First of all, thank you so much for sending me an ask. You’re a star♥

Well, then!

How I feel about this character

My feelings about Tsukishima are a little complicated. His sharp tongue and the tendency to poke fun feels a little too uncomfortably close to certain experiences I had in middle school (amazing those still bother me at all, really). Not that Tsukishima ever said/did anything I would consider even remotely the same, but the way he looks sometimes, the mockery, makes me a little uncomfortable.

On the other hand, I actually identify with him a lot, to a ridiculous degree. I see him do or say some things and there’s this really intense feeling going through me like “yeah, I know how that feels like, I know what made him feel the urge to say that, I’ve felt it before myself”.

The whole thing with Akiteru clearly had a huge impact on him, and I a couple of years ago I went through an experience that I consider - perhaps wrongly? perhaps not…- very similar to his, and that, even more so, makes me feel like I understand Tsukishima from the inside (it’s a little weird, if I think about it too much).

All in all, I love him a lot. There’s the occasional tendril of unease swirling through my feelings for Tsukishima, but I love him a lot. Oh, and his character design is also very pretty, so I like the way he looks too.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I ship him romantically with only one person - Kuroo. 

I think this preference of mine stems simply from my desire to give Tsukishima some support. Someone steady and reliable but who can still laugh and play around plenty, with a healthy dose of determination and who can give as good as he gets. And so Kuroo, that giant dork, is my one and only pick for Tsukishima. And vice-versa.

Why not someone else? Surely there’s more characters who fit the bill? To be honest, I have absolutely no idea.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Hmmmm. I feel a little obliged to answer Yamaguchi here, but I’d be lying.

My actual answer is Sugawara, and Akaashi. There was a moment in season 1 between Tsukishima and Sugawara that really gave me the senpai-kouhai heart pangs, and I also like to think that he and Akaashi are each other’s Sane Person™ in the 3rd gym group. XD

My unpopular opinion about this character

I am unaware of what the popular and unpopular opinions about Tsukishima are, so I don’t know what to say here…

Oh! The way he interacts with Yamaguchi. I’m not on the “Tsukishima hates Yamaguchi! He’s terrible!” crew (on the contrary… if there’s anything that runs deep in Tsukishima, I think, is his friendship with Yamaguchi) and I don’t think he mistreats Yamaguchi, but pre-Yamaguchi’s speech [WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED THAN PRIDE? ahhhh, just thinking about it makes me emotional] I felt like there was definitely an imbalance of some kind there, even if it was only in how other people perceived their levels of respect for each other.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Furudate-sensei mentioned somewhere how Tsukishima was the number one character he wanted to see make a victory fist. ME TOO. I want to see it.

I want everything to go silent, everyone holding their breath as the ball touches the ground, and I want Tsukishima standing in the middle of the court, the lights shining down on him, and without even looking up, I want him to slowly raise his fist and tremble as victory roars through him and through the entire gym as the crows and Karasuno jump and start screaming. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE LIKE I NEED BLOOD IN MY VEINS.

Other, less serious things: I am dying to know if in later years Tsukishima and Kageyama become tsundere friends. Really. I need to know.

I’d like to have seen more interaction with Kiyoko-san, because I’m curious to know how they get along.

I also really want to see how he interacts with Ennoshita, and how that changes when Ennoshita becomes captain (because that’s a thing that will happen, right?? Ennoshita 4 cap 2k16)

I’d say more, but wow, this has gotten waaay too long.
