bakugo dreads getting picked up from the airport by izuku because he makes a whole scene even tough they were only apart for 3 months, so he asks his good friend eijirous and tbh eijirou is worse because he's bigger brighter and louder help,,,,,,,
i'm rewatching haikyuu and i can't believe i forgot how lovely hinata is. like, he's so pure and genuine in his love for volleyball. no wonder everyone felt in love with him, he's the kind of person you want in your life. he might not be the brightest for everything else, but you know he'll be honest and positive for you.
and now i’m crying again
skip and loafer - chapter 68 / alex dimitrov - love and other poems
this episode was absolutely incredible i just had to come and write about it. the entire season, in my opinion, has been so well done. hashira training arc has always been a favorite of mine and seeing it brought to life has been amazing!
episode 8 was the icing on the cake to an amazing season. one of my favorite things about kny is how it discusses humanity and mortality. this final ep did such a great job at showing the power of human emotions.
kagaya stands amongst the many demon slayer corp members who have passed while he speaks to muzan about the concept of eternity. as we all know, humans don't live forever and this is very prominent in demon slayer. however, kagaya understands how powerful feelings can be. although many people will die, their dreams and hopes will continue. kagaya does not fear death because he understands his goal will live through the hashira.
this LINE is one of my favorites ever. for as long as muzan has existed, not one person has forgiven him for what he has done. the anger and grief that people have felt live forever. muzan believes humans are disgusting, inferior creatures but at this moment, kagaya shows that humans are something to be feared. muzan can never understand the lifelong anger humans are capable of. not one person will ever forget what muzan has done, they will never forgive him, they will never show him kindness. humans have used their anger & hatred to dedicate themselves to ending muzan. muzan will never understand this concept. all of these lanterns represent the lives muzan has ruined, falling down all around him while he stands unbothered. there are HUNDREDS of lanterns that float around muzan, so many lives that he has ruined, yet he does not care. but that doesn't matter, because the power of feelings are greater than muzan's indifference. THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN MUZAN.
the art in this scene was insane. the tiger and the dragon morphing into the hashira was done so well. for so long, kagaya has waited for this moment to take down muzan and we see in this scene how the goals and feelings of the hashira have formed into a beast of its own. despite muzan living for so long, he can never comprehend the power of human emotions. as i said before, human emotions have the ability to transcend time. humans affect one another; they understand their lives are short, yet live to pursue their own goals no matter what. this is what muzan does not understand.
this scene was so well done i can't get enough of it. this was such a great episode and is definitely my favorite one so far! the manga was already amazing and then ufotable was able to animate it into this insane piece of media i can't get over it!!
overall 10/10 scene. 10/10 episode. i love demon slayer.
kagehina's interactions will always feel so special, even after all the time that they spent apart. their journeys will forever remain intertwined, and i wanted to pay tribute to their bond in a post time-skip setting. i took inspiration from the bonus chapter about kageyama, hinata, kindaichi, and kunimi playing beach volleyball, which was so moving. kageyama has come so far, i'm so proud of him </3
tobio’s feet sink into the warm sand, a pleasant morning breeze blowing through his t-shirt. it isn’t as hot as he thought it would be, but the sun is already high in the bright blue sky and he is grateful for the sunglasses shoyo lent him before they took their respective positions across the net, facing one another. shoyo knows the basics like the back of his hand: sunscreen, sunglasses, caps, bottles of water filled to the brim. he took care of everything.
“kageyama!” he calls from the other end of the court, enthusiastically waving his hand at tobio. “i’m ready!”
as he takes a few steps back, getting ready to serve, tobio twirls the ball in his hands, feeling its lighter weight, trying to get used to the way the slightly different fabric feels against his palms. he had hit thousands of serves, sent hundreds of tosses to a multitude of spikers, yet somehow this does not feel quite the same. perhaps because it’s shoyo he is playing against, and his eagerness to get good at something shoyo cares about is drilled into him like a habit he cannot unlearn.
in this moment, it doesn’t matter that tobio is a professional volleyball player, that he competed in the 2016 brazil olympic games, that he has been graciously called a young prodigy. all that matters to tobio now is whether or not the ball will land on hinata’s side of the court, right onto the spot his gaze is fixed on. he may be used to it, the feeling still wrenches his gut in a wave of excitement: he wants to play with shoyo, and he wants to win.
it takes tobio a few tries to get it right. the wind is not easy to forget about, since he has never had to take it into account before, but the way the sand curls around his ankles, slowing down his movements, is no less of a pain. he curses, growls at the sand, yells at the atmosphere.
shoyo laughs heartily and brags about finally being better at something than tobio, though he can see him regain control by the minute. he tells tobio his favourite saying, “the sand is kind.”
by the end of the first hour, tobio has adapted. a fast learner, he gets used to the beach as well as oikawa did, if not even quicker. his spikes get more precise, he controls his serves better. finally, he scores several points in a row, even if shoyo still won the first set.
“i’ll win this one.” tobio says, a familiar grin playing on his lips.
shoyo smiles back, his eyes narrowing at the sight of kageyama throwing the ball back into the air. “bring it on.”
THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭😭
*smoooooooooooch*
i finished alabasta saga!! alabasta arc is 100% my fav arc so far!! so much fun, the story was amazing, the writing was great
i loved meeting ace! he was so much better than i expected! i knew he was a fan favorite but he was so much sweeter and kinder than i thought he would be!
robin’s character is very interesting to me & i’m excited she has joined the straw hats! i have always wanted to see more of her and i’m hoping i get more info on her soon!
vivi is amazing! her character was so beautiful & i felt myself get more invested in the story because of how strongly she felt about her situation. i hope we get to see her again one day!
this saga was so much fun! i switched between the manga & anime and i thought it was the best way for me! i’m so excited to see what comes next!
i’m so kagehina coded that whenever i think of soulmates i think of them…because what else possibly explains their relationship?? from that game in middle school, to meeting again at karasuno?? that fateful meeting at karasuno changed their LIVES!! they became better players, better people, and finally found someone to call a PARTNER all because THEY FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN! during timeskip, it didn't matter that they were on opposite sides of the world because THEY WERE CONNECTED!! they were destined to stay together forever! i can just imagine them as old grandpas playing volleyball like they were first years again…
i would literally do anything to watch hxh for the first time again. i miss killua and gon so badly i rewatch scenes just to get the feeling back...hunter x hunter is such an amazing series and killugon have become favorites of mine for the long term. i hope we get to see them again soon <3
