Re: Your notp(s)

I'm not in the fandom, but it seems kinda obvious that people wouldn't ship Tsukishima/Yamaguchi because of the childhood friends thing more than anything else? IMO, shipping BFFs is boring as hell 99% of the time.

Re: Your notp(s)

This explanation never holds any water with me because there are tons of fandoms where the childhood friends are the juggernaut pairings. (*Cough*MakoHaru*cough*, it even beat out the angsty rival pairing for fandom supremacy!)

Also, and I don't mean this to disrespect you, and I don't mean this directed at you specifically, but every time I hear childhood friendship pairings are "boring", what I really think people are saying is "I personally don't have enough imagination/life experience/whatever to deal with it, so I go for the easy drama generated from rival pairings".

Anybody who has been in the situation where you're crushing on a childhood friend knows that there is a TON of drama that goes along with it, because you're often torn between two different kinds of love, and you have to decide, "do I potentially throw away a lifetime of friendship by making things weird between us if they don't like me back?" or "Does it become weird anyway because it turns out our friendship can't turn into romance?" etc.


(Also, since you're not in Haikyuu!! fandom, Kuroo is a dumb, dorky high school kid like the rest of them but whenever he gets shipped with Tsukishima (who he barely knows, they trained for like a week together, and Tsukishima kind of hates/dislikes him) fandom turns him this creepyweird pornstar lothario because the reality is they just want someone who they feel is ~manly~ enough to dominate Tsukishima. Let's be real though, any sex ANY of these characters would be having is going to be awkward teenage boy fumbling sex.)

DA - What I mean when I say I don't ship childhood friend pairings is "I could never have feelings for any of my childhood friends because I've known them since we were gross little kids together and they're almost like my siblings. Childhood friends becoming a couple is an unrelatable situation for me and I don't want to read about it." Is that good enough for you?

super late, but what the hell:

a big part of the reason i'm never into best friend ships is because it very often comes across like friendship is less important than romance, like it's some kind of step down & you can't (platonically) love your friends just as strongly as you'd love a boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever. so it's nothing but weird to me when people try to make all these accusations towards people for not shipping friends, when it really just is that they enjoy the canon relationship for what it is.

(or for het pairings, it plays into the idea that straight men & women can't be just friends, they HAVE to get together eventually)

i've only read some of the haikyuu manga, and i've never actually considered tsukishima/kuroo as a pairing, tbh? the way you're describing it absolutely sounds terrible, but ooc behaviour in fic's nothing new to fandom. would you like the pairing better if they were properly written, or?

anyway, the part that throws me is that you're trying to act like it's definitely a fans-being-shallow thing, but absolutely everyone is a dorky moron in haikyuu, no exceptions. yamaguchi really isn't special in being weird-looking/too cute/not-suave/whatever. like i have to assume people ship kageyama/hinata, and how is hinata any different?
