-chan he loves him, too. 

- Iwaizumi has probably hit Oikawa with the ‘chappal’ (slipper worn at home) at least once.

 - Iwaizumi and Oikawa eventually go on a trip to America. Some asshole tells Iwaizumi “You’re not Asian, you’re Indian”. Iwaizumi punches them in the face. (as he should)
