low key i think to deny Riko's trauma is to deny his narrative importance in the story.

like Riko's trauma related to his father parallels neil's. His concept of brotherhood adds complexity to Andrew and Aaron's relationship. He acts not just as an antagonist but as a foil to other character's relationship to trauma and violence.

to solely view riko through the lense of his actions is to miss the point. He is a character in a story, not a real breathing human being.

#i don't know guys like i though we were having fun here #lets go back to making up literary motifs that are probably nonexistent in a self published book series thats basically a sports manga #i'll start #isn't it nifty that riko was abandoned by his father and then abused and ostracized by his guardian figure in a very similar way to neil #isn't it fun that riko was cast aside by his father for his brother just as andrew was cast aside by his mother for his brother #isnt it fun that aaron kills someone to protect his brother while riko's story ends with his brother killing him #love earned through death in both ways #isnt it fun that riko's hunt to be the best ends with his brother killing him in the same way he essentially 'killed' kevin #by smashing his hand #isnt it fun how riko is just as desperate for love and attention and belonging as everyone else #there is a story in which riko is saved and heals from his past in the same way every other character does #the fun part is that story exists yet it is not the story that is told #like come onnnnn #“riko is evil” #“rikos trauma isnt as bad as *insert character” #“riko did this - riko did that - bluh bluh bluh” #im boreeeeeeddd #gnat be quiet #riko moriyama

oh you hate tgs book inaccurate adaptations? do you want an award? should we throw a party? should we invite robert louis stevenson?

#any time i see posts that r just ppl being haters needlessly it’s like. wii sports resort voice NOBODY ASKED! #like. personal hot take. at this point i don’t care if ppl want a take a century old book thats been in the public domain for decades #and get a lil silly with it. #and i think if u don’t personally like an adaptation just don’t engage w/ it #i don’t understand hate blogging i don’t understand hate watching <3 #i really just despise how one half of this fandom has become so. openly hostile to the other half. self fulfilling prophecy or something. #jekyll and hyde

If Lewis retires before Fernando then I will just deny any idea that Fernando will/could retire

#lewis hamilton #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #the man just keeps fucking going #you know how some old people refuse to spot working #that's Fernando #by logic he should retire soon #but he defies logic #is been 23 years since he started #Lewis had been 16 years #thats a 7 year difference #do you know how absurd that is for sports #especially a top sport where prime is mid late 20s

[highkey-confused]

do we even know how or why Nicky started playing exy

#i was just thinking about how #much of a reach it is to have two twins and a cousin who are ALL good wbough at this sport to play on a college team #but ig with enough practice thats possible #n then I was like. howd nicky even atart playing #i dont think this is mentioned anywhere #like andrew obv started in juvie #i think theres some kind of explanation for aaron #but nicky? #i don’t remember anything #maybe as a way to try and bond with the twins or sth idkkk #aftg #twinyards #nicky hemmick #andrew minyard #aaron minyard

welp, happy birthday to alex ig (his birthday present is logans car)

#i do understand bc (logistically) they have more of a chance for points w alex #if he doesnt tho.. like what was the point #BUT thats so unfair to logan who wasnt the one who made the mistake in the first place #why should logan suffer when the team also fell behind and doesnt have a spare chassis??? #in terms of team and driver morale i do see how this can put a dent on that #most importantly this is just another lesson that this sport is all about money #like imagine they did that w ferrari (either guy).. the uproar would be ASTRONOMICAL??? #australia24 #williams #alex albon #logan sargeant

perpetually pingponging between having competitive dog ambitions and wanting nothing to do with the dog community ever again 🏓

#dogblr #dog sports #anyway i finally got a dt launcher #ive been wanting one since mav was a baby #they arent even that expensive i just was too nervous to ruin my dog #(a dt launcher shoots a blank and launches a toy to teach gundogs how to retrieve and be steady to gunshot) #i am semi confident in my ability to work rory to it without ruining her #if i get it soon i can spend like 6 weeks making her wild about the toy it launches #indoors and in the city #and then once the snow melts it should be simple to introduce the shot #anyway im having field test dreams #but at the same time LOATHE many of the people involved #anyway #thats where im at #i did buy the launcher though so we'll see #semirelated: the person who got top rally brittany this year got huge praise from the breed club president #who refused to acknowledge that mav won it last year #it doesnt matter but it made me so sad #someone on the breed club told me how important it was that i stay involved and i push for change #but they lowkey broke my heart by being so mean about mav #cant handle me at my worst (beautiful perfect out of standard dog) dont deserve me at my best (beautiful perfect in standard dog)

Hot take: Black Friday is the most american hatchetfield musical

#like nerdy prudes must die is very american highschool drama #but it wouldnt be that hard to make it swedish. change out the football for yearly sport competition day #the weird private school that noone want to go to; so they cheat the grades to look better; probably has a mascot #make grace a jehovah's witness or just make the private church in hatchetfield really conservative #shapiro is from malmö (city with the most shootings) or luleå (hardboiled detective stereotype is always a northerner) #and like there you have nerdy prudes must die but swedish. itd be clearly inspired by american high school dramas #but you wouldnt botice thats what it was from the beginning #but black friday: the shoppermania. nuclear weaponry. presidency. weird unknown but known undercover forces. extreme consumerism #are all very american. also the amount of power a president has while still being called a free country is very american #not to mention the entire thing about protecting the free world or whatever was going on in the peip-president scenes #hatchetfield #black friday #is this even gonna show up in the taags with how many i used before these ones?

everytime i watch a new tv show or read a new book set in usa, i just get even more confused how tf the educutional system works

#especially college #what do you mean pre-med? pre-law? #you have to go to college again to gain the actual title????? #why all the majors are four years???? #some majors have more stuff and should take longer #maybe thats why you have to go twice #but it would be more easy to just go once but more than four years #also how do sports works in college????? #why do they exist in the first place? (i mean good for scholarships but what does the school wants to have a sports team) #dont you have major leagues? #and im not even going to start about highschool #(actually yes) #i really dont undestrand how those clubs works #ap classes??? does that mean advanced classes?? #i need a manual of how all of these work #the education system is a lot diferent in my country #education system #tv shows #books #movies #movieblr #bookblr #usa

in a hilarious turn of events my flatmate didn't even know I use any pronouns....

#i thought when she was talking abt how her parents thought i was gonna come out as trans and kept checking my name/pronouns- #that the joke was that im ALREADY trans but in ways they dont know abt.... but nope she genuinely didnt know 🤭 #to be fair. i dont rly let anyone in on my gender business unless we're close enough to be dating or its an anonymous online space #like im legally cis and thats fine. idc abt ppl using my name + she/her bc thats not my gender identity its just AN identity that i use- #to navigate the world without ppl being fucking nosy bc i pass as + am sociopolitically treated as a woman (if butch lol) #to ppl who are friends ill joke that my gender is dyke (true) and to friends whose gender falls on a similar spectrum- #or who are transmasc ill talk a little more honestly abt it bc theyre usually able to understand better than anyone else #other butch dykes w a weird gender going on are the only motherfuckers who actually Get It but theyre hard to come by tbh #to be frank i dont fucking know whats going on w my gender. and i dont rly care enough to do the introspection to figure it out rn #i have so many other problems in my life and im lucky that most of my beef w gender can be solved by presenting butch + binding #and using any pronouns around other queer ppl. its actually incredibly funny to me when ppl she/her me bc its like tch. this chump hasnt #unlocked my level of gender yet. pronouns and names in general are so far disconnected from the way i exist in the world... #its just smth thats fun for me to play around with + makes me feel weird sometimes but in ways i havent distilled yet yknow #and this has been my approach to gender for like?? 4-5 years now??? and likely will continue to be for a long while.. #anyway. its not actually that surprising my flatmate doesnt know bc shes cis so ive never felt compelled to have a deeper conversation #abt gender with her. but also i could sweeaaar its been mentioned bc almost all our other friends are trans lol #and also ive been introducing myself at queer sports socials w any pronouns and i swear i talked abt that w her..... whatever #and my pronouns are on discord and shes def seen my tumblr before but maybe i didnt have them in my bio at the time... i digress #i kind of prefer cis ppl she/hering me tbh. theyre not able to they them or he him or whatever else me in a way that matters..... #altho i do find it fascinating when she or other ppl elect to use neutral or masculine terms for me. raising an eyebrow and taking notes #like when she got a job and joked abt me being her househusband.. pulling up the fem/masc tally chart and chalking a line up #a la nona the ninth.... ive been trying to figure out whos inhabiting this body my entire fucking life with no luck girl #ANYWAY just smth to think abt. im so tired i think my brain is gonna start seeping out my eyeballs #im gonna watch some more pluto and read and then -> 🛌 #another 6:30 start tomorrow woohoo #.diaries #zzzzz

Saejima and majima are so guys that walk around the city for hours and then ask okay where are we going / idk i was following you / but i was following you

#Yakuza loveblog #their desire to hang out transcends common sense. thats my belief #i think that two guys who got separated for a long time and thought of each other daily deserve to be permanently reunited #oh i just looked it up and saejima has no karaoke songs. he songs baka mitai and machine gun kiss #thats kiryus songs. why are they the same person #kiryu and saejima will just be equally matched in strength and have the same music taste. like whats up with that #majima loves guys who can sneeze whilw hugging him and break his spine #do you think its a bit crazy that saejima has such a relationship with majima that he took like five seconds to be upset that majima died an #then was like okay whatever he deserved it. and then went on a hunt for majimas killer to find out his last words #and when kiryu heard that majima died he got mega pissed off and needed to punch something and possibly scream as loud and long as possible #at least thats how i saw the car honking scene he was punching the honk and yelling because he was fucked up over it. then he just ent home #im so fucking redundant btw i have literally said all this before. i just adore the thought of majima coming home to these two ns theyre #discussing things like. sports and. workout routines and hes like oh god theyre the same

the Damar Hamilin situation is horrific for a lot of reasons, obviously, but it still just... i am honestly at a loss for words at how the NFL is&has been handling it.

like, this wasn't a mistake or an accident, this was a function of the game&a clean play. there was no foul, as far as i could tell or have heard. an extremely healthy&well trained young man almost fucking died as a function of the game, &the NFL is not only trying to deny their callousness at the event in general:

they have got whole cardiologists on deck trying to explain what happened like it wasn't a CLEAN HIT THAT STOPPED HIS HEART ON NATIONAL TELEVISION:

[image text: From your perspective, what are the possible causes of Hamlin's cardiac arrest?

Dr. Baggish: There's a long list: there are genetic and congenital abnormalities which could be at play, I know there's been speculation about the blunt force from the tackle, but I would say that it's really premature to make any speculation. In fact, to jump to a conclusion would be a mistake. The diagnosis of commotio cordis, for example [which refers to a fatal disruption of the heart rhythm from a blow to the chest], is what we call a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning other things have been eliminated. We would never conclude that unless other factors have been ruled out. /text]

this shit is fucking evil.

#like i had to stop looking at articles about this last night bc some of them just fucking made me wild. #&like i just cant believe how comfortable this organization is about making it clear how disposable their players #are. i have so many feelings&thoughts about how this is supposed to be the dream for so many poor kids #esp poor kids of colour. how my brothers gave whole parts of their bodies as literal children to the cause of #sports scholarships&what potential that could give them. how not only is that already a pipe dream for the most part #but even the lucky ones end up. here. #arguing about their rights after a career worth of concussions&having literal brain damage played down #&thats without even getting into the very obvious racial aspect of things. #like i know i shouldnt be surprised at all after the last few years but. like is just. #like another article talks to a different cardiologist who calls this a 'rare condition' which only really impacts kids in sports. #&its like. okay so even when youre willing to acknowledge the reality of the situation you STILL need to act like this is a fReAk AcCiDeNt? #&your way to do that is by saying 'oh this usually only happens to KIDS who play these sports'?????? fucking WHAT???
