What do you think about Seirin? As a team and as a group of characters in general. It just seems strange that for the MC's team, they seem pretty bland compared to the GoM, which is rare for sports animes, since the focus is usually on the main team. Idk when I watched it I just didn't feel a strong connection to them.

I always thought that it was the point of the anime. Like Seirin is supposed to be bland. I mean, if you noticed, they even designed them specifically simple looking (no one has any weird hair or perculiar face features like every other team, they also have only brunettes on the team (unlike all the other teams) and nobody can even stand out if you’re looking at them from afar). Even from 5 uncrowned kings they got the most plain looking one, if you noticed. No one alternates uniform in any way, like when you can see kasamatsu from a far just cause of his knee socks. No nothing. They’re as plain as can be. Same goes for personalities, nothing intense going on there, they’re very dim.

That was intentionally made to make the contrast to the GOM as ridiculously huge as possible. And that was exactly what Kuroko was trying to prove to the GOM: that he can join ANY team and beat them, if the team plays together and supports each other. That was his bet.. well, with Akashi.

I don’t think anybody was supposed to feel strongly connected to any of the Seirin members by themselves, just to the team spirit, that they represent.

If you also noticed, everyone in Seirin is very nice and none of them have any deep internal conflicts in them, they’re like not problematic at all. No one from Seirin would bump heads with each other, cause they don’t have any reasons for it. While the GOM is the definition of problematic lol. It’s a clean freak vs. a messy one, a dumb ass vs. genuis, a celebrity vs. a person who nobody notices, etc. It’s like Breakfast Club. People with extremely colorful personalities who from the first sight you’d think would never get along, but then accidentally started to like each other way too much. But GOM actually also grew up into a family during these 3 years of being together. Their personalities were too strong and kept clashing mainly cause of teenage maximalism (excluding Akashi with his family problems that led to psycological trauma and Kuroko who tried to put all the fire down). That’s why it’s so interesting to watch and you’re so invested in them getting back together.

Kuroko needed to prove his point and he needed a fucking calm team for that who wouldn’t butt heads with each other. So here we have Seirin. You’re not supposed to feel a strong connection to them, cause they’re not Kuroko’s team/family (he knows them for 5 months by the end of s3). GOM is. And focus is also on the GOM members, not on Seirin. Each time they show Seirin, it’s about showing their team spirit, not show the team per se (if you understand what I mean). They don’t show Kuroko’s connection to each member, cause he doesn’t have it, they only show the whole team hugging him,for example. He doesn’t have any special relationships/scenes with Seirin members one by one, opposed to GOM members, where he has special relationships with each one of them.

So you’re still feeling the same thing you’re talking about. GOM are the main character’s team, you feel attached to GOM, cause that’s how Kuroko feels. That also means that the author managed to get his idea across. Cause the only characters he actually built are GOM.

Maybe you got a bit of confused, cause it’s a very original plot from the getting into the team and reaching the top with that team. Cause it’s like...well, the main character getting his team back with a help of another team.

Recovery is not about never being sad again or never relapsing again or never struggling again.

Recovery is a mindset. Recovery is changing the way you think so that when you feel sad or relapse or begin to struggle again, you know how to cope with it.

So when we talk about recovery, we’re not talking about being fixed , we’re talking about modifying the way we process our thoughts and ‘failures’ in a healthier way. This way when we have bad periods they don’t consume us.

Recovery is a mindset.

Self love reminder💛

To bloom is not to surpass other people or gain all their praises, admiration and love. To bloom is to be free of all comparison, envy, and hate and see life with eyes that perceive that everyone has their own uniqueness, temperaments, and fate. This wisdom is perhaps what the world needs more to educate into the minds of young people before it’s too late.

Being alone isn’t a sign of failure. Being alone doesn’t mean you’re unlovable. Being alone isn’t equal to being pathetic. Being alone is just a state of being, it won’t last forever.
