#haikyuu stz

[kings-highway]

based on Tendou's few lines in the Dumpster Battle Movie we can deduce that he has a habit of, maybe as a joke, "talking to camera" or pretending to break the fourth wall, maybe just to entertain himself.

I imagine this is a bit of an annoyance for the team, who don't find it funny.

I also imagine they were all properly irritated when Ushijima started inexplicably playing along and they simply cannot figure out why he's also doing it.

---

Tendou, over his shoulder, to the "camera": did you see that? these people are ridiculous, gonna go crazy if I'm stuck with them any longer.

Ushijima, also glancing over to Tendou's camera: ignore him. he is just being dramatic.

Tendou, still to the camera: don't you dare ignore me! I'm your leading man! Youre reliable narrator!

The rest of the locker room, silent:

Semi: the depths of which i despise these two

Leon: relax they're just doing a bit

Semi: i don't know if they are, Leon

Goshiki: well I think it's funny!

Shirabu: you don't think it's funny, you're just a kissass

Yamagata, whipping his head around trying to spot the camera:

Tendou, giving a wink to the camera: Well, whether you ignore me or not, I have to get to practice. Catch you later~

Semi: stop pretending to break the fourth wall!

Ushijima, waving goodbye to the camera before following Tendou:

Semi: s t o p

Yamagata, still looking for the camera:

barging into your inbox with some haikyuu thoughts bc i thought the shiratorizawa arc was already so intense and emotional but their game with inarizaki almost had me literally crying bc i’m just so proud of them !!

^ HE’S JUST LIKE ME FR 😭

i also wanted to ask who your fave characters were!! I think Kageyama has really inched his way to the top for me but Sugawara is also so precious (as are most of the characters lbr) 🥹

hello sorry this is a late reply to your ask!! BUT YES S4 IS REALLY GOOD 🥹 the match is sooooo intense and satisfying and i especially love hinata's big receive!! such a good way to wrap up his arc for the season 💕

omg fave characters... ok so i am a HUGE shiratorizawa fan, i watched season 3 in one go and LOVED it and got obsessed with it so fast. ushijima is my absolute favorite and i also love tendou and goshiki to pieces!! i even have a soft spot for the side characters in the team like semi and reon?? i just love s3 a lot, it's my favorite season hands down.

i didn't even think much of ushijima in previous seasons, i just remembered him as the guy from the "japan!!" scene and from anime twitter meme'ing him as pestering oikawa all the time. i think what really endeared me to him was 1) his backstory with his dad and his left-handedness and 2) him being actually a really cool and supportive captain despite his scary-looking demeanor! tbh i just really love the contrast of the intimidating outward aura vs. him actually just being very no-nonsense. i love how he's always "okay do your best" to goshiki whenever the latter challenges him (if you haven't seen it yet, i highly recommend this scene not in the anime). idk if you've read the manga chapters not covered by the anime but i especially loved seeing more sides to him after the s3 match.

tendou endeared me to him so fast bc of how goofy he is + the whole "guess monster" concept & the backstory behind it + his entire dynamic with ushijima, like they're besties but also such an odd pair. (tendou also has one of my favorite post-timeskip jobs!) and i love love how ambitious and hungry for success / validation goshiki is while still being a dorky first year.

sadly shiratorizawa is not very popular within the fandom so they don't get a lot of merch but i DO try to get my hands on merch of them whenever i can!!

tbh i think their relative lack of popularity is why i love them so much haha. i got into haikyuu back in 2020-21 when it was all over anime twitter, and back then the hyped characters were the aoba johsai boys (mostly oikawa and iwaizumi, still very popular today) and the miya twins (since s4 had just aired). tbh it's harder for me to love hyped characters bc the hype blows them up too much and i can't appreciate them in my own right... i went into s3 knowing nothing about it so i learned to love the characters on my own!

outside of stz my favorite characters are asahi and kageyama!! with asahi i think i just really loved his story of overcoming anxiety and pressure to claim the title of ace. his more reserved personality is such a nice contrast to the rest of karasuno! (and i also love his timeskip job!) and kageyama is just... so, so endearing to me. he's really just trying his best! his struggle of balancing wanting to be the best vs. looking after his teammates and bringing out the best in them too resonates with me so much. and while i've always liked hinata, i think i grew to love him more after reading the post-nationals chapters!

wip tag game

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

tagged by @woobifiedvillain @frodo-of-the-nine-fingers and @tavina-writes

... ALL of them?

i mean i guess i could just forcus on ones i've recenly worked on but that's BORING let's brave the depths! Also, you guys have a wip folder? I have 3 folders organized for different fandoms that countain maybe 30% of my actual wips, the rest I just rawdog in the "recently opened" page of google drive. a good number of these don't even HAVE titles

WELL.

OKAY.

SURE.

honorable mention to my very much finished and NOT wip fic "red string wrapped aorund your throat" which has never actually been titled that in docs. the document is titled "package deal but in a bad way" which sums up nieyao quite nicely.

So in doing this i've found out that A SIGNIFCANT number of my unpublished haikyuu wips do not in fact contain themselves in my google drive folder but on the notes app. On my old phone. That doesn't work anymore. :) If you wanna ask about any of these, feel free to do so while I let myself be consumed by the void.

I am NOT tagging as many people as I have wips. absolutely not. have you seen that list? i'm not sure I even have 51 writer mutuals. i'm tagging 5 people: @layzeal @clementinecoastline @transhawks @jecook @aphrodaisyacs

i drew this in like, 2020, with the intention of making it part of an stz summer post and then... never finished..... the other ones......... alas. here's a summer tendou incorrectly using a paddling boat! ☀️✨️

[ideks-on-mars]

Ushijima: Tendō, am I ugly?

Tendō: Of course not! You're gorgeous!

Semi: Shirabu, am I ugly?

Shirabu: Oh I don't know Semi, is the sky fucking blue?

Everything is normal :)

Haikyuu!! 30 day challenge - Day 14

Favorite match: Karasuno High vs. Shiratorizawa Academy

Us and them... Shiratorizawa and Karasuno. We both built our teams around completely different theories, but we both like to take our points by force. We are of a like kind, them and us. This here is a battle of concepts. One me and Ukai have been waging on for years

[scary-monsters]

if it weren’t for retail prison i probably would have finished jojo by now

[kings-highway]

downloading Touch the Dream despite speaking/reading Negative amounts of Japanese and instead employing my Obscene ADHD Pattern Recognition to memorize the placement of move options and circumstances to become Very Good and anyway AI can suck my dick - do I know what Im doing??? no!!!! I dont even fully understand what the rewards I get are for. But I do know that theres a much higher success rate picking the rightmost block option when the set is coming from the backrow!!!!

[reineyday]

something refreshing thing about haikyuu (besides suga!) is that they have younger and older adults interacting. usually, all the adults in a youth media are viewed as "authority figure" and they're all on the same level, but in haikyuu, you get to see twenty- and thirty-somethings in this position of mentorship while training the teens, but still being treated as kids themselves when the older adults come in.

i'm thinking like, when nekomata pokes fun at keishin and takes him and takeda out drinking, or ukai sr. teasingly berating takinoue, shimada and akiteru for the vball antics they pulled when he coached them, or the way anabara sweats in front of washijo when he's announcing that stz's younger coach is sick from the raw oysters they ate the night before.

the intergenerationality in this series is so important to me!!!!

[la-ro-ki]

I’m so sorry for this but me and my friend speed ran season 3 and this kept popping into my head jdsklsks
