K(enma): Oh. Okay.

Rewatching Haikyuu and wanted to draw him, sorry! It was pretty hard, but I worked quickly. Thank you for the kind words on my last Kagehina post!

[maxwh33l]

my fave silly haikyuu hcs !!! side note: these are my personal headcanons and opinions. if anything is disrespectful or anything like that please let me know.

bokuaka own a blu budgie together n it loves playing in bokutos spiky hair. it also likes sitting on akaashis glasses and chews on his paperwork sometimes (he gets in trouble for it BAHAHAHHA)

T4T TSUKIYAMA yamz came out to tsukishima first around a year after they started dating (tsukishima cried)

tsukishima info dumps to yamaguchi about dinosaurs and sea creatures so much to the point yamaguchi gained a dinosaur hyperfixation from tsukishima (he still has it)

yachi hyperfixates on birds and she info dumps sometimes when helping hinata and kageyama study (hinata hyperfixated on birds after for a while)

auhd kagehina (hinata adhd kags autism :)

hinata gets new hyperfixations and rants/info dumps to kageyama. he always goes back to hyperfixating volleyball though, either way.

sometimes the first years have sleepovers together and sometimes all they do is watch documentaries on their hyperfixations (i wanna draw this so badly omg). hinata kageyama and tsukishima argue about what to watch first all the time (tsukishima always ends up choosing first)

one time when the first years had a sleepover hinata wanted to bake and they almost burnt tsukishimas house down

whenever they hang out its usually at tsukishima or yachi's place

poly karasuno 3rd yrs (asahi suga daichi kiyoko isnt a part of this cus of yachi)

when karasuno has practice matches kiyoko and yachi talk together most of the time and kiyoko listens to yachi info dump :3

when kenma and kuroo get into an arguement kuroo apologizes by either making kenma apple tarts or apple pie or plays a game with him. kenma apologizes by letting kuroo choose what they watch at movie night for the next two weeks.

on special occasions like oikawas birthday, valentines day, their anniversary, iwaizumi bakes oikawa milk bread!!

thats all :D holy shit this is long as FUCK.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just stumbled upon both Haikyuu!! and your blog/art. I’m completely entranced by your Kagehina drawings, particularly the AU where Hinata gets bullied and Kageyama comforts him. Do you write at all? Are you ever planning on turning it into a fic? I’d absolutely love to read it and just need to know if I’m getting my hopes up for nothing. 😅

Hello! Sorry it took me so long to answer your question, I quit drawing for some time and avoided my social network accounts because of that. I'm very glad you like my AU! I was going to write a big story about the boys and I have a lot of ideas I wanted to put in it, but recently I think I wont have such inspiration or energy to do it, I didn't practice writing for ages. But who knows, maybe one day…

[endstation-sehnsucht]

dont let your late night thoughts shatter you.

painted for and with words provided by dear natsu (on twitter) for her kagehina big band 2022 work “losing is winning” ... which is an amazing read with great takes on many characters. especially the way she wrote kageyama... well, you should go read it yourself. ♥

ID under the cut.

[Image Description: Two digital drawings next to each other. The left side pictures Hinata Shouyou from Haikyuu, shown until the end of his running shorts. Hinata is drawn in all black and white, having his back slightly turned to the viewer, so the big 10 on the back of his jersey is visible. He has his face turned to the viewer and smiles wide, eyes closed. His left arm is streched towards the viewer, as if he’s offering the volleyball in it to someone. The background is light orange, distrupted by white lines that cross the image like shattered glass. Between the lines, some of his thoughts are written in big white letters, such as: “I don’t want to lose anymore” or “I’ll make my dream come true”. The right side pictures Kageyama Tobio from Haikyuu, standing back to back with Hinata on the other picture. He is drawn the same way, all black/white and in his jersey, but keeping the volleyball in his hands to himself, close to the side of his body that’s tuned away from the viewer. He looks at the viewer, a stern and uncontent look on his face. His background is blue, crossed by white fracture lines as well. Between the lines, it says in big white letters things like: “They will abandon me”, “I should have known this would happen” or “I won’t have nightmares”.]

In Which Yachi Ships Kagehina _ Edited

So I changed the first kiss scene in my most popular work b/c it was actually really problematic. Yikes, dunno what I was thinking. Mea culpa. Excerpt below or read the full work here. ***

The vice-like grip of Kageyama’s arms loosens when he falls asleep, so Hinata is able to un-smush his face from the setter's chest. He doesn’t want to pull away too much… Just enough so that he can look up at Kageyama. 

His setter looks different in sleep. The deep vertical frown line that seemed to be permanently etched between his eyebrows is absent. It makes his face look oddly smooth and soft. Hinata likes it. 

He wriggles one arm out of Kageyama’s grasp. His setter stirs but doesn’t wake. Hinata raises his hand to Kageyama’s face. Slowly, delicately, he touches a single finger to that spot where the frown line used to be. Kageyama hums in his sleep and Hinata feels something flutter in his chest. 

He finds himself smiling. Just a small smile that tugs at the corners of his mouth. Pulling his hand away from Kageyama’s face, he touches his fingers to his own lips, feeling the smile there. Then his eyes go to Kageyama's lips.

They're relaxed, not twisted in a scowl. It makes Kageyama look so peaceful. So... sweet.

Hinata finds himself leaning closer to those lips... They feel magnetic. Like they’re drawing him in. They make him wanna... wanna... 

Hinata gasps. In a panicked flurry of limbs, he pushes himself off of Kageyama, tumbles feet over head, and lands hard on his butt.  

Kageyama grunts. Hinata freezes. His heart pounds furiously in his chest as the setter stirs... and sits up, rubbing his eyes. 

“What is it now, dumbass?” Kageyama sighs. 

Hinata shakes his head so furiously he thinks he might break his neck. “N-nothing! Nothing happened! I didn’t—I’m totally not—Nothing, it’s nothing, nothing’s going on!” 

Kageyama’s brow furrows in confusion. And then a flicker of concern enters his eyes. “... Are you okay?” 

Hinata flushes. “Yes! Yes of course. Why wouldn’t I be? Nothing... nothing weird happened...” Nothing weird happened. He totally didn’t just experience a surge of desire to kiss Kageyama. Why would he even want to do that? That would be... ridiculous... That could mess everything up. No. Hinata totally doesn’t want to kiss Kageyama. Totally, totally not... 

Kageyama is still frowning at him and Hinata is not mourning the loss of that smooth, relaxed brow he had during his sleep. He’s not fighting the urge to crawl towards Kageyama and take his face in his hands and kiss away the frown lines...

“Did you have a nightmare or something?” Kageyama asks. His voice is low and concerned. It makes Hinata’s heart hiccup in his chest. 

“Wh-what?” he stammers breathlessly. 

Kageyama scratches awkwardly behind his ear. “It’s okay if you did,” he says. “You don't have to be embarrassed or anything. I, um, sometimes have nightmares too.”  

Hinata’s heart somersaults. 

Damn. Dammit. Why is Kageyama picking now of all times to be all weird and mushy and sweet? As if it wasn’t bad enough to watch him sleep so sweetly and peacefully... This is just really, really messing with his head...

Kageyama coughs. His eyes shift to the side. “Um. If it would help, you can...” Kageyama opens his arms and sort of gestures at his own chest. “Come back here. If you want.” 

Hinata squawks. He feels the blood rushing to his face. And then he feels the terror closing in on his throat. Kageyama must know. He must be making fun of him. That’s why he’s inviting Hinata to cuddle. He’s mocking him. He knows Hinata wants to kiss him and now he’s mocking him... 

“Shut up, Bakageyama,” Hinata croaks. He hopes Kageyama can’t hear the quiver in his voice. “You’re so stupid!”

Kageyama blinks. And then, anger hardens across his face. “What the hell, dumbass,” Kageyama hisses. “I’m just trying to help you.” 

Hinata feels his own anger flare up. It’s easier to be angry than afraid and overwhelmed and distraught and a hundred other emotions that he isn’t prepared to deal with right now. 

“No you’re not!” Hinata shouts, his fists clenching. “You’re just being stupid!” He hates how uncreative his insults are right now, but it’s hard to be creative when you feel like your heart is climbing up your throat and plugging your airways. When you feel like the gym floor has been ripped out from underneath you and suddenly there’s the threat of everything, everything changing, everything collapsing... Hinata feels tears welling up in his eyes. He blinks them away before they have a chance to spill over. “Just leave me alone, Bakageyama.” 

Kageyama’s nostrils flare. “Fine! God, you’re so annoying!” 

“You’re annoying!” 

“Shut your stupid face, I’m going to sleep!” 

“Me too! So shut your stupid face!” 

Kageyama casts him a final glare, then lies back down on the floor and rolls over, turning his back to Hinata. 

And that’s when Hinata allows the tears to spill over.

***

Kageyama grits his teeth as he curls in on himself. 

That stupid dumbass.. He was just trying to be nice. Kageyama knows he isn’t very good at being nice, but he was trying. What did Hinata go and get all pissy at him for? Stupid idiot, stupid dumbass...

Kageyama tries not to be concerned about him. Tries not to wonder what kind of horrible nightmare had Hinata flying into a panic in the middle of the night like that. He tries to shut his eyes and go to sleep... 

And then he hears snuffling sounds. 

Kageyama’s eyes fly open. For a moment, he just lies there, frozen, waiting to see if he’ll hear it again. When he does, his heart cracks. 

For a brief second, Kageyama wrestles with himself. Hinata has made it very clear that he doesn’t want Kageyama to try to comfort him. He should really just ignore him. Just let the idiot cry himself to sleep... 

The brief second is over. 

Kageyama gets up and is before Hinata in an instant. Pulling the idiot against his chest, tucking his head over his, squeezing him tight, tight, tight... 

Hinata breaks apart and sobs, his fingers grasping at Kageyama’s shirt and hanging on for dear life. “I—I’m sorry,” he stammers in between hiccups. “I promise I can ignore it. I didn’t even know I w-wanted to before tonight so I can t-totally ignore it. Things can go back to n-normal. I promise. Just don’t stop s-setting to me. And p-please don’t stop eating lunch with me either or w-walking with me to s-school or p-practising with me extra... I p-promise, things can just be n-normal...” 

“Dumbass, what are you even talking about?” Kageyama murmurs into Hinata's hair. He has no idea what Hinata is going on about, but this is obviously some kind of mental breakdown after a nightmare. Kageyama will comfort him. He'll comfort him, he'll hold him until he stops crying...

“It was just one time!” Hinata wails, burying his face in Kageyama’s shirt. “I only wanted to kiss you one time!” 

Kageyama’s body goes stiff with shock. Hinata continues wailing and stammering hysterical words. But Kageyama can’t hear him anymore. He can only heart those last words, ringing over and over again in his mind, like a tape recording of an opposing player’s serve that he’s set on loop to study.

I only wanted to kiss you one time... 

I only wanted to kiss you one time...

Hinata wanted to kiss him?? When?? How had he missed this?? How could he possibly have missed this when he’d been pining after Hinata this whole damnable year?? 

Hinata is banging his head against Kageyama’s chest now and sobbing something incoherent. Kageyama grabs him by the shoulders and holds him at arm's length. “When?” he demands breathlessly.

Hinata blinks, his wet eyelashes fluttering and shedding tear droplets. “Wh-what?” 

“When did you want to kiss me?”

Do you still want to? Can I convince you to still want to? Do I have a hope after all...?   

Hinata tilts his head. “You mean, you didn’t know? But... why did you suggest we snuggle then?” 

“Dammit, Hinata,” Kageyama groans. It’s half exasperated, half desperate. “I have absolutely no freaking clue what you’re talking about. When did you want to kiss me?” 

Hinata’s gaze shifts to the side. He clears his throat. “Um. I was just joking.” 

Kageyama lets out a sound like someone being strangled to death. No. No he is not letting the turd-face get away with that. 

“Hinata!" he shouts, shaking the dumbass like a rag doll. “I have wanted to kiss you every second of every day for this whole freaking year so if you want to kiss me too you’d better TELL me and if you don’t you’d better also tell me or I’m just going to DO it, I’m just going to kiss your stupid face!!” 

Hinata is gawking at him. His eyes are practically hanging out of their sockets and his jaw appears to have come completely unhinged. “Wh... Whaaaat?” 

That’s not an answer. That’s not a freaking answer and Kageyama is losing his freaking marbles, he needs to get away from Hinata now or he really is just going to kiss him, and Hinata still hasn’t said he wants that so he can’t, he can’t...

Kageyama shoves Hinata away from him and jumps to his feet. He’s ready to run—forgetting for a moment that they’re locked in here and there’s nowhere to run to—but Hinata tackles him from behind. Kageyama’s legs buckle and he face-plants. Hinata lands on top of him, flat against his back, knocking all the air out of him. 

“D-dumbass!” Kageyama wheezes. 

“Why did you want to kiss me?” Hinata demands, his mouth at Kageyama’s ear. 

Kageyama screeches. He’s so done. He’s so, so done. 

“BECAUSE I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU IDIOT!!”

He’s in love with him. He’s so, so in love with him and he’s so, so done , he can’t even care, can’t even be afraid about declaring a secret that he’s spent the entire year guarding with his life...

“Oh.” Hinata’s declaration is soft. “Huh. Well that changes things.” Kageyama has no idea what that means. 

He has no idea what it means when Hinata just stays there, lying on top of Kageyama’s back, for several silent seconds. 

He has no idea what it means when Hinata finally gets up and offers him a hand. 

No idea what it means when Kageyama takes the hand and Hinata helps him to his feet, their eyes locked on each other and their breaths held. 

But he does know what it means when Hinata says: “I guess we’d better kiss each other then.”  Read the full fic on ao3

Hello!!

I keep thinking about your new kagehina fic often when i read manga and see some slice of life scenes. How picturesque your writing was, makes me wanna explore historical fiction. Your writing is immaculate.

Do you have any future projects in haikyuu or any other pairing you still think of exploring? I see you are into one piece now.. I'm curious if you have anything you want to write abt the series

Haha hope I'm not prying a lot. Just your new ideas are very exciting to look forward to.

Hi, anon! :D Thank you so, so much!!!! I know a lot of people don't read historical fantasy!AUs, so I'm forever grateful for you indulging my writing experiments! And don't apologize, I love getting asks, no matter the topic! :D

For future projects for Haikyuu!!, I still have the second part of the historical fantasy!AU to finish drafting before I ran out of brain juice, but right now I'm itching to write a fic about Yachi and Yamaguchi. Not as a ~romantic pair~ or anything like that, but I wanted to explore them and their relationship as two people who grew up not to be involved in volleyball in the same capacity Tsukishima, Kageyama and Hinata were, if you know what I mean? I have a general idea of how the story will go in my head, though I really need to sit down and... outline the whole thing otl.

*cries* I badly want to write for One Piece too, about the dynamics within the Straw Hat crew specifically! I already have a gazillion ideas but none of the confidence to finish and post them. Luffy's proving to be one of the hardest characters to write about. I don't think I'll succeed in translating his character into words *head on the wall, wails in despair* like gosh, these are the times I wish I'm capable of drawing the scenes in my head instead of writing them down.

[monstrsball]

okay. giving the people what they want.

iwaoisuga cinematic universe relationship web. (<- link to the actual page so you can get a closer look since this screenshot is really shitty)

honestly, i don't even know if i'd consider this done. i'll probably go back and edit things again eventually.

KEY:

RED = dating/married/etc PINK = whatever kagehina have going on YELLOW = best friends PURPLE = close friends ORANGE = workout buddies GREEN = related BLUE = uh. not friends, not enemies, secret third thing. BLACK = i THINK this was bc i was undecided on what i was going to make sakuatsu's relationship. and well. i'm still undecided so it's pending.

NOTES:

workout buddies gets its own line because i think iwaizumi deciding to workout with someone is a Big Deal. he is very picky.

could not find a way to connect them without making the web even more cluttered than it already is but kanoka and iwaizumi are friends! i probably would have made them workout buddies specifically.

suga is friends with mattsun and makki too, i just didn't want to draw lines between them.

oikawa is friends with bokuto too & ushijima is friends with daichi, kuroo, & bokuto. i just didn't want to draw lines between them either (same reason i didn't draw lines for kanoka and iwa). captains squad rights.

i forgot to draw lines between suna and arankita. they are all friends. (i did go back in and edit the page, i just didn't want to take another screenshot)

ushiiwa are also exes!! cali ushiiwa fling is real in my heart. and in this universe. i'm debating whether i want to make sugaten exes too. (because i think it'd be funny)

oihina brazil fling is very up in the air, i'm still sorting out the timeline for this universe.

i think that's it? i will elaborate on any of these if you want me to!!! just send an ask :) some of these do have lore. (but some are also just me going 'i think they're neat')

@eurydicees @kanoyachi @salad-storm (tagging because you expressed interest, hi <3)

hey remember when i said i was going to make a relationships web for the iwaoisuga universe that exists in my mind. what if i finished it.
