Haikyuu as Swimmers (from a former competitive swimmer)
Because I have massive writer's block, I give you Haikyuu boys as what events they would do if they were swimmers. Please accept my humble offering.
First of all, the MSBY four. I feel like they would DOMINATE in the men's 4x100 medley relay. Like remember at the 2016 olympics with Michael Phelps, Ryan Murphey, Cody Miller, and Natan Adrian? Yeah, like that level of domination.
(Context for non-swimmers or those who are unfamiliar, the 4x100 medley relay means that all four swimming strokes are swam by different individual swimmers, each swimming 100m--totaling 400m between the four swimmers. The order is backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, then freestyle)
Bokuto would, of course, start off the men's relay with backstroke--man has upper-body strength for DAYS. I feel like he also swims freestyle, but he always gets too excited during heats and it messes with the relay time, so they had him do backstroke for the relay (sorry Bokuto). He still phenomenal and is a good powerhouse, struggles slightly with pacing, but it really doesn't hurt the time much. Side note, even though he struggles with relay timing, he's actually pretty good at timing out when he needs to turn over for splits. This man hit the wall one too many times at practice and now never does.
I feel like then Sakusa would come in next with breaststroke. I really see him as someone who has a slight control issue, and as we all know, control freaks do make the best breaststrokers (completely outing myself here). Sakusa is crazy good at stroke count. He freaks people out because without fail, every single heat he swims, he always hits his splits perfectly. Which is mostly better for individual events, but definitely doesn't hurt for the relay. He is also impeccable at timing, which at the olympics where literally every hundredth second counts is a huge asset to the time.
Next up we have Atsumu as the butterfly swimmer, because of course. In terms of the relay, this is where things get REAL interesting. Naturally in the race, we've hit the halfway mark and you can start to tell who's gonna pull ahead--of course if your freestylist biffs it, then you're screwed and it's anyone's game, but more to that in a minute. Atsumu LOVES that adrenaline rush--he also loves competing with Omi to see who can get the best splits especially since they go right after each other. Atsumu's biggest asset is his dolphin kick. For those who have read the manga you know this man has thiccc thighs. His core strength also helps create a really powerful kick that propels him through the water. He's really fun to watch because he always seems to be riding the record line (and that's always fun to see).
With all of the hype that Atsumu builds, all eyes are on our final swimmer: Hinata. Now, context, Hinata is a water baby through and through. He loves swimming and wants to be in as many heats as possible. Hence why he chose freestyle. Despite his height, he's got some pretty good arm strength and a good kick to him. He's not as much of a powerhouse as Sakusa or Atsumu, but he's able to keep pace well and he has a fantastic kick off. In fact, that last split is the one to watch. They call him the "Human Torpedo" because he'll kick off from the 50m mark and he seems to already be halfway back in the blink of the eye. It's where he's really able to pull ahead for the relay. He always finishes strong and secures the gold for them along with a new record.
Anyway, this was supposed to be a headcannon and turned into this ( ・⌓・`) So let me know if you want more swimming AU with other characters and I'll write some more. (Asks are open)
*note here: heat does NOT refer to a/b/o. In swimming, a heat is like a "round" for a specific event. So for example, in the 200m freestyle, there could be 8 heats or 8 different rounds for that specific event. I just thought that really needed to be cleared up haha*

Starshine                    Ch. 63    Jimmy Page              Fan Fiction
The evening show was about to begin and Jill was backstage with Jimmy and the rest of the band. Jimmy had his costume on and they had all been tended to
Tumblr media
 by the hair and makeup crew. He was kissing Jill, just before stage call and telling her she’d be on his mind throughout the show. Jill told him how stunning he looked and that she couldn’t wait to be alone with him later. So the call arrived and they were introduced. And the four guys took the stage. Security escorted Clare and Jill to the usual place they occupied during any show. Just to Jimmy’s left. Jimmy loved having the two of them there. He was not ashamed to admit he got nervous and a bit of stage fright normally, when about to take the stage. But seeing Jill and Clare just feet away, beside him, it just gave him that extra boost of comfort and confidence. That made a hell of a difference for him. And once he began performing, all the nerves were gone, he was in his own world, own state of intense thinking. Solid and strong. They began with Rock n Roll, and the crowd was in ecstacy. The applause and cheering was phenomenally loud this night. The German audience just adored them. Jill was so proud of Jimmy. His skills were incredible, his on the spot timing and solos were impeccable. Jill and Clare were just in awe. And Bonz just blew doors with his driving force. Clare just loved him to a fault. Father of her child. Such a strong and fantastic guy, in every category. The next song they played was In The Light. Jill’s favorite song. Jimmy looked over at her as he played, and mouthed the words, “For you.” to Jill.  She absolutely loved it and it touched her deeply that Jimmy knew how she loved it and played it just for her. Sitting there at the stage edge was such a prime privilege.  The ladies felt so spoiled to receive such awesome treatment. Stagehands often brought them drinks, with a smile. Highly pampered VIP’s they were. As the first half ended, intermission time began. Jimmy handed his Les Paul #1 over to Tim, his assistant. He walked directly to Jill and pulled her right into his arms and kissed her with passion. Bonz also headed directly for Clare and they hugged like mad. They all walked backstage for a nice cold drink. Jimmy was sweating profusely and a stage guy gave him a fluffy white towel to dry off with. He had his other arm firmly around Jill’s waist and they sat on a bench together. Jimmy rested his elbows on his knees and held his head down awhile to catch his breath and get calm. Jill rubbed his shoulders and his gorgeous back. He loved that. Her affection and attention meant a lot to him. Gave him some peace and also he felt her love right through her hands into his body. They were both handed ice cold drinks and it was so refreshing. Jimmy was on a high still from the performance. His ears were ringing and he leaned against Jill for a few moments, as she held his head and kissed his red lips several times. He spoke softly to her, “My love, it’s fantastic having you here with me. Staying by me, helping me, loving me. I feel really cared for in your hands and it makes a big difference in my night.”
Jill replied, “Oh, wow. I’m thrilled to be here with you, darling. You’re everything to me and I’m so proud of you. Being brave enough to step out there, and playing so beautifully. It sounds unbelievable when you play.”   He had the hugest smile on while she spoke, and he whispered against her ear, “I love you so much.”
Soon it was time for the next half and the group re entered the stage. It began with the acoustic set, with Travellin Riverside Blues.
So intricate and wonderful. Then Braun yr aur Stomp. Just mind blowing. After 
Tumblr media
the end of the show, Jill went into the little dressing room with Jimmy and helped him get the sweaty costume off. He was dripping sweat, hair soaking. He got a great hot shower, and Jill helped him get into his day clothes. He was blown out exhausted. But there was an after concert party that night in the big meeting room at their hotel later and he was expected to attend. So off they drove to the hotel in the limo, the entire bunch of them. Not much chatting took place, they were all drained. They got about an hour before the party to rest and breathe a bit. So Jimmy laid down for a little rest with Jill before the party, in their room. They had the light off and a fire crackling in the fireplace, and Jill just massaged his head, right by his temples and along his hairline. While she hummed softly next to him and cuddled him. He just lay there loving it, eyes closed, absorbing her love and warmth. And he drifted off sweetly within just a few minutes. She kept caressing him. In an hour, she gently spoke to him, it was time to go. 
Jim : No, I can’t. I need another 10 minutes to rest. Maybe 15 honey.
Jill : Anything you say.
And she gently kissed his mouth a few times, and he smiled. He slept softly maybe another half hour, but then they really needed to go. 
They got up and out and onto the elevator to the main floor. He was still a little out of it, but when they entered the party, all the loud music and lights and craziness helped Jimmy pull himself back to life again.
Most of the guests there were members of the music industry. Producers, other musicians, agents, lighting and sound engineers, record company directors and employees, sound technicians. They all knew or heard of Jimmy and most all of them wished for a little of his time. He was surrounded much of the evening by people grasping for his attention. Jill just kept back, standing with Clare, enjoying her company. They always had lots to chat about. Jill felt way lucky to have Clare with her at most events. They really supported each other. She felt sorry for Jim though.  Jill knew he wasn’t much of a big talker. And when he was put on the spot to answer questions, especially just after a riveting performance, it was far from comfortable for him. She wished she could assist him, but that was way out of her realm. He had to handle all that on his own, to his displeasure. It was one of the most difficult aspects of his career. For Robert, it was no problem. Being out going and comical was a quality that helped him in situations such as this. But Jimmy was way quieter and less out going in public. He kept his thoughts to himself and possessed a mysterious aura. Therefore it was even more of a reason that folks in the business desired a quote or a conversation with him. But words often evaded him. Made him feel awkward.
Jill observed from the sidelines, Jimmy floundering in the sea of people waiting to chat with him. She saw how uncomfortable he was appearing. So she decided that she needed to go drag him away somehow. It wasn’t like it was mandatory for him to answer everyone’s questions. Even the president didn’t have to do that. And if he had answered hundreds of people’s inquiries, there would still always be dozens more, always looking for something more from him. It would never end. The demand wasn’t going to slow down anytime soon. So she made her way through the crowd and took Jimmy by the arm and said, “Sorry guys, Jimmy needs some air now, ok ?” He was glad to follow. She pulled him along with her to a little open space and found a few seats they could breathe in for awhile. He was so grateful, getting away from the demand.
Jim : Oh my God, fresh air. So beautiful. I love air.
Jill : Yes, I’m sure you do. Sorry I pulled you away. You just looked so overwhelmed and I was worried that you couldn’t breathe. You’re just so accommodating to everyone. I thought I would give you an out.
Jim : No, don’t apologize. I was surrounded and couldn’t see a way to get loose. To squeeze through and away. Without being completely rude. So you did me a service there. I love air. 
Jill : Let’s get you a cold drink, my sweet angel.
She stepped away and told a stagehand there that they needed 2 cold beers and could he help them. He was glad to. So in a few minutes, they had their cold drinks and relaxed at a table in the back for awhile. Jill smoothed his hair back and out of his face. She massaged his head and his damp neck and he luxuriated in her soothing touch. He said, “ Jill, you are so loving and tender to me. The comfort you give me is invaluable. I’m by far more happy with you with me than I ever was on tour, before I met you, my love.”   
Just at that moment, a woman stepped up close to them as they were seated, and put her arms around Jimmy’s neck and leaned down to kiss him. She was putting her lips against Jimmy’s face and he was grabbing at her arms to push her away. Jill took a hard look at her, and realized it was Leeza again. Jimmy said to her, “Leeza ? How did you get in here ? You’re relentless. I would really prefer that you keep your hands and mouth off of me. Will you be leaving on your own, or does security need to come get you again ?” 
Leeza : Why ? Why do I have to leave ? I haven’t done anything wrong.
Jim : Well, you broke into my hotel room yesterday, you remember doing that don’t you ?  That was kinda wrong. And you have a huge problem with taking no for an answer still. You just had your arms around my neck and your mouth on me, you see that my fiancé is right here next to me. That’s not exactly polite to either one of us. And it’s not really keeping your hands to yourself, is it ?  
Leeza : Well, …. I haven’t heard you say that you don’t love me, so I guess I thought I was welcome.
Jim : Leeza, I don’t love you, I never loved you. You need to go now. 
Soon, a security guy saw what was happening and he and a coworker took Leeza gently by the arms and had her removed.
Jimmy looked over at Jill, and he saw that she was ok about it. Jill saw how calmly he was handling it and thought she should stay calm, as well. Jim just put his hand behind Jill’s head and ruffled her hair up a bit. It was a way of saying he was proud of her.  And Jill just smiled at him and he hugged her tightly. 
Jimmy looked ok, but he told Jill he needed to get out of there, he was fading fast. So they said goodnight to the other bandmembers and exited. It had been a hell of a long day. 
Tumblr media
They took the elevator up to their floor and got into their room. They turned most all the lights off and went into their cozy room. Jill helped Jimmy get his clothes off and helped him under the covers. He was so tired he could barely stand. She covered him up with the blankets and kissed him all over the side of his face as he was on his side. He was whispering illegibly to Jill, something to the effect of, sweet angel, I love you, baby.  And that was it for him. He had fallen asleep. Breathing softly.  Jill went in the bath and took a nice shower, then got a cotton nightgown on. She laid down next to him, got under the covers and fell asleep with her head against his shoulder.

M.O.D.O.K. Head Games #1
Tumblr media
M.O.D.O.K. Head Games #1 Marvel Comics 2020 Written by Jordan Blum & Patton Oswalt Illustrated by Scott Hepburn Coloured by Carlos Lopez Lettered by VC’s Travis Lanham    From Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, showrunners of the upcoming animated Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. show on Hulu, comes a journey into the mind of one of the biggest heads in the Marvel Universe! M.O.D.O.K. is the ruthless and brilliant leader of the terrorist organization AIM, outsmarting heroes and outmaneuvering his cutthroat colleagues gunning for his position… but when he begins to be haunted by memories of a family he never had, it leaves him unsure if he is losing his freakishly-large mind, or if perhaps there is a lot more to this enormous mind… or if there is something more sinister behind these visions.    I am not sure when or even how M.O.D.O.K. became one of my favourite characters but he did and there’s a damn good reason why.  The dude is funny, he might not try to be but with the ridiculous way he looks and his sometimes single minded nature he’s one of the few characters in the Marvel Universe who automatically commands respect be it from heroes or villains alike.  So that once more he is in his own limited series should tell you that he really is a fan favourite character.      I love the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is impeccably rendered.  Just the way this story is set up and how it’s executed is incredibly interesting and as A.I.M. starts to listen to Monica Rappaccini well this is when things start to get interesting.  The character development is phenomenal and to see M.O.D.O.K. referencing his previous series and what he’s been through and tying that into what we see happening here.  The pacing is superb and as it takes us through the pages revealing the story as well as twists and turns along the way is setting up one hell of a ride.    How we see this being structured as well as well as the layers within the story being revealed and how it all works together to create the story’s ebb & flow is beyond sensational.  Past, present and future are all being tied into the current run is a thing of beauty.    Not so munich a thing of beauty is M.O.D.O.K. himself but he’s not supposed to be.  The interiors here are fantastic!  I am liking how well we see the linework and how the varying weights are being utilised to create the detail work that is really rather quite nice. This is some really strong comic book style artwork going on within these pages and that we see as much use of backgrounds as we do makes me happy.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a strong and talented eye for storytelling.  The colour work is nicely rendered as well.  I like how we see the various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work we see. ​    Oh I am so thrilled by this, mainly because he’s one of the most unsung characters in the Marvel Universe and he’s getting his own cartoon series.  Plus the man is crazy on so many levels that how can anyone not have a ton of fun playing in his sandbox?  Some fear him and others jealous of him and as Monica is going to quickly learn she’s in way over her head and totally outclassed, even if that means Tony Stark has to help put him back together again.  God I cannot wait for the next chapter!
