im not one to ship characters unless they are canon - for non-canon max is just me thinking that 'oh they are a cute duo!' , nor did I think about Nishinoya and Tanaka as lovers..
Ironically, just yesterday I was thinking "Man.. Logically Tanaka and Nishinoya just might aswell be a better duo than any other Tanaka + (someone) duo or any other Nishinoya + (someone) duo. But It feels kinda weird tho- cant see them do romantic stuff.. most is probably '*kiss* no homo dude' "
But my my.. idk if its just because of your art or because it has a very wholesome and cute prompt (or both possibly) but I got goosebumps! LOL (personally still dont do ships, but your art is really temptinggggg)
(anywhooo- as a Noya and generally just a haikyuu girlie tho! Love love love how you draw him and the others!!)
Ahhh thank you so much!! It's true, Noya really is my beloved son boy and it shows... Funnily enough, I didn't actually come in the fandom already liking Tananoya as ship lol. I love Noya and Tanaka both separately as characters and I like their general dynamic. And they just make the most sense to me for each other?
Which I think might also a big appeal for the other people I know who are into them as well. Their dynamic as friends, just goofing off and being stupid with each other, is a big part of their appeal as a ship. And you know, sometimes friends are in love and make out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Idk if you ever want to venture into fics too (no pressure) but then you'll notice that this dynamic is def something that will continuously come up, even sometimes with the no-homo and bromance jokes lol
It def doesn't come across as much in my art because i am not big into making comics and I love me some yearning, smitten gazes but I, too, fully think these two as ship as just as goofy and silly and stupid as they are as just platonic friends.
