#save atsumu

[littlemisstrashcan]

i was rereading that chapter when timeskip! kagehina met in front of the bathroom and their teammates showed up one by one and everything was turning to chaos and somehow, out of EVERYONE there, atsumu was the normal one.

like it got to the point he started missing aran, talking about him like he's dead

[onnie-giri]

i like to think the inarizaki 2nd yrs routinely play a game of rock-paper-scissors before going to vb practices n whoever loses has to buy snacks for all 4 of them

guess who lost this round lol

[carissime]

When your brain is feeling fuzzy and you’re pushing against his stomach for just a second of reprieve and your fav just holds you tighter, maybe even pulls you a lil closer, pushing himself into you deeper with a cocky grin on his face as he goes, “Where you goin’, hmm?”

[choppyama]

Hinata is intensely competitive and he thrives when he’s challenged so when a player proclaim that they want to be his rival, it is the biggest form of an acknowledgment.

“finally someone who doesn’t want to be my rival but instead dream to be on the same team as me and be by my side unlike everyone else🥺” is something you would NEVER catch shoyo saying bc it never mattered if it’s on the same or opposite sides of the net… it’s all volleyball.

wanna play together? Cool✨✨ wanna be rivals? Even better ✨✨✨

while it is true that at the start of the series, Hinata’s abilities in volleyball were on a newbie level and he needed a setter like Kageyama to enhance him, It’s also true that most of the time players underestimates him bc of his appearance,

BUT as soon as they see him play they always acknowledge that he bring something to the table, that aside from being part of the freak duo he’s worth recognizing on his own.

‘Everyone thinks hinata only shine bc of Kageyama’ NO THEY DON’T lol. You’ll always hear random players from rival teams says oh that number 10 surprised me the most! he’s a scary monster! wanna take down Kageyama? gotta take down hinata first’

They see him as an actual threat. They see him as a worthy competitor.

This might be about hinata being acknowledged within a rivalry context but ofc others wants to play with him too, set for him.

and Kageyama? He wants both rivalry and partnership. He actively wants to compete with shoyo, not just on the court but through every little thing they do, and he also wants to toss to hinata for the rest of his life.

so to think that “no one ever appreciates hinata outside of the freak duo” or that “everyone just actively wanted to be his rival and not his teammates” until the inarizaki match is such a disservice to his story.

not only it reduces hinata’s hard work and effort, his ability to convince others to choose him but also downplay Kageyama’s impact on him

when this guy was asking hinata to stay with him forever when they were just 15!

Kageyama being the first ever opponent shoyo’s ever encountered, who took him seriously, never once put his guard down the entire match and even after completely obliterating shoyo’s weak team he still viewed his opponent as an equal I could go on but I digress bc if I start yapping about kghn I’ll never stfu this isn’t abt them LMFAOOOOO

Ok back on topic, It’s not like hinata isn’t allowed to be… insecure (?) He was unsettled by Washijo's comment that he's only valuable with a setter during the Karaneko match. Even when praised by a Kamomedai player, Hinata deferred all the credit to Tobio. it’s understandable, that’s his entire dilemma for more than half of the manga.

but still,

Yes shoyo once had to ‘beg’ his friends for tosses in middle school, yes he had no teammates in the beginning or a partner but HE HAS KARASUNO NOW!!!

He has a very dedicated partner who promised to toss to him anytime he wants. Who makes sure hinata knows he’s integral to the team, who tells him he’s the greatest decoy. who made a whole speech about how much shoyo is needed when he was being insecure about his height. Who tells him he can fly even higher

Hinata has people in his life who believes in him, who appreciates him, respect him, acknowledge him as a worthy rival and partner. He’s doing fine!

*wanted to add his reaction when he was being praised after a match. He’s so cute shoyo i love you

favourite miya twins panels (together or individually)? 👁️

ohhh this is difficult there's so many good ones...

I didn't go look for any btw, I had all of these already saved, so take that as you will

^^gun to my head if I had to decide for a favourite panel for each of them, these would be it

^^these two are some of my favs pre-ts. I mean the left one is my icon so it's a shoe-in anyway but they look so happy. both of them too!! and I love the contrast to the other one where tsumu looks kinda insane but he's using samu's metaphor from earlier, and samu is feeling hungry for volleyball too. I love when they're in synch like this

^^this one on the other hand I like because it perfectly foreshadows what happens after the ts, all encapsulated in that tiny thought bubble while tsumu is bitching about kageyama <3

^^post-ts I really like these two panels, because they're still so in synch even when it's only atsumu on the court

now have some honourary mentions and cover pages I really like!

Your fav is writing a fanfic about YOU! What tropes are they writing?

The night was rather pleasant, even if there were too many people around him and Osamu was glad he could at least talk with Akaashi I without looking like an idiot (like his brother), not even getting annoyed when Bokkun or Tsumu butted in every now and then on their conversation.

Shoyo-kun, sitting on the right side of Akaashi and in front of Tsumu, was as bright as ever to talk to and Osamu was feeling a bit jealous of how much the pretty boy his heart pines for babied the smaller athlete. He wants to be at the end of that soft gaze, too!

"Sorry for being late!" came a voice from the other end of the table and suddenly the trio in front of the twins turned their head in a creepy synchronized way that startled them.

"Suga-san!" they called, bright eyes and happy smiles.

Atsumu looked up in curiosity and Osamu felt his stomach freeze. He was wrong to feel jealous of Shoyo-kun, there's a bigger fish out here to look out for, apparently.

A silver haired young man walked by greeting some people before lunging himself into Bokkun for a quick hug and then turning to Akaashi with a bright smile.

"Wife!" he said loudly, making both twins open their mouth in shock.

"Husband." Akaashi chuckled in amusement and hugged the man quite tightly.

"It's been so long! How are you? How's work? And our little giant?"

"We should meet more." Akaashi nodded "Everything's good, and Udai-san is fine. And you? Your kids?"

Hinata, blushing with a shy smile, coughed into his hand in an obnoxious way to get their attention. The man, Suga-san(?), hugged him around the head making the others chuckle and the twins more and more confused with this situation.

"My baby boy Shoyo~~~ Papa missed youuuu~~ my favorite child~~!" and loudly kissed his head a few times while Akaashi pinched his flushed cheek.

"Kageyama is your favorite and you know it!" Shoyo-kun pouted.

"He's my first born, shhh. You're mine and Akaashi's baby."

Akaashi chuckled "It's good to see you again, Suga-san."

"Man it's been so long." Suga-san said, stepping away and sitting in the space Bokkun opened for him.

"Ah! Atsumu-san, Osamu-san! This is my senpai from Karasuno, Sugawara-san!" Shoyo-kun said.

"Oh! That second setter!" Tsumu said loudly, looking happy, dare he say "Good to see you again! Tobio-kun talks very highly of you." Osamu kind of wants to strangle his twin right now.

"I know, I'm awesome." he laughed "He's a good junior, very cute."

"Suga-san taught me a lot of things when I first started, he's really awesome." Shoyo-kun said.

"He is." Akaashi nodded.

"'Kaashi and Suga dated in college for a while so he knows it better than us!" Bokkun said proudly, going back to eating.

"Dating...?" Osamu asked, choking on his beer.

"I mean, I'm pretty, Akaashi's pretty. Why not, right?" Sugawara smiled.

Well, damn. What a competition Osamu has. Is this why Akaashi never responds to his flirting? Because Osamu is not pretty enough?

"What about now? Would you date again?" Tsumu asked and Osamu had to look at him because it was unbelievable how stupid his twin is.

"Hmm..." they looked at each other for a moment "No! Akaashi is flirting with someone else now and I'm in a complicated relationship with that person."

"Flirting?!" Osamu stuttered out.

"Oh~~ gossip!" Bokkun looked excited even with broth in his face.

"Still?!" Shoyo-kun looked surprised "Didn't you break up again last week?"

"Osamu-san, would you like to meet for breakfast tomorrow morning?" Akaashi asked, a twinkle in his deep eyes.

"Yes he would!" Tsumu, mortifyingly, answered in his place "Take him!"

re: atsumu x reader fic—bc reader was raised upper class she never learned to cook so when she marries atsumu and moves into their little cottage together she has to learn (and is really REALLY horrible at it for a while.) osamu was very close to the cook in the first house that took him in when he and atsumu were separated so he teaches her :')

[luminyxoxo]

Meet-cute disguised under meet-ugly in which Miya Atsumu is a Volleyball journalist who’s notorious for his temper but also his high-quality works. He has only exclusively worked on the female league up until the grand game between Schweiden Adlers and MSBY Black Jackals.

His first, on court, encounter with rookie Opposite Hitter Sakusa Kiyoomi is when the athlete lunges towards him to save a ball and promptly breaks his laptop.

Cue, Atsumu being Atsumu and threatening Kiyoomi post-match while the athlete (poorly) attempts to placate the angry journalist.

(Since then, every time Atsumu has to cover the male league, he would somehow only focuses on Sakusa Kiyoomi. The whole league and everyone involved are absolutely exasperated, waiting for the two to grow a pair and start dating instead of being forced to witness the journalist and athlete fight/flirt.)
