i’ve been waiting!!!! haikyuu!! & FMA

Haikyuu

Oh boy my precious volleyball baes! I still
cannot believe the level of obsession I fell into with this show. Fun fact, I
only started watching it because I heard some of the music on an anime play
list. It was so amazing that I had to find out what it was from. Then when I
did I laughed because – really, an anime
about high school volleyball!! – And thus began my love for it and other
sports anime. Hehe. PS all of these will be SUPER hard to answer because I have
too many favorites and I’ve watched through the anime probably four times but I
will try to be accurate lol.

  • The first
    character I first fell in love with:     Fell
    in love with…probably Asahi. Once he showed up and we learned his back story I
    was all for the glass hearted ace. 
  • The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: This is a toss up between Oikawa and Tsukishima. Both of
    them are such BRATS but when I watched season 3 I was cheering my head off for
    Tsukki (of course, who wasn’t) and was so
    damn proud     of him I think I might have cried. With Oikawa, it was during my
    second watch through (and a few reader insert fics under my belt that I read)
    that really got me paying more attention to him as more than just the “villain”. 
  • The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Ooooo…tough one. I haven’t read the manga so I’m
    limited somewhat and honestly, I can’t think of any from the anime that I see
    getting TONS of love that I don’t like. 
  • The character I love that everyone else hates: The only one that comes to mind is Yui and it’s usually
    because of ship fanatics but I tend to avoid the drama in the tags and so haven’t
    actually come across hate. I just know about it on the fringe.  
  • The character I used to love but don’t any longer: I legit still love pretty much all of them. I
    know that seems like an avoidance but I really do like/love them all. 
  • The character I would totally smooch: Daichi, his voice is…just damn
  • The character I’d want to be like: Tanaka. Sure he’s a bit brash but his confidence, strength
    and abilities are to be admired. He is actually a really amazing senpai. 
  • The character I’d slap: on the back…all of them LOL
  • A pairing that I love: It’s been shown in my reblogs that I’m a
    Yachi with…pretty much anyone fan but the biggest are her and any of the first
    years of Karasuno (they all work with her somehow, help) or Kuroo or Bokuto
    because SIZE DIFFERENCE MY HEART CAN’T TAKE HOW CUTE!!!
  • A pairing that I despise: Despise is too harsh a word but in general I do
    not ship the boys with each other. It’s just never something I’ve seen so it can
    grate on my nerves when people insist certain pairings are canon…when they aren’t…at
    all.

FMA

I’ve watched both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal
Alchemist: Brotherhood and enjoy both but Brotherhood is my prefer series. Also
another series with TOO MANY CHARACTERS TO LOVE!!!

The first
character I first fell in love with: Alphonse,
his earnest trust and belief in his brother, his desire to help and protect
others, his deep love for his friends and family.  

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: GREED!!!! Oh my gosh, especially when he takes
over Ling’s body (spoil alert?) and they have the whole dynamic in his head. I
just…his character is so much more
than you think when he firsts shows up and I freaking love it! Also, oddly
enough, Barry the Chopper?

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Honestly? Can’t think of any. I’m not active in
the fandom per se so I don’t know who this could possibly be. Unless there are
those who “love” Father? Then it’d be him because that bastard…ugh…that bastard…

The character I love that everyone else hates: Again, no points of reference….are there people
who hate Edward or Alphonse? lol

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Bradley before I knew what he was. I thought
he was pretty cool and a good leader…heh… had me fooled too.

The character I would totally smooch: Havoc!!!! I just love that idiot! LOL

The character I’d want to be like: Winery!! Beautiful, smart, brave and a mechanic!


The character I’d slap: Any of the Homunculi except Greed LOL

A pairing that I love: Winery x Edward, Mustang x Riza

A pairing that I despise: Don’t have one I think

Thanks for asking!!!

for the last reblog, I LOVE HOW IMPORTANT CHARACTERIZATION IS TO YOU. i feel as if you actually think about every line you put down. that coupled with your ability to understand a character well, makes for good dialogue. also, good structure! i also like your writing style as well. it flows soooooo god damn well, bro. (also i sent you an ask yesterday as well. hopefully you got it :/)

I’m grinning so wide like you have no idea! Maybe the above is why it takes me so damn long to finish pieces but I guess in the long run it’s a good thing because if this is how people feel about them, then that make me happy. 

Thank you so much, seriously. This was so much what I needed to hear because for so many months I’ve felt like words are stuck in a sludge in my brain and it’s so damn hard to get them out in a way that feels coherent or clear. 

I’m always thrilled when readers feel I’ve gotten characters’ tones and voices correct because it’s important to me. Sure, it’s fun to play around with options and just be silly or out there, but overall I want the characters to sound like the people they were literally created to be and so knowing I accomplish that is so gratifying. 

Thank you for taking the time to let me know! 

Also, it’s been really fun discussing characters with you! 🙂

imagineaominesdeltoids replied to your post:
thank you for the reblog and the…

i like “emotionless” characters like kuroko because even though it leaves so little room to pick and choose what really sets them off or what their motives are in certain situations, when you do find a loophole and pull their emotions to the forefront in a complex way, it’s so worthwhile. it’s just a little harder to do and takes a little longer for me anyway
and as for mr. aomine. yeah. his heart a c h e s when he’s heartbroken. he seems like a person that values intimacy soooo much on the low.

That’s a very good point. It offers a deep well of exploration but you have to be careful how far down you go so that they don’t turn ooc. 

I feel like Tukishima Kei from Haikyuu is like that in some ways. I mean, to a point he does show his emotions but he’s so hard and guarded and salty that writing him soft is challenging because you have to really dig to understand how, where, when and why he would let that guard down. It’s a beautiful thing because it’s new and can be unexpected but has to be handled with correct timing. 

Same with Murasakibara. Emotions are there, clearly, but he’s so steadfast in his hate of over exertion or “wasted” effort that deeper more visceral emotions are more challenging to portray for him. 

And of course there’s Midorima, the tsundere brat lol. Balance, balance, balance. 

thank you for the reblog and the compliment/feedback :):) and about the kuroko one thank you for your honesty. really. it’s so appreciated. kuroko is such a complex character in my opinion and i try to stray away from writing him very straight and narrow bc i think that’s what his canon character provides without paying close attention to his depth but at the same time i never want to reach so much that my interpretation of him becomes ooc, you know?

You’re welcome. Honestly, it made me really think and I believe you’re correct, he is much more complex than he’s written most of the time. 

Granted, I haven’t actually read a ton with him (which is ironic because he’s the title character) but he’s just not as popular for reader inserts and I don’t really read ship fics. 

I haven’t written him very much either because of the lack of requests for him but yeah, I had to read it and re-read it and think about how he is in the anime (never read the manga) and it made more sense to me than it did the first time I read it through. 

I also failed to mention that I TOTALLY agree with you about Aomine. 

He is not one who would get into a committed relationship lightly, so to have someone betray him like that would damage him hard.
