you say youre a kageyama fan but have you done THIS? anyway spoilers for season 4, episode 6 but in case youd actually like to see a transcript of my kageyama meta:

for reference in case you dont know exactly what happens in s4 ep 6, this is the Recrowning of Kageyama Tobio. hinatas silly little towel crown and tobio learning its okay to be kind of a king

• after kageyama got shot down in middle school AND was unsynced with hinata the way he managed to make quicks with hinata work was after suga told him that a good setter sets the ball to what is accessible for the spiker, and not just the most opportune place at the time. following this kageyama was skilled enough to acclimate to the other spikers easily and there wasnt any kind of external pressure on him to revert to the king
• HOWEVER after the national training camp kageyama was able to play with other extremely talented volleyball players so now hes USED to the level of skill from that week, which is shown in the way he noticed komori (the libero) moving out of the way and then noticed that in nishinoya
• paired with atsumu calling him That: going back to my first point kageyama wasnt actually pushing the rest of the team, he was just doing normal setter duties. he was getting the ball to where it needed to be. atsumus bitchy little personality, god bless his soul i wish he were me and i want to maul him to death, TOLD him he was a goody two shoes because thats EXACTLY what kageyama was. if you look in the previous episodes you can notice snippets where kageyama directly asks feedback from asahi/tsukishima on his sets so that way they can spike easier
  
• this is operating off of what i will affectionately dub the oikawa principle: by giving spikers the best sets they can receive, they will spike at their best
• after the national training camp kageyama starts to display his more kingly traits not just because hes used to the higher level of skill from the past week, but also because despite giving his team the best sets possible theyre still failing. THIS is why he started yelling. behold the kageyama mental dialogue:
  
• if my sets are good but the spiker is failing, that means the spiker is not doing enough. they either need to get faster (proven to fail), spike higher (learnt and acted upon) or simply Be Better 
• if my sets are good but we lost the point, someone on the team isnt doing their job. it cant be me because im doing my job to the best work possible
• now paraphrased he SAID “i KNOW my sets are good so PLEASE score the point” kageyamas confidence is NOT UNFOUNDED!!!! HE KNOWS HIS SETS ARE GOOD! THERE IS PROOF! the rest of the team failing is only dragging him down AND ITS AGAINST KAGEYAMAS PRINCIPLE TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!
  
• his entire heart and soul in the team dynamics of volleyball is rooted in bringing people up with him so they can continue playing better and better players and to keep playing more and more volleyball. its why he didnt let this pass by its why he has to SAY something
  
• now hinatas literally his soulmate for this because he tells kageyama being bossy is OKAY because he honestly is saying… the truth. they just wont listen if hes being too rude which is fair. regardless hinata redefining the meaning of “king” and placing it upon kageyama is like the key that pretty much lets kageyama know its OKAY to demand more of his spikers if it makes them win. his job isnt just to give them sets they want its to give them the sets they NEED to WIN
  
• hence why he started pushing tsukishima to spike higher to get past date techs blocks. hence why he learned the special toss for hinata to push him to spike better. hence why hes taking notes on being kinder to his spikers and communicating with them. deep down in his heart he truly cares so fucking much about his team and he knows hes good enough to start climbing the ladder but now he knows he cant get there solo which is why hes working to bring the rest of the team up with him

i literally love him so much. he makes me so emotional
