reading orv sometimes gives me a whiplash.

like wdym, these lines are fr and not from a fanfic:

yjh having a valid crashout

[random-remzy]

*cough*

Y'know when Ody was like "I need to be a monster to get home, rarwrr"

Yeah, he didn't actually give up Polites' "Open arms" thing until "Six Hundred Strike"

In "Get In The Water" Ody doesn't jump straight to planning, scheeming, attacknng, or anything really. He actually tries to reason with him, to use compassion and sympathy. He tries to relate to Poseidon and apologizes, encouragung him to forgive.

Then when he's in the ocean, sinking, Poli, Eury, and Anticlea sing to him. But their words are different from the usual.

Eurylochus, is encouraging him, rather than criticizing him.

Anticlea is telling him that she loves him, instead of making it seem like he let her down.

But Polites' what he said. That is what gave Odysseus the ability to go Ruthless on Poseidon. Instead of what he's always been saying, which is "This life is amazing, when you greet it with open arms." He now says, "You can relax my friends, I can tell you're getting nervous"

This is him telling Odysseus, "I know what you've been through... Do what you must to see them."

This 'acceptance' is what allows Odysseus to abandon any form of compassion and mercy and why he's able to be as ruthless as he is.

That's also why he was quick to kill Eurymachus, he mentioned open arms, Odysseys didn't need that philosophy anymore, dead.

Also, y'know when he says "My mercy has long since drowned" ?

yeah thats bs. It only drowned like, 4 hours ago, when he was sinking in the ocean. Because yes, the spirits whre pushing him up. But Polites took his philosophy down with him.

so uh yeah.

istg these lines still give me the chills:

But when does the comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

No one can convince that Jorge was not inspired by atla

Kevin, leaning over Seth’s coffin: how could you do this to us, we’re so short staffed.

fake idgafer i saw you beat up four men for being homophobic to your cousin. i saw you kill your brother’s abuser. i saw you befriend a kindhearted religious girl even though you knew the others would tease you. i saw you offer two traumatized boys protection when they thought they would never get any. i saw you ask “how many kids” when you found out that your abuser targeted more people. i saw you sitting on the roof even though you’re afraid of heights because you didn’t want to feel nothing anymore

neil “pathological liar” josten and andrew “eidetic memory” minyard make for theoretically the most implausible ship and that’s what makes them the best. “i am alive because i am forgettable so the people hunting me don’t catch me” vs “i never forget anything”

I know many people have said it. I know everyone knows. But I'm going to say it again.

Andrew never intended to survive the car crash.

ANDREW NEVER INTENDED TO SURVIVE THE CAR CRASH.

haikyuu is incredible man…

you ever think about the fact that some people exist not to become stars but to lead others towards the light? ….

hinata was so moved by the little giant that his life found meaning the moment he came into his life (and the little giant never really ended up becoming a pro volleyball player in the first place despite his drive and talent!)

nekomata sensei’s “all we have to do is to lower the net!” shaped kuroo’s entire existence. it left such an impression on him that kuroo turned it into his goal in life: helping as many people as possible discover volleyball.

kuroo himself never going pro but becoming instead a bridge between people and volleyball (which he loves so dearly he wants to make it everyone’s business).

takeda sensei’s “He Who Would Climb a Ladder Must Begin at the Bottom” (which he says to hinata during his first year) became so meaningful to him that hinata hanged it on the wall of his bedroom in Brazil.

sugawara becoming a teacher and getting emotional when facing hinata (to whom he used to set when kageyama refused to do it) and kageyama (who quite literally took what had been his place up until the moment he came) and their growth.

you might think you will never end up doing anything great. instead, i believe you might not end up doing something grand, but whatever it is that you do in life it will always be great and you simply never know whether that one thing you said once or that one thing you once did will ever become the driving force behind someone else’s dream.

🏐if I had a nickel for every time a piece of sports media featured a short incredibly fast little ginger I’d have two nickels…. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice 🥍

Okay, hear me out. Instead of the Miya Twins we have the Miya Triplets — Oikawa being the oldest, Atsumu the middle child, and Osamu the baby. Let's just say their parents divorced — one parent took Tooru and their eldest sister (mother of Takeru) then the other parent took Atsumu and Osamu. The triplets barely remember each other, the changing of the surname of the other parent and kids didn't help either, so I'm not sure how they'll find each other again and know they're triplets.

Let's just say their eldest sister made it possible and the Triplets reunited in the All Star match.

I think the overall dynamic between kandriel regardless of whether you’re shipping the three of them or it’s a qpr or they’re friends or whatever is funny bc their behavior is not inherently romantic and they all kind of coparent each other and it’s funny like Andrew and Kevin are like Neil I swear to God if you don’t turn your phone on and take care of yourself I’m going to kill you or you’re going to have a permanent babysitter, and Andrew and Neil are like Kevin for fucks sake stand up for yourself and enjoy your life a little (stab your abuser it’ll be fun), and Neil and Kevin are like Andrew you can’t live exclusively off of ice cream you have to exercise and plan for the future because guess what bitch you have one and we aren’t letting you out of it

Listen. I understand why fic writers often have Post Canon Twinyards have a relationship that is limited to like "we only see each other on holidays and send one obligatory 'you alive?' text per month" but like

Aaron was faster and 'Did he touch you?' and joint sessions with Bee kinda convince me that Post Canon Twinyards have a pretty decent relationship. Maybe they aren't hanging out every weekend and sipping mimosas while chatting about their spouses but like,,,

One fic I read had them having One Obligatory Family Dinner every month and semi-regular texts and collaborating holiday trips to Germany. Sure they were still bitches and assholes who argued and pressed buttons still too tender to poke in polite company which never stopped them from poking anyway, but like-

Come on. Aaron and Andrew are brothers. Yes by blood, but more importantly by choice. A lot of those choices weren't the best ones, sure. But they made them and they kept making them despite despite despite

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, and the Twinyards emerged and almost drowned from the water but still gripped each other with raw and bloodied fingers and that's why I believe in Wholesome Twinyards Supremacy
