I have several thoughts and feelings after watching today’s episode:
This fist-bump was so unnecessary??? yet so cute??? their constant need to be all over each other is adorable and I live for it.
Baby wrapping their entire baby hand around your thumb 🥺🥺 literally the softest thing in the universe, all the feels over these baby siblings.
married
so married
Island Mama and Papa approve (Lei reaching out to Kukui - when I tell you I cried…)
two bros, watching the glistening ocean in paradise, less-than-two-feet-apart-because-they-definitely-gay
I love how Ash tenses during the catch??? as if it were his???
and then he’s so happy and proud when Goh succeeds???
Ash called Lana and gushed about Goh for hours, I have decided.
The enthusiastic welcome my baby deserves 💖 (though Goh was just glad to have some backup for the craziness lol)
this nervous/tense scratching?? character traits come through I’m taking notes
no you his bf
yes, I love how confident Goh is on this bit, I love how he took Kiawe’s challenge so seriously and wanted to make the battle worthwhile not only for their audience but also for himself, even when he knew he didn’t stand a chance. My proud boy made me very proud indeed.
Ash wasn’t surprised?? nor worried?? He saw the whole thing coming from a mile??? I thought it was quite interesting that he turned unusually serious when the whole stand-off with Kiawe begun (since the lunch scene). Like he could see what Kiawe was doing, but he was genuinely surprised and later curious (and dare I say, impressed) with Goh’s reaction (and subsequent speech) on the situation.
Island best friend approves
didn’t he promise Delia almost the same thing?? People who love Ash recognizing Goh as someone who can look after him??? uh, love.
y’all besties now sorry Raboot we don’t make the rules
the enthusiastic praise my baby deserves 💖
my personal headcanon is that they move there when they’re adults and raise their kids by the sea (I also wrote a whole-ass fic in which they go to Alola on vacation as young adults, now it seems like a good moment to shamelessly invite you to check it out…)
they promise each other more adventures together??? and I’m supposed to believe they’re not hopelessly in love???? HA.
Anygays, this episode gave me life.
Also, at the scene when they say "Satoshi!", we can see how Gou slightly blushes :3
