Hi! I love love love both of your headcanons for all these different characters. Do you think you could bless me with both your Tanaka headcanons? I'm trying to write a new sickfic for him but I'm coming up blank right now :p Hope I'm not being a hassle.

Casper’s HCs

stomach bugs/fevers

i don’t imagine him getting sick very often, since i hc him to have an incredible immune system.  like, to the point that, even though he always takes care of saeko when she’s sick, he doesn’t always catch her bug, despite being pretty reckless about getting close to her and all of that

having said that, on the occasion that he does get sick, it’s usually because he was taking care of his sister, who caught a bug first

he’s also gotten sick of taking care of others (namely, hinata), because the thought they were motion sick when really they had a bad stomach flu

he won’t go to school if he knows he’s sick, but he’ll often get bored after a day of sitting around alone, playing video games, so he’ll show up for practice in the afternoon.  of course, daichi kicks him out immediately.  tanaka is less scared of daichi when he’s sick and will even make fun of him, so when daichi starts getting angry, noya will offer to go home with tanaka, which appeases him, because all he really wanted was some company

he gets a lot of energy when he’s sick

kind of acts drunk when he has a fever

“yuu, you know what i just realized?”

“what is it, ryu?”

“you… you’re shorter than me, yuu.  i just realized that.  you know what?  that means you can’t reach as many things!”

noya is a little bit peeved, but forgives him because 1) tanaka’s sick, and doesn’t know what he’s saying, 2) it’s flattering to hear that someone didn’t immediately notice his height, or lack thereof, and 3) the sick boy is on the verge of tears about how sad it is that noya can’t reach so many things, and it’s just sad to watch

food dares

he seems like someone who’d be willing to eat weird food on dares

he’s usually able to succeed through sheer willpower, completing the task without vomiting despite gagging a few times

he holds it together and acts super triumphant until onlookers are gone, and then he’ll spend the rest of the night in the bathroom, puking it all up

motion sickness

he used to get really carsick as a kid, which was really bad because his parents drive as recklessly as his sister

he stopped getting carsick when saeko started driving because the thought of making a mess in saeko’s car was enough to make him fear for his life.

i hc that noya made this fear worse.  like ryu told him that saeko had learned to drive and noya was immediately like, “dude, you’ve gotta stop getting carsick.”  and ryu was all confused, like, “what do you mean?”  and noya was like, “your nee-chan is going to kill you if you mess up her car” and then they were both genuinely scared for ryu’s life, so the first time he rode with saeko, noya came, too, to protect him and encourage him to hold it in.  instead noya just ended up laughing and pretending he was on a rollercoaster.  thankfully, ryu was able to hold it in on his own

he still gets motion sick on boats and planes, though

loud noises

pretty sure i read somewhere that he has exceptionally good hearing

so he gets nauseous, sometimes to the point of throwing up, if he hears a sudden and loud noise

if you’ve ever accidentally turned your volume way up on your music player and then played it with earbuds in already, you might know how this feels, to some extent

he’s been pranked before (maybe by suga or noya?  or other classmates) by people turning up the volume on his phone without him knowing, only to cause him to throw up, sometimes on the person who pranked him

suga and daichi are very protective of him on this issue, since he’s seen the effects, and watch tanaka’s phone like a hawk when tanaka sets it down with earbuds still plugged in

he also has to be careful around blow horns, fireworks, and concerts

response to caretakers

saeko has always taken care of him while he’s sick.  it makes him feel a bit childish, but he appreciates it a lot.  as long as his sister’s there, he’s able to hold himself together for her sake

noya also takes care of him sometimes.  whenever he shows up to practice sick, noya will go home with him and keep an eye on him until saeko takes over

doesn’t resist help while sick, and doesn’t get embarrassed when someone’s around to comfort him - in fact, he appreciates it a lot, because he likes knowing that people care - but he won’t tell anyone, either, even saeko, usually because he doesn’t realize he’s going to get sick until it’s happening 

he does get embarrassed if there are girls around, excluding his sister, and he’ll try to hide from them but fails miserably

puking details

a loud puker, to the point where his retches could be mistaken as shouting

a lot of loud retching, not prone to hiccups until his stomach is empty and his throat is raw and at that point they just hurt, and occasionally bring up acidic bile

random

he’s definitely been sick from being punched in a fight before.  also, maybe from being punched by daichi?  that would explain why he’s so scared.  i feel like he would have been an even more unruly first year than the current baby crows, and could see him getting in a fight with someone a year older than him

i hc that he has an intense and paralyzing fear of spiders?  idk why, it just seems like he would to me.

Morgan’s HCs

☆Tanaka –Possibly very squeamish about vomit, I mean, remember how he reacted when Hinata threw up on the gym floor? He was completely panicked and calling for someone to do something. And then when Hinata threw up on him in the bus? There was a cut scene between the actual incident and them outside, plenty of time for Tanaka to freak out. Then when he was commenting on Hinata having grown and matured because he managed to wait until he got off the bus before he puked, he was probably relieved.

–Very strong stomach otherwise though, takes more than a little punch or ball to the gut, he’s fine with bad smells and all that. Certain tastes make him gag, of course, but not throw up.

–Acts really tough but is reduced to tears and hiccups when he throws up, babbling on about how uncool it makes him look as a senpai in between heaves.

–Likes to boast about his huge stomach, always challenging people like Kuroo, Noya and Bokuto to eating matches and often winning, though suffering the consequences after when everything makes a vengeful return.

–Gets terribly sympathy sick for anyone he’s really close to, he cannot be in the same room with his friends when they puke otherwise he’s doomed himself to the same fate, though he’s only squeamish about people he’s not so close to (e.g. Hinata)

–Certain foods make him puke for sure, like bananas probably. If he knows he’s eating it, he’ll soon puke, but as long as it’s hidden, he should be absolutely fine. At one point Nishinoya probably chased him around with one, taunting him with the demon fruit.

–Is suprisingly quiet when throwing up, except for the burps that bring with them burning mouthfuls of bile and half digested food and the sobbing.

–He’s actually really emetophobic and will put off vomiting as long as possible, if he can, hating to be out of control like that. He will cry and shake and work himself up more to the point of making himself even more ill.

–Pushing himself too far is basically his thing, mostly because he’s so obsessed with being popular with the ladies. He probably sees his physical fitness as an important part of his person as a whole so he always wants to keep pushing further, to do his best and then some more. It wouldn’t suprise me if he once had a problem with eating disorders, in his earlier school years.
