I need to address this but PLEASE when the anime introduces Sister Krone we absolutely cannot not brush aside the fact that her design is racist and especially the way she’s drawn. I love her and her characterisation is great but we cannot let go of that fact at all. Artists if you do draw her NEVER draw her like how she’s drawn canonically, it’s awful and extremely racist. Here’s an article made by a black woman concerning the matter. (tw for: racist caricatures and anti-blackness)
Chihiro answers:
The Father— Nanase Haruka [Free!] and Nagisa Shiota [Assassination classroom].
The Son— Edward Elric [FMA], Kirishima Eijirō [BNHA], Nishinoya Yū [Haikyū!!] Okumura Rin [AnE] and Kiyose Haiji [Kazetsuyo], etc.
The Holy Spirit— Owner [Phantom tales of the night] and Akaza [Kimetsu no Yaiba].

Hello, I'm super excited to see all the wonderful stuff you write on this blog and hope you're having a lovely day! Could I request some fluffy HCs where Kaminari, Kirishima and Shinso separately have a s/o who's transgender (he/him pronouns) and is super self conscious about passing/has been unusually quiet in public spaces as of late due to being uncomfortable with how feminine their voice is. So they try to comfort him?
Hello! Thank you, I’m having a good day. Congrats on being the first one to request! I hope you’ll enjoy the headcanons, they were very fun to write. [ I haven’t written for Kaminari nor Shino before, but I hope it’s okay written. ]
________________
- Even though he is known to be quite the flirter in his class to all of the girls and not the smartest, he can understanding he feels uncomfortable speaking up.
- Kaminari tries to include you in his conversations, maybe with people that he knows well like Mina or Kirishima, but will help him feel comfortable nonetheless.
- If his s/o other is having a bad day, he’ll use all of his power on something to get to his ‘idiot persona’, just to make him laugh again.
- Even if his s/o has a feminine voice, he still would think it was the sweetest thing whether it was light or deep.
- Denki is so happy to be with him, and whenever the two are chilling at each other’s place, he’ll wrap his arm around him and put on some music for them to enjoy.
- Surprisingly, even if his s/o’s voice is sort of lighter, he still thinks it’s very manly that they still will speak up sometimes at least.
- If anyone ever dares to say something about it, he would be certain to stand up for his lover, telling the bullies that there was nothing wrong with having a feminine voice.
- Even if he isn’t exactly the smartest either, Kirishima will still stay close to his side and support him no matter what.
- He might want to suggest for the two to work out together, both so his s/o can get some more muscles along with himself, but to show them that even if his voice is like that, they can still be manly.
- when they’re alone, Eijirō will give him lots of cuddles, whisper how much he loves he loves him and chuckle over how bashful he could get him.
- If he ever sees someone making him feel bad about it, he would be very close to use his quirk on them. But of course, his s/o other had to hold him back before he could get into any trouble.
- Both of them sort of keeps to themselves, so not many would really question it. They knew better to say anything against him when Shinsō was around.
- He would suggest to maybe try and talk to his doctor about getting something that could change his voice to make it sound deeper.
- During the sports festival, and if his s/o went to his school, he would appreciate it a lot if his s/o cheered on him.
- We all know that Hitoshi is a sweetheart deep down. You could see him go and buy ice cream to his boyfriend and the two of them enjoy a movie together.
Do you find yourself using slang in your fics? Or using the BLM movement as plots in your writing or art?
Please, as a black woman who’s kept quiet for way too long, STOP.
When you overuse AAVE in your writing (using it flippantly or without credit to its actual meaning), you’re contributing to the devaluing of the black experience. And, to be honest, when a lot of you use it in your writing it sounds very awkward or is often misused.
What is AAVE?
“AAVE is an acronym for African American Vernacular English. Other terms for it in academia are African American Varieties of English, African American English (AAE), Black English (BE) and Black English Vernacular (BEV). [EDIT: since I wrote this post in 2014, a new term has gained a lot of traction with academics: African American Language (AAL), as in the Oxford Handbook of African American Language edited by Sonja Lanehart (2015), or the Corpus of Regional African American Language (CORAAL). I now use either AAE or AAL exclusively, unless I’m specifically talking about an informal, vernacular variety, however “AAVE” has gained traction in social media just as AAL replaced it among academics]
In popular culture, it is largely misunderstood, and thought of as “bad English,” “ebonics” (originally coined in 1973 by someone with good intentions, from “ebony” and “phonics,” but now starting to become a slur), “ghetto talk” (definitely a slur), and the “blaccent” (a portmanteau word of “black” and “accent”) that NPR seems to like using.” (Languagejones.com)
It is explained more here as well: https://waltdisneyconfessionsrage.tumblr.com/post/116538346824/mod-post-some-basic-things-about-aave
What’s The Big Deal?
This language has long been stigmatized and misused.
“We have a long cultural history of assuming that whatever black people in America do is defective. Couple this with what seems to be a natural predilection toward thinking that however other people talk is wrong, and you’ve got a recipe for social and linguistic stigma. For instance, in 1996 the Oakland school board took the sensible step of trying to use AAVE as a bridge to teach AAVE-speaking children how to speak and write Standard American English. They also took the less sensible step of declaring AAVE a completely different language. This was wildly misrepresented in the media, leading to a storm of racist, self-congratulatory “ain’t ain’t a word” pedantry from both white people and older middle-class black people who do not speak the dialect.” (Languagejones.com)
You can’t use our slang then ignore our issues.
Why You Shouldn’t Misuse It (Or Use It At All)
The issue of appropriation of Black cultural expression has been brought to light in recent years. More people have come to understand why a non-Black person wearing cornrows or dreadlocks is problematic, or why blackface and verbalizing the ‘N-word’ in songs is harmful. Appropriation causes harm when it perpetuates stereotypes, turns culture into a commodity, and uses historical traditions as a trend, while the originating group continues to experience discrimination for the very same thing.
Language can act in a similar manner. Within any culture, language is the basis for communicating ideas, and plays a role in shaping people’s sense of community. Yet, in North American pop culture, Black Vernacular English (BVE) is often used by non-Black people for social capital. Due to its social influence, BVE is often misused out of context in an attempt to be relevant, relatable, or for credibility. (Feminuity.org)
This article sums it up very nicely: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/black-slang-white-people-ruined_n_55ccda07e4b064d5910ac8b3
Key Points
The politics of black slang are tricky. Black slang and AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) have long been considered inferior to so-called “standard” English, and the black people who use it seen as uneducated or unintelligent (forcing many to master the art of code-switching). So when suddenly words and phrases that have strong ties to the black community are adopted and warped by non-black people, it can cause some of us to feel indignant, even insulted.”
“…we live in a society that loves black culture — but doesn’t like black people all too much — and what might look like acceptance is just downright thievery.”
“Listen. The idea here isn’t necessarily to say that white people shouldn’t use certain black slang (although by now we should all be clear on the N-word debate)… But the issue is how the etymology of these words gets lost in the sauce… As a general rule, if you have to ask whether or not it’s OK to use a word, if there’s any hesitation, then don’t. But also, we should all be aware of where these words come from and what they mean without attributing arbitrary definitions to them.”
You drawing characters in BLM merch or supporting BLM is not a problem.
However, when you draw or write about them protesting or rioting or looting, that is a genuine problem. Would you do that in response to the Hong Kong Protests? Would you draw characters protesting against the Terror Bill? Would you draw them with Native peoples trying to advocate for the return of their land? Or, hey, even in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-1960s?
No. Then what makes the Black Lives Matter movement so different?
Is it the fact that this hits so close to home you can’t process it by any other means than fictional?
What about seeing bnha characters rioting is supposed to feel inspiring? What about reading headcanons on how characters would quit their jobs as cops and protect me from tear gas is supposed to be comforting? These people aren’t real. But this issue is, and it’s serious, and it’s not something trendy or excusable to be filtered through a fictional lens. THIS IS REAL. THIS IS HAPPENING.
Take a look at this post to see
A friend on Discord couldn’t have said it better:
Our culture is not for your entertainment. The Black Lives Matter movement is a real, pressing issue. Please, spread information and support your fellow black authors and artists.
FAQ
Does this mean I have to stop using slang/reaction images?
No! Be cautious of how you use it. One article states asking yourself these questions when it comes to AAVE:
Is it being commercialized for financial gain?
Is the usage performative or tokenizing?
Are you in proximity to the culture that originated the terms?
Are you using the language to “level up” or earn yourself credibility?
No one is policing you on saying popular slang, but you need to stay educated on the source of these words and how the overproduction
Do I need to feel guilty or apologize for saying/doing these things?
Of course not! I promise, no one wants an apology or for you to sit around and feel guilty. Educate yourselves. Stay vigilant. That’s all I ask. This is not an attack or me shaming you by any means.
What if I’m black and condone this?
I sincerely ask you to look inside yourself and ask why this genuinely makes you happy. Are you doing it for some sort of validation? Fictional characters aren’t real. When your life is on the line, they aren’t going to magically come save you. When we let things like this get romanticized, it makes it easier to view this situation from a distance rather than how bad it really is and how close to home it’s hitting.
How can I help and/or support the BLM Movement now?
Support black writers and artists!
Be sympathetic towards our issues!

Thank you for reading!
- When Haiji takes Nira on walks, they usually go one of two routes: a small one around the neighborhood, maybe towards of the park if they have time. The other one, they go all the way to the river and back, with a small break in between. They enjoy both of them.
- While he does have the looks, Haiji is oblivious to how ridiculous his outfits can look. Riding after Kakeru on a bike in flip flops and chasing after his senpai in an apron and track suit has sort of made that picture. Let’s be honest, tho. He does look good in anything.
- His lock screen is that of a of a setting sun that he took during the summertime, but his lock screen is a picture from one of the team's parties where they got drunk.
- He always has blackmail and Nira pictures and extra notes written on there.
- Oji once convinced Haiji to watch anime together. He didn’t get all of them, or why Oji was screaming or freaking out during some parts of it, but had fun.
- He liked Fruit basket the most. Hatori was his favorite, but also felt like he recognized some of Kyo from somewhere [Ahem, A specific first year, maybe. You didn’t hear that from me.].
- Once back in first year of high school, he challenged Fujioka to race on their way home from practice. They ended up tripping and rolling down a small hill. There was no winner that day, just two boys with grass in their hair.
- Haiji sometimes buys books but doesn’t really get them read, since he is busy with both the track club and with his studies.
- During some time of the post-Hakone, he started to read again to pass time at the hospital and at home.
- Speaking is books and running, I’m sure that Haiji has at least read or heard once of Murakami Haruki’s ‘What I talk about when I talk about running’. Probably one of his favorite non-fiction books.
- His cooking abilities came from watching his mom cook during middle school, but he first started getting into it during first year at university, seeing as there wasn’t anyone else at Aotake that could.
- Doesn’t fully get every meme that is out there, likes ones with cats and dogs in.
- Spends Golden week, summer and winter break at Aotake during his college days. He had no need to go back home, at least, not for now. Even after, he doesn’t travel back all that often.
- Okay, so Haiji is canonically from the country side, which would mean that he probably wasn’t all that used to the loud city that was Tokyo. Even if it was in a peaceful neighborhood where Aotake stood at. So, it might’ve taking him a while to really get used to it.
- After graduation, he definitely has a secret tradition with calling Kakeru before Hakone. Some about the team, general training and practices, but it usually ends out in conversations that feels like it has as little to do with that in the first place, ending up going on for so long that the phone bill could almost be dragging on the floor. But, that doesn’t stop Haiji from dialing up his kōhai when the opportunity arrives.

@hai-cuties no problem, it’s always nice to meet others who like Haikyuu too :3
Hi! I once requested Karasuno third year friendship headcanons from you [ my old account got deleted, but my name was Ethernalhiro if you remember me? ] and wanted to say that I loved the ones you made! I hope it’s okay for me to request again about how the boys from Karasuno [ if it’s too many, you can choose your favorites. ] would do with an male reader who wants to be a detective? [ thanks in advance :3 ]
HEY HI YES I REMEMBER YOU. Welcome back to my inbox, friendo~! Don’t worry, getting asks are my greatest pleasure. I don’t usually do reader stuff but male!reader writings are rare af and detectives are just too good of a topic. And I’m gonna go nuts with my Karasuno faves because the opportunity has presented itself. I’m assuming this is a Detective-ish AU, so I’ll be basing my ideas off that! Please tell me if I got the wrong idea though~!
Tanaka is the best when it comes to encouragement. He’s not that good with the technical stuff, but he’ll help you expand your business and go out of his way to be supportive. His mental image of detectives are Sherlock Homes, so he’ll teach you the ‘manliness code of detectives’, which is really just him trying to make you sound all cool and mysterious. He’ll go out of his way to make your aspirations a reality.
Asahi would be a little reluctant to support you at first, but it’s because he doesn’t want you to get hurt. Suga’s made him watch too many cop shows, poor guy. He’d end up researching and coming up with a load of statistics to ensure your safety, and end up help you work your cases because he’s still slightly protective. He always makes sure you’re taking care of yourself, and getting enough sleep.
Tsukishima would kinda be dismissive at first. “Just because you want to be one, it doesn’t mean you can.” Only after he sees the amount of work and all-nighters you pull off, he’d know that you’re not doing it out on a whim. He would totally look up the best places to get hired, and how to study for the examinations. He’s not the best with words, but he’s very useful in times of need.
