Haikyuu Book Club Week 9 - Part 2: the way Bokuto knows Akaashi (and a little character study of Bo)

This is gonna be a bit messy and all over the place, but I wanted to dive deeper into the way bokuto takes care of akaashi (and the team)!

This panel gave me the shivers! Akaashi is being picked on by the opposite team and is in obvious panic about it. Bo notices and immediately starts thinking tactics and BOOM. Spikes an impossible cross. This is the face he gives the opponents: don’t fuck with my setter!

Bokuto has always been seen as an ace who can only be as good as he is bc of the way his team takes care of him. Just earlier in the game a recruiter (?) for the National Japanese team has remarked that, though Bokuto is good, he ‘wished he always played like that’, indicating that his ‘breakdowns’ make him a lesser player. Bokuto, who obviously doesn’t have full control over these breakdowns, suddenly decides that he needs to grow up and try to manage his feelings better, something he never had to do bc he had his team. However, he won’t have his team forever and it’s his goal to go pro, so he HAS to do something now. If he wants to play with his teammates for a little longer, he’ll have to get his shit together! And he does!!

The way most people would interpret this as a slight against Akaashi. Instead, it’s Bo taking care of him, knowing it’s what he might need! (Also calling himself a big baby knowing he would absolutely lose it if he himself were to get benched dkshhsgs)

See!!! He knows akaashi so well! He knew what he was thinking and also know how to stop these thoughts!

Okay I’m not sure if I’m doing things in the right order rn bc I for some reason cant open the website on my phone but whatever, we’ll continue lol. Bokuto’s advice here, the one he once received from a trainer, is so perfect for him! Don’t think about hardships and about trying to get better, just try to think in what way volleybal would be fun for you!

(BOKUTO LOVES LANGUAGE)

And in the end, Akaashi gets his groove back and Bo never doubted him for a second!

Prompt 296

Through a series of miscommunication, the League is now under the impression that Batman, strange cryptid that he is, may or may not have given birth to the other vigilantes running around in Gotham. This was not helped by Bruce referring to all of his children, no matter how big they get, as his babies. Nor was it helped by Red Robin, in the middle of a narcolepsy-fueled imminent crash, mentioned how he had no mother. 

It also doesn’t help that no one is aware that they are in fact completely normal people, and not aspects of Gotham itself brought to life. Though really that’s on the bats themselves, because at this point they should at least count as undead.

Why do you have to make up for being you?

Because I always let everyone down.

I love it when anime intros are just a bunch of different pictures of the mcs standing around in random places.

Like, “YEAH I’m standing on some STAIRS”

“And now I’m standing on a CRATE FOR SOME REASON”

“Look, I’m standing in a shop that never appears in the actual show”

“HAHA! Now im standing on a CHAIR”

“NOW LOOK! I’m standing on a ROOF with BROKEN TILES HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! I’m so cool.”

There’s a very specific type of antihero I’m noticing that loves committing atrocities for the heck of it, but figures out that their in-universe moral coding means they can only karmically get away with committing atrocities if it’s for their family (to save them, help them, etc).

And their response is to build the BIGGEST FOUND FAMILY EVER so they can get away with committing EXTRA ATROCITIES.

And it works.

God. What if Pandora didn’t want to open the box. What if she was manipulated, her hands tied to and guided by strings she couldn’t shake off. What if when she released the horrors out into the world, Hope chose to stay with her, in the box. What if Pandora couldn’t rid herself of that guilt. What if Hope couldn’t convince her that not all was lost, and that she wasn’t responsible for the strings around her hands. That she wasn’t a monster.

What if Pandora and Hope found a way to trap everything in the box again. What if Pandora couldn’t do it. What if she didn’t want anyone else to feel the guilt she did. What if she thought that trapping the horrors in the box would just doom everyone into the same cycle. What if she felt she had to break it by bearing the suffering of everyone else. What if Hope tried to convince her that it could be better. What if she wouldn’t save herself. What if Hope had to kill Pandora for a chance to save everyone, including her. What if they both were sealed in the box. What if no one ever knew what happened to them. What if their last words to the world and to each other were “I love you.”

What if the world ending was never Pandora’s fault, but in her guilt and grief she blamed herself for it, and the Hope that voluntarily stayed by her side had to take her life to save it.

What if?

Okay my crack theory for Lucy’s god situation:

What if instead of dying Lucy’s god became an archfey and fucked off, forsaking all of their followers. I could see that as justifiable for a minor god—maybe you don’t want your personality and existence to be dependent on a group of people small enough for a really big hurricane to wipe them out. Maybe you want to try your hand at self actualization, which you can’t really do as a god. Whatever.

But that would still mean Lucy’s grades would be screwed for the year, and the whole group would be switched to pass/fail.

Whatever god they’re trying to bring back seems like they want to stay a god, but would also only have a single living cleric so their nature would be heavily influenced by who that cleric is, and could still be controlled. Bringing back an established dead god with living followers probably reduces the risk of the god immediately dying or completely sucking ass/not being powerful like what happened with YES!(?), and we know the Ratgrinders LOVE minimizing risk. And choosing a dead god that represents something Lucy is actually passionate about preaching and proselytizing would make her work as a cleric much easier for her emotionally than, say, switching to Helio and just going through the motions, and bringing back a god would probably look good on college resumes.

Idk, that’s just an alternative theory to Lucy’s god dying based on what’s been established this season.

i will be totally honest with y’all i can’t see Hobie (ATSV) in a romantic relationship ever. like, i can’t see him seeing anybody ever as “the one” or even having multiple partners or anything. I can barely see him having friends outside of the ones he already has. I can somewhat see the “are we dating or are we not dating” thing being something he gets involved in, but not really. i think a lot of people either don’t know or just forget that he’s probably homeless and that his world is shit rn and that stuff he needs isn’t easy to come by 😭😭 and a lot of homeless people just don’t have time/energy for shit like romantic relationships and the stuff he’s doing canonically because they’re so focused on trying to survive. That’s why when I make posts about him casually flirting or whatever it’s never serious, it never goes anywhere, because honestly! Between music shows, trying to find your next meal, fighting the power, trying to find a shelter for the night, helping other homeless people and others in need as both a civilian and Spider-Man, dealing with dimensional threats, trying to find a place to get clean, i just don’t think Hobie has time to even consider it. Sure, maybe there are facilities in the HQ to make it easier, but after that stunt, i think he’d avoid using them as much as possible. do you see what i mean??

something about finding the people who sit through your info dumps with joy on their face and enthusiasm for your passions. something about finding the people who info dump right back at you because they know you love hearing about their passions. something about finding the people who manage to sum up your being in one niche, oddly specific sentence that lives in your mind rent free for the rest of time. something about finding the people who not only accept you for who you are but embrace you for who you are. who not only tolerate your quirks and differences but love and cherish them.
