What are your top three headcanons or for any character/show/movie/piece of media you have them for?

Ooooh, nice! We’ll keep it Hq!! for relevancy~

Kenma has nice cars. This is one I had to wrestle with myself on, considering he’s a Tokyo bby and his most familiar mode of transportation is most likely the public one. But, time-skip wise, he definitely has the money to splurge. And maybe high school volleyball traumatized him to the point where, out of spite, he’s vowed to never walk anywhere again (I’m sure the experience of riding on public transportation didn’t sway his resolve, either). So, yes, I like to believe he’s got some trendy cars. I imagine models like Toyota Supras or even Acura NSX’s—sleek, fast. They don’t have decals, and they aren’t chrome wrapped (I wish), but they’re shiny and dark and absolute beauties.

Imagine the gang decides to meet up for some McDonald’s. They’re waiting up. Suddenly someone’s like, “Who tf brought a Corvette stingray to the McD’s??” And, of course, it’s Kenma. Kenma, in all his messy-haired, raggedy-clothed glory. Hinata, passenger princess, pops his head out from the window with the largest grin on his face.

And if Kuroo ever wants to go cruising, sure, Kenma concedes and tosses him the keys. But he says, to Kuroo’s horror, “Start up the Nissan.”

Akaashi’s long-hair is a choice. I think a lot of fans interpret time-skip Akaashi’s long hair as something he has because he just can’t find the time to cut it. And I definitely can see that being canon; it feels in-character, for sure. But I’ll offer a different perspective. A lot of the time-skip characters were given haircuts—probably to signal their maturity/aging. It might even be because it’s a trend right now in Japan, to have shorter hair (can’t say for sure, though). Whatever the case, Akaashi was one of the few who didn’t get this haircut treatment. But if you want to hit me with, “Well, that’s because it couldn’t get any shorter without us rioting”—you know what. Yeah. I’ll give you that one.

Anyways, his hair is probably one of the first things we all noticed when we saw his time-skip design. It’s a major change. And it’s lovely! It looks deliberately styled (if fluffy), not as if he’s too busy to take care of it. For Akaashi, who wanted to right-off-the-bat work in a ‘traditional’ literature department, it makes sense to me that he perhaps wants to experiment with longer hair—something that also holds traditional significance in Japan. I’m also of the mind that his parents are strict fellows and think that, while they could enforce their expectations/rules on him as a minor, they disapproved of their son running around with long hair. So, that’s why we see this change in adulthood only.

Kiyoko had to like Tanaka in high school!! OK, OK. I know this one seems like it’s coming out of left field, but I’m putting it on here because I genuinely do find myself wondering about their relationship on a regular basis. Maybe ethnocentrism blinds me when I say this, but I don’t find the idea of “I’m gonna keep trying until she falls for me” romantic at all. Especially considering the fact that Kiyoko legitimately showed no interest in Tanaka, ever, and his and Noya’s gushing over her typically centered on her appearance. Another disclaimer: maybe I’m missing something that’s portrayed differently in the manga, which I began reading at the nationals arc because I wanted to know what happened after the events of s1-4 of the anime. But, yes, Tanaka’s fanning over her felt like a running gag retconned into seriousness. And for me to reconcile their relationship, I have to believe that Kiyoko in her journal was secretly doodling “K+R” and “Tanaka Kiyoko” in hearts. We love a cool, calm, collected love-struck queen.
