I think one of the most annoying (at times) things about having a hyper fixation is seeing it everywhere and in everything. I cannot consume other media without the little goblin in my brain pointing out comparisons to it, cannot see character designs without matching them to other series, etc.
I don’t know if this made sense but oh well.
(This was brought on by the fact that I am currently watching Given and cannot stop seeing Kageyama and Hinata as Uenoyama and Mafuyu ((obvious)) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I CANNOT STOP SEEING HIIRAGI AS KENMA AND SHIZUSUMI AS AKAASHI!!! It is merely character design too cuz their personalities are wildly different!!! ((Well I mean Uenoyama and Kageyama are both awkward and angry as heck and now that I think about it Shizusumi and Akaashi both kind of have that quiet aloof vibe to them))
I would just like to be able to watch/read something new without somehow relating it to Haikyuu/plotting an au of it in my head.
It is a blessing and a curse, unfortunately.
((And I don’t even particularly like kageyama x hinata, I like them much better as teasing d-bag besties and hinata as kenma’s sugar baby (which basically canon post time skip)
Sorry, I shall go back to sobbing over Mafuyu’s song now.
