Retrospective: Illustrated Merlin Alphabet Challenge
Finally finished the Merlin Alphabet Challenge, so here's the artist notes no one asked for! See below the cut for comments on each piece by order of creation. Be warned folks, it's a long post.
Before we begin: credit to @merlin-gifs for the challenge, which can be found here. It's awesome, go do it.
First thing you should know is I did probably 80-90% of these while on phone calls or in Zoom meetings and that's reflected in the simplicity of most pieces -- the compositions aren't complicated, the lines aren't refined, the coloring is slapdash. If you noticed variation in quality of the pieces, that's why!
Second: I tried to focus on trying something new for each drawing. Didn't always happen, but this challenge did succeed in helping me push me out of my own comfort zone.
Without further ado...
A is for Arthur Pendragon
Textures, baby! Brushed metal of his armor, scratchy linen texture of his shirt, wispy softness of hair and skin. I'd recently gotten my tablet out of storage after a year of figuring out where the hell I was going to live and this was one of the first pieces of digital art I spent time on. Glad it was Arthur kicking us off!
B is for the Beginning of the End (1x08)
Fun fact, I did not draw this with my tablet. I drew it with my work computer's touchscreen. It was awful, would not recommend.
C is for Camelot
I wanted to get used to different brushes, so landscape of the castle it was! There are brushes that help with drawing grass; I did not use said brushes and my wrist hurt afterward. That being said, I really enjoyed working on this and it was one of the few pieces I didn't do while multitasking.
D is for Daegal
Also drawn on my work computer's touchscreen, not my tablet. I didn't learn my lesson from B and the experience was even worse. This is my least favorite piece which sucks because it's Daegal so I'm slated to redo this sometime in the near future. Gotta do our boy justice.
E is for Elyan
Oh, I adored drawing this. Elyan often gets shafted in terms of fandom appreciation so I made sure to choose Elyan for this prompt and to participate in the Elyan fest. Plus, I love a good ghost story and figuring out a way to include the druid spectre was fun. Didn't multitask on this piece because Elyan deserved my full attention.
F is for Freya
Ho boy. This piece. I have such mixed feelings on this drawing. Really really didn't like it after I'd decided it was done and very nearly scrapped the whole thing. I had a vision in my head that I just couldn't render into reality and it frustrated me SO MUCH. Looking back, I like it much better than I did when I first created it.
G is for Gwaine
What can I say, he's pretty when he's cold. I didn't stretch too much with this one -- it's my normal drawing style, I was just trying to find a brush that mimicked the softness of pencil.
H is for Hunith
Another one that didn't stray too far from my comfort zone. I was stupid sick and slammed at work, so a motherly Hunith manifested herself. I blame the bad brush choice on the cold medicine.
I is for Isolde
I woke up and chose violence! Tried to vary my figure drawing style a little in this piece but my brain resisted, resulting in... this. Not mad at it, but not happy with it either. Poor Isolde.
J is for Juggling
Ah, this lovely piece was drawn during a particularly vexing meeting at work. Fun fact, there's another version of this line art that's less about Merlin's stress and more about mine.
K is for Knights of Camelot
Continuing the theme of doodling through bad news and shit meetings. Like I said above, normally meeting doodles aren't complex because I'm concentrating on something else. This one was more involved because I didn't want to concentrate on the meeting. I have a few issues with this from a technical standpoint (perspective, my nemesis) but it's still one of my favorites. Tried some funky coloring technique, didn't hate it.
V is for Vibrant Colors
And here is where we said fuck the rules and started going out of alphabetical order! This one was really fun to do and I loved kicking off Albion Party with this as my first submission. The colors were a challenge (as I hoped they would be) and this is the first time I had to do some color tweaking midway though and after finishing the coloring process. Vibrant Arthur, my beloved. This started as a multitask doodle but took dedicated time to finish.
O is for Old Religion
The concept for this one was buzzing in my head for a bit before a quote-prompt solidified it. I adore the thought of more visible, tangible representations of Merlin as the son of the elements, of "magic itself" -- not just sun-gold eyes, but sea-water hair and sandstone-skin. A complement to the vibrant Arthur portrait.
S is for Sorcerers
When I said I wanted to challenge myself, I wasn't kidding. Ho boy, this was fun but frustrating. I wanted to completely illustrate a gif. So I did. Will I do something like this again? Maybe. A while from now.
M is for Morgause
See above -- same illustrated gif style so at least I was able to reuse some drawings. Poor Morgause ended up looking a little wretched here because I was mentally done with this when I was drawing her. Love the concept of tarot cards + Merlin but others are doing it so I won't continue this series.
Z is for Zzzz
This one was specifically done to test out some custom brushes I made in Krita to make abstract background drawing easier for me. I think they turned out well! Plus who doesn't love bb iridescent Aithusa.
L is for Leon, P is for Percival
Quick, minimal doodles of the boys! Mentally, I was going for a Brady's-style retro ensemble cast TV show credits feel. Not mad at it! Some boys look closer to their actors than others (I think my brain broke drawing Percy, my apologies to Tom Hopper).
T is for Tristan
It wasn't until after I posted this that I realized there was more than one Tristan in Merlin. Could have drawn Isolde's bf but I drew Ygraine's dumb jock undead brother instead. Had some fun with dark greys and blacks here regardless.
Q is for Queen Annis
Best royal in Albion, bar none. I tried a different coloring technique here and I kinda like it! may make it my go-to but we'll see. Old habits are hard to break. Also: our queen deserved more badass clothes.
X is for Arthur X Merlin
Oh, be still my shipper heart. Doodled and colored during a meeting. I had hoped to spend more time on it outside of multitasking but alas, work is a bitch. This one is slated for a rework sometime in the future; I adore the concept too much to let it go without creating another version of this that isn't an utter mess.
U is for Uther's Ward
And here's my attempt at forgoing line art. Not fun, do not like.
Y is for Young Warlock
Channeled some pain into this one. Those are the dead eyes of someone who had been told that he'd succeeded when his friend died. That the destiny he'd been expecting to carry on his shoulders into old age was done and dusted before he turned 30. Grief plus the existential dread of the aimless immortal. Oof. One of my favs.
N is for Nimueh, R is for Rising Sun, W is for Will
And we end on this sorry offering. I was away from home for a while without my tablet and I just got tired of waiting. So, pen doodles at the airport. This was a challenge in its own right because 1. pen only and 2. I wasn't able to pull Netflix up for a reference on the fly. Which is why Will's face is obscured and Nimueh looks.... not like Nimueh lol.
In summary: this was a goddamn joy to do. I finished 26 letter prompts in approximately 21 weeks, which exceeded my own unspoken goal of filling one letter per week. I found a good, happy corner of the Merlin fandom after a years-long hiatus away from being a fandom creator. If you did make it this far with me, thanks for reading my inane comments and giving this little project even a moment of your time -- I'm so grateful.

10x21: Dark Dynasty
Welcome to Hell! I feel dirty recapping this episode, but we’re completests here at Shirtless Sammy. Enjoy hating with us!
Omaha, Nebraska
A young woman arrives for a completely legit, totally true eyesight research study interview. Styne Brother #? looks over her credentials and then examines her eyes. Well, he swoops her hair behind her shoulder and grabs her face and it’s THE WORST. But then he pulls a fancy knife and slits her throat, so there’s also that. As she dies, he gets a melon baller and scalpel and scoops out those perfect blue orbs #bucklemingfanficwedonotwant. 
A maintenance guy hears the commotion and knocks on the door. Styne Brother #? puts the eyes on ice and jumps from the third story just as the janitor busts into the room. 
Sam and Rowena have started their dance of enemies to...something more. Rowena is chained and tasked with cracking the codex for the Book of the Damned. Sam wants results but tells her she can’t use witchcraft. 
For Holy Hell Science:
Tumblr media
Shreveport, Louisiana
Styne brother #? gets a dressing down by Father Styne. He was sloppy with the eyeball harvest. 
��
Whoa, they talked and talked and I kind of zoned out. Words were said.
Um, Styne brother #? has to track down the Winchesters and kill them. Styne cousin #?!@! Is tasked with finding Charlie. 
Tumblr media
Sam arrives back at the bunker. Dean asks if Sam’s been sneaking around with a woman he hasn’t mentioned. <EYEBALL EMOJI> (Listen, I LOATH this episode with all the fiber in my being and NEVER rewatch it. Gotta find fun where I can with this recap.) 
Sam gets tired of Dean’s interrogation and asks about what Dean’s been researching. He’s been learning more about the Styne family. That’s funny, because I want to know as little about them as possible. 
Tumblr media
Dean wants to check out the Omaha case. Dean heads to bed. Sam heads to pick up Charlie. He fills her in on his plan to break the codex to read the Book of the Damned to help Dean. He tells her that he saved the book before burning a fake. Charlie wants to know how Dean feels about all this.
Tumblr media
Charlie is a little upset with Sam’s actions. He then tells her she’ll be working with “one of the most dangerous witches in the world.” LOLZ. 
Charlie sets to work on her SURFACE PRO. 
Tumblr media
Rowena and Charlie banter back and forth a bit. 
Rowena gifts us with a reaction that should be used for everything that’s wrong and unholy about this episode. 
Tumblr media
Sam is pleasantly humored by Rowena’s attitude.
Cas arrives. (God, I know I said there was nothing redeeming about this episode but Rowena, Sam, Charlie, and Cas all in one scene???!?? OKAY THEN.)
Tumblr media
Sam’s apparently brought Cas in to babysit. Rowena sees right through Cas to his weak spot and reveals that Sam hasn’t told Dean about this plan. Cas is livid. Sam gives a rousing speech and they all agree. “For Dean.” Well, not Rowena. “I barely know the man.” (AND NOW I HAVE StUPID SEASON 15 FEELS ABOUT ROWENA. This show is THE WORST.) 
Crowley gets word that his mother is missing. He’s mad. 
Sam and Dean head to Omaha to check out the crime scene. They watch a security video of Styne brother #? jump to the ground and start running. Sam notes the tattoo of the Styne family and then gets a call from Cas. He tells Dean it was a telemarketer. The brothers head out but the guy they were talking to gets cornered by Styne brother #? and gets knifed in the stomach. 
Charlie gets to work breaking the codex but taking pictures with her iPhone and running code on her Surface Pro. Hrmph. I find this VERY ANNOYING product placement the second most offensive thing about this entire episode. 
Cas brings snacks. Rowena is not impressed.
Tumblr media
Rowena talks a bit about Agnes, the rogue hermit nun who wrote the codex. She understood the need for balance between good and evil. Also, the church burned her at the stake. And now let’s wallow in this pain:
Charlie: Poor Agnes. Ahead of her time.
Rowena: Much like you and I.
And now they’re both dead, killed by the church show hierarchy. 
Rowena continues to press her point about their similarities. I LOL at her drawing the line at blind devotion to the Winchesters. ROWENA, YOU’RE KILLING ME. “You’ve made them the family you don’t have. Foolish.” 
Tumblr media
Back in the Impala, Dean and Sam discuss the Stynes as well as the Mark. Dean glosses over a list of maladies he’s been enduring including dark thoughts and creepy visions. But that’s water off a Winchester’s back, right? While they drive, Eldon Styne trails them. 
Later, at the bunker, Dean picks up Sam’s phone while it rings. It’s Cas! 
Tumblr media
Cas is I N C R E D I B L Y awkward and hustles off the phone in record time. This sets Dean’s spidey sense to tingling. When Sam swears that he hasn’t talked to Cas in ages, Dean knows something’s up. 
Crowley interrogates Olivette, who is still a mouse. They talk about cheese pairings…I mean, they chat about Rowena including, presumably, her weaknesses. I kind of love that demon powers include talking to magical mice.
Dean picks up pizza and gets jumped by the Stynes. He kills one of them and captures Eldon.
Tumblr media
Cas and Charlie talk at the weird cathedral warehouse in which they’re holed up. Charlie can’t concentrate under Rowena’s constant interruptions and begs to be set free for a couple of hours so she can think. I do 100% get that. Why is it easier to plan on my couch than at a desk? And people making noise around me? So aggravating. 
Dean locks up Eldon for a little Q&A. Eldon tells them that the Styne family is huge and powerful. They’re war and disaster profiteers who’ve amassed tons of wealth over the centuries. They want the book to help enhance their power.
Cas interrupts the interrogation by calling Sam, who steps out to talk. While Dean’s alone with Eldon, the Styne bro tells Dean that they surgically enhance their bodies by stealing parts from other people. Eldon reveals the Styne secret: they’re the FrankenStyne family. Excuse me while I roll my eyes eight THOUSAND times.
Tumblr media
Sam tells Cas to get control of the volatile Charlie and Rowena situation, and to under no circumstances let Charlie go off alone. Eldon reveals to Dean that the book can’t be destroyed. When Dean realizes that Sam lied to him, he storms after Sam. The Most Awkward Winchester looks like a bug under a magnifying glass, but he’s saved by a bang from the dungeon. Eldon ripped his arm off and escaped the bunker. Shoulda tied his feet, friendos. 
Cas locks up Rowena in another room.
Tumblr media
Rowena reveals that Crowley is her son. “That explains a lot. I'm sure that was quite a challenge,” Cas muses. Parenting, amirite? It's a good moment of levity! Let’s quit this recap right here.
Oof.
Fine. Whatever. 
Eldon and some other dumb Styne talk about Charlie’s whereabouts. She’s at the cutest, most adorably named motel and I wish it hadn’t been used for this. 
For PLEASE for the love of god design my house, Wanek Science:
Tumblr media
At the bunker, Dean and Sam talk about the Styne family. Dean brings up the book, and Sam starts to crack like a raw egg. Cas calls him and reveals that Charlie’s missing. 
At the motel, Charlie cracks the code juuuuust in time for the Stynes to pound on her door. She calls Sam in a panic. 
Tumblr media
Sam tells her to give them the book, or anything she has in order to survive. She refuses, sending a packet of information to Sam. Eldon bursts in and she smashes her computer. 
The next time we see her, it’s when Sam and Dean find her…dead in a bathtub. BRB, off to burn this episode in a trash can under the grim light of the waning moon. Pretty sure that’s how you rewrite cursed endings. 
Natasha: This episode will forever be in my EXTRA HATE BANK because it killed Charlie. Confusedly, it also has a very cute Cas and Rowena! I have actually rewatched this before and just stopped it before Charlie dies la la la it didn’t happen fingers in my ears.
None of These Quotes are Real and We Have All Just Had a Bad Dream:
I'm not a witch. I'm a nerd. And I know all the great centers of nerddom
Just for once, I wish you trolls would bring me some good news. "Sire, Missouri has boils." Something cheerful
This call is pointless

(4/9) Stray Kids as Apple Employees AU
okay, ik what you’re gonna say.
“wtf mari, why apple employees?”
honestly, i don’t have a good reason.
i literally came out of my shower and was like, “pffft, they’d make funny apple employees,” then this AU was born.
i might continue this, i might not. depends on my itty bitty brain when it comes up with content.
i also sort of wanna do a stray kids as baristas at starbucks but idk
anYWAYS let’s do it.
CHAN!
aaaaah our beloved leader is the technical support advisor who basically helps people with troubleshooting.
he’s the dude you contact when your stupid device isn’t doing what you want it to but you’re….calling from home.
he always has his headset on him. (fyi, it’s a headphone thingy with a mic attached to it.)
Like alWAYS
woojin asked him once why he literally wore it like his life depended on it.
probably because it did
his response was simple, “so i can take calls and help customers while making sure jeongin doesn’t burn the store down at the same time.”  (︶︿︶)
woojin didn’t ask any further questions bc he understood all too well.       ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
(don’t worry, i’ll explain later.)
chan was super good at his job lmao.
he effortlessly engaged with people, explaining step by step solutions with patience and had an approach tailored to each individual customer.
papa steve jobs would be v proud indeed
he had difficult responsibilities too bro
imagine getting yelled at for a whole day by people you didn’t even know, because they were angry at a device you didn’t even mAKE-
when they say, ‘patience is a virtue,’ they rlly mean:
pATIENCE
IS
A FUCKIN
VIRTUE
ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ bc most people would probably grow annoyed after the other person in the phone line keep shouting & blaming.
but not chan. no. no.
he’d be tolerant with the customer, and continue to provide the best customer service possible. ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
… i mean… unless the person was getting too aggressive for his liking, then he’d just remove the headpiece, scroll through the company website, and wait till the person has cooled down before proceeding to help them with a positive attitude. (꒪ཀ꒪)
Hyunjin
his job title is literally, ‘Genius,’
i kid you not. i looked this shit up.
jeongin thought it was a legit at first
like they all joined the company at different times but jeongin was the last to hop on the apple train.
hyunjin’s name on the schedule board would be beside the word, ‘genius,’ and for like… two whole months, jeongin thought hyunjin was the mastermind behind the whole apple operation
i cannot tell you how many times hyunjin was approached by jeongin with a problem that he didn’t have the knowledge to help with
luckily, seungmin was feeling nice and explained that, ‘genius,’ was just the name of hyunjin’s job.
why?
seungmin didn’t know either
okay  baCK TO HYUNJIN!! his job is to quickly diagnose product issues on the spot, explain what’s wrong with the device to the customer. after determining whether repairs can be done or a replacement is needed, he’d offer solutions to help get users up and running again.
now don’t get me wrong, hyunjin loved his job bc he liked helping people and fixing devices bUT!!!!
after working in the same store for almost a year, these group of girls would literally be there every w e e k e n d to get “help,” from him.
he was flattered and all about the female audience but it was getting stale.
some girls would breAK their devices on purpose just to have an excuse to talk to him.
the convo’s they’d try to initiate wasn’t even about the faulty device anymore.
this rlly bothered him bc it took his time away from helping ACTUAL customers.
eventually, chan banned them from coming in to disrupt the peace of the store and to protect hyunjin from their beady eyes and weirdness.
jeongin mostly came to hyunjin for help with something (bc he knew the older dude wouldn’t tell chan)
& these two doods would try to fix the problem together!! hopefully before chan finds out about the problem bc
oof
then mr. advisor would be streSSED AF and
they’d get a scolding from mother!woojin
Jeongin
our bby boy is the technical specialist who helps people get started with using their devices.
gets excited with you when you get your new phone or computer.
knows all the tips and tricks on getting the most out of your device
is especially patient with the elderly and first-time users.
he knows!! that technology is difficult to understand and work around when you’re barely starting out so he’ll take as long as necessary to help someone understand how the phone or laptop works.
but...
y’all…
don’t let this boi anywhere a fire hazard area
i mean, he doesn’t mean to start fires
they just...happen???
like, they have this small employee mini kitchen in the upstairs breakroom (literally the whole 2nd floor could be a one bedroom apartment)
and of course when there’s a kitchen, there has to be SNACKS!!!
and jeongin was hungry during his shift.
so he goes up during the non-busy hours of the day to get himself some fud
(✿◠‿◠) a growing boi needs his nutrients!!
chan had left briefly for a coffee run, woojin was downstairs trying to fix a malfunctioning monitor. the other boys were either sick, out for lunch, or hadn’t clocked in yet.
jeongin put in a bag of popcorn in the microwave, and checked the box for instructions
it said, “for 5,000 watt microwave = 2 min. for 500 watt microwave = 4 min.”
he checked the microwave and it was 1,000 watt :-)
uhhh he didn’t really know at what time to put it in as so…
he typed in 3 min.
he didn’t mind having some burnt popcorn bc hey!! he just wanted to eat something.
he took a seat in front of felix’s computers and started scrolling through the security tapes in hopes of finding one funny footage of a customer.
:-) it started smelling like smoke for some odd reason.
mmm yep that was the smell of smoke for sure.
wonder where that’s coming from?
he thought.
he turned around to look for the source, and
HOLY SHIT THE MICROWAVE WAS ON FIRE
the panic in his body went from 0% to 100% real quick.
jeongin couldn’t just turn off the damned heating machine bc it was in flames, but he just couldn’t let it continue to get bigger and bigger.
he grabbed the pitcher of lemonade at the table and yEET that juice all over the microwave.
it did like minimal help.
he could hear chan entering the store, calling for woojin to help him bring the cups upstairs to the break room
oh no
he was in the break room.
he grabbed a wash cloth from the sink and began smACKIN at the flames
cue the parents walking in.
chan: (.•̵̑⌓•̵̑)
woojin: ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽
without wasting another second, woojin yanked jeongin away from the fire bc it was starting to get really big and he could have gotten hurt ( ˘︹˘)
while chan got the fire extinguisher from beside the fridge
was that always there? jeongin asked himself
and chan used it to stop the fire.
poor bby jeongin got a massive scolding from both parents and told him to be more cautious next time.
then they all cleaned up the mess before the rush of people came in the shop!!
the next day, the other boys walked in to woojin spraying the SHIT outta this air freshener all over the break room bc it reaked of burnt popcorn & metal.
windows were all open to the smell out and the beloved microwave was nowhere to be seen.
chan was sipping on his morning cup of coffee when minho asked what happened.
“jeongin nearly burned the store down so there’s no more microwave.”
“oh. okay.”
Felix
ahhh okay so his job isn’t anything tech related really, except for when he watches people through his cams
he was the security guard of the store uwu
he has so far prevented 7 fights from happening and 6 of those 7 were between minho and seungmin lmao.
he was the perfect man for this job bc on the outside, his face is like:  (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ
but when he’s upset or angry, mr. security guard mode is activated  (ง’̀-‘́)ง so he has to remove people from the premises.
he uses his SCARY voice when dealing with overly aggressive people and it usually does the trick when he asks them to leave
but when lil kids are just so excited and curious about the devices, he uses his soft uwu voice to converse with them about their day or what they’re doing in school
overall the cutest & dependable guard ever!!! 11/10
once changbin kept trying to fiddle with felix’s computer and he was like, “bro.. you’ve been trying to guess my password for like 2 hours. it’s not yngbok01.”
and changbin was soooo frustrated with this and he looked at felix like   (ノಥ益ಥ)ノ ┻━┻ “PLS JUST SIGN IN!!”
a smirk was on the guard’s face as he asked why he should.
changbin looked defeated and finally said, “i was locking up the store last thursday and was doing my own version of karaoke and i… tripped on the cords, and my jeans ripped open as i fell. If that blackmailer minho gets his hands on that footage, i’m dONE FOR—”
felix nearly toppled over from laughing so much as he watched the clip of what happened while changbin was visibly on edge, looking for any sign that minho was in the room
he still deleted the clip tho bc he’s a good friend

Aaaaaaaaa okay another quick [I apparently don’t understand the meaning of quick] commentary post about chapter 367, this time with screenshots, because there is s o much to unpack he r e [I though I was done, but haHA guESS NoT]
Spoilesrsrs ahea d [this is just me gushing over Furudate and Kageyama [with a bit of Yama, Tsukki, and Suga] and how i am kinda okay with the reason Karasuno lost because it makes sense to me, and just more gushing in general awoeinaowien] 
First, that colour sprea  d 
Tumblr media
Beautiful as always, but ju s t damn can I take a moment to appreciate it fully? 
The quote at the top too. It’s basically saying the same thing as the chapter title (’our spring is over’) but it’s less final than the chapter title. Saying it this way, at the start of the chapter, when the chapter title isn’t known yet - it still gives the sense of hope. ‘This same spring will never come again’ so we gotta win now because it won’t come again it’s just another motivation for them to WIN. Coupled with the image itself? With everyone (minus Hinata) pushing forward full with determination????? YoU ARE STILL ANTICIPATING KARASUNO TO WIN
BUT NOPE
And okay, just a small insert here - because you all should be warned that Kageyama is favourite and I’m 100000% biased in everything I say because of it.
BuT KageyaMA IN fRonT. I have to admit, my biased self was really kinda hoping for Kageyama to lead Karasuno to victory. THoUGh ofc that isn’t what Haikyuu!! Is about - you don’t just win (or lose) because of one person. but because of how reliable he seemed ALL thROuGHoUT nationals and during ch 366 esp, i was really kinda hoping Karasuno would win because Kageyama would be able to fully draw out ALL of his spikers’ potential (as he has been striving to be able to do) [though I think he still got close!!!! With his teamwork with Tsukishima making leaps and bounds, and being able to send a quick to Yamaguchi as soon as he stepped on the court] 
BuT ANYWAYS I digress [from what? dunno, there really isn’t a point to this post]
Oh wait, actually one more gush about Kageyama
Tumblr media
IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE’VE SEEN SOMEONE’S SURPRISED/AWED/CREEPED OUT REACTION TO KAGEYAMA’S PRECISE TOSSES BLE S S E D 
ALSO 
CAn we talk about how smooTHLY Yamaguchi stepped onto the court????????????? BABY CROW IS ALL GROWN UP He’s officially over the intimidation of stepping onto the court - even when now it was more than just to serve!! So much so that it wasn’t highlighted at all!! SO PROUD!!! Can you imagine just how much more he’ll be able to grow in the comings years??? [Though now I suppose we don’t have to imagine aowienaowien we’ll get to see it in canon]
Ah also, I said this in my previous post, but since that post was 100% a mess since it was just me word vomiting onto tumblr [not that this is that much different--] I want to say again, that even though I am biased to Kageyama, and I wanted him to be able to bring Karasuno to victory, I understand why he couldn’t [besides the fact that no one person can do it alone moral] 
But Kageyama’s jump serve is still, give or take, less than a year old 
It’s been in the making for less than a year, it’s not at its peak yet. The fact that he was able to make national veterans like Kamomedai struggle as much as he did is amazing. 
Tumblr media
They weren’t aiming for a perfect receive off of Kageyama’s serve. Nozawa, who is a third year in this powerhouse school - who has probably had plenty of practice receiving powerful serves - was just aiming to ‘get a hand on it’ 
But, Nozawa is a third year in a powerhouse school with plenty of experience. He was able to ‘get a hand on’ Kageyama’s still developing serve. So it makes sense that Kageyama’s serve wasn’t enough to give Karasuno the win
ANd it makes sense why Karasuno lost
I would have been slightly upset if Karasuno lost just because Hinata wasn’t able to play, but I don’t think that is what Furudate-sensei was trying to show us. 
It wasn’t even just the fact that Tsukishima got a muscle strain and had to be pulled from the match either.
It’s been said again and again in canon, actually. It’s the same as Kageyama’s serve - Karasuno, in general, are still developing. Yes, the fact that they are always changing and coming up with new things helped them get this far, but it’s also true that because almost all of their new attacks that have been getting them points - are still not perfected yet. 
Karasuno is still new, half their starters are 1st years, and all of that, paired with the fact that they just got a really bad break with the line up (facing a the second seeded school, then the next day facing with their rivaled school in a long rally heavy match, then facing Kamomedai on the same day?? OOF) All of that is the reason Karasuno lost. It wasn’t just because Hinata was taken out.
ANywAYS 
I FULLY expect Kageyama giving Tsukishima setting tipS
Tumblr media
Because it’s true that the setter isn’t the only one who sets the ball, it can’t always return to the setter perfectly after all. I WANT KAGEYAMA TO GIVE TSUKISHIMA SETTING TIPS AWOIEANWOEIN
Not that Tsukishima isn’t doing an amazing job without them [seTTING IS DIFFICULT] but still
Also,

Tsukishima PLEASE
You really are just like Hinata. You really can’t deny it at this point aowienAOIWENAWE
Tumblr media
I mean seriously, loOK AT THAT FACE
Tumblr media
IS THAT NOT A HINATA CHASING AFTER THE BALL FACE??????????????
Anddddddddddd Suga-san being as cool as always awoienaowien
Tumblr media
It hurts, because he is correct. In this situation Yamaguchi was 100% the right choice [too bad it ended before Yamaguchi could really shine] 
And it hurts, because Suga won’t regret his words here even with their loss.
Speaking of their loss;;;;;;;;
Tumblr media
ThAT cOMP THO
Everyone’s expressions awoeinaowiena and the third years, being the main focus, because this title is about them, it’s all of Karasuno’s ended spring, but it was their lAST spring. 
But look at their faces.
I really appreciate Furudate-sensei’s choice here. They aren’t gritting their teeth or expressing frustration or sadness in any way [yet] Because of their stoic expressions, it really drives it all home. Our Spring is Over. Just a fact being stated. It’s just....so final.
I’ve seen some people hope that there is a foul that will be called next chapter, but I can’t see that happening. The only foul that would help Karasuno right now is if Hoshiumi hit the net, but there is no indication that he was even close to doing so, and it would feellllllll kinda cheap to take away the finality in this chapter like that. 
So, Karasuno’s spring is over. 
But I have to admit, as much as this is painful, and as much as I’ve been obsessed over this loss for days now, I am still excited for what is to come????
I want to see the third years expressing that they’ve had no regrets with their team. That they are proud of their underclassmen and looking forward to what they’ll do next year
I want to see everyone seeing the third years off during graduation.
I want to see Ennoshita being CAPTAIN
I want to see the current first years being SENPAI 
-- I WANT NEW FIRST YEARS TO LOOK UP TO THE CURRENT ONES
like can you imagine Kageyama walking on eggshells around them at first because lets face it he was not the kindest senpai in middle school anD HE’S CHANGED AND HE WANTS TO TRY AND DO BETTER [but then Hinata does something stupid and he ends up yelling in front of them anyways] BuT new first years still SUPER impressed with Kageyama’s toss aoweinOAWIEAWE I WANT a baby setter to go up to Kageyama and ask him for help and tiPS and Kageyama giViNG them in his dumb clumsy way 
I want Tsukishima to act cold and cruel but the first years still being impressed with him and he just doesn’t know how to compute. He’s not used to anyone but Yamaguchi being so impressed with him. 
HinATA would just be like Tanaka and Noya probably awoeinaoWENAWe but it would be so cute because he would still completely get all excited and call Tanaka and Noya senpai all the time when he’s impressed with them s o aoweinawei 
I want Yamaguchi to get all the lo v e he desERVES and a baby new first year to go up to him and say ‘i was never really good at volleyball and was never a regular but i saw you play as the pitch server and i got inspired thinking maybe i can do that too’
ANd I know that we won’t be getting all [or even any] of that but i’m still hyped alright aoweinaowen
But seriously, I want to see what kind of first years Karasuno will get [and mmaYBE hoPEfuLLY it’ll be a decent amount? Not like ten because fact of the matter is is that they DIDN’T win, but three or so would be cool.] 
I want to see Karasuno FINALLY getting the gold that they deserve after seeing this loss that they had to face. 
I would even want to see the current first years be third years, if Furudate-sensei takes us that far. JuSttttttttt sooo many opportunities from here on out??? 
Basically, i’m just 100% stuck in volleyball hell.

Summer 2019 Entries-- I guess
Continuing on Day 4 After waking up at 11, I just ate and waste my time on my laptop. I wanted to sleep but wasn't able to. I got to read a chapter of “The Knife of Never Letting Go.” Went to Fry’s Electric to see the things we need for building a computer and approximating the price for building one. Still didn’t get to think of a consequence for P for finishing a book over summer. Went home. Started another move at 10. A movie about basically Japan during world war ii. 
Leading onto day 5: May 28 I told Aidan Robertson Happy Birthday at 12:18 AM or so. After finishing the movie, PG (aka P but now I know his last name lol), KH, and I just knock out. We need our energy for the bonfire.  Woke up at 9:30 ish to pack the things and build some food. Got picked up at 11:30 or so. Made it to the pier at around 12:15.
Okay, this is going to be a little long. Beach Hangout 1 The first thing that I did was swimming for a nice hour or so. Water as freezing and there were so many seashells that we walked on. The bottom of my feet was hot pink. Went back to our tent or base to have a little lunch. I didn’t eat much. So there was 15 that came. RK, KVP, TL, SC, TP, NK, JN, KH, KT, KvL, KnL, E, PG, D, and me. :D I was about to go back to the water but it was too cold. So I just sat in the sand and watch others have fun. Playing with the sand was soothing. NK, P, and KH came up to the sand for a little bit and just sat there. NK and I had those indirect depressive talk and joke sitting there. Then we head back to change. Then head to CVS to buy KH league money. Yea that makes sense. Ooooooooooookie. When I was by the sand to watch others play, the others split into some groups to buy certain things on the main street. So we are in 3 groups. We met up, took some pictures. Then went to CVS. Being in the first group is JN, NK, KH, and I. The walk there was nice. Especially getting to talk to NK. Blub bloop blab boi. His intentions are pure. A precious one that needs to be protected. Once we got back to base, I wanted to sleep. It was aight. We had some good talk. NK, JN, and I. There were 2 other groups. One playing cards against humanity and one on the tarp thing talking. Tbh the group on the tarp was the kool kids group. NK, JN, and I talked about topic from all over the place. Now I got another hugging buddy. It’s NK. :D  The bonfire was lit and we roasted marshmallows and make s’ mores. Burning all my papers was great. PG found some of my drawings which was an oof. Took a lot o group pictures because TL was the first to leave. Then JN’s and KT’s group have to leave. This includes JN, NK, KVP, KH, KT, KvL, and E. NK gave me a hug before leaving which as noice :D. I stared at the firepit for a long while before SC said to start walking to be picked up. SC’s group includes KnL, TP, SC herself, and me. PG walked with us half way and waited at the police station for his ride to go home. RK and D were the last to leave the fire pit. SC, TP, KnL, and I waited on the Main street for a while. Then head SC’s mom came to drive us home.  After showering, texted for a bit and posted some pictures before movie night. So PG found out my bday by stalking my facebook account. ;-; So I don’t have a consequence for not finishing my book before summer. PG, KH and I watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Then everyone just knocked out after that at 1:30 AM.
