getting to know you tag game!

tagged by @reineyday and i THINK @dakiaomine this is the same as the one you tagged me in! sorry it took so long orz (edit: i finished this post like… last week i just forgot to actually POST it so like. even worse. lmao.)

last song: space by madison morton ! i will always leave a space for you in my bed / and if you can’t get you and me out of your head / i would gladly ride this bus route home to you instead — its sooo iwaoi coded augh

currently watching: i re-started blue lock the other day so i guess we’re doing that now! i wasn’t ready for it a few months ago but i’m rly enjoying it now. bachira’s my fav, quelle surprise 🙄

current obsession: mmm hhnmm it would be weird to say my own fic but im so excited to write more ahhh. so i guess it’s still haikyuu haha

currently reading: i just finished rereading a nasty hardcore gay bdsm book series (dm me for pdfs if u want lmao) but nothing right at this second. wait if manga counts i’m reading jjk. then witch hat is next. but i also have to catch up on wind breaker—

currently working on: just made a post abt that but specifically, today, right now, i am working on the first chapter of mute!sakusa fic. even tho i have literally so much else to work on. 🤷

currently wearing: wow u caught me on a good day and the answer isnt just underwear. uh, compression socks always (black), light purple sweatpants with ‘ohana means family’ down the leg, black ‘equality’ tank that has a rainbow for the U. trying to wear it as much as possible this month. OH and of course my rose colored glasses :) literally, pink tint sunglasses with clear plastic frames. and my yellow/pink/green slip resistant crocs with squishmallows jibbits. ✌️

last search: well literally i just typed bachira’s name into google to make sure i was spelling it correctly. and before that i searched up ‘madison morton space lyrics’. but before this POST it was… oh. i was doing some research for deaf!lev so it was ‘how to say ready to go in japanese sign language’. for those curious, the answer is this sign followed by pointing in the direction you’re going! the more you know!

“Excuse me, the sex dungeon?” —’s trying to get past in earnest now, practically plastered to ——’s front as he fumbles behind him for the door latch. “Now that I have to see.”

“There’s no sex dungeon. Forget I said anything.”

aro question for those who might know better

like… i have been told i’m not aromantic. and i don’t think i’m textbook aromantic, since i experience pretty intense crushes (that make me want to throw up or die). but they’re not necessarily romantic. they’re like… ‘i want to get to know this person/i want to be important to them/i want to be close to them.’

and basically i’m realizing my idea of romance, for myself (not characters) has little if anything to do with what society considers romantic. like pretty much none of it. but, as someone pointed out, i’m already in an asexual4asexual nb4nb relationship which is kind of already all the way out there. so romance doesn’t HAVE to mean anything to me, since i’m already here and it doesn’t matter.

but i think… it might matter to me. i think i would feel better being able to identify myself.

is there an aromantic spectrum niche term that might apply here? where can i go for a list? nothing i’ve seen so far has resonated with me the way that aporagender and aegosexual did.

in summary:

—does experience crushes (ive had romantic crushes in the past before but platonic more recently)

—does not like or want romance (active dislike)

—does want to be in a partnership

—loves very deeply

idk i feel a bit alone here. this is confusing.

for shouyou’s bday AND father’s day AND the summer solstice… i would have really loved to write a cute fic about hinata being a dad at the beach or something

but today was also the deadline for june’s flash exchange and the amount of words i have pumped out today to get everything i wanted written is. maybe a little insane.

so here, have a stick figure doodle with quite possibly the worst volleyball i’ve ever drawn. or seen. in my life. and bonus natsu+kuzuchan

no reference was used for any part of this up to and including my own marker color swatches. rip

• WIP Whenever •

if @evelhak interpreted the previous tagger correctly… XD this is a “post whatever from your WIP”! thanks for the tag! i took your cue for it to be a somewhat longer snippet than i usually post.

context:

i expect absolutely No One to care about this even though it’s in the ETWT verse

Kuzu is Suna (now Komori) Rintarou’s little sister, but he adopted her so she uses brother and dad interchangably

as for ‘that one time Rin degloved his hand’… if u know u know

whatever just read it

Komori Kuzunoha was sixteen years old when she—

Okay, listen! It was the Spring Tournament. Her high school had made it to Nationals. She was a backup libero, no way would she would be start—oh, okay, turns out Shizuka-senpai twisted her ankle just after the first game. Great! She, of course, texts her dads furiously about it.

(This will be important later.)

Round Two is when the seeded teams drop into the bracket. But what are the odds that they—

Kuzu stares at the posted list with mounting horror and panic.

It’s only round two, and they are up against Niiyama, the top high school girls’ team in the country.

What are the fucking odds?!

She texts Rin about this. She texts Uncle Osamu. She even texts Uncle Omi, though she knows he’s probably busy with the twins.

Why are we playing Niiyama already?!

This is it. The end of her volleyball career. She’s a first-year reserve libero up against the top girls in the nation, she’s going to mess up so royally and publicly that everyone’s going to forget even that one time that Rin degloved his hand.

Okay, maybe she was getting a little worked up about this.

She takes a seat in the hall and slowly counts on her fingers. Five things you can see. Four you can feel. Three you can hear. Two you can smell. One—she takes a sip of Pocari—you can taste.

Listen up, buttercup, you’re not a Komori for nothing, she tells herself sternly. You will get out there and make your dads proud and absolutely crush it!!

Still, she ducks a hand into her bag and fishes out a familiar hairclip with a yellow bow. It gets pinned into her ponytail holder, so it won’t fly off mid-match. There. Now she’s ready.

i don’t understand why ppl don’t like the training camp arc of s4 (haikyuu ofc). like literally. yeah hinata’s having a frustrating time but once you know what happens you know this is an amazing learning moment for him.

…AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF ok heres why its my favorite favorite part of the anime to rewarch 500million times:

—obviously, we meet hoshiumi and sakusa, monstrously important for me personally

—kinkuni are there!!!

—kunimi gets a plot moment!

—HYAKUZAWA

—HINATA AND HYAKUZAWA

—literally everyone at the miyagi camp is like ‘thats hinata shoyo why the FUCK was he not invited???’ except two idiots who are laughing at him meanwhile everyone else is activated and ready to THROW DOWN (bc hinata wrecked their shit so bad already)

—this is where goshiki and kogane meet if thats your ship (it is for me!)

—we also meet KOMORI!!!!

—and atsumu i guess

—literally washijo forcing hinata to be a ball boy- and continuing to force it, making him actually pay attention and do the work- was accidentally the best thing that ever happened to him. and we’ll NEVER KNOW if that was on purpose.

—washijo teaching hyakuzawa like, gently??

—i

ok let’s remember a few things. 1. shiratorizawa has faced kamomedai before. i do believe that ushijima comparing hinata to the ‘other short player’ that he’s met was DEFINITELY an allusion to hoshiumi. ergo, washijo knows that hoshiumi exists and what he’s capable of.

so what is it about hinata that sets him off so bad? i think, he sees hoshiumi as a fairly polished player who knows his strengths. he has that Hunger, but he doesn’t show it nearly as much because he’s been honing his spear a lot longer. but hinata’s all hunger and potential and no development and it makes washijo upset. not that he’s short, not that being short is bad (never mind that washijo believes tall is best thats not the point), its that hinata isn’t training in the way that’s best for him.

i mean, that’s what i HAVE to conclude if we’re never going to get Washijo Reacts To Hoshiumi Kourai. like maybe he discounted it as ‘well he’s a genius that’s different’ or ‘when you’re a powerhouse school with money that’s what you get’ but idk neither of those seems to be right.

this is why i can’t stop watching this arc okaaayyy

im also dying to know who else from the all-japan camps ended up on pro teams. who was ushijima playing with when he was there. did the other top spikers make it? i assume so. which means bokuto, aran, and kiryuu made it, and like i assume iizuna did too. but we have very few important third-years from national teams?? abd who made it to the actual worlds? im assuming kageyama did bc hes kind of a big deal as a setter.

AAAAAHHHHHHHGGG
