I've got more Hinata hcs :33 Hinata Shoyo is a bisexual king and I've hc for a while that his bi awakening was Zoro from One Piece and then not too long ago I discovered its canon that Zoro is his favorite character! Ik he saw Zoro come on screen and was like 😯😯😯 and knew he was bi before knowing what being bi was 💀 This is lowkey me projecting tho bc Zoro is so fucking fine but yeahhh... And, ppl need to start remembering Izumi and Kouji!!! In the very very few fics that include them, a lot of them have kouji/izumi, which idc, but I personally hc Izumi was Hinatas first bf like with the "have you had your first kiss yet?" "No.." "do you wanna, like, practice?? On each other?? So it's not awkward when we do it fr??" And then it's kinda like a moment of queer realization lmaooo. And this isn't really important anyhow because ships between the 3 don't matter anyways i just thought it was cute and silly,,,, so aside from that,, Kouji and Izumi came to that one Karasuno game (I forgot who against), which makes me think, did hinata ever go to one of Kouji's or Izumi's games? If I remember correctly, Kouji played soccer, and Izumi played basketball?? Do yall think hinata ever went to support them? Or even call? Or do we think that they all just kinda stopped talking once they started hs? It'd be sad if they came to his games and always supported him, but he kinda drifted away because he made new friends,,,

aww i forgot that in the manga this scene happens in the hall rather than on the court so we get to see little snippets of koji and izumi!! and kageyama is just casually chatting with them too!! i wonder if he remembered them this time...

I think u enjoy enjoy ats hn ? but also truly get kghn’s canon dynamic and I wanna hear someone else perspective on this badly i feel soooo shy to ask but I’m doing it anyway

Ok so

it’s established that kghn put each other on such a pedestal no one even come close. while others are easily infatuated with shoyo and are more or less devoted to him, I tend to not see as much reciprocation on hinata’s end.

yes shoyo has so many rivals and people who wants to play with him and he has fun playing with them too, I’m sure he appreciates atsumu as a setter, not denying all of that but,

With kghn it’s always “we’re in this as one. we’re gonna win, you and me… and the team” this togetherness that kghn seem to embody in their relationship, making plans for the future /together/ ats hn doesn’t really seem to share ?? maybe bc we only seen them for one match but I just can’t seem to quite place shoyo’s feelings towards Atsumu at all.

also maybe it’s bc I’m just so kghn pilled that’s why I need to hear someone else thoughts

the only character I can see shoyo being mutually devoted to is mayyyybe kenma. Even then I just can’t picture him placing anyone above kgym, in the sense of a friendship, partnership or a rivalry. They’re the greatests after all.

Atsm and hnt being together always seems more of a coincidence or plot driven than shoyo actively choosing to be his teammate unlike with Tobio where he genuinely wants to be WITH HIM, stand by his side. Even with the ‘one day I’ll set to you’ it always feel more of an atsumu wish rather something atshn desires together.

though I don’t see it in a romantic way at all you can’t deny that Atsumu is interested in shoyo and wants to be part of his life on the court but when I try to picture hnt reciprocating, it’s like most of the feelings are being /forced/ onto him. Or it just feels like how he should be feeling towards Tobio if any of that make sense…

I hope u don’t take this as slander (it’s really not my intention) I love ur kghn posts !!!

Hi anon!

I'm glad you asked because I love talking about hq. Yes I like atshn, and obviously you know i'm obsessed with kghn. Dw i'm definitely not taking any of this as slander and I love criticizing/analyzing ships anyway, it's kind of my whole thing.

So, hinata's thoughts on atsumu hmm well i'm with you that we don't actually get much of hinata's internal thoughts about him. Like if you read the manga, like obviously you can surmise that he thinks atsumu is talented and and excellent setter and an excellent opponent on court and he also likes atsumu as just a person, especially because atsumu's hunger for volleyball is so similar to hinata's own. But the rest, honestly we don't know.

It's important to remember that we don't actually get a lot of Hinata's thoughts on people that aren't plot-relevant or volleyball-relevant. We don't see much of anything about his relationships to people in his classes, his thoughts on Koji and Izumi, his dynamics with most of Karasuno's bench players, etc. It's partially because he's a volleyball centric nutcase but also we're only told the most volleyball-ish parts of his thoughts and even then, like kageyama for example is pretty much synonymous with volleyball and we don't see much of hinata's thoughts on kageyama outside of volleyball either (I mean, we get a lot more of hinata's thoughts on kageyama than we do anyone else but like we don't get everything - his thoughts on the Rio thing for example, we can guess at but we don't quite know)

And as much as Hinata would like volleyball to be the end all be all of life and as much as for him, it almost really is, it's still not completely and Hinata could very much have more interest in Atsumu in non-volleyball related thoughts like for say, romantically then he does in a volleyball way. I'll agree that on court, Atsumu seems to be more taken with Hinata and Hinata's not obsessed the same way. But that doesn't need to translate to non-volleyball bits of their lives. Like there's space enough in the narrative to color him as someone who romantically likes Atsumu and still holds Kageyama as the most important setter or even most important person in his life. It goes back to why kghn is a brotp tag for me, because their relationship is something that spans beyond just romantic, they are and still would be insanely important to each other divorced from any romantic contexts or connotations. It can co-exist- and very easily so- alongside either of them being romantically interested in other people.

The last aspect I want to mention is that ships really don't have to have much to do with a character's canon feelings. Sometimes, yes, it's about who a character canonly has feelings for but It can be about a thousand other things. Even in kghn's case, we're stretching hinata's regard and intense focus on kageyama into a romantic light. And outside of that, ships are just dynamics that you find compelling or think are theoretically compelling or just funny etc. They don't even have to be based in anything.

For me with atshn, I like atsumu's flavor of devotion, the way he's so overt about it. I like how mean he is, I like the way his personality can and does contrast with hinata's, I like the potentials of their dynamic. I like the way Atsumu speaks their partnership into existence - it's soooo similar to Hinata the way Hinata stubbornly wills his own future to his desires too- about beating Ushijima, about beating Kageyama and standing on the same level as him, about reaching the heights of volleyball.

I'm not as obsessed with them as kghn because like you said, kghn's is more of a mutual obsession that we play out in canon and thus they take up much more of my headspace but I do like it!

ik I already said i'm done but like actual one last thing- I think this is inspired by the atshn vs kghn ship war that I see little fragments of floating around here and honestly, my opinion on that is that it's a false equivalence. There's no use in arguing about which one's better because they're based off different grounds altogether so in trying to compare them, you're inevitably talking past each other. And it's ok to have different opinions, it's ok to not like the same ship someone else does, it's really not a competition. I also think that people trying to explain why they prefer a certain ship over another end up either purposefully or unintentionally stepping on the toes of fans who do like their ship and don't want to see people argue against it. (i'm not innocent of this- mischaracterizing kageyama for the sake of a ship drives me INSANE and even though I know I shouldn't engage I do anyway) Some people also just seem to think that they need to be validated/justified on their ship opinions, like they need to be in the right which really doesn't need to be a thing, you can just like a ship, man.

Anways, that's every angle that I can think of about this topic, I think I answered all of your points? Ofc, feel free to shoot up another ask if I didn't or if you just want to respond or to voice your own opinions etc. It's a fun discussion to have especially because i've been seeing bits of this float around (not for the first time and probably not for the last) and thus, I have so many thoughts about it in my head, most of which I haven't had a chance to voice yet lmao.

Thanks for the ask!

As it turns out, GEAR's HQ is situated below an amusement park, and a really fancy one too; if he didn't work here, Ginga definitely couldn't get in just with his allowance. Hokuto says he's exaggerating, but regardless, seeing a child worry about money makes Reika and Hikaru muse about all the children who can't afford to come to amusement parks. Kirakuni steps in to brighten the mood, saying that that's exactly the ideals this park was founded on; so that children would never forget to play and dream... though it doesnt sound very convincing when ginga was just complaining about it being prohibitely expensive

Mizuho, meanwhile, is taking in the sights. You see, she's never been to an amusement park; the colony she grew up on was rather... modest. Megumi stops to think about it, and in the first place, it's rather rare for colonies to have amusement parks at all. and we all know what happened to texas colony

Tonya wonders if that means the poor thing has never gone on an amusement park date, only to find out Mizuho has never gone on a date, period.

Beauty: "Huh!? I don't believe this. Aren't you 18? And you've never been on a date?" Mizuho: "N-no..."

Minato: "I'm appalled... RAUL!" Raul: "Y-yes!?" Minato: "You mean you haven't taken your girlfriend out even once!?" Raul: "What's going on here!? We're not even dating!" Beauty: "Dating or not, when you're hanging out with such a cutie, hitting on her is the polite thing to do!"

Strongarmed into feeling conscious of one another, the two can't help but feel awkward... until Kirakuni swoops in to save the day once more, gifting them a full day free couple's pass to the park! Still awkward, but even more unwilling to let a gift go to waste (even if they didn't ask for it), they reluctantly set out on the arranged date.

Witz is frustrated that it took all that work to get Raul to ask Mizuho out, as he feels a man ought to be able to do that on his own, but Tonya thinks all's well that ends well, especially when it comes to such inexperienced lovebirds.

Speaking of lovebirds, Captain Misumaru gets right to work on asking Kirakuni if there's any couple's passes remaining. It'd be a real waste to not get to spend this opportunity on a wonderful amusement park date with her beloved Akito! Regardless of his own wishes, of course!

Not too far away, yet very far-removed from all this heart-pounding romantic action, Raj is deep in thought, staring at a poster. Something about a "Mazinger Parade"? That's right, the Photonic Power Labs and the Science Fortress Lab are collaborating to have a little parade with their respective Mazinger teams. Most would be excited to see the Mazingers up close, or to meet celebrities like Koji or Tetsuya, but we all know Raj well enough by now to be able to tell that what he really wants is a peek at the functioning of Photonic Energy. Beauty wonders aloud why he thinks they'd show it off at an event aimed at the general public, but Raj either doesn't hear her or chooses to ignore her.

Go, meanwhile, is more befuddled by the concept of the parade in the first place. With the current state of affairs in... well, the entire Earth Sphere, is this really the time? But Kirakuni posits that it's exactly because of the state of affairs that this is important. Sure enough, at least the public seems to agree, as everything's sold out already... but Go just chalks that up to most people having more free time than common sense.

Speaking of more free time than common sense, Sho barges in; Go has been skipping training! He gets an earful and is promptly dragged away by his ear like he's Brock or something.

In the middle of all this... liveliness, Banjo has a sour expression. Hokuto asks him if anything's wrong, but he just asks Kirakuni for details on some of the people staffing the event. In particular, the master of ceremonies will be Edwin, a magician who works for the company that facilitated the parade in the first place.

Director Shibuya holds a video call with Kenzo Kabuto, the man in charge of the Science Fortress. It seems like this parade is also an excuse to transfer the Mazinger pilots into GEAR's forces, which is pretty smart; raise public morale and at the same time disguise your tactical maneuvers. Not bad!

Meanwhile, deep underground, at the heart of the Mycenae Empire, The Great General of Darkness (above) curses Tetsuya and the Great Mazinger, taking it as a personal insult that they'd dare hold a parade while in battle with his great empire. But his superior, the Emperor of Darkness, tells him to look at things more rationally. A parade is a great opportunity; with all the civilians around, the Great Mazinger is basically handing them chances to catch it with its guard down. Now properly motivated, the General sets off with his Mycenaean Combat Beasts and some refurbished Mechabeasts stolen from the late Dr. Hell, who once terrorized Japan until he was struck down by Koji Kabuto's Mazinger Z.

Boy: "Dad, is THE Great Mazinger really coming?" Girl: "I want to see the Venus A!"

In a completely trustworthy tone, the magician Edwin gets excited about making all these children's dreams come true... and his own.

Watching from afar, Banjo says that sure enough, it really is Edwin. Garrison muses that Banjo must be feeling nostalgic...

Backstage, Edwin talks to his true master; Koros, the Meganoid who is the de facto second in command. She commends him for his devilish plan; should all go correctly, he'll have many children to turn into meganoid soldiers, and maybe even get a chance at stealing a Mazinger for them to study. But he has to be careful; Banjo Haran, the Meganoids' greatest foe, is back on Earth. Edwin talks big about easily making short work of him, and wonders how they should execute him once he's caught, but Koros seems uninterested in the conversation; such things can be discussed when (and IF) Banjo's properly captured...

Back to the lovebirds' little impromptu date, they're looking out at an observatory, seeing the horizon line. Not being used to the Earth, this is actually Raul's first time seeing it. He thinks he's been to Earth before, but if he did, he was too young to remember much.

They bond a bit over not being used to the Earth, with Mizuho bringing up that when she was little, she visited once and the ocean made her feel sick just from the smell! Apparently it's a rather common occurrence due to how sanitized the air on the colonies is. Mizuho opens up that, for a long time, she felt a bit of prejudice against the Earthborn, but hanging out with so many of them since the time travelling incident, she's come to realize they're just like her. Raul can relate to this somewhat; he's been really taken aback by how steadfast everyone here is in their convictions. They all face down terrible odds, but they continue to strive to protect the world around them... This really inspires Mizuho, who gets all fired up all of a sudden; she wants to be able to tackle her future like that, too! Raul's a bit surprised to see her so motivated all on her own, but it seems he's happy for her, as they walk off to ride the ferris wheel next.

On their way back from the amusement park, they run into Yurika, alongside Akito's remains. She excitedly asks if the pair tried the Mach Coaster Twister 9, stressing how unmatched the feeling of reaching Mach speeds in the flesh is. Akito, with whatever strength remains in him, tries his best to express that... it wasn't as fun for him.

Akito: "People... weren't made... to reach mach speeds... urgh..."

Needless to say, Raul and Mizuho decide not to ride the Mach Coaster Twister 9.

Banjo: "..." Kirakuni: "Oh, Banjo. Everything good? Planning on giving someone that bouquet?" Banjo: "Sadly, the bouquet's recipient is... long dead. Kirakuni, cancel the parade right now." Kirakuni: "Wh-what are you saying? It only just began!"

Chapter 7 - The Mazinger Team, In Peril!!

[mojisnovi]

Studio ,,HQ Architects" iz Tel Aviva instalirao je "Warde", četiri ogromne interaktivne skulpture na trg Valero u Jerusalimu, koje ,,procvetaju" kada im pešaci priđu.

Skulpture u obliku bulke donose živost i boju zapuštenom trgu, obezbeđujući osvetljenje noću, a hladovinu danju.

Bandere u obliku crnih stabljika završavaju se ,,tučkom" koji sadrži lampe, i crvenim ,,laticama" od tkanine, koje se izduvaju kada u blizini nema nikoga. Električna skulptura, uz pomoć senzora, reaguje kada se prolaznici ili tramvaj približe, i naduva devet metara široke cvetove.

since I can’t sleep, some AU notes

Mikey is known as Oroku Ranmaru, while Donnie is known as Oroku Kojiro. They’re affectionately Ranma and Koji with each other and Karai, and don’t adopt the names Michelangelo and Donatello even after discovering they were originally such.

They’re quite close and while Don is cold towards other members of the Foot Clan, he’s fond of Mikey and Karai, given they’re his siblings.

Karai is the shortest of the three of them but the oldest. They earn her ire by teasing her of this. She left them to lead the Japan branch when they were ten and she was fifteen.

Don/Kojiro has a tendency to shut himself in his lab for days on end, particularly when working on a project for their father. Only Mikey/Ranma can snap him out of it and stop him from losing himself in his work. He looks down on Baxter Stockman, often taking his inventions and making them better ie the Mousers are bigger and nastier.

Mikey/Ranmaru is leader of the Purple Dragons, much to Hun’s disgruntlement. He takes inspiration for his leadership from watching Shredder at work when he was younger, and treats the younger members like kids. Angel is his right hand woman. Casey Jones is a thorn in his side who’s recently been joined by another mutant in his efforts to rid the streets of the Dragons.

Leo and Raph have always known they were missing siblings, though never understood what happened to them. Splinter mentions losing them down a particularly deep sewer pipe, though the scar under his fur suggests otherwise.

Mikey/Ranmaru is the first to make contact, taking on Raph in a no-holds barred fighting match in the Purple Dragon ring while Raph and Casey are casing the joint. Both wear disguises until partway through the fight when their head gear is removed prematurely. It’s like looking in a mirror since Mikey doesn’t wear a bandanna and Raph isn’t wearing his. He uses the distraction to beat him and before Casey can intervene orders his capture.

meanwhile, Leo and Splinter are fighting off robots in the lair while their controller hides his shock behind the screen back at Foot HQ

that’s p much all I’ve got figured out atm

okay so basic premise of my old TMNT AU is that Don and Mike were raised by Shredder after an incident involving Mike and Raph. Mike became leader of the Purple Dragons and Don was head of Foot Tech and pretty mad scientist

reworking it so that neither duo knows the other exists until the Mousers are sent into the sewers and discover a very big rat

still working this out in my head, please hold

He stopped by the door as he heard you and your significant other scream at the top of your lungs. Out of nowhere the door swung open and all he could do was step aside, your significant other stomping out of your apartment. He watched them walk away before looking at you, his facial expression not giving anything away.

“Sorry.” You didn’t know why but you felt the urge to apologize.

“Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong did you?” He deadpanned, blinking slowly.

“I guess you’re right. Uhm.. have a good night?” You swallowed dryly, slowly closing your front door.

“Wait.” He stops the door from fully closing. “Do you maybe need some company? I rented a movie and got some snacks.” He raised the plastic bag he was holding in his free hand, giving you a lopsided smile.

You stared at him for a moment, dumbfounded. “Sure?” Your face twisted in question.

“Are you asking me or are you saying yes?” He raised an eyebrow at you, nose wrinkling.

“No, yes. Uhm Just. . . Come in.” You give him a polite smile and open the door wide for him to enter.

He walks in and studies your apartment, setting his backpack down on the floor by your door. You walked with him and looked at his features. His eyes flick to yours and you’re forced to look away, a blush painting your cheeks from embarrassment.

“Make yourself comfortable.” You quickly made your way to the living room and patted the couch. “Did you want anything to drink? I think I have some soda cans, juice and water.” You turn your body to look towards the kitchen.

“I’ll take a can of soda please and thank you.” He walked towards the couch and crouched down in front of your television. “You don’t mind if I put the movie in, do you?”

“Oh no it’s fine, go ahead.” You said as you walked to the kitchen to grab two cans of soda..

You walk back with the cans in your hands, watching him turn the tv on and sit on the couch. For some unknown reason, this all felt very normal. It was like you’ve always hung out with him like this, even though you rarely even spoke to the guy.

“You good?” He peered over his shoulder from where he was seated and you nodded.

“Yeah, I’m good. What movie are we watching?” You walked around the couch and handed him the can, setting yours down on the coffee table before sitting down.

“It’s this movie called Eli. A horror film. I hope you don’t mind.” He opens the can and takes a sip.

“Yeah, I don’t mind. You know what it’s about?” You crossed your legs, head turned to the side to look at him.

“It’s about this kid who has this illness where he's allergic to everything and his parents take him to this house to get treated.” His expression changes for the first time since you first met him.

Whenever you saw him, he would always have this blank expressionless look on his face. This made you aware of him, smiling every time you locked eyes. Surprisingly, he would smile back with the same enthusiasm. You felt something stir inside you yet you put it aside for the sake of your, pretty much sucky relationship.

“Earth to thy neighbor?” He waved his hand in front of your face, snapping you out of your thoughts. “I’m starting the movie. Oh, here.” He hands you a bag of your favorite chips.

“Hey, this is my favorite! How did you know?” You smiled brightly at the stoic man and he shrugged.

“Just a wild guess.” He took out another bag of chips and opened it after he put the soda can on the coffee table, pressing play on the remote control.

The intro to the movie plays and he gets settled on the couch, one chip after another going in his mouth. In a matter of seconds, he is completely submerged into the movie. Your eyes dart from his face to the television, hoping to see his expression change again. You continued to do this throughout the movie up until he poked your cheek and made you look at the screen.

“Stop looking at me, you’re missing the movie.” He sounded amused, like he liked that you were looking at him.

“Yeah, yeah.” You shook your head and finally looked back at the screen, trying to focus on the movie when the door bursts open.

“What the fuck?” Your significant other freezes as they stood in the doorway.

He looks over his shoulder but stays seated next to you, a flash of irritation comes across his face. They stormed into the living room and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him up. Your partner was snarling at him, his other hand balled into a fist so you decided to hold it.

“Get your hands off of me.” They turned their head slightly to look at you, anger apparent in their eyes.

This made you cower and he could tell, now he was getting irritated. You put your hands flat on your lap and stared at them, trying to calm yourself and trying to hold back your tears. Your eyes flick towards his hand and see it curl into a fist, ready to attack. You quickly put your hand on his, shaking your head and his hand relaxes.

“I leave for a little bit and you’re here with this fucker? My friends were right. You totally are banging this guy.” Your lover's voice drops, not even looking at you. “We’re done.” They let your neighbor go and leave out the front door again.

You watch them leave and for some reason, you didn’t know exactly what to feel. Should you have been sad because now you’re single or should you be happy?

“I guess they just weren’t for you.” He straightened his shirt and sighed. “You ok?”

You got taken aback by the question. “I should be asking you that. You two almost got into it.” Looking down at your hands and still feeling shaky.

“I’m only asking because you looked terrified. It was like you were waiting for them to do something.” He says this seriously and you could hear the concern in his voice.

You stared at your hands longer before shaking them. You feel the bruise on back throb, remembering that fight you two had the other night. How his fist felt on your back and it stung. You tilt your head up and your eyes meet his.

“Am I right?” His eyes bore into yours, searching your eyes deeply.

You couldn’t look at anymore. His hand quickly goes up to your cheek, caressing it gently. You feel your heart twist, the tears you so strongly held back flowed freely down your cheek. He continues to glide his thumb over your cheek, wiping your tears.

“They were but I don’t know how to feel.” Your voice was more shaky than you thought. “We’ve been together for so long that even when they hurt me I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want to be alone. Now we’re over, I don’t even know how to feel.” You clenched on the hem of your shirt, feeling frustrated.

“You don’t have to be alone.” He says this calmly and you look back up at him again.

“What?” Of course you’d be confused.

He puts his other hand on your other cheek. “I’m saying, you don’t have to be alone.” He makes you keep your gaze at him. “I’m right here and I’ll definitely treat you better.”

The confusion immediately dissipates from your face. You just stared at him, not knowing what to do or how to answer. Yes, you already knew that you did in fact like him but isn’t it too soon?

“We don’t have to rush into it. I’m just letting you know, I’m here. Take your time, I’ll wait.” He puts his hands down and smiles at you.

You feel your heart flutter. “Oh, it’s like you read my mind.” Your lips pressed together as if you didn’t mean to say what you said.

“It was written all over your face and besides, you literally just got out of your relationship. I know you’re going to need time and I’ll be here to help you heal every step of the way.” The smile on his face gets softer and you could tell he was sincere with his word.

You return the smile and nod at him, wiping the rest of your tears away. “I trust you then. And until I give you my answer, I hope that you’ll still feel the way you do now.”

“Of course I will. I know I will.” He flicks your forehead and sits back down, patting the space next to him. “Can we continue the movie? It was getting interesting there but we got interrupted so. .”

You giggled at this and sat down next to him. You got comfy on the couch and looked back at the screen, his concentration goes to the movie. Your thoughts linger on him and the future ahead.

You knew that your first mission was to take care of yourself and if he was serious about his declaration then you knew he’d stay. Nowhere in your mind had doubt on his words and you didn’t know why it was like that. All you knew now was that you weren’t alone and that you had someone who you knew would be with you and stay by your side.
