You know, I think if I didn’t meet you, I would still be really shy. I feel I got a lot of important things from seeing you just pushing forward. So I’m worried when you’re down.
Clip from Interview with Susuki Tatsuhisa about Rin
Animage July 2022
Ever since the scene where Rin’s hair fluttered, Rin has had overwhelming heroine energy
—At a stage greeting, Suzuki-san, you talked about how "Rin has overwhelming heroine energy" but you ran out of time so you didn’t get to talk about it much. So in what ways does Rin have heroine energy?
Suzuki: That did happen didn’t it? (lol). (Miyano) Mamoru is the one
Could you reccomend me makorin fics :D♡♡♡ please im new to this ship (it can be mpreg smut or whatevs ;; w ;; ) just that the fics are finished ;; ;;
So I don't really do a lot of of mpreg or anything like that. Also I haven't indulged in Free fic in a very long time so my recs are going to be kinda ancient. But they are also super good! Also anything by the others listed here is golden.
Smoke, Ashes and Water: One hell of a romantic ghost story! Also lol ghost sex.
The Library of Lost Things: All of Lark's fics are amazing and this is no exception. It's so surreal.
His Fate, Tinted Red: I'm a sucker for a good soul mate fic, and I absolutely love when the Free ones involve colors!
We Meet Where Nobody Knows: Another Lark fic full of magical realism.
Bloom and Scatter: Warning THIS ONE IS SUPER DARK and about zombies. But the writing is superb.
The Principle of Casualty: I love fail sex fics. So here's your smut.
There's one last author who does some of the best trio fics I've ever seen but I can't find their stuff on AO3. Might have only been Tumblr and it's been so long that searching my tags would take hours. Maybe I'll get lucky and stumble into them later. But this set should give you some nice starting ground!
Omg am I writing a thing for Tumblr? Yes I am but it will be sadly shorter than my meta of old. Maybe I'll write one of my huge posts after I see FS2. Probably a post mortem on my overall Makoto arc feels.
Anyway, we're here to talk MakoRin!
I realized I never really discussed the MakoRin moment in FS1. I know I've been kinda soured on MR and MHR post-DF. But I actually did really like this moment because it wasn't Rin helping Makoto, it was the other way around this time. And that was important.
It was a great callback to the awesome scene in ES where Rin wants to check on Makoto and see if he's decided on his future. I always loved that because I always loved how much Rin pushes Makoto to think more about himself and his own path. Not just about Haru.
This aspect was actually handled really well in FS1, where Makoto tells Rin that he's less shy because of knowing him and that Rin has helped him grow. And it's just such great validation of a friendship that once meant so much to me in the days of Utsumi's Free.
But even more than that, I really like that Makoto sought Rin out because he knew he was upset. And that Rin calls him on it, saying he used his intuition. It's really cute and shows they BOTH think about each other, beyond Haru. They have their own friendship too. ;;
I really liked that Makoto straight up tells Rin he's worried about him. Which gets the cutest "thanks" from Rin. Again, I just like them having a reciprocal relationship instead of Rin always having to do everything. That has long been my MakoRin complaint.
That Rin cares more about Makoto than Makoto cares about him. So I'm really happy this movie FINALLY showed that Makoto cares just as much about Rin. ;; I also liked Rin telling Makoto how much he means to him too. "I'm also really glad you were there back then, Makoto."
I like that Rin talks about Makoto supporting him in his own way too. (I would argue I would have liked to have *SEEN* more of this, but it's nice to know it was there.) It's just great to see them talk on this level with one another again.
It helps erase the gross taste DF gave me, when it implied that Makoto was jealous of RH. I hated that so much. So this casual friendly heart-to-heart was really good for my long buried (but still there) MakoRin feels.
And as always Rin still uses his chance to buck Makoto up, saying Makoto's kids would be lucky to have Makoto as a teacher. Just daww.
Of course you also have the classic Rin feeling comfortable with sharing his future plans with Makoto, a callback to Makoto doing the same with him in ES. You know, I love callbacks. So yeah FS1 was great payoff for this nuanced and often forgotten friendship.
It's short and we don't really get much else from them, but it was VERY SATISFYING and I look forward to maybe more of them in FS2. Thank you, FS1, for making me believe in MakoRin again. ;;b
This was the creator commentary I mentioned. You can check out a fuller explanation here. But the general gist is that Makoto was as moved by young Rin’s confidence as young Haru. The phrasing is along the lines of “shot through the heart,” which I find adorable. Also, Rin was basically telling Makoto he wanted to swim with him again in Timeless Medley Yakusoku . Which was REALLY DANG OBVIOUS but it’s nice to have confirmation.
rinmako is such a soft spot pairing for me and im so super happy to finally collab with @yourroyalkindness♥ (even tho we’re both dead on my living room furniture from drawing for like 12 straight hours,, rip…orz))
I thought I accidentally opened the makorin tag instead of my dash but I had to realize it was my dash :D Welcome back! ^.^
The Final Stroke movies and recent creator commentary brought back all my MakoRin feels. I felt compelled to return to my people. :3 I'm glad people are still excited to see this account. I'm planning on adding some long backlogged content as well as the recent creator comments.
