Close ups of the art:
Finished that band au wip! There’s a lot of lore with this au…. Not gonna make a fic for it but I’m gonna slowly tell what @jetjaw and I have been planning…
For now here’s the basics:
They form the band in high school, but don’t really really take off till their young adults (though they have local fans in school)
Tadashi is the frontman on guitar and lead vocals, as well as the main lyricist for the band. He has always dreamed of being in a band, though he doesn’t have the raw natural talent some of the others do. He’s the one who brings everyone together at school. Him and Tsuki are still childhood friends, he’s school buddies with Yachi, he meets Kageyama in music class, and he rooms with Hinata in their school’s dorms.
Tsuki only picks up the guitar to have something in common with the only friend he tolerates, but ends up being very good at it. He’s the lead guitar, and he secretly loves it, though he never quite shakes the aloof persona. They know he loves them though, or he never would have let them talk him into that tongue piercing…
Yachi was taught piano as a kid, and it quickly became another outlet for her mother’s overly high expectations. She secretly gets into alternative music, synth, and fun keyboards to have a small sense of rebellion. As well as being the keyboard player, she becomes the producer, brand manager, and all around mom of the band. Everyone at their stuffy ass school thinks she’s suuuuuper emo for her hair and eyeliner. (None of them have ever seen an actual emo)
Kageyama is a youth symphony player, taught the bass by his grandfather. When his grandfather dies, he picks up the electric bass to breathe new life into the grief-tainted hobby. He composes a lot of their music, and is generally ridiculously skilled. Of course he dabbles in piano like the dramatic genius he is.
Hinata is the drummer, and undeniable heart of the group. When they meet at school, he’s the only one familiar with the local music scene, and opens up his rich-ass sheltered-ass friends to a freer creative approach. Though he didn’t play any instruments at all at first, Kageyama assumed he was a drummer from how many overly complex rhythms he’d tap on his desk in their shared class, and quickly resolved to get Hinata properly playing. Though he starts out a bit of the weak link, his passion and commanding presence completely transform their sound.
Cue the next several years of melodrama, exaggerated teenage culture, and pining wayyyy too far into their twenties.
The first years band au I came up with @jetjaw is my guilty pleasure Haikyuu au. Like.
Should Yachi have extreme mommy issues that aren’t at all in line with how the series portrays them? Hell yeah pile them on. Is Tadashi the gayest fuck to ever live? Duh of course he is! Are Kagehina super messy and angsty and dramatic? Yes because it’s fun.
It’s completely inaccurate to their characters but sometimes my brain wants a bit of drama. Pizzazz even.
Phil Lester could eat my loved ones in front of me and I'd just be excited to see him
Upcoming band au wip?????? What could it be?????
Chapter 11 of my Hinata as Spiderman AU is up! :p

NEED a creature feature Kagehina au immediately. Sick and tired of zombies being the go to apocalypse scenario. Give me horrifying beast beyond imagination terrorizing their small town, causing some rag tag teens to step in. Give me Hinata with a metal baseball bat. Give me protective Kageyama. Give me hijinks. Give me 80s soundtrack. Give me chase scenes in the woods. Make em suffer for it

A better look at Kagehina because we all know 90% of the fun is them being homosexual
Can you believe they aren’t officially dating at this point of the au… they’re my messy kagehina
More band au art!!!
This piece is inspired by the idea of the group getting invited to a prestigious award show and/gala and taking the opportunity to do a photo shoot in their outfits for the night! Photo shoot concept: Tsuki “walking in” on the others
@jetjaw gave me prompts for the outfits and I ran with them. These are the ideas behind them:
Tadashi: funky 70s inspired fit
Yachi: SUPER BAGGY man suit (I took inspo from zoot suits and added some pink accessories)
Tsuki: oh please he never gets out of that damn shirt
Kageyama: office siren/pencil skirt (I steered away from the office theme but it’s in there)
Hinata: no shirt only tie
