haikyuu!! third gym squad taking the ib diploma programme

ok... my friend and i got rlly stressed the other day and made headcanons for these guys if they were to take classes in the ib... it’s like a levels but like... a bit more death!

for my ib diploma folks you can just hop on over and read what i’ve hc’d but for my non-ib folks, lemme give you a bit of an introduction to the ib diploma programme.

characters included: bokuto koutarou, kuroo tetsurou, akaashi keiji, tsukishima kei, haiba lev, hinata shouyou

THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME is a rigorous two-year pre-college program in your last two years of high school. a full programme consists of one class from each of the six required groups (totalling to 6 classes), which are G1 - first language; G2 - second language; G3 - social sciences; G4 - natural sciences; G5 - mathematics; and G6 - arts (though, arts is optional, and can be switched out with another subject from G3 or G4).

within these six courses, students are required to take at least three high-level (HL) courses and three standard level courses (SL), but some students may take four HL courses and have two SL courses (kind of a rough one tho).

just to note: there’s two types of math courses - applications and interpretations (Math AI) and analysis and approaches (Math AA). MAA courses are known to be harder than MAI courses because students do more theory work and have non-calculator sections in exams, unlike MAI courses where calculators are required for every exam. also, it is possible for a person to take IB courses instead of the full diploma programme, but i’m not very well acquainted with that variation of the IB programme so we’re just going to assume all the boys got 6 courses.

okay. i am so sorry i just lectured you on a whole school curriculum. anyways. back to haikyuu!!

BOKUTO KOUTAROU : Japanese Language and Literature HL, Mandarin Ab Initio SL, Geography HL, SEHS (Sports, Exercise, and Health Science) HL, Math AI SL, Economics SL

ok so it’s canon that this dude is not doing very well in math but his parents made him do higher level math at first poor boy >:(

he started the year off in higher level and thought he was gonna be fine

no. he was not fine.

so he ended up switching his math hl to sl and his japanese sl to hl

IT IS CANON (special chapter in volume 19 titled “i just forgot” where bokuto has a wholeass crisis about words) that bokuto’s really one to actually really like to think about how words work and function as systems in the same way ib language courses do!!

actually having him do japanese ll hl is just an excuse for me to keep him in math sl sorry

i mean koutarou may be my fav tax evader but he really did sit through two years worth of econ classes... smh

mans is Not listening and has to rely on yukie for notes but he just memorises case studies for exams and does not do anything else

i feel like he just takes mandarin because he thought it was the easiest one... he also thinks the words sound similar so it’s easy to memorise

he’s a pretty good communicator so he practices his mandarin quite a lot. as in, he’s made friends to talk to in mandarin. we love to see it!!!

also. um. i hc that he’s pretty decent at memorisation so geography!! this goes for memorising all the kanji and mandarin characters too

i think SEHS is pretty self-explanatory. mans already known he wanna be a pro athlete might as learn about being healthy as an athlete

KUROO TESTUROU : Japanese Language and Literature SL, English B SL, Business Management HL, Chemistry HL, Math AI HL, Biology HL

now... we all know this mf been taking chemistry hl. it is CANON

and as per his career path... DEFINITELY business management hl

i feel like he’s so analytical in the way he sees things that he likes to explore many areas of knowledge where there are different ways of thinking

takes english as a second language because... whew.. aint it sexy when mans wanna be multifaceted in business

also takes higher level biology because he’d rather not with the languages... but later on i believe he ends up in a higher level language class because he might as well

i feel like kuroo’s classes just give me a vibe i know too too well...

mans takes math ai. he does not wanna fuck around with a pencil proving a theorem he just wants the answer bro

like in volleyball, he’s a quick thinker. so he’s pretty g with math and business stuff

i literally know someone with this class combo ... it’s not very chill but it screams “you never see me do any course work but i always get at least a B+ in every subject”

AKAASHI KEIJI : Japanese Language and Literature HL, French Ab Initio SL, Psychology HL, Chemistry SL, Math AA SL, Visual Arts HL

now... this subject combo radiates such pretty energy

pretty subjects for a pretty boy

he was originally going to do biology sl but then found out there is chemistry in biology so he just decided with chemistry. plain and simple.

we all know akaashi is both emotionally and academically intelligent

he’s logical and analytical, and when faced with a tough time he works through it well albeit going through a little bit of struggle

this automatically puts him in math aa... i just see him actually liking proving theorems???

but maybe he just thinks his calculator is a nuisance sometimes and would rather solve everything by hand

also art boy! this dude likes graphic design more but when it comes to traditional art he does Not Hold Back

i like to think that he’s into painting backgrounds and mixed media

if he didn’t take VA, i’m pretty sure he would take economics. because. it’s quite systematic and i think akaashi would take a liking to it

as for japanese ll hl... we all know this dude was supposed to be a part of the literary section in a magazine/manga company but was moved to editor

goes hand-in-hand with psychology, likes to know how words convey meaning and how they affect people

he also thinks french is kind of a cool language. i feel like this guy just wants to do it because it sounds cool and novel for him

all in all, pretty solid subject combo!

TSUKISHIMA KEI : Japanese Language and Literature HL, French Ab Initio SL, History HL, Biology SL, Math AA HL, Instrumental Music HL

4 hl’s... here we are folks

honestly does it for colleges to go like “holy shit this dude is kinda crazy”

but does suffer... coursework tings :)

first of all this dude takes french (even though it’s a beginner’s class) because he just loves to sound cool huh

the summer before his courses started he would have had the basics down after looking through free ib textbooks

plus, being the guy that’s super good at a new language in the class is a huge ass flex and a big ass ego boost. and anyways, with language, he thinks it’s just a lot of simple patterns working together.

this also applies to japanese ll hl... finds writing essays and making arguments ez (at least that’s what he tells himself - he’s kinda nervous when it comes to japanese but he holds on anyway)

practices extra hard on pronunciation. sounds hot tho

math aa hl??? there we go. another crazy one. thought he could ace the class at first.... no. no he couldn’t

thinks about moving down to sl. probably does. (at least it’s not math ai)

history and biology go hand in hand for him. he has significant interests in prehistoric times, and likes to learn about the origins of life - that’s a given

but he does get tired of the politics talk in history like... goddamn all these people making so many mistakes? just stop making them smh

and instrumental music was just something he got onto because he really would like to just have a course where he could enjoy himself while also learning about the stuff he likes

nobody knows what music he listens to... but i think he’s willing to listen to anything as long as it’s music and it has the kinds of vibes he digs

HAIBA LEV: Japanese Language and Literature SL, Mandarin Ab Initio SL, Psychology HL, Chemistry SL, Math AI HL, Theatre HL

i don’t know how to explain it but lev has such strong psych and chem energy

yes haiba lev’s classes are the ones i picked via roulette wheel

jk not really

here’s the thing though, lev takes psychology because he thinks econ, business management, history, ess, all that jazz is just... absolutely boring. like. super. mf-ing. boring.

so he’s like ooh cognitive processes!

kinda hates that he has to study research methods and research methods ONLY at first but when he gets the hang of it he really finds it one of his fav subs

i actually have no explanation for mandarin ab initio sl... he just seemed like the kind of guy who would wanna do the class solely because he thinks mandarin sounds cool with their intonations and everything

plus he heard that the teacher gives mooncakes every lunar new year ad he. loves. them.

okay now hear me out.

lev is good at math.

maybe not lightning speed analysis or calculations like akaashi, but he finds solving problems fun! except for when they’re without a calculator bc he HATES doing calculations by hand

he can get a bit clumsy with his hand calculations too so it’s nice to just have a calculator on hand

literally only does math ai for the sake of using a calculator at all times (a/n: i take this class, and this was the reason i took it too. COMPLETELY VALID)

and then does theatre for the fun of it!!! confidence levels high for presentations and performances... good fit

kinda thought that ib theatre would be his easy A but oh how he was wrong... hates the research tasks at first but he gets used to it

HINATA SHOUYOU: Japanese Language and Literature SL, Portuguese Ab Initio SL, SEHS HL, Geography HL, Math AI SL, Theatre HL

his classes are bokuto energy but with theatre and portuguese

MANGA SPOILERS! we all know he started thinking abt going to brazil in his second year of high school, and the ib diploma programme starts in the last two years of high school so it fits PERFECTLY

lowkey most of the boys take japanese ll sl because they just. have to.

this is also hinata’s case <3

SEHS HL!!! he has a vision for the future and it definitely involves him understanding health and sports and everything like that, especially after nationals in his first year :(((( still sad abt that

but he’s motivated for this higher level class because he’s really just gonna go all out with the research

math ai sl because... he prolly don’t give a fuck about numbers!!! (it hasn’t been made clear already, but math ai sl is the lowest level math course)

he also took theatre hl because even though he does get scared at first, he’s a natural when it comes to learning new cultures

he’s just so curious about it all and it makes him quite engaged in the class as well!!!!

also kinda took theatre because the other subjects were just not it for him

about geography... he hates memorisation but he also hates everything else in the social studies group so

he just gets by by trying to find the little details of the things he’s studying interesting because really... geography class is just the base of all the places on his bucket list

hinata’s def one of those dudes who picks his subs purely off of liking because we all know he’s going. any subject that isn’t based off of liking is usually a mandatory subject anyways

heyyyy, @victoryjacket tagged me in this fic tag thingie and lord knows my favorite thing to do is yell about fics so here we go!

1. What is the last fic you read that you liked?

hmmm i ...... literally dont know. i probably haven’t read any fic for the first time in a good few months bc i love to reread my bookmarks a hundred times and pretend my favorite authors still write fic. i’ll go with say hallelujah, say goodnight by @alivingfire bc it says something when a fic is over 100K and i, an Impatient, actually finish it. also its just really, really good

2. What is the first fic you remember reading?

im not even gonna talk about wattpad right now so the first fic i remember reading on ao3 is probably the finish line (is a good place for us to start) by @loaded-gunn (which is a good first indeed, listen i didnt shut up about this fic for literal years)

3. What is your favorite fic trope?

idk if its a trope? but my favorite thing to read and write is fwb w/ mutual pining (re: rivers til i reach you is born)

4. What are your 3 favorite chaptered fics?

oh god ummm

so keep my candle bright by whisperdlullaby is always a fave, like, if u havent read that literally read it right now. ughghgghhghg

wild and unruly by @100percentsassy and gloria_andrews is absolutely gorgeous, godddddd i love the characterization so much, everything about it is so good

it wont let me link it for some reason but red brick heart by hazmesentir is a given, old school but so so good

5. What are your 3 favorite one-shots?

possibly my favorite fic in the universe is we can take the long way home by @eleadore. it’s...... so fucking good, i dont even know what to say other than read it right now

also hats off to my distant hope by navigator is one i find myself going back to quite often, breaks my lil heart but its worth it

with love comes strange currencies by @mediaville is fucking amazing, my abo baby. is anyone noticing a pattern w the fwb fics skssjjjs

6. What fic would you love a prequel to? and a sequel?

i dont know about a prequel, but for a sequel i need more of boys of summer by sharktoothedfawnskinned in my life every day so i’ll answer that for both

7. How about a fic that would make a good movie?

from the love to the lightning is a like crazy au so its literally already a movie but hear me out. i watched this movie before i ever knew hl fic was thing and i remember hating it, fast forward years later and i read and l o v e d this fic so dearly, so gimme the movie again but with harry and louis starring thx

8. What fic do you think is severely under-appreciated?

listen it’s not exactly hurting for hits, but i never see anyone talking about some things take root by navigator the way it deserves. yall, it is THE fake relationship au that we all deserve

9. What is the funniest sentence you have ever read in a fic?

oh jesus. i dunno about a sentence, but this bit from we should get jerseys always gets me:

Across the aisle, Niall and Liam are laughing at them, but Harry just grazes his nose down Louis’ neck and whispers into his ear, “so I won.”

“Yes,” Louis agrees, finding that it’s getting even harder not to, y'know, get hard. “You did. The entire team did.”

Louis can feel Harry rolling his eyes before saying lowly, “Well, you’re not going to let the entire team finger you.”

He clearly doesn’t say it as lowly as he thinks, though, because then the players immediately around them are catcalling and giving suggestive looks.

“Fucking hell,” Louis swears, blushing brightly and getting off Harry’s lap. “There’s a time and a place.”

“No better time than now,” Atkins leers obnoxiously, winking. “Give us a show, Cap.”

10. How about the one sentence that broke your heart?

ok so the first thing i did was go into another hazy may by deLILAh to graze through and find a sentence, but listen, i couldnt choose. that literal whole fic breaks my heart, its so so good

11. Re: other pairings; which do you like and to get into it, what should I read?

hm. hm. i dont read anything other than hl, because if i try i literally cant picture them with anyone but each other so im just like...this is good....but what if it was LouisandHarry ... anyway if i had to, probably zouis. the one fic that comes to mind is want a scar that looks just like you by deadspy but beware. i remember reading this and theres a bit where harry and louis talk casually and im like ok when do they fall in love ?? and they dont???? it knocks the wind out of me a lil but its good ok ill shut up now

12. Is there a prompt that you have?

so ... many...... prompts. im currently writing the breakup au and the dystopian au with @pass-the-pencil but i also have the dunkirk au and the southern gothic au and the enkfndfndklnfs oh god im stressed now

ok sorry this ended up being so long-winded sjskajsk but i tag @falsecompare @fondleeds @tofiveohfive and @hotmessofamermaid

#fic tag #yall dont have to do this #thanks for tagging me eden <3 #fic stuff
