Every time I watch the Haikyuu stage play I always laugh at the ridiculous amounts of pushing around and generally fighting like toddlers the Karasuno members do. Then I watch the show. Within one episode you get either Hinata or Noya thrown around like a messed up game of catch, Kageyama beating up Hinata in creative new ways, and several creative death threats floating around (either at outsiders or at each other -- Tsukishima I'm looking at you ya salty crow). I swear to the fucking gods I love my fucked up baby birds. Squawking and fighting and all.
I think if Ally Beardsley and Taliesin Jaffe ever existed in a room together the world would fold in on itself with the sheer amount of collective raw eldritch and queer energy that their fleshy human facades contain.
We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.
*Nishiura calls time*
Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright
*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*
Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???
*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*
Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something....?
Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???
*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*
Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?
*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*
Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius
Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??
Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long
tl;dr:
Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy -- they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!
*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.
Hot shot team: What in tarnation....
*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess
Hot shot team: ....we lost to this?
While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!
Hiro: Guys, in case you've already forgotten, Robert Callaghan is the worst. And I'd say that to his face.
Callaghan: I need your help.
Hiro: You're the worst.
*Matt returns* Voltron Fandom: Holy shit our meme son is back safe and sound!! He's gotten so much hotter! I love him so much. *Shatt shippers arise from their graveyards and drink from the new content so that they may be stronger* One person muttering under their breath: Langst where Lance feels like he's going to be replaced by Matt. *Entire Voltron Fandom perks up*: Langst? Langst! LanGST?!?! *Entire Voltron Fandom chanting louder and louder*: LANGST! LANGST!! LANGST!! *Shatt shippers cry because people are demonising their meme son in order to emotionally destroy the best blue boy*
Okay, here's my pretty terrible drawing for my series From the Valleys to the Heavens which can be found on FF. It doesn't really look like them at all, but from left to right it's Sting, Lucy/Tia and then Ryos (Rogue).
Check out my story if you like FT stories with OCs/Self-inserts.
My favourite thing about watching BNHA is seeing the all-round brilliant art style, with its appealing colours and smooth, expressive animation. And then suddenly shifting to scenes with Todoroki, in which every fucking movement is an ode to Angels, the colours are bolder and every particle of ice looks ten times better than anything Frozen could've done. His expressions can be broken down into frame-by-frame minute changes, with his fire looking like every animators wet dream. It's like someone higher up has a VERY apparent thing for Todoroki, and ensured. all of the animation budget was used to make sure Todoroki looked glorious no matter what. It worked.
no no im not crying *frantically wipes tears away*
