Crazy To Me How Tobio Could Practically Read Shoyo’s Thoughts Like It’s Nothing. They’ve Known

what i always admired about tobio is how despite the fear of being rejected by his team again, he still stuck with volleyball. during his grief, the rough time in middle school, and the challenges in high school, not once did tobio ever think to himself “i want to give up”. time and time again, he’s shown how much he loves volleyball and his passion to be the greatest setter ever. his determination is so inspiring and his character growth throughout the series is so beautiful. his desire to grow as a player influenced his growth as a person which i always thought was incredible. he’s an amazing character! <3

hinata shoyo you are so loved!!! this is beautiful

akaashi in ch333 is so relatable & inspiring to me because despite feeling inadequate, he takes the time to get himself together to play the game to HIS best abilities. he stops trying to ask himself what tobio would do and instead plays the game HIS way. akaashi is a very great setter who is capable of getting his team as far as they can. it’s just so nice to see someone who goes down this “but they do it better” spiral & get themselves out of it all on their own. he didn’t need anyone to comfort him. akaashi sat on the bench, allowed himself to think his feelings through, and was able to stand on the court again. he was able to go about his task as a setter like normal. i really admire that.

just a girl in her 20’s that would do anything for shimamitsu & kagehina figures. THEY LOOK SO CUTE!!!

i gaf...i care so much...i really do

All might onesies!

skip and loafer merch is always so comforting. they look so adorable & happy & warm. i’m always so happy to see mitsumi and shima together in official art. they’re so beautiful!!!!!

"he's better than hinata" doesn't mean shoyo is a bad player. it's been stated so many times from the beginning that shoyo was not at his best, he didn't have the training others did and compared to hoshiumi, shoyo WAS not the better player. HOWEVER, that does not mean that kageyama does not believe in shoyo. even though he saw someone who WAS better than shoyo, that didn’t mean tobio didn’t see his potential. in fact, it made him see that hinata could soar even higher with his help.

we all know hinata wasn’t at his peak during high school especially his first year, but kageyama saying hoshiumi was better wasn’t meant to be taken as kageyama being mean. it’s just a fact. despite that, kageyama still believed hinata can grow even more!

what made shoyo become the incredible player that he is was his determination. he had the DRIVE to become the best player he could be. it was a known fact shoyo was not at his 100% in high school and that is okay. tobio KNEW shoyo had so much more to give. the entire "you can fly even higher" scene is a testament to that. there are so MANY moments where tobio acknowledges shoyo’s skills. there’s even times where tobio is upset at shoyo because he has the ability to be amazing but just doesn’t know how to use his skills to his advantage.

just because tobio says hoshiumi is better than hinata does NOT mean tobio does not believe in him. the one thing that is constant in haikyuu is tobio’s faith in shoyo and shoyo’s faith in tobio.

this post explains exactly how i feel about skip and loafer. it changed my life 🫂

the amount of impact reading skip and loafer has had and how it has trickled throughout my life and the way i perceive myself/others. i started reading when i was freshly 17 and 2 years later i can genuinely see and map out the way it's influenced my perspective on life and how that's changed over time. i know it's really cheesy but i was so afraid of everything and a complete mess mentally back then. it was one of the first things that reminded me human connection/connection to myself is actually a wonderful thing worth trying to get better for. the amount of love and honesty infused into the way these characters are written is just so beautiful and i regularly go back to read that translation of the takamatsu interview because i love the way she describes her thought processes. i'm just incredibly grateful to have come across it when i did :-D.....thank u skipulofa for changing my life....

just finished watching dorohedoro the other day and omg it was amazing! at first i was very iffy about it because i was unsure if i would like it but when watching it i got hooked the first character that caught my eye was shin! and now he is one of my favorite i love him and if you have see dorohedoro you would know his partner noi who i absolutely adore her and shin mean the world to me when watching i grew extremely attached to them! shin’s mask is so cool i love it i love the heart design of it and most importantly he looks soooo good in it my man shin’s backstory and the way noi and shin met moved me i don’t care her healing his arms while knowing nothing about him and then when noi is training to become a devil they start to get closer and become friends before they’re partners then of course they get attacked and noi is about to get badly hurt and guess who saved the day shin! which ends in him being injured badly injured and it’s a favor return of when noi healed his arms and part of noi’s training is she can’t use her magic for a year and them getting attacked happens three days before she passes and makes it to a year but with shin being injured and her magic being able to heal him she uses it they both sacrifice something for each other their dynamic i love and then in episode eight in current time there’s a chance they may not be partners again and noi gets attacked and shin immediately realizes something is wrong it may have to do with the contracts but i like to be delusional and think otherwise and then after everything happens shin is nowhere to be found so noi goes out searching for him and he gets found of course and shin says he was looking for her everywhere and then they both were able to sign the contract so they are partners again and they looked so happy while doing it and then… “i suppose it’s our destiny to die here together” they move mountains they have deeply moved me i want them happy and together forever i don’t care if you see them platonically or romantically their bond does not compare to any others anyways enough shin and noi rambling but dorohedoro is genuinely amazing the plot is amazing and surprisingly none of the characters are unlikable to me they all have their moments but i feel in the end they’re all likeable and i feel you see a good amount of each character and you learn about them all and you don’t really see it in much media i do plan to read the manga because i cannot wait till season two to see more of it (shin and noi mostly) but if you haven’t seen dorohedoro i definitely recommend and if you have you’re amazing! i need more people to talk to about this though but i don’t have really any so that’s why you guys are getting me rambling! okay that’s all bye you may see more rambles from me who know i actually don’t think anyone cares tbh

“you can fly even higher” is better than any love confession ever written. kageyama believed in hinata’s potential & knew he was bound to become even better. he set the ball EVEN HIGHER because he knew HINATA WOULD BE THERE!! kags had faith in his partner & never doubted him. even when kenma was caging hinata in, kageyama didn’t let that change anything. if kageyama sets a toss, hinata will be right there. it’s a bond that didn’t take long to form but will last a lifetime. I LOVE KAGEHINA 😭😭
