the twins both being just fast enough to save a life with a racquet and sheer desperation, can I get an Amen
"If Andrew had been a half-second slower-"

the best thing about haikyuu is that you expect it to be boring at first, and when you start watching it, your impression doesn't change much because it's your average protagonist trying to be the best in his field. but as you start watching more episodes, you are welcomed by these dynamics of so many characters, each contributing and aiding the protagonist towards success whether it be an enemy or a teammate. and you end up rooting for that orange furball because somewhere you find bits and pieces of yourself in the plethora of characters and they end up becoming your friends even if you don't know them. even if they are not real, but just watching them feels like you are surrounded by good people and it provides you so much comfort. yeah it isn't an anime that will blow your mind in the first 5 minutes, but a strange place that slowly starts feeling like home.

i've seen a lot of posts about how andrew must have had to start running to neil before riko raised his racquet (because he has trained himself to predict violence from body language cues or because he just knew riko was about to do something).
and here's my thoughts. i don't think it would have been such an open-and-shut case of self-defence if andrew had started running before riko indicated any violence towards neil. i think, if the footage of that game showed that andrew started running before the need for self-defence arose, someone would have exploited that legal and circumstantial technicality to argue that andrew's intention was never to defend neil, but to hurt riko. the whole self-defence claim could have crumbled on the basis of that one little detail. throw in andrew's criminal record and the long history of public enmity between the foxes and the ravens, and i think there could have been a third trial in the foxes' near future.
which is why I don't think andrew started running before riko raised his racquet at all. i do think he was faster to react, because he was raised around violent people, and because it was neil. but it was an even closer call than it would have been otherwise. which makes it just as amazing, in my opinion. when he ran, he ran like hell was on his heels, and it was all for neil.

Do you think Jean is sex repulsed as a result of his trauma? The way he’s actively trying to repress his feelings of attraction to people is giving sex repulsed
I'll preface this by saying that I am in no way and expert of these things, but I wouldn't say that, no. He clearly experiences sexual attraction, and it's not that he doesn't want to act on it; it's more that he's scared? But would I be me if I didn't provide excessive evidence? No, let's gooooo
Tumblr media
(The Sunshine Court, ch.11)
I think it's only fitting to start with Jean's beach party bi panic™️ he refers to his attraction to Laila as inappropriate and his attraction to Jeremy as dangerous. He's not disgusted by it, though? He just doesn't seem to think he's allowed to feel that way. He seems more frustrated than anything, I think. He's giving 'why is everyone fucking hot?!' vibes, like he thinks it's cruel because he thinks he's not allowed to do anything about it?
I do think that it's interesting that he doesn't deny it when confronted about it, though. Like, Jeremy straight up (no pun intended) calls him out on his very poorly concealed sexuality and he didn't bother to even try lying.
Tumblr media
(The Sunshine Court, Ch.12)
Jean being unable to lie to Jeremy is a common theme, which I could rant about separately, but Jean caring more about Lucas insulting Jeremy's integrity than his friends knowing he's bi doesn't scream disgust or aversion to me. In fact, I may go as far as to say that this suggests that he isn't trying all that hard to repress his sexuality in the first place.
Jumping onto the next chapter, we've got some more of Jean's idea of what he is 'allowed' and him actively testing that boundary, just a tiny bit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The Sunshine Court, Ch.13)
Jean-Yves, my precious baby boy, you are allowed to feel how you feel! Personally, this isn't giving me sex repulsed vibes either, though. Yet again, this isn't about what he wants, it's about what he is allowed (Riko, I hope you are burning in hell 💕).
But even with the belief that he isn't allowed to be attracted to Jeremy, Jean still dips his toe in, just the tiniest bit. I'm hoping this is a taste of what's to come, and Jean will feel more able to try things as Jeremy continues to prove that their attraction to each other isn't inherently unsafe. The fact that he's testing it at all, and that he seems happy with the outcome, suggests to me that he may be open to trying things once he feels safe.
For my final point, we're sticking with chapter 13 for sex toy gate!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It might just be me, but this reaction doesn't give 'sex repulsed'. It's giving kid being teased by his friend or mortified by their older sibling. It's iconic, it's hilarious, he's a blushy little boy. I really hope that we see something more about this in tsc2. I think that, once he is done dying of embarrassment, Laila's thinking might not be too far off.
Riko is dead, Tetsuji is gone, Jean isn't imprisoned in the Nest anymore. He is free and safe to explore his sexuality and I think/hope we will get to see Jean realise this in the future. It has the potential to be really beautiful.

Neil makes SCRAPS of appearances in tsc but he serves cunt and leaves. Absolute legend. I get now why Jean was at his wits end with this guy. He orders drinks and food, makes fucking fbi agents WAIT for him then sits in an INTERROGATION and eats take out as if it's just another day for him. Jean probably got 20 separate heart attacks because of this man and then this gremlin goes ahead and orders a hit on the behalf of a man he knew only in pain while sitting in a very public diner and waiting on fbi agents to show up and drag them away.
Neil Fucking Josten, Andrew has his hands full. Never a dull day with him.

Today on ‘I’m Stupid’, a life series by me, tell me how it took me seven years and FOUR rereads to realise Neil Josten’s 10 is the mirror image of Riko Moriyama’s 01 😩

I was the same way! I knew Andrew was there- I understood he was there right on time and he saved Neil's life. But it never clicked to me that he was across the court and he had to get there on time or anything until Jean was observing it and describing it. I swear, I just thought Andrew was leisurely walking up and just got there on time because Andrew is reliable like that and would somehow just know that he needed to be there & not that he was across the court, saw what was happening, and booked it over there 😓
I had to read the parts that covered the game repeatedly. It was such an adrenaline rush but it puts so many other aspects into place.
andrew SPRINTED! i need you all to understand! andrew RAN FOR NEIL. i don’t know why this never clicked in my head because neil was about to get fucking killed and of course andrew was there. but the fact that andrew ran for him, after an entire series of neil running and realizing what it meant to stay—this was andrew’s final nail in the coffin that neil’s this isn’t nothing was real after all. i need to lay on the ground

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.
Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

ok what if Palmetto State decided to make a sexy exy calendar to sell as merch
neil Will Not appear with his arms or torso bare and he poses like a deer in the headlights alien cryptid gumby but they don’t even have eight players so they NEED HIM… and Andrew suggests they have him run
so he ends up Mr. September, longsleeve shirt and tiny short shorts, caught mid-stride
and andrew hates it!!!!!
tell me in the tags/reblogs what everyone else’s pages would be and WHO has to double up

Me: trying to remember everything I have to for an exam and STRUGGLING
Also me: You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you’re physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.

Jeremy: *passes out right after Neil and Jean leave*
Laila: JEREMY! What’s wrong?
Jeremy, delirious: two of them, hot, so so hot, sexy men, I’m so gay, French, beautiful men
Jeremy: *passes out again*
