#like Akaashi is the same thing really lol

[struwberrii]

I've seen your hq! date night ideas and wonder if I can ask for this; what about their indoor date ideas for maybe when they're too tired from games/works or maybe when they have to raincheck bc of storms, etc.? Any characters of your choices but I'd love kuroo, oikawa, and maybe hinata, please?

Thank you!

haikyuu boys indoor date night headcanons ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡

characters: hinata, kageyama, bokuto, akaashi, kenma, kuroo, iwaizumi, oikawa

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

hinata

movie night date!!

would probably want to just hang out on the couch and eat snacks

probably would want to match an old dad humor comedy, like an adam sandler movie

would also door dash you guys fast food

you guys commentary on the movie make it 10% funnier

probably is so tired he falls asleep half way through the movie

i feel like he knows all the best deserts and you guys would be feasting

LOTS of cuddling the entire time

kageyama

board games!!

i feel like he would NOT play about spoons

also i feel like he’d we oddly good at monopoly

you guys make food, put music on and just play games together

he probably lets you win sometimes bc he thinks it’s cute when you get excited

kisses you on the head as a reward for winning (if you do win)

he gets really into the games though, but your happiness is his priority

bokuto

karaoke date!!

i feel like he’d prefer going out for a date but if you were tired he’d stay in with you

he is SO LOUD

he hits those notes though

he locks in extra hard when a bruno mars song comes on the tv

you guys eat chips and drink soda all night

constantly motivating you to do a duet with him

would probably sing so hard he’d get tired and fall asleep in your living room (·•᷄∩•᷅ )

akaashi

cooking lessons online!!

probably brings you flowers before

would probably look up a video and try to replicate the recipe with you

you guys make dinner and dessert :3

super cute, like he feeds you while you’re cooking and it’s so romantic the whole time

you guys listen to like jazz music

the food actually ends up really good

kenma

video game date!! (boring ik im sorry)

he teaches you how to play his fav games

he’s vv patient too, he tries his best to teach you though even if you kinda suck lol

probably orders you guys fast food too

let’s you win when you guys play fighting games occasionally and if he does beat you he makes sure it’s a very close game

let’s you feed him (so cute)

you guys end up falling asleep to a movie together at the end of the night

kuroo

lego building date!!

or like any model of something lol

would probably get something super nerdy like a star wars ship

makes you guys drinks while you build them

i feel like he wears glasses for some reason like does he? idk am i crazy? i feel like hed be wearing glasses during this

brags if he finishes his section before you even though he gave you a way harder part to build than his lol

helps you after though

every little thing is distracting you guys but you end up finishing by the end of the night and keeping it in your bedroom

iwaizumi

yoga date!!

he would probably talk you into doing it and put a video on the tv for you guys

i feel like even indoors he would still try to stay active and fit

helps you stretch or spots you

the date probably turns into him giving you a massage (if u guys r anything like that youll NEED that massage after a 15 min yoga video)

makes you guys smoothies to drink as a treat for "finishing" even though you never finished the full video

oikawa

reading together!!

i feel like with all the stuff oikawa has going on, a chill quiet night is just what he needs at the end of the day to clear his mind

finds a book you both like and buys 2 copies so you guys can read at the same time

you guys sit cuddled on the couch reading your books under the dim lamp lighting

probably lights candles too

has audible reactions to anything crazy that happens in the book, like he'll gasp or go like "no way" out loud and then ask if you got to that part yet

you guys have a set chapter you stop at

serious discussion about the book afterwards (except its not actually that serious (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

you end up falling asleep in his arms on the couch hehehe

Heyo! Quick request here because my FYP wants to make me suffer with all the Bokuto angst I’ve been seeing related to different fics (like in another life, ect). WHY DO FANFIC AUTHORS KEEP KILLING HIM OFF??? ITS DRIVING ME NUTS 😭😭 Anyway, I’d like to request some fluff with Bokuto to counteract the angst I’ve been seeing. Maybe the reader wakes up from a nightmare similar to what’s been going on in these fics and he cheers her up by being his normal happy self? Take that my FYP hahaha

"so he’s killed in the straight aus and sent back to be with akaashi cause we will nvr recover from in another life" -yves 2024

Jolting awake, you felt fresh tears rolling past your cheeks and staining your pillow. Eyes wide, you scanned your surroundings. Same room, same bed, same pyjamas...

Was that all a dream? But... It had felt so terrifyingly real that you had woken up in a cold sweat with ugly tears streaming down your face. Heart palpitating, you tried to regulate your breathing and convinced yourself that it was just a dream.

Feeling a warm breath brush the back of your neck, you turned to see your boyfriend, Bokuto Kōtarō, sleeping soundly next to you. His breaths were slow and deep, and you watched as his bare chest rose and fell. With a beefy arm slung over your waist, he held you close to him throughout the night, keeping you warm. The dim moonlight from your window illuminated his features and his face looked so peaceful (and beautiful) you couldn't help but stare.

Breathing a sigh of relief, you soaked up the warmth radiating from his body. Not wanting to wake him, you furiously wiped the tears from your cheeks and tried to quiet your sobs.

Unfortunately for you, Bokuto's hearing was as sharp as an owl's, and he stirred with a groggy "Y/n?"

A sniffle.

He jerked his head up to look at you clearly. Your head was buried in his chest. "Y/n?"

Another sniffle. He was starting to panic.

"Babe! Babe, what happened?" He asked softly, placing a hand under your chin and tilting your head up. He swore he heard his heart go crack when he saw your tears. You responded by burying your face in his neck again.

Realising you probably weren't ready to talk just yet, he decided to distract you first. Pulling your trembling body to his, he gently rubbed circles on your back and pressed a sweet kiss to your temple.

He hummed, "You know, I was thinking the other day. Maybe we could install a small spinning light thingy in the corner of our room so it's not so dark at night. I know you don't really like it when it's pitch black in the room sooo I figured maybe that could help! I was scrolling online and saw some designs I thought you'd like, but I forgot to copy the link to send it to you but I can look for it again and show it to you later-"

He paused abruptly when you raised your head, sitting up and looking at him with a half-smile on your face.

"You okay?" He asked, concern taking over his features. He shifted so that you both were half sitting with your legs still tangled under the blanket. "Wanna talk about it?"

With yet another sniffle, you nodded. As you recounted your nightmare, Bokuto continued rubbing your arm soothingly, occasionally wiping away your tears with his thumb. His head was tilted to the side in the most adorable fashion and his eyes were fully focused on you as you spoke.

"And... and then you died," You whispered, voice hoarse and shaky. Looking into his bright amber eyes, you continued. "It was so scary, Kō..."

"But I’m right here, aren’t I?" He asked almost immediately. Bending down to your eye level, he looked at you with such a pure and genuine smile. Your heart beat faster under his gaze.

"And I’m gonna be right here forever. I’ll be here when you wake up from bad dreams and good dreams, and I’ll be here on the nights you can’t fall asleep. I’ll be your protector, Y/n!” He continued, beaming. He swiftly placed a kiss on your forehead. “I’ll protect you from all the nightmares, I promise! And see? I’m totally fine! Those killers ain't got nothing on us. I won’t let ‘em touch my baby.”

He concluded his little cheer-up speech with a sweet kiss on your lips. His hand brushed your jaw, pulling you closer. If you weren’t seated firmly on the bed, your knees probably would’ve given out from how sweet the kiss was. Either that or you would’ve gotten severe cavities before the kiss ended.

Pulling away, he wrapped you up in his arms and you felt your lips pull into a smile. His cheery mood really was contagious.

Gently pushing you into a lying position, he grabbed the blanket and pulled it over your bodies, essentially bundling the two of you together.

“Time to get some sleep, babe. I’ll be right here, ‘kay?” He said, now hugging you under the covers. You hummed, feeling safe and content.

“Oh yeah, we should definitely get a spinning light thingy. It might help with the nightmares ‘cause it won’t be as dark,” you piped up. Chuckling, Bokuto agreed.

“I love you,” he whispered, closing his eyes.

“I love you more,” you yawned.

“I love you the most-est!”

You felt another kiss on the crown of your head before you drifted off to sleep.

a/n: UMMM i hope this was nightmarish/comfort/cheery enough?? IDK IM SORRY IF IT DIDNT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS 😭 but still, tysm for requesting and thanku for reading too!! hope u liked it :,) (feel free to request another part if you’re not satisfied)

ASTROLOGY BOT

1.2k words, just timeskip akaashi overthinking and crushing on gn!reader. LOL

akaashi has always considered himself ‘on the fence’ when it comes to superstitions and signs from the universe.

he might say ghosts aren’t real, but never goes near a supposedly haunted site just in case. he’ll ignore videos titled “for you” if he can’t relate, say it must have been a sign only after something goes wrong, and never acts on them even if he knows he has to.

but he can’t deny that he thinks about it throughout the day when it’s something he hopes is true—that maybe he’s tried out a few filters and trends to see if you, his crush of way too long, were his soulmate.

it’s bokuto this time, though, that sends him a sign.

a tweet, really.

an astrology bot on twitter that tweeted 17 minutes ago— “sagittarius, tell them you like them. they like you, too.”

AKAASHI!!!

i told you!!!

i turned their post notifications on to see if they’d say anything funny again and LOOK!!!!

keiji watches his friend’s texts come in through as notifications, eyes mostly fixed on the tweet, re-reading it over and over.

it’s a minute before he texts back.

it’s just a bot bokuto

it doesn’t actually mean anything

but bokuto is typing replies in mere seconds,

awwwww come on :((

remember when they were like

be careful virgo they don’t have the best intentions >:(

and IT WAS ABOUT ME ALMOST GETTING SCAMMED!! THEY STOPPED A SCAM!!! O____O

whats the worst thing that could happen???

i mean.. well…at least the worst thing that could happen ISNT u losing a bunch of money T_____T

imagine if u lost hundreds of dollars bc u confessed ;——; scary…

keiji breathes out a laugh.

i won’t lose hundreds of dollars but it’d haunt me for the rest of my life like every other embarrassing thing that’s ever happened and u know that

but thank you

i’ll think about telling them

he’s vaguely aware of bokuto sending another text with his name in all caps before he turns off his phone. it lands somewhere beside him on his comforter, and he takes off his glasses if only to run his hands down his face.

there’s a feeling he gets, akin to both butterflies and a 10 meter drop, when one of these bots decides to let his imagination get away from him.

for a few minutes keiji lets himself think it might be true, and that you think about going on dates with him the same way he does with you.

the latest idea he had was taking you to a new board game cafe that had opened nearby. he had skipped then swiped back up to its ad—a perfect spot for couples looking to spice up a regular cafe date!

he hadn’t closed his curtains properly that night, and the moon lit up his room while he stared at the ceiling. would you be competitive? would you rather play a co-op game?

would you see him sipping on his drink, and ask to have a taste?

he thought about how he might accidentally have some foam above his lip, and how you’d softly laugh before tapping above your own to signal his appearance. he cringed at the possible humiliation of looking silly in front of you, but it went away with the foam you’d gently swipe with your thumb, or maybe even hold his face to kiss away instead. you’d tease him and say it was as sweet as him.

but it’s nonsensical.

as far as keiji knows, whoever runs the account is using a random generator to pick a sign and bullshitting every tweet in their drafts.

it’s almost always only a sentence anyway.

but does that mean it’s a sign that this one was two?

keiji forces himself to stop thinking and takes a deep breath, letting the warmth hit his palms still covering his face. silence washes over him, and he lets his ears focus on the traffic outside, and the sound of the washing machine running a couple of rooms away.

but then he thinks about you. and he scrunches his eyes shut and groans, hands moving to grip his hair before he rolls over onto his stomach.

there’s a thud as his phone hits the ground while he pulls the blanket to cover his head.

sagittarius, tell them you like them. they like you, too.

sagittarius, tell them you like them. they like you, too.

not just tell them you like them, as if it was a shove to be courageous for once, but they like you, too.

did you like him, too?

was he good enough for you to like him?

did you hate him?

was he going to trust an astrology bot as uninformed about your feelings as he was?

maybe more importantly, was he going to let a bot dictate whether he finally confesses to you after almost a year of pining? a year based on the fact that one day you held the elevator door open for him with a smile and already knew what floor he needed?

(you had noticed him as the new employee, though he didn’t notice you while busy getting used to his job. he made sure to note the fact you got off the floor above him so he could press the button for you next time.)

and keiji doesn’t really believe in signs or the supernatural. he doesn’t want to let himself, because if he does then there’s probably a ghost in that shut-down building on his way to work, he’s gotten himself twenty years of bad luck, and he’s big enough of a coward that the universe decided to take it upon itself to tell him that itself.

but he’s hiding under his blanket when the absurdity of it all hits him—the anxiety and what-ifs and pretending he didn’t know you liked going for lunch a little earlier than him, and that he didn’t plan his break to say hello—and he feels like he’s sixteen again.

and maybe if there’s one thing he doesn’t want to feel other than being rejected, he thinks it’s being sixteen again.

so he jolts up.

and somewhere, in the back of his mind, keiji wonders if the universe jolted up with him, excited to see where this goes.

adrenaline working, he reaches for his glasses and fumbles to put them on with one hand while the other feels the floor to find his phone. the bright screen makes him squint, and the notification of bokuto’s “AKAASHIII :((” welcomes him before anything else.

sagittarius, tell them you like them. they like you too.

the tweet seems to be engraving itself into his mind as his shaky fingers hold his phone, and he taps your icon.

he skims the last text you had sent,

thanks keiji!! i’ll see u tomorrow then :) and remember we get off early!

it's a little embarrassing how his chest tightens at you his name and a smiley face. but he goes to type one himself, spending a second to mentally tell the astrology account they’re changing lives, but nothing more or else he thinks he might throw up—

btw if you’re free, did you want to grab food after work? there’s a cafe i wanted to check out with you :)

[httpserb]

okay so while i work on chapter 2 (I'm so sorry its late I'm a highschool senior with 4 ap classes, 2 gifted classes, and insomnia. I'm trying my best i swear) I'm going to give out some content and stuff like things to expect in the fic

this is friendships/relationships that will kage will experience with small explanations :D (these are out of order)

lev & kage - ok so I plan on having miwa and alisa get together so i find it funny if they were awkward but lev immediately attaches to kage and they're like brothers

akaashi & kage & kenma - ok so they're all introverted and i know kenma and akaashi are cool but like i can see akaashi realize kage is mean or angry just really awkward and weird at times so he recommends him to join his and kenma's game nights and one Minecraft world later they're all attached at the hip

atsumu & osamu & kage - originally i think atsu and kage have a rivalry and mutual respect for each other until atsu realizes samu and kage are good friends (bc kage is always eating samu's curry rice balls, he has become samu unofficial food tester lol) and atsu is obvi trying to be the better twin so they end up getting closer at setters like a more equal standing unlike oikawa & kage or suag & kage who were mentors (in a way looking at you sideways oikawa bc your teaching methods were ... interesting [don't misintterupt this i love oikawa])

ushijima & kage - ok so they're both autistic, you'd have to rip that headcannon out my dead cold hands, and i can see ushijima watching kage and realizing 'oh he is like me' and they just connect like bluetooth

kyotani & kage - i actually love them bc they're both similar to me (i also find oikawa and kyotani's relationship interesting as he is in personality and raw talent and skill similar to kage and ik oikawa felt threatened cb kage was a setter but him moving along with you after the kitagawa incident is very interesting tbh) anyways i imagine they'd accidently connect like at the same gym and bond by shitting on oikawa (i imagine he'd want to hit some of kage's kingly tosses too)

yachi & kage - wlw & mlm solidarity, i love them sm, yachi realizing after seeing kage awkwardly attempt to pet a cat that he is really cute but in a sibling or little kid way so she can no longer find him scary but gets protective and explains social situations for him when he doesn't understand

coach ukai & kage - i imagine while coach takeda was hinata's coach, coach ukai was kage's bc he was blunt in a way kage understood and no extra words for needed, plus i like to think they were both very honest which each other so if ukai said kage was messing up he'd be upset but believe him and take a break

kage & tsuki - so i stand by the fact kage is smart but in odd strangely specific ways like physics but not general science and math and tsuki finds out and loses his shit bc kage is lowkey better than him but doesn't do anything with this, this kinda begins their actual friendship tho bc kage gets to talk about physics (esp astrophysic his favorite bc his dad's job [a personal headcannon])

kogane & kage - kogane worshipping the ground kage walks on bc he is such a good setter and kage trying to help teach kogane but he isn't good with words but despite this kogane understands him somehow!?

kuroo & kage - i think kuroo would recognize kage as someone similar to kenma but not only that but as hinata's best friend and as kenma's best friend who is friends with hinata he'd do some mental math to become kage's friend. plus i think he'd (like tsuki) recognize kage is dumb, but smart in different ways and try to draw it out of him (he also finds it funny to adopt/befriend all the karasuno first years [he has plans for yachi & yama])

tendou & kage - took one look and thought him and ushijima are of the same breed so he could befriend him (probably) but other than that i think tendou being seen as scary or freakish, even being referred to as a monster could relate to kage and his king od the court incident so maybe they'd bond through that

ok that is all i can think of rn and if a friendship isn't on here it's because it probably something I'm already going to do. this list was mostly headcannon or me taking a small relationship, blowing it up, then putting it under a microscope for personal enjoyment

(here is some food: @youwerethedefeated @infinitemilk @ushouldwatchhaikyuu @kagehiner @cosmorom @greynoceur @pixiesnooze @kagehiner )

[eggyrocks]

i remember you doing a poll long time ago, about who would win a love island and ever since i’ve been thinking about of how messy it would be if it all of your couples would be in the show. i feel like syrup yn and oikawa would definitely cause unnecessary arguments to get screentime and we would see them giggle about it during the night. static yn and noya seem like they would try pull pranks on the other couples or instigate beef in order for them to win which could possibly backfire on them (specifically pull pranks on get back yn and hinata since they could be a fans favourite due to them being cute childhood lovers) RAMBLING BUT IT WOULD BE SO CHAOTIC HELP

NO BECAUSE LET ME GET INTO IT

on repeat yn and kageyama get together on night one and stay together the entire time; they're just minding their business in the villa and do not get involved in any drama between the other couples (despite how much oikawa tries to drag kageyama into it) producers and the viewers forget about them but then they like come in top three because people like how chill they are together

syrup yn and oikawa are arguing every single day abt stupid shit and you're absolutely right it's for screen time. they would take challenges so seriously and they would purposefully do shady things for drama ( oikawa gets the question "who in the villa do u think is the fakest" and he would pick yn and she would cry about it but then ur right during the night they'd be like 'lmafo'). a bombshell would come in and try to steal away yn tho and oikawa would genuinely spin out. (that pool scene with rob this season lmaffoo) and yn would be like can u calm down i dont like him

calloused hands yn and kuroo have DRAMAAAAAAA oh my god they have like honest ot god drama because yn has trust issues and kuroo comes on too dedicated & strong too soon so he's like day one "yeah this is my girl i want her" and she's like "hmmmmm i'm gonna wait and give it a second" and viewers don't like her because they think she's leading kuroo on but she's like "???? sorry he's in love with me i didn't make him" but eventually she does start to get on the same level as him and they're smooth sailing from there. they have die hard fans watching at home.

35mm yn and akaashi have a slow burner but they would never even entertain the idea of anyone else. they would both sleep on the outside beds during casa amor. people would call them a married couple and everyone else would come to them for advice. akaashi asks yn to be his girlfriend right after casa amor and then some new girl comes in right after and chooses to recouple with akaashi and the whole entire villa erupts into chaos but yn is actually unbothered

static yn and noya would be in a "friendship couple" and be like yeah we're looking for other connections until one day randomly in the middle of the night like halfway through the show they're just making out and they're like yeah actually we have a really strong connection :) noya would be possessive every time a new guy came in and cling to yn to let him know she was not available. anon u are correct they absolutely try fucking with everyone else

there's no queer relationships on love island which is stupid and also homophobic but if there were kiyoko and inked yn would absolutely win everyone would be in love with them from the start and it would be clear that they were like soulmates. halfway through they would be like "do u wanna just leave together i dont wanna be here with these people anymore" loyal from day 1

atsumu and count your losses yn do not start off together. atsumu wants only her but she's coupled up with someone else so he's kind of a player so he can stay in the villa until yn is out of her other couple and he's free to pursue her lol. she pretends not to like him but when someone else tries to steal him away she gets crazy jealous.

i feel like get back yn would be a day 1 girlie and hinata would be a bombshell and she would be like "oh my god. that's my ex." and it would be all over twitter. she hates him at first but he's obsessed with getting her back and the producers are definitely pushing them together. ur right they're fan favorites and when they finally get together (after FOREVER, post casa amor when it seems like the producers are rigging the recouplings just to keep both of them on) it trends for like a week

maneater yn and iwa are definitely that couple that are forced to couple up together (like they got voted by the public to be together or smth) and they don't get it at all. constantly fighting and bickering and shading each other during challenges and when they have to kiss they like. hardly do it and the producers get mad at them. and then no one's sure what happened because they still act like that except they chose to stay together during every recoupling and start hooking up at night but they still bicker and argue and shade each other and everyone is actually so confused about it

callloused hands yn and maneater yn and count your losses yn are best friends they're a very popular trio. they love holding all the men accountable and talking a ton of shit

get back yn, static yn, and inked yn are also very good friends and they spend most of their time on the villa together. they get in the pool a lot so they can take their mics out and try to teach each other morse code so they can talk without someone listening in/the producers getting mad at them but it doesn't work out

syrup yn, on repeat yn, and 35mm are our final trio and they are the criers. they love a good heart to heart and know how to put it on for the cameras. producers love them. they have little therapy sessions together but they're not real and they're definintely hamming it up. on repeat yn and 35mm yn do a lot of "comforting" of syrup yn when her and oikawa get into their 584 fake argument

akaashi makes 35mm an avacado toast and a coffee every morning and by the time she gets out she never wants to see another avacado again

noya got banned from cooking so static yn makes him breakfast in the morning and makes jokes abt being a trad wife that get cut from the show

iwa's always working out in that fuck ass gym and maneater yn walks and makes fun of him and says things like "bet you can't do a pull up with me on your back!"

iwa and kageyama get in trouble with producers because they never wanna do confessionals but their couples are up in there yapping 24/7 in that confessional booth

kuroo and ch yn are the best dressed couple in the villa

[ceijoh]

you are in love

contents: it's just pure fluff.

notes: hbd week to me, let's all celebrate by feeling all warm & fuzzy inside.

masterlist

…he says, ‘look up’ and your shoulders brush. no proof, one touch but you felt enough…

It was at the end of the night, a nice and warm Spring night. You could hear the faint sounds coming from the small shop you just left. 

“Would you look at that,” gazing at him, you could see a faint smile on his face as he turned to you. 

“What?” You wondered, following his gaze you looked up. You could see the white twinkling stars shining down at you. 

“Do you see those seven stars just there?” You followed where his finger pointed, trying as hard as you could, you couldn’t really see anything. It all seemed a blur to you. 

“To be honest with you, I can’t see it, all I can are the stars,” you expected him to get mad and drop whatever he was going to tell you. While gazing at the stars was something you enjoyed, you never were able to distinguish the different constellations. 

Going around behind you, you could feel the warmth of his chest. “Here,” holding your hand, he covered your hand, leaving just the pointer finger. With his hand he guided you to where he was looking before. “Those seven stars,” he tapped your finger gently as he pointed out each star. 

“That is the Corona Borealis,” he explained softly. “Legend has it that it was worn by Princess Ariadne at her wedding to Dionysus. Placing his hand down gently, he wrapped his arms around your waist. “She helped Theseus, the man who killed the minotaur, but he left her one night. She was crying when she first met Dionysus. He took one look at her and he fell in love.” 

“Just like that?” You asked. “He took one look at her and fell in love?” You lightly traced the pattern of the seven points again. It was smaller than the other constellations but it was there. You were finally happy to know that you can look up at the stars tomorrow night and find it. 

He gazed down at you but you couldn’t see, still too mesmerised by the stars and the story. Looking at your features that were softly lighted by the moon and the stars. “Yeah, he took one look at her and fell in love.” 

You hummed contentedly, unaware of the feeling that you’ve stirred up from the man behind you. “Tell me more,” you melted yourself to his chest. 

Pressing a soft kiss to the back of your head, he gently took your hand again. It’s an innocent and small touch but in that moment you saw yourself fifty years from now doing that exact same gesture. 

haikyuu: ushijima, sakusa, tsukishima, akaashi, aone, suna, kuroo

jujutsu kaisen: suguru, nanami, choso, noritoshi

…you keep his shirt, he keeps his word. and for once, you let go, of your fears and ghost…

It was tough, being in a relationship sometimes. While it was easy with him, how easy it was to love him, you hated the fights and the agony that came with it. 

“What are you doing?” Childishly tugging the blanket back to your side, you made a show of huffing when it didn’t move. 

He shrugged as if that gesture explained it to you. You called out his name, impatience laced in your tone. When he didn’t answer, you repeated his name. 

Turning to you, “What was it I told you when we first moved in?” 

“I don’t know,” you shrugged. Racking your brain, “Don’t leave empty cartons in the fridge?” 

“No,” he stated simply. “I told you that no matter what, no matter what we’re feeling or we’re going through, we are never, ever sleeping apart.” 

Now you remembered it. It was the first day you guys moved in together. You just finished cracking a bottle of wine to celebrate finally unpacking most of your things. Both of you sat around furniture made out of boxes, take-out in front of you. 

“I love you,” you were taken aback as you spluttered out the words, your story half-finished. You’ve heard it plenty of times before by the man sitting next to you. But there was something different in his eyes. 

“I just want to remember this,” it was uncharacteristic of him, this side being so open. He looked around and what he saw in front of him wasn’t just boxes, but boxes filled with both of your futures. Turning to you, he smiled, “Also I wanted you to remember this before we start putting the furniture together tomorrow.” 

You rolled your eyes, of course. It was an impending doom, the ultimate test of relationships; putting furniture together. “You’re an idiot.” 

Nudging your shoulder with his, “Promise me this.” Turning to him, you raised your brows. “Promise me that no matter how mad we get at each tomorrow, or in the future, you won’t sleep in another bed that isn’t ours.” 

“You’re an idiot,” you echoed your words from before. It was true but you were grateful for him. 

“Yeah, but I’m your best friend,” without looking at you, “and you’re my best friend, so shut it, go to sleep and we can continue fighting tomorrow.” 

“Fine, but I hope you know I’m winning,” you commented. 

“You’re an idiot,” a pause, then you felt his arms wrap around your waist. “I love you.” 

“I love you too.”

[suckishima]

okay so i know i posted a few weeks ago that i did get to see the haikyuu movie when i was in japan last month and ive been so busy i didnt fully have time to process lol so ive been writing down thoughts as i remember them so, spoilers under the cut (no particular order)

final rally pov shot was craaaaazyyy (sidenote i saw challengers today lmao and they did a similar pov shot thing a couple times and it reminded me how sick it was to see such a complicated thing be animated)

in addition to that tho, while i liked the drop of the music then to just have it be kenmas breathing, i felt lie his breathing seemed a little repetitive?? like it was possibly just the same couple voice recordings repeated???

and also tbh.. i kinda didnt love how after the super amazing pov animation the way they chose to animate the full court flashback to tokyo training camp was just like a flat pan around the room. it just didnt feel all that dynamic after seeing something so cool, and maybe it was just my screening but the image was kinda blurry and not that crisp at that part

in general tho i thought the sound design was really cool, so much of it just straight up felt like a live match happening, and the part when kenma tells hinata to stay interesting and the sound cuts out?? ooo v effective i thought

and then the birdcaaaage aaaah i loved the way the wings like got all stifled in the cage when kenma first trapped him and then ofc the bursting out of it oooo im excited to see it again in imax

there were a tonnnn of small moments that i assumed wouldnt make the cut that actually did too, yaku sitting on lev's back when he's doing pushups, the bokuto/kuroo hair swap flashback lmaooo, goshiki having to share his ipad with tendou (i cant remember for sure now if he actually says that or not but theyre definitely in the movie), bokuto and akaashi coming over and talking to yachi and ah i think theres more. a lot of them were shortened down a bit, but i appreciated them getting attention nonetheless. sadly no kuroo/lev poop conversation though lmaoo

i thought the kuroo/kenma flashbacks were pretty good as well, i think they possibly added a few lines?? it seemed like there were more frames of stuff of kuroo being inspired by the "lowering the net" concept which was really cool bc thats really integral to his character to me. and then theres this line where kenma is like "hinata has kageyama and i have kuroo" and uhhhh that is news to me!! im like 90% thats new content lmao, and oooo it was good, the shots they chose with it too gooood

oh for some reason they changed how kenma flops??? he falls with his butt up in the air instead of just flat??? like why lmao, obviously that was like an Actual Choice they made bc they had to draw it and obviously had the manga as reference and it makes no difference other than to confuse me lolll

im interested to see it again distributed by crunchyroll too bc im sure some of the subs i saw werent right, a few lines just didnt make sense and there were a few instances of like "lead blocking"

and okay. i gotta talk about the chapter 298 stuff

its there its in the movie!! but,, it's watered down lmao

and i think i was also too in my head and overanalyzing it which im disappointed in myself for so im hoping on rewatch ill have a better time

the "hes always been one step ahead of me after all" was like as perfect as it could get tbh, it looks just like the manga and tsukki like says it just right and yamaguchi comes onto the court behind him totally focused and aaah really loved it. then the service ace and tsukkis little laugh it really good

but then i'm torn on the actual serve and block, there's no inner thoughts on yamaguchis "oh no the ball isnt drifting enough" and then tsukkis silent reply "no that was plenty" before stuffing it, so we arent hearing their like mind reading/intuition connection there which was a bummer. and thennnn im not positive on this bit but i dont think anyone repeats anything about the serve and block being the perfect play?? (its yamaguchi echoing ukai in the manga) and then no little flashbacks to how theyve been training

HOWEVER the big main flashbacks of seeing how yamaguchi walks from behind tsukki to in front of him are there!!! and the way theyre presented is interesting? i was like taken aback by the decision to have the clips being showed within their silhouettes as they move toward each other (i couldnt even tell thats what it was at first tbh..) that i missed whether or not all the panels were in it..... (majorly disappointed in myself for that one). idk visually i found it a little confusing i guess and so i couldnt fully appreciate and im hoping itll look cool on rewatch when i understand whats happening

and then the high five ahhh it was pretty good, idk if anything will ever live up to that manga panel for me, the joy and success and sense of achievement in that image means so much to me lol, but its animated fairly well. do wish they didnt cover tsukkis smile tho

then kuroo asks how tsukki feels about volleyball and he says its fun and he smiles and its.. fine. like ugh its just one of those things were this entiiiire section just slightly suffered from being a two minute segment of a movie instead of a whole episode (or even just half an episode tbh), like something about his smile and saying it was fun just fell a little flat for me and i was unfortunately a little sad about it, i was hoping for a little more buildup and like emphasis. this is a huuuuge culminating moment for him and it didnt quite feel like it to me bc the movie had to have other priorities where a season wouldnt have

later one when tsukki and kuroo are like battling at the net exhausted tho and tsukki smiles again that was pretty good, the animated is really top notch when theyre all panting n stuff, and the voice acting there was great, really liked it

[baby-xemnas]

the weirdness and unconventionality of lawbepo are major charm points to me tbh!💕 i also really love how lawbepo elevates law’s character! it’s not that i didn’t like law before, but to be honest, i feel that a weakness of the character is that he is easily put into the “stoic badass with a tragic past and a secret heart of gold” stereotype. which is cool and fun, and it’s obviously a popular trope for a reason, but every anime/manga has this type of character tbh, and if nothing more is done with them, they can be kinda generic and one note. and it’s especially hard if the character is a side character, so it’s unlikely the creator will spend more time with them. unless it’s like for fanservice or something. so i like these types of characters but i don’t usually love them because of that.

that was how i used to feel about law, i liked him and thought his design was cool but that’s it. but everything is different now- like maybe it sounds insane to say, but considering “what if that bear is not just law’s vice captain, but also his first love from childhood? his babygirl? his ride-or-die wife?” has seriously like opened my third eye when it comes to law tbh lol, and i have you and your incredible art to thank for that! 🙏❤️‍🔥💕💯🔥✨

YOU PRETTY MUCH WENT THRU THE SAME JOURNEY AS MYSELF AND I LOVE THAT

yes so true all that....law by himself is only okay, yes hes sexy so ppl are crazy abt shipping him with whoever the fuck

but i really love when a sexy and intelligent character is WEIRD and its ignored by those around them cuz they are hot.

i like to bring him up cuz it was such a great discovery idk maybe someone will relate - i had that moment with akaashi haikyuu cuz i was like sure whatever, he is cute and bokuaka is FINE but when akaashis obsessive controlling calculative nature was revealed i had a real 💡!!! moment abt it and fell so hard for the character and the ship. like of you are pretty and WEIRD AF abt bokuto. gaslight gatekeepe girlboss. a dumbass' manipulative psycho boyfriend. perfect

and with Law honestly i cant commend japanese artists enough who saw Bepo day ONE and saw the potential of Law being very particular (pervert) about his bear - drawing dozens of comics of Law bleeding from the nose because Bepo is That cute. THEY REALLY HAD HIS NUMBER i meanwhile needed more convincing cuz im too canonfaggy to live off of Just the intro and the hug (all we had at the point where i got into op first) yes the hug was monumental and parially made up for the PH and DR lack of Bepo and having to tolerate the stupidity and insult of "law is gonna join SH/law is a honorary SH" no he wont, is not. die????

anyway yes it took me more fanservice to be like oh So we really ARE putting Law's softness for Bepo as one of the core characteristics? Not just a passing occasional thing like the hug was? Okay. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

weird is great weird is enriching and its fucking phenomenal that it's Just bepo. Not just cute things even tho he does love them - Bepo being a whole Person that gets Law's cuteness dokis in a bunch is soooooo sus and charming

idk how other Law fans see it but i dont think Law loving cuteness and fluff like the Onigiri moment - would be enough, its too circumstantial. But Bepo.... Bepo is always there, making Law better by being his spoiled rotten softie baby angel

sorry if my train of thought is all over the place. Thank you so much for the ask you the real one ❤️❤️❤️❤️

🧃 — tetsurou kuroo yn’s older brother. loves his sister to death, even with all the little quips and witticisms they often throw at each other. senior in college, advanced biochem major. co-cap of the school’s volleyball team (obv gotta make room for his best friend, kou); middle blocker. speaking of best friends, kou bokutou and kozume kenma’s best friend ! an absolute ass of a flirt, honestly still continues to be a flirt even with his relationship, except now it's a way to get customers for cecily– “can you give out flowers to people at your school and advertise for me pretty please!” shares an apartment with kou and atsumu.

🧩 — koutarou bokutou yn’s 2nd older brother (figure) ! tetsurou’s best friend. all around a great guy. senior majoring in nutrition for the gains ofc. everyone’s fav ace, also the other co-cap of yūgen university’s volleyball team. super outspoken, loves koushi’s dinners.

☀️ — shoyou hinata cutest ball of sunshine ever ! friends with literally everyone. secretly knows intel on both yn and kozume’s feelings for each other but isn’t supposed to spill the beans because the two don’t know of the other’s reciprocating feelings (if that makes sense). is a sophomore at yūgen university, still unsure about majors, just knows he loves volleyball and wants to play professionally once he graduates. wing spiker, aspiring ace. allergic to pollen.

⚡️— atsumu miya literal douche. absolute villain. uhh a jerk (still hot though). basically, the person that fuels kozume with the most horrendous ideas ever. the person that creates conflicts because I need someone to blame for all the… bad ideas that I come up with. oh and he’s on the volleyball team.

💿 — keiji akaashi yn’s .. ex boyfriend lol plays keyboard in kozume’s band. on the volleyball team; setter. quiet… like really quiet because of the breakup (he's healing though! I think). has the same history class as yn, rintarou, and mori (awkward). junior majoring in psychology. not very sociable. lingering feelings, still a sweet guy, things are just a tad bit weird.

When in canon does your s/i come in? Do you have a scene in mind for their entrance?

Would your s/i be considered a main character, side character, villain, or something else?

How do other characters generally feel about your s/i?

Would any other characters (besides your f/o) have a crush on your s/i?

for both 😋

- tired

— when in canon does your s/i come in? do you have a scene in mind for their entrance?

ZHAOYI.

genshin: for thomayahao, he appears right alongside thoma when the traveller first gets to inazuma on the dock! when he sees the traveller arrive though, he ends up walking away.

yizou — hmm i dont remember what big story quests heizou was part of besides his hangout! but zhaoyi is definitely present in heizou’s hangout hah!

can’t say much for wriohao bc i haven’t played the story quest at all for fontaine 🫢

hsr: b!zhao first appears as someone stalking the astral express during their time on the xianzhou. we don’t see a full picture of him until after he and kafka pull blade out of jail.

s!zhao appears with sunday in the story!!

JUN.

hq au jun is nekoma’s manager!! so he first appears in the show when they do :3c his entrance scene depends on which ship! for kojun (sugawara), he quite literally runs into the karasuno boys bc he had to take care of some last minute things.

testujun enter together talking while keijun is the same bc they don’t meet til later on ^^

obey me wise and jiaoqiu i’m not sure. jun is my version of MC in om if that works!

— would your s/i be considered a main character, side character, villain, or something else?

ZHAOYI.

genshin: side character in all of them!

hsr: villains for both sunday & blade ships 😭😭 gallahao would be a side character .

JUN.

side character for hq! gets a decent amount of screen time so he’s not a minor character but he isn’t main. technically part of the antagonist group bc of nekoma’s thing with karasuno

but!! is literally the mc for obey me lol

— how do other characters generally feel about your s/i?

ZHAOYI.

most are pretty wary of zhaoyi in general due to his not so clean job paths 💀💀 paimon finds thomayato zhao intimidating and a brute lol when seeing him.

hsr… um astral express does not enjoy b!zhao’s presence. also not on the best of terms with jing yuan lol.

s!zhao is on friendlier terms with people fs. the express didn’t trust him much at first but after the whole ena’s dream thing, he’s grown on them.

JUN.

the nekoma boys are “protective” 💀 mainly yamamoto… generally, everyone has a good impression of jun!! him and kiyoko are like 🤞 after the training arc fr fr

obey me guys is just. the plot LMFAOO but i. i want to image simeon being head over heals at first sight bc that’s cute 🥹😓😓

— would any other characters (besides your f/o) have a crush on your s/i?

ZHAOYI.

for both hsr and genshjn, i can’t really image anyone else?? there would definitely be ships by fans but no extra canon stuff imo.

JUN.

i can image some of the first years & one or two second years on some of the teams lol! idk who for each but in general: hinata (but the admiration thing he does), nishinoya, kageyama, akaashi (if not keijun), um and a couple others i’m drawing blanks on names TwT

they would be more like “wow this dude is cool what the heck” crushes though

[stars-tonight]

hello !

i'd like to request a long romantic male matchup. i am a female and go by she/her.

my ideal partner would just have to be understanding, trustworthy, reliable and honest. someone who would be both my friend and lover at the same time. someone who would cuddle me when i've had a bad day, someone who would reassure me if i ever felt bad about myself- doesn't matter whether it's done with words or actions. i'd also prefer if he was taller than me (5'8''ft/172cm).

i am introverted and might come off as reserved and composed at first, but once you get to know me i'm pretty friendly, honest, caring and funny. i don't reach out to people much or start conversations, but i'm down to go out with my friends every once in a while.

my hobbies are playing volleyball (i play as a setter) and video games, listening to music, walking and digital art.

my giving love language is most likely acts of service and receiving either physical touch or quality time.

i don't really have an ideal date- amusement parks, fancy restaurants, chilling at home, it doesn't really matter. the only thing is that i want to actually spend time with and get to know him during our date, so going to the movies or something would rather be a no, since our attention would be on the movie not each other (hopefully i explained that well enough).

my mbti type is isfj-t (introverted, observant, feeling, judging, turbulent).

getting a little bit more serious, i was diagnosed with anorexia and anxiety a few months ago. i'm a self-conscious, overachieving perfectionist, meaning that if i slip up even once, i feel like a failure (my biggest fear is failing and not meeting expectations). that's why i want someone who would comfort me.

back to happier topics, i like true crime podcasts (and cryptic killers/murder mystery case file games). i also spend hours just browsing through different e-stores for clothes, interesting snacks and skincare.

if there's anything else you might wanna know then let me know.

thank you !

headcanons

🥛 akaashi checks off your ideal partner list really well

🥛 he'd definitely always be there for you when you need it, whether it's with encouraging words or a hug

🥛 i believe akaashi is nearing six foot, or 183 centimeters

🥛 which is lowkey crazy bc how tf is he that tall

🥛 like there's no way he's that tall yknow?

🥛 man is 5'9 on a good day (in my head, not according to the actual canon lol but that's still insane)

🥛 it's so cool that you're also a setter because you can talk about plays together and just relate to each other sm more

🥛 akaashi also definitely prioritizes getting to know his partner on a date

🥛 although i think he'd like quieter dates more, like a walk or stargazing or an at-home date

🥛 he'd be down for an amusement park date as well, but his battery would just run out sooner lol and i feel like he wouldn't be a big fan of how loud or crowded the place is

🥛 he would definitely take you out to a fancy restaurant and get all dressed up for it in a suit and tie (which he pulls off SO well, btw)

🥛 akaashi is also really hard on himself and is an overthinker

🥛 so you two would be able to help each other when either of you are feeling down

🥛 he just screams warmth and comfort and he'd always be there for you with a big hug or a homemade meal

🥛 he's the type to leave love letters or love notes throughout the house for you to find when you're having a bad day

🥛 but he also has a big tendency to overthink so he'd need a partner who could be there for him too

runner up for you was sawamura daichi!

A/N: hi! i was uncharacteristically productive today so i got to pretty much all the matchup asks in my inbox, including yours! hope you liked it :) i hope you're taking care of yourself and feeling better 🫶

[shxtodxroki]

Match-Up Exchange

This is a Haikyuu match-up exchange done for @mysterystarz for a match-up exchange we arranged! Hi hi Nova! Doing this exchange with you was a lot of fun, and I noticed from your info we have quite a bit in common (for example French music! I’ll probably DM you to ask for recs at some point since I took French for several years and really liked a lot of the music we heard lol) and you seem like a really nice person, so I hope you enjoy the match-up I gave you and that we can keep in contact after this :> I worked really hard to make this nice and I'm lowkey a little nervous to post it after how cute yours was lol so I really hope you enjoy it! (Also apologies for any typos, I only briefly proofread this before posting so I hope I caught them all!)

I’d Match You With:

Keiji Akaashi! :)

Reasoning:

While I was reading your description I initially had a few people in mind, but as I learned more about you and especially the things you look for in a partner, he’s definitely the one that stood out the most to me. Akaashi would be able to be pretty much the perfect partner for you based on your needs, and I think he’d admire and respect you a whole lot as well because you have so many traits he looks for in a partner as well.

He thinks you're so intelligent, both in terms of like, book-smarts and also emotionally, and he also finds you so beautiful and just a wonderful person to be around. The two of you fit together like puzzle pieces and your relationship would genuinely be so loving and healthy, the perfect model of a communicative, sturdy relationship and he loves not only how secure your relationship is, but also the way you still make him feel butterflies even after you’ve been together for so long <3

Headcanons About Your Relationship:

- First of all, Keiji definitely respects how you need some time to yourself, in fact he thinks it’s a good practice and tries to do the same for himself. He’s more on the introverted side, so getting that time to recharge, enjoy some of his hobbies, and just think about what he plans to do in the future allows him to be a much better, more present and attentive partner to you when you are together. He really respects that you know yourself and your needs so well, and is happy to give you some time to yourself whenever you need it

- If you want soft, content love, Akaashi’s also definitely the man for you. Seeing you wake up with bedhead not only makes him giggle but he’ll either run his hands through it to tame it or sometimes even playfully ruffle it a bit depending on how he’s feeling, and he’s also the kind of boyfriend who makes you lunch and writes a sweet, unique note in it every single day no matter what <3 He’s also always taking your hand in his and rubbing his thumb over your knuckles or bringing them up to his mouth for a kiss, or helping you to bed when you've had a long day and passed out on the couch waiting for him to come home as he tucks you in and snuggles up to you with a kiss on the forehead <3 Your guys’ relationship is so soft and domestic it’s absolutely adorable

- And he definitely plans the cutest, sweetest dates for the two of you. Sometimes he gets ideas online and fits them in with your interests, like the time he took you to a cozy little bookstore and you each got to pick out a new book for each other (except he ended up getting you a whole series, he wanted to spoil you a bit </3) and then you walk to a nearby cafe and get drinks and pastries while you each enjoy the book the other got you :> Or the time he set up a date night where you each start a painting and swap every few minutes to create art together <3 He loves doing things together and is definitely the type to hang one of the finished paintings on his wall so he can look at it and be reminded of what a fun date that was and of how much he loves watching you paint and getting to make something with you

- Keiji’s also a very good communicator. He’s the type to never raise his voice at you no matter how upset he is, he doesn’t find it productive or helpful at all and it only hurts you (and honestly, he just doesn’t like yelling at all) so he never does it. He tries his best to always resolve issues before going to bed, and whenever he’s upset, he won’t hide it but will bring it up in a gentle way. When you come to him with issues, he does his best to listen without getting defensive and apologizes when necessary, and because of how well you both communicate with each other and how you both prioritize each other’s feelings even during disagreements, you rarely ever have serious arguments and are constantly bettering yourselves and your relationship together

- He’s also so, so good at comforting you <3 He knows it can be hard to tell even those you’re closest with when you’re feeling anxious or just having a rough day, so over time he’s learned some of the biggest signs and tells of your anxiety worsening so he can comfort you without you needing to explicitly ask him to. He always starts by making you a nice warm cup of tea and putting a nice, clean set of the softest sheets you own on the bed, and then he invites you to join him and lay in his arms in bed, though he doesn’t push if you say no. If you let him he rubs your back or rubs his hands gently up and down your arms, listening if you want to vent or tell him about how you’re feeling and reassuring you with such kind, loving words it makes your heart melt. He never gets tired or annoyed of reassuring you, he loves you and is more than willing to make sure you know that all the time

- And when he knows you’re going through a rough patch mentally, he likes making you little self-care packs filled with some of your favorite things. He keeps a list of specific things he knows you enjoy in his phone, like specific scents you mention liking a lot, so when you’re having a tough week you’ll come home one day and find a basket sitting on your bed filled with a new squishmallow, some cozy, fuzzy socks with cute patterns on them, your favorite brand of tea packets, a lotion/perfume duo in your favorite scent, some new lip balm, a few sweet snacks he knows are your favorite, a brand new mug or a new book, and his hoodie tucked beneath it all along with a note detailing all of the many, many things he loves about you <3

- He also really, truly appreciates how perceptive, and empathetic, and comforting you can be when he’s going through a hard time. He’s not always one who’s quick to speak up when he’s feeling down or going through something, so having a partner like you who knows him so well that you catch his troubles before he tells you about him is such a relief to him, and your comfort and emotional support during these times is the one thing that keeps him going when he feels like he can’t share that part of himself with anyone else <3 He’s careful to never take for granted your kindness and support or abuse your gentle side in any way, but he’s truly thankful for the way you open him up to receiving kindness and support

- On a lighter note, I think Akaashi is definitely the kind of boyfriend who’s willing to deal with bugs for you :> He usually prefers to take them outside if he can rather than killing them, but they literally don’t phase him at all so when he hears you shrieking across the house about a bug you found he just lets out a soft chuckle before grabbing some paper and a cup and getting up to take care of it for you <3

- He love love loves listening to your rambles too, he thinks one of your most endearing habits is how you love to share all the things you learn with him even when it’s about totally random things like the effects of glucose :) And he IS genuinely listening I promise, he actively engages in the conversation and adds stuff if it’s something he knows about because he loves being able to go back and forth with you and give you a chance to share all of the knowledge you collect (and be able to share his as well when he has the opportunity!)

- Also he definitely thinks you’re so so pretty, and he tells you this very frequently. He thinks your glasses look absolutely adorable on you, and he’s particularly fond of the beauty mark beneath your eye and your dimples :> They’re prime kissing points for him, he’s constantly absentmindedly leaning in and kissing you in one of these spots because he just finds them so unique and pretty and does it without even thinking most times

- He also really like participating in more of your active hobbies with you! Biking and hiking are both things he finds super interesting and help him get his work-outs in during volleyball season, so he loves going out with you and even sometimes brings stuff along so that once the two of you have finished your hike, you can have a cute little picnic at your final destination with some of your favorite homemade foods and treats <3

- Bonus: This is short but honestly I just think he'd really vibe with your music tastes and would listen to a lot of the same artists you do (I get the feeling he'd be a Lana fan in particular personally) so he loves sharing playlists with you since you two already listen to so much of the same music!)

Second Choice:

I very, VERY seriously considered matching you with Daichi, and he was actually my initial thought when I read about the things you’d like in a partner in particular (since he has a lot of those same qualities as Akaashi, where he’s the level-headed, gentle kind of person and a great communicator as well). However, you mentioning your interest in academics and reading and wanting someone you could learn from him and vice/versa was when Akaashi came to my mind and eventually won out since I definitely feel like he’d be more interested in those kinds of things, though I think Daichi would be a good choice too :> 

Song For Your Relationship:

You Are In Love by Taylor Swift <3

NIA OMFG SO ABT THE DATING APP POST U MADE (replies could not handle the novel I am about to impose on you)

the way I am so in love with iwa but he’s the epitome of not my irl type 😭 gym bros and their bland responses to hinge prompts scare me and I feel that he would have the exact profile you were talking abt. his redeeming quality would be like. a dog.

SAME WITH ATSUMU AND IT PAINS ME. PHYSICALLY PAINS ME BC THAT IS MY HUSBAND.

Bokuto would be the exception to the gym bro thing bc he is also a himbo and it shows (in the best way possible) and no one can resist that.

half of hq would not be my type irl and the other half that would be?? I’d be too scared to try to match cause they’re. gorgeous??????? Hello???

HOWEVER Akashi’s profile would totally be like cafe date vibes, libraries and very just. CALMING AND NICE AND I’D DO THE SAME AS YOU. The only thing is I think his prompt responses (I’m on hinge so this is the only dating app format ik) wouldn’t really give you tooooo much to work with but it’s ok no one can be perfect.

I think kuroo’s would be like super bf material tho. Like the kind of profile that you’re certain gets a lot of interaction and makes you wonder if he’s even active on the app anymore LOL. also gives good responses, he’s just slightly dorky but it’s so endearing and it adds to the appeal of his profile.

I think suna’s would be super chill with like humorous undertones and I’d probably end up trying to match with him bc of that. he gives gooddddd responses that are genuinely fun and non repetitive. he’s also not dry if you end up matching.

yk what no I’m giving atsumu a chance here. his prompt responses are. interesting to say the least. dry. he comes across a bit cocky. but his pictures don’t if that makes sense??? like he comes off as a genuinely sweet guy in his photos and videos. maybe I’m just too soft for him and I’m projecting, this is embarrassing.

I wanna add something abt oikawa but I genuinely cannot think of anything other than his photos would be insanely aesthetic and pretty. responses need a bit of work and his opening lines come off a bit strong but. it’s okay. he’s perfect and can do no wrong imo 🤷🏻‍♀️

ANYWAY SORRY I JUST GOT EXCITED AND WANTED TO SHARE. YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO THE SMAU, I WOULD EAT THAT UP!!!!!

HAIII REV!! EXACTLY. exactly. i'm sorry but not even a dog is enough for me i'm like Omg little dog and then don't match I'm sorry hajime.. Bokuto... my cutie pie naoooo 😭😭 i'd like to hope he'd answer the prompts cutely/in a funny way but i still wouldn't think we'd match well and skip him... BUT!!!! I think if they replied to one of my prompts i'd reply...?! < girl who Never Ever matches first Ever. like there's a photo where their smile looks very cutesie and i'm like Why not!

Akaashi. 🙂teehee. my favoritism i'm sorry everybody. he doesn't really have photos of himself so he has to ask friends for some and there's like one photo that's dimly lit where he's smiling with fluffy hair that would make my jaw drop and tears form in my eyes i'd want him so bad. one of his prompt answers would be like. a joke about how tired he is with all the work he has. something kind of basic But i love him so it's ok. for me specifically i mention my dislike for HTTYD 3 and i think he'd reply and be like wait you're so right can u explain more or something like that and I would Start Crying tears Of Joy PLEAASELEAASE PLEAPSAPPSLEPLEPA

omg kuroo. i understand. i actually first had the idea he looks kind of dorky (/affectionate) but he has a couple good photos and a meme and it's like Oh he's so real for that. also he's totaallyyy somebody who does an audio prompt 😭 it's something fawking stupid /Affectionate and i'd show my irls and we'd be like wait he's kinda cute while we laugh BJSHFBJSD there's also a group photo somewhere on there ! and maybe a video where you can hear him cackling! silly guy...

suna would have a stupid ass block text meme somewhere on his profile LOLLL there's a photo where he's in his room in the dark but i can also imagine he has one with good lighting outside that's one of the few he has... he Would be funny! he's all lowercase until u say something that gets him to laugh and he goes LMFAOOOOO WAIT and it's like Yes I got a good grade in Hinge. BFJSHBJSB

ATSUMU! totally has a pic where he's showing off his muscles or spiking But also wait he looks kind of cute and dorky in this other photo and also his prompt responses are funny this is crazy? I UNDERSTAND!!! maybe it could be like... he's not someone you'd swipe on initially but he sees Your profile and tries to switch it up to cater to you before replying to one of your prompts LOL. and maybe there's a pic of him helping samu make onigiri or just... something kind of domestic that makes u go oh alright he's nice?!

HMM OIKAWA.... also a volleyball pic somewhere. maybe with a medal or trophy of his LOL. but he can take good selfies Unfortunately smhhh /j so you're like aw fuck... i think i'd be like oh you're out of my league or Not my type but if that kind of guy replies to one of your prompts...Would you not be a little curious to see how that convo goes. he's good looking enough that he could just like people's first pic and move on but You're special and Funny and he's Curious okay!!!

THANK U!!! HTANKYEWWW I LOVE THINKING AND TALKING AND SHARING AND HEARING IDEAS IT'S SO FUNSIES NEVER APOLOGIZE 2 ME! i have So many smau series ideas bouncing around in my head i've never tried but if i ever do this one...U will b the first 2 know.

Hello!

I hope you're having a lovely time at the mall! I've never worn matching outfits with anyone; that sounds fun – what are the outfits like? 😊

I don't know if you're still doing the matchups, but if so, I would describe myself as follows: I am very introverted, but tend to act like a mirror in social situations. I am quite sarcastic and love to tease, but will also quickly jump into looking after people (or corralling them – I have been described as a "hot, competent wine mom", which is quite an honour lol). I tend to wear the same outfits all the time: silk blouse in black or a jewel tone, black high waist loose fitting trousers, and a simple pearl jewelry set. My most distinctive physical features are that I am short (5 foot NOTHING😭, need me a tall man to reach the top supermarket shelves smh), I have long dark hair, and I have a similar mole to kiyoko in haikyuu – a source of pride and constant anxiety. I am quite self-critical and very serious about my core/moral values. I can be really guarded, but also somehow seem to be quite good at giving people the comfort enough to open up to me. I studied physics and philosophy at university; I miss full-time learning dearly, and I still really like learning and teaching. My main hobbies are singing/listening to music, cooking and baking, and reading (I try to have a fiction and nonfiction book on the go, as well as animanga hahaha), but I've recently gotten into meditation and tai chi. My favourites are: Reo and kaiser from bllk; kageyama, Kita, akaashi, kuroo, and atsumu from hq; and suo, umemiya, kaji, and tsubaki from wbk.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the mall and find some cool stuff! 😊

ANON ANON ANON you sound SO AWESOME. hot, competent wine mom? i love that. TAI CHI ? OMG. PHYSICS. hejdndndn omg ?? okay ..,, so

tsubaki! oh my gosh. power couple. powerFUL couple. BEAUTIFUL couple. where do i even start!! introvert, sometimes guarded/self critical makes me think of tsubaki right away. i think he’s great with words of affirmation and he’s just … a great person to talk to. he’ll make you feel so warm and bubbly inside. also tsubaki can reach (: very easily and with a huge smile. he thinks your mole is the cutest thing in the world btw. kisses it all the time. PRAISES YOU ALL THE TIME. absolutely loves to hear you talk about your interests !! how did that go? how was ___ today ?! tell him everything .. he gets so excited omg (image on the right for reference hehehheee)

Sorry if this has been asked,

What anime character is most similar to you in terms of personality?

Also thank you for the ask, never really gotten one lol! 😂☺️🧡

Here to change that! Also, even if you ask the same thing as someone else, it doesn't matter, we're here to get to know each other. I had to introduce myself already many times in this life, doesn't mean I'm going to stop, lol.

.... huh, similar to me in terms of personality? that's kinda hard....

I have a temper like Bakugo, but I'm as cheerful as Momoi and and as anxious as Yachi. I'm a motherhen like Akaashi (where's your jacket, Bokuto?) and I have as many dumb ideas as Kaminari....

so I can't really pinpoint who's the most similar. Though I feel like I'd be best friends with a lot of them.

Who do you think you're most similar with?

[tetskuro]

hello! i will be 🍓, i go by she/her.

- i want a romantic matchup 🤭, preferably male

- i am an infp. i would say i’m a very shy and awkward person when i first meet someone. i dont say too much at first, but once i feel close to someone i open up more. i’d say my humor is a little strange (brainrot 😔) and i express it with the right people. i try my best in school because i want to be successful in the future. i get emotional easily. i always try to look after my friends and listen to them whenever they need me.

- i like playing guitar, crocheting, reading, drawing and painting. i play badminton and volleyball sometimes. i plan to be a nurse. i like to watch thought-provoking movies. i like anything with romance in it. i need music whenever i do something. i like kpop.

- i want my partner to be a gentleman. he needs to treat everyone around him with respect. i want him to be on the same wavelength as me. i look for a good sense of humor. i want him to show that he loves and cares for me. quality time is everything. he has to be kind too of course!

- any kind of date would be ideal. as long as i get to be with them.

- i think that’s all? this is really cool, pls take your time with these!! i’m excited to see!!

your matchup is...

akaashi keiji

⭑ akaashi is soft-spoken and polite to everyone, maybe a tad bit blunt but that's what makes him charming

⭑ literally everyone loves akaashi, i can't think of a single person in haikyuu who dislikes him

⭑ very gentlemanly and he clearly has a lot of respect for everyone that he interacts with

⭑ that doesn't mean he doesn't throw sarcastic and cheeky remarks here and there lol

⭑ his logic can help balance out your emotions

⭑ akaashi's biggest love language is quality time

⭑ the two of you often spend hours doing random things together like reading, painting, watching movies, or even just sitting comfortably in silence

⭑ you two would watch a lot of movies that get your minds to really think deeply

⭑ he'd enjoy discussing the movie with you once you finish watching it

⭑ akaashi can be a little weird and i say this endearingly

⭑ it's definitely not something you expected when you first met him since he seemed so calm and put together

⭑ not to say that he isn't those things but it takes a bit of time after you get to know each other to see more sides to him

⭑ akaashi's humor leans toward the deadpan side with the random comments he makes in a monotone voice but he picks up some brainrot terms from you

⭑ it's not often that he uses brainrot phrases but you catch him saying them every so often

⭑ for example, you heard akaashi say "-1000 aura points" when bokuto flubbed a spike one time

⭑ you'd have akaashi swooning if you ever played the guitar for him omg he'd feel so relaxed listening to you and he'd be watching you with the softest expression on his face

⭑ he'd love to play volleyball and wants to learn badminton as well so you guys could play together

⭑ akaashi wouldn't be picky either when it comes to where you guys go out on dates though i feel he'd like it to be a bit private where there aren't too many people around

your matchup runner-up is ennoshita chikara
