Great details from the High Speed novel 2 I believe everyone should know:
• Ikuya calls Natsuya “Natsu-nii”
• Haru and Sousuke had croquets in Haru’s house, played karuta grabbing, and were acquaintances hanging out
• Nao’s perfect trainer image is a fraud. He’s not as amazing as we think*
• Nao is originally an Akido martial artist!!
• Asahi and Rin’s dad are bffs*
• Kisumi envies Asahi because he’s ‘true to himself’ unlike Kisumi who’s only trying to look cool in the outside
(more under the cut! Feel free to add more uwu)
• Young Gou spends her weekends on her grandma, O-Kyou-san’s house so the latter won’t be lonely.
• Asahi’s father visits Rin and Gou’s grandma. He made her watch Asahi and the others’s race.
• Rin always tries to get girls’s attention
• Ikuya is a tantrum-throwing crybaby.
• Ikuya (and Natsuya) has a female bestfriend named Satomi Nii and they dreamt of swimming in the olympics since they were young
• Asahi was known as the guy who peed himself in his SC lol
• Asahi and Ikuya were in the same SC!
• Nao is always likened to a cat uwu since he’s so graceful and 'wastes no energy in every move he makes’
• Makoto and Haru has this female friend they’re close with, Aki-chan and they’re so cute ok!!!
• AsaKisu all the way like when they cheer for each other during their race/match, they both gain energy and power hearing each others’ voice
• Natsuya always runs on the field and girls always gawk at him from the window during lunch time
• Haru is a sassy brat in the novels. He’s so sassy the current Haru can’t even compete
*When Asahi and Rin were kids, their dads taught them how to swim and made them race. Both dads cry when their kids showed intense competitiveness and passion in that young age and it was really touching nngghhh–
* Nao was able to fool Haru and the others that he’s a great senpai and traininer by reading so much swimming theories and visiting and asking tips from senpais who have graduated
Rin wanted to go somewhere private after they finished up at the coffee shop, so Sousuke walked him to their hotel room a few blocks down. The moment their door clicked shut, Sousuke was pulled in and pinned against it by a tidal wave of raw emotion. It had been far too long since they’d seen each other last.
So I’m working on a SouHaru fanfic and the premise is…. obvious. *sweats nervously* Anyway! I drew up a cover for it as I want to turn it into a doujin at some point but don’t hold me to that heeeeh~
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.
