"If I Could Live Anywhere in the World"

Amira Medina – 04.25.19

If I could live anywhere in the world, I'd live in a song.

A song that maybe only I would know of, but a song regardless,

I don't know what kind it would be, but whatever it may be, I'm sure it'd be the most beautiful.

Every note would make me feel at home,

Every lyric would bring me the warmest soup,

Every rhyme would send me to the most peaceful sleep

I’ve been wanting to talk about novel Kakeru for awhile now but my thoughts are still quite a mess and it’s hard to know where to begin.  

The thing is… and this is just my personal reading of it… the vibe I get from novel Kakeru feels a bit different from anime Kakeru. I guess the simplest way to explain this is that I don’t see novel Kakeru as nearly the awkward unsociable turtle as I did with anime Kakeru, because there are parts I’ve read that makes me convinced he’s somehow manage to assimilate himself into university life just fine. I’m even a little convinced that among his other circles or same level peers, his personality could have been much closer to this version of Kakeru than the forever tormented and brooding child we see in the series.

The section time records of the actual Hakone Ekiden from Wiki places Matsuse Genta at the 10th section with a 1:08:59 record - the exact same time as Kakeru’s record in his section.

Haiji stated that Kakeru was his “dream taken shape” and the “ideal form he never reached”. Kakeru had set a record in his section with the 10th section’s (Haiji’s section) record time. It may have been some kind of coincidence or it may have been intentional (don’t really know if the novel states their time as such or if the Production IG did it that way) but it’s like Kakeru set that record in behalf of Haiji with him being the ideal form and such. Anyway that’s all thanks for coming to my TedTalk

There is nothing in this world more romantic than Kakeru looking at Haiji with tears in his eyes saying “You asked me once what running is. You said you wanted to know what it is. The answer is you. It’s you.”

Can I hold your hand?

Just for a moment?

Just to know

that your hand fits

into mine.

That I didn’t imagine

the warmth

of another human being.

That I didn’t flinch

when your skin

met mine.

Will you hold my hand?

Will you pretend,

just for a moment

that the warmth

is still there?

Will you not flinch

when my skin

meets yours?

- a.k.

“I have all these OCs! But no story…”

bruh

make a fighting game

[sliceofpudding-blog]

I'd run as far and as fast as I can go,

If it meant I could run with you.

I'd walk, I'd crawl, I'd always follow behind your tracks even if in the midst of it all, I can never look back.

You can take the longest, and most painful road and you'll find me close.

You can take the shortest, easier route and you'll have me close.

No matter what, you'll always have me. So why can't I have you?

My legs are worn out, my feet are tired, my shoes are scraped, and my shoelaces are untied,

Again and again, I bend down to tie them, to catch up to you like always

But you never look back, not even once

Still, like a lost kitten, I follow you.

I follow you because if I don't, I'd be even more lost. I follow because your footsteps are the only sounds that can clear the noises in my head.

I want to run with you.

Do you want to run with me too?

I can't even eat a decent meal nowadays. There's food on the table, and I'm eating with others, but it doesn't feel like home. I feel like I'm uninvited, and maybe that's not their intention, maybe it's just my mind's fault, but sitting there just makes me feel out of place. How do you cope with feeling out of place in front of your own dinner table, inside of your own home?

There's nowhere to go; everywhere I go just feels unreal, to the point I don't even feel like I'm really there. Sure, I go to school, stay inside the classroom, hang out with friends, and do what other students my age do. But all of that feels fake. All of that feels fabricated. Nothing feels real. Maybe it's up to me to make myself feel real, to make myself stand out, and fit in. But nothing works. I'm a stranger in my own body, in my own school, in my own home. Everybody seems to know me better than I do, and there are many times I want to believe their perception of me is the proper one. However, days and nights pass by like one long boring, dreadful day – I realize it's almost halfway through 2019. But to me, it only feels like one long day. Time doesn't feel real; if you forget about it long enough, it starts to feel illusionary. Sometimes I think maybe time was just invented to make us feel like we actually did something productive today, to make us actually feel like we're moving forward. But now that I'm at a standstill unlike everyone else, time starts to become fictional.

There's a gaping, empty hole inside of me. I did everything I could to fill it up, to get rid of it. But why doesn't it ever go away? Why is it like a lingering parasite that keeps shoving its existence in my face? Why does everything I do not matter? I didn't ask for this. I always ask, what did I do wrong? I was only a young kid trying to dream, and make her way to that dream. What's so wrong about that? Why did it have to get to this? Why did I let myself become this... failure?

I want to be happy. I want to beat this. I want to care. I want to want. I want to need. I want to love. I want to embrace. I want to move on. But what's stopping me so much? Is it my own self?

“Kakeru, what type of person do you think is suited for long-distance running?”

“Well… all sorts, I guess? Like those with good stamina, for example…”

“I think it’s the headstrong types. You’ve seen Prince’s massive collection, right? For someone like him whose head is filled with nothing but manga, it’s all he ever thinks about, and that’s not something just anyone can do. Prince doesn’t like to go clubbing, and he doesn’t like spending money frivolously either. He devotes all of his money and time to manga and does it with unwavering passion– it’s really amazing. To be so single-minded and wholeheartedly invested in one thing and not find it hard, such types are definitely suited for long-distance running.”

Kakeru stole a glance at Kiyose, only to see the serious expression on his face. It seemed those compliments were not given carelessly.

ugly crying

characters struggling to talk because they’re about to cry

characters reuniting with someone whom they thought were dead
