It's kind of shocking how Hinata is so commonly characterized as someone who is perfect at making friends and is a 100% extrovert-- which yes, he is, but I think people are forgetting how much anxiety he has and how much of a people pleaser he is. I'm rewatching Haikyuu rn and I'm on S1 E5, and the way Daichi came up to Hinata and his immediate response was "I'll block, I'll set, I'll do whatever you need me to!!" And the way he makes promises he can't keep because he wants people to like him is kind of sad. I doubt he had many friends growing up other than Izumi and Kouji, and was probably bullied for being loud, obnoxious, and a weirdo for playing volleyball with the girls or being so into volleyball. So now he makes promises he can't keep and tries to go above and beyond for the team because he doesn't want them to get rid of him or not take him seriously. Yes, he's good at making friends, but I doubt he knows how or why. He's clearly worried that people are only friends with him out of convenience and his jumping skills; that since they play together, they /have/ to be friends. He just wants to finally be of use to someone; for someone to take him seriously; someone who won't ignore him around other people bc they don't want to be seen with him (silly funny little hc of mine 🥰🥰) . But that's also why Karasuno is so great, because they really are a family. They love Hinata and are friends with him, and they like him because he's a good person, not because they have to be since they play together, or just because he's skilled and they want to take that from him. And maybe at first, Hinata didn't realize that, since after being ignored and bullied and mocked, he thought the only way someone would possibly want him around was because he could help them win. And since he's so short, of course, taller, older, buffer players would intimidate him because they could easily take advantage of the height difference, so all of his bathroom encounters are NOT helping his anxiety 😭😭😭 and the puking??? When hinata threw up on Tanaka?? Everybody is always so focused on Yamaguchi's anxiety that they don't look at or even realize Hinata's anxiety. LITERALLY, THE ENTIRETY OF EP5 IS ABOUT HINATA'S ANXIETY AND PEOPLE PLEASING BEHAVIOR,,, WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT IT???? THE KEY SCENE LIKE 20 MINUTES IN??? (For ref, Daichi, Suga, and Kageyama are talking about Hinatas behavior, and Daichi imagines a scene: He hands Hinata the club room keys, Hinata says he'll take it, Daichi says, "I never told you where to keep it, so I brought it", and Hinata bows repeatedly saying he's sorry (about 6 times)) THAT IS NOT NORMAL!!! And then he's so worried about not doing well because he feels like he needs to make up for everything (his height, his lack of skill, his lack of experience on a team, the incident with Kageyama, etc), AHH HE LITERALLY SAYS, "This isn't like junior high...because I can be replaced! I don't want that. I don't want to be replaced. " BUT NOBODY CARES?? NOT ONE PERSON IN THIS FANDOM (THAT I HAVE SEEN) TALKS ABOUT ANY OF THIS!!! All I ever see is how Hinata has tons of friends and is so popular and is a people magnet, but does anybody ever think that he's probably anxious because those friends might get bored of him and find new friends?? That since Kenma has known Kuroo a lot longer and already doesn't really like people, he might just decide to stop talking to him?? Or that Kageyama might get bored of Hinata and stop hanging out with him outside of volleyball?? Or that Daichi and/or Coach Ukai will one day realize that he isn't really that special, and anyone can jump or run fast, so he gets replaced??? Literally I bet his WORST FEAR is being replaced and forgotten.

Kiyoko Shimuzu is so Lululemon coded and Yachi Hitoka is literally TikTok preppy. It's true. I'm literally Yachi's hair clip guys she owns the pink Nirvana sweater and wears Sol De Janeiro (I think that's what it's called), and Kiyoko literally wears the define jacket and flared leggings!!!

If I started making ship posts, would anyone be interested? Lmao, I'm probably gonna make them anyways I'm just kinda curious to know if anyone cares- I'm probably just gonna do headcanons for my personal ships (I'm a multishipper yall dw) and maybe the occasional fanart? Like I draw a lot, but I don't usually draw ship art, so ehh. I only ask cause my usual content is headcanons and, like, stuff regarding personality or random wtv. idk I promise I will continue to do the (based) content I usually make and do these ships justice 😩😩🙏 I think I'm just worried about ship wars tbh 💀

Do we think that the Haikyuu plushies exist within the Haikyuu universe? How do we think Oikawa feels about the abuse of Oikawa plushies?

I've got more Hinata hcs :33 Hinata Shoyo is a bisexual king and I've hc for a while that his bi awakening was Zoro from One Piece and then not too long ago I discovered its canon that Zoro is his favorite character! Ik he saw Zoro come on screen and was like 😯😯😯 and knew he was bi before knowing what being bi was 💀 This is lowkey me projecting tho bc Zoro is so fucking fine but yeahhh... And, ppl need to start remembering Izumi and Kouji!!! In the very very few fics that include them, a lot of them have kouji/izumi, which idc, but I personally hc Izumi was Hinatas first bf like with the "have you had your first kiss yet?" "No.." "do you wanna, like, practice?? On each other?? So it's not awkward when we do it fr??" And then it's kinda like a moment of queer realization lmaooo. And this isn't really important anyhow because ships between the 3 don't matter anyways i just thought it was cute and silly,,,, so aside from that,, Kouji and Izumi came to that one Karasuno game (I forgot who against), which makes me think, did hinata ever go to one of Kouji's or Izumi's games? If I remember correctly, Kouji played soccer, and Izumi played basketball?? Do yall think hinata ever went to support them? Or even call? Or do we think that they all just kinda stopped talking once they started hs? It'd be sad if they came to his games and always supported him, but he kinda drifted away because he made new friends,,,

Pro tip for cosplayers; those magnetic dishes used for screws and stuff work perfectly for bobby pins too.

Guys, I LOVE tanned and freckled post Brazil Hinata,,, but guys,, he's ginger. Gingers don't typically tan well, and they get sunburned really easily. I want to believe in MY SOUL that he is beautifully toned and tanned after many, many hours playing volleyball on the beach, but that's probably not realistic at all 😭😭😭😭😭 Tbh tho that's not gonna stop me from dreaming

The "you're 19? you look older... that's not a compliment." Audio is so kageyema and oikawa coded

A personal Hinata headcanon of mine is that after learning Portuguese, he got kinda hooked on languages. He started learning a whole bunch of different languages either after coming to Brazil or leaving. (English, Spanish, French, in addition to Japanese and Portuguese is what I had in mind). Like idk, he failed English in high school, but once he was able to learn it for himself, not for a grade, and certainly not in a boring way his adhd couldn't understand, he got good at it. I don't think he's stupid. He may be dumb, but he's not stupid. I actually quite like the idea of him being a total nerd in lesser academic-y categories, like linguistics and etymology, the arts and history, and he'd like them especially for the cultural significance. He likes going to new places, even if they're not really that far from home, he just likes the new experiences and knowing how things are different between the two. Like how socially and economically different Miyagi and Tokyo are, how the behavior changes between the players at all the different schools, etc. He'd totally read up on the history of Brazil, wanting to learn everything about the culture there, just because it interested him. He'd probably like the history and cultural and social significance of different music genres and different art styles. He's content living in either Brazil or Japan; he's got no time for traveling the world like Nishinoya, but he learns a bunch of languages anyhow, simply because it's fun. Another headcanon is that he can cook really well (which I can explain another time), but he'd def cook all kinds of foreign dishes, once again, mostly for the culture. It's different. It's a new experience, one of his favorite things in the world, and now that he has the money and freedom and knowledge to make said dishes, the world is literally his oyster! He'd do anything to learn more about why certain cultures eat certain foods, why a certain genre of music is popular there, why they speak the way they do, all because it's fun and interesting to know!

I do not like cross-fandom fics or crossovers in general but,, BUT,, if it happened to be X files and Criminal Minds (and mayhaps Supernatural 👀👀), I would read it SO quick. And bc Mulder used to profile serial killers under the behavioral science unit at Quantico, it would be PERFECT BASIS FOR A CM CROSSOVER!!! Ex profiler teams up with current profilers for a case that involves and/or could count as an X file?? OHH unsolved serial killing case re-examined and discovered to fit with an X file so both teams called in?? And along the way they find brothers Sam and Dean suspicious and they seem fucking crazy but Mulder and Scully are like "no wait,, wait,, 🤨🤨🤨 they've got a point" and the bau just like ??? Cause these people seem batshit insane cause they're talking about monsters and aliens, but it works!!! And the criminal is under some other worldly influence, but that's just how it goes. Ohhhh, Mulder and Reid would love and hate each other bc they'd find the other so interesting and funny even, but they'd disagree on everything. Scully and JJ would be good friends, I think. Ahh this is turning kinda cringey I apologize but I've been thinking about this for a while hahah (I just started s2 of X files and s12(?) of CM)

Pt2 of Digimon Adventure anniversary post :333 I wanted to try a fisheye lens perspective and used Tai as my guinea pig sorry if it's not super good!! I haven't posted much art here yet

AHHHH I DIDNT REALIZE TODAY WAS THE 25TH ANIVERSARY OF DIGIMON ADVENTURE!!! HERE ARE SOME CUTE PICTURES !!!

This is so real

what is more homoerotic than the fact that rin and bon would have both literally died at birth if the other didn't exist

GUYS. DO YALL REMEMBER THE FUCKING PROMISED NEVERLAND HAIKYUU CROSSOVERS IN 2021???? I JUST REMEMBERED THAT WHAT THE FUCK WERE WE ON????? LIKE THEY WERE JUST KIDS WHO WENT THROUGH IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF TRAUMA AND JUST WENT "Volleyball!! 😙🫶🫶🫶🏐" LIKE WHATTT

Remember how the Haikyuu characters were horribly mischaracterized in 2020 and how every character was watered down to like 1 or 2 traits (tangerine/baby 🥺🥺 hinata, sugamama and dadchi, yamagucci, milkboi, etc 💀💀💀💀)??? so this might be kind of a hot take, but I think that Hinata lovesssss horror movies like I feel like in all the art or skits (especially when it's ship!!) I see of hinata watching a horror movie he ends up needing one of the bigger and stronger characters (namely Kageyama) to cover his eyes or for him to cling onto and they just kind of make him like "omg I'm so scared 🥺🥺🥺🥺 save me kageyama!!" But honestly, I think he would really enjoy horror. I personally love watching horror even though it scares me, and he would do the same. He likes the adrenaline rush and the suspense. He likes being kept on his toes, yk? He's trying to guess who the killer is or who the next villain is. He's gonna be terrified going in, and yeah, he'll probably scream at the jump scares, but he's smiling the entire time and talking about how cool or lame the effects are. Either that or he's staring at the screen very very intently and eating his fist fulls of popcorn and will not BLINK so he doesn't miss a single second. Like other people are grabbing onto HIM!! Actually, yk who can't watch horror movies at all? BOKUTO AND ATSUMU. Atsumu is definitely better but like he's the one who's hanging onto to hinata for dear life and Bokuto is fs screaming like a little girl and then denying it (he's telling people who were not there (probs Akaashi or Kuroo) he wasn't scared at all and it was actually sooo boring but they're like 🤨🤨🤨 lmaooo). Kenma has no reaction cause he played soo much FNAF that he's now detached from, like getting scared. Nishinoya is right along with Hinata, but Tanaka is a mix of them and Bokuto, like he lovessss horror, but screams like a little girl and then denies it. Kageyama, I'm not sure about. I feel like he'd freak out at the sight of blood and can only watch like paranormal horror, but would then get super confused as to what was happening bc paranormal horror tends to get confusing. Sorry, this turned into a headcanon post lmaoo

Woo another haikyuu post!!! :33

Why the fuck does Furudate put his characters the ugliest fucking outfits?? They're actually fucking atrocious.
