Seriously. What the fuck did he think was going to happen?

[bigmickswingin]

protip for everyone, but mostly boys in this case:

when you are on a date, and someone has an interest you don't quite get, instead of saying lol lame, try saying hmm i don't quite get that, please explain that to me, and then listen as the other person talks about why that thing is something they are in to.

you might learn something which recontextualizes the matter, and you will definitely learn something more about your date, which is the entire point of dating.

you don't have to be a superfan by the end, but you will have shown you can be chill and take an interest in stuff, which is much more likely to result in a second date instead of being ditched in a coffee line.

this also works outside of dating, btw.

hi not to be that guy but i see no one—and i mean NO ONE talking about how Hirose's home life most likely is/was really bad. there's a ton of little hints about it but once i thought about it... i couldn't unsee the signs—

-when he wasn't scared of the cockroach 'oh we used to have these at home all the time!'

-what's his name middle school friend with the picture of Hirose 'oh i've never actually been to his house even knowing him all this time!'.

-the gym clothes he 'borrowed' in middle school were actually just most likely given to him by todoroki because he might not have been able to afford new ones

-never ONCE mentions his parents, his older sister is most likely taking care of him

-constant people pleasing (fake dating his friend)

-being late, being forgetful, might be having to take a lot of responsibility outside of school

and it makes me so sad cuz he's also sooo nice to Nakamura and most likely he's extra silly around him bc that's the only person that hasn't done anything to make him feel judged, or like he has to put up a front

EDIT: OH AND I JUST REMEMBERED WHEN HE TALKS BACK TO THE TEACHERS???? He’s got attitude, then him also idolizing otogiri sensei??? Maybe the only positive male role model in his life

[unapologeticallylorenz]

Oh this headcanon fucking rules!! Also explains why Otagiri seems to focus on Hirose a lot, considering he said he began teaching so he could be there for kids who don’t have someone looking out for them. He probably clocked it early, especially if he noticed it’s Hirose’s older sister who is his emergency contact.

inappropriate timing

[myaatwins]

here’s this while i’m still processing the movie

[kind-of-human2]

Imagine learning that the jerkass guy you’ve been trying to reach out to for at least a month who just killed himself was actually a repressed trans woman and now you have to listen to everyone misgender her because how are you supposed to bring that up in casual conversation

[cringelordofchaos]

Hirose: I don't get girls at all. Guys you are so much easier to talk to. Don't tell anyone. I dated a girl just because she liked me but I couldn't be myself with her. Hey let's watch a romance movie together, a genre I don't really watch, because I thought it would be fun with you specifically.

Nakamura: I can't believe Hirose is straight

I love how the anime changes this scene from the manga

In the manga this scenes more so played for laughs, with nakamuras expression being directly seen, and hifumi looking a little horrified tbh

But in the anime, we don’t see his face from the front. But from what we can see, he’s been crying. And it isn’t portrayed as comedic at all

And unlike the manga hifumis expression isn’t that of fear/uncertainty at all. Her face softens a little cos she understands that this time the request is much more serious.

I actually cannot do this holy shit ik how the chapter ends in the manga but the anime made it 20x more emotional and it just rlly rlly hit me. Pls give this boy a happy ending

thinking about the new Nakamura-kun, specifically the moment where we get the briefest insight into Hirose’s POV

right before this clip, Hirose shows Nakamura the game they’re talking about. He’s trying to include Nakamura, to not ice him out or make him feel excluded. He invited him to study and then to lunch! He clearly wants Nakamura here and enjoys his company. But Nakamura doesn’t know about the things they’re talking about and so can’t contribute.

We’re in Nakamura’s head for 99% of the anime. We know that in this scene, he’s writing down notes about what Hirose likes (music, shows, video games) so he can check them out later. But Hirose doesn’t know that, and they just came from studying at the library. So to Hirose, it seems like Nakamura doesn’t actually want to be there; that he’s just being polite and is trying to continue studying with his notebook. And that’s why Hirose looks so sad and guilty in a shot that we the audience are privy to, but Nakamura doesn’t notice.

And we see how Hirose deals with that guilt and sadness—by not giving up! By paying attention! He thinks Nakamura is sitting in polite discomfort, trying to sneak in some studying, and he tries to make Nakamura more comfortable. He asks him about what music he likes, he notices when his drink is empty and offers to get him more. He even gets sulky when his other friends usurp his gallant offer by asking him to get more for them, too, because that offer was to Nakamura, thank you!

Then, when Nakamura helps him get the drinks, Hirose takes that opportunity to apologize for his perceived offense of “making” Nakamura tag along.

And we get a nice subtle parallel here to when Hirose almost did the exact thing he’s worried Nakamura is doing now—politely tagging along when Takeuchi tells him to join so as not to rock the boat or be a “spoilsport,” as Takeuchi calls him. Forcing himself to go. And now Hirose is concerned that he acted like Takeuchi and pressured Nakamura.

This is such interesting insight into Hirose, and really helps further establish—outside of Nakamura’s biased POV—that he’s a genuinely kind and considerate person (even if he does have a bit of a mischievous streak with that prank he pulled on Takeuchi) and that he’s genuinely interested in putting in effort in being friends (and maybe more) with Nakamura.

I really hope we get more insights like this outside of Nakamura’s POV because Nakamura, our precious adorable unreliable narrator, is wrapped up in his own anxieties and stuck in his own head, and assumes Hirose is perceiving him through the same Doom Gloom Awkward Weirdo lens he sees himself and his actions through. But Hirose doesn’t know his thoughts, his plans, his hopes, and Hirose has his own internal world that Nakamura can’t see into, either.

And we the audience got a tiny glimpse into Hirose’s internal world this episode.
