Unnecessarily Specific Haikyuu!! Headcanons

but then I found @spikesandrecs ... making me screech/laugh.

Constantly steals his older sisters' nail polish. His fingernails are a multicoloured, chipped disaster, but he likes it that way.

Walks into friends' houses and goes straight to their fridge.

Keeps all of his movie ticket stubs in a jar in his room.

He doesn't own a watch. Never has, never will.

Has a definite sweet tooth, can be bribed with candy.

Shockingly good at picking up languages. It comes in handy while he travels.

Posts things like "Do whales know they're the biggest animal on earth, or do they just think the other fish are really small?" to the group chat at 3AM.

Does not respond to caffeine.

His hands are always cold. He will stuff his icy cold hands up someone's shirt if given the opportunity.

Incredibly ticklish.

Which one of these would work on you?

Daichi Sawamura: You know what this jersey is made of? Boyfriend material.

Koushi Sugawara: Hi I’m Sugawara, my friends call me Suga, you can call me tonight.

Azumane Asahi: I’m over six feet tall and I have other good qualities, too.

Yuu Nishinoya: Do you know how much a polar bear weighs? Enough to break the ice. Hi, I’m Yuu.

Ryuunosuke Tananka: Did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine? Because you look like a snack.

Chikara Ennoshita: I must be sleeping because I’ve only seen you in my dreams.

Hisashi Kinoshita: I’m calling the cops on you for stealing my heart.

Kazuhito Narita: Roses are red, violets are great. When are you free, so we can go on a date?

Tobio Kageyama: You must be a setter because you sure know how to serve.

Shoyo Hinata: I hope you know CPR, because you just took my breath away!

Kei Tsukkishima: Didn’t we take a class together? I could’ve sworn we had chemistry.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: You’re so cute you made me forget my pick up line.

Shimizu Kiyoko: Kissing is my love language, we should have a conversation sometime.

Daichi Sawamura: Hello, you've reached Daichi Sawamura. Sorry I'm unable to take your call right now, please leave your name, your number, and a brief message and I will call you back soon. Thank you.

Koushi Sugawara: Hello? ... helloooo?... Gotcha! It's my voicemail! Leave a message at the beep!

Asahi Azumane: Hi... you've reached my voice- I mean the voicemail of Asahi... Azumane... leave me a message... thank you? Ok. Bye.

Yuu Nishinoya: Hey! You've reached Nishinoya. I don't really check this thing, so if it's important, shoot me a text. Thanks.

Ryuunosuke Tananka: *fake robotic voice* HELLO, YOU HAVE REACHED THE AUTOMATED VOICEMAIL OF RYUUNOSUKE TANAKA, LEAVE A MESSAGE AT THE TONE. ... *whisper* yeah, I'm gonna keep that one.

Chikara Ennoshita: Hello, thank you for calling Chikara Ennoshita, I'm not looking at my phone at the moment, but if you leave me a message, I'll see you called! Talk to you soon.

Hisashi Kinoshita: This is ###-###-####, the number you call to reach Hisashi Kinoshita. Missed your call, leave a message, thank you, bye bye.

Kazuhito Narita: Hey, it's Narita, I'm not able to talk now, leave a message and I'll get back to you soon.

Tobio Kageyama: Hello, it's Kageyama. My phone lets me know when I've missed a call so you probably don't have to leave me a message, but you can, if you want... I guess.

Shoyo Hinata: *rustling noises* is it recording?.... Hi! It's Hinata, leave me a message! ... how do I sto-

Kei Tsukkishima: You've reached Kei Tsukkishima's voicemail. Here comes the beep, hope you know what to do with it.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: Hello, Tadashi Yamaguchi here. Drop me a line, or text. Whatever's best for you. Bye!

Shimizu Kiyoko: You've reached Shimizu Kiyoko, sorry I missed your call. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

Tetsurō Kuroo: Only drinks lungo espresso. He’s tried every shop in town and found the ONE PLACE that makes it the way he likes it. He acts and talks like a coffee snob but he’s really just going by what tastes the best to him.

Nobuyuki Kai: He drinks Americanos because they’re quick, easy, and if made with the right roast, genuinely delicious.  He actually knows his coffee.

Morisuke Yaku: A caffeinated Yaku is a sight to behold. He’s talking fast, moving fast, are his eyes twitching? Why won’t he stop yelling?! Basically, he can order anything he wants as long as its decaf and others will interfere if they see him doing otherwise.

Taketora Yamamoto: He orders his coffee black, but inevitably dumps 3 sugar packets and 1 splenda in it for good measure. Just order the sweet stuff man, no one’s going to judge you.

Kenma Kozume: Cafe Latte. It’s the shortest order, he doesn’t need to say much to the barista and that’s good enough for him.

Shōhei Fukunaga: Who even knows at this point. His drinks are like 30% flavoured syrups and 50% whipped cream and caramel sauce. How he hasn’t gone into a sugar coma is a legitimate mystery to everyone who has seen him order.

Sō Inuoka: He likes his seasonal flavours-- peppermint lattes in winter, pumpkin spice in the fall. If he wants to mix it up, he’ll ask the barista what they recommend, and will always thank them for the suggestion, even if he hates the drink.

Oh my goodness, this is something I never expected!! 

Thank you so much for reading my weird little ramblings. 

Hey, you can’t judge the eating habits of someone who wants to escape reality.

Daichi Sawamura: Pulled an all-nighter trying to finish a paper, only to realize in the morning that not only was the paper worse, but his internet history showed he spent 3 hours (1:24am-4:43am) watching back-to-back cat videos.

Koushi Sugawara: Confidently walked up to his friend and slapped their butt as a playful greeting, only for the person to turn around and it be one of his professors' assistants.

Azumane Asahi: Accidentally took too much allergy medication before an exam and was a little, uh, out of it during the test. He ended up getting the highest grade in the class, making him question everything about his study methods.

Yuu Nishinoya: Booked himself a private study cubicle so he could nap between classes.

Ryuunosuke Tananka: Had a "you know what, **** this!" moment in the middle of a semester. He turned off his phone and spent 3 days in his dorm room playing video games, sleeping, and eating hot cheetos.

Chikara Ennoshita: He slept in on registration day and ended up taking an on-campus job he hated because it was the only place he could work that would accommodate his horrible class schedule.

Hisashi Kinoshita: Took a few special interest courses for fun, and got an email a year later informing him he unintentionally got a minor! Happy coincidence I guess.

Kazuhito Narita: Developed a caffeine addiction so strong that even the baristas at the campus coffee shop expressed their concerns.

Tobio Kageyama: Never learned the names of any of his classmates. It makes it really difficult for him to ask for notes from missed lectures, or arrange for any study groups...

Shoyo Hinata: Accidentally joined a fraternity. He was "Brother of the Month" twice without his knowledge.

Kei Tsukkishima: He's changed his major so many times his academic advisor suggested he just leave it undeclared until further notice.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: Walked into the wrong class and sat through the whole first lecture because he didn't want to be rude and interrupt the professor. He even took a copy of the syllabus and signed the attendance sheet.

Shimizu Kiyoko: Got the flu, was told by the on-campus nurse to stay home, but came to campus the next day to participate in an in-class debate. She got an A, went home immediately and slept for a solid 16 hours.

Tooru Oikawa: Overuses the bitmoji keyboard.

Issei Matsukawa: 🗣🗣🙂🙃🎁✅🎨(Can carry on full conversations using only emojis, it's a gift, a skill, and an artform.)

Takahiro Hanamaki: 1 of thos ppl who use txt lingo sm u hav 2 read the msgs lyk 5x 2 get it?? ykwim.

Hajime Iwaizumi: HELP HE'S SWITCHED HIS PHONE TO CAPS LOCK AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT BACK.

Shigeru Yahaba: Freaks people out by sending “call me asap” texts when he really just wants to talk about random stuff.

Shinji Watari: 

Every message

Looks like a poem

because he presses send

instead of using punctuation

Yūtarō Kindaichi: He uses a lot of ellipses... so everything he writes... sounds... you know... suspicious...

Akira Kunimi: Even if there is a perfectly acceptable and widely understood short form, he will always write his messages with full sentences and perfect grammar and punctuation. He is laughing out loud.

Just... trust me on this. This idea got stuck in my brain, I couldn’t get rid of it, and honestly... I adore this movie.

Tooru Oikawa: You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!

Issei Matsukawa: You are the salt of the earth... I meant scum of the earth.

Takahiro Hanamaki: Go ahead. I'm too cool for you anyway.

Hajime Iwaizumi: Oikawa, if your life had a face, I would punch it.

Shigeru Yahaba: You're pretentious, this club sucks, I have beef. Let's do it.

Shinji Watari: Next time I'll be deadly serious next time!

Yūtarō Kindaichi: Because you will pulverized in two seconds, and the cleaning lady, she cleans up....dust, *imitates a dusting movement with his hand*...she dusts.

Akira Kunimi: This sucks. I'm gonna pee due to boredom.

Written by an Only Child.

Hajime Iwaizumi:  Was always the worst at board games because he didn't have anyone to play them at home. (He didn't even realize you COULD cheat at Monopoly until high school!)

Hitoka Yachi: Developed a sense of personal space and privacy very early in life, kinda upset if people touched her things.

Keiji Akaashi: Would consistently leave the kids table at parties to sit and talk with the adults.

Kenma Kozume: While voracious reading or gaming is a typical only-child trait, Kenma also just didn't understand the concept of siblings growing up. Literally asked a friend "So, when does your sister go back to her house?" once.

Kiyoomi Sakusa: Had the comment "Kiyoomi is encouraged to share with the other students in his class" on every single report card until the fifth grade.

Satori Tendou: Threw a tantrum every time he was left with a babysitter-- or any adult that wasn't his parents. It became so unbearable he ended up third-wheeling his parent's date nights until he was old enough to stay home alone.

Shinji Watari: Was simultaneously "a pleasure to have in class" and a major social distraction because he was just excited to get to talk to other kids.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: Asked for a little brother for Christmas & his birthday until he was 12.

Tsutomu Goshiki: Was the kid who ran away from any playground fight because he never learned how to handle peer conflict.

Who makes ‘em, who keeps ‘em, who is just out there trying their best?

Daichi Sawamura: Sets New Years Resolutions with the honest acknowledgement that he's probably NOT going to keep them but maybe this year will be different, right? One of these years it's gotta work out, right? Right?

Koushi Sugawara: Sets very small New Years Resolutions. He's going to eat healthier... for three days. Catch him on January 4th binge eating chips in his living room. At least he achieved his goal.

Azumane Asahi: New Years Resolutions also correspond with Birthday Resolutions, which gives him the extra motivation to keep with them. Most of the time he succeeds.

Yuu Nishinoya: Doesn't set New Years Resolutions. Why would he? He knows who he is, he knows he's not going to keep them. He's just vibing with the times, you know?

Ryuunosuke Tananka: Rolls over his New Years Resolutions from the previous year, but, between you and me, he's been doing this for a while and can't remember what the original one was...

Chikara Ennoshita: Writes down at least 10 New Years Resolutions on January 1st, and then ignores them for the rest of the year.

Hisashi Kinoshita: He's actually good at creating realistic New Years Resolutions. But, he does something brilliant: he doesn't share them. That way, no one can hold him accountable.

Kazuhito Narita: Makes the mistake of broadcasting his New Years Resolutions to everyone-- so they can all call him out when he throws his goals in the trash mid-May.

Tobio Kageyama: His New Years Resolution every year is get better at volleyball so I guess he's keeping and succeeding?

Shoyo Hinata: His New Years Resolutions is to face everyday with optimism and enthusiam! which confuses everyone because isn't that just... you know, what he does anyway? Obviously he's going to succeed.

Kei Tsukkishima: He's bad at New Years Resolutions, so he asks for advice. But after multiple suggestions of "don't be an asshole" "be less salty" "tone down the sarcasm" he decides that not asking people for advice is a good one to stick with.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: Yams is smart. Yeah, he's been meditating for 5 minutes a day before he goes to bed for the last 3 months, but NOW it's a New Years Resolution. It's guaranteed positive reinforcement and it works!

Shimizu Kiyoko: She doesn't make New Years Resolutions, she makes a New Years Gratitude List. She picks one thing she is truly grateful for, and makes it her goal to write down every time she experiences that moment of gratitude. It helps ground her throughout the year.

My life right now is hectic, I’ve been working, taking classes, and trying to survive a global pandemic in a region with increasing case numbers everyday... 

so I’ve decided to come back January 4 -- with the goal of all the HCs sitting in my drafts COMPLETED.

I love you guys so much, and if you have any requests you want me to work on during my holiday break, let me know! I hope the rest of your 2020 is happy & safe.

Who has them, who uses them, who uses them BADLY?

Daichi Sawamura: Surprisingly picky about his calendars. Weird brand devotion to Moleskine weekly planners in solid colours. Only uses black pen. Burns his agenda at the end of the year to destroy personal information.

Koushi Sugawara: Buys a planner at the beginning of the year, but gives up writing things down in July and just uses his phone.

Asahi Azumane: If he doesn't write it down, he forgets. Will spend time at the beginning of each month meticulously copying down deadlines & plans into a paper calendar. Uses different colour highlighters and pens to categorize and prioritize.

Yuu Nishinoya: Only uses the calendar app on his phone in a vague way, but nothing too detailed or comprehensive. It’s all different colours but just because he likes the way it looks. Also never deletes any events if they get cancelled.

Ryuunosuke Tananka: Just uses a lined notebook that is filled with random appointments, to-do lists, and doodles (some more inappropriate as others). It's super disorganized but it works for him.

Chikara Ennoshita: He doesn't use a calendar... he just remembers... with terrifying accuracy.

Hisashi Kinoshita:  Buys an agenda every year, but forgets he has it until mid-March. Rips out all the unused sheets.

Kazuhito Narita: In high school and college he'll use the free planners you get at orientation, but after that... who knows.

Tobio Kageyama: He has a pocket calendar he carries around, but he never writes in it. It only has events his parents or friends have put in it so he doesn't forget. He has his volleyball related events memorized so they never need to be written out.

Shoyo Hinata: Only uses a large wall calendar and a disturbing amount of post-it notes & scrap paper to jot down tasks and reminders. The notes are stuck to the calendar with tape, gum, and Natsu's stickers.

Kei Tsukkishima: Only uses his phone calendar, but it's expertly colour-coded, detailed, and super comprehensive. If you make plans with him, he's sending you a calendar invite to make sure you don't forget.

Tadashi Yamaguchi: He works best writing things down in an agenda, but he never writes down the times of any events. He knows he's seeing a movie with you tomorrow, but he's going to have to call you so he knows when to be there.

Shimizu Kiyoko: Bullet Journals like a boss. Not in the super aesthetically pleasing way, but in the maximize your productivity way.
