The only reason I don't simp Tanaka is because when I started watching Haikyuu I somehow found out he ended up with Kiyoko so idk I kinda felt weird about it (which doesn't make much sense) but I think I may slowly start to simp him
no bc :( i love tanakiyo so much they are so cute but it does make it hard to simp for him knowing that in the og hq universe he has already devoted himself to someone. that's part of the reason i don't include her in my stories with him, bc it just doesnt seem realistic that he'd choose me over kiyoko ,,,, she's so....
HOWEVER i think the beauty of writing fanfiction is that :( it doesn't matter - that you can headcanon whatever u want because the only thing it will affect by allowing yourself to do that is possibly helping your mental health. which is what it does for me, a lot. the idea of him is unhealthily something i use to be healthy LMAO
i dunno how to explain it but he just seems like one of the more real characters to me? like whefd he has a sense of humour and a ton of flaws that are absolutely beautiful and he works hard but he gets discouraged but he holds on and he has his own way of expressing himself like his character is so defined and he isn't just 'hot guy with nice hair' he's like ,,, funny guy, encouraging guy, capable of many emotions, unique, and just ,,, someone i would hang around. and for me if a relationship is gonna work then we have to get along like best friends and i 100% would vibe with tanaka like that
