Jannik with Kei at the Miami Open 2024
Okay here's the thing yeah I watched a lot of Kei's matches when I was younger, and liking the anime 'Prince of Tennis' led me to knowing Kei as a person bcs the author met him few times before and his career during the big 4 domination was noteworthy for everyone. I truly enjoyed his matches when I started watching tennis, and I wish him nothing but the very best. I was truly happy for him when he got the WC for Miami, and despite everything, the comeback journey would be slow but steady for him. I wish to see him again winning matches against younger players (he mentioned he wanted to play Carlitos before), and that would make me happy for him. Everything about him and Raonic made me reminisce about my teenage days as a tennis fan, and I'm glad I can watch them again after a few years. This picture means a lot to me as well. I hope everything will be alright for him ♡

友人が出演する芝居を観に行った帰りの空
いい芝居だった、とても。
あの時、ほかの選択をしていたら、、過去に戻ってやり直したいも思う時がある本当にやり直しができて、それをしてみても、やっぱりどこかでうまく行かない。今度はそこに戻ってやり直す、、でもまた他のところでうまくいかなくなるそんなことをしているうちに、自分が死に近づく、、やり直す作業をしているだけの人生で終わるのだ。
一度きりの生 苦しんだり悩んだり後悔したり、、、それをしながらあがいて掴んでみたり、切り替えて方向転換歩き始めたり、思うように行かなくても落ちたり上がったりしながら生きていけば、死ぬ時には穏やかなココロで逝けるのではないか。
やり直したいと思ってもいい。悩んで考えて考えて、それを準備にすればいいのだ。
そんな芝居を観れたから、空が私によかったね、とエンディングを見せてくれたような気がした。
Sky on the way home from seeing a play in which a friend of mine performed. It was a good play, very good.
We live only once. We suffer, we worry, we regret, we struggle, we grasp, we switch, we change direction, we start walking, and even if things don't go our way, we fall and rise as we go along.It is okay to want to start over. We can worry and think about it, and then prepare for it.
Because I was able to see such a play, I felt as if the sky was showing me the ending, saying, "Good for you.

For the fruit emoji ask game, please! 🍈 and or 🍇
🍈 who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.
kageyama shigeo. i... identify with him a normal amount. (on the surface, i actually have more in common with his brother! the former 'gifted' kid struggle is real)
he has genetic anemia (thalassemia minor). shigeo keeps up his strength with weightlifting at home and night jogs around his neighborhood on a regular basis, in addition to a balanced diet. he can't work out fasted; he'll pass out. he's also frequently cold, though all the muscle he's built up over time helps some.
i don't think he'd be a stress eater. his appetite would be the first thing to go under duress... except for milk, hot or cold. if he's really stressed out? a cigarette, more for the smell than the taste (he thinks they taste awful; this is why they're a last resort).
he's a salaryman who works for his city government in the urban planning department. his specialty? traffic accident prevention.
i think shigeo is actually a pretty sharp guy when he applies himself, or when an issue is particularly meaningful for him, hence his life's work. he also has a sizable amount of emotional intelligence. since The Incident™ he's gained a reputation for working harmoniously with 'difficult' people. though his current kōhai (subordinate) is testing his limits a bit...
he's got a bit of a prankster streak, though not on the level of someone like his confidant hanazawa teruki. his is more understated: a deadpan, a snarky quip, a seized opportunity to rattle someone's nerves on the spot. as you can imagine, that and the above bullet point are not infrequently at odds.
he still wrestles with big emotions. sometimes they overwhelm him. over the years, he's come up with a few ways to deal: cloudsitting; jogging; cooking or eating a good meal; silent moments with his own thoughts, often sitting upside-down in midair, or upside-down sprawled over the back of his sofa; cuddling with teruki, with or without conversation; deep chats with loved ones in general; getting a good massage from his old shishou on occasion; earplugs or a blindfold or soft, wispy textures on his skin.
i see him as a fastidious minimalist, almost to the point of asceticism. he owns only what he needs and uses and no more. i think over time he'd either make adjustments to help others feel more comfortable in his home... or refuse to change anything at all. perhaps both at different times in his life.
while he and teruki do share a fairly deep and cuddly intimacy, at this point in his life he's single and content with that.
most of these show up in my post-canon mp100 fics on ao3. i have more in the works, i promise.
