So you wanna say that RinHaru is a "tOxiC" ship...

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

It's 2021, humanity has survived a freakin pandemic and people are still out here calling RinHaru 'tOxiC!!1!'?? Like with their full chests??

Imagine HOW TIRED—

Random blog post:

Also random blog post:

In at number one we have RinHaru, also known as Sharkbait. Everything Free! began and ended with these two. The entire first season is about their relationship, and the final fight in the Eternal Summer Special is between them. RinHaru may not have the years of friendship that MakoHaru and SouRin have behind them - but that’s what makes them such an amazing pairing. Within just a short few months in the last term of their last year of elementary school, Rin and Haru became an unforgettable presence in each other’s lives.

(Come on, you know points were made 😉).

But then ofc, you got people crying in the comments that their ship isn't No.1. Which okay, I totally get that you'd feel your ship should be at the top even though the article is just someone's personal opinion...and they didn't even attack your ship; if anything, they put it at No.2 and only had lovely things to say about it, but seriously?? Calling RinHaru toxic?? In the year of our lord 2021???

Aren't y'all exhausted with your own selves by now? I know the rest of us are.

And so, I'm sharing my response to those comments here, for although I have much more organized and polished essays on my drafts on how RinHaru Is NOT Toxic, I really had to just get these points out for now:

Claiming something to be true doesn't make it true, especially when it's driven by an emotional attachment to an opposing ship.

None of the relationships in Free are toxic except for Ikuya x Hiyori, ugh, especially RinHaru, since this is the one haters love to ignorantly throw the "toxic" label on. The entire series wouldn't revolve around Haru and Rin's relationship if that were the case (and Utsumi, the director, comes out and says that Free! is Haru and Rin's story).

The staff, director, VAs all have POSITIVE and lovely things to say about Haru and Rin's friendship. Utsumi said in the RinHaru Mook interview that Rin was the only one who could do what he did in helping Haru realize his dream in S2. In Ep4 of Take Your Marks, Haru himself literally tells Rin that he is the reason Haru was even able to move towards the future. This is all CANON, not headcanon, not fanon, but actual canon material directly from the words of the Free! staffa and anime.

Explain to me how RinHaru is "tOxiC"?? Because they've argued? Because Rin unknowingly and unintentionally hurt Haru when he only once ever told him he'd never have to swim with him again?? Because Rin was suffering with depression (as Utsumi herself said) throughout Season 1 and sometimes showed symptoms of his depression? Because Rin kicked a trashcan out of frustration in S1E12????

Hahaha like seriously, it's okay if you strongly dislike RinHaru as a ship, but calling it "tOxiC" is such a pathetic stretch as a hater. Especially when doing so, you undermine actual toxic relationships and the victims who live through them.

The entire Free! franchise has multiple movies, 2.5 whole seasons and even a 4-episode film that shows Rin being one of the most supportive, sweet, caring and motivating characters on the show. He drives Haru to constantly improve at swimming, was the only one who was able to breakthrough to Haru in Season 2 about Haru's future dream the way he did (again, as Utsumi herself said), is the reason Haru attributes to being able to step towards the future, is a "dear friend" to Haru whom Haru cares a whole lot about and, as Season 1 shows us, strongly wants in his life.

But I guess none of this exists for antis—nope, in their own 2013-stuck worlds, RiNhArU iZ dA tOxiC sHiP.

(But hey, at least the commenter agreed in a follow-up comment that their claim is "dry, unoriginal ignorant and completely-undermining-to-ACTUAL-toxic-relationship"—acceptance is one of the first steps to recovery :))

#i'm so TIRED and FED UP with people undermining ACTUAL TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS by calling RinHaru tOxiC just because they have a different ship #i broke my haitus to post this #because i can't NOT say something #free! iwatobi swim club #rinharu #rinharu defense squad #rin matsuoka defense squad #don't even try to fight me on this #free!#haruka nanase #rin matsuoka #harurin #seriously get a life people #i've been in a toxic relationship and so have some of my loved ones and NO RinHaru IS NOT TOXIC #it actually disgusts me that people throw that label around for ship wars like grow tf up #oh and please take notes of how i never once hated on any other ship or character #except for hiyori and hiyoiku 🤢#i promise i really tried giving hiyori a chance the few times over and i just can't with him still #anti hiyoiku #would this be considered meta?#free! meta #meta #really it's just me venting but with solid FACTS #free!dom venting #venting #small rant

My Top Posts in 2021

Really trying to wring some serotonin out of my horrible brain and it is not working.

My husband got his dream job. Everything we've done, every choice for the last like... 16 years has been working towards this. We're moving back to our favorite city. We still have friends there. We're closer to family. There are so many opportunities for our kid.

And it just all feels like a trap. I cried happy tears like I haven't since my freaking wedding day. (No offense to my kid, the I'm a mom tears were different and totally wrapped up in complicated birth feelings and hormones.) But housing is a mess. HR is totally fucked and he probably won't get his first paycheck until the freaking end of September. He had to go and I'm packing the house up by myself. (Kid is great, but they are a young teen and in full eye-rolling omg I do everything around here yelling when asked to do 1 whole thing mode and I can't really rely on them. They've got their own things going on with school and pandemic.) And I've got to leave my job, which I freaking love so much but it's so niche in a competitive market that there's no way I'll get anything like it again. And my coworkers are the best. And I finally made friends here and I adore them.

What should be an absolute victory just fucking hurts so very much right at this moment. The worst part is I can't say any of this to my husband because I don't want him to feel at all bad. He shouldn't! This isn't me being the trailing spouse, as we're called in academia; I absolutely chose this and want this. He will blame himself and feel guilty and take way more responsibility for my feelings than he ought to. I'll be fine when this shit part is over. Just have to get to that point.

Alright Tumblr! I need to know where to buy a Bi pride flag and a Demigirl flag! Our local Pride celebration was pretty small, and while we saw plenty of people there *with* flags, we didn't see anyone selling them, so my kid had to make do with facepaint when they really wanted a flag cape. I'd like to avoid Amazon for this, and double points if I can support an LGBTQIA+ creator.

the crashing of the waves falling from their shoulders as they rise from the ocean and turn to their gaze to you, back muscled and straight, skin glistening, a rumbling demand: "buy me 40 red lobster cheesy biscuits, mortal." thunders across the rainy sky--how could you refuse? you like a boisterous and exciting date, but most importantly, someone who dwarfs you in height. you could probably be picked up by this monster and be perfectly happy with it. get ready to dive into some rough waters ;)

Cleaning Accountability/Done List Post

Okay so really it's more about cleansing in the magic sense? But that does start with cleaning. IDK. I feel like we've been butting heads with our house for a while. We're starting our third year here and we love it but it doesn't always feel like it loves us back. So cleansing bad energy and making space for good. But also just fucking cleaning up because how can the house be happy if the kitchen floor needs mopping?

Shit that needs done today: Dishes need doing Floors need sweeping and mopping (1812 is currently running, so that's a start. I'll go along and sweep up any bits he misses and then mop.) Windows and mirrors need cleaning All the trash needs to go out Laundry needs to be folded and put away.

I am going to be doing the UFYH 20/10s or maybe 30/15s. Otherwise I will just wipe myself out and that won't help anything. I'm getting really burnt out at work and I'd hoped to get some serious recovery in for my day off. Oh well. My space will be cleaner and that will help my mental state, even if I'm still physically tired. (Starting to think I'm just always gonna be physically tired.)

Once the mundane clean is done, I'll hit the magical. I'm staying away from smoke involved stuff because my lungs are crap and also fire has been an issue in this house (last renters did a good bit of fire damage), so it just seems like not a great peace overture to make. Need to figure out what exactly I'm doing. New moon is Friday, so I'd like to have it worked out by then.

Life and the Locked Tomb

Spoilers for Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth

H'okay so I've been listening to the audiobooks for months, swapping off between them. And there are a LOT of things that have stuck out at me, but one of the biggest is the repetition of giving up your life.

At the beginning of Gideon the Ninth, Gideon tells Aiglamene, "I gave her my whole life." as she unsheathes her blade for the fight with Harrow. which is fascinating to me, because on the indentured servant front, no she didn't. She was raised by the Ninth. She's spent her whole life trying to run away from the Ninth. That doesn't sound a whole lot like giving her life to Harrow.

But then later, when she is literally giving her life to Harrow during the second challenge in the facility, Cytherea!Dulcinea says (bolding mine), "Gideon, Gideon... you're so young. Don't give yourself away. Do you know, it's not worth it ... none of this is worth it, at all. It's cruel. It's so cruel. You are so young--and vital--and alive. Gideon, you're all right ... remember this, and don't let anyone do it to you ever again. I'm sorry. We take so much. I'm so sorry." It hits very different when you know it's a Lyctor speaking. Cytherea knows what's possibly coming.

And of course in the epilogue, Harrow throws herself before the Emperor and says, "I will never ask anything of you, ever again, if you just give me back the life of Gideon Nav." Which of course he can't, because Harrow so irrefutably *has* Gideon's life that it can't be withdrawn from her.

So I need to go through Harrow a little more closely, but of course there's the iconic bit when Gideon breaks through, "I gave you my whole life and you didn't even want it." A perfect echo of that first time in GtN. Gideon gave and gave and gave herself to Harrow. And of course Harrow wanted her. The first thing she did was ask the Emperor for it. The tragedy to Harrow was that she completely and totally *had* it. But Gideon didn't know that, and I don't know that she could bring herself to believe it if she would have. In a book about death, of course we have a lot touching on the value of life.

Isaiah 8:1-9:21, 2 Cor 12:1-10, Ps 55:1-23, Pr 23:4-5

Today is the 11th day of September welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is a joy to be here with you today as we bring another week and our adventure through the Scriptures to a conclusion. And we are working through the book of Isaiah at this point in the Old Testament. Today we’ll read Isaiah chapters 8 and 9.

Prayer:

Father, we thank you for your word and we thank you for all of the different complexions and nuances that we get to encounter, all the personalities, all of the families, all of the geography and history, all of it coming together to shape and form us. And, so, as we continue through our journey in the days ahead through Isaiah, second Corinthians, and Psalms and Proverbs, every day there is something for us. Some days we search because you've hidden it like treasure for us to find. Someday it's sitting there like a nicely wrapped gift just waiting for us to open and insight pours into our hearts, giving us clarity and direction for the choices that are facing us. And we are so grateful for your kindness, the kind gift of the Scriptures, the kind gift of your Holy Spirit's guidance in our lives. And, so, come Holy Spirit and lead us forward, we pray. In the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hello, my sweet DAB family this is Ashley from California, and we live in a scary time right now. There is so much turmoil and scariness going on. And I just wanted to share with you all something I stumbled upon and it’s talking about the simple secret of trusting God and it’s talking about how to do that and how you learn to trust somebody is by spending time with them. And the way that we spend time with God is spending time in His word, listening to His voice, praying listening to worship and fellowship with other believers. And, you know, I just want to tell you that the DAB does that for us. We’re able to spend time with God in his word through listening to it, we pray with each other in community and on our own volition and then we get to worship God through these acts that we're doing. So, I just wanted to let you know that we can live on the promises and not on explanations through this time that we spend together each day. And, so, we can trust things like when Jesus says do not be overcome by the world, but he's overcome the world and we will have the victory. So, even though it's scary right now everybody just keep chasing God. Choose to chase after Him and spend time with Him and get to know Him and listen for Him and pay attention to His presence. Alright y'all. I love you and have a great rest of your day. I am praying for you. Bye.

Hi DAB family this is Charlene from Akron OH. I had asked for prayer on the prayer wall back on April 25th I think it was due to my mom being admitted to the hospital. But anyway, she had passed on April 30th and I just never called to give an update and a lot of it was there was just so much I wanted to share but I had to narrow it down. There were so many God moments that were they’re at that time. There was the day before she was admitted to the hospital her last Facebook post had read when we draw the last breath only one thing will matter that our name is written the lambs book of life. Another thing that had happened to was us receiving thank you cards all at different times that she had sent out also the day before she was admitted to the hospital. And in a time when only my dad was allowed to see her we all knew different medical staff members from EEG tech to MI tech to nurse practitioner and the ICU doctor. And to know one of them would have been a miracle but to know four different people was just really comforting. And while we were making funeral…funeral arrangements my brother had remembered that she loved Psalm 91. And we decided to use that to represent her life. And when we came home to my parent’s house the Bible that she keeps open on the foyer table was open to Psalm 91. It's been four months now. My dad is just struggling even though he knows it was meant to be. He's lost 22 pounds since then and he just said even though he enjoys our company I know he feels a lot of emptiness. Just please continue to lift my dad up in prayer as he is…as we are all grieving this loss. Thank you so much.

Hello, my name is Imani Norman I'm 26 years old. I'm just coming on here. I'm new to this I've never done this before, but I'm just coming on here because I would like to have some prayers said for me. I'm going through financial hardship and the financial hardship that I'm going through is causing me to be delayed with like school and all of those things. It's…yeah…it's like keeping me from a lot of things. And I'm not gonna lie, I've been a little bit sad about it. So, I just need some uplifting, some good prayers. I've been saying prayers too and talking to God. I just need a little more strength because this has been really, really hard. And I'm not sure what else I can do. It's out of my control so I'm leaving it up to God. But if you can…if you can see a prayer for me that would be awesome. Thank you.

I wanted to call in for the little girl who…or the little child who called in asking for prayer because they were afraid but they didn't want to be. Our father in heaven Lord we've all been in places like this where we’re afraid and we don't know what to do. Lord I ask that you would remind this child of your word in the psalms, when I'm afraid I will trust in you. I ask that you would give us all the strength to do that especially this child right now in Jesus’ name I ask. Amen. I hope you're encouraged by this prayer. And trust the Lord with all of your heart and don't lean on your own understanding and that goes for me too.

Hi daily audio Bible this is Andy from Birmingham I wanted to share a quick verse which is Colossians 2:79. Have you roots planted deep in Christ. Grow in Him. Get your strength from Him. Let Him make you strong in the faith as you have been taught. Your life should be full of thanks to Him. And I've been thinking about that today because I've been digging up plant roots and these really strong plant roots are so hard that she broke two of my forks. It took me the whole day but they were really small plants so I said it doesn't make sense, but the roots are so strong. So, I guess I felt like just calling in saying that maybe there's someone out there that needs to hear that about these strong roots that can't, you know, when, you know, think about when our lives we’re under attack, if you’ve got your strong roots in Christ then that's…that's important. And again, in another version it says let your roots grow down into Him and let your lives be built on Him then your faith will be strong the truth we are taught and everything with thankfulness. Si, I hope that's a blessing to someone today.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi DAB family this is Kathleen formerly Mt. Zion IL. I've got a new name coming that I will…I've never taken like a name outside of my name, but I think I finally have something. So, I will share that later but anyway I wanted to pray today for Chane, I believe you said. I'm not sure if you said Chanel or Chane but you're from South Africa. And I just wanted to…you just touched me because it sounds like you…you're either still a student, maybe high school, college I'm not sure but you said that you were…your parents had moved, and they don't seem to understand what you're going through with your loneliness and all. And I just wanted to tell you, you know, I was a high school teacher for 20 years and I often tell kids that, you know, a lot of the struggles they have with their parents is part of the separation process. I mean you…you become your own person. You know, someday you will be out of their house, and you will have to find your way. So…but I wanted to pray for you during this time because I know that. I have also…I'm also somebody who has moved many, many times and that horrible loneliness that you first feel. I mean I’m feeling it right now. We moved to another town, and I no longer have my job and I've…there's just…yeah…there's loneliness that really comes with that. But I've…I'm kind of a loner anyway. So, I…it doesn't hit me maybe as hard as it does some other people. But I just…I want you to know I'm praying for you Chane. Lord Jesus…in fact I'm just going to pray right now. Lord Jesus I lift up Chane to You and just pray that You will let her see You and that You will bring her peace and joy. Amen.

Hi, I'm calling in today because I…I am beginning a new chapter in my life in a couple of short months, but I am gonna have to leave a lot of things behind. I'm going to college and as excited as I am for the journey and to move on with my future and start building it, I'm really nervous. I've never been away from home. I've never really been on my own and I'm just unsure what's going to happen. I've been having a lot of anxiety lately and a lot of it's because, obviously, I'm going to miss my parents being at home every day, but it's going to be really hard for me to leave my boyfriend that I've had for over a year now in high school. A lot of people say it's just puppy love but it's very hard for me because as much as I do trust God and what His journey has from me, I would love if it was this guy in my life. And I see him in my life. But this journey is just going to be very hard, and I don't know what it's going to do to us. And I trust in God. I…I'm just looking for a prayer to help ease my nerves and truly believe that this process will be OK.

Hello Daily Audio Bible family this is Candace from Oregon. Please know that I'm praying for you each one as your calling in requests. And I want to share with you something the Holy Spirit has said to me over…many times over the last five years. And I think He is saying this to many of you as well. No groveling, no apologizing…apologies for who you are in Christ. Take the higher ground and bring others with you. [singing starts] Lord lift us up and let us stand by faith on heaven's table land. A higher plane then I have found Lord plant my feet on higher ground [singing stops]. The brother who called who…who has been through a divorce and…and…and an abandonment through adultery. I just wanted to say when your body tells you you need a lot of sleep you probably do need a lot of sleep. You're recovering from a lot. So be patient and sleep a lot and just do really good self care. Spend your time with your eyes focused on the Lord who loves you so dearly.

Hey guys it's Sparky from Texas I just ask this group that you guys keep me in your prayers. And it's been a rough day. My ex-wife wants to move a long way away with my boys. And she's done that before, and it became a legal battle. And I just pray that y'all could stop that from happening and to help me be like Christ. I'm trying so hard not to…to react in anger. And I know Jesus wept and I've been weeping. And I know the power of this community and I just ask for prayer. It's not a big thing to a lot of people, but I just love my kids and we've been through this. And, anyway I just wanted to give that to you all because you all are the most powerful people in the world and I love you all and be blessed.

Deuteronomy 23:1-25:19, Luke 10:13-37, Psalms 75:1-10, Proverbs 12:12-14

Today is the 3rd day of April welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is a joy to be here with you as we bring to a close of another week together, even as we begin a new month. It seems there’s like transitions happening all the time. And of course, we find ourselves right in the middle of a transition. This is Holy Saturday, and this is between Good Friday and Easter, right? So, this tension in between which is where we live so much of our lives. But this is this is a weird day, this day in between. It's…it's supposed to be, because Jesus, if we’re commemorating and observing this than we would understand that Jesus died yesterday. Like we observed and commemorated His death, which means that today He's dead. His body is lying in a tomb and it's been a lot of hours now. And even though His body was ravaged and what happened to him unthinkable He would've been cold. His body would’ve been cold lying in the tomb. And that…we don't want to think about any of that. It seems disruptive and uncomfortable because it's uncomfortable, because it's supposed to be. We sit in this tension today with just a ray of hope. And thankfully we know tomorrow comes and we know what that represents, and we know that we will rejoice. But if we’re putting ourselves back into the story than we don't know that yet. And that's the tension that we embrace as we move through this, the most important season, toward the most important day. If there's no Easter than we are in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. But thankfully that's not the case. And where in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. And, so, let's reach out our foot and move forward and take the next step in the Scriptures as we continue our journey. We’re reading from the Contemporary English Version this week, which is today. Deuteronomy chapters 23, 24, and 25.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for another week in Your word, another week to allow Your Spirit to plant seeds in the soil of our hearts, another week to tend the garden of our hearts so that we are good soil, another week to look forward to the harvest. We also find ourselves here in the in between, in between death and life really. And this is what we’re contemplating today. We have sat with our sin through a season. We have observed and contemplated the cost and we are still in that tension hoping, hoping that there's some way. Even though we know how this story goes, even…even though we know there is a way and the truth and a life and that is You, Jesus, as we engage with the story that brought us to this moment, this is where we find ourselves in the in between, in the tension, in the place where we have to hope beyond hope. And, so, Holy Spirit come into that as we prepare our hearts for great joy in the morning. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hi Daily Audio Bible my name is Mattie this is my first time calling but I've been on the Prayer Wall and I just appreciate the community here. I just need prayer and community. I am in my final semester of grad school and…and it's been tough because grad school is tough but also because we're in a pandemic and the community and belonging and just kindred spirits that I found in my classes, we aren't connecting the same way, obviously not being able to be together. And I'm not without hope and I'm not without motivation and desire to do a good job and to finish well but also, I am exhausted, and I struggle with depression and…and I'm just not doing how I normally am. And I feel like my normal support group, my normal friends, are in a way kind of doing their own things. So, I really, really, really would love prayer for that and my ability to connect with the Lord in this season of craziness. I recently started a new job and all of it together I just feel like I'm…I'm not going to finish which I am but it's a lot. So, I would appreciate your prayer. Thank you so much I appreciate you Daily Audio Bible family.
