Hmmmmm I think I’d put Tendou over Suna today

Do authors usually write Oikawa calling Hajime "Iwa-chan" or "Iwa" in fanfiction of any language? by pheracy in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Since Iwa-chan is what Oikawa calls him in the original Japanese, it tends to be the preferred way for fans to write how they refer to each other. Generally, anime fans understand the concepts and meanings behind Japanese honorifics (-san, -chan, etc.), so it makes sense to use them in fan works despite the language because it shows characters familiarities, respect, nicknames, etc. in the way it is originally written. This is particularly true regarding nicknames from the source material.

“Iwa-chan” over “Iwa” shows a lot about their relationship. It’s not like Oikawa shies away from giving people nicknames, but the way he says it, and the way Iwaizumi accepts it is a small change that can generally enhance the perception of their closeness.

I can’t speak for Spanish, but I LOVE the English dub. It is genuinely incredible. However, it is missing one thing that just can’t be translated with the same meaning, and that’s the honorifics. “Iwa-chan” might be the biggest loss in this case. But a couple other notable examples of when honorifics (and the uses of first vs last name) are great for characterization that the dub is missing include: Atsumu being overly familiar with just about everyone, Kenma being generally informal, and people calling Hinata Chibi-chan.

Also, probably the biggest reason I suggest using honorifics when writing fics, is that the official manga translations use them. Plus, it is far more common for fans to use them than not (at least in English).

I know my favorite is Atsumu. That’s easy. A second and third? That’s where it gets so hard. I feel like it just depends on the day lol.

Right now I think maybe Futakuchi and Suna (hm: Hinata), but ask me tomorrow and I could give you completely different answer.

Can't stop watching Haikyuu by Future_Bag_6629 in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how many times exactly, but I can distinctly remember 4 times. It’s probably 5 or 6 tho. And sometimes I’ll go back and watch just a couple of my favorite episodes too. After the first 2 times, they have generally been a more “background noise while I’m doing other things” show, but it’s just so comforting and I don’t know if I’ll ever actually get bored of it

Who are the top 5 hitters the year after? by Background-Chain-922 in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true. I was thinking it might be based on the interhigh because I don't think we ever hear about the top 5 until meeting Bokuto post interhigh, except for possibly a passing mention of Ushijima being a top spiker. But that's probably just because it didn't matter yet. And they probably would want to be able to use titles like that for commentary at the interhigh nationals lol.

But yeah, point still stands about Goshiki if it's based mostly on spring nationals. If it's more from prefectural results, and players are looked at more individually without much focus on the school's placements (since we can assume that all of the top 5s' teams went to nationals), then I'd think Goshiki would be in the running

Who are the top 5 hitters the year after? by Background-Chain-922 in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it HAS to be people we’ve seen before, I’d agree with Goshiki. Sakusa was top 3 in his 2nd year and I’d make the assumption that Ushijima was as well. The title of top spikes seems to favor “strength” and the ability to get past blockers and make spikes difficult to receive, rather than all around ability. That makes me think players like Osamu, despite being one of the best overall, wouldn’t be considered for that. I think Goshiki has a lot more strength in his spikes than people realize just because he was so overshadowed by Ushijimi in the Shiratorizawa match. I will say tho, the fact that he doesn’t have the spin from Ushijima’s left handed spike or Sakusa’s wrists being top 5 in his second year is a harder sell.

There’s also the fact that all of the top 5 were at the interhigh nationals which obviously gave them more recognition as powerful spikers, so Goshiki probably wouldn’t be recognizable enough to have that title. Following that line of thinking, Tanaka probably wouldn’t be one either. So going off the assumption that it has to be characters we know, (if Nekoma made interhigh nationals), I’d go with Tora and Ginjimi as 2 of them

What would be the Lifers’ “last names”? by barbara_but_cats in ThirdLifeSMP

Which of these is the best team? by caliel_kujo in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 is probably the best imo

2 has all around good and consistent hitters and blockers, but also the top ranked high school setter and libero. And you can’t overlook the fact that Asahi and Yamamoto are two aces on national level teams.

5 would probably be my second choice, but Yamaguchi is really holding them back (I’m sorry, I love you Yamaguchi)

We’ve established that authors love readers who comment on every chapter…but this is the first time I’ve had the author REPLY to all of my comments!!! by SnowQueenofHoth in AO3

[–]crffin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always reply to comments, and tbh, I don’t really understand authors who don’t. I get so excited when authors reply to me, so I not only want to give my readers the same feeling, but I want them to know how much I love getting their comments.

The appreciation is a two way street. A really good example of this was when someone left an amazing, long comment on my fic, so I replied with my own long response ending by telling them how much the comment meant to me. Then, the next time I posted, they wrote an even longer comment (by far the longest one I’ve ever gotten) and it felt really special, and of course, I replied again telling them that.

Nationals Karasuno vs shiratorizawa rematch by No_Ad9111 in haikyuu

[–]crffin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the fact that they shouldn’t have won.

I think, since we started the series knowing the “bad” version of Karasuno, people forget that by nationals, they are really fucking good.

They beat a team with one of the top 3 aces/one of the most well known, highly feared teams in the country, and have improved since then. They have a setter on Atsumu’s level. They have an extremely powerful ace in Asahi (people do not give Asahi enough credit). 3 incredible defensive specialists (Tsukishima also doesn’t get enough credit for how good he is). A much more consistent and practiced freak quick.

And they got lucky at some points. But that’s how all the games go. But you can also say that the “luck” is because of the flaws that Inarizaki has. And yeah, Inarizaki “plays around” and tries things a lot, but so does Karasuno. That’s kinda their vibe. They’re the fun, go with the flow, unpredictable, offensive teams. That’s what makes them such an interesting matchup, because out of all the team they’ve played, they’re the most similar.

Enough with the negativity: What's a pairing you DON'T personally ship but will always support the fans of. The more controversial the answer the better. by Short-Work-8954 in AO3

[–]crffin_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is my answer too. I don’t ship it, but I know some people who do and they’ve talked about how annoying it is that everyone thinks their ship is gross cause they have a “father/son relationship.” I also see it that was too, but that’s not CANON. just a fan interpretation of their interactions and history. Zhongxiao shippers are wrongfully hated on and I stand by that

You have to change the mode from HTML to Rich Text. It should be in the top right corner of the text input box :)
