[stellar-haikyuu]

honestly, what cemented ennoshita as my top fave hq character was that he became a physical therapist.

initially, i loved him a lot because his story of running away but coming back to face it all resonated with me. also he's really cute hehe. however, i have a lot of love for allied health/rehab professionals and what they do. it's not easy, despite what some people may think.

for context, i'm a speech-language pathology student. i frequently meet other physical therapy and occupational therapy students, and i really respect what they do (physical therapists, in particular, because i still struggle to wrap my head around all the kinds of things under their scope).

so, when i saw "ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist" i downright screamed in joy at the allied health representation, and how fitting it is for ennoshita to be in that field.

"ah, he's pretty dedicated to his job, huh?" I KNOW IT'S JUST ONE LINE BUT 😭 i admire service-oriented people driven by genuine love, and ennoshita is just THAT. to him, it's not being flashy or getting something in return. he will stay committed and do his best to be reliable.

furthermore, ennoshita is amazing at reading and understanding people. that is such an important trait to have when interacting with clients. all disabilities greatly impact one's life; the last thing anyone needs is a dismissive and inconsiderate care provider.

it makes me so happy that he ends up here. all his strengths and growth as a high school volleyball player translated well into his future occupation.

also, it's so sweet to see that there are opportunities for him to reconnect with his love for volleyball, despite no longer being a player. the captain in him definitely comes out when talking to clients involved in sports!

anyway, thank you furudate-sensei for ennoshita chikara (22) physical therapist.

im feeling so emotional about haikyuu again tonight. just thought about how it was my first anime as a teen (not counting watching the random late night screenings of naruto shipudden on tv as a 7 year old) and then discovering more animes till it was pushed to the back of my mind, and now to present day where i've discovered it again and it's just as glorious as the day i started it and fell in love with it even harder. haikyuu has so many life lessons and impactful moments in both manga and anime and i'll forever be grateful to furudate sensei. thank you for sharing this with all of us and letting it be our forever comfort ♡ falling in love all over again with a fixation that you fell out of touch with momentarily is the most wonderful thing to experience

Hello, so it's Haikyuu ask game....

(I'm excited, because since the movie released, I've found many Haikyuu fans again )

a.) Who are your top 5 favorite Haikyuu characters?

b.) What are your top 5 favorite Haikyuu moments?

c.) Who are your top 3 favorite Haikyuu ships? Why love them?

Thanks if you want to answer....

Hi! AHHHHHHH I HAVE SO MANY HAIKYUU ASKS SITTING IN MY INBOX, I just- I get very emo while thinking about Haikyuu, so sorry to everyone who has asked me about Haikyuu till now...

Okay, not gonna lie but I LOVE EVERYONE SINGLE HAIKYUU CHARACTER, CAN I NOT SAY EVERYONE IS MY FAVORITE????😭😭😭 but if I had to choose top 5 with a gun to my head because that's the only scenario where I would think of choosing:

(1) Hinata Shouyo (is anyone even surprised anymore): Baby boy, sunshine incarnate, my most handworking baby, I need to meet him and tell him personally how proud I am of him.

(2) Tsukishima Kei: his character development and his growth is the greatest thing to witness and he genuinely so sarcastic and mean I love it.

(3) Kita-san: You ever encounter a character that changes the way you view the world, because that's what Kita Shinsuke did to mine. The words he says just, it just hits hard and it hits home.

(4) Oikawa Tooru: See I am not immune to incredibly annoying but endearing characters. And he nails that category with flying colors.

(5) Kenma Kozume: Oh he is someone I did not think I would like, let alone be on top 5 but Kenma really just full of surprises, especially post-timeskip Kenma, I fucking love that Kenma he genuinely one of the best, I wish him the best in life!

Sorry to Nishinoya, Tanaka, Tendo, Bokuto, Kuroo, Yachi, Kageyama, HoshiumI, Takeda sensei and many more I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH 😭😭😭🫂🫂🫂

Uhhhhhh my top 5 moments might contain some spoilers so guys please if you haven't read Haikyuu, PLEASE DON'T LOOK I BEG YOU(trust me it's better if you read it on your own or wait for the next movie installment):

(1) When you lost but you are still smiling because you finally FINALLY found your equal ah <3

(2) The little Giant vs The World's Greatest Decoy...Actually I applaud Furudate-sensei for even thinking of them like this because people were going on about Hinata would be jealous of Hoshiumi and how there would be a type of resentment between the two because they both might want the little giant title but Furudate said no and gave the greatest story about upliftment, finding your own self-identity and paving your own paths (writing this thru my tears btw I realise now why I don't talk about Haikyuu that much I just start crying lmfao)

(3) “it’s just a club” - this scene making top 5 because one, it’s literally PEAK FICTION and story telling and two, I saw my little sister ugly cried to this scene…shoutout to my little sister

(4) I am not even gonna say anything except the fact I was paralyzed in utter shock during this scene. Also this scene followed by Takeda sensei...I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW IT CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF MY LIFELINE.

(5) The entirety of Brazil arc...Gun to my head I can't not choose one moment out of it because every panel, every interaction and everything about this arc is phenomenal

Also quickly my top 3 ships from hq would be: Kagehina (not immune to the soulmates agenda), Iwaoi (not immune to the annoying x annoyed but still loves agenda) and Tsukiyama (only yamaguchi can love this guy ngl)

[owlyflufff]

5 for haikyuu

12 for bokuto & akaashi (individually and/or together)

22

Henlo and thanks for the ask! We got a lot of questions too so this will be fun <33

5. Who is your least favorite character from (anime) and why? (Anime: Haikyuu)

Catch is, I don't have a least favorite.

In fact, I don't have a favorite in Haikyu either because funny enough my favorite character in Haikyu is in fact, literally everyone in Haikyuu xD! I know that this blog is centered on Bokuaka and truly Bokuto and Akaashi mean a lot to me, but I genuinely just-- ADORE everyone because Furudate-sensei created such amazing characters whether they're long standing ones like Nekoma or Fukurodani or those that are generally only seen for a few episodes like Wakutani High school.

It's genuinely so hard to pit one character over another because, they're all just THAT well written, Haikyuu is the first series in which I love the entire cast so a massive applause to Furudate-sensei for it.

However, if I were to choose a least favorite, it's 100% Tendou and Yamagushi's bullies, we don't talk about them TvT.

12. What is your favorite headcanon for (character)? (Character: Bokuto, Akaashi and both)

Akaashi

He has a tendency to write little tidbits or poetry, writings and whatnots as a hobby. Often, he writes on little sticky notes, his notebook, even scrap paper for all he cares. Akaashi just has this genuine love for writing and fiction.

I like to think of this headcanon as my favorite because Akaashi's inner monolgue I swear is so poetic everytime and it's such a big contrast to how he speaks.

He could literally go "Bokuto is a star, burning brighter than anything I've ever seen, I shine because of the light he gave to me." and when he goes up to Bokuto he just goes "Bokuto-san, your serve went outside." xD

I do think Akaashi just has a genuine penchant for literature hence the structure of his inner monologue and sometimes his dialogue throughout the series. Not to mention of course he is quite literally Udai's editor so another case in point <33.

Bokuto

He loves sharing his food + later on learned how to cook.

I don't quite know how to explain this well most especially since I haven't written anything for this fave little headcanon of mine but when I learned that Bokuto had two older sisters, I immediately just taught of all the ways the siblings could bond, and cooking is definitely up there <33

Just three siblings having fun together making food that they later on enjoy together and give to their loved ones (*cough* Bokuto shares his bento with Akaashi *cough*). Bokuto most espeically wanted to learn how to cook by the time he learned Akaashi goes to his apartment twice a month to give him food since he wants to return the favor for Akaashi.

Bokuto and food seems like a silly but wholesome combo you know?

Both

Anything and everything I wrote here in this blog of mine cause they're all just wholesome headcanons for them <33.

My favorite in the very least would be any domestic timeskip Bokuaka headcanons because THEY GIVE OFF SUCH HUSBAND ENERGY IN THE TIMESKIP TvT!!!

22. What anime animal would you like as your pet?

Aww this is a cute question! Funny enough, I don't quite remember a lot of animes I watched with animals xD!

In fact this ask made me wish we had more animes where the main characters have pets cause it's so endearing, most especially since I have a soft spot for dogs. Although here are a few of them I would want as a pet:

Karl from Bungou Stray Dogs - The idea of having a racoon as a pet would be so interesting and not to mention Karl is really cute in the anime, just staying on Poe's shoulder <33

2. Black Hayate from Fullmetal Alchemist - He's just a little guy in the anime and I love those little moments where he appears in the series. Such a loving and loyal companion to Riza so would love him to have him as well for a pet <33!

[tinygumdrops]

Hey hope you doing well

I'm not same anon

Thank you for answering your fav arcs. Your selection was great, i was certain you'd love wci. It's such interesting family dynamics right

Most people didn't recieve the arc well..

I love your works btw. So I'm very much interested in knowing your favourites, so your fav haikyuu arcs? Or matches and top 3 fav characters:)

Feel free to not reply if this gets repetitive.

Hello again, anon! :D And noooo omg I'm really enjoying having the excuse chance to ramble about things I love! So don't worry about being repetitive because you're definitely not :D

Top 3 hq!! characters? Oh my. Well I've already said too much about Hinata being my top fave, so I guess I can elaborate on the #2 and #3 in my kokoro.

#2 - Yachi Hitoka and Sugawara Koushi

I'm going to cheat a little here. I love these two equally after Hinata and no one can make me choose who takes the next top spot, so there ;-; Seeing Yachi blushing and stuttering and just being a total mess in front of Shimizu made me forever endeared to her. Like yes girl I too would make an absolute fool of myself in front of people I feel are out of my league. Also!!! Her struggle with self-esteem and her trying to become her own person apart from her mother's legacy is such A Mood. Her arc is shorter than most of the cast but it didn't make it any less memorable to me. And homegirl chose hell with a career in ad design. She's pretty insane, I'm sure.

And Sugawara is just so charming as a character! How I wish I had a senior like him in my high school clubs ;-; It actually distressed me a little that he hardly got any action during their final battles in Tokyo Dome, but his antics on the side made it a little worth it. He's capable, self-aware, dependable and also emotionally intelligent, which I really, really appreciate in male characters. I take comfort in the idea that Furudate-sensei might have modeled his personality after a real individual. We need more people in the world like him imo.

#3 - Miya Osamu

This is actually so funny. Right off the bat, people who know me in real life always guessed correctly who's my favorite of the Miya twins I'm that fucking predictable. Atsumu's a great, interesting character for sure, but Osamu's soporific disposition kept making me think 'hmmmm there must be something else behind this person'. And as soon as it was revealed that Osamu didn't have any intention to go pro after high school, I started fixating on him. And because Furudate-sensei knows my heart, of course Osamu didn't pursue what was expected of him, of course he loves food, of course he'll make a career of making the classic onigiri, of course his uncomplicated love for food is a great contrast to his chaotic relationship with his brother/volleyball. Man!!!

And as for arcs/matches---

#1 - Brazil Arc/Post Timeskip

I am extremely biased. Hinata's my favorite character. And Brazil arc Hinata is god tier Hinata. Anyone who says otherwise can argue with a wall.

But for real, I just love it when authors throw their MCs into unfamiliar situations and environments. People may argue that it's a lazy way to shove character development into the plot, but in Hinata's case it really fits. I also love the cross-cultural exchange that comes with it! I know Brazil is already familiar to Japan considering their shared history with Portugal, but it's still nice for Haikyuu!!'s Japanese audience to (re)learn about a country quite different in culture and social norms. I for one became really interested about Brazil and Latin America that I started reading novels made by Latin American authors.

#2 - Karasuno vs. Aoba Johsai, Interhigh

I might be in the minority here, but I like it when the main characters lose at times. It's not because I enjoy watching the heartache. But the journey going from bottom to top---the possibilites are just endless. It kind of feeds my need for hopeful stories. I think of myself as an optimistic person, and I watch shows like Haikyuu!! wanting to be inspired and uplifted.

Hinata and Kageyama's dynamic on the court was, to me, a bit unequal during the first arc of the manga. The freak quick with Hinata closing his eyes and heavily relying on Kageyama setting with pinpoint accuracy was indeed cool, and it revealed so much about them as characters, but it was clear from the start that it's not the move that'd catapult them to the top. Dare I say it was more of a gimmick than an actual technique; their success with it won't last. Hinata opening his eyes to find himself blocked pointblank made me sad no doubt, but it's also a satisfying way to end the match. There's literally no other way to end it. And I love that this arc spurred Karasuno into making themselves a more complete team by the time they faced Shiratorizawa.

#3 - Karasuno vs. Nekoma, Tokyo Nationals

They hyped this match so much since the first arcs so obviously my anticipation was through the roof. Plus there's the generational aspect of it that made the whole thing bittersweet (The reveal that Grandpa Ukai was watching the Nekoma match in the hospital and commenting with pride, "My disciples are there" !!!!!!!) And I love the imagery this match has given birth to! Conniving cats versus feral crows in the garbage dump! Kenma and Hinata aiming to stab one another at the jugular! Kenma trapping Hinata in a birdcage! And Kageyama breaking Hinata out of it!!! *incoherent wailing*

So sorry if this answer got too long once again. Thank you for taking the time to ask my opinion. As you can see, I greatly enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you! :DDD
