rin’s habit of imitating nii-chan

i needed this for another post* so that’s why it’s not as detailed / refined ( ? ) as my other ones, just a short compilation of rin being a tiny parrot :))))

(*the post is about the importance of rin rejecting being sae’s brother after aspiring to be sae all his life and rejecting individuality)

bleh :P

anime additional time & rin light novel:

He's eating a popsicle at the penny candy store. As he was munching on it, the word "lost" appeared on the stick.

"Alright."

"Oh, did you win?"

When he pumped his fist, the auntie at the penny candy store called out to him.

"Nope. I lost."

"You're happy because you lost? You're a strange kid, aren't you?”

The auntie tilted her head in puzzlement.

"It's fine. I don't want to use my luck."

The reason he's happy with that loss is because long ago, Sae said, "Those who use their luck on things like this can't be the best in the world." Now that he thinks of it, maybe he was trying to cover up the fact that his younger brother Rin was the winner and he's the loser. Sae hates to lose. Even so, not jinxing it but Rin's a bit happy when he loses. In fact, even if he wins, he won't eat the second one. He just throws it in the trash to destroy the evidence. Because that's what Sae did. Like this, Rin does nothing but imitate Sae.

so he copies how sae eats his food & his habits & how sae talks & how sae insults people !

later he takes on the phrase “lukewarm”/ mindset of football being a battlefield

cross elastico nutmegs are a family humiliation ritual:

egoist bible answers:

becomes sae’s replacement (also becomes n1 of japan by imitating sae!):

The team keeps going because of Sae. With Sae gone, the team suddenly ceased to function.

.......Then, I would be the replacement for Nii-chan!

The next day, Rin drastically changed his playstyle.

Okay but can we talk about how tanizaki heard Yosano's story about Mori and offered to join the mafia instead of her WHEN NO ONE ASKED HIM TO!!! Like bro was READY to volunteer as tribute. And like when he interacted with the mafia during the virus arc they were all like damn dude with your ability you'd make a good assassin. He knows DAMN WELL they'd make him one and he's so ready to sacrifice his morals to them for Yosano. So much so that he's a little too eager to join the mafia for another ADA member's sake. Like i KNOW he cares about her but also like it's the member he's terrified of bcz she's literally filleted him alive and dude didn't even HESITATE. And he doesn't even know she's gonna be chosen for sure. Knowing both those things, I'd like to once again point out that no one asked him to, he just chose to say that COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED. Also in the very first volume he literally says he's going to murder Higuchi and then immediately tries to strangle her. And he's all like I'd let the world burn for naomi whenever they're not in a situation where it's the world or naomi. Like his character is so "I'd kill for you" that i feel like what he really means but doesn't say aloud is "please ask me to kill for you."

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

YOU GUYS ARE EVIL FOR NOT REMINDING ME TO INCLUDE THIS PANEL:

kageyama actually ADJUSTED on a set because he was so worried for hinata, the uncompromising king who always does his best ADJUSTED HIS SET (went easy on himself and his opponents and his teammates) OUT OF WORRY. also doesn’t it kinda add to the idea that “hinata is hinata, he’s weird so everything is fine” mindset he had during kamomedai match?

i included it in the og post now hopefully people see it when they see the post😭 it’s so important and im so annoyed i missed it🫠

kageyama worrying about hinata !

he’s actually a single mother of five :

somehow has custom hinata aura detection senses (?) :

reaction to hinata being hit in the face :

right from the start, he ASKS when hinata is acting off :

mother henning before a match :

mother henning during a match :

ADJUSTS HIS SET WHEN HE SAW HINATA BEING STRESSED!!!!

and here’s the one time he didn’t worry…

i just like how built up the “kageyama noticing hinata’s fever” thing is because right from the start he’s continually watching and worrying, he pays very close attention to hinata’s wellness physically and mentally and continually checks in on him. so there’s this unfortunate and interesting irony that the one person who worries that often and could notice Weird Behaviour on account of being a hinata-expert, shrugged off his own worry despite noticing the symptoms.

bonus- encouraging when he notices hinata’s upset:

i just didn’t want to end on the fever panel even though it’s the whole reason for the post! it’s justified by the fact that he’s worried enough to comfort him????

haha what if we were thematic parallels with opposing colour schemes and i bite the chess piece that represents you (since im the vampire who desires to bite you but who also ends up killing you)

whilst you just kiss mine (since letting me kill you is a declaration of love / trust from you and also you were unable to kill me)

also we're chained together bc i said i'd never set you free

just kidding unless👉🏾👈🏾

thank you very much for this post, i hadn’t noticed the connection between the broken pieces and the deaths that haunt them- esp the bishop = louis a very clever and interesting observation!!!

just one question- noe’s colour is mainly white + purple but he’s mainly covered in reds and in a gradient and it kinda looks like blood splotches bc of the colour

what do you think that could mean? a corruption of sorts? just representing his desire for blood? just to better contrast vanitas’ blue?

Every time I look at this illustration I start emotionally chewing glass. Like.

Mochijun has drawn Vanoé back to back and/or with Noé inverted a zillion times, but the strong blue vs red and black vs white color theming in this one really drives home the whole "they're perfect opposites" visual of it all. The contrasting duo of all time.

Vanitas and Noé are chained together, or at least they're both wrapped up in the same chain. And it's the chain from The Book of Vanitas—the initial connection that first binds them together when they meet.

Vanitas and Noé each both have one chess piece behind them that is fully broken rather than just a bit cracked. Vanitas and Noé are also both, as people, deeply haunted by one particular death from their backstory.

Vanitas lost both of his biological parents by his mid teens, and he thought he'd lost Misha as well until recently, but he's always been first and foremost defined by the death of Luna. Luna is his namesake, the source of his powers, and the motivating force behind his self-destructive revenge. There would be no "Vanitas" at all if not for the ways the events around Luna's death broke and defined him. And the shattered chess piece behind Vanitas is a queen piece: a broken matriarch to represent the death of his mother figure.

Noé lost his human grandparents as a small child, and he's been separated from his Archiviste family by death and/or distance, but he is first and foremost defined by the death of Louis. Louis is the one great loss that poured gas on the fire of Noé's savior complex, to the point he even references his failure to save Louis as a reason he has to save Domi in the Amusement Park. Louis is the dead friend he still dreams of years later in Paris. He is the one great specter of grief that even Noé cannot romanticize into something painless. And the shattered chess piece behind Noé is a bishop: the piece best suited to represent a boy who was less noble than a knight but more important than a pawn. (Not to mention, of course, that Louis died in a ruined church).

Vanitas and Noé each have a king piece in the other's color. Noé is biting the blue king piece, and Vanitas is holding the magenta king up to his lips in a way that very much looks kisslike. That would be a loaded piece of imagery in any context, but given that the broken background pieces already establish the use of chess pieces to represent people in this illustration, and given that we know Noé wants to bite Vanitas, it's. Well it's certainly evocative.

This illustration is from right at the very beginning of the series! And it's such a fun teaser of everything we've learned about Vanitas and Noé since. It's got the way they're eternally in contrast yet bound together. It's got subtle references to the deaths that haunt them both. It's got implied sexual tension. It's got foreshadowing.

Truly one of the VnC prints of all time.

How selfless and caring Lenore can be…. She always gives people the care she was deprived of, and it kills me. She sees a creepy child, not even being sure if it's really a child, and immediately tries to comfort him.

Of course she doesn't have the same experience watching horror movies with demon-possessed children that we have, but still.
