you may have heard of the winter collection skater fuji

but this is his actual form

[aqvarius]

rewatching hyoutei vs rikkai and it’s oshigaku heaven:

gakuto recognising that yuushi isn’t cool/hasn’t shut off his emotions despite the fact that his face and voice are barely any different than usual lol 

oshitari leg fetish yuushi cool spraying gakuto’s ankle 

the fact that they both have the same Spot™ (a la golden pair’s shipping container, such a married couple thing)

gakuto reaching out to the grouchy new transfer student 

the moment when chibi yuushi falls in love 

yuushi putting aside his cool/strategic tennis for the sake of gakuto’s dream

(and you all know how i feel about the impulsive/emotional dreamer and the cool-headed partner who puts aside reason to spoil/indulge them combination)

yuushi/their combination literally boosting gakuto to new heights that he can’t reach alone 

the way he yells “gakutoooooooo” as if that isn’t the least collected, most heated/passionate we’ve ever heard/seen yuushi be in his entire life

and how gakuto just knows what to do, meaning they’ve either practised this before (unlikely?) or they’re basically on the same wavelength

the absolute faith they have in each other doing this manoeuver 

yuushi dropping his racket and running over to catch gakuto as he faints like something out of a romance movie 

the way he looks so concerned when gakuto falls but then relaxes/is relieved when gakuto opens his eyes and speaks 

yuushi doesn’t say “we won”, he says “you and i won” 

also bonus jabun feels:

marui and jackal always being the parents of their underclassman 

jackal gave up his spot playing doubles with marui for the sake of rikkai despite really wanting to play with bunta ;~~~; 

also think of how long he’s had to wait for this opportunity/how hard it must have been to give up considering everything that happened at U-17 camp!!

the way that they share the same values of being selfless (jackal giving up his doubles spot, marui giving jackal’s grip tape [the last token he had of his partner] to choutarou)

marui being angry at tamagawa for wasting jackal’s time and sacrifice 

he probably got his “just try to get in my way” philosophy from jackal covering for him while he was trying out his volley techniques in matches (◡‿◡✿)

which reminds me that marui only really lets himself be spoilt when it’s by jackal, i.e. jackal is the only person he trusts to cover for him (in and out of tennis, which is why he’s always foisting things off onto him lmao)

Fav Pillar pair moments from the British movie? :))

There wasn’t really all that many pillar moments in that one, but! Since I like to

1. After the Japanese players get attacked on their first night in England, most of them gather together to discuss what has just happened. Tezuka seems to be the only one to notice that Ryoma (and Momo but shhh) are still missing. He’s worried~ He knows Ryoma well and he probably realises that the boy always ends up in the centre of all trouble. He’s afraid for Ryoma, whenever the other isn’t around~

2. There’s this moment when Echizen is kind of protecting the Xiu guy after their match. When Xiu declares that he wants to beat the bad guys on his own and Oishi protests, asking to call the police first, Ryoma’s like “Why won’t we let him go and handle them? It’s not our business anyway”. After that we can see Tezuka’s surprised reaction. He obviously wasn’t expecting Ryoma to stand up for the other. I guess it’s not really that much of a tezuryo moment, buuut since I like to imagine unnecessary things…Tezuka saw Echizen playing against Xiu earlier on. We could see him and the other captains looking over their match. Tezuka definitely noticed Xiu’s appreciation towards Ryoma’s skills. And now Ryoma was actually helping the stranger out. I think Tezuka might be just this tiny lil’ bit jelly xD ((which would explain why he doesn’t say a word during the whooole conversation))

3. When the Japanese players find out that Echizen is nowhere to be seen, Tezuka STILL says nothing. He only speaks up when asked. He’s obviously worried about the brat, but he wants to respect his (and Xiu’s) wish. He remains calm on the surface and everyone seems to buy it, with the exception of Atobe sending him a knowing look.

4. Because Tezuka is not-so-calm really. He sneaks out. The calm and composed Tezuka buchou sneaks out when his friends are not looking to go get Echizen.

Now that I’m rewatching it, I find it absolutely hilarious and apparently Atobe does too x’)

5. Oishi tells Tezuka to “go and get Echizen” and Tezuka just NODS. He’s not even trying to hide it. He’s basically gonna sneak into some kind of palace in a foreign country to fetch his jumpy teammate. And that’s not even unusual anymore

Also, let’s not forget that Tezuka wasn’t even planning to take anyone with him to begin with. All the other players are only there with him, because Atobe read his intentions well and caught him on his way. Tezuka was basically going to break into the castle all on his own at first xD

Also bonus:

-Hey! - …

[nuisancehelicopter]

i liked your quiet company may i know why we are having this conversation

[itsgettingcrazieroutthere]

The cutest!!!!

Asking Fuji if he can sleep in their room, because the other are too loud (THRILL PAIR):

Trying to see Inui without his glasses:

I CAN'T!!!

[itsgettingcrazieroutthere]

I want to take a minute to talk about Atobe's relationship with Ryoma and Tezuka. He understood Tezuka's decision to not choose Ryoma for the Local Team and, above that, he understood why, but also understood Ryoma's feelings.

And I want to take another minute to appreciate Akutsu and Ryoma's relationship too. Akutsu started to respect Ryoma during their match and, since then, he's been consistently taking care of Ryoma in his own way. He helped him after Ryoma lost to Sanada. He showed up to Ryoma's official match. He went after Kevin, etc. Most of it gets lost because of Akutsu's "intimidating" behaviour, but I really like the friendship, respect and companionship they developed, and I wish to see more of it.

Ryoma moment part 2

Suddenly ryoma is dumb

[itsgettingcrazieroutthere]

Everytime I watch Ryoma vs Yuuta’s match, I keep thinking about them really hard, you know?

I mean, in the beginning, Yuuta’s obsessed with defeating Syusuke: he has an older brother that is a genius in tennis and people keep comparing them, belittling Yuuta, never really acknowledge him as anything other than Fuji’s little brother.

And then, I think about Ryoma, who was also obsessed about defeating his father. Ryoma lives in Nanjiro’s shadow in a way that even Yuuta can’t understand. For the longest time, his father was his only goal and Ryoma’s been playing tennis since he could hold a racket. Nanjiro’s famous all around the world, and if anyone knew he and Ryoma were related, they would think that’s why he’s good at tennis, or that Ryoma isn’t good, it’s just Nanjiro’s influence that got him so far, or they wouldn’t stop comparing them.

An example of that: when he went with Sakuno to fix her racket and the guy basically told him to grow up and stop acting like a kid, to be more like Nanjiro and blah-blah-blah, but Ryoma only replied as “I am a kid, I’ll do what I want, I’m not my father”. 

I’m sure Yuuta and Ryoma would bond over that, over always being under their family's shadow, never being acknowledged as good enough by themselves.

By the time they had that match, Ryoma had already understood that his father couldn’t be his only goal. 

Not only that, but Ryoma also reacts to those things in a different way. Yuuta feels hurt, and maybe even a little bit jealous, whenever people talk about him as Fuji’s little brother. 

Ryoma doesn’t feel hurt, he knows his father is a great tennis player (the best), even if he is just so dumb outside of a court. And, above that, he doesn’t feel insecure, like Yuuta does. He feels challenged. Whenever people bring Nanjiro and his relationship with Ryoma, all he hears is “prove me that you are not under your father’s shadow” and he proceeds to do exactly that.

So, when he looked at Yuuta and saw how angry he was, how hard he tried, Ryoma decided to be the one to show Yuuta that his brother shouldn’t be his only goal either (“You only want to be as good as your brother, I want to be the best”). 

Even if he’s the youngest, Ryoma would be the one that always acknowledged Yuuta for himself, that looks at Yuuta as Yuuta, not Fuji’s little brother and that motivates Yuuta to go higher and higher.

And, of course, Yuuta would return the favor. Because, even if Ryoma acts more maturely than Yuuta when it comes to this (not because he doesn’t get as affected, but because he got used to it, because he’s been exposed to it for longer and because he’s inherently not a jealous person), he can get annoyed occasionally.

In short, Yuuta and Ryoma are besties who bonded over their obsession with defeating family members, and who understand each other deeply.

More Prince of Tennis headcanons (cause I finally found all 179 eps!):

Every once and a while Tezuka will look down at Echizen and go “I would take a bullet for you” and Echizen just responds with “k” every. single. time

The team has given up on getting answers out of Tezuka. They’ve asked him a million times why he says this and every single time he acts like it didn’t happen

Fuji says “it’s like a reflex for him at this point” and that’s the closest thing to an answer the team will ever get

Sometimes when Echizen is being a smug little shit Oishi will just pick him up by his collar and carry him away. Like a mama cat wrangling her baby

I was reminded that Oishi comes from a family of doctors but the idea that he doesn’t know how to use a first aid kit properly makes me laugh

Kaido, Eiji, and Echizen would be the funniest trio ever. Cause I’m just imagining Echizen being an arrogant little shit and pissing someone off

Kaido getting mad at at said person when they get pissed off at Echizen and trying to start a fight with them

And Eiji being dramatic as fuck (cause you know… youngest child) and yelling shit like “yeah Kaido fuck him up he made chibi cry” while Echizen is trying to make himself cry on command

Honestly I’m kind of convinced that Inui’s drinks have made the team immortal. It would honestly be the least surprising plot twist of the whole series if Inui said “I’ve made us Devine beings”

I think they also wouldn’t be surprised I think they would all have the same reaction that’s something along the lines of “with all the hell you put us through the next one better give me fucking super powers”

Now like the queer bitch I am I will bring sexuality into this

I think Echizen is aroace or demi. I’ve been watching this little brats dumpster fire of a love life for 100 episodes and I can safely say I don’t think he wants or needs one

Tezuka: that’s a pansexual man if I’ve ever seen one. I just have a feeling that he wouldn’t be tripped up by things like gender

Fuji: demi I don’t know I just have a guttural feeling like you have to reach level 100 of friendship for Fuji to even think about looking at you romantically

Eiji: bisexual when this bitch showed up on screen doing his little flips and tricks I was like “that is a raging bisexual” just something about doing the most in something as simple as tennis gives of bi energy

Oishi also pansexual like Tezuka I feel like he wouldn’t really care about gender if he thinks they’re cute the he thinks they’re cute you know?

Momo another raging bisexual emphasis on the raging. He’s gotten into actually fights with people about his sexuality

The team has had to pull him off of people while he kicks and screams

The whole team secretly thought it was hilarious but they still had to “scold” him afterwards just to keep up appearances

Kaido also gives me demi vibes I don’t really know how to explain it other than it fits him

Inui is demi and ace this man will fall for one person and will stay in love until they do something irredeemable

Kawamura I can’t really tell if he’s 100% gay or 100% straight but something tells me it’s one of the two. Cause I can’t really picture anything else

Also coach Ryuzaki is a lesbian. Does she have a granddaughter? Yeah. Does that prove anything? No

I also can’t imagine anyone on the team being neurotypical like something tells me they’ve all gotten an adhd or autism diagnosis at one point in their life

Am I just projecting at this point? Absolutely. Can you stop me? NEVER!

You know that one tiktok audio that goes “we’ve both got autism haven’t we?” “Yeah” “well that’s good to know”

That’s Seigaku’s dynamic and a nutshell and I love it

I need Shiraishi to give me a third dose ngl

As a Seigaku person, I feel really uncomfortable about this.

As a Rikkai person, I’m just thinking about all the possibilities.

People say Charles was like “I can fix him” with Erik when he first looked into his mind but I respectfully disagree;

Charles didn’t look at Erik and see something that needed to be fixed, because Erik wasn’t broken. Charles looked in Erik’s mind and saw a man that was full of grief and pain, and forgot that what love felt like, but he had a core to him that overflowed with so much love

Charles saw a man who loved with every facet of his being and yet thought he was an unlovable, unfeeling monster himself. Charles saw a man who dedicated his life to the love he felt for his mother and his people in the only way he knew how. Charles saw a man determined to protect, a man who was willing to die to bring his mother’s spirit peace.

Charles saw everything Erik was and could be.

Charles took one look into Erik’s mind and said:

“I can love him.”
