Iwaizumi

One day when you were walking to the gym to go see your boyfriend

You overhear him and the team talking about some instagram girl

“She’s hot” you hear Boktuo yell doing a hoot as he fawns over a picture, with the rest of the guys agreeing.

“What do you think Iwaizumi?” Hinata ask

“She’s cute... I guess?” the rest of the guys, grunt in disagreement at Iwa’s lack of drooling over the girl.

“Well I see why you wouldn’t want her Haji-kun,” says Atsumu “you are into the more simple girls bro”

“Simple?” Iwaizumi questions, and the rest of the guys agree

“Yeah simple, you know Y/N... she’s simple” says one of the guys, with the word ‘simple’ rolling off their tounge with a tone of disgust.

“I guess your right guys...” Iwaizumi says “Y/N is pretty basic and simple but-”

You leave the gym before you hear what the rest of them had to say. When you got to your house you bolt straight to the mirror, you look at your outfit and frown. You never thought your style was ‘basic,’ to be fair you wouldn’t describe anybodys style as basic or simple. Of course, you weren’t like those instagram influencers, that wasn’t your thing. But Iwa has known that about you for years... but I guess that’s not what he truly likes.

You go to your closet and take out all the contents, just tossing all your clothes (even some of your favourite items ever) and dashing them in a black trash bag putting them to the side. You were already on a mission to buy a whole new wardrobe, going through all different stores and looking on pinterest for inspo.

You didn’t really talk to Iwa for the rest of the week, since you wanted him to see you in your ‘new form,’ you weren’t being radiosilent but you didn’t initiate any hang outs with him or face time calls (which he did find slightly odd, but didn’t think that much by it.)

Finally, the clothes came and you were kind of shocked at how much you ordered you spent over £200 on clothes from all different places. When you were trying them on, you liked some of them the ones that were kind of similar to your past style but not so ‘simple,’ the others you kind of frowned at since it definitely didn’t feel like ‘you’ at all. ‘This is for Iwa,’ you reminded yourself as your forced a smile on your face analysing yourself in the mirror.

You had everything sorted, your wardrobe was now changed and done the colours and styles you once wore before is now the complete opposite. You invited Iwa over, hesistantly waiting to see how would he react.

When you hear your door knock, you rush over to open it and model a pose you saw one of those girl do trying to look as natural as possible.

“Hey babe ho-” he says, with his eyes widening seeing your new look “Woah Y/N!”

“Hey Haji..come in!” you exclaim with a beaming smile pulling him inside to the couch. “So, are we going to continue watching the crown, I watched the previous episode and god prince phillip is such a dick.”

You look over your shoulder and see Iwa still standing in your entranceway a bit awkwardly, looking a bit stunned. “Come sit down then, we’ve got an episode to watch.”

“uh oh yeah, sure” he says blinking, following you to the couch.

You got through atleast 4 episodes together, you barely talked as you were really engrossed in the show. Iwa was barely paying attention, he was too busy questioning how you were acting. This definitely wasn’t the girl he knew, even the way you were acting whilst watch the show was odd. The way you’d cutely giggle and ‘sublty’ look over to him whilst laughing at a funny part of the show instead of just doing your usual obnoxious laugh that he loved to hear.

“Oh Y/N, I’m going to go to the bathroom.” he says standing up, you don’t reply you just wave your hand in acknowledgement.

On his way to the bathroom, Iwa nearly trips on a black bag left outside your bedroom door. He opens it, and mildly gasped when he saw all your old stuff jumbled up in there. He picks up the back and goes straight back to the living room and stands in front of you.

“Haji, what are you doing you’re blocking the TV” you complaining trying to see what’s happening behind him.

He drops the black bag infront of you and you internally curse yourself for not moving. You stare at him waiting for him to say something.

“Well whats this then.” he says looking down at you, almost like a disapproving dad.

“Clothes.” you say smartly, knowing what he was asking.

“You know what I meant Y/N, why are all your clothes in a garbage bag.”

“Because I wanted to put them there,” you wanted to seem as nochalant about it as possible as if putting all your clothes in a garbage bag doesn’t make you feel sad.

“Yeah but why?” he says sitting down next to you.

“Just because I wanted to” you reiterate “what else do you want me to say?”

“Well this isn’t like you, its just a bit random Y/N” he says

“I know this isnt like me you” you spat, standing up “Isn’t this what you wanted anyways.” You head to your bedroom picking up the bag with you, with Iwa hot on your heels.

“What do you mean this is what I wanted?” he says in disbelief “When did I ever say that?”

“It doesn’t matter” you mumble, you start to aggressively take our your old clothes and shove them back into your wardrobe whilst Iwa is just talking. You’re not really listening to him your just putting the clothes back.

“Y/N Stop!” he yells kind of knocking you out of your ‘trance,’ “what is going on with you?” he grabs you hands and pulls them down stopping you from what you were doing and he winced at seeing your tear stricken face.

He gently pulls you into his arms sitting you both on your bed, waiting for you to speak. “I don’t know what you want from me Iwa..” you start your voice slightly breaking “it’s just I did this all for you and you don’t even appreciate it.”

“I don’t know what you mean Y/N?” he says sounding genuinely confused.

“Y/N is simple and basic.” you say repeating words that you heard your boyfriend say about you, you feel him tense as you say it and you slowly get out of his hug.

“Y/N I-”

“That really hurt Hajime, I know now that I'm not your ‘type’ but I-”

“No Y/N, you are my type of course you are!” he says gulping in nervousness ��I love you, and your style. I’ve always being enamored by how you dress and present yourself and I don’t know why I even said you’re basic and simple I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Really?” you say sniffling looking down

“Yes really you idiot,” he says lifting your head up “To be fair I don’t care what you wear, since you look great in anthing I just want you to be happy Y/N and especially not dress for anyone including me. Okay?”

“Okay,” you agree slightly nodding your head.

“Good, so can we go and finish the crown and then burn all these clothes?” Iwa jokes as he stands up.

“Burn them!” you exclaim “These cost £200, you muppet.”

“£200! Gosh Y/N, next time you go shopping im definitely coming with you.” he says shaking his head “can’t have you blowing out your bank account for clothes you don’t even like that much.”

You spend the rest of the day finishing of The Crown and you and Iwa eventually both sort out your wardrobe. Your style and aethetic changes a lot more through the times you were together and Iwa was very supportive and helpful of every single change. Especially *insert your favourite dress aesthetic here.*

Matsukawa

You were walking with your friends; Iwa, Tooru, Maki and your boyfriend Matsun. Walking to school as you did every morning, today the topic of conversation was Tooru’s bad taste in women.

“Gosh yesterday was horrible, she didn’t want to talk to me at all,” he complained “all she wanted to do was to come straight to my place, I didn’t even have the chance to tell her my hair routine.”

“That’s why you don’t find dates off of Tinder shittykawa” grunted Iwaizumi

“Well I know that now!” he exclaimed.

“Y/N,” said Makki grasping your attention “Would you ever use Tinder?”

“Well I-”

“Of course she wouldn’t” your boyfriend interrupted wrapping his arm round your shoulder “she’s got me”

“Yeah, but if you two weren’t together, would you use it.”

“Well may-”

“Y/N definitely wouldn’t” he said interrupting you AGAIN “she’s way to frigid for that shit”

Frigid? You thought to yourself, ouch. Their was a quick awkward silence and all you could hear was Matsukawa laughing with the others laughing after awkwardly in pursuit. After sensing your uncomfortability (is that a word?) Oikawa decides to change the subject to make things less awkward,

“I need a woman who understands me!” he rants “One that can listen to me and appreciate my awesome hair.”

“Goodluck with that Shittykawa.”

Oikawa rambles on as you walk to school with the other guys chiming in. You on the other hand, were lost in thought. Your sex life wasn’t something you would want to publicly talk about let alone to you and your boyfriends' male friends. Also, with Matsun describing you as ‘frigid’ struck a nerve. You weren’t frigid, well at least to you, you weren’t.

When you got to school you immediately rushed straight to your lesson claiming that you teacher really needed to talk to you. Which was odd to Matsukawa as you usually all hung around each other until the bell rang, the other boys gave each other knowing looks all assuming the reasons for your odd behaviour.

At lunch time, you stayed in your class instead of going up to the roof where you and your friends usually end up. In the class room you hear one of the girls in your class, Empress having one of her usual gossip conversations with her group of friends.

“Hajime is so hot!” she said, fanning her face being dramatic

“Of course he is! You should totally go for him.” her friend said and the rest of the friends agreed.

“What do you think Y/N?” she says to you catching your attention “you’re close friends with him right?”

“Yeah, I am” you say a bit sadly “You should definitely go for him, I think you’d be perfect together.”

“Okay! I think I might later” she says smiling. Her and friends leave, but then Empress returns and walks straight to you.

“Are you alright doll?” she asks softly smiling

“I guess so..” you say hesitantly “It’s just something my boyfriend said to me this morning.”

“Matsun?” she asks and you nod in reply “What did he say?”

After you rehash the situation from this morning Empress scowls in annoyance, “Boys can be such pigs sometimes, such a dick thing to say.”

“I know right!” you respond “Even if I was frigid, which im totally not it’s not even a bad thing nor is it something to reveal to people in public in a ‘jokey’ way.”

“Yeah!” she agrees “I think you should go and give him a piece of your mind.”

“I mean...” your voice falters, when it comes to Matsun you’ve never really given him a ‘piece of your mind,’ even when he makes jokes that you’re not so fond of.

“Come on!” she encourages “I’ll come with you and cheer you on.”

“You just want to come to see Iwa Empress” you say pointedly “But fine let’s go.”

You both power walk to the roof where you see the four seijoh boys sitting down and eating. “Oh hi Y/N/-chan and look Iwa its Emp-chan... isn’t that a surprise!” Iwa blushes and the rest of the guys laugh.

You walk straight up to Matsun and stand right infront of him. “Matsukawa I need to talk to you,” you say folding your arms. “Why whats up babe?” he says, still sitting down with a cheeky grin on his face.

“Alone.” you say turning around walking to a secluded spot. Behind you, you hear Matsun get up and the rest of the boys saying “oooh Matsukawa your in trouble” as they laugh.

“What’s wrong with you today Y/N?” he asks slightly accusatorily.

“I didn’t appreciate the comment you made today on the way to school,” you say with your arms folded.

“Oh that little comment about you being frigid, come on it was just a joke I wasn’t being serious.” he says lightly laughing but he stops once he sees the glare you give him ”you knew it was a joke right?”

“Matsun, some are your jokes just aren’t funny,” you say “especially when they're about me and our sex life in front of our friends too.”

“Y/N I didn’t mea-”

“You just come off as a huge dick sometimes, and I can’t do this anymore if you keep on making these comments anymore I don’t think I can do this.”

“Woah Y/N, are you threatening to break up with me?” he asks “Over a few little comments?”

“These aren’t a few little comments, sometimes what you say is just unnecessary and rude.”

“Okay well...”

“Well...” you repeat staring at him waiting for to apologise or atleast say something, “fuck you Matsukawa.”

You storm away and walk bout to the group saying “Empress lets go.” She jumps of Iwa’s lap and waves by to them following you back down to the school. You walk into the bathroom and just start to cry, “Y/N whats wrong?” Empress says pulling you into a hug

“H-He doesn’t care,” you cry “He pretty much excused his stupid comments, passing them off as little ‘jokes,’ that didn’t apparently mean anything.”

“Oh dear,” Empress says consoling you “he’s not worth your time right now.”

“B-but but I love him.” you wail fat tears streaming down your face.

“I know sweetheart, I know,” she says letting go of the hug “so what do you wanna do about him?”

“I don’t know,” you say “I don’t want to break up with him or anything, but is there a point in staying if he’s just going to make these comments again.”

“I don’t know Y/N, but whatever you wanna do I’ll support. Wether it’s keying his car or reading shitty fanfiction and crying.” Empress says making you laugh.

The final bell rings and now it's time to go home, of course you don’t walk with the guys so you just enjoy your own company walking home.

“Y/N! Y/N!” you hear from behind you and of course the only person it can be is Matsukawa.

“What do you want?” you mumbled

“I..I want too” he says heaving out of breath from the running he had to do “I want to apologise. I need do.”

“Okay...” you respond

“Im sorry, Im so so sorry,” he says “those jokes and comments were stupid and I agree I can be a dick sometimes. Well a lot of the time, but I never wanted to be a dick to you.”

“Well you were.”

“I know I was, and I’m so sorry. There’s no excuse what I said and what I have said before I just hope I can make it up to you.”

“Okay then.”

“So are we not broken up?”

“No we’re not broken up, but it’ll take a lot of making up to do for me to fully forgive you.”

“Great! And I'll spend every day to get you to forgive me.”

Which he did, he spent every day showering you with love and affection. He was way better than he was before, you even went on double dates with Oikawa and his flavour of the week and triple dates with Iwa and his girlfriend. Matsukawa, although he still made jokes, he never targeted them and centered them around you in an insulting way.

AN: I didn’t really like the matsukawa one since i couldn’t really write for him properyl sooo sorry bout that one kids.

Haikyuu!! Event - 4/30 Fan Report

I got to attend the Haikyu Event: Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa on April 30. I decided to make this into a day trip so I went to Tokyo by bus and took the train to Maihama. The event was held in Maihama Amphitheater and I didn’t buy any goods this time.

This is the visual for the event!

Seiyuu Cast who Attended:

Karasuno: Murase Ayumu (Hinata), Ishikawa Kaito (Kageyama), Uchiyama Koki (Tsukishima), Saito Soma (Yamaguchi)

Shiratorizawa: Takeuchi Ryota (Ushijima), Kimura Subaru (Tendo), Toyonaga Toshiyuki (Shirabu), Tsuchiya Shinba (Goshiki)

Yes... I had to take a pic of my biases together. XD

The interesting thing about this event was that when you apply for tickets, you can apply for a Karasuno seat or a Shiratorizawa seat. From the audience’s point of view, half of the left side is all Karasuno seats and the right half is all Shiratorizawa seats. I had a Shiratorizawa seat.

The event started with a picture of chibi Shiratorizawa team talking followed by Karasuno. They basically say that we should cheer them on. It was nice to see the left side with a lot of orange penlights and the right side with a lot of purple penlights.

Then Burnout Syndrome came out and sang the third season opening: “Hikari Are.” Then they sang Fly High. I really love that song!! They were so cool!!!

After that, all of the seiyuu came out one by one in their respective team’s shirts (Karasuno wore bright orange and Shiratorizawa wore purple) that were sold at the venue. Karasuno seiyuu came out first. They were fairly normal. I remember Ishikai jumped when he came out. When Shiratorizawa came out, it was like bam! LOL Tosshi came out without glasses and did a pose with both his hands above his head, arms folded against one another (I believe this is Shirabu’s pose on the visual). He was wearing mustard yellow pants. When Subaru was coming out, he looked like he was about to come out but went past the entrance backstage. LOL

The order from left to right was Soma, Ucchi, Ishikai, Ayumu, Takeuchi, Subaru, Shinba and Tosshi.

Each of the seiyuu gave an introduction.

For Soma’s introduction, he went “Tsukki!!!” Of course… he did that. xD Then he did a call and response. (Call and response is very common in self introductions). He said, “When I say ‘Gomen ne (Sorry)!!’ please say, “Tsukki!” And we did it. xDDD

Ishikai stumbled over his introduction LOOOL. xD

Karasuno sorta “bullied” Shiratorizawa by mentioning that they won a lot (referring to the Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa match). All of the Shiratorizawa seiyuu started throwing a tantrum by stomping their feet and looking frustrated. Hahaha. XD

Subaru got shorts that came down to his knee and matched his T-shirt. Someone commented that he looked like a crayon. Subaru also did a call and response. I believe it’s his catchphrase. He said, “When I say this, say that!” He didn’t even say the lines because we should know it and we said something with “kokoro.”

For Shinba’s self intro, it’s apparently his first time ever attending an official seiyuu event! He’s so cute! He did a call and response and went, “Hajimemashite! (Nice to meet you!)” And we said it back. Someone commented that Shinba can only say that once because it’s his first event ever. XD (And saying “Nice to meet you” would be strange.) Shinba wore the complete Shiratorizawa jersey (jacket and pants) and said that he wears it to his recordings too. <333 How cute is that? XD

For Tosshi’s self intro, he said, “I am Shirabu Kenjiro.” LOOOL. XD Eventually he suddenly said, “When Ushijima (Takeuchi) says, “Right!” we turn right and when he says, “Left!” we turn left. LOL So Takeuchi started saying, “Right, left, front, and “wave” and the other Shiratorizawa members did it as if they were in the army with their backs straight and hands to their sides. XD This was when I thought, man… Shiratorizawa seiyuu are so crazy but so interesting and fun! They get along so well!

Then I think… it was this part but both teams chose a “leader.” Karasuno chose Ayumu and Shiratorizawa chose Takeuchi. They both went to the front and greeted us and put their hands in the air while saying their names and so on. Shiratorizawa had their hands over their hearts while this was happening.

Then they had us do the cheer that the fans do in the bleachers in the anime. Ishikai led the Karasuno side of the audience. Fans had to say, “Go go Karasuno, Push push Karasuno!” That side did a practice round and because Ishikai is a strict teacher, he went,” That was only 20 points,” and had them do it again XD Subaru led the Shiratorizawa side. (I couldn’t remember how the chant went for Shiratorizawa but eventually got the hang of it). Shiratorizawa fans go, “Shiii, ratorizawa!” And clap three times, then once, and then twice. XD It was really fun doing the chant.

After that, they left the stage for the staff members to set up the stage.

For the Haikyuu!! event, there were five sets, as if they were playing a volleyball match in the finals (think Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa match). The MC said that there will be a chance to make a comeback in the end, Someone went, “Is it really okay to say that already?” And another commented, “So even if we are in the lead, the opponent in the fifth set can suddenly make a comeback?” Basically implying that all their hard work from the first to the fourth seat won’t even make a difference. XD This is really common though. xD The winning team wins high-quality and expensive meat tickets (not exactly coupons…but you get what I mean)!

First Set: Best Scene

Each character had a best scene. The results were based on the fans votes for the best scene for each character. This was actually an online survey that fan could vote on. Then the seiyuu who voiced that character talks about it. 1st place gets 3 points for their team and the top 2 to 5 get 1 point for their team.

The MC announced the top five, from number five to number 1.

5. Ushijima scene where he goes, “Like Tendo always says, “Nottekita.”

4. Hinata scene where it looks like he grew a pair of wings.

3. Shirabu scene where he’s focused on giving his all for Ushijima.

2. Kageyama scene where he failed to get the ball and Tendo tried to provoke him but it didn’t work.

1. The obvious number 1 was, of course, the Tsukki scene where he yells. During this scene, Soma screamed, “Tsukki!!!!” It was super adorable. XD

The MC asked the seiyuu/characters that weren’t in the top five about their thoughts. Shinba was so cute when he said, “Oh, I was shocked that I wasn’t up there…” He said it all genuinely and like a kicked puppy, all disappointed. Asldk XD Ishikai said Tendo was basically in every best scene shown and had the most lines in there too! At one point, he imitated Tendo’s moves. Subaru also talked about how he was a test recording or something (they kept saying test.. not sure what that means) and he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to sing his signature little song with heart breaking in the lyrics. He had read the manga and everything but he wasn’t given any direction as to how to do it. Apparently the director just left the song up to him. He could do it however he wanted. And this was how it ended up. Subaru wondered if how he did the song fit the character and we clapped (meaning it really did!).

At this point, Karasuno was in the lead, 5-2.

Second Set: Ball Control

Each team chooses one member to represent them. That person has to hold 4 volleyballs (the balls are HUGE) first and the other members add a ball and hold all of them for five seconds (the au before another ball is added. If the person drops the ball, then it’s over. The person gets the number of points equal to the number of balls he manages to hold.

Karasuno went up first and Ishikai got chosen. Ishikai only got to a total of 6 or 7 before a ball slipped from his arms. Ayumu apologized to him saying it was his fault. When he placed an additional ball, that was when Ishikai dropped the balls.

Shiratorizawa team took off their jackets to prove that they were serious about winning. Takeuchi was chosen for Shiratorizawa and he suddenly laid down!!! Karasuno went, “Wait, is that even allowed??” And the MC said it was okay as long as the balls don’t touch the ground. Takeuchi managed to get to a total of 12 balls!!! It was really amusing seeing the balls on his body.

Someone suggested that Ishikai do it again except laying down this time and the MC said that was fine but he would get no points for doing it. Ishikai reluctantly did it and held 15!! Ishikai said that he couldn’t even keep track of how many balls were being placed on him and Takeuchi said that once they put a ball on your face, then all is lost (like you can’t think anymore). XD

Third Set: Quiz

They show a scene and then ask a question relating to the scene. Karasuno and Shiratorizawa has to write down the answer on the sketchbook provided. Both teams were given one sketchbook so each team had to work together to come up with an answer. Let me tell you, Shiratorizawa team was overall very interesting to watch. XDD

1. What is the kanji for Reon?

This question took a lot of time for both teams to answer. xD Shiratorizawa tried to cheat by asking the audience and looking over at Karasuno’s table… Karasuno tried to do the same thing too. XD At one point, Tosshi tried peeking and a few fans pointed him out. Then Tosshi said, “ You’re not supposed to rat me out! Because I’m supposed to be plain and not noticeable (reference to Shirabu’s character where he doesn’t stand out).

Both teams ended up getting the answer right.

2. What did Kiyoko say after Suga exclaimed, “Wait until we marry!” when she held Suga’s hands to calm him down.

Both teams tried peeking again. XDDD

When they both revealed their answers, they were both VERY similar except Shiratorizawa team added in “because.” Ishikai said he has confidence because he loves Kiyoko and that’s why he remembers what she said. XD

Answer: “No thank you. I don’t plan on getting married with you.” Although both of their answers weren’t written exactly as said, a point was given to Karasuno for giving the closest answer. XD

3. What did Semi (Terashii) say after Tendo sing-songed weirdly?

Karasuno wrote, “Crow field.” I kid you not; Crow field was written in English props to Ayumu. XD Ayumu explained the answer as “Karasuno.”

Subaru saved the day. He wrote, “Block,” which was the correct answer. XD

4. What did Yamaguchi say to Tsukki which got him mad?

Answer: “Don’t lose to Hinata!”

Both teams got it right. I was really surprised because Shiratorizawa wrote down the answer pretty fast.

5. What is Reon and Semi eating in the cafeteria scene?

The food that they were eating was covered with a white fuzzy spots. But a slight hint was given because there was a salad on Semi’s plate and a huge bowl or rice on Reon’s plate. It was actually a difficult question. The MC gave them a hint, saying that the food on their plates were both different and Reon was eating something high in calories.

Ishikai was drawing the answer to the question. His fellow members went, “What’s that!?” and laughing uncontrollably. At one point, Ishikai stomped off the stage out of anger and then came back after the Karasuno members told him to come back. Ishikai put the blame on Soma. XD At another point, Ucchi tried peeking at Shiratorizawa’s answer and Subaru blocked his view. XD And when Ucchi went back and looked at Ishikai’s drawing, he went, “Wait, what happened!? What’s this?” Hahaha. XDDD

Ishikai finally showed his drawing. The drawing of their guess for Semi was a bit weird. Hahaha but it was a drawing of curry and rice. XDD They guessed that Reon was eating fried fish or something. Then Ayumu showed us Ishikai’s first original drawing and said that he improved greatly. When we looked at the first drawing, we were like, “Oh my god… what’s that??” And Ishikai got really embarrassed and sat under the super small table they were using, all huddled up with his knees up against his chest and looking sad. XDDD Dawww

Shiratorizawa answered with “Semi” (actually I’m not sure why that was the answer) and oil (because the MC said it was something high in calories). XDDD

Answer: Curry and karaage (chicken)

1 point went to Karasuno.

For one of the questions, someone on the Shiratorizawa team started to do the fan chant and had us (Shiratorizawa side) join in. Then there was a Shiratorizawa fans vs Karasuno fans chant face-off. XDDD

For one of the questions (don’t remember which one), Subaru tried acting confident that he knew the answer. The other seiyuu noticed that he was sweating a LOT and Soma kindly went to grab a towel, and gently wiped the sweat off Subaru’s face. And Subaru said, “KYUN <333333” (sfx for heart skipping a beat) A member of Karasuno went, “What’s with this lovey dovey atmosphere!?” LOOOL X

I believe they did a time-out after the third set so the seiyuu went off the stage while the MC gave us announcements. When the seiyuu came back, Shiratorizawa was acting all serious, cool and mature. XDDDD LOOOL And the Karasuno team said something like, “Wait, what happened? Isn’t that a totally different attitude than before??”

Fourth Set: Gesture Game (Charades)

Each team chooses a representative. That person has to do gestures and make his teammates guess the word. The person has to do as many in one minute and only can say “pass” twice.

Ayumu was chosen for the Karasuno team. When Ishikai said it can only be Ayumu, he started imitated how Ayumu danced and moved his body, showing that he was the best one for doing the gestures.

I don’t remember all that he did but he did radio calisthenics (exercises), rolling thunder (Noya’s move!!), serve, monkey (a few members said “baka” (idiot) at first LOL) and the last one was “Oikawa Toru.” LOOOL Many fangirls screamed when they saw the name. Ayumu tried to do Oikawa’s signature serve and failed but none of his teammates could guess the answer and then time was up. When the answer was revealed, Ishikai… well more like “Kageyama” got “angry” and went something along of the lines of, “That’s supposed to be Oikawa!?” Then they had Ayumu repeatedly do “Oikawa.” Hahaha he tried to do the serve but it was just really cute to me. XDDD The Karasuno members told Ayumu, “Good job.” I also remember Soma was really good at guessing the answers! I was really surprised!

For Shiratorizawa, Shinba was chosen! He showed us a wonderful one-handed cartwheel! He was asked to do it again and he did it! He was so amazing!!! XD He did, brushing your teeth, receive, passed on Reon, tried to do “guess attack,” and passed on that one too. For the last one before time was up, he did “Synchro Attack!” Shiratorizawa team knew what he was doing but couldn’t remember the word for the special move. XDD

At this point, Shiratorizawa was in the lead, 24-22. It was a really close match!

Last Set: Collaboration with an Enormous Ball (I don’t even know how to translate this one to sound natural. LOL)

The audience has a chance to participate in this set! It’s up to the audience and the winner gets 50 points! XD The staff brought out two HUGE orange balloons and two HUGE pink balloons. XD Shiratorizawa commented, “Wait, is this supposed to be purple!?” when they were handed the pink balloons XDD LOOOL Anyway, the teams will pass the balloons to the audience and the audience has to move the balloons all the way to the back and then back to the front. Just imagine a rectangular U shape. The winner is determined when ONE of the balloons goes back on the stage.

You know how half of the venue was supposed to be Karasuno fans and the other half was supposed to be Shiratorizawa fans? Well actually part of the section of the back was full of Karasuno fans. XDDD Subaru pointed it out and jokingly said, “Since they’re rooting for Karasuno, they might try to pop the balloon!” Then Ishikai kindly said to that section, “Please help them,” and was all nice about it. He had this really nice pleading voice. XDDD Those fans were very kind and even changed their penlights from orange to purple!

It was overall pretty exciting although I didn’t have a chance to touch the balloon. xD And Shiratorizawa won! Actually both of the balloons got back to the stage while the orange balloons didn’t even go halfway up. It stayed around the front. XD

So that meant the ultimate winner was Shiratorizawa!!! :3 Shiratorizawa team had us do the Shiratorizawa fan chant and even the Karasuno side joined! LOL

For the awarding ceremony, they chose the MVP of the day! And Ishikai was chosen!! A member of Burnout Syndrome handed him a trophy. (Ishikai balancing the volleyballs part was seriously hilarious XD) Another member gave the trophy to Takeuchi, representative of Shiratorizawa team and Shinba accepted the high-end meat prize! XD

Then all the seiyuu gave their closing comments.

Subaru started “crying” and saying that he was proud of Shinba. XDDD

Takeuchi had green/blue hair and one of them said that he should explain to the audience why it’s that color. So Takeuchi explained that before, he dyed it pink and he actually wanted to dye it to purple for the event, so he went for blue hair dye, thinking that if you mix blue and pink together, you would get purple… but actually his hair just turned blue! LOOOL. XD

Ishikai and Ayumu said that it was fun doing this kind of event and it was their first time doing something like this: one team vs another team. XD

Ayumu requested us to yell out, “Otsukaresama (Good work!!!) and we did so and streamers shot out.

As they were leaving the stage, both teams high-fived each other as they passed by one another and said goodbye.

Overall, this was a wonderful 2.5 hour event!!! I managed to catch the last Shinkansen that would take me back and get to the last train going to my area although I was exhausted over work the next day! XD

It was my first time seeing Ucchi, Soma, Ishikai, Subaru, Takeuchi, and Shinba… now that I think about it, that’s like most of the cast! LOOOL

Ucchi seemed pretty laid-back and chill about everything but that doesn’t mean he’s super quiet either. XD

Soma was just adorableeee going “Tsukki! Tsukki!” all the time. LOOOL XD And he blew me away with guessing during the gestures game.

I had this image of Subaru being all cool and everything… appearance-wise but he’s really the mood-maker!! He was really funny and livened up the atmosphere. He’s a bit of a goofball. XD

I feel that Ishikai was the one that people liked to tease… what with the balancing balls and drawing incidents. XDDD

Takeuchi was very cool and seemed respected by everyone but I think he knows how to have a good time as well. XD

Shinba was just cuuuuute. He’s like a cinnamon roll and his voice is really nice too. XD

Ayumu never fails to make me think he’s so freaking adorableeee. His gestures were freaking cute especially when he was doing “Oikawa Toru” XD

Tosshi… he said that he was Shirabu Kenjiro again. XD And I can’t help but notice that’s considerably shorter than the others. XDDD But that’s what makes him cute. And he’s not the type to be teased either. XD I felt like he was like a senpai towards the others.. well he is! XD And he was part of what made Shiratorizawa team fun. XDDD

It was just so interesting seeing Shiratorizawa team interactions and Karasuno team interactions. It’s like the Shiratorizawa team is more childish although Karasuno team has younger members. LOLOLOL XD Karasuno was pretty much calm but I can tell they have a good relationship with each other. XD

It was super fun especially doing the actual fan chants!! XD I hope that there will be another event like this in the future! Thanks for reading!! Until next time! :3

Miles (Unfinished)

So I had started writing a story a while ago, it’s not finished and it won’t ever be finished. To be fair, it’s too hard for me to finish because it’s based on a true story and about someone I know. So I can’t really find a fitting ending, I can’t fill in the gaps and I can’t just write it any more. So here it is, in it’s unfinished glory. There are some notes on what would have gone in the gaps, but nothing too detailed.

It’s not much, but I haven’t put up my writing in a long time.

Miles.

A Story by Rahman Khan

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

This is the story of how two souls are connected despite the fact they are thousands of miles apart from each other. People tend to make fun out of the fact that someone can develop feelings for someone else over the internet. Making jokes that the other person is just a fat man living in his parent’s basement looking for some young to have his way with.

What most people don’t realise is that they’ll make fun of something they have never had the pleasure of experiencing themselves.

I am one of the two souls. Through some sort of strange twist of fate and irony the one place that two souls seems to have connected was on the internet.

I’ve always liked the idea of friends. It just so happened that I hated my friends.

Growing up, I had very few friends. My best friend was murdered. My girlfriend killed herself. I never really got close to anyone after that, I just didn’t want to get hurt from all the pain. Friends for me…were people who I just had acquaintances with, nothing too personal, just keeping it casual, meet for a drink, or just talk online when we’re bored. Nothing too stressful.

I didn’t really have much of a family either. The only time I see or talk to my family is when we have dinner. My father’s disappointment in me, my mother’s lack of respect pushed me away.

It was through all this that I lost myself to my own depression; I fell into a void of unhappiness and dug a hole for myself. For years I stayed to myself, the two people I had cared about died; my best friend was murdered and my girlfriend died in a car crash. I tried my best to compensate from my sins, but I couldn’t help but realise that I just hate myself for everything that I’ve done, I can’t forgive myself for those things. I shut myself away from the world, I stayed in my room and only left to go to my lessons at school and then again at university, I could hardly make any friends. I was introverted and I didn’t want to change in the danger of actually hurting someone else. So I stayed to myself. But it’s not like I didn’t make friends, I had people I would talk to in the school and university; people to pass time with, but outside of those places, I was alone.

My time at university wasn’t the typical UK university experience. I never had a Freshers Week, I never had those late nights with roommates, late night cramming sessions and hung over mornings. I was alone in my room, watching movies, downloading TV shows, doing my work, hitting those dead lines early; the boring student.

My life has always been secluded. But not to the point where I’d be Boo Radley and not interact with anyone or anything; I went to school, university, all that, I made friends and went to parties. But something was missing; maybe it was love, maybe it was a family member I never had, maybe it was just having an actual friend that I could talk to.

I always had trouble talking to anyone on a more open level. I never explained my sadness, never explained why I was angry, or just didn’t feel like talking to anyone. I’m not sure what it was, I just felt like there was no one around me in this city that I could feel connected to. My days were spent listening to music alone in my room, I would listen to all kinds of music from all sorts of artists; Japanese artists like The GazettE, Dir en Grey, High and Mighty Color; I only knew a handful of Japanese, but something about the voices in these songs managed to calm me down at times when I needed them. They represented a life I could never have, somewhere far away on the other side of the world, far from my family, far from whatever the people I hang around with are, far from my past. French rap managed to capture my soul in a way I could never explain in words to anyone; the beats, the bass, the artists rapping away, it felt…surreal to know that this music connects me to them. Bands like Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, Mogwai…their unique way to portray music managed to express feeling I could never express. I don’t know, music is just a way for people to escape their own troubles; lyrics guide us on a path to a sense of strange enlightenment.

One Sunday morning, I decided that I was going to leave the house and just for a walk around the city. I take a long, warm shower, I rest my arms against the cold marble walls; the feeling of the cool, tingling marble battled the feeling of warm water falling from the showerhead onto my skin. Music runs through my head. I usually think of nothing in the shower, there’s nothing really to think about, is there? Most of the time you just jump in, clean yourself, jump out. Simple. Why complicate something so simple. I think it’s why I love taking a shower; it’s one of those cocoons that I can crawl into and think of absolutely nothing. My life doesn’t matter in there; all I need to concentrate on is getting every nook and cranny and being as clean as possible.

I decide I want to take the train and go somewhere where I know I won’t run into anyone. I take the underground into the city and head to the park; most of my friends live on the far edges of the city, so I know I won’t see them. I don’t want to see them. I just want to be able to walk around a huge, open space and know that I’m alive. I want the cold air to hit my face, make the blood rush to my cheeks, brightening them up red. In winter, my nose always lights up like Rudolf, you can always tell I’m cold if my nose is bright red once I’m inside. But I love the winter. I love everything about it. I love the first touch of snow to the ground, it’s softer than a leaf falling in autumn, I love watching grey clouds cover the blue sky, hiding away the beauty. It reminds that something if something so sinister can hide something so beautiful, then there must be some kind of hope. Something waiting beyond all the mess and the pain.

Eventually, I manage to get to the park, and it’s empty. There’s no one around as far as my eyes can see. Snow fell the night before and it’s been blanketed across the fields. There are no footsteps, no car tracks; leaves have fallen softly onto the ground. I step into a virgin patch of snow; it feel comforting to know I’m leaving a mark on this world, even it’s temporary, I’ll know I’m the reason it’s there.

I take out my camera and I begin to take pictures. I only just bought this a few months ago and decided to start using it. I’ve always been interested in photography. I’ve gone through shit in my life that I’ll never talk about, seen stuff I’ll never describe, done things I wish I hadn’t, I don’t talk about my problems, I never will. But when I’m behind that viewfinder, with nothing but what’s in front of me, the sounds of the world around me, or sometimes the tunes of my headphones, I’m no longer part of the world that makes me what to kill myself, no longer part of the world that makes me regret waking up in the morning, I feel different, I’m free. I feel the safest I have ever felt behind that viewfinder, because I’m surrounded by the edges of what I see, not what’s behind me, or to the side, just what’s ahead. It doesn’t matter if the picture doesn’t come out good, or if it’s blurred or over exposed, just the fact that I can sit there, safely and snap away…liberates me in a way in more ways than I can describe.

Photography is my way out of my shitty world and allows me to remember that maybe there is a God, and that there is a world out there, even if my hate blinds me from it sometimes. I don’t think I’ll understand the power of this new art form, but I know I love it.

One day, I found a website; I started a blog and started to share my photography. I wanted to post everything I snap away and just put it out there for people to see. I wanted to let people know if even if they’re feeling like a piece of shit, even if they’re feeling like they want to die, there’s always going to be something out there for them. I thought maybe my photography can help them realise that there is more to life than just waiting around for something to take us away. I don’t know, for the first time in my life, I felt like I had a purpose. But I still felt like I was missing something.

>> BLOGGING <<

It just so happened, one day through this blog, someone messaged me. I checked out her page and she seemed like a cool person, so I started to follow her. We indirectly spoke through our blogs, reblogging stuff liked from each other, liking and commenting on posts. This eventually led to us adding eachother on an instant messenger and we instantly became friends.

Her: Hi!

Me: Hey hey

Her: How are u?

Me: I’m doing good, how are you?

Her: im fine (:

…

We had those awkward silences that aren’t really silences since it’s online, but you knew If this was a conversation in person it’d just be way too awkward to continue.

Her: So what u upto?

Me: Oh, sorry, nothing much, I was playing a game

Her: wat game?

Me: Some zombie game, haha, I felt like shooting some shit up.

Her: I used to play by Nintendo all the time. did u ever play Zelda?

Me: FUCK YES. That was the shit

Her: OMG I KNO RIGHT

Me: I was a Street Fighter kid too

Her: AKUMA!

Me: RYU!

Her: Haha OMG did u ever play cloud?

Me: Cloud? Do you mean Final Fantasy 7? Lol

Her: LOOOL did I just say cloud?

Her: YES! FINAL FANTASY

Me: I’m pretty sure I want to marry you now.

We hit it off instantly. She was perfect. We had so much in common it was uncanny. We loved and played the same games as kids. We both watched the same TV shows. We both had the same interests in fashion. We loved the same movies and had an undying love for classical Hollywood. She was perfect. Despite the fact she lived half way around the world.

We would talk for hours on end on endless shit no one probably would give a crap about; but it was our friendship, this was us.

Her: <3 ive missed you.

Me: not as much as I have, I kept thinking about you all day! haha

Her: how was ur day?

Me: it was alright, i had to do the shopping, driving is a pain when it rains over here o.O

Her: aw, u hate driving?

Me: Ehh, its ok. i dont see the whole excitement about it…its like youre driving a large go-kart that can kill you.

Her: LOL

Her: i like driving, but not in the city. I like driving out by the country

Me: I’ve never been outside of the city for more than a few hours. I’ve always been the passenger on trips.

Her: u need to try it and just drive

Me: Maybe.

It doesn’t seem like much, but every conversation we have just means something. It gives me the snippets of her life that I couldn’t see in the people I met in person. She learnt more about me than anyone else I knew in person. She had a special place in my heart, even though I never knew her in person. My loneliness disappeared whenever I got the chance to speak to her.

Whenever I took a walk, read a book, listened to music, watched a movie, I always imagined she’d be doing the same. Whenever I would picture Her in my mind, she’d be alone for some reason, with no one around her. A sense of loneliness always befell her in my cruel mind. A sense of loneliness only I could repair. I wanted to be there for her, I wanted to be the one to call her on the phone, or to send her a text message to brighten her day. Knowing I wasn’t there to be with her in person hurt me to the point where I’d just feel sad, as if I’ve lost a friend I’ve grown up with. It’s embarrassing to even admit that to friends, it’d be weird for me to tell them I’m close to a girl I’ve met online. Most of the time it’s ridiculed that you can’t even make friends in person, so you need to retreat behind a screen. Which really isn’t the case, I have friends in person; people I hang out with on a daily basis. But it’s with Her that I managed to actually connect to someone on a level beyond the “How’s u?” “Fine” “…” and then nothing. With Her, I felt like I was a real person, with interests that not only excited me, but her as well.

One night, I have dinner with a friend, she goes on and on about her mundane life, how she’s stressing over an exam, or how she’s scared of looking for a job, that her cat needs surgery. In the back of my head, I’m just thinking “what is She doing? It must be like 12pm there, she’s probably just getting up right now, brushing her teeth, maybe having breakfast, getting ready to go to her lessons…” It was unhealthy how my thoughts of this one girl I’ve never met, and probably will never meet clouded my mind.

Me: Hey

Her: hi!

Me: wassup?

Her: nm

This was the first time she didn’t really talk.

Me: Are you ok?

Her: im fine

Me: Are you sure?

Her: yep

Me: No you’re not.

Her: How do you know?

Me: Because you’re not talking away like a soap opera

Her: LOL

Me: What’s wrong?

Her: I’m just stressed. I’ve got too much going on right now

Me: Do you want to talk about tit?

Me: NOT TIT. IT*

Her: LOLOLOL

Me: …yeah, so wanna talk?

Her: Well..

We spoke for hours on her life. How she is stressed at her university, how life at home is hectic, how stuff with her boyfriend isn’t going so well; I knew she was in pain, and it ached me in a way that I’ve never felt before when I knew I could do nothing but type away things that I hoped would help her. I just wanted to jump through the screen and hold her, I wanted to be her best friend. In the back of my head, for one reason or another, she felt like the one thing that was missing in my life, maybe she was the 1 in 6 billion, maybe she was the perfect girl for me. But I had no chance; all I could do was to be there for her right now.

Whenever she spoke about her boyfriend, I felt jealous, and I felt angry that he wasn’t treating her right. I wanted to be that person. I wanted to be the one she loved.

I told her to get some sleep. I had stayed up all night with her; it was around 11pm for her, and morning for me, I told her to try to sleep and I’ll talk to her the next day.

Her: thank you <3

Me: It’s alright.

Her: Can I tell you something?

Me: You can tell me anything.

Her: I’m glad i met you, im glad we’re friends. you’ve brought this positive energy into my life that i needed and im glad its you. Thank you so much

That morning, I didn’t sleep, I just stayed up, hoping she was OK.

>>> GIRLS STORY HERE <<<

My life outside of my internet life was seemingly normal. I was still dealing with my past.

I graduated university with a typical 2:1 degree, I was then thrown out into the grown up world. A world no one warned me about. A world where I had no preparation, and wasn’t ready to face. I was just another 20 year old something with a CV who didn’t know what he wanted to be. Originality was scarce. I felt like I just wanted to tell someone I was scared. I wanted tell someone I wasn’t ready for all this responsibility and that I just wanted to keep living young. I never knew getting pushed out onto your own two feet was going to be this hard. People said shit won’t be easy, but they never told me it’d be this hard. I told a couple of my friends, but they seemed busy with their own problems, so I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

I managed to get a job, I started working 40 hour weeks, updating my blog seemed like a chore, but I still did it, after getting over 1,000 followers, you seem to feel like you have some sort of obligation to keep posting, since so many people want to see what you do. I refrained from answering anymore messages and only really kept in contact with people I seemed to have spoken to before. I even had a girlfriend. Somehow, using the internet and talking to Her; helped me get out of this unsociable shell I was in, and it felt good. It felt good knowing I wasn’t entirely alone in the world.

But this girlfriend of mine, every time I saw her, all I could think of is you’re not her. She wasn’t her her. I wanted her. The perfect girl. Sure, she had imperfections and sure she had her problems, but that’s what made her who she is. I wanted to be a part of that and I wanted to be in her life. I had never met this girl in my life and I fell in love with who is she and I wanted her.

And then one day…nothing. I never heard from her again. Her blog page was gone, she never came back online, we never spoke again. It was as if she disappeared into thin air, or maybe that she never existed.

It felt like a stab in something that I had never felt before, knowing that befriending someone I never met could affect me in such a way was an eye opener for me. Human loneliness can stretch for miles and connect with someone so far away, that the only way to keep them close is to hold them in your heart. But it hurts that much more when you find out they never did the same for you. But she left something. There’s something inside of me now, ever since I met her; she put a fire inside of me. She’s put that little ounce of hope that I never knew existed inside of me.

I had written her a letter in my journal, something I want to give her but now I can’t. Words I’ve wanted to say to her but too afraid to. I wanted to tell her she made me happier than what I thought was possible. That I want to be in her life and that I considered her my best friend and that even though we had never met, I still miss her more than anyone. I told her that I would never leave her and in a way, I haven’t. I just hope she never forgets that.
