Then allow me to scream into the void about Bokuto, who just cares so much about everyone.

Who loves volleyball and wants everyone to have as much fun playing it as he does.

Who inspires people and doesn’t even know it. I mean, Akaashi sae him once and thought, I want that, and followed him to Fukurodani without a second thought.

(Boy saw a shooting star and followed it home.)

Not just Akaashi though. Everyone on that team was glad to be a part of it.

Everyone at training camp stopped what they were doing to look at Bokuto play - an opponent to them in that moment, but still they watched. Still they were inspired enough to want to try harder.

That’s a victory right there, loving something so honestly and openly that it makes people want to look at it the way you do.

I saw a post the other day saying something like “f Bokuto knew Hinata was the main character he would throw a fit” - and I don’t agree with that at all??

Like sure. Bokuto gets away with acting like a child for a very long time. Not denying that. He wants to be great and he wants to be seen doing it.

But I’ve never once felt like he was a character who didn’t want good things for others?

He sees Tsukki - this boy with obvious potential and isn’t doing anything with it, and he tells him hey, like, maybe the reason you’re not enjoying yourself is because you’re doing it badly?

Is that a shitty way or wording it? Sure. But that’s Bokuto’s core belief right there - the better you are at something, the more you’ll like it. Because failing isn’t fun. He’s saying hey, I’m objectively better at this than you are, but that’s also why I’m enjoying it more. And that, if Tsukki were to have a moment like him, a moment where he could overcome his limits and be better, he would surely fall in love with volleyball as well.

And then he works with him on it.

(Also, just a moment of appreciation for the fact that he doesn’t begrudge him for that “it’s just a club” statement. Like, he could have gotten mad. If he really was the child everyone claimed him to be, he could have thrown a tantrum. How dare you not like this thing I like. Instead he says “hey, I see what you mean. I don’t agree with it, but you can like or dislike whatever the hell you want.”

Thet’s more a more grown up thing than a lot of grown ups are capable of. Just saying.)

That three-against-three game they play is also one of the reasons I love him so much.

Like, he doesn’t know Hinata. In fact, he’s seen most of his attacks fail at this point, because Karasuno is still learning. Still trial-and-error-ing their way to improvement.

Does he complain about being on a team with him? Hell no.

No matter than this kid isn’t good. No matter that he’s tiny and they probably won’t win.

Here’s someone who is genuinely excited to play volleyball!!! Fun!!!!

And he doesn’t hog the ball either. I mean, Hinata is playing with Akaashi and Bokuto. Akaashi and Bokuto are like, a team. Not just on the same team, as in, they’re Fukurodani’s ace and setter. They’re a team in the “they’re Bokuto-and-Akaashi” kind of way.

And still he accepts Hinata 100% as a member of their team, still passes him the ball after receiving it, still stands up for him when the freaking giants on the other side of the net gang up to block him.

And when Hinata manages to do the unthinkable and scores even though all odds were stacked against him, Bokuto is so excited and proud.

He isn’t like “damn, but I wanted to be the one to score.” He’s immediately like “how dare you belittle your own victory, that was amazing damnit. You’re incredible!”

(And the t-shirt!!! Like, he’s not just saying “well if you want one, buy one at the Spring Tournament.” He’s saying “well if you want one, come to the Spring Tournament. You have to make it. You will make it. And then you can buy one for yourself.”)

(Sorry, I just really love any interaction between Bokuto and Hinata. Their mentor-student realtionship means everything to me.)

Honestly, I could go on and on. About how Bokuto was always left alone before Akaashi came. How he never had anyone to practise with because the others always fled.

(“Why is there no one from Fukurodani to help with the blocks?”

“The others always leave because they know Bokuto’s training never ends.”)

How he was left to run by himself. Try and get out of his depressive episodes by himself because the others didn’t know how to deal with him.

And he never got mad at them for it. He always accepted that not everyone loved volleyball as much as he did, and forcing them wouldn’t be fun for anyone, and he so desperately wanted everyone to have fun.

And still - still he was always ready to help if asked.

If Bokuto is a star then he’s pushing himself to burn brighter and hotter just to keep everyone else warm.

And I’m glad he has Akaashi to level him and keep him from burning out.

People look at Bokuto and see a happy-go-lucky, carefree ray of sunshine and think, oh, he is a fool.

I mean I know people love him, but I am so, so upset that that is what he is reduced to.

Because Bokuto may be simple-minded, but a fool he is not.

(Let’s not even talk about the fact that Fukurodani seems to be a renowned private school and Japanese high schools have entrance exams. We know this, because Kageyama failed to get into Shiratorizawa, okay. He failed the exam.

So Bokuto getting into Fukurodani doesn’t exactly scream “idiot” to me. So he struggles with Japanese and Maths. Hell, if everyone was deemed stupid who didn’t excel in literally all of his classes, this would be a world of fools.

He also goes on to college and graduates. So he doesn’t know how taxes work. Hell, Sherlock Holmes didn’t know the earth revolves around the sun. People retain knowledge of stuff that they care about damnit. No one gives a shit about taxes.

I’m not calling him a genius here. He’s probably not exactly a top tier student. But please stop dumbing him down.)

But what I’m really talking about is that Bokuto is people-smart, okay. Like tell me he didn’t know exactly what made Akaashi tick. Tell me he didn’t know exactly what was wrong with him the second Akaashi started faltering.

He knew.

And he called him out on his bullshit in the exact same way Akaashi calls him out on his.

(It’s not just Akaashi btw. He knew exactly what was going through Yachi’s mind during the dumpster battle.)

And listen. During the training camp arc, Fukurodani vs Karasuno, where we first get to see Bokuto’s emo mode? It’s heavily implied by both Takeda and Ukai that Bokuto isn’t aware of how the team dynamics work, and as a reader, we believe this - because Bokuto appears to be so simple-minded. Because there don’t appear to be any hidden depths.

Because we never actually get to see the world through Bokuto’s eyes, but rather always Akaashi’s.

But being simple-minded doesn’t make you an idiot either. It just means that you have a different way of prioritising.

And then later, Bokuto has his moment. His “time for me to just be a regular ace” moment.

And we find out that he did know. He was completely aware that his team (and Akaashi, in all his well-intended manipulation) were coddling him.

(Don’t come for me; I ADORE Akaashi.)

Point is, he knows. And it was fine, because hey, it was easier anyway, and he knew he could count on his team to have his back.

But then Akaashi falters, and his team is struggling, and it’s Bokuto saying “you had my back all this time. Now let me have yours.”

Bokuto is not oblivious and he’s not a fool. His cheerfulness and optimism aren’t a sign of ignorance. They’re carefully cultivated. Because he knows what being lonely is like. He worked so, so hard towards his dream - not just to go pro, but to have fun playing volleyball. To become better at it so that he gets to enjoy it just a little bit more.

His good-heartedness is a goddamn choice, not some cradle-given virtue.

In this essay, i will-

Y’know when you’re tired and come across the wrong post at the wrong time and just. Pure rage. For no reason whatsoever.

I’m feeling rather bitter at Elwing rn (it was a very well written ficlet and I admire the writer, I’m just tired and unwell 😂) so you get a little fic of me getting that out. Content warning done.

Here we go!

Elrond and Elros can’t stand most depictions of their mother.

White feathered wings, plain white gown billowing in the sea breeze around her slight figure, two dark shapes reaching taloned hands for the brilliant gem around her neck. Desperate expression on a too round face with wide eyes looking towards her sons. It makes them sick.

Because Elwing wasn’t soft and innocent. Elwing wasn’t like that at all.

Sharp, angular features. Grey slivers for eyes more often clouded than not. White? Yes she wore white. But it was the white of a desert sun, the white of cold starlight, merciless and unfeeling as elves were dragged to the darkness.

And she’d loved her sons, yes, but it was the love of an ideal. Elwing was young and far from ready for the burdens of motherhood alongside ruling a city in her husband’s ever growing absences. And the gem-

Well. The less said about the silmaril, the better.

The Sindar more than others remain desperate for a symbol of innocence, a sign of their claim to the stolen jewel over the sons of it’s creator. So they present their winged princess bathed in holy light whilst the sons of Fëanor cower from it’s brilliant glow.

But Elrond and Elros remember how the stone sang when Maedhros and Maglor arrived, just as they remember their mother’s fury at its song.

You see, Elwing loved her sons. But she didn’t jump to save them.

Elrond and Elros saw the beginnings of regret, but they also remember her steadfast determination to keep what was never hers, cold starlight and unyielding sun meshing to cruel pride as she fell. It wasn’t holy light but white hot fire that clashed with the silmaril to send her screaming as the stone rejected her grasp, burning brighter than ever as she flew to her husband.

Elrond’s arrival to Valinor and the white scars radiating from Elwing’s hand to her chest confirm what he knew all along.

It wasn’t innocence that crowned her the day Sirion fell.

Because years before Maedhros and Maglor had fallen victim to the Silmaril’s hallowing, Elwing the White had paid the price for her false claim. And no matter how they tried to hide it, the consequences of that pride marked her to this day.

I know we’ve all talked about the callbacks to the tragic greek myth of orpheus and eurydice in relation to charles and edwin but just think of the callbacks to the more ancient and tragic myth of dean and castiel
