Sugawara

First impression: Who
is this beautiful boy with the beauty mark? He’s so cute! And sweet!

Impression now: This
is one badass mo-fo who doesn’t take crap but dishes it like a boss! All while
still being the sweetest senpai but still putting those kohai in their place
when he needs to. So self-sacrificing and noble, like, ugh my heart. When he
had his talk with Ukai about not being the starting setter, my heart cracked a
little because he’s just so amazing! I just wanted to hug him!

Favorite moment: When
he comes out after Kageyama is losing his mind and getting too tense in the
Aoba Johsai match (“Mr. Refreshing” indeed!) The way he masterfully pulls
everyone back together and encourages them was so beautiful, it showed his
mental and emotional strength that makes him one of the pillars of the team.

Idea for a story: I’d
love to see Sugawara after high school, out on his own in the world and what
that would look like. What does he study in college? Where does he go? When he
meets his special girl, how does that go? Then at the end there’s a reunion
with the team. He’s always known what’s going on with them but now he has time
to get all the details.

Unpopular opinion: Daichi
and he are like brothers, not lovers. The closeness and fondness they share for
one another is built on mutual respect and multiple years of friendship.

Favorite relationship: I actually
really like his relationship with Kageyama because, again, we see him as the ultimate
senpai. He helps calm him down, instructs him without being an ass and
genuinely wants to see him succeed all while maintaining a healthy competitive streak because he does want to play as much as
he can before high school ends for him.

Favorite head canon: I saw
someone mention this (I think it was @haikyuulovercompany) and couldn’t’ get it
out of my head. One day he and Seta happen to be in the same café and discuss
the frustrations of being shown up by and benched because of a first year. I’d
love for someone to put that scene together and how the conversation would go.
Especially since it would most likely be after Karasuno beating them.

Kiyoshi

First impression: This
guy is a bit odd…but cute. And sweet. And a bit funny. Wait, he founded the Seirin basketball team?
Basically, I was like the first years lol.

Impression now: OMG, I
love him. I LOVE him! His quirkiness hides his cleverness. I love how he treats
the team as his family, like seriously, he’s BIG brother to a T! Noble and
good, just such an amazing leader on the court. Defender! He’s like the knight
of their team.

Favorite moment: Him
and Kagami blocking Murasakibara’s slam dunk together. Just, YES!

Idea for a story: I want
to see how him and Riko started dating! And what happened that made them decide
to stop. And for them to get back together (maybe because I do love Hyuga too).
What the hell, throw in a love triangle between them and see where it goes.

Unpopular opinion: I
don’t know that I have any unpopular opinions that aren’t related to ships so I’ll
just leave it at that.

Favorite relationship: I
love his friendship with Hyuga. Their dynamic is just funny but it works. He
draws the best out of the captain (whether Hyuga wants him to or not) and Hyuga
does the same for him.

Favorite head canon: That
he basically does become a big brother to Kuroko. He took that compliment to
heart and even though he’s no longer on the team and is away recuperating he
stays in contact through phone and email with his former teammate, offering
support and advice where he can and just generally being the standup guy he is.
