I've been rewatching BSD while I work and Kyouka's still my favourite

FINALLY GOT THE THING THAT’S BEEN SITTING IN THE DUST FOR LIKE, TWO MONTHS FINISHED!!
the one and only @not-the-organ ‘s Hearts! (or well. most of them)
click on the image(s) to see it better please, i’m sure it looks terribly crunchy
[cropped-ish images below the cut + slight rambling]
so i know that this is. Terribly. outdated (and late) but just think of it as a blast to the past of sorts!
(i also just didn’t trust myself to have the energy to add 2 more fellas and update everything. sorry. i would’ve done it if i could)
and before anyone asks, Heart-Chan’s headband is under the hood. i just really really liked how it looked with the hood up
okay thankk you bye-

no but you're onto something with y6 being damage control i swear. they let him be too vulnerable in y5 and said uhoh the dude bro audience isn't gonna like this! put him in some ""manly"" situations stat!
its the price they made us pay to see Kiryu attain hot grandpa status and I seethe over it.
you are So right and it’s aggravating because y5 kiryu felt so… emotionally honest in comparison to a lot of other games? and easy to connect to because of it? he wasn’t sugarcoated or performative and it just felt like the raw core of who he is for the most part. ghhhgshh so much about the plot and energy of y6 is so… unnecessary and disappointing considering the note y5 left off on, it makes it feel like alot of the emotion in y5 was sorta for nothing (not just on kiryu’s part, but majima/saejima’s shit didn’t get much of a follow up, shinada just disappeared, etc). it just makes alot that built up to this point feel hollow and like as if the bonds that existed weren’t even there and I don’t like that at all hdhhcjdhf
but yeah all that aside, I think y5 is the most convincingly gay kiryu’s been in any game, I mean, to the point of it being legitimately alluded to by other characters who assume he’s gay based on his secretive lifestyle and lack of interest in women and so on. and I don’t doubt that it got noticed by the general public to some degree, especially when you can compare his behavior to other playable characters in the same game– and god forbid their angsty rugged manly protagonist be Actually Not Straight. so kiryu’s long-since-established personality got butchered here and there more and more just to try and make the audience believe he’s actually been some sort of charismatic ladies man all along, which is jarringly antithetical to the kiryu we’ve seen in previous game(s) and to their own narrative that he’s only ever loved one (1) woman (all this goes for kiwami 2 as well, which is even worse in some ways, which is unsurprising considering it came right after y6).
all in all it makes me uneasy about the upcoming games and not optimistic that he’ll be presented as the character i grew to love in most of y0-y5. but i guess there’s some comfort in knowing that there isn’t one interpretation of him that’s indisputable fact, considering he’s been written and developed by way more than just one person with one view of him over the years– and that most of the really out of character dialogue and stuff is in unessential skippable parts of the game(s) like the cabaret club and standalone substories.

Haikyuu S2 EP24 the repeated line "The team that's better as six wins" isn't just Oikawa being cocky or anything it is the Absolute Truth. Everything in Haikyuu is like that. Any repeated phrase or motif is truth and it's SHOWN with Karasuno's match point.
RIGHT HERE!!!! RIGHT FUCKING HERE YOU CAN SEE IT SO CLEARLY.
All throughout the match, Kyoutani has been the OBVIOUS outlier. He goes against the grain in a high-risk high-reward way. In Karasuno's previous match against Seijoh (before Kyoutani), Seijoh won because they were the team that was better as six.
In this game, not only is Karasuno stronger as a team, but Seijoh now has this new weapon that doesn't quite fit in-- makes then strong but not as Six.
And if that wasn't clear from the first time Kyoutani stepped onto the court then here we have this frame, the one of Karasuno's winning point, and the whole team is ready-- defenses ready to receive, 3 blockers in the air-- but only 2 of those blockers are high enough. The outlier is, once again, Kyoutani.
Not dissing Kyoutani here. He's an absolutely insane player who can pull off some crazy stuff (like his wicked cut shot), but he's MUCH less developed when it comes to playing on a team.
"The team that's better as six wins" you're so right Oikawa, and he says it like he knows it so well so why didn't he try to get Kyoutani subbed out? If he knows it for a fact why couldn't he see the obvious flaw so clearly?
Kyoutani is an absolutely WILD weapon. So wild, in fact, that it blinded Oikawa (because he was sort of the one to take him in). In Oikawa's mind, Kyoutani makes them a stronger six, but not to the rest of the team (shown via Kyoutani stealing tosses amongst other things).
And I can't tell if it was the raw talent in Kyoutani that made Oikawa want him on the team so much. It's well-established that Oikawa envies those with natural talent (for example: Ushijima and Kageyama), so maybe he thought having someone like that on the team would make them better? Idk I'm just making things up at this point.
I just thought that would be silly to point out. And who better to sacrifice my Haikyuu thoughts to than the 2 audience members hiiiiii ^_^

I see fandom is misbehaving again 🙃
I am 👌🏻 close to shutting myself off from y’all so I can stay sane, I’m not kidding 🙄
