1, 9, 16 for Yuichi, Sunao and Taikyuu, 18 👀 (@zantedeschia-praesul)

[ 20 QUESTIONS FOR MULTI-MUSE BLOGS! ]

putting under a cut cause it got long LOL

1. which muse is the easiest to write? i think yams, yuichi, and taikyuu are the easiest for me to write! i've been writing taikyuu in a couple verses since like 2019 so i feel like he comes to me easily. yuichi and yamatonokami i feel are quite similar to me LOL

9. what song do you associate with each muse? oh man. i have playlists for all of them i think so! letz go - Sengo: DDD by EXID i have always said that sengo would like exid a LOT, so here! (the lyrics dont matter just the VIBES and the DANCE) - Yamatonokami: Over the Sky by Dreamcatcher again i am always saying this song reminds me of tkrb in general but it REALLY reminds me of yams? (again, not rly lyrically, jsut vibes) - Fudou: It's Been a While by Staind typical grungey song lol but... any time it comes on when i put on his playlist i'm like. Dang. - Hachisuka: Two Princes by Spin Doctors not necessarily in any kind of romantic sense but naturally just the way he acts with regard to nagasone, the "pick me, why would you pick him?" kind of thing?? it doesn't really fit witht he specific lyrics just... again... vibes (noticing a pattern here...) - Taikyuu: ME by CLC i realized while looking at my playlist for him that a good chunk of it doesn't apply as much to him thematically in tkrb verse as it did in mortal kombat LOL (because indeed their backtories/circumstances/struggles are quite different) but this... i remember when this came out, during the time i was RPing him there for MK and just thinking how PERFECT it was for him. cause in all universes he is beautiful and he knows it - Sunao: honestly any song that feels like fall OR like laying in a sunbeam Put Your Records On by Corrine Bailey Rae honestly he's just a very mellow and sweet kind of guy, though sometimes he's got a just the teensiest twinge of sorrow. - Yuichi: lately it's for sure Talk Talk by Girls' Generation i already mentioned it on his playlist post but omg ...lately it's been really in my head a lot for... Reasons lol :eyes:

16. what is a plot you’ve been wanting to do for Yuichi? - I don't have any specific ideas in mind but it would be fun to do something where things get intense in, like, his capacity as saniwa. like shit is hitting, or about to hit, the fan so he needs to Do His Job LOL

16. what is a plot you’ve been wanting to do for Sunao? - honestly i think ANY plot would be good LMAO but i like the idea of him maybe interacting with either a less-than-friendly toudan, or one who's not in the best of moods. he's such a people-pleaser he'll do anything he can to help lol

16. what is a plot you’ve been wanting to do for Taikyuu? - HMMMM... perhaps one where he hurts someone's feelings and has to handle that, or vice versa. orrrrr ... hmmmm. i will always love him being protective of his fellow toudans, even if he isn't really fond of some of them... makes me soft lol. also maybe him dealing with some kind of Failure(TM) that kinda throws him for a loop

18. which two muses would immediately fight each other if they met? probably yasu and fudou LMAO

[peakgenko]

Songs the Haikyuu boys would slow dance with you to...

CW; suggestive sexual themes

N/A, my heart nutted while writing this tbh

not proofread!!

Kei Tsukishima

Dream A Little Dream of Me- The Mamas & The Papas

I don’t even know how i made this connection but i feel like tsukishima hums a lot of old songs and so this would be one of them

Or slow dancing in the dark by joji. it’s his favourite song. because of you.

Yuu Nishinoya

So Good At Being in Trouble- Unknown Mortal Orchestra

You’d rock back and fourth with him slowly while his lips press against the back of your hand— his eyes staring intently while he hums the lyrics

Shoyo Hinata

I’m Yours- Jason Mraz

So it’s not really something you can slow dance to but this is definitely his song for you. He sings this to you in the showers, during pillow talk, or drum the rhythm with his fingers against a Tupperware when he’s cooking something for you.

He’ll pull you in by the waist and nuzzle his head up against your back with a grin.

At this point it’s his favourite song because it always gets him in the mood. But that’s only because he thinks of you when he hums it.

Rintarō Suna

Versace On The Floor- Bruno Mars

OMG

okay so I imagine the two of you on some dance floor. Like at a club. I head canon that he’s good at dancing. Effortlessly too.

The music stops and and they choose a slow song to end the evening

You’re wearing a dress that cuts off mid thigh. And he’s in a little suit. His blazers loose and his collared shirt is buttoned down since it got a little heated in the midst of sweaty bodies practically grinding up against eachother

Underneath the red and purple spotlights, specks of iridescent lights from the disco ball hanging from the ceiling arrange themselves on your faces.

He’s singing the lyrics wholeheartedly with a fox like grin while his hands roam down to your ass. Although it’s intent was far from sexual.

Atsumu Miya

Corduroy Dreams- Rex Orange County

LOVE LOVES WHISTLING IT TO YOU

Definitely does kiss you in the shower for a couple hours.

He’s fresh out of the shower and he’s wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants. Drops of water race down to his feet as they roll down his bare chest. You have your towel wrapped around your chest

One hand laced with his, he leads you in a slowing pace around the room with a chirpy smile.

Osamu Miya

Blessed- Daniel Caeser

i’m not sure how i made this conclusion but i’m gonna go with it

He has the prettiest voice when he sings along.

It’s not really dancing though. He has your back facing his chest while his arms enveloped on top of your collar bones and shoulders. He’s pecking gentle kisses against your cheek while rocking back and fourth to the song while you two prepare breakfast.

Keishin Ukai

Fly Love- Jamie Foxx

I imagine you two on some sort of resort of beach. You two are soaked of water but this song just happens to pop up so you stand there in his arms while he teasingly blows a cloud of smoke into your face.

Keiji Akaashi

HENTAI BY CIGARETTES AFTER SEX!!!!

okay for those of you who don’t know that song i know by the title of the song it looks sus and trust me he was definitely skeptic of it as well but give it a listen because now you’re all he ever thinks about when he hears this song.

he swears he’ll dance to this with you in his arms on your wedding day.

if you’re feeling angsty, he’d definitely hold you close and dance with you to the swan by camille saint-saëns

Wakatoshi Ushijima

I Hear A Symphony- Cody Fry

He loves how classy it sounds and it perfectly describes how he feels about you. hell it may even be his favourite song.

He felt like volleyball was his only purpose and for a while he was more than okay with that. until he met you and now he strives for more in life. Hence the whole “I used to hear a simple song” verse. loves putting emphasis in his tone when singing “perfection is so quick to bore...you are my beautiful by far” (only to himself of course) homeboy gets a little embarrassed when it comes to singing.

Daichi Sawamura

Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby- Cigarettes After Sex

I don’t even need to have a scenario for this like he just radiates this energy:((

Like imagine his cheek pressed against yours while his hand weaves through your hair

Tadashi Yamaguchi

You say I’m in love- Banes World!!!!!!!!

Head empty just you and yams dancing to this song underneath LEDs and a ceiling projector

you’re all he thinks about when he sings this song

and bubblegum by clairo- he’d tell you not to focus on the lyrics but instead the instrumental portion. he says the comforting mellow beat reminds him of you.

Kenma Kozume

Nothing- Bruno Major.

Sings the lyrics to you

You’d think he’d be too shy and youre right but it’s because he does it subconsciously.

BRO THIS WOULD LITERALLY BE HIS SONG IN A RELATIONSHIP

Aran Ojiro

Ugotme- Omar Apollo

Such a good singer as well

When the two of you dance, you two dance.

His ability to dance is almost mesmerizing along with his singing.

Sings while covering your neck and collarbones with kisses

Satori Tendou

How Deep Is Your Love- Bee Gees

Also dramatically lip syncs the lyrics to you

Lifts you up into the air and into his arm almost five times mid dance.

He’ll shake his head with his lips pressed up against your neck while his hands trail upwards and toy with the hem of your shirt, his hands hungry with anticipation to just rip it off.

and you scold him when you feel his lips contort into a devilish grin.

Kotaro Bokuto

Hopelessly Devoted To You- Olivia Newton John

hear me out. He only knows this song because akaashi made him watch grease bc he says bokuto should be exposed to the “classics” and since watching it at age 12 with akaashi and bo’s two sisters, he’s prayed that one day he’d meet someone that’d make him feel the way that song did.

He does now and everytime that songs on he’s practically carrying you in his arms.

Tobio Kageyama

Love Me Please- OCTAVIO

this is the only song he knows with the exception of old kanye west because he considers his music grind music but you definitely put him on this song.

He’s literally a psychopath who doesn’t listen to anything EXCEPT like popular rap songs from 2017-2018. And even then he’ll only tolerate it when he needs to work out.

And then he meets you. Now he listens to music in a different aspect.

He knows he’s not the most romantic guy out there but he’s trying his best and you tell him that’s more than enough. He loves you so much.

Koushi Sugawara

This Side of Paradise- Coyote Theory

he’s dragging you out of the house to dance with you to this song. bonus points if it’s raining

he’s also the type to scream-sing to love songs.

There aren’t any cars in the vicinity due to the pouring rain so the two of you make your way to the road.

Your hand in his, he twirls you underneath the storm and into his arms.

Toru Oikawa

Pretty Boy- The Neighborhood

He’ll put so much emphasis in his tone on the “Even if the earth starts shaking, you’re the only thing worth taking- with me. Even if the sky’s on fire, got you here it’s alright.” verse

You’re literally everything to him

he won’t let you go even for a second until this song is finished even then he’ll have trouble parting.

Hajime Iwaizumi

Baby I’m Yours- Arctic Monkeys cover

It’s not even dancing at this point, it’s just you two cuddling and him pretending like he hates it even though he’s the one who refuses to let go of you.

Ryonusuke Tanaka

Knockin’ Da Boots- H-town

if he’s not dancing to this with you in his arms he’s definitely ironically grinding on the floor to this with a fuck boy face.

Hitoka Yachi

two queens in a king sized bed- girl in red

I just imagine the most “call me by your name” scenery type shit.

Or maybe like a field of flowers? You just have her in your arms on some sort of picnic date she planned for the two of you

Semi Eita-

I Wanna Be Yours- Arctic Monkeys

your arms wrap around his neck and his lips press onto yours while the two of you sway back and fourth underneath red led lights.

don’t be surprised if things get sexual.

Tetsuro Kuroo

Careless Whisper- George Michael

okay first he played this song when you were over once and he had it on so that he could initiate a little make out sess with you but when you could tell how nervous he was on making a move on you you told him that there was no pressure on anything and he sort of just danced with you instead. he ended up unironically really liking this song because of that.

(bonus: if it’s fanon kuroo he likes to dance to sway by Michael Bublé with you and the whole time he’s just eyeing you down with a sly grin)

Kiyoomi Sakusa

Beach Baby- Bon Iver

Space Song- Beach House

I imagine it’s raining horribly outside to the point where the thunder outside is retro boomin

but the windows are open because both you and Sakusa love the sound of rain pouring

he has this song playing from his record player while he hums against your neck.

drunk haikyuu boys singing to you

Synopsis: how some haikyuu boys sing to you while they’re just slightly drunk

Characters: Sugawara, Ushijima, Bokuto, Kenma, Yamaguchi, & Kageyama - all with a Fem!Reader

Warnings: mentions of alcohol, some swearing probably, mention of a suggestive song (but nothing specific!). All characters in this fic are assumed to be of legal drinking age :)

Haikyuu Masterlist

Sugawara will literally sing to you anywhere anytime. Backup dancers no backup dancers, stage or no stage, drunk or not drunk. He is READY.

He’s definitely embarrassed you in the park before, singing to you at the top of his lungs some adorable little song that he’s now obsessed with. He has a really great voice but omg Suga please shush, people are staring at you.

But drunk Suga? Oh that boy is going to SERENADE the shit out of you. It probably won’t even be a romantic song to be honest. He’s probably singing some really suggestive song at you, winking with both eyes because he’s very tipsy (“m not drunk Daichi, I can totally handle another shot if you would jus gimme”).

He’s basically scream-singing because the music at the club is loud so it’s a lot of dance moves and hand gestures too. Tries to grind on you but again, had a few drinks, so he’s kinda just flopping around lol.

Has Daichi and Asahi singing backup for him even though Asahi doesn’t really know what the lyrics are so he’s just nodding and humming along (cut to his :O face when he realizes how suggestive the song is).

Ushijima doesn’t sing out loud in public sorry. But after a couple of shots that Tendo just keeps pouring for him, he’ll happily sit somewhere in the pub with you on his lap. His lips will continuously press kisses to your forehead and you can hear him softly hum or whisper the lyrics of the love song that just came on the speakers.

He’ll brush the hair away from your ear so he can continue softly humming to you with each kiss, smiling cause you’re so embarrassed but you’re also loving it??? And he loves you and just wants to tell you that. He might not be the greatest at words but this song seems to be lovely and has a good melody so he gonna at least hum it to you, singing out the parts that he really connects with.

You’re not even really sure if he remembers it in the morning cause you can’t really? tell? when he’s drunk? He becomes slightly more okay with PDA and his cheeks go a nice red but like tipsy vs drunk you got no clue.

But you catch him humming the song again later the next day and he catches your eye and gives you that smile again and like ugh butterflies.

Bokuto is has been preparing for this FOR AGES. He’s already thrown back a few shots but serenading you has been like a dream of his for AGES. So the shots are just adding to his confidence. Once they announce the start of karaoke, he is ALREADY on the stage.

Akaashi is ike sir please no just come back here and don’t embarrass us, but Bokuto is insistent because he is the best at everything so why would he not do it??

Gets on stage and picks some like very dramatic song, (if you’re a Brooklyn99 fan, imagine how Gina is dancing to Beautiful by Christina Aguilera to those teenagers cause that’s what I’m imagining rn lol) and at the beginning of the music, he just pulls the mic off of the stand like some cocky pop star, looks you dead in the eye and points at you saying, “This one is for you, hot stuff”.

You’re just hiding behind your fingers but like peeking through them because as entertaining as this is, you can also feel everyone staring at you and that is just a no thank you.

Akaashi is filming it and sends it to the group chat so everyone can laugh with him at how confident Bokuto is. But also like ??? Bokuto has a good voice and the team has only ever heard him singing in the locker rooms (but most of the time that’s like speak-singing? if that makes sense?) whereas right now he’s going full out because he loves you.

Kenma like Ushijima really doesn’t want to sing out in public. You might catch him humming along to his game’s music but karaoke? ya no sorry. Not unless it’s just the two of you in a private karaoke room, then maybe he’ll quietly sing along.

But the two of you are just chilling in a pub, watching some other volleyball players play a version of Never Have I Ever that’s about their volleyball teams (“Never has my teammates gotten a penalty for screaming at each other.” “Kuroo you ass.” “Not my fault, drink up Daichi, and all you Karasuno boys too.”)

Kenma had had a few drinks and was feeling pretty mellow. He felt like he could fall asleep right here with you in his arms but he was just nodding his head off to the music.

Then you started humming and quietly singing along to the music and he recognized it as something you had sung along to at home too. It gets to the part where the lyrics say something like “baby you’re everything to me”, and Kenma sings it with you.

You look up at him in surprise cause you honestly thought he was sleeping, but his eyes are wide open now, looking at you with literally all the love in the world.

Yamaguchi has literally the prettiest voice in the world and you cannot change my mind. He sings to you all the time at home, dancing with you in the kitchen while you’re trying not to burn dinner, or in the car while you two are singing at the tops of your lungs, but he’s never done it in public before. Cause that shit scary.

But after a few drinks warm his whole body, he’s smiling at you with closed eyes, swaying to the music.

“Are you okay, Yams?” You laugh, brushing your fingers through his hair and he just nods and holds your hand to his face while he half hums, half sings some of the lyrics to you.

“Holy shit, Yamaguchi can SING?” The Karasuno boys would go crazy. Cue Sugawara asking the owner of the establishment you guys are at to play a specific song he knows that Yamaguchi loves. All of them crowding around you guys like some acappella group, singing along with Yamaguchi.

You’re just like oh my god what is wrong with you all but like it’s the cutest thing ever. You filmed it. Posted it on your Insta.

Yamaguchi is famous now because girls are DYING over his voice and how he looks at you when he sings. He is very embarrassed but likes that you were so proud of him that you posted about him because this boi insecure please go love him the way he deserves.

When I think of Kageyama drunk, I’m thinking of his little dance before the meat BBQ scene at training camp LOL (note the gif above). This boy is dancing very awkwardly but he moving because he happy. But also like singing? Um no, he’s nervous thank you very much. He doesn’t really hum or sing in general so drunk Kageyama isn’t much different but if he hears you singing??? He starts giving you puppy eyes because he loves your voice so much. So you start singing to him and he’s nodding along with a little smile on his face. And then he starts singing too? At first it’s more like speak-singing but then he gets really into it (while also dancing very awkwardly) and he has???? such a nice??? voice???? like sir??? Why have you spent so much time yelling at Hinata when you could be singing?

He’ll like pinch your cheeks a little while he’s singing to you and is all red-faced because a) drunk and b) his inner self is like omg this is embarrassing please stop but he loves you so much he can’t help himself.

As usual, reblogs, comments, and likes and any sort of feedback are all appreciated! :)

Taglist (please let me know if you’d like to be added to a permanent Haikyuu taglist!) @aurumk​ (just cause I told you I was writing this and I know you were excited for it haha)

[ellewords]

of course it’s okay with me!

yamaguchi is more like character tsukishima, but more charming and less intentionally mean. yams is really snarky and a bit of a smart ass, but he doesn’t try to hurt people’s feelings in the way that character tsuki does. (sometimes actor tsuki goes to yams if he’s having a hard time figuring out the balance of saying a particularly mean line, and yams is always willing to walk him through it and provide options for how he thinks it would be best to convey the character while keeping actor tsukishima’s personality in mind)

sugawara is very similar to his character. like, it’s kind of scary how similar. sometimes in interviews, he and the cast make jokes about how they think the writers of the show secretly followed suga around for a few weeks to get the mannerisms and attitude perfect for the character. also jokes that he’s really happy that the fans like his character because he doesn’t know if his ego could handle being hated as a character and essentially as a person. he always phrases it as a joke, but you can kind of tell that he’s really sensitive to the topic.

something about kiyoko makes me think she’d be the biggest prankster. she is really similar to her character, but she’s also super cheeky and playful, and no one would suspect it from her because she’s mostly chill and professional/serious. but sometimes when a prank happens that neither tendo nor kuroo claim, you can see her smirking just a little bit, and it feels like a bit in the office when the camera will focus in on her and she’ll just have that look™️. it takes cast and crew a bit to realize that’s she can be just as rowdy as some of the others whereas it takes the fans a single clip of a prank on the second year karasuno boys and a half second of kiyoko appearing in the background with the tiniest smirk.

ukai is very much like his character. he’s competitive and a bit of a hard ass, but he’s also really caring and tends to be able to read people really well. he’s constantly making sure the cast and crew are taking care of themselves in his reluctantly caring about people type of way, and everyone loves to tease him about it. when they do, he gets defensive and tries to act like he doesn’t, but normally he accidentally slips up almost immediately. the cast and crew love him a lot, and look up to him even though he always makes it very clear that he doesn’t understand quite why they do.

mad dog is super timid in comparison to his character. the cast met him for the first time right as they were starting to film, so their first impression of him was that he was super intimidating and angry. the second they stopped rolling, however, he went up to every member of the cast to introduce himself and they were surprised that he was super mellow. people still can’t tell if he’s stand-offish after the first meeting, but pretty quickly they realize that he’s just a little shy so he has a hard time conveying himself right away. cast and crew adore him after the first few filming sessions, though.

kita is almost exactly like his character. he has a routine, he’s consistent, works his ass off, people can rely on him in just about every situation. the only thing really different is that he’s super clumsy. he’s always trying to get things done as efficiently as possible, so sometimes he gets into his own head about it and focuses too hard on what he’s doing, so he doesn’t notice the tiny step in his way or the chair leg he’s walking past. he always tries to play it cool because that’s just how he is, but he does get pretty embarrassed by it, so no one on the cast makes jokes about it because they don’t want him to feel bad. he really appreciates it.

hope you’re having a good day, elle!

aaaah wait all of these are so good anon !! i’m so !!! honestly, your mind.... woah. big brain energy,, thoughts under the cut <33

okay so thoughts bec i love what you sent in :

omg sweet and snarky actor yams ?? yes pls i feel like the fans would honestly be amazed whenever he actor tsukki do press interviews together bec it feels like they just saw the characters switch bodies ?? even four season in, no one is used to seeing yams tease tsukki for a change. also big awe with them helping each other with lines 🥺

awe suga 🥺 i feel like a lot of people would tell him his job is easy because he’s essentially just acting like himself all the time and he would get a bit upset by that because it implies that he doesn’t work as hard as everyone when he absolutely does :((

my girl kiyoko !! i feel like when the cast finally realizes the pranks that neither tendou nor kuroo claim is theirs are actually from her, everything would just go off the rails from there. because if kiyoko pranks people now,, they definitely would too?? there’s definitely a video wherein everything is just utter chaos and she just looks into the camera at the center of it all.

ukai awe :<< he’d definitely be the cast’s go-to if they ever need any sort of advice, even if they’re not from karasuno specifically and esp. if they’re the younger ones still new to acting. he gives advice on anything from love to navigating the entertainment industry. and at first he tells them that “it’s not exactly any of my business” but he finds them later and gives solid, genuine advice.

kyoutani 🥺 awe i can see actor him being so soft spoken and it gives everyone whiplash the second they stop rolling. also probably invited the team over to dinner after he introduced himself so they can get to know each other better :<<

clumsy kita just owns my whole heart, i love that <33

i hope you’re having a good day as well !! <33

᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃

from this ask | send me your hcs on a characters as cast / actor au !! <33

[yaboylevi]

I’ve been disappointed w/ snk post time skip because once we had new characters I knew that meant sacrificing character development/moments for established characters and I feel yams has been racing towards the finish to the extent that certain plot points just aren’t believable to me. Many ppl wonder how Erwin would have handled things but honestly? He would have just sat on his thumb and spun like everyone else. Because getting to the end quickly demands that. What do you think?

Erwin’s main strength, imo, was manipulating other people, mainly his political adversaries, or, rather, playing them like a fiddle so they would do what he wanted...or so the situation would go how he hoped it would be advantageous to him and his schemes -  which were mostly for the sake of their survival. This post-timeskip situation called for that, precisely. Hange has never been a politician, but I think they were also dumbed down just for plot convenience, especially because they had Pixis close-by, notoriously good at playing the politics game, but even him was mellowed out. I feel like the “usual” Erwin would’ve done a better job.

Of course, we don’t know how he would’ve reacted to the basement reveal, I just know that I disagree with those who think he would have become a “shell of his past self, too burdened by his guilt”. I think the basement reveal would have reinvigorated him at one point. Guilt had never stopped him before, the only reason he got such complicated feelings in Shiganshina was because he was finally faced with his possible death AND FAILURE, much more than other times. As we have seen in chapter 134, people /feels bad man/ a lot more easily when faced with their imminent death and a hopeless situation. 

So, while he has always felt a certain guilt over the people who died under his command, I don’t feel he would’ve been too affected once he realized that “their sacrifice meant they finally grasped the truth”, however grim that was. 

A better political approach wouldn’t have created the dead end Paradis found itself in, which pressured Eren - alongside his unlocked future memories THAT WERE A RESULT of present choices anyway. If those present choices were different, that future wouldn’t have manifested.

But we also need to consider that if Erwin was alive, it means Armin would be dead, and I feel this would’ve aggravated Eren’s mental state. But ultimately what pushed Eren to this were his future memories AND the inescapable cruel end Paradis was happily running towards. If Erwin being alive had changed those two variables, things wouldn’t have come to this. I think Eren would’ve held a grudge against Levi, Hange etc, and probably even the military, but he wouldn’t have gone rouge. Maybe he would’ve lost his will to fight, after all, because Armin’s apparent death gutted him and crushed his heart as we have seen. Maybe in this cirsumstances, he would’ve let himself be used fully as a weapon by the military, as there were heavy hints throughout the story that this could’ve very likely happened.

Now I’m sad, but I think I would’ve liked that more....than...this.

A Chef’s Guide to Nourishing Soup (Plus 27 Paleo Soups, Stews, and Broths You Have to Try)

Soups are full of nourishing vegetables, meats, and herbs, and offer a wide array of both nutritious and convenient meal options. If I had my way, they would always be enjoyed in front of a toasty fire with snow falling outside. But even if you aren’t living in my pre-internet imagination dreamscape, you can still be as hypnotized by soup season as I am.

Pro Tips for Making Your Own Soup

Most people probably think that a soup is a soup, but soups are also an incredible way to experience other cultures and traditions. Beyond that, there are numerous different kinds of soups. Where most interchangeably use the term “soup,” technically other terms may be more correct. There are also key ways to make your soup stand out from the rest, and we’ll cover the best Paleo ways to make your soups shine.

1. Start With the Right Base

While soup might be soup, there are different types of bases from which to build your soup. Consider the following:

Soup: A liquid dish made from meat, vegetables, grains, and a liquid. To keep it Paleo, grains are obviously excluded, but excellent examples include chicken soup and beef vegetable soup.

Stock: A flavorful liquid made from meat, fish, and vegetables along with odd cuts or scraps of bones, shells, stems, and the like. Stock is the building broth of flavor for any soup. Another form of stock, fumet, is made specifically from fish bones.

Broth: This differs from stock in that it is typically made from more substantial and palatable portions instead of just scraps and leftovers. Broth is typically richer and more flavorful than plain stock, but both stock and broth can appear in the same soup.

Bouillon: A clear broth made from meat with vegetables or just vegetables.

Consume: A broth that has gone one step further with a clarification process that removes sediment from the liquid.

Bone Broth or Glace: Made from bones resulting in a gelatinous texture. Typically using an acid like apple cider vinegar to draw out the collagen and other nutrients. Bone broths are cooked significantly longer than meat stocks or broths.

Bisque: A pureed soup that contains shellfish.

Cream soups: Stock or broth thickened with cream.

Chowder: A soup that uses a flour roux as a thickening agent.

Purees: Smooth soups that are thickened using vegetable puree.

Stews: Made from ingredients cooked in a liquid and served with the liquid or a gravy made from the liquid. Traditionally slow-cooked and perfect for not-so-tender cuts of meat.

Chili: A one-pot dish with a thick, flavorful liquid. Ingredients vary by region or tradition, but commonly uses a tomato base.

Gazpacho: A Spanish-style soup made from tomatoes and other vegetables, typically served cold.

As you can see, there are few limits to the direction in which you can take your soup. The base or type of broth you build your soup on sets the tone for the rest of the ingredients.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Beef It Up

While thin-brothed soups can have their place, don’t discount the value of pureed vegetables or fruits in thickening a soup and creating a more filling dish. Parsnips, apples, celeriac, pears, carrots, mushrooms, and more can all be utilized to add some depth to your soup, depending on your other ingredients.

3. For Stellar Results, Cook Ahead

Soups are typically tastier the next day. Ingredients and flavors marry and mellow, creating a balance that can’t be achieved by anything other than resting in the pot a day before enjoying (in the fridge, of course).

4. Find the Right Salt Balance

Soups need salt to bring out the best of their flavors, but there’s a fine line between just enough and too much. If your soup ends up too salty, add something acidic like lemon or apple cider vinegar to balance out the flavor without diluting your soup.

27 Paleo Soup Recipes

To get you started on your soup journey, here are some of my favorite and forgiving soup recipes.

1. Turmeric Chicken Noodle Soup with Zoodles

Seijou 3rd years, and Yamaguchi and Kindaichi

Wow, that’s a lot! Thank you so much! I put the rest under the cut.

Oikawa Tooru

Why I like them: He’s incredibly serious and focused, his competitive side burns like fire, but he’s also a giant dork off the court. Best of both worlds! But he’s also very kind to his fanclub, like, he interacts with them and accepts their gifts.

 Why I don’t: Sometimes, he seems really fake.

 Favorite episode: I- I don’t think I can narrow it down…

 Favorite season: Season 2!

 Favorite line: “Spikers are all different. Once you’re able to bring out 100% of the strengths of each and every one of them, that’s when you’ll be a true setter!”

 Favorite outfit: THE AOBAJOUSAI UNIFORM. IT SUITS HIM SO WELL.

 OTP: Hnnnng I love OiIwa, but also Matsuhanaiwaoi, but also OiKin and OiKuni, and pretty much any pairing within seijou.

 Brotp: See the above! But I love Captain!squad too!

 Head Canon: He has a reeeeeeally big family! His father is one of seven, his mother is one of three, and most of his aunts and uncles have multiple kids too! He has over 20 cousins! And, of course, an older brother and sister, plus his nephew Takeru. There’s another on the way from his sister.

 Unpopular opinion: He hates fashion. There’s so much pressure to get things just right! He’d rather just throw on the first thing he grabs, as long as it doesn’t clash too bad.

 A wish: I hope he makes peace with Kageyama. Even reluctantly. Just like

“Oh noooo, you accidentally saw me serving… Whoops, better not teach you- hey! If you’re gonna do my serve, do it properly, like this!”

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Losing contact with Iwaizumi.

 5 words to best describe them: Manipulative (in a good way), clever, dorky, complicated, focused.

 My nickname for them: Oinkawa.

 Iwaizumi Hajime

 Why I like them: Have you seen him???? He’s confident, kind, 100% the perfect senpai, badass, and he’s like a freakin’ ninja with those receives!!!

 Why I don’t: Uhhhhhhhhh

 Favourite episode: All of them. Every single episode he appears in.

 Favourite season: Season 2!

 Favourite line: “Don’t think about anything unnecessary. No matter what, you only need to focus on the ball in front of you.”

 OTP: OiIwa, MatsuIwa, IwaKin, IwaKyou, IwaDai, IwaKiyo, UshiIwa… And many polyships.

 BROTP: HanaIwa and SugaIwa! Also any of the above if they’re not dating.

 Head canon: He falls apart in university. Sometime around the end of second year-start of third year. He just gets too wrapped up in studying, practice, trying to balance everything and just,,, falls apart. His friends get him back on his feet though!

 Unpopular opinion: Y'all focus too much on his arms. He’s a person, not a slab of meat.

 A wish: Let him on the national team! Even if he’s on the bench for a while! Let! Him! On! The! Team!

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Loses contact with Oikawa.

 5 words to best describe them: Persuasive, comforting, respectful, kind, senpai.

 My nickname for them: Iwazoominoomi.

Matsukawa Issei

 Why I like them: He’s amazing!!! Not just as a blocker, but he’s really strategic too, like in the match against Karasuno where he came up with the solution against Hinata’s quick!

 Why I don’t: I- I don’t have anything to put here…

 Favourite episode: The one where he figures out how to limit Hinata’s quick!

 Favourite season: 2!!!!

 Favourite line: “TANTANMEN!” I can’t spell, but that’s when he called out his ramen order for if Oikawa missed his serve.

 Favourite outfit: Whenever he’s wearing Hanamaki’s shirt. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 OTP: MatsuHana!!!! MatsuIwa, MatsuOi, MatsuKin, MatsuKuni, and any polyships within that!!

 BROTP: Any of the above if they aren’t romantic, and Matsukawa & Watari!

 Head canon: Has twin baby brothers!!! They’re seven, and they’re total cheeky devils. He loves and spoils them to bits.

 Unpopular opinion: He’s a lot quieter and mellow than people think, and not just a meme.

 A wish: I wish the best for Matsukawa and hope he has a happy, peaceful life doing what he loves.

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Getting into an accident and ending up injured. I say, having written a fic where he gets paralysed from the waist down…

 5 words to describe them: Quiet, analytical, eyebrows, supportive, friend.

 My nickname for them: Mattsun.

 Hanamaki Takahiro.

 Why I like them: He’s so goofy but also really down-to-earth!

 Why I don’t: I don’t have enough information on him to deduce this. Why doesn’t he have more screen time?

 Favourite episode: The one where he laughs and then high-fives Oikawa!

 Favourite season:  Season Twooooo.

 Favourite line: “Y-Yeah, I’m fine, I’m fine!” After Kyoutani knocks him to the floor and Oikawa asks if he’s okay. He says it with a little laugh, it’s adorable!

 BROTP: See the above, plus HanaKuni, and HanaWata!

 Head canon: he has chickens!!!! Just a small pen in the back garden, but CHICKENS!

 Unpopular opinion: Dude, creampuffs are awesome, but that doesn’t mean he’s obsessed. They’re a special treat!

 A wish: Considering his all-around ability, he’s probably got the best chance of getting on the national team next to Oikawa. I really wish that would happen!

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Vanish from the manga.

 5 words to describe them: More than a meme, ffs.

 My nickname for them: Makki.

 Yamaguchi Tadashi.

 Why I like them: He’s incredible!!! Not only is he highly motived, but holy smokes, talk about character development! He went from Cinnamon Bun to “Will kill for a money.”!

 Why I don’t: Originally, I didn’t like that he was a bit of a pushover. But his development in Season 2 erased that, especially during the training camp!

 Favourite episode: Can- Can I say all of them?

 Favourite season: Season 3!

 Favourite line: “I want to be able to make my body move right! I want to control the ball! I want to play on the same level as the other, better players!”

 Favourite outfit: In the match against Hinata, Kageyama and Tanaka, where he wears the black shorts and maroon jumper!

 OTP: TsukkiYama, KurooYama, TanaYama, YamaAsa, SugaYama, OiYama.

 BROTP: YamaHina! YamaKen.

 Head canon: I like to think that he as a single mother, and they’re very close knit, despite the fact that she travels the world so he basically lives alone.

 Unpopular opinion: His freckles aren’t stars. They’re sunspots! Freckles appear after extended time in the sun, so he’s a really outdoorsy person.

 A wish: I wish he’d score 10 in a row like Hinata told him to!

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Like, a shoulder injury? Cus then he wouldn’t be able to serve!

 5 words to describe them: Loyal, dedicated, motivated, sweet'n'sour (That’s one word, okay?) and Kind.

 My nickname for them:  Tororo! It’s grated Japanese mountain Yam!

Kindaichi Yuutaro.

 Why I like them: Oh my god I love him so much he’s my precious son, he deserves the WORLD. He’s spiteful to those he doesn’t like, true to himself, but an absolute sweetheart with the aobajousai team. He’s like, their child. His main concern is that girls call him lanky and his name means Brave First Son, like, can he get any more perfect???? He’s also a Gemini like me, so I’m biased. XD

 Why I don’t: I can’t answer this. My heart will break.

 Favourite episode: ALL OF THEM

 Favourite season: Ahhhh- 1 and 2? Can I pick both?

 Favourite line: “N-No! Yes!” “Which is it?”

 Favourite outfit: His big volleyball jumper! The one he wears over the normal uniform outside of games.

 OTP: IWAKIN IWAKIN IWAKIN. But also MatsuKin, HanaKin, OiKin, KinKuni, and KyouKin, plus any polyships within that. I’m also warming up to KinHina and YamaKin.

 BROTP: Yahaba and Kindaichi! Throw Watari in there too and I call them the gossip squad.

 Head canon: He doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. His mother is barely around because she’s too busy being a scumbag, and his father has been in jail as long as he can remember. He doesn’t know the full reason why, but apparently it’s something that his mother says “doesn’t even matter”. (Spoiler, it’s multiple counts of child abuse. It does matter.)

 Unpopular opinion: His hair!! Is perfect!!! Leave him alone!!!

 A wish: I really want him to be vice-captain and Ace in his third year. And I wanna see him crush Kageyama. On a friendly basis, of course!

 An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: P l e a s e don’t cry anymore. Oh god, that breaks my heart. I NEVER WANT HIM TO BE HURT SO HE CRIES AGAIN. (yet I write so much angst about him…)
