#i need to rewatch and reread this series

[mettywiththenotes]

I think one of the things I love the most about Haikyuu is that even though the whole manga comes from a place of love from Furudate who created the story specifically to get people into volleyball, there is nothing to make you feel bad about not wanting to play anymore

There are characters who are completely obsessed with volleyball. There are characters who aren't obsessed but are interested enough to keep going. There are characters who weren't into it but did it anyway and then just couldn't stop. There are characters who started doing volleyball and then realized they didn't like it anymore, then left and were better for it. There are characters who are like "this was cool and it was nice but I don't want to do this forever". There are characters who never play but still support the teams anyway

And the story validates every single one of these experiences. There's no "this experience is better than that experience", there are just characters who like it, don't like it, are obsessed with it or can appreciate everything that happens in a game regardless of their feelings towards it

It's just really nice to go through the story and feel the whole acceptance through the writing itself, to see that Furudate is encouraging you to try volleyball, to experience how fun it can be, and if it's not fun for you or you fell out of love with it or just don't want to do it anymore, then that's fine! At least you experienced it! At least you tried! At least you learned something about yourself! And hopefully you made friends along the way!

Haikyuu inspires people to try something new but never does it show a characters negative feelings or lack of feelings towards it as invalid and wrong. It just encourages you to do what makes you happy. I really appreciate that

@doctorbluesmanreturns so true, so true!

The Big Bad Wolf and his commitment to self-improvement!

book titles all courtesy of @meso-mijali who is funnier than me:

Mirror Mirror: 10 Steps to the Fairest You 7 Dwarves' 7 Steps to Romance, by Doc Red Riding Hood and You: Finding Your Inner Child and Learning to Trust Again Into the Woods: CPTSD and the Self Gnolls, Trolls & Wolves: It's what's inside that matters

(+ "Meyers Briggs: we aren't astrology for STEM, honest!" which didn't quite make it in, but assume it's one of the untitled books u.u)

Tbh something I find really funny is that almost everyone kind of just ignores the last episode of season 2 of tnb LMFAO. Like you can acknowledge it but everyone immediately adds onto it with behind the scenes stuff. And I say this because I also ignore the last episode.

why did it take me so long to realize that the cursed heart isnt just acotar but also kind of howls moving castle. turning into a bird, magic ring, looking for kieran's heart. that's howl if you also somehow fused him with both rhysand and tamlin.

The soulmatism they possess

[swashbucklery]

over salt sea and flowerdeep fields (Willow, Kit/Jade/Elora, E)

Everything feels the same, and everything feels different, all at once. Because the victory, the heart-pounding elation of fighting the Crone and rescuing Airk and actually doing it, that's incredible. It's everything Kit ever wanted. Everything her bones knew she needed when she'd dreamt about having adventures. But it fades, quickly. Into sore shoulders and bruised ribs and the realization that they have to sleep and eat so badly. + (Kit and Jade and Elora and the long journey back from the Immemorial City, sorting out all the things that love and home can mean.)

A Glitch in Time (no spoilers)

First off???? Everyone was so well written I could hear their voices the entire time (could do without Tucker throwing in modern slang at the end but it's whatever)

Valerie?!!!?!?!?!? Keeping her bigger design and making her hair more curly wavy and less loose wavy???? It's everything to meeeee

The art style kept throwing me cause it's dp style but not (the noodle arms and big bodies). I adjusted though

The wrap up with characters and explanations???? THE PHANDOM IS JAZZ we were right in our interpretations and I'm doing a happy little dance

Honestly really really happy with it all and I'm so glad this is the continuation we got
