#hq reccs

[afterthelambs]

currently reading this haikyuu AU fic which is actually so stellar i cant believe it only has 7k hits??? this story is like an epic, ive cried like 3 times already. easily in the top 10 hq fics ive read so far 

[welcome-to-oslov]

Yay loving the reccs! I have a completely random and honestly not very good book to mention, but still: Arslan.

The entire book is meandering and reads as unfinished, let alone hard to keep track throughout. But, the character Hunt, like Tilrey, is hard to forget. It's the 70s in small town midwest, some random foreign warlord invades America & somehow takes over & sets up HQ in Hunt's town. To demonstrate his power, he goes to the school to pick from the local teens & takes two to rape on stage in front of the whole town: one girl & one boy. He discards the girl but likes Hunt so much, he immediately takes him captive. Hunt doesn't go off to Redda - they all stay in town - but he's completely torn from his entire world anyway, locked in a room at home with Arslan. One thing the book gets really right is how when he finally gets to go out, run into an old friend, see his father, he's met with rejection and shame. He hates Arslan and wants nothing more than to escape, but everyone looks at him at thinks he's to blame. It becomes a complicated relationship, one of his only ones, because what Arslan's done alienates him from everyone else.

Tbh I skipped I ton of the book because the main plot's overwrought & not worth it, but reading the first part for the Hunt story and then Hunt's own section lingers.

Whoa, how have I not heard of this before!? Just going by your description and the Goodreads page, this is the sort of bizarre book I’m fascinated with—and it’s from the 1970s! I’m going to look on Thrift Books for an old copy.

Your description reminds me a little of Samuel Delaney’s Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, which IIRC also has a really strong portrayal of the long-term effects of abuse on someone’s psyche, but I don’t remember much else except that it was weird vintage SF.

OTD in 1944 a single recce Mosquito from 544 Squadron left RAF Benson for Denmark to take photos of the Gestapo HQ in Aarhus in preparation for a pinpoint raid being planned by Basil Embry’s 2 Group - a response to a desperate request from the Danish resistance …

Haikyuu icons Pt 2

[blkjackals]

Allow me to make a quick case for Tsukihina;

Tsukishima (月島) - Moon Island

Hinata (日向) can be read as "place in the sun" or "sunny place".

日 means "day" or "sun" in Japanese

So Tsukki’s name pretty much means moon,,,, and Hinata’s means sun......

THATS LITERALLY FROM THE ANIME C’MON

ALSO LITTLE GIANT / AKITERU PARALELL GUYS

if ur looking for some tsukihina fics,,, uh

Sunshine, Moonlight and Serendipity by ReverieNishio (ao3)

The Perfect Balance by Stacysmash (ao3)

He’s Collecting Bugs on His Body; by tmntransformer (ao3)

[icestore]

Any1 got some cool anime reccs? I’m currently watching Given, FMA:B, Fire Force, HxH, BNHA, KNY, FT, Soul Eater, OHSHC, Anohana, BSD and Magi

BUT if anyone has reccs outside of those pls gimme I really like anime 🥺

[prettyboykatsuki]

Oooh, what are your favorite animes then??

*puts on my annoying weeb hat and cape on*

well since you asked..

i have watched many anime in my life because i didn't have any friends growing up and was on the internet for a long while b4 was normal so my list is a very very random fucking assortment of an me. my top ten is a mess but these r reccs where im like. if u think anime is lame.. Watch These

also this list won't include anime like hq, bnha, kny, aot, jjk, any of the big three or rlly anything that came out more recently i dont think since you probably already have seen those animes b4

ALSOO i didn't think it fit here but another anime i love is silver spoon - its a farming anime with a rag-tag group of characters and it's near and dear to me. my favorite slice of life ever.

tldr ;; if you don't wanna go through the list, number 3, 8, 9, and 10 are the must watches imo.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER,

ARI'S ANIME RECCOMENDATIONS!

PLEASE PROCEED W CAUTION AND LOOK UP WARNINGS - a lot of these are super dark!!

1. baccano - a fast-paced non-linear mafia anime that follows the storylines of several interesting and charismatic characters in the prohibition era in the states. has elements of surrealism and gets pretty violent albeit it's a little slapstick. i think this anime is fucking fantastic. think the story-telling is brilliant and interesting.

2. zankyou no terror - a psychological anime about two japanese teenagers responsible for a giant terror attack using a robot named sphinx. despite the title and the intial episodes - zankyou no terror is not an anime about terrorism but about politics and reflections. its really great but i can't tell you much about it without spoiling it.

3. inuyashiki - this anime is a fucking mess and it is incredibly dark. the same death note air but with a lot more sarcasm and black humor slash comedy. the gist is that two men encounter robotic powers. while the older of the two mcs finds that being responsible and heroic is important despite his pathetic life - the younger more apathetic one immediately starts fucking killing people. 😭. home to the iconic "do you watch one piece scene."

4. psycho pass - one of the first animes i ever watched and im genuinely really elated that ppl are watching it. about a society where everyone's thoughts and feelings are carefully monitored and how that reflects onto their careers and lives in general. very dark and has a lot of content warnings, but it's great.

5. durarara - this is a very biased opinion but i think this is one of the best animes ive ever watched. i couldn't pin why. i think the cast of characters is absolutely stunning but i also enjoyed it a lot conceptually. it's a gang anime with supernatural elements but it's honestly hard to explain other than that. still so fucking good though.

6. say 'i love you' - this is a random one i know. but it's a romance anime between a subdued highschool girl and a popular highschool guy. seems very generic but the characters and world-building are real and raw and every single person has a story. from a writers perspective it's brilliant and yamato was a childhood crush for me. there's a lot of discussion with one character about eating disorders as an fyi but god. god. we deserved another season but the manga is good too.

6a. honorable mention on great romance anime is maid-sama. don't let the cover fool you - our main lead is a badass but she works at a maid-cafe. one of her classmates happens to catch her. very sincere romance that i highly reccomnd.

7. cowboy bebop - this anime is literally a classic, so i don't feel like i have to tell you to watch it. probably one of the greatest animes that will ever exist. space cowboys kickin' ass and a goddamn fucking banger if i've ever seen it. of everything here - a must watch.

7a. honorable mention - gintama. one of the funniest animes ive ever seen but it's hella long. hijikata is goddamn funny though.

8. samurai champloo - this is . ONE if not THEE best fucking animes you'll ever fucking watch. this anime is witty, charming, historical - with an iconic cast of characters and some of the most funny and wholesome interactions you'll ever witness. mugen is cynical and badass and his dialogue and swords skill will keep you engaged no matter what. essentially two samurai and a waitress end up being fugitives in edo-period japan and it's just so fucking fantastic. please watch it.

8a. honorable mention - afro samurai. similar samurai concept with the coolest mc you've ever met. more shounen-y if that's your thing.

9. mushi-shi - this anime changed my life. no joke. this anime is probably my number one influence on me as a person and as a writer. it is slow-paced and episodic and it follows the story of a man named ginko. mushi are the main element in the world, they are small creatures that can't be seen to everyone. this is one of the best animes ever imo. it's not for everyone but if you like something a little more subdued and sentimental - please check it out.

10. steins gate - this anime is probably one of the only animes that people universally agree on being a must watch. follows the story of a mad scientist and talks about subjects of time travel and a secret society. the execution of the tropes in the show are done flawlessly. objectively one of the best on the list. very.. melancholy? psychological? but so fucking good. a good watch if you liked death note or psycho pass.

THIS WAS SOOO hard to write. im sure no one cares but this list is very near and dear to my heart with anime i think is fucking incredible. if you give even one of these a watch - please talk to me about it!!! i have so many more even w/o the honorable mentions but yes... Yes.

Do you have any fluffy DaiSuga recs?

Hellooo dear one, boy oh boy, have I got the goods for you.

First, I’d like to remind everyone that I have written one (1) tiny, 758 word DaiSuga drabble and while it references more mature themes (tw for referenced alcohol use, referenced dub/con, referenced violence, none of it ever depicted), it ultimately ends in love and goodness and everyone, especially Daichi, taking care of Suga.

BUT ALSO you should totally check out @ellessey-writes (AO3 here) who is basically the local expert and final say on all things DaiSuga. Lots of good fluff, lots of good writing in general. Pretty much everything she writes is what you would want from DaiSuga. Just pay attention to the tags when you’re searching through her stuff for all the fluff! (Hah...that rhymed...I’m a poet...)

And honestly, there’s a lot of good writing here on tumblr and over at AO3. Do some digging, and you may find an author you really like! Go read widely and vastly, and find those fanfics you’ll remember for a long time

Fight on!

If you want academic rivals to lovers with kuroo then you should check out Nikki from @/amjustagirl. It’s a long fic and next chapter is coming out Monday/Tuesday. Series is called: build your castles in the air (bring them back into the ground). They also have other long fics for hq charas in the same universe

It’s on ao3 as well: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35383372/chapters/88192939

I actually hate kuroo ❤ least favorite character in the show.

however thank you for the recc- I will read this and enjoy it 💗💗💗💗💗

hi stella your twitter showed in my reccs on my private twitter over our new president's official account and for a second I thought his bio said "proshippers dni"

HELP MEEE maybe this is true maybe the president has a hq side twitter and is masquerading as someone named stella online
