trio sketches
i love skip and loafer so much!!! it's one of the best new mangas being released, and the anime captures the beauty of the manga so well. characters like mitsumi are so hopeful and hardworking that you feel inspired to be just like her!! she's someone everyone can look up to, her energy is so infectious i can never get enough of her character! shima's character is so amazingly written, and his journey of self-discovery is so moving. shima is taking the time to find his interests and navigate his feelings toward friends/potential partners. it makes me so emotional to see how much effort he puts into bettering himself, and you can't help but root for him!! mitsumi and shima are one-of-a-kind characters that remind you of how special youth is. i will always love shimamitsu and skip & loafer!!!!!!!!!!!
out of all the haikyuu ships, kagehina has always been the one i’ve loved the most. not even JUST in haikyuu but it’s my favorite ship across ALL media. they started off having a team and being alone to forming a connection so strong it transcends distance and time. they’re so comforting to me. the idea that kageyama & hinata will always have someone that understands them makes me feel so happy. it was their fateful meeting at karasuno that started it all for them. a rivalry for life. a partner forever. i love them so very much.
romance as a subplot is SOOOOO GOODDDDD because 98% of the time it's an intense slowburn that develops over several chapters. the story focuses on the plot or character development more but somehow it makes the romance SO MUCH BETTER!!! idk how to explain it it's just so good...like when an author's focus is more on characters and plot it gives you as the reader a deeper connection to the characters which makes the romantic/platonic aspect so much better
kageyama tobio being so afraid that no one will ever be there when he tosses and here comes hinata shoyo yelling "I'M HERE" breaking through all that noise. as long as kageyama is serving tosses, hinata will always be there ready for it. they complete each other.
yearning is such a beautiful thing. what i love about yearning and slowburn is that while the romance progresses, you can get to know the characters better, which makes the audience see how deep the bond in the relationship is. all the small moments have meaning. every interaction, every thought, and every glance means something and is a way to emphasize how much love (platonic or romantic) the characters have for one another. there is something so beautiful about yearning because it's so human to want something so badly, but you have a part of you that is afraid you'll never get it. romantic or not, i love watching/reading characters find their person and learning all about each other, becoming so close and connected that it's hard to imagine life without the other. yearning to know more, yearning to be closer. it's so beautiful to me!
obsessed with the new skip and loafer art from the recent collab!! mitsumi posts a picture with all her friends while shima post a pic of only the two of them!! i find it so sweet that mitsumi is shima’s favorite person. they have so much affection for one another, it’s beautiful!
