wholesome headcanons (oikawa edition ft. iwaizumi)

in honor of oikawa tooru's birthday (7/20) i'm doing another round of wholesome headcanons, this time specifically for our favorite ✨ sassy jellybean pretty boi ✨ i've got a request in my ask box for kagehina headcanons so that'll be next!! <333

despite having a huge fanbase in & outside of his school, oikawa is an absolute bi disaster

he gets flustered really easily (you can't tell me he didn't have some kind of bi panic when he first met suga)

oikawa has a pretty solid skincare routine and if he doesn't do it every day he gets self-conscious; it's such a good routine that ppl approach him to ask what his secret is for his clear skin

iwaizumi was there for all the experimenting and also follows a similar skincare routine, at first to show his support but then he admires the difference in how his skin feels so he continues to follow it

for all of his insults and teasing, oikawa doesn't actually hate kageyama—more like he sees him as an annoying little brother

this means that if someone hurts kageyama and he finds out abt it, there will be hell to pay

oikawa is very flexible with the concept of gender & sexuality and has no problem supporting any of his teammates or fellow classmates

imagine there's a non-binary kid in his class and that kid gets bullied for their form(s) of self-expression? disaster bi oikawa to the rescue

oikawa gets cold easily and so he's drawn to warm things (i.e. hot chocolate, sweaters, blankets, heaters/furnaces, iwa-chan)

oikawa is easily bribed/cheered up with the promise of milk bread

oikawa keeps up with the sci-fi subgenres of alien invasion/conspiracy & space opera and could write entire essays on the proof of aliens and it's just really endearing to hear him talk about it cos he's got that level of passion that rivals his love for volleyball

he's really good at calming people down when they're in a state of panic or distress

oikawa is perpetually sleep-deprived due to staying up late practicing, watching movies/anime/youtube/vb game recordings, studying, etc., and so sometimes he dozes off during the day and if that happens around any of the team, they get respectfully quiet

one time ushijima bluntly agreed that oikawa is attractive around other ppl, including oikawa ("yes, why wouldn't he know he's attractive? he owns a mirror" - a snippet of dialogue from @thursday-26, posted with permission) and oikawa was so surprised he couldn't do anything but stare and blush like the disaster he is

oikawa still has the little plushie takeru gave him when takeru was like, 3 or 4

sometimes oikawa watches the sunset and sends the pics he takes to iwaizumi, mattsun, and/or makki

that's it for now!! <33 happy birthday, oikawa. you deserved to go to nationals.

i feel like the haikyuu fandom doesn’t appreciate the friendships in haikyuu enough

dont get me wrong i love shipping, especially in haikyuu. haikyuu pairs are some of my otps

but at the same time i think i’m fine with most of my pairings not being cannon bc i just love when the characters interact platonic or not. haikyuu is one of the best written anime’s i’ve ever watched with some of the most well written characters ever.

i feel like there’s a part of the fandom that kind of obsesseses with the cannonity (thats not a real word just ignore it) of their ships. like yes it’s fun to point out akaashi maybe wearing bokuto s jacket or tsukkiyama having a moment separately on the court but we can just take time to appreciate these moments without turning it into an argument about whether the ships are cannon or not

of course this isn’t the whole fandom only a small part but i guess the point of this post was appreciate the show and the cute things we get and don’t argue about how others interpret your ships. i may see iwaoi as romantic but someone else may not agree and that’s fine! and there’s always cannon compliant fanfic people

in short this post was inspired by an argument i had with a friend the other day who in essence said “ people who don’t ship kagehina are homophobic” completely unironically

As much as I love the both of them, I can never really read self insert fics about Iwaizumi or Oikawa because I just see them together so naturally and I can never immerse. Astrophile really solidified that for me haha

I think that's a fair interpretation of reading their characters - there are some fantastic iwaoi fanfics that I've read on ao3 that gave me literal chills. But I guess it also depends on whether you read their bond as romantic or platonic because I genuinely believe that it can go either way! In the Astrophile I leaned into the whole childhood friendship blossoming into love trope for the two of them but then in my other Oikawa fic Icarus, their relationship is very solid, tho firmly platonic so...yeah.

But thats the beauty of fanfiction isn't it!!! It gives you the space to explore the characters and develop your own thoughts about them and their relationships and ugh. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me ❤️
