my favourite ina11 character and my favourite pokemon T_T

Fourth day for our inktober with @/Tablartist and @/GojoNol_ !! Today's theme was Pokemon and I can't even begin to describe how excited I was to draw this omg

ive been on an inazuma eleven kick lately. heres the dynamic of THE trio ever.

you know what isn't appreciated enough? the ways in which tsukishima takes after sugawara senpai~

it's not really emphasized by the framing of the anime like other character dynamics, but there are some pretty consistent tell-tale throughlines that hint at how much tsukki respects him. the obvious start is that tsukki never sasses or talks back to suga - sure, this is generally pretty true of all the third years, but i think he seems especially yielding to suga. suga even gets to hit him and mess up his hair, and tsukki will respond to him with reserved frustration but none of his usual irony - at worst, a very earnest "could you please stop?" he certainly has thoughts about it, but he actually exhibits resraint with that sharp tongue of his lolol i have to wonder if he holds back because suga somewhat reminds him of akiteru, who plays a similar role of being supportive, guiding, and sincere.

as for volleyball, we see from the get-go whenever he steps on the court that suga is actually a very intellectual player. he keeps a keen eye on where everyone is on the court, measuring where their strengths and weaknesses are, so that even if he doesn't have hinata's attack speed, kageyama's precision, or tsukki's high blocks, he can pinpoint the exact weak spot that only needs that little push to come apart. and then he tugs on that thread to see how much of the enemy team's formation he can unravel. his strategy is consistently on point, not unlike the play style we see tsukishima adopt as he grows out of his shell.

and i'm sure that's partially just because they happen to have a natural inclination toward the mental game of volleyball. but there are also very specific on-court habits that appear to be directly modeled after suga. the first time we get to really see suga's strength in action in s1, he's running all over his team's side of the court saying "hey you, come here, i have an idea," integrating each and every member of the team in the way that best suits their abilities. the play suga specifically asked tsukki to try is the strategic blocker switch. tsukki even tries to give him his due credit for a well-called play, but suga explains it like it's actually a really easy call to make. it's not really shown, but i do genuinely think something clicked into place for tsukki that expanded the ways he can read the court.

by season 2, tsukki is using a very similar thought process to predict where kyotani will hit and do the blocker switch with tanaka. and i don't think it's a coincidence that this is during their rematch with seijoh, the team against whom suga originally deployed this strategy.

we see tsukishima further mirror suga's play style (albeit adapted to the position of a blocker) in s3 as he becomes more confident and comfortable with his role in the team and on the court. he begins to take the initiative to conceptualize plays to share with his teammates, walking up to them individually like "ちょっと..." and asking if the team would trust him to make certain calls.

it's these little moments of behavior borrowed from suga that open tsukishima up to his teammates, especially his fellow first-years, and become that first cornerstone upon which they build up to a near-blind trust in each other throughout s4. the only one on karasuno aside from tsukki and suga who even sometimes makes these kinds of plays is kageyama, who is more directly suga's mentee by position, but arguably takes after him less than tsukishima does.

House rules are sacred

*affectionate

This kinda made me cry a little

Experimental "comic" 🐒

Elantris thoughts

I finally finished reading elantris

(I finally finished a book?!)

(AAAAAA!)

These are the things that I loved about it!

Pacing! It was quick, with the right amount of descriptions

Everything is explained in a logical way. For example the reason behind the dirt that is all over elantris, why the Aons do not work etc..

Seons. I don't know, I liked them. They are a fun concept to implement in a fantasy book.

Some characters like: Raoden, Hrathen and Roial

What I did not particularly like:

I think that it is a common thought that Sarene was too much a "not like other girls" girl. While all the other women were treated like powerless or incompetent just because they did more feminine activities

We were ROBBED of some scenes between Raoden and his old friends, like Lukel and Shunden.

I would have loved to have more lore on the other cultures like jindo and duladel

i would also have loved to have a more in depth description of the secondary characters, but I do realize that the book is already long.

Aiden?? I was very intrigued by his character and I think that the truth was a bit lost in the whole scene.

The end. Just wanted to tell somebody.

Final thoughts: I really liked it, I will proceed with other Sanderson books!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
