That's My Girl now has art!✨️💖✨️
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
@neon-gin created another banger of a piece of art for me, for my fic "That's My Girl", where trans girl Akaashi reunites with Bokuto after many years apart. I love this fic so much, I wrote it in honor of my lovely wife 😍
Check it out if you're ready to both cry a lil' and get a bit spicy (Rated E), and check out Gin's other lovely works here
A bit of a different post, one that will be continuously updated as I read through more of the new material!
What falls into this category? Any new reveals about characters’ lives or personality, and generally useful things for anyone still writing HQ content in the year of our lord 2026. At this point, “2022 onwards” refers to HQ 10th Chronicle (10C), HQ Magazine 2024 (Z24), and HQ Magazine 2025 (Z25). Everything in this list will be marked with its source
Last update: 12 June 2026 – some Oikawa bits
*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!
Karasuno High School
Udai Tenma
as of 2022 an anime adaptation of Meteor Attack has been confirmed [10C]
the main character of Meteor Attack belongs to Nora High School, their rival team being Samoedou Academy [Z25]
Kageyama Tobio
as of 2024 now plays for Ifviga Torino in the Italian SuperLega during club season [Z24]
Yamaguchi Tadashi
basically got the captainship in his third year via process of elimination [Z24]
Aoba Johsai High School
Oikawa Tooru
was not thinking about naturalization when he first moved, just wanted to learn more from Jose Blanco [Z25]
moved club teams to CA La Boca in 2022 [Z24] because he got a good offer from La Boca around the same time that Blanco decided to go coach for the Tachibana Red Falcons [Z25]
did not know the language when he first moved and got frustrated at times, but when completely absorbed in volleyball and his own livelihood, was able to communicate comfortably [Z25]
still does remote meetups with the Seijoh squad [Z24]
watches Japanese dramas [Z24]
Shiratorizawa Academy
Ushijima Wakatoshi
as of 2024 now plays for PKS Poznań, still in Poland PlusLiga during club season [Z25, assumed 2024 because he and Yaku were never on the same team at the same time]
currently captain of the Japanese national team [Z25]
Semi Eita
band members keep quitting but is still trying to hold things together, as of 2025 lacking a bass player and drummer [Z25]
Shirabu Kenjirou
specializes in orthopedic surgery [Z25]
Kawanishi Taichi
now works in food production and sales—as in raw food and groceries, the supply line [Z25]
Fukurodani Academy
Bokuto Kotaro
scares very easily—when someone is right around the corner or right behind a door, scary movies or games, he flies up in shock [Z25]
Akaashi Keiji
during his captainship since he wasn’t as charismatic as Bokuto, learning to communicate well was a necessity, though the team was so capable that he apparently did not have many anxieties [Z25]
Nekoma High School
Yaku Morisuke
as of 2024 now plays for Orzeł Warsazawa in Poland PlusLiga during club season [Z24]
Haiba Lev
current occupation now includes actor/performer [Z24] and has a decent amount of fans [10C]
The mischaracterization around Bokuto will always kill me bcz no he's not a baby 😭 the infantilization is almost as bad as how it was with Hinata.
Yes, Bokuto is childish, and not very academically bright, but outside of that he's actually emotionally intelligent. Like how in the dumpster battle he appraches Yachi with Akasshi and talks to her, what he says to her (with the help of akaashi) is emotionally intelligent. He's not completely stupid and incapable, he's actually smart when it comes to others emotional state.
Beint emotionally intelligent is honestly better than being acedemically intelligent. For example, Tsukishima, hes smart, but he's a fucking asshole, or Oikawa he's smart but not great with emotions.
But i cant stand fanon haikyuu, it pisses me off to no end 😭 stoner suna is a racist hc (the hc was made bcz of his eyes), player kuroo?? He's literally the most normal teenage boy ever, he's not fucking bitches. 😭
Not only will I die on the hill that Bokuto is smart goddammit (not just emotionally intelligent, as OP said, but of average academic intelligence too)
Kuroo is the biggest dork, I can't stand fanon interpretations that make him into an ultra suave smooth fuckboy
Y'all forget the manga is set in 2012-2013. Or more than likely, a lot of newer fans just weren't around then. The flippy, over the eyes scene hair was so overdone by 2012, and I think that the hair and deep gravely English VA tricked a lot of folks into buying the bad boy Kuroo image
It's not giving "fuck boy", its giving "chronic whiplash" from always flipping his bangs out of his eyes
when they think we’re mutilating ourselves to the point that they pose as SRS doctors and literally mutilate us for their agenda. cis ppl don’t forget this
topsurgery.net is a site with lots of before + after pics categorised by surgeon. I encourage everyone with other resources on srs surgeons and their results to share them here, for mtf/mtx surgeries too please

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
in realism world i do think that shane and ilya both keep their last names, definitely professionally even if not also legally, and would at most hyphenate legally. BUT! i also think that by far the funniest option is that shane takes ilya's name and ilya takes shane's name and they just. you know. switch. and then shane joins the centaurs with the name rozanov on his jersey and ilya wears hollander, and they spend the next five seasons minimum making every commentator hate their fucking job
What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
