Haikyuu boy headcanons: homework edition pt. 2

Asahi— studies the week before exams and the two nights before a test. Stresses himself out for no reason. Once lost an assignment and got an anxiety attack because he thought it would drop his grade for the rest of the year (it was in Suga’s bag because Asahi left it at Suga’s place the day before).

Nishinoya— only understands when explained to him by Ennoshita. Once tried to write a test on -27 hours of sleep and got 96%, but has been banned from doing so ever since.

Tsukishima— does his homework with zero griping or complaints unless he’s forced to do it with Hinata and Kageyama. Then he either never shuts up about how much he hates it or completely ignores the two until Yamaguchi kicks him hard enough.

Yamaguchi— likes homework. Actually likes it. Actually likes studying and learning new things. However he sleeps late because of this so Tsukishima makes him sleep over so he can make him quit studying earlier in the night.

Yahaba— super selective about what homework he likes to do. Will give his language and arts homework his 100%. Hates physics and maths. Good enough at his other two sciences that he can tutor everyone else in his grade.

Kyoutani— good at things with logic, so base level chemistry, math, physics, bio. Really into things with rules, ironically. Unfortunately hangs out at the local shelter with his bag unchecked and has had to tell teachers that dogs literally ate the homework out of his bag.

Shirabu— studies day and night and enjoys it to some extent. Hates his current level of biology so much. Hands in all his homework in on time and is honestly kind of a tryhard. Crashes out after tests only to find out that he did as well as everyone expected him to.

Taichi— doesn’t study unless Shirabu nags him to, but usually doesn’t process a thing. Good enough to get by without trying, and doesn’t try 90% of the time. Says he doesn’t care about his grades but wants them to be or above 80%.

Yaku— enjoys studying sciences but HATES liberal arts. Doesn’t understand the concept of studying art or history beyond techniques for painting or warfare. Has beef with psychology majors and has otherwise normal homework habits.

Lev— “wait, we had homework?!”

By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

Gas station, switching from English to Spanish.

Me, seeing the English disappear and reflexively expecting it to be French:
