I'm so unbelievably susceptible to the famous secret relationship trope it's unreal actually

#like. is this my way of getting my rpf fix or something without actually engaging in rpf? #actual miracle that I'm not a g*ylor if we're being honest. bc I just saw someone advertising their book that's coming out in a few months #on tiktok. and it's undeniably a g*ylor book the author is undeniably a g*ylor there's a high chance it won't be good bc I saw it on tiktok #AND YET. ANYWAY. I WAS LIKE “OOH SOUNDS INTERESTING” OK. GET HELP!!! #that's why g*ylors are like that actually bc g*ylor conspiracy theories make great stories #it's just that they think it's cool to treat real people like fictional stories #anyway. other examples of me having issues. um. I rush to band aus youtuber aus reality tv aus actor aus etc in fanfic #uh. most well known example of published books obviously rwrb. I also loved the seven husbands of evelyn hugo #I've read two (2)!! different boy band secret relationship books. so. #my favorite part is always the fake social media I'm filled with glee imagining the in universe rpf fandom losing their mind #there's nothing a bitch loves more than a fake twitter thread or tumblr post #I do this even with works that don't focus on the celebrity aspect like I read aftg and technically they're well known college athletes #so even though the hypothetical in universe sports fandom isn't a huge part of it I'm still reading it like I KNOW TWITTER IS ON FIRE RN!!!

#been sitting w this all day like i don’t know… how any of this big b Behaviour gets better #when i looked at the blog of the person who said y’know. i wanna execute him myself. or whatever. one of their next posts was about applyin #for jobs at f1 teams. and there’s a tiktok with what’s presumably their actual name attached. like please don’t pile on or be shitty toward #them but my god is this the disconnect? that you think you can wish death upon a driver in a fan space and apply to work in their immediate #environment? like fundamentally the issue is some of you clearly just do not see drivers as people and do not see the sport as having any #kind of stakes and like we can get into the way that fanspace relationships function these days but like. it’s no excuse? y’all are GROWN #like it’s not just the ‘kill yourself’ or the ‘hope he dies’ in the sport with the heavy fucking body count it’s the expectation that you #can say this shit and it will have NO consequences for you. remember that marshall who’d tweeted words to the effect of i wouldn’t #get lewis out of the car? god I don’t know just. these are real people. like i don’t know why that’s so hard to understand

thinking about byan on the track team tonight... about how they always wanted to take part in sports outside of phys ed but would either get in trouble for playing too rough, not being a team player, and/or not respecting or abiding by the rules or they were put onto a boy's team which resulted in regular discomfort, dysphoria, and misgendering at best, and bullying and harassment from their teammates at worst. track is kind of perfect for them because they already love freerunning and parkour, can be part of a team without having to deal with too much teamwork, and are a lot less likely to end up too physically aggressive with any competitors. but also? they're really fucking good at it. running is, after all, one of the things they've always been best at.

#running across rooftops running from the law running from home running from any relationship that starts getting too real... they're a pro #fr tho they're one of if not the best on the team and i'll fight u on that ok #byan deserves to be a little track star in high school. as a treat. #really tho they owe it all to lena who dragged them into it bc they didn't actually think they'd enjoy it #thought they were over their interest in school sports for how badly it's always gone in the past #turns out they were wrong tho bc now they kinda love it even though they downplay that SUPER hard #i also like to think that the track team they're on is coed but idk how plausible that actually is #idk i'm just thinking about it tonight u know... i know it doesn't seem like it but i do love when things work out well for them for once #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.

here are my thoughts: 

Rooster, Phoenix and Bob (maybe Payback and Fanboy too?) are in a metal band together (music genre may change... but as long as it stays within rock/metal)

Rooster: Guitar (lead), singer, piano, drums, 

Phoenix: Singer (lead), bass(lead), violin

Bob: Drummer (lead), singer, harmonica

Payback: Guitar, singer, bass

Fanboy: Bass, piano, 

Hangman is a sports jock, but closeted metalhead (probably Coyote too)

Additional: Goose, Mav and Carole were in a little band together. Goose dies in an accident, Carole stops doing music professionally, Mav joins band with Ice and Slider and others from the 86 crew? 

#shrugs #carole may have quit music after goose died but she still sings to bradley #goose played guitar and he had a guitar he had a stupid relationship with #rooster inherits said guitar and its real special for him #mav gives it to him when he gets older/when he tells mav he and bob and phoenix are gonna do music for real #mav was a singer and bassist i think #the crazy kind #ice was mainly a singer #slider....... drummer #shrugs again #rooster has the heavy/folk metal vibe: long hair #phoenix is a mix of metal and... punk? #hmmmm #bob has the mohawk (but not the one where it skinned on the sides cause no) #hangman is just sports jock but sees rooster perform once and instant heart eyes #if anybody mentions eddie munson im gonna take your kneecaps #love eddie but enough #anyway

Like season 1 was a story about the inherent corruptive nature of the cobra kai way of teaching. And I know a lot of people point to Johnny opening Eagle Fang as the downfall of the series, but it still could have worked. Johnny could have taught his students in a way that didn’t embody the Cobra Kai ideology—and in season 3 he actually kind of did that, sort of. The problem was Season 4 turning Eagle Fang into Cobra Kai Lite, and just reframing all the teaching methods the show previously condemned as like. Tough and Badass and Cutting Edge.

#ck rewatch #ck negativity #sort of #like. the real satisfying ending of this show always was johnny teaching karate in a healthy way and having a healthy relationship with the #sport himself

wait you got me so invested in the stammer & heddy tailor au....

this is my standard disclaimer that i have never posted a fic on ao3* and for however much i say “au” i truly mean that it’s a universe that lives in my head & i am absolutely delighted to tell you all about, all the time <3 if it helps i ALSO got me so invested in the heddy & stammer tailor au

ok now that the author’s note is out of the way here’s some notes about the not!fic heddy & stammer tailor au:

stammer as the tailor from gent’s playbook, very reserved, quiet, with an excellent eye for details (honestly the evidence i have for his style sense is just that he’s best friends with pk subban so it has to be there somewhere if only by proxy irl) is hired by victor hedman, star of the tampa bay lightning who is every other tailor’s nightmare to dress (huge, opinionated, fashionable)

heddy is decently well-known throughout the league for being very well-dressed & becomes quietly well known for also being one of his new tailor’s favorite loyal customers [heddy has the nicest fabrics. he has his suits the first day a new collection drops & e v e r y o n e is jealous]

stammer’s business booms after heddy takes a chance on him as his first big client & promotes him, heddy sees him grow in popularity & get more clients

heddy also moonlights as a model for stammer’s suits on instagram, initially to help him grow his business because then he won’t have to pay for a model and then because he’s over there all the time anyway because they’re dating (that’s why the model’s face is never in the pictures)

there’s not really a plot to this besides the vague idea of a plot where stammer makes heddy his lucky suit that he wins the cup in & sews a special little tag into the lining of his jacket that says i love you

because love sometimes is picking out the perfect right color pocket square to match your husband’s beautiful suit that you fitted like a kiss to the curves of his huge body

& also sometimes love is making your beautiful husband who makes you beautiful clothing enjoy nice things for himself once in a while, like the fancy watch you bought him or the nice suit you custom-ordered for him (from him) just so you could take it off of him

#*i did very much post a zine on ao3 that was part of a really fun exchange that i loved doing (thank you leah for organizing!!!) #& had a fantastic time with however i have not strictly speaking posted a fic. one day i will. eventually. hopefully. pray for me :) #also one time my horoscope told me i was a ‘neutral projector’ & i’ve never felt more called out (‘loves making up things’/‘will not #actually write or plot but will explain every intricate detail of their world & character relationships’/‘hype up every member of the #writing chat & give good advice but never follow it’) like HI CAN U NOT DO THIS TO ME HOROSCOPE THANKS i was read to FILTH #liv in the replies #i do LOOOOOVE me a good one of them plays hockey the other one does not au sometimes they’re so fun to explore dynamics outside/inside sport #at the time i came up with this stammer was out on IR & heddy kept showing up to the playoffs in ridiculously nice suits what was i to do?? #the gent’s playbook tailor will sometimes model his own suits w/o showing his own face which made it look like he had a secret model come in #heddy canonically says his suits make him feel better when he plays esp during playoffs & if he wins in a suit he’ll keep wearing it #oh also the truth of the love is in the pocket square bit? angela price i will never forget. anyway that blue suit i posted in the last ask #with the perfect pink pocket square? that pocket square is a pair of stammer’s boxers heddy took To Me. in my brain #me about the beautiful clothing: this is like daisy crying in gatsby’s silk shirts except it’s baby alpaca fur & also it’s not sad #it’s simply decadent & the inherent intimacy of a fitting mapping the body yada yada yada knowing the ways to flatter someone is a form #of loving them etc etc. love is art love is food love is given love is stored in the custom three-piece suit and tie #is this an enemies to lovers? workplace drama? is the secret plot i only just now invented & added that heddy is ‘difficult to work with’ #but it’s just because he wants to look good & in the words of his own (real) tailor the hardest guy to fit because he’s so big? OHHH HOLD IT #I GOT THE PLOT IN THE TAGS Y’ALL AND IT’S STAMMER TEACHING HEDDY TO LOVE HIS BODY heddy who’s been told what to/not wear & you know. #the commodification of the body in hockey (but we’re not getting that deep) but stammer with a mouth full of pins tightening heddy’s pant #leg down even further as he listens to what heddy wants for once & lets him pick fabrics (this is the daisy shirt moment but it’s heddy #looking at fabric swatches dozens of books of them stammer helps him pick out matching linings &outsides &squares) & stammer compliments him #& they’re in love & idk NEARLY enough abt fashion but there r like codes? messages? to wearing suits i think w/the etiquette so that too #should this have also gone under a readmore? yeah probably. whoops #victor hedman #steven stamkos #tampa bay lightning

why cant i get paid to think of domestic arakawa family things huh. id be SO rich if that were a thing

#snap chats #i was on my walk and while not trying to listen too hard to seether lyrics i was thinking of My Favorite Family #i just wanna draw out more pre-ichi arakawa fam stuff yk #rgg refuses to give me backstory on masumi and jo so i would like to be delusional and do it myself #i know i said id make the doujin as a joke but im three seconds away from doing it for real #i just wanna see the progression of their relationship man.. how did your ass sky rocket to captain status.. #but nay i have to do my actual work and finish up comms for people #unrelated im fucking itchy and Again its cause my dumbass went outside #worst part is i was gonna go play baseball today. and by 'play baseball' i was gonna go to my diamond #and set up my sad little t-ball bullshit and then hit balls all day #isnt it heinous i dont live by a batting cage. i mean being outside's nice and all and running to get the ball's good extra exercise #but sometimes a man just wants to hit balls yk. the respectable version of golf #how many of sports can be classified as Hitting The Ball vs Passing The Ball #like football/golf/baseball all hit the ball but american football and basketball you pass it right #do you technically hit the basketball when you bounce it on the ground.. no i wont count that #im going everywhere im just procrastinating this is how you know i have somethings to do #oh godddd my head hurts ok bye

“ Official: Spain & Brazil will play a friendly to fight against Racism. The match will be in March 2024. The motto ‘The same skin’ will be used.”

if this isn’t actually an elaborate plan to have as many spanish people locked in a stadium and listen to born in blackness and rob fifa execs of their money, i dont want it

#i have a love hate relationship with this sport #i keep looking for some sort of satirical source but its real #the hashtag translates to same skin

the shoujo-fication of unripe apples pt 2: ch 69

(ft miae being the cutest person on earth)

#moon reads aslfua #aslfua spoilers #i love the little sparkles that soonkki using during like those heartbeat scenes ; they r soooo fitting and cute LOL #properly captures young / first love imo #anyway! i did not axtually expect miae to be the first one to catch any sort of feelings and i think it’s funnt that she #‘s experiencing it like its a disease JJAJSJAJ super curious as to where this goes both bc of her lack of experience w love as a real emotio #(rather than the fairy tales that she associates them w) and how this affects their relationship #cheol’s definitely gonna notice if the dynamic changes whatsoever since she’s usually brazen with her feelinfs n desires #kind of nervous that he’ll be hurt by it ; i think he would’ve retreated back into his walls if this was earlier than the sports day #i do think he’s gotten better at communicating tho and acknowledges the importance of her companionship #so hopefully no real angst is in sight for a while 🫶🏻 ahah!

i binged sk8 the infinity at the weekend and i enjoyed it a lot. for a show with an ai robot skateboard and tricks that would be 100% deadly irl it’s a surprisingly grounded show.

like yes, the costumes and personas of the background characters are over the top, the villain is extra as hell and creepy af in a truly anime fashion. the skateboarding power moves are there to emphasize that this is a sports anime true to its genre. it’s all super entertaining in this classical sports anime way with really stunning animation moments. and yes, one of the protags is super gifted and becomes a top tier skater in ridiculous time.

but the skating actually feels grounded despite that. the non power move things they do are real things skateboarders do. their boards have these visual styles that feel right, there’s this street aesthetic to everything, including street art stickers. and it’s all filmed like a rl skateboarding video, like the creators watched a shit ton of those and really understood the visual language of that. (yes, i do love to the street art aesthetic in all its forms)

the other thing that feels grounded are the characters. the background ones are more comic relief and they also have these personas when they skate - i have no clue if rl skateboarders do that actually or was this done due to the anime conventions and for entertainment value - so they are extra at times and don’t get that much development but they are also endearing. the two that feel more grounded are the honorary straight, shadow, he’s such a fun character, and the brat miya, he’s got such perfect middleschooler energy. 

the grounding kind of falls flat for me with the villain, my attitude to him very much mimics langa’s attitude. the dude is a great skater but he’s also weird and cringe so he’s not really interesting. i loved how langa was all the time: i really don’t give an f about your creepy personal issues, i’m not going to react to that, i just find you upsetting because you hurt my friends and also an interesting skating challenge. when they rolled out the villains back story my thoughts were: i know that’s meant to be sad and it kinda is but i also don’t care about you, now go to jail. no the subtext kink dynamic with the other guy you have going isn’t really doing it for me either, go to jail.

where the character writing shines is with the main two. they don’t have personas, they are just themselves in their daily life and during the underground skateboarding events.

reki is enthusiastic and passionate but also vulnerable in a way that’s relatable. his crisis feels very real in a teenage depression kind of way, or even an adhd rejection kind of way - though i’m not saying i think he has adhd in canon, i try not to diagnose characters, it just felt very relatable to me, a person with adhd, in how it all played out. and how the crisis is in reki’s mind very much about langa but the little detail of how it affects others was just so good. like how depression is so self-absorbing.

langa is quiet and not great in social situations but he’s very much present. he’s not standoffish and above it all, he’s really there taking everything in even if he’s sometimes slow to react to social situations. but he’s really focused on reki and attached to him and it’s just such a strong relationship. and it’s really cool how langa asks for advice and talks when the situation demands it.

because omg they talk it out like people, and that’s just rare in media period, not just manga/anime which can be extremely emotionally constipated due to its cultural background - i don’t mean that all japanese people never talk openly about their emotions or that they never had until recently or whatever but there is a certain culture of understatements in japanese language and it influences such things as pop culture cliches which deal in exaggeration and super exposing of cultural ideals. tangent aside the conversation was super real, awkward and it hit just right.

this is much longer that i planned. so just honorable mentions.

the anime really is there to cater to the shipping crowd. the two mains are very much implied to be a thing by the text of the show, and i think some creators also implied that though i’m not 100% on that. but i don’t think the show’s going to say it in open text in the following season(s) because it’s still a shonen anime. it can go fanservice all it wants but an openly queer protag in shonen is imho decades away. the rest of the cast is eyecandy very much made to cater to the female/queer gaze. while the og japanese version is subtext, though very loud subtext at times, about it, the dub apparently took it and ran with it and made it very queer.

it’s set in okinawa and that means the world to me. and it also gives a certain unique aesthetic to the show.

#off topic #collecting my thoughts about a show i liked #gosh i really do care only about cool animations and charactes #huh #like the sports anime cliches really don't deter me at all #even though the plot is really by the book nothing special #i made a prediction about the characters' canon relationship #the showrunners should feel free to prove me wrong #like honestly making predictions online is probably the dumbest thing you can do online #if we exclude being offensive under your real name on twitter
