udai just itches at my brain because you hear about him from saeko and you're like oh he's just like hinata! and then you meet him and you're like hmm maybe takeru? but you watch him again and go no, it's asahi and they're all wrong even though the responsibility that weighs on his shoulders is all asahi and the bitter curse of obscurity despite his efforts is takeru and the hunger that once almost ate him alive is so hinata and the part of him that still itches for volleyball but is manageable is reminiscent of noya and i just want to crawl inside his brain a little. Like, when did he decide/realize that volleyball wasn't it for him? What made him want to be a mangaka? Big enough to bring life a whole generation of monsters, small enough to never be considered for youth nationals, but there's a whole rainbow to be shaded in between those two lines. His name destines him to the skies and beyond and here he is shackled and someone that hungers for volleyball the way he does, do you think it hurts him to starve himself.

ofc this entire little thought journey is very much so on the precipice of turning him into something a little beyond human and since the narrative demands that you don't, that you understand he's just some guy, let's take a step back. Udai tenma, (volleyball monster, of the heavens and of the sky) goes to the interhigh game alone. Now, we know that volleyball monsters are cursed to loneliness at some point due usually to their monsterousness. So, does Udai at this point in his life, as removed from volleyball as he now is, have close friends or is he still lonely? Let's discuss

My head hurts so I'm calling it a pause for the night so I may rest but I think it's because the work skin has margins set to auto? I'm not sure the best way to fix it but I'll look into it eventually

August 21st is Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day  💕

Let’s be honest - we all forget to leave a comment sometimes. We don’t always go out of our way to click the “come talk to me on tumblr” link on AO3 to scream about the fic in the author’s inbox. On August 21st I encourage you to take a moment and show fanfic writers that you appreciate them!

How can you do it?

leave a comment and kudos on every fic you finish reading. Doesn’t matter how short. Doesn’t matter if you’re just repeating what other people have already said. Just be kind! Keysmashing, Caps Lock, and live commenting appreciated! (Bonus points if you leave a comment on every chapter)

ideas for what to put in a comment: one | two | three | four

floaty review box for ao3 (super useful for commenting as you read + it has a ‘review tips’ button if you feel stuck)

reblog ficlets, drabbles, fics, fic rec posts, etc. Put a nice comment in the tags. Remember that likes, while appreciated, don’t give the writer any exposure, meaning the posts don’t reach more people

go to your local fanfic writer’s inbox and talk to them about their fic of your choice. Let them know how long ago you’ve read it and what story point/sentence/scene still makes you smile when you think about it

send thank you messages to fic writers. In a world where you have to pay for almost everything, they’re supplying you with countless hours of free entertainment. It can get quite lonely without getting messages acknowledging the hours they spend writing stories - let them know their time and effort is appreciated

make fic rec posts and @ the authors whose fics you’re recommending! (believe me, fic writers love to see their stories in these posts)

create something inspired by a fic! You can draw fanart, make a moodboard or aesthetic post, or even write a song for the fic you love. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro doesn’t matter - the thought alone is what counts more than anything <3

buy the writer a coffee if they have a ko-fi page and you have some change lying around c: Caffeine keeps most fic writers awake when they struggle with a particularly slow draft or a difficult scene. More coffee, more words.

These are only some ideas out of the sea of possible ways to appreciate fanfic writers. On August 21st show the writers in your fandom(s) some love <3

cearian (v.) - be anxious or solicitous; grieve; feel concern or interest Briar has spent a lifetime caring. Caring for her mother—competent but cold. Caring for plants in the window. Caring for faceless people who see her as little more than a hand of the crown keeping them down. With a plague ravaging the world outside this village of strangers and her home destroyed, now she's forced to care for a child that isn't hers and a village of people she doesn't expect to return the favor. With little choice available, she does what she always has. She cares.
