It's kind of shocking how Hinata is so commonly characterized as someone who is perfect at making friends and is a 100% extrovert-- which yes, he is, but I think people are forgetting how much anxiety he has and how much of a people pleaser he is. I'm rewatching Haikyuu rn and I'm on S1 E5, and the way Daichi came up to Hinata and his immediate response was "I'll block, I'll set, I'll do whatever you need me to!!" And the way he makes promises he can't keep because he wants people to like him is kind of sad. I doubt he had many friends growing up other than Izumi and Kouji, and was probably bullied for being loud, obnoxious, and a weirdo for playing volleyball with the girls or being so into volleyball. So now he makes promises he can't keep and tries to go above and beyond for the team because he doesn't want them to get rid of him or not take him seriously. Yes, he's good at making friends, but I doubt he knows how or why. He's clearly worried that people are only friends with him out of convenience and his jumping skills; that since they play together, they /have/ to be friends. He just wants to finally be of use to someone; for someone to take him seriously; someone who won't ignore him around other people bc they don't want to be seen with him (silly funny little hc of mine 🥰🥰) . But that's also why Karasuno is so great, because they really are a family. They love Hinata and are friends with him, and they like him because he's a good person, not because they have to be since they play together, or just because he's skilled and they want to take that from him. And maybe at first, Hinata didn't realize that, since after being ignored and bullied and mocked, he thought the only way someone would possibly want him around was because he could help them win. And since he's so short, of course, taller, older, buffer players would intimidate him because they could easily take advantage of the height difference, so all of his bathroom encounters are NOT helping his anxiety 😭😭😭 and the puking??? When hinata threw up on Tanaka?? Everybody is always so focused on Yamaguchi's anxiety that they don't look at or even realize Hinata's anxiety. LITERALLY, THE ENTIRETY OF EP5 IS ABOUT HINATA'S ANXIETY AND PEOPLE PLEASING BEHAVIOR,,, WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT IT???? THE KEY SCENE LIKE 20 MINUTES IN??? (For ref, Daichi, Suga, and Kageyama are talking about Hinatas behavior, and Daichi imagines a scene: He hands Hinata the club room keys, Hinata says he'll take it, Daichi says, "I never told you where to keep it, so I brought it", and Hinata bows repeatedly saying he's sorry (about 6 times)) THAT IS NOT NORMAL!!! And then he's so worried about not doing well because he feels like he needs to make up for everything (his height, his lack of skill, his lack of experience on a team, the incident with Kageyama, etc), AHH HE LITERALLY SAYS, "This isn't like junior high...because I can be replaced! I don't want that. I don't want to be replaced. " BUT NOBODY CARES?? NOT ONE PERSON IN THIS FANDOM (THAT I HAVE SEEN) TALKS ABOUT ANY OF THIS!!! All I ever see is how Hinata has tons of friends and is so popular and is a people magnet, but does anybody ever think that he's probably anxious because those friends might get bored of him and find new friends?? That since Kenma has known Kuroo a lot longer and already doesn't really like people, he might just decide to stop talking to him?? Or that Kageyama might get bored of Hinata and stop hanging out with him outside of volleyball?? Or that Daichi and/or Coach Ukai will one day realize that he isn't really that special, and anyone can jump or run fast, so he gets replaced??? Literally I bet his WORST FEAR is being replaced and forgotten.

Randomly Generated Haikyuu Character #51: Sekimukai Kouji

Date drawn: September 29, 2023

Kouji and Izumi’s friendship with Hinata is so sweet and wholesome and the two of them deserve more love! They’re so supportive of everyone’s favorite little tangerine!

Screenshot redraw, comparison and my thoughts under the cut!

I seriously love all of the silly faces in this series, they bring me so much joy, and this one was too silly not to redraw :))

I’m getting a bit better at drawing spiky hair, I didn’t struggle with this one nearly as much as I did before! I still hold the opinion that he looks like a mini Iwaizumi

Lost in the Crossfire

Read this masterpiece on AO3 at https://ift.tt/sQFVc86

by Le_Tourbillon

As Japan celebrates Emperor Hinata Goro, civil unrest from the Beta population disrupts the event with violence. Few of the nobility survive, and the Royal Family is kidnapped; hostages to a new regime built on a warped sense of equality. It’s a Beta uprising and the world is turned upside down with Shouyou caught in the crossfire.

Once the reconstructed country has fallen into the cruel routine of a dystopian nightmare, a boy is found with no name or history. He’s sent to the Karasuno Orphanage to be cared for by Sugawara and Daichi. They give him a new name and pack to belong to.

One day, the royal family’s resting place is discovered, but one body is missing. Rumor is that Prince Shouyou escaped. Three factions are on the hunt. A Beta leader wants to reach a peaceful resolution. The military wants to be rid of any threat to them. A resistance group wants to bring back the monarchy. A fourth option offers safety in a foreign country.

Being pulled into contradicting directions, how is Shouyou supposed to know who to trust? And when so many want to mate with him, the line between honesty and ulterior motives are further blurred. Who will Shouyou align with? And who will win his heart?

How have I only just noticed this adorable piece of art at the end of volume 1?

[watrrmelonsandvolleyball]

what if... hear me out... sports manga/anime soccer spinoff with koji or basketball with izumi-

[haikyuu-loves-thiccies]

Ah yay! So I was wondering, like how in season 3 I think how they see each other again, what if Hinata introduced them to the short chubby fem manager? 👀 or just general s/o relationship headcanons instead if you’d like ^_^

YEAH BABEEYEYEY

- Hinata couldn't wait to show off the cutie manager to the his old friends.

- yeah he was excited to see them, yes, but like.. showing off cute girl! Showing off his volleyball skills!! all kinds of fun!!

- They watched him play a game, so they most definitely saw you- but it was just a practice game. Not really action packed as far as what you'd have been doing.

- “Soooooooo this is y/n-senpai!~” Hinata had introduced you with a big smile- it doesn't matter what grade you're in, you're his senpai.

- Now, you're standing between three overhyper first years and you're blushing, unsure of what to do. They keep talking too fast- too much excited jibberish, for you to decipher.

- Izumi is not blushing so much as he is just unable to talk to you. He's freaking out trying to say that you're such a sweet lady but like.. you're also pretty!! What does he do!!

- Kouji can't stop staring at you- and he's blushing bright red so it's very obvious.

- Kouji might get a boner if you give him.. special attention.

Forming a relationship with Kouji Or Izumi

- As their age, a blushy shy baby relationship is most likely with the both of them

- Kouji is more likely to be >:(!!!! protective!!! While Izumi is just like uwu here hold my hand.

- however if you're OLDER than the boys.... ;)

- you'll be busy cooing over some babies and telling them how big and strong they are getting ;0

- they “hate” it but like they don't so... never stop >:)

- Kouji tops and fucks like a rabbit~

- Izumi likes being ridden and squishing thighs~

- Long term, Kouji is the type to do stay-in date nights with dinner, movies, take out or anything like that. Mostly just cuddling!

- Izumi is more likely to say “hey lets go out to this arcade- or to this mall or-”

- the list goes on

- but somedays he's pretty low energy so cuddle nights are.. pretty common too uwu

thanks for the ask!!!!!

Every kids living in the hell called The Districts were gifted. But Shouyou, he was painfully normal. Giftless.

—

.

.

“The reaping is tomorrow, how are you doing Shouyou?” Kouji asked him as he plopped down in front of his batch of carefully dried and bleached rags. Shouyou lifted his head up and shrugged at his friend. “I'm doing fine, I guess,” He replied. Kouji sighed as he picked up a bucket of still wet linens and dried them to add to Shouyou's batch. “Thanks!” Shouyou brightened up. Bleaching rags was a boring job but Shouyou needed to fill up his quota if he wanted his little sister to eat something other than acorns. Natsu was a good kid. She wouldn't complain about whatever edible things Shouyou could bring to their table, but Shouyou loved his sister very much, and whenever the situation allowed him to do so he would try his best to give the best for her. In this situation it was proper meals in exchange of tedious labor. Shouyou needed at least 10 buckets for one complete set of bento. 5 more to go now.

“Don’t you worry? I meant–” Kouji leaned to whisper, “your point if calculated will be the top of the bracket tonight. Your chance to get pick is like 70% bigger than others.”

Shouyou thought about their last conversation in the woods. Kouji had done a chart and calculate every kids they known in their district and their possible points on the bracket by August 17–that is today. Shouyo then told him the favour he'd had asked a month ago when Natsu had gotten high fever. She—they, really needed the medicine badly. Kouji had looked at him despairingly after that. They both knew Shouyou was doomed.

Shouyou was worried, terrified even. Of course he was. How could he not when he was the only kid in their district with no gift? In the event where he got himself selected as champion of District 12 he'd most certainly not come out of the game alive.

Except, Shouyou thought with determination, he might not.

No one knows this, not even his closest friends, but Shouyou had been practicing since he was 11 after he knew for certain he was one of the rare cases of kids without gifts. Usually children born in The Districts have their gift showed by the age of 5 to 8. Some late bloomers probably had them by the age of 10 but never past it. Shouyou was devastated when his gift never showed. How could he protect his sister when he was weak and helpless? And what if the once-in-four-years reaping came and he finally at age for selection? What if he got picked and he left his sister alone with a possibility of never coming back? So that's why at his 11th birthday he went to the forbidden forest and started practicing by himself. He would went hunting wild animals, evaded the carnivorous ones without getting into bloodied encounters, outsmart the more cunning beasts, learned to differentiate which plants poisoned and which were edible, learned to produce something out of nothing. He was not completely helpless, damn it. His late mother was a hunter herself and long before she died she had taught him everything she knew about the forest—and surely surviving the most dangerous forest in the world meant something, right? He could survived the game. He would. Maybe he won't be able to attack anyone, much less kill them in combat, but he was confident he could stay alive, it’s not like there was any other choice.

It’s a survival game, if he got picked then all he needed to do was to survive the one month hell.

“–you? Shouyou!”

“I'm sorry, what?” Shouyou snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Kouji waved his hand dangerously close to his eyes. Kouji frowned. “You're so out of it this morning,” he said instead.

“Izumi told me that he'd called you on your way here and you didn't even spare him a glance.”

Shouyou just smiled sheepishly and said he was in a hurry since the bento he wanted to buy was only available until noon.

“I know.” Kouji playfully shoved his shoulder. “That's why I'm here to help you. Wouldn't want to disappoint Natsu now, would we?”

“Nope!” He grinned.

“Besides, I know that I've been harassing you with dumb question now. Of course you're worried! That's why you're quieter than usual–than ever, I meant.” the brunette shrugged. “But if I know half things about you it's that you won't let anything bad happened to Natsu. In the event that the worst thing do in fact, come true, you'll do your best.” Kouji held his hand and made him look at his friend in the eyes. Shouyou saw hope and worry and wishful confidence in Kouji's face.

“You're stronger than anyone when the most important thing on stake, you know?” Shouyou knew. “You'll be okay.” He hoped so.

ooh what's birth of a monster?? :)

i've mentally renamed it 'birth of a star' and. forgot to rename the document. it's about hinata's rise as a volleyball player through the eyes of one of his oldest friends: izumi yukitaka

snippet below!

The beginnings of a star are nigh unnoticeable, clouds of gas that grow and grow over time, but their pull is undeniable - Yukitaka finds his gaze drawn to Shouyou, as if in anticipation of something he can’t foresee.

He’s there, later, when the center of gravity truly forms. They’re riding their bikes, and Shouyou stops somewhere behind Yukitaka without him realizing it. Yukitaka turns, and he finds himself staring, eyes wide - but Shouyou’s are wider as he stares at the TV in the local tech store, frozen as everything falls into place.

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,,,
