throwing this here bc i dont have anyf riends who are up2date with hq’s manga/follow the manga closely so it was hard to talk about it in dept without spoiling them or borign the hell out of the rest of them PLUSS i wanted to word dump my Feelings before it inevitably fades :((

when EXACTLY i started hq i dont have any idea!!!! but it was probably around when season 1 of the anime started????? i was 13 and i in a sports club in school too so when i heard about it from a friend i was like hell yea and that was how it started. the friend who introduced it to me later lost interest but i was still going strong even after i graduated and stopped playing sports

idk man!!!!!!! hq ending right now is just so OOF bc its been w me since i had the word ‘teen’ in my age????? all the way until the end????? i turned 20 yesterday??????? thirTEEN to nineTEEN then when i reached twenty it was over....................

reading haikyuu as this loser kid really helped. haikyuu was about a bunch of kids in an after school sports club, playing a team sport. they wanted to win and reach nationals and stay as long as they could playing inthe competition. my experience was exactly that. u train some, the competition begins, u lose, seniors retire and it starts all over again

there were so many charatcers i could relate to even if some took me some time warm up to (@tsumtsum but jokes on me now he is mine). kids are impressionable right? having a bunch of all these other kids feeling the same way i do in a mostly??? the same kind of situation i was in had REALLY HELPED and i really Cannot stresss enough how thankful i am to haikyuu. it felt so relieving and validating to see others go through the same feelings or experiences i went through,,,,,, furudate was like hey ur feeling like this??? thats ok!!!!! and goddamn did that save me

at first i was like ehhhh bc i couldnt relate to hinat a and kags Genuine Love for what theyre doing but wow im so glad i decided to give it a try a little while longer. hq just latched onto my brain outta nowhere after that. usually in sports mangas even if i like both sides i usually have a clear bias to one side to win, but with hq it was Hard to cheer for one side the entire way and i LOVED that 

age diversity tooooooo. it wasnt only high school kids, there were adults, graduates, college kids. babie kids too in backstories who went thru some shit and why they turned out the way they did. all of them grew up with us too???? like wow hq the gift that just keeps giving huh. after i graduated from my sports club i wasnt goign through what the kids were anymore BUT i still had characters like MANGA ARTIST (tenmaaa) 

the stuff hq talk about like MAN thats so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????? hard work vs talent, burnout, interest and effort, teamwork, insecurity, leadership, winning and lsoing, and SO MUCH MORE im kinda bad at putting my happiness first over like practicality and stuff, like if i think its gonna be a lot of effort/not a high chance of succeeding i more than likely think its best 2 bail even if its gonna make me unhappier but seeing timeskip hq characters doing what they love and all that happy shit IDK MAKES ME SO HAPPY and motivated 2 try harderrrrr???? 

idk how 2 stress enuoght that hq has rly helped me so much???????? like if im feelin a certain way i can just go and reread a certain match then BAM im feeling a bit better. magic ???? possibly........... sounds cliche as shit but honestly the power of friendship, hardwork, and love has never been more inspiring and encouraging before i discovered haikyuu. i dont even know how i feel about all that but hq juz makes me feel like Everythings gonna be juz fine in a good way. dis some happiness producing shit right here
