Kageyama Tobio Being So Afraid That No One Will Ever Be There When He Tosses And Here Comes Hinata Shoyo

Shinazugawa Log by Kina

Never forget when a nerd from my high school when I was 17 and he was 16 or so said "women can't write shonen" and then two minutes later he said his favorite anime/manga was Fullmetal Alchemist. Never forget his face when my friend and I told him to check out who the author of that manga was. Never forget

atsumu remembering the very alive aran

just read chapter 40 of witch hat atelier and my initial reaction was, "what the hell just happened?" but after rereading it, i think i've come to better understand qifrey's motives.

before it happens, qifrey starts to talk about how happy he is teaching the girls magic. he's at peace in his atelier, living and taking care of the four girls alongside olruggio but he still hasn't let go of what happened in his youth. in fact, the peacefulness he feels every day has made his uneasiness worse. now it isn't only just him that could be hurt. it's his precious students and olruggio that he has to lose now. there's much more at stake than there was before.

so while he begins to confess the truth, he doesn't allow olruggio to keep his memories. qifrey's trauma still haunts him even at his happiest. for some people, they would leave the horrible things in the past to enjoy the good they have in the present. but for qifrey it's an impossible thing to do. it would be so much better to have at least ONE person to confide to and have support you, but qifrey doesn't allow it. it's completely irrational and bound to create problems in the future, but it shows how far qifrey is willing to go to achieve his goal. he CHOOSES to look for answers all on his own knowing the path will be difficult.

qifrey is someone the girls look up to; we see him as a cheerful guy who is someone we can count on. but this chapter showed us that he's still that child searching for answers. it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how much wiser or stronger he has become; he can never move on from his past until he stops the brimmed caps' plan.

i wish qifrey acted in some other way or allowed himself to lean on olruggio but it adds more to his character. he's complicated; he has his own agenda, yet his love for the people in his life is undeniable. he will stop at nothing to find answers but won't endanger his loved ones to get them. this chapter was so well done, and i'm excited to see where this takes the story!

Touya when he was still the BIG brother and Shoto hadn't caught up 2 him in height💗

these two will always be so special to me!!! love katsuki and izuku so much!! <3

431 is a mixed bag but i love that Bakugo is in tune with his emotions, he realized that Deku is a special person to him and can live with that, regardless of where they stand, whether Izuku reciprocates that committment. that's such a nice testament of Bakugo's growth :)

they are so in love!

kagehina | playing beach volleyball together for the first time

kagehina's interactions will always feel so special, even after all the time that they spent apart. their journeys will forever remain intertwined, and i wanted to pay tribute to their bond in a post time-skip setting. i took inspiration from the bonus chapter about kageyama, hinata, kindaichi, and kunimi playing beach volleyball, which was so moving. kageyama has come so far, i'm so proud of him </3

tobio’s feet sink into the warm sand, a pleasant morning breeze blowing through his t-shirt. it isn’t as hot as he thought it would be, but the sun is already high in the bright blue sky and he is grateful for the sunglasses shoyo lent him before they took their respective positions across the net, facing one another. shoyo knows the basics like the back of his hand: sunscreen, sunglasses, caps, bottles of water filled to the brim. he took care of everything.

“kageyama!” he calls from the other end of the court, enthusiastically waving his hand at tobio. “i’m ready!”

as he takes a few steps back, getting ready to serve, tobio twirls the ball in his hands, feeling its lighter weight, trying to get used to the way the slightly different fabric feels against his palms. he had hit thousands of serves, sent hundreds of tosses to a multitude of spikers, yet somehow this does not feel quite the same. perhaps because it’s shoyo he is playing against, and his eagerness to get good at something shoyo cares about is drilled into him like a habit he cannot unlearn.

in this moment, it doesn’t matter that tobio is a professional volleyball player, that he competed in the 2016 brazil olympic games, that he has been graciously called a young prodigy. all that matters to tobio now is whether or not the ball will land on hinata’s side of the court, right onto the spot his gaze is fixed on. he may be used to it, the feeling still wrenches his gut in a wave of excitement: he wants to play with shoyo, and he wants to win.

it takes tobio a few tries to get it right. the wind is not easy to forget about, since he has never had to take it into account before, but the way the sand curls around his ankles, slowing down his movements, is no less of a pain. he curses, growls at the sand, yells at the atmosphere.

shoyo laughs heartily and brags about finally being better at something than tobio, though he can see him regain control by the minute. he tells tobio his favourite saying, “the sand is kind.”

by the end of the first hour, tobio has adapted. a fast learner, he gets used to the beach as well as oikawa did, if not even quicker. his spikes get more precise, he controls his serves better. finally, he scores several points in a row, even if shoyo still won the first set.

“i’ll win this one.” tobio says, a familiar grin playing on his lips.

shoyo smiles back, his eyes narrowing at the sight of kageyama throwing the ball back into the air. “bring it on.”

yona of the dawn is an incredible series that does SO many tropes so well. there's fantasy, there's politics, there's iconic character development. it has one of the BEST slowburn romances along with one of the greatest found families i have ever read. yona, hak, shinah, kija, jaeha, zeno, and yoon beautifully written characters with their own dreams and personalities that make them come together to be the most beautiful group i have read. kusanagi created such a masterpiece, and i hope more people read it and fall in love with yona of the dawn!!!

getting more and more excited for the sakadays anime!!! the manga was such a fun read & i’m so happy with how they look!!! nagumo looks so cute with his big brown eyes and shin is so cool!! AND SAKAMOTO!!! just so so happy with this!
