#i was a middle blocker

[allurared]

trying to understand the rules of a certain sport (ik ik shut up) and it's incredible how arcane and full of strange rituals it seems compared to the elegance and simplicity of volleyball, whose rules are entirely logical and intuitive (and that i just so happen to grow up playing)

[maqui-chan]

imagine there's a local league in town where coed teams are allowed so here they are (ok i was very haikyuu pilled and instead of drawing haikyuu fanart i draw dol playing volleyball)

Osamu and Tsukki has the same taste in music: EDM. Alan Walker is Osamu's top favorite, while Tsukki listens to a wide range of musicians and genres. They sometimes chat together where Osamu asks for Tsukki's music recommendation, and chat civilly about music with him. Both likes each other's music taste, so Inarizaki and Karasuno is EXTREMELY surprised both gets along so well, and Tsukki does not show any sarcasm and hostility, respecting Osamu like an upperclassman.

Suna, as Osamu's boyfriend and Tsukki's new volleyball rival, doesn't know what to think about this. Every time Osamu and Tsukki interact, Atsumu hovers around him to tease.

Yamaguchi, meanwhile, finds Osamu a nice person. Osamu even promised to make him some onigiris. After high school, Yamaguchi visits Osamu's onigiri shop for lunch during workdays since the place is not far from his workplace, and became a regular customer.

god does anyone remember when colleens manga recs saw like something vaguely resembling hypothetical critique of their shoujo history video on here and then had like a micro freakout on twitter about it and started talking about shoujo elitists or something

[touchlikethesun]

also had lunch with the bestie today and we did some hq favs questions (even tho... we could have probably answered every q for the other alr) just for fun and bc we're seeing the movie tomorrow (!!!!!) and when we got to the favourite setter question she was all like "it's akaashi for you isn't it" and i was literally nodding and about to agree before i was overcome with horror because has akaashi somehow managed to dethrone kags????? has akaashi usurped my literal son?????

it sent me into a mini crisis in public ngl because... that's my child and my darling i've never pitted them against each other before and now here i was having to pick a fav - literally impossible impossible

in the end i decided kags is still my favourite setter bc in terms of ability and technique, kageyama tobio is unparalleled. but i made that decision purely based on ability and game performance not on anything else i could never truly choose between them never ever

[screampied]

oohhh a gameee!! thats cool!! did you win?

[tearsipstea]

genshin volleyball au?

i definitely want to post more about this au and uh, spill all my headcanons of this au but have these few yelan sketches while i figure out the rest of the team :D

for the tags, i’ll prob just tag it something simple like “genshin vb au” or something? 

[ishikawayukis]

the fact that there's an argentinian volleyball player whose last name is loser never fails to make me giggle

[pattypotterpevensie]

now friends. i usually suffer in silence but i can do so no longer.

does anyone remember the middle blocker group chat fic on ao3?

i think it might've been called that and when i tell you those idiots had me howling (silently) every time i read it, i Mean It. it was the peak of "boys will be boys" humor to me. it had narita and kawanishi content. i Loved that content.

i can't remember much else besides some key factors:

1) kawanishi and narita are vice captains! it still happens in their second year but they know they've been chosen. kawanishi calls him naruto. kawanishi also has serious allergies and tendou gets him his meds from semi and also cookies from the cafeteria. tendou is a good senpai.

(PSA: don't worry that's not a canon spoiler. i don't think the second year vice captains were ever confirmed in the main manga!)

2) washio is there and absolutely forgets to add onaga until the end. in fact i think kuroo does it LMAO "please don't forget me again senpai" "sorry" washio is a BAD senpai. jk love you tatsun. also mattsun and tatsun.

3) THE UNEXPECTED KUROO/DAISHOU CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO ENEMIES TO LOVERS SUBPLOT??? RIGHT AT THE END??? my first exposure. i was not mad.

4) i'm pretty sure during the middle blocker video chat at the end, it was heavily implied that tsukkiyamakagehina were a thing. except kageyama is confused bc he's the only one who isn't a middle blocker so he was left out of the character development loop. rip kags

it was literally my lifeblood and if ANYONE has any way for me to read it again i would live and breathe and die for you. thank you for your time

Kawanishi may look stoic. But, I personally believe he's got an imagination that rivals Kenma's.

1 pretty setter squad :) 2 wing spiker and right wing spiker are very similar! left (aka outside hitter) spikes more than the right (aka opposite hitter) and the right blocks more too 3 i, again, have 0 thoughts for rhythlin and the lists are flexible!! its just an au go crazy w it 4 yeah specialists go in only sometimes! yamaguchi has a float serve (iirc) so ! hiiro is similar to him as he goes in for his special serve as well

PRETTY SETTER SQUAD OMG HOW COULD I FORGET!!!!

ohhh i see! I have to check the post again uhhh... OH okay these positions make so much more sense now

so hiiro and niki don't play for majority of the time? (forgot how volleyball rotations work))

looking through old home videos and found one of me playing in my middle school volleyball camp 😟
