i think that fanon platonic prongsfoot fans would actually like kuroo and bokuto’s bromance a lot. i see a lot of parallels, the chaotic energy, the easy affection, the loveable jock stereotypes, they’re like prongsfoot but without all of the death and angst. also bokuto is actually a himbo unlike james who is only a himbo in fanon.

#which ig would make kuroo the sirius parallel and… yeah like kuroo is a lot like sirius #minus the family trauma #so if the angst is your thing bokuroo is not for you #but if you like the chaotic himbo vibes… #give it a chance… #can i recruit more marauders fans to the haikyuu agenda??? #let’s see lmao #bokuroo #platonic prongsfoot #haikyuu #marauders #also this would make kenma reg #which #omg wait that would make kenma reg that’s so perfect im

bokuaka fic recs

only one person asked for this, but that's enough for me! however, compiling this list has also given me the chance to locate fics i read and loved during quarantine but did not, for whatever reason, bookmark or otherwise save...

i will say that my past experiences with 'dead' fandoms has made me perhaps a little too forgiving of blips in characterization, but i genuinely enjoy/ed reading these gems

all recs are complete

hit-never-miss authors

norio

mocaw

mystictwirl

canon compliant

soft blue by graninlynch (g ∣ ~6k words). akaashi can draw well and bokuto finds out in an invasive way.

slow on the uptake by dalyeau (m ∣ ~1k words). akaashi realizes his boyfriend is hot. pwp but it's so beautifully written it doesn't feel that way. this author is very popular, too; however, i haven't read too many of their other works!

denouement by ftld (t ∣ ~9k words). akaashi's struggles with coming out to his parents about his established relationship with bokuto.

wisdom (perception) check by allicanseeispink (t ∣ ~12k words). an incredibly lovely piece wherein bokuto watches a movie and introspection occurs. this is part of a series that i've yet to read, but i read and understood this as a stand-alone fic. wonderful authorial voice. everyone should read it.

the strange music of your heart by caniculeo (t ∣ ~18k words). akaashi falls first. i must say, i love love love the fukurodani interactions in this one.

alternate universe

what a hoot by moonyfest (au - college/university & wrong number ∣ t ∣ ~2k words). delightful little chat fic.

red tattoo by choir (au - soulmates ∣ t ∣ ~2k words). soulmate-identifying marks but with a twist! platonic kuroaka and minor kurodai.

running, running, running by deusreks (au - archery club ∣ t ∣ ~4k words). a lovely get-together piece.

it's a miracle when our worlds collide by darlingwendy (au - soulmates ∣ nr ∣ ~6k words). oh nooo i sped past you on my way to work but you're my soulmate :((

first train home by marras (au - ghost & age changes ∣ t ∣ ~10k words). akaashi takes the train, and an apparition sits beside him. poignant but beautiful.

never bleed, never grow by sketchedsmiles (au - bodyswap ∣ g ∣ ~27k words). a glorious bokuaka & iwaoi body swap.

static by twinkrevali (au - robots & androids ∣ g ∣ ~8k words). i think about this fic way too much...bokuto is the engineer, and akaashi is the android. kuroken sequel and bokuroo prequel.

quiet by silvercistern (au - fairytale ∣ e ∣ ~41k words). as the author describes, "a meiji-era retelling of the fairytale the six swans." this writer is also very popular, as well as the story. but if you're into the fairytale/fantasy scene and haven't read this one, it's a delight.

right in the head by mysecretfanmoments (au - zombie apocalypse ∣ e ∣ ~52k words). bokuaka against zombies.

the hands we're given by lessonsfrommoths (au - zombie apocalypse ∣ m ∣ ~37k words). also bokuaka against zombies. this one becomes plot heavy and is very inclusive of other characters. it's part of a hq!! vs zombie universe/series, and there is a sequel to this specific piece that is ~70k words.

#ik norio is on everyone and their moms' rec list but that's just a testament to their greatness ok #i read a lot of aus bc i'm toxic and slice of life doesn't satisfy me :^) #i sure read a lot of zombie content for someone who can't stand zombies lmao #these aren't in any particular order—just things i had the fastest access to (immediate memory & screenshots) #if y'all are ever looking for fics just shamelessly stalk an author's (that you like obvis) bookmarks !!! just like me #bokuaka #bokuto koutarou #akaashi keiji #ao3 #fic recommendation #there was a specific fic i really wanted to find but it evades me so i'll probably do a round 2 of these once i eventually find it #if any of the links are wrong pls tell me

[grungeeuvu]

ship bingo for bokuro? and/or tananoya? I feel like I only know your shiratorizawa ships haha

Okay, I wasn't sure which ship bingo you were talking about specifically so I did two for them both! Hope that's alright

BoKuroo:

They look really cute and I have saved a few pieces of art of them but it's not really a ship I think about too much :')

However, the things I've seen with them in are so cute?? I can see why people ship it lol

TanaNoya:

Pretty much the same ship as BoKuroo but no one has a braincell - I think I'll only ever see it as platonic but the idea of them trying to do taxes together? Perfection ✨✨

Also, yeah, my Shiratorizawa ships are incredibly obvious... *avoiding eye contact with SemiShira intently*

A through Z for the ask game >:]

HI JAMMIE

this is another long one, bear with me!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

Uhhhhh well obviously I'm loving the gojo & megumi father-son shit at the moment, it really heals the depression. ALSO @grungeeuvu (alt. account @grungiiuvu) has gotten me back into MXTX, especially TGCF, so fengqing is top of my romantic ship list at the moment. I keep meaning to write something for them. Whoopsies.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

my jjk moots are going to think i'm insane for this, but itafushi. It did NOT occur to me when I watched the anime, but then someone suggested it to me and then I rewatched with new eyes and ... yeah. itafushi canon.

also kuromikashou. I'm a fan of that now, too.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

the rats are going to absolutely hate this announcement, but ushioi and oikage. Hate them both. oisuga? sure. iwaoi? love it. oihina? don't see it as a long term thing, but don't care. even atsuoi is passable. But both ushioi and oikage really irriate me for zero reason.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

bokuroo. they make total logical sense and they'd be hilarious together, but to me they're besties. sorry guys :(

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

i hear lots of good things about my JNT Rulebook, which is a whole load of crack. Also, for AOT i wrote Chaos Theory, which earned comments like "I had no idea funny fics were possible for this fandom". If you are a long-term aot girlie, I am so sorry for your loss.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

Uh, I'm not sure? The first fandom I contributed to was PJO. I was there for maybe two years, and that's probably my record. I'm just over one year on haikyuu now. I'M SORRY I JUST KEEP CHANGING INTERESTS

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

My very first OTP was probably Eadric & Emma from The Frog Princess series. It doesn't really have a fandom but god, I loved those books... OR Ash & Serena from Pokemon. They were good too.

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I mainly watch anime at the moment and usually they have more active fandoms, so I'm happy to stay with them. With books, you can never be sure that anyone else has ever read them.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Nope, because I am good at staying away from scary people. #slay

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr.

Supernatural. No explanation needed.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

From Haikyuu, it's got to be Hinata, hasn't it? And he's weirdly underrated, considering he's literally the main character.

From other fandoms, I love Yona from Yona of the Dawn. She goes from literal spoiled princess to some kind of warrior queen, PLUS she gains emotional maturity. May we all grow to be like her.

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.

You know what, guys? I do think Goshiki's cute. I do understand wanting to put him in your pocket. Personally, I don't, but I totally see it.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Sugawara. He's top tier friend material - chaotic, funny, caring, and would definitely feed into your delulu.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

My main fandom is probably haikyuu, so I wish I saw more of:

Appreciation for the writing!!!

Love for main characters. It sounds weird, but the fandom is full of people who have a pet side character who barely has any lines. This is GOOD, all character deserve appreciation, but can we get some applause for hinata??

Love for rarepairs. This sounds even stranger, considering my last point, but we need to get used to letting people ship whoever the fuck they want. As long as it's legal.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

After a good old shuffle of my 94 hour playlist, I got Bad Romance by lady gaga. This is gonna come out of left field because I've never mentioned this fandom before, but it's sherliam from moriarty the patriot.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

I've mentioned this to friends before, but we totally need a TGCF hosptial au. Mu Qing is a surgeon, Feng Xin is a physiotherapist, Xie Lian is either a GP or an anesthesiologist, and Hua Cheng is some random reception guy. Mu Qing is always bullying Feng Xin for not being a 'real doctor'. Hualian are married. you see where I'm going.

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Harry Potter, for obvious reasons.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

I would die for Nobara & Itadori & Megumi. They deserved to be happy forever.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

I wrote whole sections of fanfiction based off my headcanon that Megumi has flat hair like Toji, but he styles it spiky to be like Gojo. I KNOW the canon disproves it. I don't actually care.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

Nope, because I am non-confrontational and uncreative.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

I'm going niche on this one - well, more like going into fandoms my followers probably aren't into.

Ayame Sohma, Fruits Basket. Loving brother, perfect example of how to make reparations, and also literally fabulous. And gay.

Ooharano, All Out!. Voice by Ian Sinclair, very good at his sport, hilariously sarcastic. Emotional backstory that was just never mentioned again???

Siatrich Wynknight, The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion. Very funny, likes to be a bit evil for the giggles, thinks it's funny when his younger brother endangers national relations. Gay.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

GUYS I HAVE NO IDEA. I'm probably closest to Bokuto or Kageyama - and that seems odd, because they're different people, but that's how I am.'

Also Gojo. Don't tell my readers I said that.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Exes to Lovers, my beloathed. Hate it so much, I can't even explain why.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS "I KNOW THE PARTS OF YOU THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOURSELF" MY BELOVED

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

RWBY, ITSV, Demon Slayer.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

I guess I've always been interested in the idea of a true morally grey character, because sometimes there are characters that are described as morally grey, or even evil, when they're actually Just A Guy (*cough* Oikawa *cough*). The only character I can think of is probably Dazai from BSD. Everyone has an opinion and very few of them are correct. There is no way you can say he is a bad person, because many of his issues come from the fact that he is an orphan, raised by the mafia, and someone who took the opportunity to leave when prompted. Also, in his life after the mafia, he made a genuine effort to make good on his promises and fix his life, including saving Atsushi.

HOWEVER, you can't say he's a totally good person. He lived well in the mafia, because he didn't care about killing people and perhaps even enjoyed it, depending on how you view certain scenes. Many people would say that he's still not on anyone's side, he's only on his own side. This is debatable, but it's still there. PLUS you've got his continuation of the cycle of abuse through Akutagawa, and his willingness to pretend to betray his friends in order to get the outcome he wants. Everyone else is just a pawn to him.

I'm still undecided on him, but I'm proud of every fan that says "he's morally grey" rather than cutting it up into black and white. Remember that BSD was written for the stray dogs, not the ones who have lived happily all this time...

Thanks for the ask!

for you and bex: trans bokuto & kuroo? separate or together, platonic or romantic, i dont mind any way!

okay wow i'm so excited someone actually asked but this is gonna get so long and so chaotic because i could go on about this forever

send me and bex characters for us to trans

separate:

i absolutely love transmasc bokuto, it's probably one of my top hcs for him. bex loves enby bokuto! we love bokuto who is loud and proud about his transness :)))

i had a thought a while back about transmasc akaashi being scared to come out to bokuto, but when he finally does bokuto is like ...kaashi you know i'm also trans right? but akaashi didn't know bc he was so focused on himself lmao

i also love transmasc kuroo, but i tend to lean more towards enby kuroo. recently i've been loving kuroken with people thinking kenma is trans but it's kuroo lmao

we also looooove talking about transfem kuroo and bokuto. i'm sure y'all know i'm a tiny bit obsessed with bokuto so i ramble about her more, but transfem kuroo is awesome too (kenma buys her tits). bokuto whose sisters teach her everything there is to know about being a girl 🥺 kuroo who transitions later (as in not as a teen like bokuto) and is trying her best to learn everything about being girly 🥺

also? meow meow gamer boy kenma and his tall girlfriend who pegs him 🥰

together:

i mean we can basically shove any version of bokuroo together and we'd make an au out of it

one of my favorites is t4t lesbians bokuroo! they're besties and girlfriends! they share clothes and kuroo does bokuto's hair for her and bokuto tries to get kuroo to paint her nails colors other than black (we also have a version of them who's with transfem suna)

bex had the hilarious idea of kuroo who has the trope of childhood friend to lovers and next door neighbor to lovers (kenma) and then fell for his girl best friend (fem bokuto) and kuroo doesn't know what trope he's gonna get himself into next

also transmasc bokuto who forgets that straps are a thing and that he can top (cis) kuroo lmao

bokuto starts her transition and she starts dressing more fem and she's basically glowing because of how happy she is and kuroo is obsessed with her. he can't believe how gorgeous she is. he's also a perv who can't stop staring at her thighs when she wears skirts lmao

bex had another funny idea of kuroo saying he's never touched a girl's tits before and asking if he can touch bokuto's, and it makes her laugh because she knows she doesn't have tits (yet) but it's also weirdly affirming

i could honestly keep going but i'm gonna stop here because this is long as fuck but yes bex and i have trans thoughts about literally every hq character ever

@emosuna

#asks #hq #queer hq #hq hcs #thank you so much for asking lmao I'm so happy to ramble #bokuto #kuroo #bokuroo #wtf jordan #j's transing characters again

[hellomayu]

this is why kurotsukis never win yall weird and act like mainstream shippers well focus on your contents instead of taking away from less popular ships yall the same as krkns and bkaks always demoting bokuroo content to platonic besties when its obviously ship art

idk if you're the same anon but anyw that's so funny bc what do you even mean by win lol who am i (or us krtsk shippers as u say) competing for when none of these ships are even canon in the first place. it's not like one ship is better than the other bc they're all fanmade anyway aside from a few canon ships the author made.

i qrt-ed it instead of reply bc it was meant for my followers, not a direct message to the bokuroo fandom nor the artist. i'm a krtsk main but i also ship bakt interchangeably no one said about them being just platonic besties. i could've added how tsukki and akaashi would shrug on bokuroo making out but that would be redundant to the art that represented their affection perfectly.

and another thing. while u pertain to us krtsk shippers yall weird, that artist ships and have drawn kuroo with other pairs including tsukki.

#i was gonna ignore the first one but cmon ughh rly i dont even promote my tumblr on other sns and u come here just to send some anon hate #there's no way i meant to be offensive to that artist bc im a fan of their art as well #just rly bold of u to assume i dont also ship bokuroo romantically i could even rec u good bokuroo artists LOL #ask

@sokkasboomeraang we r kinda like irl bokuroo (platonic) agree to disagree

Bokuroo ship bingo:D

bokuroo

i love them like… so much. in any capacity like platonic? hell yeah. romantic? hell yeah. they’re just the best. they flirt and are like “haha jk… unless? 👀” i just !!!!

#bokuroo #ship bingo #i literally have so many kuroo ships… like kuroo and suga are two characters i think i could be convinced to ship with anyone #perks of being my faves i guess

[myreygn]

2 for the ask game !

2. What was the first tickle fic you wrote? (how old were you, what fandom, give us a bit of the plot)

the first tword fic i ever wrote was Nightmare, i'm sure some of yall know it <3 it's haikyuu, platonic bokuroo and it's hurt/comfort where kuroo has a nightmare during a training camp and bokuto gives him comfort tickles. i wrote it because it was exactly the kind of story i wanted to read and i couldn't find it so i was just like alas m gonna do it myself. i think it's still the fic with the most notes even tho it's my oldest (thank you!!) and if i'm not mistaken it's also the fic that gained my blog its first considerable amount of followers and my first very own post to really get notes. that was in february 2020 so i must've been 15 to 16 when i wrote it

Hi hi! BoKuroo playing video games? It could be platonic or romantic!

im not even editing this i’ll let autocorrect fix this for me

Bokuroo and Video Games

TW I curse a lot

these two

if you wanna tell me they're not 0 or 100 and there no in-between

you’re sorely mistaken

bokuto is 0 or 100 already but video games?

they play for fun or they play to WIN

and they’re both decently competitive guys in the first place

they start playing some battle royale game and bokuto keeps winning

kuroo call kenma t h a t n I g h t and says TEACH ME YOUR WAYS I NEED TO LEARN THIS N O W

next time he and bokuto played, kuroo kicked his ass and he was mad about it for like 20 minutes

kuroo is a gracious loser and will accept it

he’s competitive tho and doesn't like to lose, hence why he talks to kenma

he doesn’t do this with volleyball because it’s disrespectful but who cares when you're with your best bud

i can just hear it

when this man wins, he has a victory party

and has the stupidest victory dance ever

“YEAH FUCK YOU BRO I DID THAT! haHA YOU SUCK”

as gracious of a winner kuroo is

bokuto is that gracious of a loser

kuroo is mocking him and doing his victory dance and bo throws his controller at the couch (or at kuroo)  and starts SCREAMING in frustration

throws a pillow at kuroo and DEMANDS a rematch

then loses again because he's pissed and distracted

and then it goes over again

by this point, he’s quite angry (calm down I AM CALM)

then kuroo offers food and he’s back in high spirits

I doubt they're like this with other people (or at least not to this extreme) but that’s what being best friends is about they just get to vibe together and be happy and even if bokuto gets pissed off they’re still friends and it’s all in good fun y’know?

I think this is the fastest I've ever gotten a req out lol but thank you human who sent this I could talk about them for h o u r s 

someone send more bokuroo ideas to me or things for me to think about. I’m on a kick lately lol I love them

[kuroosdarling]

thinking about kuroo and the home he comes from. he loves his family but some days, the house can be a little too quiet. he’s glad that kenma lives around the corner but he doesn’t wanna bombard him all the time as he likes his space.

that’s why meeting bokuto was one of the best things to happen to kuroo. the bokuto family was functional, full, loud, and full of life. just like bokuto. on days where the world felt a little too quiet and a little too suffocating, he would find peace at bokuto’s house.

his sisters welcome kuroo like he was always meant to be there. his parents treat kuroo like any other part of the family. he feels happy here.
