important things about hinata!!
- hinata is NOT an asshole! he is blunt, and can sometimes come off as rude, but he is not trying to offend anyone
- hinata isn’t very good at socializing, but he’s actually a really great listener, which can be shown in a lot of freetime events!!
- believe it or not, he actually does care about what his friends do, and will often do things he doesn’t quite understand so that they’ll be happy (there is a limit to this, however)
- hinata is a human being. he can get fed up with people, and probably has a shorter fuse than normal, but can be incredibly patient at the same time.
- hinata!! does not hate!! komaeda!! he’s confused, and doesn’t understand him, but he still makes an effort to talk to him. once again, he gets fed up a lot, but he is a human just like everyone else
- a fact that’s actually forgotten by a number of people is that hinata loves hope’s peak, almost to the point of idolization. he may very well have that in common with komaeda, actually
- he has a tsundere-ish personality, but it’s shown that he actually gets flustered very easily (ie; getting nervous being in a room full of girls in swimsuits)
- hinata is most likely the type of person who won’t exactly understand when he’s being flirted with unless you outright tell him
- contrary to popular belief, hinata does NOT think highly of himself, and actually has been shown to have pretty low self-esteem. (it’s pretty heavily hinted towards this in chapter 6, but i won’t delve into that too much)
- hinata is actually really shy and awkward around people, especially if they’re bossy and/or demanding
- however this does not stop him from being hella sarcastic quite a bit of the time
- hinata does not actually smile very much in canon, but when he does he can be very very cute!!
