kuroo's dad looking a little sloppy (for lack of a better way to put it) really makes me think that kuroo must've gotten his rather laidback personality from him...that lazy, "it is what it is" smile says sooo much
sawamura daichi for president ๐ฃ๐ขโจ
thank you so much
@13tucan
for the comm!! he's all i ever dreamed of....now excuse me while i go stare at his pecs for the next 24 hours ๐ฆ
daichi who thinks kuroo hates him for no apparent reason because he bullies him in the weirdest ways - except it's really because kuroo gets cute aggression around him and he doesnt know how else to express it
kurodai where daichi is getting hit on by someone at a bar and whoever kuroo is talking to some distance away goes "uh i think your boyfriend is getting hit on" so kuroo turns around, sees daichi, and calls out "ooh yeah, get some, babe!"
kurodai fake dating "and they were roommates" au where one morning daichi wakes up, walks into the kitchen, and kisses kuroo good morning before going to make breakfast and kuroo just goes ????
kurodai "and they were roommates, literally" uni au where kuroo commutes to campus from home and daichi has his own apartment, so sometimes kuroo crashes at daichi's place when he studies too late at the library or he's at a party and the trains stop running
when daichi is really hungry at a restaurant, he nods and pretends to listen to whatever kuroo is saying but in reality he's watching for their food to come out of the kitchen
i love kurodai where daichi is the least romantic person ever and every time kuroo tries to flirt or be sweet on him it falls SO flat because daichi's like "???? what are you doing"
cherry magic kurodai au where kuroo and daichi are employees at the same company who constantly compete with each other over everything and hate each other's guts - until one day, daichi wakes up and finds out he can hear people's thoughts through physical contact
kuroo who is normally cool, suave, confident but becomes a total dorky and incoherent mess around daichi, who thinks kuroo is just Like That all the time
alright, classic kurodai au where daichi thinks kuroo doesn't like him (like, at all) because whenever they have a conversation, kuroo always replies kinda short and clipped whereas with anyone else, he's charming and sociable
@rinreadsmanga
i absolutely adore the manga (aside from general storytelling and characters) for this exact reason! apparently furudate used to work at a design company so it makes sense that they'd pay particular attention to layout and how elements direct the viewer's eye around the page
kurodai uni au where captainsquad forms a club designed to help people with their love lives called "lonely hearts love agency" and the number 1 rule is you must be single - except daichi and kuroo end up falling in love with each other
ordinary guy daichi who somehow catches the eye of extremely powerful billionaire kuroo and is bemused to find himself on the receiving end of some very lavish and expensive attention
thinking about foodie daichi who loves to check out new trendy food spots and smitten kuroo who accompanies him "so he doesn't have to eat alone" which results in two grown men towering over a bunch of teen girls and women as they all wait in line for the newest pancake cafe
#kurodai
rival to lovers patisserie au where daichi owns a small bakery that suddenly becomes extremely popular because famous singer/actor suga shared it on his instagram as one of his favorite places for chocolate croissants
daichi is half asleep so he does not remember kissing kuroo but kuroo has the world's biggest crush on daichi and after this morning kiss he is Wide Awake
imagine daichi sitting on the couch, wearing shorts, and a drunk kuroo sitting on the ground between his legs and carefully sticking stickers all over daichi's thighs
kurodai idol au where boygroup leader daichi is known for being one of the nicest people ever EXCEPT during games whenever fellow group member kuroo is involved he'll suddenly swear like he'd majored in cursing
daichi's just sitting there staring into space and kuroo can't help but grab both of his cheeks and squish
daichi: ??????? what the???!!?
kuroo, pinching his cheeks hard: fml
kurodai first name trope except when kuroo tells daichi that he can call him "tetsurou" daichi hits him with a "oh that's okay, i feel more comfortable with saying kuroo"
suga, at the dept store: excuse me i lost my friend, can i make an announcement? *leans towards the mic* sawamura daichi if you don't kiss kuroo tetsurou right now i'm leaving you here
kurodai where daichi's never had someone come onto or act sweet to him before so he has no idea how to react - and unfortunately for kuroo, this means that he gets so flustered by kuroo's flirting that he unintentionally keeps rejecting him
give me same college kurodai who go out to eat lunch and dinner together, acting like a married couple** even with their friends
**they're not together
@angeIdaichi
RIGHT?? scouts and coaches had to be actively recruiting him because he led a no name team to nationals AND got into best 8, beating out the favorite to win ๐ค they recognized 1. his leadership abilities as captain and 2. his receiving skills (esp that kamomedai receive!!)
kuroo, grabbing daichi's collar and getting up close and personal: sawamura, you just make me- UGH
daichi, after kuroo stomps away: ???????????????????
a hint of sun (after hours) โ๏ธ
kurodai, rated T, 23k, california au
In which Tetsurou goes to buy a hot dog for Bokuto and ends up spending an entire night showing a handsome stranger what San Diego has to offer - including Tetsurou's own heart.
semantic satiation ๐
kurodai, rated t, seven days au
When Daichi asks the infamous Kuroo Tetsurou out on an impulse, the last thing he expects is for Kuroo to accept.
updates daily โฌ๏ธ link in replies
celebrity kurodai where daichi checks social media once a month to see what his fans are talking about and makes kuroo suffer by asking him what all the internet slang is
@rinreadsmanga
what's also great is how they contrast elements between panels - singular figures with a plain bg vs many characters against a busy bg - and also their use of very big, simple compositions to highlight climactic, impactful moments (ex. hinata's inarizaki receive)
waiter: the gentleman at the bar wanted to buy you a drink
daichi: oh, please tell him thank you but we're actually on a date
kuroo: daichi, if someone wants to show their appreciation for you then i say let them. it's not fair to society for me to monopolize you
daichi: jesus-
@HlNAGARASU
i wasnt on anitwt then but i remember reading this and being SHOOK at furudate taking the protag out of what i considered the "final boss" match..and then doing a full ass time skip showing hinata in fcking BRAZIL of all places
man i love the thought of alpha kuroo falling in love with beta daichi who is honestly a little ??? about this whole abo thing and is super confused when kuroo starts coming onto him
thinking about same school kurodai where kuroo participates in the item scavenger race during the athletic festival and after approximately 1 second of reading his item prompt, he races over to the opposing team to pull daichi up by the hand to take with him to the finish line
kurodai missed connections au where kuroo is a photographer who takes a photo of a man sitting by himself at the nearby park, thinking nothing of it at the time - only to go home and find that it's quite possibly one of the most beautiful photos he's ever taken
cafe barista: i like your sweater by the way!
daichi: thank you :)
kuroo: he looks amazing in it doesn't he?? i almost took it right off him when he put it on this morning
daichi: tetsurou please
kurodai bon appetit test kitchen au where kuroo and daichi are recipe testers who continuously show up in each other's episodes to provoke and make fun of each other
i had some wine so i'm feeling kinda crazy but thinking about daichi being the type of drunk who does a 180 and flirts with every single breathing thing in the vicinity
everyone thinks daichi is the typical embarrassing dad in the relationship but little do they know that KUROO is the one who pulls out all the stops in embarrassing their kids in public
rando passing by at a bar: hey you're cute!
kuroo: isn't he? i appreciate him so much, and it makes me happy to hear that coming from other people-
daichi: i'm so sorry, ignore him. thank you for the compliment, i think you look very nice too
rando at a bar: i'm sorry to interrupt you guys but i just wanted to let you know that i think your vibe is incredible
kuroo: oh no, if you're going to compliment my bf then by all means, interrupt
you make me ๐

On a cold winter's night, anti-romantic Tetsurou meets Sawamura Daichi, who, over the course of a year, makes him rethink his stance on love.
daichi only has a queen bed in his room but the first night is after a party and they're both so plastered that they just fall onto his mattress together and pass out. the next morning daichi is nonchalant about it because he used to share a futon w suga and asahi all the time+
and what's not to like about him? he's friendly, helpful, nice, and charming. everyone daichi has talked to only has good things to say about kuroo, some of them positively gushing - so daichi can't help but feel a little bemused - and hurt - that he seems to be the one+
they both find that they prefer staying in so on fridays they have movie nights and saturday mornings they debate superior sports anime over the best omelets daichi has ever had in his LIFE and saturday nights they try to destroy each other at mario party while drunk
daichi really doesn't know what he did to get on kuroo's bad side. not that he cares that much about one person's opinion - no one's gonna like every single person they meet - but it still kinda stings a little because kuroo is pretty much friends with, well, /everyone/
