The way Giyuu screamed Tanjirou's name... he cares about him so, so much.

kita shinsuke: the modern-day philosopher
one of my favorite things about haikyuu is how realistic the story is and how the messages can be applied to everyone. kita was one of the characters i felt impacted by. of course, many of the characters before kita's introduction impacted me, but kita's philosophy deeply affected me.
kita is a character who played the sport diligently but wasn't in it for the glory. although he was raised by his grandma's words, "someone's always watching," he isn't concerned about being praised by others. being able to do stuff the right way is enough for him. before kita, we've been introduced to many characters who are willing to do anything to win and continue playing volleyball in the future. kita isn't concerned about any of that. playing to the best of his abilities and doing it correctly is more than enough.
the importance of daily maintenance is something i will always think of when i see kita. he takes care of his body, cleans up, respects his traditions, and practices volleyball daily. it's a routine he follows every day without fail. to many, this seems tedious. doing the same thing everyday without a break? without fail? without anything to gain from it? most people wouldn't bother to use as much time and effort as kita does for no desired result. i'm one of the many that find it hard to keep up a routine, especially if it requires so much consistency and effort. but kita does it without complaint, without fail, and finds genuine joy in it.
but even though kita didn't care about people's approval, the moment he was offered the captain's jersey brought him to tears. whether he cared or not, his efforts to improve himself did not go unnoticed. all that time he spent cleaning, taking care of his body, honoring tradition, and practicing volleyball led to this moment. but kita never had a goal in mind. being chosen as captain is a high achievement, but kita didn't join the team to eventually have this honor. he did what he believed was the best thing to do, and being chosen as captain was simply the result of his effort.
this panel changed everything for me. i even used this as my college graduation quote because i have such a heavy attachment to this scene.
kita didn't do all his daily practices to gain anything. he did them because it felt right, doing his best no matter what was more important to him.
i have a habit of always determining my worth based on the results. if i don't get a good enough grade, i see my effort as useless; if i'm not praised for something, then i feel i'm not doing my best; if all my efforts don't give me the results i want, i see my time spent as wasted but reading this scene changed everything for me.
the time you spend bettering yourself is more valuable than a result. after all, the only reason you get a good result in the first place is because of your time and dedication to your work. even though kita was emotional about his hard work being seen and rewarded, his goal wasn't to become captain. at the end of the day, he spent all this time doing things for himself.
the little things I do every day might not be valuable in the grand scheme of things; the time I spend dedicating myself to anything makes me who I am. the small, everyday things make us who we are. we care for our bodies, study or work, unwind, and prepare meals for ourselves. It doesn't lead to anything extraordinary, but it does matter. it matters because it's who we are. every little thing we do is a part of us, and the good or bad things that come with it are simply the results of what we decide to do.
kita's philosophy of doing things right because it's the right thing to do is simple, yet it's one of the lessons of haikyuu that has stuck with me the longest. we, as people, believe we need to produce results that have meaning to us, but devoting ourselves to daily tasks is essential to who we are as people and how we live our lives. we do the things we do because they are necessary, and the outcomes that follow are just byproducts.
kita is such an important character to me, and I wish this rant could do him some justice. all in all, kita shinsuke, you are the greatest philosopher of our time.

demon slayer s4 ep8
this episode was absolutely incredible i just had to come and write about it. the entire season, in my opinion, has been so well done. hashira training arc has always been a favorite of mine and seeing it brought to life has been amazing!
episode 8 was the icing on the cake to an amazing season. one of my favorite things about kny is how it discusses humanity and mortality. this final ep did such a great job at showing the power of human emotions.
kagaya stands amongst the many demon slayer corp members who have passed while he speaks to muzan about the concept of eternity. as we all know, humans don't live forever and this is very prominent in demon slayer. however, kagaya understands how powerful feelings can be. although many people will die, their dreams and hopes will continue. kagaya does not fear death because he understands his goal will live through the hashira.
this LINE is one of my favorites ever. for as long as muzan has existed, not one person has forgiven him for what he has done. the anger and grief that people have felt live forever. muzan believes humans are disgusting, inferior creatures but at this moment, kagaya shows that humans are something to be feared. muzan can never understand the lifelong anger humans are capable of. not one person will ever forget what muzan has done, they will never forgive him, they will never show him kindness. humans have used their anger & hatred to dedicate themselves to ending muzan. muzan will never understand this concept. all of these lanterns represent the lives muzan has ruined, falling down all around him while he stands unbothered. there are HUNDREDS of lanterns that float around muzan, so many lives that he has ruined, yet he does not care. but that doesn't matter, because the power of feelings are greater than muzan's indifference. THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN MUZAN.
the art in this scene was insane. the tiger and the dragon morphing into the hashira was done so well. for so long, kagaya has waited for this moment to take down muzan and we see in this scene how the goals and feelings of the hashira have formed into a beast of its own. despite muzan living for so long, he can never comprehend the power of human emotions. as i said before, human emotions have the ability to transcend time. humans affect one another; they understand their lives are short, yet live to pursue their own goals no matter what. this is what muzan does not understand.
this scene was so well done i can't get enough of it. this was such a great episode and is definitely my favorite one so far! the manga was already amazing and then ufotable was able to animate it into this insane piece of media i can't get over it!!
overall 10/10 scene. 10/10 episode. i love demon slayer.
Hak and Soowon's relationship is so important to me. The yearning , the angst , the betrayal yet the way they still care so much about each other even when they deny that. Hak and Soowon both play a major part in each other's life. They are both each other's goals and they influence each other's thoughts and actions so much. They cannot get each other out of their heads no matter how much they try to.
my first ramble here is going to be about akayona who’s surprised but anyways i feel like the story for it is extremely well done and all the characters are written extremely well and how all of the dragons, yona, yoon, and hak care for each other means so much to me found family has always been one of my favorites for the longest time bc you see these group of people all from different backgrounds and stuff come together and learn to love and care for each other and would do anything for them and the way the dragons care for yona means the world to me and each of their dynamics with yona are amazing and all are different from each i could ramble about how each of the dragons mean to me but idk if anyone would want to read that anyways i need my found family happy at the end of this or i fear i may not make it i love them dearly
it’s our turn to make you smile
this breaks my heart. he was just a kid who wanted to make his dad proud :(
Imagine waking up after a 3-year coma, in an unfamiliar place full of unfamiliar people, your body has completely changed, your voice changed, and all you can remember is the vivid memory of your family and the devastating events that occurred. He might’ve evolved physically, he is a teenager now, but the voice in his head is still the one of a child, Touya didn’t grow up mentally yet. The first thing Touya thought about was his family, how he felt like he wronged them and the terrible things he said, he wanted to apologise to them, he wanted to see dad again, he wanted to show him everything because his dad never made it to Sekoto peak. He was confused, scared, worried and these creepy strangers telling him that he can’t leave, that this is his new family, and he doesn’t know for what intentions he was brought here. Touya thinking of excuses as to why his dad hasn’t come to visit him, there must be a reason, and he tries to be understanding, because he cannot yet accept the harsh truth.
Rip my heart apart now will you? 🫠
retro haikyuu!! 🧡🏐✨
He's still the same smiley boy🥺
“Tomioka!”

F1 AU timeskip
kageyama drives for ferrari now
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).
How Bokuto got through college is beyond me, but I’d still like to think he did His Very Best ™️
FAWWWWWWKKKKKKK

losing my mind this is so cute
hyping up your kouhai at his part-time job
i'd like to think that the reason why the fanbook emphasizes zeno's ability to cook vegetable soup well is because zeno used to make it for kaya when they were together
the thought was somewhat inspired by this panel. i'm not even sure if they were having vegetable soup here but my headcanon is that zeno took over and made sure that their food was cooked properly after this lol
BYE💔💔💔💔💔💔
despite everything, it’s still you.
