- i imagine him as an artsy type; drawing, painting, crafts
- definitely customizes/accessorizes his stuff. he can never run out of stickers, beads and charms
- spent way too much time playing online dress up games
- 100% gacha kid. can never make a bad oc design
- mostly listens to madilyn mei, the oh hellos, cosmo sheldrake, aurora, and the entire steven universe soundtrack
- mom is a florist, dad sells antiques. they are very supportive of his interest in art
- learned to arrange flowers and make bouquets from his mom. because of this, he knows all the meanings behind many flowers.
- favorite flower is the hollyhock (growth and rebirth) because he was named after it
- would occasionally help his dad clean up the antique shop. the paintings in the shop is where he got interested in art
- history nerd, most likely from his dad's influence. could probably identify if an artefact is greek or roman just from the design alone
- figured out to how tie shoelaces and braid hair without being taught
- really good at sudoku and crossword puzzles
- went to an art school for college (illustration & animation)
- i think in timeskip he'd be a background painter for an animation studio. either that or he'll take over his mom's flower shop in case the first option doesn't work out
- was really scared of teradomari upon first meeting
- for some reason he keeps associating echigo with strawberries?
- out of all his senpais, maruyama is his favorite
- among the team, he feels most comfortable talking about his interests with maruyama, kaikake, atema, and tsukioka. well, its more like one of each of his interests (history with maru, music with kaikake, art with atema, and volleyball with tsukioka)
- do not, under any circumstance, pick him up without asking. he will start screaming at you to put him down
- refuses to use glitter for any of his arts and crafts. he already cannot handle silver dust
They all hang out on Skype the most because y'know...different prefectures lol.
The Miyagi captains see each other a lot tho!
The current second-year captains especially exchange advice a lot since they're newest to it.
Shibuya (Tokonami Captain; I'm just guessing here): Guys I think I accidentally started a disagreement between the first-years and I feel really bad about it, what do I do?
Futakuchi (Date Tech Captain): Look, I start 90% of the fights on my team so...
Towada (Ougiminami Captain): Our team just settles it in a death match.
Terushima (Johzenji Captain): We don't really fight per say, the gym just accidentally gets set on fire on occasion.
Komaki (Kakugawa Captain): Why do I feel like I'm the only one who actually has it semi-together?
Fr tho all the captains envy Komaki so much because his team is literally the only decently-sane one among them.
Like the biggest problem he has to deal with other than teens being teens is Asamushi getting too fired up sometimes and Hyakuzawa accidentally hitting his head on doorways.
As for dynamics among them...
There is a mutual agreement to keep Kuroo and Daishou separated at all times because the power of petty exes is too much for them (Iizuna is in charge of making sure they're at least 6 feet apart when possible).
The ONLY time those two have ever agreed on something was when some asshole started insulting their first-years.
The guy still gets nightmares about it.
Oikawa and Ushijima are also kept apart most times, though Oikawa's getting better at understanding him while Ushijima is starting to get why Oikawa feels the way he does.
They like to bitch about their fellow year-mates too.
Daichi complains about Suga's chaoticness and Asahi's timidness.
Kuroo complains about Yaku at any opportunity (though rarely Kai).
Oikawa loudly whines about the "disrespect" he endures from all the third-years (barring Yuda, the one who was crying with pride for all of them).
Daishou is fed up with how unhelpful his third-years are when it comes to any life advice (he doesn't have it together, but nobody else does either, sooo).
Bokuto likes to join Oikawa in his protest against "cruelty against captains"; the one he complains most about is Konoha, but the rest of them are still talked about very frequently.
Nakashima always follows up his complaints with something positive about them. Daichi is both jealous and in awe of this (little does he know it's a technique developed to stop Takeru from decking his siblings sometimes).
Ushijima doesn't like to complain about his teammates much bc he doesn't really see the point when you could just tell them they're being annoying dicks.
Iizuna's complaints usually aren't too bad and far between, but on days when Itachiyama loses practice matches due to the team's attitude...whoo boy.
Suwa is like...so calm? And his complaints are always so minor? And always with a completely patient expression? And the captains are so confused in the beginning because their only prior personal experience with Kamomedai is the few Hoshiumi interviews people manage to get and that kid sure as hell isn't this calm.
And then one day Nozawa is making provocations worthy of Futakuchi and he comes in complaining and everyone's just like there it is.
Echigo's pretty chill too, since Tsubakihara isn't a particularly rambunctious team, but some days Teradomari gets completely slandered for the dumbass moves he pulls during practice on occasion (he's trying to show off to the underclassmen; spoilers, it's not working, but Himekawa politely claps for him at least).
Kiryuu always feels really bad about venting even when it's clear he needs to (he was the one who put in the "no insulting the second or first years" rule since he felt it was unfair to the underclassmen), but he's getting better.
Him and Oikawa trade mental health tips sometimes.
The previous captains like to drop in sometimes.
It's canonical that the Date Tech third-years can't leave their underclassmen alone, so they show up most often.
The two Komakis confuse everyone to no end.
Ikejiri and Komaki H (Tokonami's old captain) show up the most for their team.
Ikejiri is delighted to catch up with Daichi (they start having monthly catch-up sessions with Yui too at one point).
Okudake and Akimiya drop by sometimes to make sure their second-years haven't convinced anyone to commit major arson or join a gang.
Moniwa, Okudake and Akimiya are highly respected by everyone for dealing with the hazardous sassy disasters known as the Date Tech, Johzenji and Ougiminami second-years.
AN: sorry it’s been a while since I posted BUT 👀 I still have a dream to write at least 1 set of HC’s per team because I know each one of these bbys has a fan somewhere. It’s me, I am the fan.
You can’t tell me these aren’t some seriously blushie boys
They will simply perish the moment they find out they have a manager
Literally, they could have no clue who you are but once they find out, watch out
Instant protection squad!
They have like six second years so never fear Yn, you are secure
Coach Osado is actually the one who recruited you
He knew you were a good student and capable of managing a team
When he asked if you still needed a club and you responded “yes”, the deal was sealed 🤝🏻
The first person he’s gonna inform is our amazing third year setter, Echigo
That poor boy is exhausted
Literally carrying the teams moral on his back 😅
Needless to say, he’s stoked about having a manager!
However, Coach Osado and Echigo decide not to inform the rest of the team of you
Because there’s nothing better than a good surprise right?
Right : D
So on your first day, you walk into the gym and the boys are already warming up
They stop and look towards you 👀
Freaking so noisy istg-
They watch as your beauty lights up the space, and they all just stare at you
Literally 👁️👄👁️
Someone better make sure to get a mop because there is drool everywhere!
You smile at them and wave, walking over to Coach as Echigo stands and walks towards you both
Teradomari is super confused 🤨 and looks to his friend for answers
Too bad his friend is Maruyama, who is probably definitely simp #1 on Team YN
“Dude don’t stare at them! We don’t even know who they are!” Tera gritted out as Maru snapped from his thoughts
Literally just these goons all ogling you
Hope you don’t have social anxiety Yn 😅
All the second years, Tsukioka, Mikawa, Iwamuro, Atema, Maiko and Kaikake are silently thanking whomever sent you walking into the volleyball gym
Our precious Angel, Himekawa is just staring at you, face blush red as he watches you laugh at something Echigo says
Suddenly Echigo and you approach the team, a huge smile plastered on your face
“Guys this is Yn, our new manager,” he spoke as suddenly the gym went dead silent
Before ultimately erupting into chaos
“Our manager- as in our teams manager?!?” Maru shouts, standing up before running at you and Echigo for a group hug
“As in the collective groups manager?” Tera added
“Like YN’s gonna be at all the practices manager?” Maiko interjects
Echigo 👉🏻😐🙄 yes
“Wait wait- like YN’s gonna travel on a bus with us to tournaments and stuff?” Tsukioka promoted
You this whole time 👉🏻😅
Coach Osado 👉🏻 rethinking this entire decision
“YES- yes YN is our manager!” Echigo finally said, moving his hands in a circle to indicated that he was including everyone
“I’m really happy to be joining you! Thank you for this opportunity!” You smile as the boys instantly die on the spot from how adorable you are
“I think I’m gonna faint!” Maru shouted as you quickly ran over to him
“Do you need water or something?” You said, concerned as his eyes widened and locked with yours
Thankfully Tera became conscious during this process and quickly intervened
“Umm I think he’s ok Yn, here I’ll show you around,” he said, grabbing your arm as you waved to the boys and began about your first day as the teams manager
Now I wish I could say they chilled out, but they in fact, did not 😬
Sure they didn’t almost pass out every time they see you but man did they adore you
They all clamored to help you in anyway they can
There is no way coach has any issues getting these boys to practice
“YN come help me with spikes!” Mary shouts
You 👉🏻 ok 🥰
“No YN I need you to help me with my cross court shots!” Teru interrupts
You 👉🏻 sure 😃
“YN is going to be too busy helping me with serving!” Tsukioka interjects
You 👉🏻 okey dokey 😅
“I need the most help Yn!” Kaikake whines
You 👉🏻 on it 🫠
Good thing Echigo is there to straighten everything out
“Whoa whoa ok that’s enough fighting over Yn! You guys should learn how to practice on your own!”
You 👉🏻*instant relief* 😌
“Besides Yn is going to be too busy helping me with setting to help any of you,” Echigo adds 🙃
“YOU ALWAYS HOG YN!” Maru shouts as Tera and the entire team join in
You 👉🏻 🧍😀
Despite all their fighting, they do agree on one thing
And that’s protect Yn at all costs!
Seriously you probably have better security detail than most politicians YN
Especially at tournaments
Because these boys aren’t only nervous about the game
But now they have to worry about protecting their innocent Yn from boys 😱
At the qualifiers for nationals, these boys are already on edge
You’ve tried to calm them down by giving them words of encouragement by man are they tense
Coach suggests that maybe it would be beneficial for them to eat something to calm their nerves which you agree
But oops- it looks like you forgot the bentos on the bus
Darn it 😏
Oh well, nothing a short brisk walk won’t fix
Only they boys don’t know you have left them because they are too nervous to even function
And while you are on your adventure, there’s a few players who have been paying extra attention to you
High school hormones 🙄
So when they finally see that you’ve escape the guard and are now alone, they decide to pounce
“Hey there! I didn’t know Tsubakihara had such a pretty manager!” On of the boys said
You just blush and continue to walk, knowing you need to feed your boys
“Man I wish we had a cutie like you on our team,” another one of them says as to you
You continue to ignore them because you have a goal!
Back in the gym, it’s Himekawa who first notices your absence
He’s so nervous that his nervous are almost working for him and making him way more vigilant
He looks around confused before Atema finally says something
“What’s up dude?”
“Umm where did Yn go?” Himekawa asks as suddenly everyone looks up
It’s like the nerves just melt away as they all suddenly start to panic
“Omg YN’s lost! We lost our manager!” Maru shouts
“YN was just here a few minutes ago calm down!” Echigo says as coach interrupts
“I sent YN to get some bentos to calm you boys down,” he says as the boys eyes widen
“Like alone?!?” Teru questions
“There’s so many boys here! We have to find YN!” Iwamuro yells as the boys take off in search of you
By this time, you’ve made it to the bus and the now super annoying boys are still following you 🙄
Like please take a hint we have a job to do ok!
Just as you are about to say something, the doors slam open and your entire team comes running out
Literally it’s like that scene where Ukai runs to save Takeda from Inarizaki’s coach
👇🏻
“LEAVE OUR YN ALONE!” Maru shouts as the boys and you just stare
The boys 👉🏻😐
You 👉🏻🙄
They block you from the other boys as they puff out their chests and assert their dominance
“YN are these hooligans causing you issues?” Tera asks as you stare at him
“I’m fine,” you say
“Why are you bothering OUR manager?” Maiko questions
You 👉🏻 really I’m ok 😅
“We were just making sure nobody hurt them. They were walking all by themselves,” one of the annoying boys said
Oof- that really hit a nerve
“We knew right where Yn was the entire time!” Maru shouted
The team 👉🏻 🤨 we did?
“Yeah we trust Yn to do things on their own!” Atema added
The team 👉🏻 we do?
“So why did you come running-” you started before being interrupted
“Well would you look at the time! Sorry we have to go warm up now!” Tera shouted, pushing you away as the other boys grabbed the lunch boxes and you headed back inside
Once inside the boys deflated, feeling relieved that they had found you safe
“You know, those guys are who we play first,” you smirked 😏
so i only suggested it as a joke but like. here's the fucking list of token cishet haikyuu characters per team i guess let's go!!
(also i am SO sorry i know this is way past fifteen minutes)
karasuno: oh dear oh fuck. okay look i love daisuga and kurodai as much as the next person but solid reliable daichi?? daichi who is like the epitome of big man on campus?? who at first glance looks like he doesn't even know what there is beyond gay?? and yeah he doesn't really understand sometimes, but all he knows is that he loves his team and he wants them to be happy!! so he does his best!!
nekoma: y'all already know but. lev LMFAAO. like it truly can't be anyone else he's sixteen, he's got no shame, he's got a cool older sister who teaches him that, no, the pad does NOT stick to the body and yes you need a top coat to have good nails . . . lev is just so honest and straightforward and simple-minded in the BEST way possible i love him
seijoh: kindaichi for very very similar reasons to daichi but like. on the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum. like. he's a bit of an asshole! he gives off classic american high school bigoted jock vibes!! he looks like he'd shove your head down the toilet and trip you in the hallway! but he's actually quite kind and thoughtful and even tho he's never been in a fight in his LIFE he WOULD get into one for seijoh!!
fukurodani: komi haruki!! komi haruki!! komi fuckin haruki!!! like whatever people say about bokuto being the only himbo on fukurodani is SO fucking untrue komi haruki has the muscle to just straight up DECK anyone being an absolute asshole and will take you out for coffee after!!
shiratorizawa: not that i intend on making a pattern with the liberos but like. i do indeed think it would be yamagata LMFAAAO. because like, if we do process of elimination . . . it's NOT goshiki, it's NOT shirabu or kawanishi, it's NOT ushijima, tendou, semi, or reon . . . yamagata takes it!!
dateko: fukiage jingo. he's long-suffering bc he has to deal with kogasaku being absolute idiots about whatever it is they have going on but those are his friends and he loves them very much!!
johzenji: higashi. he's still more respectful than terushima and bobata ever were.
kakugawa: minamida. he always knows what to say and he learns REALLY easily.
nohebi: numai. he's good i can tell.
inarizaki: wouldn't you know it!! it's the libero again!! akagi michinari coming in hot with the "shut your mouth or i'll do it for you!!" and he's smiling like a total angel while he says it!!
itachiyama: iizuna. sakusa and komori rely on him for more than they intend to, but he doesn't mind.
mujinazaki: ezo. he's soooo fuckin tired man. he loves the team and he'll do anything for them, ESPECIALLY against an asshole, but dear god do they drive him nuts
kamomedai: suwa. i trust that man with my LIFE.
tsubakihara: echigo!! another one where the captain takes it. king's already got a gf too i just know he treats her right!!
