A lot of gays need glasses, so do the straight people, but it's the gays that actually wear their glasses instead of contacts

3 years & 2 days ago i watched love simon in theaters, and 2 days ago i finished reading simon vs the homo sapiens agenda, then tonight i watched love simon again since the first time i ever watched it.

theres something so beautiful in consuming an old piece of media that’ll make your mind revert back to the time you were first introduced to that media. it’s the way it makes you want to buy those halloween oreos with the orange filling because it makes you feel connected to the film by you casually referencing it. it’s the way you end up following the cast members on social media and look up to them, remembering that it all started because of one film you watched as a teen. it’s the way some of your favorite songs come from the movie’s soundtrack and you’ll listen to it from time to time but every now and then the specific scene it was played during will pop into your mind. to put it simply, nostalgia is beautiful. but if we’re going in depth, it’s the way rewatching one movie reverts you back to the first time you saw it, amongst reverting back to your other favorite shows at the time, and the friends you hung out with and the hobbies you had and the way your home life was and yourself. it’s you reliving the person you were during that time and not realizing how special it was gonna be years later. or maybe you did and your future self is thanking you for actually cherishing the moment.

nostalgia is a beautiful thing. 20gayteen was a treasurable year. love simon was great and simon vs the homo sapiens agenda was better at that. i’m glad i finally finished the book 3 yrs later and now look, i’m watching the second season of the movie’s spinoff series later this year. i’m so in love with being queer. the overall queerness of this all is a beautiful thing too. how fun to be nostalgic of your young queer self during an important year for queer media and an important year for your queer identity..

first year crows!!!

BokuAka fic recs part 1

Dear @mistermrbee I’ve been waiting, this is my moment in the sun I proudly present a short list of fics that will make you love BokuAka even more:

Canonverse:

arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to by earlygrey_ milktea

Bokuto Koutarou, contrary to popular belief, is the family disappointment.

One of my favs, Bokuto’s POV, angsty but worth it

Broken China by Looali

Akaashi Keiji owns a very special set of mugs. To the common eye, they would just be a normal set, practical and decorated with a cute owl design. Something he uses for his tea during morning practice and lunch, kept carefully wrapped up in kitchen roll until he needs it. For Fukurodani boys Volleyball team however, Akaashi Keiji’s mugs were life savers.

Adorable, truly adorable

Again and Again and Again by zinniapetals

“Step up your game Bokuto, use the L-word.”

“Lesbian?”

“The other L-word.”

“Lesbians?”

Bokuto has a really hard time conveying his feeling for Akaashi. Kuroo suffers

99 Days of Dating Bokuto Koutarou by carxies

Akaashi has never even considered being in relationship. His life is school, volleyball and extra practices late in the afternoon. When he gives it a second thought, Bokuto plays a role in all of these things.

Pining, denial and pining again. 10/10 would recommend

A Logical Chain of Illogical Events by mismatched_ideas

It was only logical that Akaashi wasn’t a starter his first year of high school. He didn’t expect to be. He was just happy to have been accepted to a school that was not only a volleyball powerhouse but also an academic one. He played in a handful of practice matches near the end of the year and during the Tokyo finals at the end of the year, he’d been the backup setter, which was impressive given his age.

But there wasn’t a single thing that was more surprising than the attention he received from a certain second year.

A very nice and convincing backstory for our favourite owls.

The Chocolatier’s Widsom by Scrbhneoir for darumarina

Akaashi could just do it now, not a thought for the others around him. Everyone was already heading for the showers now anyway, he could probably keep Bokuto an extra minute to do the confession and get it over with - “Boys shouldn’t give other boys chocolates on Valentine’s.”

- Akaashi lowered the chocolate back into the bag.

Obligatory Valentine’s Day fic, very well-written.

Year-Round Love by masi

In his first year of university, Bokuto realizes that he really adores Akaashi.

Future fic where Bokuto finally gets it

third wheel by arsenicjay

“So you and Bokuto, huh?”

Akaashi’s attention snaps back to Kuroo and he gives the other boy a blank stare. “What about us?”

Or, Kuroo figures out that Bokuto is interested in Akaashi long before Bokuto does himself and being the kind friend that he is, tries to help them along.

This one is simply great and I think I’ve read it like 10 times. Kuroo here wins everything.

stating the obvious by ThinkingCAPSLOCK

There’s a lot of things Bokuto isn’t sure about now that he’s in university. His program, his new team, his future. There’s only one thing he’s absolutely sure of. He is not dating Akaashi Keiji. Not even a little bit.

Sure, Bokuto, sure.

AUs:

keep making trouble (til you find what you love) by Heronfem

Appearances aren’t always what they seem.

In which Bokuto is the family disappointment and does his best despite his struggles, Akaashi has an enormous crush and wants to help, and they fall end over end in love surrounded by a shower of owl and vulture feathers.

Wingfic, really lovely, though a bit sad.With a happy ending, though!

That Baby Does Not Belong to You (But It Could) by multifascinate (talkativelock)

“You named the baby?”

Bokuto pouts again. “No, he came with this.”

Keiji takes the note Bokuto offers him. It’s written in an unfamiliar slanting script on a slightly crumpled piece of paper with a safety pin through it that Keiji assumes was used to afix it to the outside of the baby’s blanket.

“My name is Hinata Shouyou,” he reads, “I am not lost, just looking for someone to be my parents. Please treat me kindly.”

In which Bokuto has an early midlife crisis because of a baby and Keiji has both a headache and a crush.

Adorable kidfic. They are all so precious here.

cat and kid by norio

Kenma doesn’t mind if Akaashi talks on his phone. After all, owning a cat like Bokuto-san must cause Akaashi a lot of difficulty.

Kenma and Akaashi work together and Kenma observes Akaashi’s phone conversations. Hilarious

Star Catcher by yozra

Keiji is a catcher of wishing stars, and one day a very strange one lands straight into his arms.

Lovely, fairy-tale like story, a bit like The Little Prince in my opinion. 

The Siren and The Blacksmith by theauthorish

There was a man walking along the shore, just then. Even from afar, Keiji could see the tired slump to his body and the weary heaviness of his steps.

Keiji opened his mouth and began to sing.

Siren!Au written like a fairytale of old, it’s great and romantic and I couldn’t stop reading.

Heaven’s a Heartbreak Away by The_Marron 

It was Kuroo’s fault. It was nothing new in Bokuto’s life, really, because most of the stupid, life-threatening and awesome things that happened to him were in some degree Kuroo’s fault, but still, this was definitely Kuroo’s fault.

Or, Bokuto gets roped into a dancing show and does not fall for his partner. He does fall for somebody else, though.

- shameless self-promo, you can ignore it, but I couldn’t resist.

This are good beginner thinks, in my opinion. If you are interested in angst, dark themes and very strange aus, do let me know, I will prepare a second list :) Glad yo welcome you in the fandom and let me know if you liked the fics!

yoooo........ drop fic recs......

i was put on this earth to rec iwaoi fics (come back next week for more and kagehina fics)

(violence) in the pouring rain {1/1 • 4k}

three times oikawa and iwa-chan find themselves in the rain, and three different beginnings

10 ways iwaizumi hajime has said i love you {1/1 • 15k}

I love you’s come in actions, not words.

Aliens {1/1 • 13k}

There is a lot to be remembered about a 20-year relationship. Oikawa can’t possibly keep all of it in his head.

Build A Temple In Me {1/1 • 40k} 

Up the mossy mountain steps, past the komainu guardians and the faded red gate, and beyond the boundaries of the green shrine—that’s where the forest and the spirit world within it lies. That’s were Hajime met him, and where their story began. (sequel)

Chasing Paper Suns {1/1 • 10k}

Post-high school, Oikawa makes it to the national volleyball team but Iwaizumi doesn’t. The next three years become an exercise in growing up without growing apart.

I Choose You {1/1 • 9k}

There’s a tiny clock on his wrist, bright red numbers. It’s supposed to tick, supposed to move, supposed to tell him when he’ll meet his soulmate.

Iwaizumi Hajime’s clock hasn’t ticked for as long as he can remember.

i wanna ruin our friendship {18/18 • 71k}

In which a single confession letter unravels Oikawa’s control over his life and forces him to realize he wants something besides friendship from Iwaizumi.

if i fell in love with you {1/1 • 5k}

Oikawa nodded, eyes on the ceiling, lips loose in thought. “Mmm. Okay, Iwa-chan. I love you.”

“I love you too,” came the answer, smooth and easy like breathing.

And then they froze.

In April {2/2 • 28k}

Tooru dates people and it takes Hajime a while to figure out why he hates it. Like six years.

It’s Not Love, Probably {1/1 • 7k}

Iwaizumi bites the inside of his cheek. Why is he annoyed? That Oikawa is talking about his girlfriend? That he saw them under the stairwell looking both guilty and flustered? That he might not know everything about his childhood best friend?

He can’t say yes to any of those questions. He can’t quite say no, either.

It’s Tradition {1/1 • 4k}

Every year, without fail, on Oikawa’s birthday, Oikawa has somehow gotten a kiss out of Iwaizumi.

Lavender {1/1 • 5k}

Tooru, his heart whispers.

Leave Me Your Stardust {1/1 • 14k}

“All life across the cosmos feel emotion. It’s expressed in different ways, sure. Some emotions are felt more than others, yes.” Koushi carefully places Mars back into orbit above his head. “You’re not used to feeling this way because you never have.”

“Stop,” Oikawa whispers, “are you actually implying… that I care about him?”

Like Summer {1/1 • 3k}

“We’re wearing yukata because it’s our last summer festival in high school,” Oikawa enlightened him, ignoring the rhetorical nature of Iwaizumi’s question.

His voice dropped unintentionally with his next words, eyes focused on the automatic movement of his fingers, “We should do it right.”

long last we meet {1/1 • 7k}

“Well,” Oikawa starts. “There were two boys, who grew up together. Best friends, companions, whatever you may call them. Their names got lost in history, but their story dwelled on. When the boys were still young, one of them was spirited away in the forest, and vanished for three days and three nights. When he returned, he was drained of all his health and fortitude. But the other boy, his best friend, still remained by his side.”

“A love story,” Hajime says.

“A love story,” Oikawa affirms.

Look For Him {1/1 • 18k}

Oikawa has kissed Iwaizumi more times than either of them can count; it’s a constant thing, their lips never really leaving the other’s skin. There are, however, times when they’ve kissed that are burned into their memories. Eight of them, to be precise.

make a bet, keep a promise {1/1 • 14k}

It begins with a bet made between the two boys in the mid-summer of their eighth year. It starts with volleyball, but like with most things involving Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime, things are never quite that simple.

midnight boy/sunset town {1/1 • 10k}

In which Iwaizumi Hajime grows a few chili plants, participates in an eating contest, breaks into a park, and falls in love with a man who doesn’t ever sleep - not exactly in that order.

no room for pretend {1/1 • 12k}

“Iwa-chan,” Oikawa says again, quieter. When Iwaizumi turns his head back around, Oikawa isn’t even looking at him anymore, fixated on the frayed threads of their cushion. He looks up after a moment and smiles faintly. “Please be my fake boyfriend.”

Phone Home {1/1 • 6k}

Oikawa Tooru is currently orbiting Earth at 445 kilometers per minute, but falling in love with the voice in his ear makes it feel so much slower than that.

Shiver {1/1 • 16k}

Oikawa was always the brave one. Hajime just followed two paces behind.

the 5 times oikawa is sure he’s in love with iwaizumi, and the 1 time iwaizumi says it {1/1 • 4k}

Hajime can’t pinpoint the exact moment he fell in love with Tooru.

It was gradual. Or maybe, he’d always been in love with him.

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle {3/3 • 66k}

Tooru is pretty sure he could manage the mating habits of a mosquito. It’s the mating habits of people he can’t seem to get right.

Time {1/1 • 5k}

When they’re twenty-three, their story only begins.

we shine like diamonds {1/1 • 26k}

Oikawa is nine when he first hears the word. The boys on the playground whisper it like it’s dirty, like the way they daringly mutter the word fuck and then look over their shoulders to check their parents hadn’t heard. 

you’re looking like you fell in love tonight {1/1 • 35k}

in which iwaizumi pretends to be oikawa’s boyfriend.
