Oscar: You’ve been extra quiet lately, is everything alright? [Robin shrugs a shoulder, saying nothing] Oscar: New babies sure take up a lotta time n’ attention, don’t they? [Robin nods] Oscar: Mama n’ papa still love you just as much, I promise… [Robin raises a tiny brow, and Oscar’s heart almost breaks in two] Oscar: You’ll always be our special little guy, okay? Don’t ever forget that. [Oscar’s sincerity doesn’t go unnoticed by Robin, who finally smiles back at his papa] Oscar: They won’t be so needy forever; it’ll be fun before you know it! [Robin traces a finger down his cheek to mimic a tear. Confusing to some perhaps, but Oscar’s well versed in Robin’s little “language” by now] Oscar: [laughs] Babies do tend to cry a lot. [Robin prods a finger to his chest, “did I do that?”] Oscar: No, actually.. you’ve always been pretty chill. [Robin grins, maybe he’s proud of himself] Oscar: Hey, you wanna come to the store n’ help me pick out some stuff for your new room? [Robin nods vigorously] Oscar: I thought you might. Oscar: It shouldn’t take too long-.. you sure you want that one? You get dibs on any room you want. [Robin offers a resolute nod, he’s sure] Oscar: It’s cosy, huh? And it’s got the best view. … [Robin glances at Oscar questioningly, wondering why he stopped] Oscar: I think we’re gonna need a bigger car, don’t you? [Robin stares blankly at Oscar, the logistics of how many children you can fit in a car being lost on him] Oscar: I reckon I know someone who might appreciate a little gift. Wanna take a detour? [Robin nods, “sure, why not?” He’ll go anywhere with his pappy] Oscar: [chuckles fondly] Cool as a cucumber, ain’tcha? Let’s go.

how I think CANON kageyama really thinks about romance based on facts

This is more on just character analysis and observation but this is all speculation because if I'm being honest as a former Haikyuu x reader writer, I think he is the most mischaracterized and has potential for a different type of x reader, rather than typical romance.

Also I'm saying this as a Kageyama fan! This is just my thoughts jotted down hehe

I don't think Kageyama really had the chance to experience romance. Ever. I mean I could be wrong but based on what we we've seen there wasn't really time for it or even a single mention on it

Though given multiple chances to show it, he never showed any outright attraction to anyone outside of volleyball. Obviously this is not a shojo manga, it's a sports one but there are still multiple times where some sort of attraction has been shown towards characters.

He is unfazed by Kiyoko in a season 1 scene, he never fawns over any of the managers the way other characters do. (The only exception is when Saeko introduces herself and he and Hinata get excited) this isnt rly important tho, a lot of character dont do this

the only time he has ever been excited or passionate is when it comes to volleyball, the very reason why he stuck so close to hinata in the first place (this could argue for kagehina ((so true)) but that's a separate post lol)

HOWEVER he's also not repulsed by attraction towards him, as shown in the bonus chapter when he's aware that he and Atsumu are referred to by fans as the "Ikemen Players" and that people watch him for that; he says he's all for it because it get's people into volleyball

But the CORE REASON on why I think he never thought about romance is because he outright states in season 4 that he's not good at emotion, and his past. He likely does not know the feeling and even with friends he was still learning on friendship, but he wants to learn! (that's probably why he was so keen on asking oikawa for help in kitagawa-daichii)

Anyway so conclusion as an x reader writer, would he be datable? I mean it's not impossible. After all we hardly see his life outside of volleyball, it would just be challenging, just like getting him to play on a team. In fact it would even be cute to see him think about it.

I wrote all this bc I think it would be interesting to see this kageyama in fics, instead of the usual tsundere/constantly getting mad and embarrassed ver of him (me,,I used to write him like this,,,)

Now how would I write canon Kageyama off with staying true to his given character as much as possible?

I think he would be very calm and nonchalant about it. They've shown us that he's very aware of his emotional weaknesses in understanding but that he's ALWAYS willing to try and connect with others.

So while I think he can most definitely live his life without romance, I think that he is bound to think about it at least once and contemplate it. He might even be open to trying it for the sake of trying something that's so common with others, but in my opinion he will always love volleyball more than anything else, and that's not a terrible thing at all.

Little addition to the talk about Oscar's PR management and pushing Lily a bit more into the light.

I agree with everything the other anon said but I'd like to add how it also means they are portraying Lando and Oscar differently.

Clearly, along the 2023 season we saw McLaren media leans more and more towards the slightly shippy "Landoscar" theme.

Not in a too obvious way but there were little nods towards the ship.

In 2024, we still got some little things (the picture from Barcelona, the "Osc", etc...) but it's more subtle, more leaning between shipping and friendship.

And for me it goes along with the want to picture Oscar as someone reliable and serious by showing is relationship with Lily more and also having him involved in other activities (like the Reef thing).

They are slowly letting us know that Oscar is more than just a driver and a cute boy. He has a personality, interests and a life outside of the track.

As a shipper, I hope we will soon get more funny Landoscar content to play with.

As someone interested in communication and marketing, I love trying to understand what is happening behind the scenes!

I totally see that and tbh it fits with him hiring a social media manager that AND the Andrea press release about changing their media duties around. tho the intention they gave for that was for Oscar and Lando to have more down time which hasn't actually happened bc they've both stayed just as busy but separately.

I have an anon I'm sitting on bc there's a LOT to address and some of it feels a little too .... idk tricky. but their point was that McLaren want to renege a bit on the whole 'Lando and Oscar doing everything for the team and not being in competition with each other' now that McLaren is officially up there fighting consistently for podiums and the top 3 or 4 championship spots. that splitting them up more in terms of media duties COULD be a way of creating space for them to have if not a full on rivalry then a Charles and Carlos type of competition.

the thing is that Lando and Oscar on their own keep saying how much they work together and share data and have the same needs for the car etc and that they want healthy motivation between each other.

but also I think for anyone who's had to work in a committee or be a part of regular team meetings there's also got to be the reality of someone coming in and saying 'let's change things up!' to maybe keep their job or stand out and it ends up being sort of a mess and maybe the old system was actually just fine alsfgjlsagfhljsfa it's truly possible that this whole Reputation era revamp is going to prove to be a mistake or that it's just not being very well executed.

bc I can't say that pulling Oscar away from Lando is ever going to work well for him when Oscar just isn't interested in being The Guy. he wants to show up and do his job and compete and then go home lol. so it ends up that not only do fans not get the fun teammate content they've come to expect from McLaren with the previous two teammates, it also means that super motivated Lando is maximizing on every opportunity and becoming a bigger star on his own - while Oscar has to struggle to meet the media's needs for energy and dynamism without having someone he knows he can bounce off of. the Esteban RC car thing was just... ok lol. that's not what any of us would like to see him spending his time filming. the Great Barrier Reef thing is nice but it's not the same as Seb or Lewis bc as Oscar even said he only ever really knew much about the issue from school. and most of Oscar's life is spent away from that issue and away from Australia. (he even kinda said that it was a great side benefit of being able to stay in Australia longer and have Lily involved instead of heading right back to MTC)

fundamentally, Oscar wants to have more time for his private life and he doesn't want to broadcast it- and I think that if they simply dropped the silly challenges and just gave Lando and Oscar a topic in a free moment and filmed it then Oscar could have more time away from filming and we as fans would get Lando and Oscar's real relationship that's fun and cute but without them feeling awkward at being told to dance and perform. the whole thing would be way less pressure for both Oscar and Lando.

remember, Lando isn't naturally like that! Carlos and Daniel learned that PR bromance game early in their careers and play it well but Lando follows their lead and basically reacts to them! early 2019 Lando was basically a featherless little chick watching Carlos with big eyes and squawking at how funny he was but he was sooooo nervous and twitchy about being on camera until he learned to copy Carlos' humor and bounce it back to him.

so genuinely when Lando and Oscar are just allowed to talk normally, it takes less time than setting up for elaborate challenges and they'd both feel more relaxed and get more time off.

Please share some fluffy headcanons about Brador and Laurence! 🥺 like that cute fanart you did.

I love this ship so much, you don't understand...

🩸 Laurence is 5'2'' (157 cm) and Brador is 6'1'' (185 cm). That's it, that's the headcanon. xd Big height difference kills me..... But also, sometimes Brador would lift up and hold Laurence when he is not tall enough to look in the eyes to whoever he is having a sass battle with ;-; xDDD (Also please validate my heights headcanons post ( x ). Initially he was gonna be 5'0'', but my friend said it was impossible to take seriously, so I had to elongate him a bit hdhfhdsfd)

🔒 Brador is apologizing and enabling Laurence to a, perhaps, unhealthy degree. He believes that everyone should know their place in this world, but for him Laurence is MEANT to shape history and do great things. He trusts in his methods and end goals completely, and will "stay by his cancelled boyfriend's side" no matter what Laurence does. Hell- If someone manages to interest Brador past Laurence being gone, liking Laurence will be the demand for dating Brador. You can't forgive some of the shit he did "for the betterment of humanity"? SHRUUUUGGG.

🩸 Okay, okay, sorry for going the dark side when we are talking specifically about 'fluffy' things. That's just how Brador is. xd But yes, he will often follow Laurence like a shadow, stand near him and scare anyone that tries to argue with Laurence with his glare. In fact, most people do not even know he is an assassin, simply assuming he is one of the most frequently seen bodyguards of Laurence. You've also seen that I give Brador a big cool cape in the era before he got the cleric beast hyde, but Brador will often try to get Laurence under his cape in an attempt to keep him even 'more' warm and safe- especially when they are walking on a chilly day. It embarrasses Laurence a little, being seen on public coddled by his "servant" (as far as society is aware) like that. He is the high-ranking holy figure! But he never denies Brador in doing this.

🔒 In the case of other displays of reverence/affection/both on public, like kissing his hand, complimenting him a bit too much, fixing his hair and kissing his forehead afterwards, etc Laurence is not really shy. On the contrary - if some people DO give the 'hmmm is that appropriate for the holy figure and some gremlin that just body guards him tho?' look, Laurence will simply smugly comment that they should watch this and learn how he SHOULD be treated xd

🩸 When Laurence is feeling tense, nervous, guilty or straight up scared (yes, shockingly, that can happen), and Brador is near - he will hold his hand tight, often not even realising it. It makes Brador melt, though, no matter what situation prompted that.

🔒 There would actually be a long period of Laurence not even realizing Brador's true feelings towards him, thinking that they are just close friends and Brador's constant gestures of affection, gifts, kisses, protectiveness etc were just a normal thing. Me and Val are joking that he is blind to all this, yet when Ludwig as much as distracts for like 2 seconds from his precious sword to look at him - that toooootally means he's secretly in love for him dsfhhfds There is a lot of humour we both added about this ship, but on a more serious note, you could tell that Laurence has been taking Brador for granted...? Brador would have to actually step over his passive, obedient simping and get assertive just once, to make Laurence reflect on their past and UNDERSTAND already. He'd feel guilty for it, but it would actually be worth it... When Laurence would be forced to reflect on their past, it would hit him how loyal, trustworthy and unwavering Brador has been, how many things they've shared, and he would just.. Figure out maybe he loves him too? Maybe suddenly developing feelings based on how much a person loves him and how much he did for him, rather than on who he 'is' is a bit questionable, but the way Kris put such things - "how much person is willing to do for someone they love can also indicate their personality, so it is not the shallow attraction that you assume it is" ...maybe? And in any case, they would be happy together regardless, and this is what counts.

🩸 They were hugging and kissing even before actual relationship, though! Simply because Laurence did not even know how to kiss and had no partner before Byrgenwerth era (ie before meeting Brador that was around there).. so he asked Brador to assist him in practising how to do that as a close friend.

🔒 Laurence often sits on Brador's lap, while they're looking through documents, reports etc together and discuss them.

🩸 @val-of-the-north mentioned that already, but we decided that in the Nightmare, Brador projects his phantom near Laurence's beast to "talk" to him ( x ), tricking himself into thinking that Laurence still can understand his words. It is bittersweet, yeah. Also, if whatever curious hunter closing in on Church's secrets happens to have hair or eyes similar to Laurence's when he was a human, Brador will actually sob and hold his victim with varying levels of talking detached from reality - from asking to just 'let him have it a bit longer' to straight up saying 'I thought I've lost you forever'. Before inevitably killing them, that's it, but he is depressed as fuck past the point of having to mercy-kill Laurence himself.

🔒 Eh, I told you that Laurence starts wearing a crown after Cainhurst falls (he had crown in cut content, actual name of Sage's Hair item is 'Skull of a Saint', Church replaces monarchy's authority, etc ( x )). Past that period, Laurence always keeps the crown on during........ things. Brador loooooves it, though. Yeah it is not as funny as 'Mensis Cage stays ON!', but still SOMEwhat funny in my opinion. x)

🩸 There were a few times Laurence would ask Brador to wear something he normally would not, like robes of Executioners or just high-ranking Clerics, simply because he would like to see how it looked on Brador. And one time when he asked Brador to shave his beard a bit and wear glasses. He actually found Brador with very short facial hair, glasses and in robes looking very hot. I wonder fucking why....... I reeeeeally wonder why is that, huh..... -_-"

🔒 Also, that headcanons post was sorta ancient, but still relevant I think? That Brador actually secretly has a great taste and artistic skills, and he was the one to design the sigil used on Healing Church's holy shawl, and has been helping with the outfits designs enough. Not to mention being inventive no less than Gehrman with tools and weapons. Laurence reposted it with credit to the original artist, of course, but he really appreciates his talent.

🩸 Brador has quite an amount of scars on his body from having been stabbing himself with the Bloodletter, that Laurence likes to kiss good whenever he can spot new ones appeared. Also, because of the specifics of Brador's weapon, he of course has quite the iron-deficiency. Hmmm ok like, you know how an old lady will see you being too thin and gasp at how malnourished you are and insist on feeding you 5000 homemade meals? Laurence is like this but with seeing how Brador clearly needs to consume more blood, straight up going green from losing too much of it xddd He will basically insist on giving him more blood like a tea in his concern.

_______________________

Okay, look, I really tried to make it fluffy and cute, but I don't know how xd They are somewhat hard to take seriously because they are SILLY! They also love being haters together about some people within the Healing Church they're not particularly in kahoots with, or about 'antagonists' (like Caryll or some of the particularly distrustful Old Hunters Gehrman was not able to talk). And they just love doing SILLY things!

Thank you for the ask, though. However.....

Please just pause a little bit fdshfhds-

Hello, can I request a reaction for kirishima, hawks, shinso and bakugo (or just one of them your choice) to their SO being really shy and nervous about physical affection because they've never done anything like that before even though they're an adult?

reactions to reader being shy with physical affection

* characters: eijirou kirishima, keigo takami, hitoshi shinsou, katsuki bakugou

* genre: flufff, oh god so much of it

* words: 622

* warnings: none, other than hawks being a Birb but not too intense uwu

* a/n: i realize that this is just furthering my subconscious Kirishima Best Boyfriend agenda NSNSNSNS. also, shinsou's part is like half a scenario bc imagination takes ya places :P special thanks to @toishi for proofreading, and i hope you enjoy!

eijirou

when kirishima was younger, he got into the habit of not coming into close contact much with people, as he couldn't control his quirk well and didn't want to hurt people

when he got to ua, and managed it more and more, he slowly eased into being a bit more touchy - resting his head on a shoulder, putting his arm around someone

so he'd understand more how to ease you into pda, having gone through a similar process himself

very casual touches, slinging an arm around your shoulder, leaning on your shoulder

without you realizing, it became habitual between you too; they weren't necessarily romantic, but were just a part of your relationship

this, you realized, kind of eased you into more affectionate touches

would probably be more affectionate in private before doing it in public just so you feel safe and comfortable ^^

keigo

hawks + pda? yes.

this lil birb will also wrap his wings around you during cuddle sessions !! how soft !!

first, he'd be concerned if you were uncomfortable about it; wings can be thick nd hot, or maybe the texture was itchy??

he made sure to groom those babies but you never know *shrug*

once you've established that you're not really used to cuddles/touching like that, he'll do small things at first

holding hands, soft kisses on the cheek, stroking your hair, always asking your permission first

occasionally he'll go feral and attempt to scent you, but birb has good self-control

if you're okay with it.,.. he will definitely try to scent you though would definitely not at first (it's intense)

"dove, can i hug you?" 

really soft affirmations like that

"it's okay, don't worry, you can keep doing what you're doing~"

backhugs while you're reading/cooking/anything

backhugs + wings if you're okay with it!! 

hitoshi

he's more casual about it

netflix and chill? nah, you've got napping and cuddles!!

lazy sundays... cuddles all day...

he honestly wouldn't ask you to do much

just allow him to hold you, and it's okay

his presence is ~~naturally calming~~ 

he won't be big on pda (probably sticking to subtle things)

shinsou is the cuddle god, so all he'll ask of you is to fall into his touch 

he'll constantly ask if you're comfortable with cuddles, tho

your experience and comfort comes first

...i ended up writing a lil thing for him, here you are~

"wh-what are you doing?" you ask, as shinsou wraps his arms around you, resting his chin on your shoulder.

"cuddles," he says, nuzzling into your body warmth.

"cuddles," you repeat, unsure of what exactly to do with your body with a pro-hero attached to it. you feel stiff and awkward, looking around to find something to do. you play with your fingers for what feels like a mortal eternity before shinsou answers, voice raspy.

"what, don't tell me you've never gotten cuddles before?"

you flush. "n-not really," you confess.

"it's easy," he says. he leans into your touch, closing his eyes. "jus' let me love you like this, 'nd it'll be alright."

katsuki

he really wouldn't think much of it

he's not a touchy guy!! and anyway exploding your lover might kinda ruin the mood

not very romantic 

he's lowkey touch-starved, but will only realize if you attempt to initiate cuddles/touchy stuff

honestly, you're in the same boat here KSNSJXJX

to the bakusquad, it's kinda cute to see how you both struggle to initiate contact

awkward hand brushes as you two walk together and look away everytime your fingers make contact; it's like you're in middle school all over

you'd probably end up locking pinkies ngl and kaminari would laugh his butt off 

you'll figure it out!! just give it some time uwu
