Me, Looking Back At How Many Books I Used To Read: I Love That Bitch, She Was Going Places.

the midoriya show part 3 

(this is a truman show/bolt-style AU, where everyone except midoriya is an actor and midoriya has grown up on a TV set believing the world of quirks and superheroes to be real life. i call it “the midoriya show” as a joke but the TV show he’s the protagonist of is just called My Hero Academia)

part 1 (introduction + master post) / part 2 / part 4

So that’s why Pedro wants a female Bond. Because he wants to play a Bond boy. 😆

What caused Kageyama to turn into the King of The Court

it’s officially March 22 so I am now allowed to post this:

Ever notice how he was still innocent in his first years of Kitagawa Daichi? A lot of people assumed that it was because of Oikawa bullying him a lot that he got tired and just did what he wanted. 

But no it’s because his grandfather, the one that got him into to volleyball in the first place, who he always looked for every day to play, died. That’s what caused him to snap and have all these negative emotions around him. 

That would also explain this: (credits to @iwillstillopenthewindow​ )

HAIKYUU 402: LAST CHAPTER SPOILER WARNING!!!

The final chapter of Haikyuu which is the most magnificent sports anime I've ever read.

Before you scroll down I'M BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER 402 FIRST. This is going to be super lengthy post hehe.

This is a spoiler zone, you have been warned.

I'm not gonna lie while reading this chapter I WAS CRYING THE ENTIRE TIME.

There are so many significant moments during this chapter (I honestly feel like this summary isn't going to cover everything.)

This moment during the beginning of chapter 402 when Ushijima and Tendo, I truly believe Tendo is Ushijima's first actual friend. It was shown after Karasuno VS Shiratorizawa match (Season 3) but their friendship solidifies even more during Chapter 395 timeskip when Tendo called Ushijima after the World's Match (when Team Japan lost & Ushijima faced criticism) he's the strong pillar that grounds Ushijima.

Tendo truly deserves this moment, he & Ushijima not just considering each other as 'teammates' or 'comrades' but best friends.

Everyone is hyping up on Hinata & Kageyama or Iwaizumi & Oikawa's friendship BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT USHIJIMA'S AND TENDO'S FRIENDSHIP?

YES. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. LOOK AT THEM. so beautiful. *sobs*

Everyone is talking about how glorious Lev & Alisa looks modelling together and their billboard in the streets of Shibuya but can we pause for 5 seconds to stare at the Yaku Morisuke?

LET US FREAKOUT LOOK AT YAKU WEARING THIS GORGEOUS SUIT?

Sir YOU LOOK FINE AS HELL.

I also love the fact Yaku and Lev still communicate with each other, Lev even called Yaku asking him if he has seen the billboard in Shibuya. How precious ❤ also Yaku part of the Russian VLeague team??? HOLY SHIT.

Also, I love that almost everyone in team Karasuno are gathering in Tanaka's house while watching the Olympic game together. Their solid friendship just have my heart and soul.

This moment is where all AsaNoya stans are SCREAMING TO OBLIVION. Asahi and Nishinoya TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER. Like HOLY SHIT GOOD LORD IMAGINE ALL OF THE FANFICS WE WILL GET TO READ. (Ao3 writers I'm looking at you guys)

This panel just took my breath away, I started tearing up when I was reading this. It's a full circle of Oikawa's journey - he is now against the people he wanted to defeat during this youth (Kageyama and Ushijima). He is even standing on the other side of the court against his best friend Iwaizumi.

I want to make a comparison between Ushijima & Kageyama and Iwaizumi during this panel.

Ushijima & Kageyama as Oikawa's rivals. During middle school he felt like he couldn't stand a chance against a genius setter who is 2 years his junior, in his middle school until high school him & team keeps on losing against Ushijima (who is also considered as a genius and a stroke of luck because of his left handed spikes.) Oikawa desires to DEFEAT them. This strong sense of competitiveness have matured & the adrenaline of finally become better than them WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE A GENUIS but because of SHEER HARD WORK and TENACITY.

What makes them vastly different from Iwaizumi?

It is clearly shown that it was Iwaizumi who said to Oikawa "I will defeat you on the day we fight." Not Oikawa saying that he wants to defeat Iwaizumi - instead he said "I'll be waiting for it." Oikawa does NOT have the same intense desire of needing to defeat Iwaizumi (compared to Ushijima & Kageyama) instead he said it with nostalgia. Despite Iwaizumi no longer playing volleyball professionally he is still associated with volleyball as Team Japan's athlete trainer.

It's also important to mention that Iwaizumi is Oikawa's foundation of friendship and support, Iwaizumi keeps Oikawa grounded- they have seen each other's struggles and success. THAT SHIT JUST GOT ME AND MY FEELS.

ALSO LOOK AT IWAIZUMI'S HUGE ASS PROUD GRIN, OUT OF ALL SMILES IN THIS WORLD IWAIZUMI HAJIME'S SMILE IS MY FAVORITE. (Clearly I'm an Iwaizumi simp)

the moment we've all be waiting for...

OIKAWA TOORU OFFICIALLY PART OF THE ARGENTINIAN NATIONAL TEAM.

HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HOLD MY HAND BECAUSE I'M SMILING AND CRYING AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN OF MY EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER IN THIS MOMENT.

I just want to say this...

OIKAWA TOORU IS THE REAL UNDERDOG OF HAIKYUU.

Imagine he has NO National experience (unlike Hinata who actually got to go to Nationals & made a name for himself.) Oikawa got the skills, the strategy, the tactics, dedication, and intense competitiveness but HE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE (he even went as far as pushing himself to be better in volleyball resulting to injuring his knee. THAT IS SOME INTENSE DEDICATION.) During his middle school and high school volleyball matches or to be able to participate in Nationals or even in Japan All Youth Team's & Trainings NOT ONCE HE IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY (and honestly that shit sucks because you know that your actually good at something but no one bats an eyelash towards your direction? It must have hit on Oikawa's pride.)

OIKAWA IS THE REAL UNDERDOG. He does not lack height (compared to Hinata) but he lacks the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and he lacks the chance of be in center stage when he was in Japan.

But now in Argentina he becomes the REAL KING OF THE COURT. Now, he FINALLY is at center stage dazzling brighter than anyone, he is the most talked about volleyball player - he used to be a nobody in Japan but now he is someone that everyone knows and acknowledges.

Hands down the BEST character development.

Now I NEED Haikyuu chapter centered on Oikawa's struggles and experiences in Argentina - alone in a foreign country to chase his dreams that shit is amazing and inspiring.

This panel made me stop breathing for a while. LOOK AT MAGNIFICENT AND GLORIOUS THEY ARE.

JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.

I HAVE NO WORDS. EVERYONE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL AND LOOK AT THAT TINY IWA IN THE CENTER.

My skin has cleared. My sadness now gone. My lifespan increased by 10 years. Someone please put this panel on my forehead, thank you very much.

There are so many important portions in the following scenes in this panel but I choose this one because it reminded me of Hinata & Kageyama's dynamics since Season 1.

Hinata always calling for a toss to Kageyama (remember Season 1: Dateko VS Karasuno match, or during Season 2 Training camp Hinata always calls for a toss and Kageyama always delivers.)

The greatest weapon is their powerful bond and synchronization, their freak duo toss that shifts the momentum of the game.

Kageyama and Hinata: the greatest rival, the greatest opponent, the greatest ally, and now the greatest weapon FINALLY used on center stage.

For me this moment really put Haikyuu into it's full circle, it really put it into completion, and it truly made it perfect ending.

This image of Udai Tenma drawing on his new manga that is ABOUT VOLLEYBALL and this little boy riding a bicycle looking at the TV (this ICONIC moment Season 1 Episode 1, Haikyuu Chapter 1)

Hinata Shoyou used to be the boy riding his bicycle looking at Karasuno's number 10 Little Giant - now Hinata Shoyou isn't just known as 'Little Giant' but Ninja Shoyou proudly wearing this Number 10 Jersey PART OF JAPAN'S NATIONAL TEAM.

He is now someone ALL children aspires to be, someone that they want to become in the future - someone that inspires them to play volleyball and keep on breaking the tall wall looming over them.

I FULL BLOWN SOBBED DURING THIS MOMENT. The impact, the power, the intensity of volleyball into their lives.

These two moments really struck a chord, Haikyuu isn't just about Hinata and his teammates. It is about no matter how little or big your journey is it will always leave the GREATEST impact into someone's life.

This wraps up the 8 truly amazing years of Haikyuu.

Furudate and his wonderful team of assistants, editors, translators, and researchers. Thank you for bring us joy through Haikyuu - thank you for inspiring us everyday and for creating these characters.

I've been reading Haikyuu for 3 years already, when I first watched a Haikyuu with no expectations and no idea what is volleyball but now I am fully immersed in the Haikyuu fandom. Who would have thought I'll be obsessed with this anime? I've watched and read so many manga & animes but it is Haikyuu that really struck me the most.

This ending is BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS - it really blew me off the roof and I have a mixture of both sadness and joy. I'm sad that Haikyuu is ending but I'm also happy that all of the characters I grew to love have forged their own paths and grew not just as volleyball players but as characters that we can connect and relate on.

I would like to quote my favorite line in Haikyuu:

"For today you happen to be the defeated. But what will you become tomorrow?"

- Chapter 368: What Will You Become?

Thank you for the last 8 years Furudate!

(This is an extremely lengthy post, if you have come this far, congratulations! 🎉)

ok what about reader asking some silly questions out of curiosity and Mando indulging them, like what happens when he gets sick/is sneezing while unable to remove the helmet, how he learned to cut his own hair etc. - I think it would be really cute :,)

Just a quick drabble before I go to bed!

“Have you ever gotten a cold?” you asked.

“Worse has happened,” he answered plainly.

“No, I mean what happens when you get symptoms of a cold?”

He walked around silently, doing what he needed to do. You were down in the hull of the Crest, watching as he made some minor repairs. You’d noticed he was in a more permissive mood than usual, and decided to take the opportunity.

“You know…sneezing, tissues needed, that sort of stuff,” you elaborated.

He sighed. “I take it off. I usually don’t have other living things around,” he answered in a monotone voice, though you thought you could detect a hint of playfulness.

“I’ve been staying on this ship with you for how long now, and I’ve never heard you cough or anything,” you noted.

“You asked if I’d ever had a cold, not when the last time I had one was.”

“What, the armor protects you on the outside and the inside, too?” you teased.

You have no idea, he thought. “Something like that.”

“How long have you had to take care of yourself on your own?” you asked, a little more seriously.

“Long before I came of age,” he said after a pause.

“You had to learn all the basics on your own? You have to shave, and cut your hair, right?”

“Yes.”

You didn’t add anything else, just watched him quietly. He sighed again after a few moments.

“It doesn’t take much to figure out how to use a blade and cut so that the hair doesn’t fall into your eyes,” he said, simply.

He was a practical man.

You didn’t want to bother him any longer so you dropped the questions. 

“Well…I consider values and integrity to be “basics”, as well,” you said quietly. “And I’d bet the Mandalorians would be proud of who you’ve become.”

You suddenly felt bolder. “If you get a cold and I’m around, maybe I can help you with that next time. You shouldn’t have to do everything alone.” You looked up at him once, then climbed back up to the top.

Din gazed in your direction for a few moments after you were gone, then shook his head at himself. He wasn’t getting any better at keeping you out of his thoughts. Anymore of your playful teasing and kindness, and he wouldn’t be able to keep the walls up for much longer.

“warm me up kageyama!!”

Been screaming about deaf/hoh Tanaka for half an hour.

Signing Dad at Daichi and Mom at Suga

He has name signs for the whole team

Karasuno signs their plays so Tanaka doesn’t have to wear his hearing aids during games and worry about breaking them (It’s useless against Fukurodani because BOKUTO IS ALSO DEAF)

Tanaka and Noya sign endearments to each other across the court

And in hallways

They are increasingly more ridiculous

Tanaka very deliberately signs ‘asshole’ every time tsukki speaks

He’s so proud when tsukki signs asshole back

When Bokuto notices Tanaka’s hearing aids he gets really excited and signs really fast

And Tanaka gets EQUALLY EXCITED

Two excited signing birbs

Kuroo sighs for twelve years

“Kenma I’ve been replaced”

DEAF TANAKA

Hi! Idk if this has been asked before but have you thought about what quirks kagehina would have if they were in bnha?

I know this took me ages to answer but that’s because ITS A HIGH PRESSURE QUESTION!!!!

I wanted to think of things that fit not just their canon personas but also their dynamic, because KageHina’s abilities (especially early on) revolve so heavily on the way they augment each other’s existing strengths! So with that said:

KAGEHINA HERO AGENCY: Invincible DuoAfter graduating from Yuuei and spending several years as sidekicks to popular pro heroes, the two of them moved to Tokyo where they set up their fledgling hero agency that has been seeing a surprising amount of success. They’re continuing to build up their reputation as a team of young and resilient pros who have a knack for overcoming stacked odds. Separately, they are formidable, but together they’re unstoppable, a force of nature. Their agency is managed by Yachi (one of the top graduates in the business course)!

HINATA SHOUYOU QUIRK: SpringThe faster Hinata goes, the farther he can jump, and vice versa. He can also store up kinetic energy in his legs as he moves! It might seem like an underwhelming quirk at first, but through lots of hard work and training, Hinata hones his abilities to the point where he can cycle it into a near infinite feedback loop of maneuverability, making him almost impossible to defend against in a fight. His strengths lie not in brute force, but in speed and agility as he zooms at impossible angles around the battlefield. 

KAGEYAMA TOBIOQUIRK: PinpointKageyama’s mental reflexes and perceptive calculation are nine times faster than that of an average human, granting him superhuman physical reflexes and perfect accuracy in all areas. He specializes in non-lethal firearms (courtesy of their support team), and is a master of several different kinds of martial arts. Although his physical strength is only comparable to a normal human (in top physical condition), his defensive ability makes him nearly untouchable.

Invincible Duo quirk synergy: Kageyama is able to control the flow of a fight with his perception, maneuvering enemies into situations and traps and allowing Hinata to get the drop on them before they even realize what’s happened. Similarly, because Kageyama is the only person who can keep up with Hinata’s movements in a fight, Hinata can alert him to danger and make sure he’s not left undefended against opponents with superhuman capabilities. Their quirk interactions make them unbeatable when they work together.

~*~*~THIS WAS SO FUN!!! And! I’m trying to come up with pro hero names for KageHina based on the above SO if anyone has ideas, drop me a reply or an ask~ and maybe it’ll make it into an eventual fic, who knows :O

2. Kissing // KageHina

« {Part 2 of my KageHina Valentine’s collection.} »

a/n: in which kageyama is oblivious and hinata is awkward and they’re both dorks. also available on AO3.

Hinata is… confusing.

Granted, most people are confusing to Kageyama, and on the whole, Hinata is typically one of the less confusing people in Kageyama’s life. Both he and Hinata like volleyball, after all. For the first time in his life, Kageyama actually feels like he gets someone, and that person gets him. He can invite Hinata over to play volleyball whenever he wants. Somehow, practicing volleyball with Hinata is actually more fun than playing it by himself. They even hang out without playing volleyball sometimes, and it’s still fun.

That’s probably why they’re dating, he thinks.

Still—boyfriend or not—Kageyama is not the best at reading people. And Hinata is being especially confusing today.

“Kageyama… do you want to… um,” Hinata mumbles, staring at his shoes as he shifts from foot to foot. “Do you want to… go to the roof?”

Keep reading

Ok so Hinata always has WAY too much energy and it takes him forever to fall asleep. He’ll be exhausted after a game but still keep talking and talking…

BUT the moment Kageyama starts playing with/ stroking his hair, he’ll be fast asleep in less than five minutes.
