#lol i just predict all my not faves to win because i don't have that much of a luck in the second round anymore

[sarcasmchandlerbing]

Now this is what has to happen in the playoffs (according to me and my wishes) and also I will predict the outcome:

Florida Panthers has to beat the scary opponent. They can. They have the change. It might be a tough round 2 with these two and I will be scared. I hope I'm not going to start to hate the opposing team if they manage to win. Go Panthers! ❤

Carolina Hurricanes needs to get rid of of the big bad wolf. I am so scared of them (the big bad wolf) winning this whole thing it's not even funny. They can. Easily. Nothing can't stop them. But I hope Hurricanes can! I want Hurricanes to win so bad but I think the others might win 😬 I hope I am so wrong about this one! Go Hurricanes! ❤

Dallas Stars need to beat the other team. Who I think will win? Well, this might be a tough battle they are going to have. It could go either way I think. Go Stars! 💚

Vancouver Canucks, you have one job. To destroy the team which has already won in the past. No need for it again. So please please Canucks, win this. I don't know about this one, the enemies might win. Hope I'm wrong again! Go Canucks! 💙

Disventure Camp All Stars: Thoughts and Opinions

I was scrolling through TD Twitter while eating my lunch and I noticed this. Disventure Camp might be getting cooked idk.

Disventure Camp is similar enough to TDI. So I decided to post my thoughts on here.

James- Absolutely terrible in DC2. Somewhat tolerable here. "Listen boytoy" was a funny line.

Lake- One of the few decent-ish characters from DC2 that did absolutely nothing here. Felt like she was just added to have a shock value elimination.

Miriam- Expected early boot but respect for going down swinging.

The Remaining Players:

Aiden- Boring asf in DC2. He's okay here. Not really rooting for him but he exists.

Ally- Abysmal in DC2. Okay here. After finishing ep 1 of DCAS. I hoped that Ally and Hunter would be the "toxic couple". Something like Chase and Emma from the reboot. But they seem pretty chill so far so that's disappointing.

Ashley- One of my faves from DC1 and she's still good here. I like the friendship she has with Jake. I think it's a little dirty that out of all the Disventure couples. Her relationship with Will happened off screen and got like 0 development. Maybe they should've just saved Ashley and Will for like an underdogs season? Idk.

Alec- The goat. The Alecmeister. The head honcho the villains alliance. I hope Alec getting all this screentime isn't a fakeout and he genuinely makes it far. If he does win, he needs to spend some of that money on therapy, lol.

Connor- I don't really get the hype. He's ok I guess. I wonder what was that card that Miriam gave him?

Ellie- Her move to get out Lake was impressive. But after episode 4, I could easily see Tess switching sides to Aiden and Tom. Ellie's gonna need that villain alliance to come in clutch.

Fiore- Getting that TDA Heather treatment. I hope since she's not the main villain anymore they actually give her a little bit of development. I've seen some ppl don't like the fact she's getting bullied. But I personally find it amusing.

Gabby- Hasn't really done anything interesting or entertaining so far. Then again it's only episode 4. Maybe she'll be better down the line.

Grett- I think her and Yul will be the toxic couple. Hope they both go far.

Hunter- Him bullying Fiore is funny. Other than that, eh.

Jake- I hope he goes off the deep end and enters his evil incel arc. Then like midway through the season he gets over Tom and they become enemies who used to date. Could be peak.

Riya- Her whole arc of pretending to be mean for the cameras and the whole persona she puts up is cool. Reminds me of what they did with Julia in Reboot S1. But here it feels a bit more serious.

Tess- Literal NPC. The Rematch Nichelle of this season. She needs to start doing something quick.

Tom- He's being a dickhead to Jake. But Jake is part of the reason he got eliminated so understandable.

Yul- The closest thing Disventure Camp has to a comedic relief character. NEEDS to go far. He seems to be a mixed bag, since I've seen some ppl dislike him because of his racism. But I personally view it like this, no one agrees with what he's saying and he usually either gets called out or physically hurt for saying it. So I don't have a problem with it. Shows need assholes. He's like an Eric Cartman type of character.

Bonus Notes: I predicted a Miriam elimination for Ep 2 and Ep 3. Then I tried to switch things up and predict Riya going home for Ep 4. Should've just went with my gut.

Prediction for Episode 5: Based off their convo, I think Ally and Hunter are gonna team up with Fiore. In which case, I could see Ashley going home since she's a bigger threat and one of Fiore's biggest haters.

How much do you think will change from the manga ending? Mikasa's (assumed) husband not having Jeans hair color? Historia's daughter have emerald green eyes like Eren? Eren killing and injuring Mikasa to which Armin punches him in the face while Eren mockingly pretends he doesn't want her with another man?

GYAHHHH why are you anon I want to talk to you about AOE!!! LOL

AOE is always tough for me to talk about publicly because again, there are certain scenes and moments for RM that my soul needs to see animated. This ship, for me, was built and solidified on the fact that both Levi and Mikasa survive and live a peaceful life after!! So if AOE happens, especially the way ANR predicts, that all kinda gets wiped away. So with that, I want to be clear that I don't wish for it, but I am highly convinced that it's... probable. I'm fascinated by how much foreshadow and hinting there potentially is set up throughout the entire decade of AOT.

It's honestly hard to say what exactly might happen in an AOE, but I think the big points of the ANR theories is that anime-Eren will be revealed to be aware of his memories of manga-Eren and how that timeline ended, which is pushing anime-Eren to make the anime timeline end differently -- this is believed to be a full-scale rumbling in which Eren/Paradis wins. Maybe I'll write in bulletpoints:

100% Rumbling instead of 80%

Eren lives instead of killed

Eren kills Mikasa instead of Mikasa killing Eren

Paradis Island is abandoned (they leave to occupy the world) instead of Paradis Island destroyed

Alliance (besides Armin) dies instead of Alliance lives

Eren sacrificing friends instead of sacrificing himself to make them heroes as he said

Eren being willing to sacrifice

...We might not even reach a 'Mikasa husband' scene tbh if she gets killed in the rumbling

.......Reiner not being a creep instead of sniffing Hisu's letter..... pls

Eren not being a whiny jealous lil bish

That's just some stuff I think that could actually potentially happen, but hey, let's brighten things up and think about what my happy ideal changes could be made (let's veer away from the morbid stuff LOL) and I like some of what you said!!! Historia's child with freakin GREEN EYES!!!!! The panel people assume to be Grisha/baby Eren "You are free" scene ending up being Eren/baby!!!! Or if Mikasa and gang lives??? YES give that Mikasa-husbando freakin black hair and an undercut PLS LOL.

Anyway, I'm delulu WHO FREAKING KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN

And if we get the regular manga ending, I'll be selfishly happy to get my fave scenes even if it means the story truly is butchered. We'll get 'Stay with me' and 'Got it... Mikasa.' We'll get Levi and Mikasa living happy life after war, readying to reunite again. We'll get the epic Levi + Scouts ghosts salute scene, crying and smiling Levi. ;-; We'll get wheelchair Levi living in London and drinking the best tea ever. pls

Me: 'yeah I'll get over Sinner winning the AO before Stef'

Also me: *had a little cry this morning when I saw the trophy photoshoot*

Yes I know I am pathetic lol, I wish I wasn't this upset. But I had the realisation that I'm most likely never going to see any of my faves do one of those, and that really hurt. I wouldn't mind as much if it was someone like Casper or Andrey, but I dislike Sinner so much (not because of him, because of his fans) that seeing him win a slam first has made me very upset

And of all slams it had to be that one- Stef loves Australia, there's a big Greek population there and he always says it feels like home, and seeing someone I can't stand win it first (in large part due to getting lucky with the draw and everyone else playing badly, no way would he have beaten last year's Djokovic)... I don't like it and especially as Stef has been far more consistent there, it feels really unfair even though of course it isn't :(

This is just me being bitter. I'm not saying Jannik didn't deserve to win (fair play to him for being the only one of the top 4 seeds who didn't play like shit the whole time lol), I'm just frustrated that the draw was a mess and Stef couldn't make the most of it due to coming off an injury- if he'd had that draw with the form he was in last year it would have been a very different story. It's just the way it goes, I know, but I am feeling very sore about it

And predictably the 'Stef should just retire now and hang his head in shame at everything he has failed to achieve' posts have begun. I'm trying to keep in mind that someone on reddit did a poll of ranking the top 10 by popularity and he came joint second to last... they hate him there and so it's not exactly objective but it still really hurts

[that-was-anticlimactic]

i've almost finished ep 7 and!! my god that beach episodeee i love them all so much <33333 ESP THE SCENE WHERE MIYA PRETENDED TO BE JOE'S KID HGGHJSDFSJH THAT WAS SO FUNNY! JOE'S FACE WHEN HE REALIZES MIYA'S 'MOM' IS CHERRY IS PURE GOLD!! ALSO I LOVED THEM GETTING SPOOKED IN THE HOT SPRING. NGL I WAS 100% CONVINCED IT WAS CHERRY, JOE, MIYA AND SHADOW JUST PLAYING A PRANK ON THEM! JUST. YEAH EPISODE EVERR. i'm so proud of myself for predicting reki's 'falling behind'! i know it was probably super obvious but still i like being right!! don't get me wrong i feel for him but it's a very satisfying plot point (device? idk what it's called sorry) yk? i do feel less :/// about joe and cherry now. it's more obvious that they care and you're right! there probably isn't anything they could have said to convince reki or langa. OH AND ALSO. I LOVE SHADOW AND HOW HE'S BABYSITTING THEM NOW!!! HE IS BELOVED SJHKDHDFHJ I LOVE HIS DYNAMIC W REKI + LANGA + MIYA SM!! my faves are still joe, miya and reki and i think it'll stay this way :] very worried for langa and the tournament adam is hosting. oh also! another thing i predicted is that adam's servant was once a skating bud of his! i just saw some spoilers confirming it lol. my thought process was that miya said back then that if he wins, reki would be his dog and considering how adam calls that servant dude his dog as well, my guess is that that servant dude lost against adam in a beef in the past, leading to this. not 100% sold on that tho. based on some other spoilers and some official art, my backup theory is that when adam left joe and cherry behind, that servant dude didn't want adam to leave him as well so adam said ok you can come with me but then you'll have to be my servant. even less sure in that one but i gotta write it down in case i'm right! kind of related to that, so far i'm loving that red haired woman opposing adam a lot! she seems very cool and i just appreciate her for despising adam as much as me lol. this got lengthy again but i feel like it's not a surprise to anyone anymore so i figure i'll just stop saying sorry at this pont jshkdhffgh

YES THE BEACH EPISODE OMG SUCH AN ICONIC EPISODE!!! see, i'm still not convinced that some of them weren't in on it, because before they joe and cherry, you can hear them whisper: "joe" "cherry" wHICH ONLY THE KIDS AND SHADOW WOULD KNOW??? hm.

no you were SPOT ON about reki falling behind and feeling horrible! it's honestly a great thing to address in media and i feel like sk8 handled / addressed it really freaking well!

yay! glad you're less :/// about them! i know that i definitely was :/// why didn't they stop ad*m at first, but then the more i watched and understood the characters, the more i realized that trying to stop ad*m would've made it worse in the long run because he is full of vengeance and grudges

YES YES YES !!! SHADOW MY BELOVED !!! THE UNDERRATED KING !!! HE LITERALLY. HE CARES ABOUT THEM SO MUCH. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE THEM EVERYWHERE NOR DID HE HAVE TO TAKE REKI TO THE HOSPITAL OR TAKE THEM TO GET FOOD UT HE DID AND HE LOVES THEM AND JUST. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i have a Lot of shadow feelings it is. fine.

you'll get the answer (mostly) to tadashi (your servant dude) queries at the beginning of ep11, or like a little bit! you'll get bits and pieces for awhile, i just feel like some of it is confirmed then!

YES KIRIKO KAMATA MY BELOVED SHE HATES HIIM AS SHE SHOULD !!!

30-day knb challenge: Day 1- Favorite Male character

↳ Haizaki Shougo

I am not justifying Haizaki's behaviour. I think he needs a tall glass of respect woman juice and therapy. This is just meant to explain why he is my favourite character and help you better understand him as a character. Do not send hate or take my words out of context. You will be reported, deleted and cancelled. Thank you and enjoy. :)

My favourite character is Haizaki Shougo *dodges tomatoes* a lot of people in the fandom hate this guy for many reasons. It's kind of funny how many people hate him and the amount of hate he gets just for existing. Like bruh; he's sixteen, leave him alone. 😂

His whole existence is just sad. He was literally created to be hated.

Like straight up, Tadatoshi Fujimaki even admitted that he hated Haizaki. Haizaki's sole purpose of existing is to make the Generation of Miracles look better even though they’re just as problematic as he. No one is fucking perfect and is about time people woke the fuck up and realized it. Your faves are problematic move the fuck on.

Yes, the Miracles are redeemable but so is Haizaki. Yet, unlike the Miracles, he does not get redeemable. No, he disappears and is never seen again. Like bitch, what the fuck!? if you’re gonna introduce a character to only have them disappear for a long time and either have them show up again or just never mention them again. Wasting the potential they had to be a very good character or not having them redeem themselves while the other characters who were just as fucking problematic get a fucking redemption arc because they’re fucking main characters!? What’s the point of that character even existing in the first place? What kind of bullshit is that? Just to have them exist to make the main characters look good? How the fuck does that make sense? Like where is my Haizaki redemption arc? Do I have to write it on my own? I will write it. I am writing one.

Haizaki is the only character I could relate to. Being second best, struggling to find somewhere to fit in and overshadowed and replaced by someone everyone thinks is better than you. It's fucking depressing, okay? You spend your whole life thinking you’re not good enough, and it hurts. I don't feel like going too deep into it because I don't owe you a detailed explanation of my trauma, okay?. So I'll save that for my fics where I self-project half of it onto Haizaki. It’s a coping mechanism, okay? Therapy is fucking expensive.

The anime ruined his whole character, got rid of his whole arc and shorted it down, and made him worse than he really is.

A post explaining how the anime did him dirty and goes more in-depth about his character

I am not trying to justify his actions, i.e. him manhandling Alex and beating Himura up. He does terrible shit. We all do lousy shit sometimes, but that doesn't make us bad people. Making mistakes is a part of being human, and we're supposed to hold people accountable for their actions and help them realize what they’re doing is wrong, allowing them to grow and change. Not condemn them and ostracize them, which leads to isolation and a lot of psychological trauma and self-hatred, and as someone who has dealt with—is still dealing with all three. It is not fun. It makes living painful. Highly unrecommended.

Haizaki does not have a positive role model in his life nor anybody he can turn to, everyone has already given up on him. Even Nijimura and Kuroko didn’t even try to help him, being more focused on the Miracles. (Yes, I know kuroko tried to stop him from throwing his basketball shoes away, but that doesn’t fucking count because after that Kuroko just gave up on Haiazki too). Haizaki has probably grown grew up knowing only violence and not a single ounce of kindness, turning him into the bitter and angry little boy he is.

Haizaki had so much potential. But instead of making him a great villain that potential was WASTED on fucking Kise.

Also, the Kaijo vs Seirin match in the winter cup was completely useless because Kise already got redeemed and he literally got no character development from it.

And Seirin was gonna fucking win anyways because duh thier the main characters. 🙄

Now some headcanons I think about a lot:

1. He gets abused. Some psychological behavioural consequences of child abuse are unhealthy sexual practices and juvenile delinquency, and Haizaki exhibits all three which are some external behaviours of most (NOT ALL) male abuse victims. Haizaki's a womanizer, aggressive, hostile and violent. Yet, he backs down when someone stronger than him comes around and puts him in his place i.e. Aomine and Nijimura.

a factsheet explaining the long term consequences of child abuse and neglect

How to help a friend dealing with family abuse or neglect

How to Handle Abuse

2. He's a victim. And when you're a victim, you either become angry and cynical with everything and everyone around you, swearing never to be a victim again and struggle with gaining back control of your life. Not wanting anyone to see you being vulnerable because being vulnerable makes you weak. Being weak makes you shatter. You always shatter like glass, cutting yourself every time you pick up broken pieces, watching as blood trickles through your fingers.

Your body is constantly on high alert. The default is flight or fight—survival to the fittest.

Or you bite your lip and keep your head down, bottling everything inside and looking for escapes or seeking validation. You want to be wanted and loved because you struggle with loving and accepting yourself. There's always a voice in the back of your head telling you, you're not good enough or that it's your fault. That everything is your fault. Self-hatred and self-doubt are your tormentors.

Or it's a combination between both—a constant struggle.

And I believe Haizaki portrays both from the way he acts and presents himself. Especially since his motto is literally "Survival of the fittest,” and he had once told Kuroko, " there are bad guys and then the really scary people," or something along those lines, which I believe he is talking from experience. You learn from your experiences. They either make you or break you.

3. He's touch-starved.

What Does It Mean to Be Touch Starved?

4. He's bisexual and has a lot of internalized homophobia. I can just feel his internalized homophobia rolling off of him. Bruh, I just know cuz I am bisexual, and I have struggled with internalized homophobia and still sadly struggle with it cuz I grew up surrounded by homophobic people.

I still live with them. 😭

Also, we live in a society that thinks straight is the default.

What internalized homophobia is.

5. His sexual awakening was probably Aomine or Kise. Could be both 😂?

6. He cries himself to sleep every night.

7. He's observant and a great judge of character. It's a fact. This guy literally predicted the downfall of the Miracles. Straight up warned Kuroko too. Too bad Kuroko didn't listen to him.

8. He's hilarious. When he first appeared in the manga, he literally called Himura a loser, lol. XD

9. He's a closeted softie and a total tsundere.

10. doesn't know how to react to kindness and will think you're threatening him or will feel really awkward and uncomfortable but will cover it up with his scowl, or he'll have a breakdown.

11. needs a lot of reassurance and head pats

12. swears a lot. Has no filter.

13. His bother is in the yakuza or some high position of power, and he feels inferior to him. It also explains why Haizaki gets away with things because he would have been kicked out of school if his bother wasn't either-or. I'm talking about his bother being in the yakuza, lol. XD

14. He and Momoi dated for a while but broke up on a mutual understanding that thier relationship just didn't work out. They're best friends and hang out sometimes.

15. Haizaki's good with kids and just genuinely likes them. He would be a great father and try his best to raise his kids right.

16. He gets sick really easily

17. He's clingy

18. He has no friends, mainly because he doesn't want people to get close to him because he's afraid of getting hurt again. Also, everyone in knb hates him.

19. He watches cartoons cuz he was never allowed to watch them when he was a kid. His childhood is trash, okay?

20. He hides in the closet because that's where he feels safe the most—rhetorically and literally.

21. Sleep-deprived and only runs on caffeine and spite.
