Ok But Why Did Ikuya Had So Much Angst Over Haru When They Only Knew Each Other Very Shortly? And So

ok but why did ikuya had so much angst over haru when they only knew each other very shortly? and so dramatic over makoharu leaving the club if he was desperate he could've gone to him in school before he moved away. the whole drama is really forced when you think about it logically and what's the point in high speed characters returning if they only focused on ikuya and his creepy sidey

It’s all Haru’s fault, cause he’s fucking magical. Have you seen Albert being happy af watching Haru win? And he knows him like.. for a day lol

Tbh I understand this whole “with great talent comes great responsibility”, but there’s a huge difference between admiring/being inspired by Haru and using him as a tool for your own gain. That’s why this whole situation with Ikuya bothers me so much. Cause he didn’t even treat Haru as a human being. He made him feel guilty for nothing, he didn’t let him apologize (for what, I don’t get), and the worst part was when they showed that he knew that Hiyori treated Haru like trash and Ikuya was okay with it (cause aparently we deserved it).

Do you remember how freaking shocked Rin was when Rei told him that Haru felt guilty cause he thought he hurt him during the swimming? He was like “no, no, no”.

For Rin it even sounded wild, cause he never ever blamed Haru for anything in his life. He is responsible for his own loses, mistakes, etc.

Like poor Haru bc of Hiyori and Ikuya literally thinks of himself as some curse:

And as grateful I was for a support from Asahi, sadly he’s not the right person to make Haru feel better, cause they’re not that close. And it all felt like Haru was alone this season, cause Asahi and Kisumi can’t really help, Ikuya dropped him right after he got what he wanted, old friends are far away, Makoto doesn’t speak at all, nobody even gave a fuck about how Haru felt after the Albert thing except for Ryuji, but his “it’s your fault, you decided to swim with him” doesn’t really help.

I mean, that’s one of the million reasons why I love Rinharu so much, cause Rin came and immediately said all the fucking right things without even stuttering. Like Haru went about how Albert made him feel bad during swimming, Rin counterattacked with the fact that swimming with Haru for him is what keeps him alive. Haru lost the race cause he was thinking too much, Rin went about how everything they’ve been through made them who they are and that Haru should just let himself go and enjoy it. He was with him for a 3 episodes, but it felt like Haru took a breath for a first time during the whole season.

But the saddest part that everytime Rin says something nice, Haru makes this fucking surprised face like he thinks that it’s adressed to somebody else. He’s like “WHOOO? MEEE? You’re talking about me?”

Cause sometimes everyone else says such things that he doesn’t want to hear. Cause, he’s not a dancing monkey to show him off:

And he’s not a tool for you to prove yourself, and it’s definitely not for them to decide what he wants to do with his talent, it’s not his “duty” to swim.

And no wonder Haru didn’t get the whole “being Ikuya’s hero” speech. Ikuya doesn’t even know him as a person. So this whole speech doesn’t worth shit to be honest at the end. Because Haru never wanted to be anyone’s idol. He wants to be loved for who he is.

I’m just tired of all of this hardcore pressure. I mean, only one decided to go like “you’re very pretty, the world is pretty, we can try, what do we have to lose? and if you don’t like it, fuck it, then.”

And Haru doesn’t have to be responsible for someone’s life, Ikuya. That’s why you look so pathetic compared to literally everyone. Stay with Hiyori, dude’s whole life revolves around you, like you want, but Haru and Rin are too much of an adults for you.

Like maybe this whole Ikuya story wouldn’t be so laughable (it still would, who am I kidding) if we didn’t have first two seasons, but we do, and his character looks so damn awful because of that, I don’t know what can help here to be honest.
