see it would be one thing if hq had just one short character, but even just in karasuno nishinoya is also (even if not as much as hinata, still pretty) short. and kenma also more somewhere in the middle between not quite short but not as tall as the majority of the other characters/players we see. i dont know who that white haired guy with the eyeliner is (never got that far) but hes another pointedly short guy and then theres also the original little giant, as well as the old man/coach. and they all have similar but still distinctly differing experiences

and when I inevitably get back into haikyuu what then

#experiencing a vicarious dream of sorts i guess #thinking back on when i was a kid and would get excited at the thought of playing volleyball every chance i got #how my mom would tell me she used to enjoy playing volleyball when she was younger too #i had no connections or knowledge of how to join a school sports team though #so idk if my middle school had a team and considering tryouts take place in between years during the summer #i didnt try out until the summer going into my sophomore year #i had no actual real expectation of making it onto the team but i still pushed myself harded than was probably healthy that summer #and walking to campus to check the list and seeing my name not written there meaning i didnt make the team still felt like a dream was bein #crushed. but im 4'11 and have been since middle school im short even by short standards i didnt think i could make up for #height with any amount of effort truly in the deepest part of my heart even if i still had to try to see anyways #so. well i did start watching the series again #only watched 2 episodes so far but according to mal id seen 3 seasons back in the day already #i remember the lev ova too but im not sure i really remember s3 that clearly #like i do remember it was the short season consisting of only one game for its entirety #but idr if this was the first time shiratorizawa played against karasuno in the series or not #bc ik ushijima is v tall and stoic and intimidating and tendou is lanky and bendy and full of personality #like i /do/ have a memory of tendou getting frustrated at karasuno at some point but was it this fight idk #i kinda never recovered after oikawa lost his final match and the seijou 3rd years all broke down in tears after he said #“thank you for these 3 years”#that was the emotional peak for me #WHICH LIKE SPEAKING OF CHARACTER DRIVEN STORIES #literally every charcter no matter how small feels so fleshed out and real this is such a great story i love haikyuu
