( @talentbloomed ) WROTE :
“Have you seen my glasses ?” @ muse of your choice !
❝ Hm ? ❞
Matsukawa barely looked up from his phone at the question , scrolling aimlessly through his regular feed of memes .
❝ Why’d you take them off if you can’t keep track of them ? Honestly , Oikawa , you’re kinda hopeless sometimes . ❞
Never mind the fact that the glasses in question were tucked securely in Matsukawa’s back pocket . He would give them back when he felt like Oikawa had stumbled around enough to make up for serving the ball so damn hard during practice . It was so unnecessary ── ─ he ought to save that kind of strength for a real game instead of using it against his teammates .
An hour or two spent slightly more VISUALLY IMPAIRED than usual wouldn’t hurt him much .

( MATSUKAWA VERSES )
High School ( Default )
Takes place anywhere between his first and third years of high school. When he first begins high school, he is far more shy and reserved and frequently the subject of bullying that followed him from junior high. After meeting Hanamaki, Oikawa, and Iwaizumi, however, he gradually breaks out of his shell and becomes the dry-humoured jokester, albeit he still carries something of an intimidating presence. He begins to develop schizophrenia right around when he turns eighteen and struggles to deal with it.
College
Matsukawa has started college to study mortuary science and dabble in a bit of forensic pathology for shits and giggles. He's always had a fascination with dead things, so why not make a career out of it? He mostly keeps to himself these days, but he's still more than happy to hang out with his friends and take advantage of the college lifestyle to make stupid decisions.
Mortician
Now a full-fledged mortician (and having been registered as an official minister, in case you were curious), Matsukawa is all business...for the most part. There will always be a side of him that can't resist pulling a macabre prank or two when the opportunity arises.
Necromancer
A 188-year-old Shadar-kai, Matsukawa hails from the Shadowfell, but has since ventured in the Material Plane as a necromancer to "broaden his horizons", as it were. He carries a dreadful aura with a noticeable impact on the world of life around him, but that didn't stop him from wanting to explore the Material Plane for all it had to offer.
Greek Mythos
Matsukawa is the demigod of the titaness Styx, goddess of the Underworld river by the same name. He possesses the power of oath-binding, wherein any promise made by or to him is binding and an unfavourable fate will befall those (himself included) who break those promises. In addition, he can summon forth the souls of oath breakers from the Underworld and tamper with others' dreams while they sleep. He is a frequent vessel of ghostly possession and carries a curse placed upon him by Styx herself for breaking a promise that was meant to fulfill a prophecy. This curse causes him to transform into a grotesque sea monster when submerged in water.
BNHA
Matsukawa is a villain known as "Phantom" with a Quirk called Possession. He can possess another's body by entering a black smoke-like state and control their movements. The host's eyes will exhibit black sclerae and bright blue irises. The host may be able to resist the possession, expel Matsukawa from their body, or trap him inside it, with power of will. Any damage sustained by the host is sustained by Matsukawa as well (if the host dies while he's possessing them, he dies too). If the host is knocked unconscious or falls asleep, Matsukawa is expelled from their body by force.

( @pridewon ) WROTE :
sit. for (iwaizumi) to encourage (matsukawa) to sit and rest.
For the most part , Matsukawa liked to take things easy . He was never the type to overexert himself when ❛ GOOD ENOUGH ❜ could suffice . He didn’t think this made him an underachiever so much as a realist . After all , there were things that already came easily to him , such as academics .
Volleyball , however , was different . Matsukawa pushed himself above &&. beyond for his team , though perhaps not to quite such a severe degree as their captain . He didn’t push himself because of any strong affection for the sport itself , but rather because of this peculiar COMPETITIVE STREAK he never knew he had until he started playing . That &&. an unyielding fear of letting down his teammates . They all put in the work to get to where they are &&. Matsukawa wasn’t going to be the one to hold them back for lack of effort .
A couple others had asked him to stay after practice to block for them , to which he happily agreed . It was as good practice for them as it was for him . His height advantage meant that his GREATEST STRENGTH in a game was blocking , which was why he ended up with the middleblocker position in the first place . He had to do whatever it took to refine that skill so that he could keep his place amoung the ranks of such a prestigious powerhouse school . He had earned that number two on the back of his jersey &&. he had every intention of keeping it .
It was only when Iwaizumi finally flagged him down &&. waved him to the benches that he realized how out of breath he was . By the time he made it to the bench &&. sat down , his feet felt like lead &&. his arms burned so much they were almost NUMB , not to mention the sting of his palms .
❝ Thanks , ❞ he said on an exhale as he leaned back on his hands &&. felt the sweat roll down his cheeks . ❝ Think I’m done for the day anyway . I should probably take a shower &&. go home while I can still feel my legs . ❞
Matsukawa tried for a little breathless chuckle as he lifted his already damp T-shirt to wipe at the moisture on his face . It was lucky for Iwaizumi ; at the rate he was going , Matsukawa might have kept on until he physically collapsed from exhaustion . He was just too far in the zone .
