Me After Watching The First Episode Of 2.43: People Don’t Usually Attempt Suicide In Volleyball

i have found another relationship to appreciate

these two big bros

i love love love to imagine how these two started to interact cuz theyre the older brothers in their family and toman. draken, chifuyu, baji, and kazutora all have the "only child syndrome", mikey is the middle child mess, we dont know anything about mucho's life and i think practically everyone ignores him and sanzu. so among the mess they found themselves in, these two created a tight bond no one ever expected.

their contrasting nature works: mitsuya with his polite way of talking, respects everyone unless they give him a reason not to, and generally is a friendly nice guy while smiley has a rough way with his language, disregards anyone who is not worth his time and once you peel back the layers is just as amiable as his twin. yet they share that responsibility of being the big brother, of taking care of their younger sibling/s. they get each other.

i imagine the day the kawata twins were introduced, nahoya and mitsuya locked eyes and nodded cuz they have that "older sibling" vibe to them that only the other one gets. they just went "i feel u, bro" and left mikey and draken to wonder wtf is going on.

they can also telepathically communicate!!! whenever one of them is having a rough time, the other acknowledges it and tries to destress them. nahoya catches mitsuya struggling to be strong and offers him a handkerchief, tells him its okay to cry it out. one day, mitsuya happens to stumble upon one of the kawata twins arguments and gently intervenes, explaining to souya that his brother just wants him to be safe and telling nahoya that he doesnt have to raise his voice and could also explain things in a soft voice because souya is not a three year old anymore.

i also would like to imagine these two eat together and just talk about the hilarious stuff their siblings have done or advice each other on how to get them to sleep quicker or what to give them for their birthdays.

"luna tricked mana into letting her cut her hair yesterday."

"seriously? man, shes got bal-"

"nahoya."

"confidence. shes got the confidence that every girl should have."

mitsuya sighs. "gods know what mom wouldve done to me if she saw half of mana's hair gone."

they just get along with each other and its a mystery to others. their bond became so close that they swore to take care of each others siblings in case something happens to them.

naturally, them being close also meant souya and luna and mana see each other very often. they get together every once in a while and although souya is older than luna and mana, the three of them are a pact and already have inside jokes. oh and hakkai's there too.

To any fic writers who worry they are wasting their time... I read a fic for a relatively small and inactive fandom about three years ago. And there was one specific scene where a character watched another dancing like an idiot to a beyonce song and it was so sweet and loving that even now years later I have that song on one of my spotify playlist so every once in a while it will play and remind me of that fic, and every time it does I smile and feel a little happier.

The stats on a fic will never really tell you if your writing touched someone. There's no numerical way to show you what impact you made. Maybe you are wasting time, or maybe you are writing something that someone will remember for a long time, something that will never fail to make them smile.

saw this on twitter rn, if you ever feel discouraged about writing fanfiction, read this again

yukiatsu is ... an interesting character ...

ITS 👏🏼 OKAY 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼 DUDES 👏🏼 TO 👏🏼 BE 👏🏼SOFT 👏🏼 AND 👏🏼 SQUISHY!

WE 👏🏼 DONT 👏🏼 ALL 👏🏼 LOOK 👏🏼 LIKE 👏🏼 STATUES 👏🏼 OF 👏🏼 GREEK 👏🏼 GODS 👏🏼

You are beautiful and perfect king the way you are!

no YOU are crying about the fact that mikey gave himself the foreign nickname so that emma would not be the only one

Hiding bakugo's hearing aid batteries whenever you're pissed off at him. "Oh, you don't wanna listen to me? thats fine listen to nothing then"

you ever look at japanese people, or korean or chinese and see them being so respectful & nice and be like, i want to be like that ... is it just me???

why tho???

literally dont get it cuz we never find out anything about mucho. just that he runs a division in toman which isnt under any guidance and regulation of mikey and apparently he had a close and perhaps intimate relationship with sanzu.

the other members also dont seem that close with him. we rarely see them mention mucho nor do we see much of him with them.

and yet, he's an important person to mikey for what??? what did he do??? how did he impact mikey so much to the point that he would consider mucho an important person to him?? i dont get it.

also he got killed off so fast. did we even get a backstory? i dont remember if we did.

my self esteem so low i dont even think im good enough for my favorite fictional characters
