#he's at the bargaining stage

[midnight-mismanagement]

I watched season 3 and rewatched season 1 and 2 of the umbrella academy and what I can gather is:

Five (season 1): Denial, anger

Five (season 2): Bargaining

Five (season 3): Depression, acceptance

#usually he's a colourful fruit salad of denial anger bargaining depression and more anger though #season 3 five just makes me especially sad though #like he was done #he could retire #have a nice road trip #figure himself out as a person for once #breathe a little #but nope #and he still explores all options until he finally gives up #cause he would rather die with his family all together rather than a sad lonely old man in a tube #or at the mercy of whatever reginald had in store for them #but even at the very end he still can't shake the instinct to protect his family #and beats allison to the last sigil in the floor and figures out the sigil in the first place #also jesus what was season 3 I feel like I had a fever dream lol #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #tua #im not saying he passed through these stages instead they just layered on top of each other like a sad gooey cake

that "Orym made his deal contingent on all of the Hells coming back from Ruidis alive bc he knows Imogen's probably gonna be absorbed into Predathos and turn on them" take truly one of the "he would not fucking say that"s of all time

I want season 3 of Our Flag Means Death to happen and I want it for one very simple reason:

Revenge.

my thoughts on itoshi rin and how his relationship with his brother has affected the way he has played football throughout the manga

to me it feels quite obvious that rin still cares about sae quite a bit. quite literally almost all of rin’s football career has been built around his brother, from the beginning of it to the u-20 match.

in the beginning, it started with rin thinking that sae looked cool and wanting to watch with his big brother play. then people realized he was actually pretty good at football himself, so he decided to start playing with sae because, “why wouldn’t playing football with your brother be fun?” this is when football was fun, it was mostly just hanging out with his big brother and eating ice cream together. we also don’t really know much about this time in rin’s life other than a few manga panels, so i don’t have much to say other than this is when got into football and he enjoyed it. i do feel like at first he mostly enjoyed it because he was playing with sae.

then, sae goes to spain, and this is when we first start to see changes in rin’s football. it’s in this stage that rin’s football both becomes about getting better and is when he first starts to enjoy it without sae. it becomes about getting good enough so that he can still walk with sae on the path to becoming the two best strikers in the world. it’s still enjoyable, but it’s mostly fun because he knows that sae is going to come back and they’re going to be great together. sae’s going to come back and they’ll both have gotten better and football will be even more enjoyable.

then sae actually comes back, and it’s apparent that all is not well. their confrontation happens and the football that rin had built up in the time that sae was away crumbled around him. football was no longer about playing with his brother, that had been made abundantly clear to him by sae himself. i imagine that it takes a bit of time for rin to decide what to do with himself after that. we just get a fade to black in the manga after rin and sae’s confrontation in the manga, but we do know that it was in winter. i don’t know how seasons in japan work or when football season is, but i imagine that having rin’s and isagi’s big life changing moments happen on the same day would be kind of unlikely (but who knows, this is a sports manga and the timeline is blurry).

the next change to his football is likely when he gets the letter to blue lock. this is when football becomes a tool to use in the goal of proving sae wrong. proving that he did deserve to be part of sae’s life, and that sae was in the wrong for saying what he did. football was now about making sae feel like rin did with the added weight of guilt. making sae feel guilty about how he treated rin when he returned from spain. blue lock is just a way for him to streamline that process. the facility gives him access to top trainers and training facilities, as well as the opportunities he needs to get back at sae. this football isn’t about enjoyment or happiness or anything that the football he played before was about. this football was about his anger and his need for revenge, at the same time it was also about his want for his older brother back. his want for his brother to love him like he used to, to wrap him up in his arms and take him out for ice cream and sit by the ocean with him. this football was football filled with grief over the fact that his relationship with his brother will never be the same because he is not good enough.

then the u-20 match happens, and this marks yet another change to rin’s football. this is when sae manages to fully cement himself as a world class jerk in both my mind and in rin’s. after this match rin is pissed off, like he is mad mad. he takes some of that anger out on isagi because he’s a) the one that sae praised, and b) the one who walked up to rin who was clearly spitting mad and tried to have a conversation. but after the u-20 match, this is when rin starts to play football for himself. this is when rin lets go of playing for sae altogether, and i am so excited to see what that looks like. this is rin accepting that if sae’s going to be a jerk to him for the rest of his life then he’s not going to let him run it anymore. this is rin not letting go of all the bullshit that he went through with sae, but accepting that it happened and kind of moving on.

of course, this is all from rin’s perspective. i’d like to see what sae thinks of what went down between the two of them, it’s likely much different than how rin views it.

at the time that i’m writing this post (ch 231 of the manga is latest chapter) we haven’t seen any of our paris x gen pals since they chose their team, so that means we haven’t seen rin in a while. i feel like rin’s new play style will be extremely interesting to see (especially from isagi’s pov, it’s like that boy can’t not wax poetry about rin), especially since pxg’s mentor is julian loki. since he’s in the same age range as all of blue lock it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the team.

and the u-20 match really good writing, in my opinion. it really expands on rin and sae’s relationship in way that hadn’t happened before and hasn’t happened since, at the time of this post, and that context is why i can even make this post.

hope that you enjoyed my ramblings about rin, i just think he’s neat

#itoshi rin #rin itoshi #itoshi sae #sae itoshi #itoshi brothers #blue lock #bllk #blue lock fandom #character analysis #analysis post #rin itoshi analysis #he’s neat #i might do an analysis of him and isagi later #it depends on how i’m feeling #their relationship is very interesting to me #also that last bit about acceptance is hopeful theorizing on my part #that’s both what i think and what i hope will happen #also it wraps up my comparison between the itoshi brothers’ relationship and the five stages of grief with a nice little bow #sae returns from spain = denial #the match following the return = bargaining #time at blue lock pre u-20 = anger and depression #blue lock post u-20 = acceptance #lmk what you think #also you should all go read blue lock #the manga #i haven’t watched the anime #therefore i cannot recommend it to you

vincent and the doctor is arguably the best eleven episode (that or a christmas carol imo) but the god complex is the episode that truly encapsulates the era and all the delicious little fucked up themes in there. it's about vanity it's about cowardice it's about how eleven famously just picks these people up and needs to be worshipped as the king of silly fun guys to keep going because if that stops he's gotta reckon with the grief that tore his last two regenerations to pieces. it's about having to reckon with it anyway

#again if you look at the five stages of grief with nine being anger and ten being bargaining (because he is. constantly) #eleven's all about denial. and everything after this point is what happens when you stop living in denial

[daylightaftertherain]

another thing, I'm living for wille's reputation era but he'll need to snap out of it at some point. staying so angry at so many people in his life isn't going to be healthy mentally, and I'm scared he might start to push everyone but simon away, which isn't a good relationship dynamic either.

#like wille isn't an angel who would never be angry or choose violence because he will and he does #he's stuck firmly in the anger and bargaining stages of grief #but I want him to be able to smile and joke around with simon and make more friends and be open again #that's him deep down #he's a human being who wants to live his life and grieve his brother properly and kiss a boy he likes and have friends #not dedicate his time to making someone's life a living hell #yr s2 spoilers #young royals

my back hurts from hugging my dear friend goodbye while he was on the floor….. time for some advil

#I almost feel emotional relief knowing that he’s not hurting anymore #and that we don’t have to monitor him all the time for problems we could barely help him with #it rained three times in the past couple of weeks before he was at his worst and he loved walking around and smelling everything in the yard #all the wood and dirt and plants and the cool feeling really helped him feel happy #so he got to experience a few more rare instances where he got to chill outside without much exertion or heat #i’m not happy about it but i feel closure and i’ve accepted it #I’ve been grieving for him for weeks #taking care of him as his state deteriorated was kind of like the bargaining stage #I also thought that his first tooth fell out because we gave him (hollow) ice cubes as a treat so i thought it was my fault for a long time #since the tumor was nearly undetectable at the time I thought it was irritation but it just inflated terribly over time #he went very gently when he laid down to get the shot as though he understood it was his time

You can literally pay one of the ads to stop advertising to you forever, which loses a customer for themself forever which is the absolutely worst business strategy yet.

So what if the yellow ads line about Spamton products not selling for some reason was like genuinely serious. Like they couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t making sales cause he was doing everything the correct Addison way and it just so happens the correct addison way is horrible. Like what if he was too good at being an addison and it backfired?

#like they are persistent it he’s way too persistent #or they bargain but he bargains too much and the price drops to low like his price wheel for the keygen #just new theory that Addispam and puppet spam are most similar in personality and temperaments of the stages of his life #Addispam is just a lot less desolate and peeped the horrors #the addisons #spamton #utdr #deltarune

"So, here's a thought that might be slightly controversial, but... What if everyone was just... nice to me? Imagine if, even if it were for a single day, everyone just came together, and instead of harassing me or shoving me around, we all just... did the opposite of that? Who knows, you might even find out you actually quite like being nice to me, and just keep doing it?"

He sighs sadly. "That would be worth a try, I think..."

#musings #((in the bargaining stage today lmao)) #((the only day he can think of that would even remotely allow for that is his birthday but that's like 5 months away lmao)) #((at the rate he's going he might not make it til then lmao))
