— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (via lunamonchtuna)
The real unsung hero in AFTG was Nickys high school teacher who saw how depressed he was becoming and decided that he needed to be as far away from his parents as he could get.
Me? Fucking sobbing over Kevin Day’s mistreatment by the Foxes? Oof, yeah.
hc that the fandom usually makes oikawa this self-centered, arrogant ho who LOVES taking selfies but that couldn’t be further from the truth? in reality oikawa’s just as or even more insecure than the other characters. his camera roll even shows that he loves his nephew more than pictures of himself. he constantly pushes and overworks himself, blinded by his own thoughts of having to defeat ushiwaka, surpass tobio-chan, etc. he puts on a charming, confident smile for his fans but later, when he’s alone with iwaizumi, he pours everything out. iwa is the only person to really take him seriously, not as a competitor or a superior, but as a friend. iwa’s aggressive comments aren’t there to make him feel worse, but are literally words to force oikawa into believing in his talented, powerful, intelligent, and caring self.
he worked SO HARD and pushed himself to his limits to defeat karasuno. he hardly sleeps and got injured, but would do it all for volleyball. he’s such a talented and dedicated player with a dream of defeating his longtime rival, ushiwaka, but it all got crushed by the team of his former kouhai: someone he envies too. that match against karasuno was his last to prove that going to aoba johsai wasn’t a mistake. he was so close to meeting his rival again on the court, only to be defeated before that chance. he’s no doubt one of the most talented and smart people who deserved to experience more and go to nationals. nothing would make him happier than his efforts not being wasted.
also, the fact that the last point of karasuno was because oikawa tried to receive the ball but failed is DEVASTATING. if it had worked, he could have saved his team and his pride. he could do so much more; he was incredible as a player and was a great person in general as he was able to bring out the best in whatever team he was on. he was SO CLOSE to winning and he exerted so much, god, in playing volleyball, a sport he genuinely loved. oikawa tooru deserved to go to nationals and more and u can fuckin fite me on this if u disagree
also he and iwa are going to different universities which means that oikawa doesn’t have anyone he can really trust to get him out of a tight spot. iwa was his go-to person to set to when the receive was off or their opponents were particularly hard to play against. his volleyball career may not be over, and god i hope it isn’t, but he will never feel that same comfort again when playing as compared to when he was with the person he trusted most.
tl;dr oikawa tooru deserves better and his efforts shouldn’t have gone to waste
You know what I hate? That Nora is still out there. Acting like Kevin would still be an alcoholic who gets smashed on his birthday instead of eating burnt toast his daughter made him for breakfast in bed and trying to brush off all the glitter off his shirt from the card she made just for him.
Nora doesnt have custody of Kevin anymore. I do. The tea is Kevin gave up alcohol years before becoming a father and he has his daughter’s card framed and keeps it in his locker at court.

Capitalism at its best. Some role models we should all consider. I am a fan of Hagen Daz, but after reading this, I need to get me some Cherry Garcia!
Bravo to your Katsuki is not allowed to be weak (if he is he dies) post. That’s actually why I sometimes have to take a break from reading fanfics we’re adults berate him for his mindset and for not coming forward and handling the fall outs of these incidents himself. Bc canon shows us Katsuki was never offered the chance, was never viewed that way. It isn’t just his pride hindering him, it is the world that continues to fail him. And he doesn’t fault the world for it -he fights to protect it.
You know what bothered me about the Licensing Exam / Provisional Training Arc?
Katsuki fails his exam because of the rescue aspect. He fails because he doesn’t go help people and focuses on trying to fight the villain instead. He assumes those people will get themselves to safety, and he’s punished for that.
But isn’t that exactly what’s been done to him, time and time again? No wonder he thinks that’s how a hero is supposed to behave, that’s how heroes have always behaved towards him. 6 pro heroes, “good” pro heroes showed up to the Sludge Villain fight. Nobody did shit to save him, and they forced/expected him to it handle on his own for ages until Izuku got involved and All-Might saved them both.
The kidnapping was even worse. There were, what, ten pros involved? Not low ranking pros either, these were all supposed to be the best of the best.
And once again, none of them do shit to save him.
The heroes break into the bar, they get the villains restrained, and then... they just pause. All-Might was literally right there. Gran Torino was right there. Either of them, fuck, anyone could’ve grabbed Katsuki and gotten him the hell out of the bar. That’s absolutely what they should’ve done. Their priority should’ve been getting the child whose been kidnapped for 2 days now, off the battlefield and to a safe location. But it wasn’t, and they didn’t.
I’m not saying Katsuki should’ve passed his exam, he shouldn’t have, but god, I’m a bit miffed that it’s never really acknowledged/dealt with that Katsuki was only mimicking the way he’s been treated by a dozen or so pros.
The double standard is something I want to explore at some point. Not just about the rescue aspect, but also stuff like the sports festival. I’ve got a few vague ideas for it, and it’s gonna show up in the forced family au in a few forms, but I’m still not sure exactly how I wanna tackle it.
☕️and I think that the foxes winning the championship thing and literally going from zero to hero was a lot of Kevin’s doing. Of course it was team work but i mean they thanked Neil like a 100 times for bringing the team together which ist completely valid but Kevin did a lot on the training part , the raven drills etc but ok I could talk forever about Kevin not being appreciated enough ☕️
Kevin did so much for them but all they want to focus on is Neil 😤
It took a while but it’s finally done.
