hq bois without vball
listen i’m in class and it’s friday i’m not going to pretend to have a braincell who do you think i am
but anyway hq bois sorted into hs cliques if vball wasn’t there to be their entire obsession with no/minimum explanation
jocks:
bokuto (football - quarterback, obviously)
aone (basketball)
ushijima (lacrosse)
yaku (hockey)
terushima (soccer)
iwaizumi (baseball)
theater kids:
lev (pretty boi likes the attention)
kiyoko (as a stagehand - someone tries to force her to play a role, as the original person cast ditched and now every theater kid in karasuno is terrified of her. the rage of kiyoko at someone trying to force her to do something she does not want to do is compared to the rage of achilles. someone writes an iliad parody. it’s distressingly good. even kiyoko likes it. the script is her phone background for nearly six months.)
yachi (as kiyoko’s loyal helper - she gets a role purely by circumstance and nearly has a heart attack. kiyoko saves her)
kenma (sound-tech)
futakuchi (i say this with pure, genuine affection: he’s a dramatic bitch)
takeru (he just wants to stand out, poor bb)
narita
daishou (see futakuchi)
yahaba (see futakuchi)
choir kids:
oikawa
tsukishima
sugawara
kinoshita (narita drags him into theater productions whenever they do musicals)
shibayama (precious baby - he is beloved by every choir kid and is protected with a feral fervor)
bokuto (he also sings - not well, but he sure sings)
inuoka
miya twins
nishinoya (see bokuto)
band kids:
hinata (i saw something about him playing the sousaphone, and while the image is very, very good, i must disagree. this boy is a percussionist. bass drum.)
kageyama (clarinet. no i will not elaborate)
akaashi (flutist)
both of the miya twins (atsumu plays trumpet, osamu trombone)
sakusa (flutist. that is the cleanest flute that ever existed.)
asahi (cello)
tanaka (snare drum or trumpet - i can’t decide, but i’m leaning toward trumpet)
daichi (oboe)
yamaguchi (percussionist for sure)
kuroo (saxophone, but the nerd kind, not the suave kind)

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

such a small detail but I cannot stop thinking about law leaving kikoku by luffy's bedside when he went out to talk with hancock and ivankov. idk it stirs up a lot of questions. like does law do this often? does law, like zoro, talk to his well-behaved cursed sword like "kikoku, sit. watch." before he leaves to go have lunch or a well deserved twenty minute post-surgery nap. is this the protective equivalent to leaving a baseball bat by the bedside? doctor's bedside manner emotional support blade? but then I also can't help but notice that it's unsheathed. which... actually, who is that sword protecting really, just sitting there? did luffy wake up more than once in the cradle of that submarine while his body was still recovering? (drugged up to the gills, entirely noncoherent, unable to be reasoned with, going in and out of consciousness, the only thought running through his mind being "ace"). probably would've been a nightmare for the heart crew
