utterly unsurprising, really
and here's my entire list c:
I'M SO WEAK TO SHITTY CLICHES YOU GUYS just give me all the soulmate AUs 
what is rivalmancy even? I think I can guess but I wanna be sure
idk i figured it was just hatelationship
it sounds kind of sinister and witchcrafty tho dunnit
yeah that's why I got confused! like if it was rivalmance I'd figure rival romance but....
At some point I still want to thread the "what do you mean this kid is my soulmate" oiyama
yes tell me more
(i'm honestly appalled 'loyalty kink' wasn't higher on that list like excuse me?? do you know me and my taste in characters impersonal online quiz???)
in a soulmates are real and knowable universe there's no way Oikawa doesn't 100% believe iwa is his despite all knowledge that he isn't
So if yamaguchi, nervous, spotty yamaguchi, is his soulmate... Things will not go well
yamaguchi completely agrees
that's OIKAWA TOORU
HE'S LIKE PERFECT AT THINGS, AND ALSO HE'S A MEMBER OF SEIJOU AND evil how dare he aim those serves at tsukishima
Well, he WOULD have aimed them at yamaguchi but he couldn't do that when he's not even on the court.
OU CH
shit
damn
yamaguchi just curls up like oh god
This is who you're destined to be with, yamaguchi!! And he doesn't even want to try and like you.
so I just started this and, right off the bat
seemingly unrequited pining vs. actually unrequited pining
SimplerUser: yamaguchi is SO GODDAMN SAD it's honestly very pathetic
relares: dajkg; I ACTUALLY. really don't like actually unrequited pining it's too sad in the wya that doesn't feel constructive, i guess : (
Oikawa's just mad because if he's here and existing in front of him he can't pretend he's not real.
Iwa does damage control because you are going to talk to your fucking soulmate or so help me-!
Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of it either. Unless it gets resolved and the character in question gets to move on!
but I had to laugh at how they got thrown against each other like that LOL
SimplerUser: yamaguchi is like an angry chihuahua every time oikawa comes near. BARK BARK BARK I AM ADORABLE AND UPSET oh no why are you coming this way tsUKKI HELP I NEED TO HIDE BEHIND
seemingly unrequited pining is so dumb but i so dumb like it sometimes
Oikawa backs down like oh noooo he doesn't want to talk to me eiiiitherrr how sad now let's just go back to pretending yamaguchi Tadashi doesn't exist! Iwa drags him back by his ear.
if oikawa is scary iwaizumi is goddamn outright terrifying
and tsukishima glares
(ineffectually, but a glare is a glare)
Yeah iwa doesn't even notice that glare, he's too busy making sure his ex (no fucking complaints) boyfriend is going to stay put.
yamaguchi stammers out some kind of greeting
now that he's there in person it's kind of harder to be rude to oikawa
Oikawa would still not be nice. He'd put on his cheerful but brutal persona all pointing out the ways yamaguchi isn't iwa doesn't live up to what he could, with a smile showing lots of teeth
wh- it ranks amnesia but- I DON'T REMEMBER EVER PICKING AMNESIA AS A TROPE?? i legitimately don't remember seeing it, meme please
SimplerUser: yamaguchi is just heartbroken and kind of accepts it at the same time, because if his own soulmate probably thinks he must be useless then it must be the truth, right??
top 8 LMAO look at all those Number 4s
but they came out even
(pssst all you reading this i do in retrospect certainly need more telepathy/mental connection aus in my life)
oh my god akaashi undergoes an intense regimen and years of intense meditation/training for the sole purpose of keeping bokuto's inane fucking thoughts out of his gd head
OH NO
the dokis
i'm not even sure akaashi would be able to process that much dokis
BOKUTO WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT MY CLOTHES AND NOT YOUR POKEMON THIS IS THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE
ALSO, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO LOUD
gfhjkl
we are no longer double-battling after this bokuto-san
no
tolerates
aka waits out
