the thing is i'll never get over the way hurley tells kate about sawyer and juliet. the "who couldn't see that coming" comment sends me into a rage because what do you know about them anymore!!! and sorry no their relationship was not inevitable and paints it like it's just because they were left behind together. but they have a whole life together!! it does such a disservice to their character growth and their relationship to pretend that it's less than it is. the post lafleur episodes are sooo hard to watch sometimes the way the writers undermine sawyer and juliet when they built the emotional arc of the finale around them. even if i forgive them for the love triange (i do not) that doesn't mean they had to spend more time lessening the importance of sawyer's relationship with juliet in comparison to his relationship with kate. we already had 4 seasons of him and kate!!!

see the thing that gets me about the nekoma v. nohebi match is that when naoi is helping yaku on the side of the court, he tells him, "shibayama may look weak, but he's strong" to try and reassure him and yaku just goes, "i know. it's not him i'm worried about" in response

and whenever i read that i'm just like "!!!" because yaku never doubted shibayama! yaku ALWAYS believed in him, even when shibayama didn't believe in himself! yaku trusted that he would carry! what the fuck was naoi even on! why would he say that in the first place! yaku is presumably the one who spent the most time with shibayama, training him and helping him and teaching him to grow! to connect! to become part of the team! that's YAKU'S number one pupil! how could yaku not have any faith in him? how could yaku think, even for a second, that shibayama wouldn't pull through?

also, his admission that it was lev he was worried about? which, yeah, i'm pretty sure all of us already knew — if anyone was going to be a weak link, it would be the cocky overconfident first-year brat who talked hot shit without anything to show for it. (and i'm saying this as someone who loves lev a lot, mind you.)

but what worried yaku the most was that lev didn't understand 'connection'. and while yaku could more than make up for it with his own skill, it's crazy to think that lev didn't understand it while yaku, of all people, was on the court. lev didn't understand until shibayama stepped in! and that's the crazier part: yaku couldn't connect with lev, but shibayama did. yaku and lev worked fine, yeah, but that wasn't what lev needed to understand. and that's okay! sometimes all it takes is the right person with the right words, and everything falls into place. and i think that's an absolutely brilliant and incredibly lovely lesson on how connection is also about finding the different ways to make puzzle pieces fit instead of sanding down their edges, because everyone is different and that should be something we are all understanding of!!!!

Okay I finished this book and …i understand it is not for everyone but I absolutely loved it. I adored the main character and the way the author wrote him. I didn’t know what to expect but I’m happy I gave it a try

I’m not saying I get 10x gayer every time I watch andy slaying all those soldiers single-handedly in that church... no actually that’s exactly what I’m saying
