Akaashi’s Characterization

akaashi’s characterization

the contrast between akaashi’s actual canonical personality in 2020 vs the personality created by the fandom for him back in like 2015 (e.g. just being cold/calm/ethereal) really gets me.

just based on the mujinazaka match, we find that his “cool and collected” personality is just a facade that he’s actively putting in effort to uphold. in reality he’s a mess of overthinking, low self esteem, and speaking in long ass metaphors no one really understands.

canonically akaashi is actually just an anxious dweeb who likes to write, owns a shirt with the word “setter” over a picture of an irish setter dog, and eats a fuckton of rice balls. also, speaking as an anxious person, the mujinazaka match chapters themselves were oddly comforting. especially watching the way akaashi picked himself back up after his breakdown using “task focus.” also bokuto being super emotionally intelligent, with quotes like “giving your 100% is not something everyone can do.” and asking “are you reflecting on the game or regretting things?” after the match, was just so nice to see.

pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors

so now it’s like ‘the point of doing them is to get good at them’ and not ‘this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives’.

if you relate to having an idea for a story for 4 to 8 years with almost zero progress towards actually writing it down, clap your hands

After this chapter I feel like I made a terrible mistake by changing my main favorite ship from Touken to Mutsurie. It’s like I abandoned a ship safely heading to its destination so that I can sink with Titanic.
