Ushijima-Oikawa parallels with Kageyama-Hinata

To me, Ushijima and Oikawa are like a tragic parallel to Hinata and Kageyama. If Oikawa had gone to Shiratorizawa then he and Ushijima could've had the partnership that Kagehina had. But because he didn't, they will never know what it's like to make the other feel invincible.

Shipping goggles aside, the parallels have to be intentional (haikyuu is too well-written for it to be just a coincidence): Both Ushijima and Kageyama were framed as naturally gifted volleyball monsters. Meanwhile Oikawa and Hinata believed that they were just average (even though the people around them know that they have their own strengths). Ushijima was the one who kept winning against Oikawa, just like how Kageyama was always ahead of Hinata. Both Hinata and Oikawa went abroad to gain experience so they could finally beat their rival. Ushijima and Kageyama are both awkward, intimidating, and ASD-coded while Hinata and Oikawa are framed as easy-going extroverted chatterboxes. These pairs are literally so similar it's crazy. Look at them and tell me it's not intentional

It also makes sense when you consider that their playstyles are also complementary. Kageyama and Hinata were a good match for each other because Hinata needed Kageyama's precision and Kageyama needed someone agile to match his own speed. But Ushijima's only requirement is for the ball to be set high and the right distance from the net so it's easy to hit. And which setter is known for dedicating themselves to their spikers, giving them easy sets? Oikawa. They truly could've been a terrifying duo.

I think Furudate was trying to show what Kageyama and Hinata could've been if they didn't team up. They'd still be strong, sure, but not invincible like they were in Karasuno. (as opposed to the Miya twins, who were supposed to show what they could've been like if they had an equal from the very beginning)

But in the end it all worked out for everyone! They all got to play on the world stage together. Ushijima and Oikawa even had their reconciliation at the all stars match (still waiting on the Oikawa-Kageyama reconciliation please please please 👀). They're all happy so I suppose it isn't actually tragic. I just cant help but wonder what could have been if Ushijima and Oikawa learned what it's like to be each other's greatest ally. Hinata and Kageyama were so lucky to have found each other after all.

I think it still makes me laugh that Madam Z and Tennant share the same CN voice actor. i don't know what would be more funnier: a role swap or a personality swap between the two.

Forever thinking about the headcanon how, despite Danse being a very no-nonsense guy, he has a soft spot for a specific kind of dirty humor.

Like, don't be a potty mouth and don't you dare say it in front of a superior, but the right joke about Supermutant love-making at the right time will have him laughing way harder than anyone would expect.

He'll just never admit that he got that sense of humor from Cutler.

(This is a long one I’m sorry) I rarely see any posts considering and acknowledging the queer rep Teen Wolf did have and I think about it a lot actually so I’m making one One thing I really enjoy about the show is that the characters who are queer just are and that’s like about as much as the show gets into it. And this could totally be a preference thing, but rewatching it now, I kind of like how casual Teen Wolf was with everything. Their gay characters didn’t feel like a spectacle to be viewed (a la “wow look they are so different cause they are GAY”) or a narrative problem to be spun (“how does our straight character feel about this gay character? Wouldn’t they be uncomfortable?”) or make you feel like growing up gay was a trauma you have to endure (through bullying or yet another painful and alienating coming out experience). They were just kind of like “Danny is gay” and nobody ever had a problem with it and then they actually proceeded to show him having a sex life and in relationships. There were a lot of queer side characters or one-off characters (RIP Camping Virgin I connect with you so much I also want to kiss women but hate bugs more). I don’t love how Mason/Corey was handled after they initially got together (we kind of barely ever see them together after that which I am like “come on” about actually) but I appreciate how they are just another couple, maybe the healthiest one on the show even. It’s not like a paradigm for perfect queer representation but when I compare it with other shows from the 2010s, it’s nice to have a show where gay people just existed and lived and did exactly what every other character was doing (in this case, Teen Wolfing)

This was a television show on a major network. And like yeah 2011 ‘wasn’t that long ago’ but it kind of was. So much has changed in the last 14 years and I’m like genuinely shocked some people don’t feel that on a daily basis. Gay Marriage wasn’t even legally recognized in the US yet and I remember article after article about how producers and network owners “just weren’t sure how viewers would connect with or understand gay characters�� in television and movies. And this show just had a bunch of characters who were queer sprinkled in, always there. Obviously, talking about the movie is a different bag. I haven’t seen it yet and plenty of people know a lot more about it than I do (plus it came out in 2023 so I think it’s totally reasonable to expect more from it. Queer representation in media, at least for big name streaming services and networks, has come like crazy far since 2016). And, to be clear, this isn’t a Jeff Davis defense post, I think that man made a lot of mistakes (I’ll never forgive him for what he did to Kira and Arden). I totally understand wanting (and even demanding) more, I’m certain that’s why we have what we have today (and it could still improve). It would have been great if Teen Wolf had a carefully crafted, front-and-center gay couple with a relationship that was actually explored, I agree, but I’m also grateful for what they already had there.
