Oh Hinata Shoyo You Are So Peak

my current favorite ships at the moment!

kagehina

this ship is my number one favorite ship of ALL TIME. their relationship is so beautifully written. from shoyo and tobio not having a team to creating a lifelong rivalry that will last forever. i talk about them so often, and i don't see that stopping anytime soon. the love i have for them knows no bounds; i genuinely believe they are soulmates. the bond they share, their growth, and the overall relationship between them is perfection. i really don't think there's another ship like them for me!

shimamitsu

they have grown on me SO MUCH this year. not only is skip and loafer one of my favorite pieces of media ever, shima & mitsumi's relationship is one of the best things ever to me. whether they are together romantically or platonically, there's no denying that these two characters mean so much to one another. they impact each other, they make each other so happy, and in turn, it makes ME happy!! i am just so in love with this ship. whenever i see them together, i just start to smile so big!!

hakyona

they are so nostalgic for me & finally reading akayona and seeing them become even more special to each other was just amazing. my favorite shoujo couple ever. they just love each other so profoundly & would do anything to protect their other half. i can’t get enough of them! hakyona is so beautifully written, and i could not imagine a more perfect example of peak shoujo slow burn.

killugon

i recently watched hunter x hunter this year, and i have been infected with the killugon virus. they grew on me so much in such a short amount of time. watching gon and killua become so close and special to each other was so amazing to see. there's no denying that killugon means the world to each other. they are written so beautifully. discovering killugon was the highlight of this year for me. THEY ARE JUST SO SWEET AND MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

cheolmiae

recently read aslfua this year & when i say im OBSESSED!!!!! this is such a perfect slowburn & if you know me, you know i LOVEEEE a slowburn. such a cute ship, first love type of thing. friends to lovers. awkward & silly. they are so comforting to me. such a well done manhwa full of love and friendship. just perfect.

edwin

SLOWBURN EXCELLENCE!!!!! CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS!!!! she was there for him in his worst times. HE VOWED TO NEVER MAKE HER CRY AGAIN. THEY GREW TOGETHER. THEY DID EVERYTHING TO HELP EACH OTHER. they are so perfect!!!!! i just can't explain to you how much they mean to me!!!

bakudeku

i will be honest, bakudeku was not a fav of mine when i first got into mha but after i finally read the manga for the first time, i can now say i am on the bakudeku train. katsuki and izuku are both favorite characters of mine, and they were written so well as individuals and as a ship. they mean so much to each other. they serve as fuel to accomplish their goals, as a friend they can count on, and as a duo that can take on the world. bakudeku is very special to me!!!

kyoru

i find them so warm and gentle. tohru was finally able to be vulnerable with kyo and kyo finally knows what it's like to be loved. they went through so much as kids, and i just love knowing that they will always have each other no matter what. they are my favorite part of fruits basket!!! just such a beautiful couple!!

koutaba

ao haru ride is SO special to me. it was one of the first shoujos i ever watched, and i recently have been obsessed with them. kou is such an amazingly written character, and i love how futaba was the one who "saved" him. they were middle school sweethearts who found their way back to each other. they have so much love for one another, and i'm so happy they got their ending.

ever since i started impel down, nearly every episode has made me cry. especially episode 444, where the admiral tells ace, “this is the last time you’ll see the sky.” then ace just closes his eyes and soaks it all in.

it’s so upsetting knowing how kind & gentle ace is while the government condemns him as a “terrible criminal”. every scene before this arc, ace is seen being sweet, strong, & silly yet now he’s completely defeated. he isn’t meant to be chained up, he’s meant to be traveling the seas enjoying his life of adventure.

while ace is being sent to his death, luffy is doing everything he can to reach him. he nearly died from poison, yet his fighting spirit is still strong. no matter what, luffy isn’t giving up on his big brother. it breaks my heart to see luffy so desperate, but i hope he’s able to see ace before the worst happens.

DON'T FORGET 3.OCT.11

if i didn't write a post about FMAB today, it would have been a travesty.

FMAB is my favorite anime of all time! It's so well-written and impactful. Hiromu Arakawa put so much passion into her work that it could be felt from the first episode. not a day goes by when I don't think about Edward Elric and his journey to save his brother.

characters like Al, Winry, Roy, and Riza all have stories and flaws that make them so loveable and authentic. the cast is full of different personalities, and one of my favorite things about the series is watching the relationships grow with these characters.

the way FMAB goes about grief is so heartbreaking and raw. love, family, forgiveness, perseverance, all of these themes are so beautifully written. i'm happy i decided to watch FMAB earlier this year!! i will always love this story and wish i could go back and watch it for the first time again.

whenever i'm feeling down i find myself going back to my favorite shoujos for comfort. it just feels so nostalgic and comforting!! rewatching all your favorite scenes and even remembering the things you missed is so much fun!! sometimes all you need is some classic romance to make you feel a bit better <33

truth is, I used to dream about boys like you

jjk atla!au with @philosophiums

i LOVE kagehina official art where they eat together. they don’t HAVE to spend their lunchtime together but they CHOOSE too. they train, they practice, and they take the time to make their bodies stronger by eating. it makes me so happy!!!! look at them stuffing their faces!!! you can’t separate them!

for those of you sad that kageyama and hinata end up on different teams post time skip, i have some good news!!! the japanese national team, which they both end up on, doesn’t just compete at the olympics. the national team competes at an array of different championships, most notably the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which is held every year. so whatever team they decide to go play for around the world, they still come back to play together every summer (and also some other times sprinkled throughout the year).

THIS IS PERFECT I LOVE ITAFUSHI

lets just ignore canon for a bit longer
