ooc; i dont get it. why is it so dramatic? lol x'D that gifset with daiki and kuroko.
[ Ohmygod .. .…. .. .. …. so I’m being forced to confront my emotional turmoil over that scene. SUCKS IN A DEEP BREATH .…. so the Teikou arc is painful in general because of the way their growth put them above everyone else and made them who they are in the current timeline. The drastic changes in their views of camaraderie, of team play, of victory, of each other and themselves makes it that much more painful when it’s shown that it wasn’t who they started off as; that their talent was as much of a hindrance in their own personal growth and development as it was a triumph.
Aomine, in particular, hurts me in ways I can’t even properly word not only because he’s my muse and I take every hit to him on a personally emotional level, but because he is my favorite character in the series as a whole. His change was the most drastic out of the MiraGen because something he loved so much, that he was good at, that he used as a basis for personal motivation in his life (like when he told Kuroko that anyone who loved basketball as much as he did couldn’t possibly be a bad person, a useless person) was ultimately the thing that he loathed above everything else. It set him above the rest, moved him to a pinnacle he never wanted, and in turn isolated him from everyone around him before he took matters into his own hands and isolated himself. He has such a pure heart and such a pure love for the game and in that scene, he was relaying to Kuroko the inner turmoil he felt at having bested everyone, at the loneliness he felt in a place where no one even wanted to try and challenge the monster he thought he’d become. His depressive state had already taken a good toll on him by then and as much as it pained him to tell one of the only people he thought he could share the love of basketball with, he did it because he knew it was the truth: that he was at the top and he doesn’t know how to get back to how it was, to how their functionality as light and shadow was, and it broke them both.
Okay, this wasn’t supposed to be that long, but I can’t help but wax poetic when it comes to Aomine .……. .. …. lays down… .. .. . I am not okay. ]
