This week is Sk8 3rd anniversary.... So for celebrating, can I ask a few things :
-Who are your fav character from this series? Why?
-What are your fav moments from this series? -What are your opinions on this fandom's famous ships : Reki/ Langa, Cherry/ Joe, Adam/ Tadashi?
Season 2 and an OVA are coming (eventually)! Which is more than we can say for other series' so I'm going to remain delusionally hopeful. I think it'd be nice if, instead of announcing long awaited continuations, new seasons dropped like Beyonce albums. Without warning and like an unexpected blessing. Just like this ask so thank you for reaching out!
Tumblr media
FAVORITE CHARACTER
Sk8 has a wonderful band of idiots who I adore but Cherry is, by far, my favorite. Most specifically through the interactions he has with Joe because they are just so catty and mean to one another but you just know it belies an affection from their entrenched history together whether you consider them a ship them or not.
I love that Cherry had this rebellious era and continues to do so as a respectable adult while juggling such a disciplined craft and career. Like, that dichotomy is just 😘👌🏾. Goals, honestly. He maintains this split by ensuring that his S persona and his everyday persona remain mutually exclusive similar to how Adam conducts himself. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, might be kind of sad but he is, somewhat, of a man of contrasts.
Like, the way his talents splinter is so interesting. He is a founding member of S wherein he remains a threat, an established and respected calligrapher... plus, I feel like he customized Carla himself. What a nerd! Plus, Cherry is so gender. ✨
THOUGHTS ON SHIPS
Reki & Langa - idiot x idiot, I love it? But also, how silly to show someone something you love so intensely only for that love to envelope them so completely. Both in how they receive your hobby but also in how they just become a part of your life. Plus, Langa sees Reki's strengths that he takes for granted and its so necessary because they both think the sun shines out of each others' ass. Also, I see them as a reincarnation of AshEiji from Banana Fish.
Cherry & Joe - Yes. Was that not evident from above? Yes. They fight like an old (and sassy) married couple and then will have a moment of saccharine sweetness that's just... too much. There's also a hilarious sense of patience Joe must have to adapt to Cherry vs. Kaoru and its more evident because there's who the pair are when they are around others, regardless of who the others are, and then who they are when they're alone. Like, why put on the act, guys? Just kiss already.
Adam & Tadashi - As long as it's consensual, I guess, but I'm sure Tadashi could do better.
Oka & Shadow - Okay, but go with me here. Please thank the chokehold umikochannart had on keeping this ship sailing before they wiped their IG of all evidence.
Adding a few other artists guaranteed to give you the brainrot because I fell down a rabbit hole while looking for umikochann and fan artists deserve so much appreciation for covering the spread when we are awaiting new content so go follow them and join their patreons, buy them a kofi and bark on all their posts because we are not deserving of their labor: angrymorilas, bunbun.ji, @pochiikou and @ratcarney IG.
These artists are my gift to you. As a gift, that means that we should love and appreciate the people whose talents enable us to experience the characters we love even more and be thankful for, however long the stretch, the time that our favorite characters and ships were their muses. And to subsequently not be a prick when their muse changes.
⚠️ Spoiler warning for S1 of SK8 the Infinity anime.
FAVORITE MOMENTS
"Push me, Reki." - needs no explanation.
Reki defending Miya's honor - When you see Miya's backstory, his isolation is really sad and makes him vulnerable to Adam's predation but Reki punched well above his weight to defend Miya and it effectively brought the kid into the fold and I loved that. And that's on the power of friendship. ✨ Reki really subjugated everyone in that friend group and is not appreciated enough for it.
When everyone cockblocked Joe - Not every show needs a beach episode. This one does.
Sia La Luce after hours - the fact that Kaoru, after being bride carried by Joe, broke out of the hospital just to go running back to Joe is just so... beautifully chaotic and unexpected. Add a zest of Jonah Scott murmuring "We're not alone, right, Kaoru?" and I am undone.
When the might of Reki's rain wheels kicked in - Overcame insecurity by utilizing the gift he'd had all along? AGH. So perfect, so proud.
When Reki's laughter melts into that of young Adam's - only because that was really sweet
Not in the show but: sharing this series with my niece and nephew and them loving it just as much as I do. They're pretty young so the Venn Diagram of "Shows I Love" vs "Shows I Can Share With Them As A Discerning Adult" has a pretty narrow overlap. So imagine my surprise when my nephew randomly makes a SK8 joke or observation or when my niece drew fan art of Carla? We also sing and dance and laugh during the intro and outtro so I hope they remember the series affectionately when they're older.

Fic: “Where The Flowers Grow”
Tumblr media
read on AO3
Fandom: SK8 THE INFINITY
Rating: T
Summary: In the middle of his break, Hiromi gets an unexpected visit from Manager Oka.
@flashfictionfridayofficial​
Amaryllis Spray…
Poinsettia Power Charge…
Jonquil Rocket…
Hiromi types frenziedly on his phone while chugging a can of sweet melon drink.
Yes… yes! These are all the perfect skate moves for his next beef!
An alarm sets off. Hiromi examines his phone-screen, resetting it. Only thirty minutes left of his break. He bites his sandwich, wolfing it. Parking in the alley usually keeps him out of sight from customers and the store's manager. 
Ugh… 
Hiromi's heart clenches up painfully.
Why… why, why did she have to love someone else…
His thought stutter a halt as a set of knuckles rap against Hiromi's car-window. 
Manager Oka beams from the outside, waving cheerfully.
The lump of sandwich in his throat chokes him. Hiromi scrambles to get out, nearly barreling into the other man. "Y-You!" Hiromi bellows, raising a finger.
"Hiya," Manager Oka greets him, chuckling. "Sorry for catching you at a bad time. I, uh — well, I had your order."
"Oh," Hiromi grumbles, his cheeks pinkening. "Come around to the back."
He leads, hearing Manager Oka's footsteps steadily behind him. 
"Wow," Manager Oka points out, nodding to the array of bluish-purple irises and snowdrops and yellow tsubaki in a garden-plot. "Did you plant them yourself?"
"Mhm! For special arrangements!" Hiromi says excitedly.
After a moment, he forces himself to scowl and deepen his voice.
"Give me the freakin' order…"
Unfazed, Manager Oka unzips the carrier-bag, presenting Shadow's new custom-made board. "I had trouble with your sketch you provided on the deck's concept art, so let me know if — " As Manager Oka helpfully goes on, Hiromi notices Shadow's personal design backgrounded in red chrysanthemums and several 'birds of paradise' flowers. " — I can redo any of the changes — "
"Did you research these flowers?" Hiromi demands, turning pinker than before.
"Hmm?" Manager Oka glances over the skateboard, nodding. "Sure I did."
"AAACK!"
Hiromi runs his fingers through his tuft of orange hair, nervously sweating.
Love? 
Why would he use flowers meaning love and freedom and joy — AND LOVE?!
"Birds of paradise symbolize warmer climates, don't they?" Manager Oka points out, and Hiromi gawks. "Red chrysanthemums for the deep passion to your interests? Did I get that wrong or something?" 
Hiromi nearly collapses, swaying, tugging his brown apron over his head.
"Erm… it's fine as it is…"
Manager Oka shrugs.
"Alright then," he says, zipping the skateboard in and passing the carrier-bag to Hiromi. "By the way, it's nice to see someone who embraces his masculinity — and at the same time, someone who isn't afraid to enjoy pretty flowers. That's the manliest thing I can think of." Manager Oka eyes him, grinning.
WHH — ?!
Hiromi drops his apron, gawking harder.
"You can surprise me where I work next time," Manager Oka offers, disappearing out the gate with a wink and another chuckle.
After a long, heart-pounding moment of silence, a blushing Hiromi returns in. 
He woozily stares at the ceiling.
Hiromi's face beams.
Yes… yes!

New waiter at Sia la Luce rounding on a table: Happy Fathers Day, sir. Will we be needing a kids menu?
Shadow, losing his temper: Wha-what!? These aren’t my kids! I’m TWENTY FRICKIN’ FOUR!
Reki, relishing in the joke, laughing: Daddy, chill! Ramen for me.
Miya, not looking up from his switch game: Not necessary, I’ll have the chicken tenders, slime.
Langa, muttering thoughtfully: Reki.. is ramen even Italian? You order it every time we come here. Unless.. did you mean spaghetti?
Reki, reclining and rubbing his stomach: Whatever. I’m hungry and Dad’s payin’!
Shadow, steam coming from his ears threateningly: I’m not paying for shit!
Waiter, eyes the size of saucer plates at the scene escalating before him and uncertain what to do about it: …
Oka, picking up his to go order from the bar: Aren’t you worried he’ll quit like the last one?
Joe, who told the waiter to say that, laughing from the bar as the screams amplify: Worth it.
Cherry, disapprovingly rolling his eyes: As if this gorilla has the business acumen for such foresight.
Joe, mockingly changing his voice: “aS If ThIS GOriLlA-” BUT YOU STILL EAT HERE, PRINCESS. *Punctuates his insult by stealing food off Cherry’s plate.*
Cherry bristles while trying to stab Joe’s offending hand with his fork as Oka backs away from their bickering.
Tadashi, exhaling deeply while also attempting to pick up a to go order: Not a drop of intelligence anywhere.
