The way this song by Bruno Mars remembers me of MASHI MASHI from Haikyuu is insane.

BRUNO MARS HAIKYUU'S NO. 1 NOT DECLARED FAN, FIGHT ME

NICO Touches the Walls - Broken Youth (2008)

[luvingsolace]

Btw I firmly believe that Nicos love languages are physical touch and acts of service🙏🏻 there’s nothing you could tell me that would make me change my mind and HERES WHY.

1) physical touch

“Oh but Nico canonically hates physical touch🤓” well yes! And let’s think about it for a second here, because him being touch adversed for most of the time AND having physical touch as his love language actually makes a lot of sense!

For most of the series Nico feels uncomfortable, inadequate, unaccepted. He hates himself, he is scared of his own feelings, of his own self. I think it’s extremely fitting that he doesn’t like when most people touch him, because he doesn’t feel accepted by most people, he doesn’t trust them. Its extremely fitting for him to absolutely refuse physical touch, because he doesn’t feel like he can show the part of him that is full of love, or more so he doesn’t think he has one at all.

Hes canonically always searching for physical contact with people he loves, after he starts healing! We see this with Hazel, though not a lot since NicoHazel content is regrettably in hoo only, with Jason, WITH WILL!!!! He’s literally CONSTANTLY touching Will. Holding his hand, kissing him, sitting beside him and scooping closer to him. He loves physical touch guys he just does…

2) acts of service

Well this is actually extremely obvious😓

He’s The Helper. He’s literally the helper. In the whole series. He’s just helping everyone constantly.

He does this with people he doesn’t like or trust, I think it’s clear he would do even more with the ones he love.

He loves doing little gestures for his loved ones, like cooking for them, or bringing Will a snack while he’s in the infirmary, bringing Reyna some water when she’s training… THATS JUST WHO HE IS!!!

I wish I could feel the way Haikyuu makes me feel all time.

you know what, sometimes I need a seven minute song. sometimes that seven minute song saves my soul.

[ladsofsorrow24]

why is it that... sns fans talk about naruto shippuden ending 6 as the gayest shit studio pierrot ever pulled on TV, when NARUTO SHIPPUDEN ENDING 20; BY MY SIDE PERFORMED BY HEMENWAY IS RIGHT THERE?

[ladynicte]

The Son of Neptune as a theater play, and the Lares are literally just the stage crew, that are constantly fixing up the lights, changing the stage, helping out the actors, with their makeup or costumes, but none of the characters are allowed to interact with them back in any way, except for Nico.

So from time to time, Nico is just walking around the seats, and around the audience, tinkering with the projectors, and soundboards.

Sometimes, audience members ask him for autographs, or hand him flowers and stuff, and he just takes them, and walks around with the gifts a little, before joining back into the story, aka the stage, with the rest of the charactes.

NICO Touches the Walls - 「Diver」

あの水平線が遠ざかっていく 青すぎた空には明日すら描けなくて 息もできないくらい澱んだ人の群れ 僕はいつからここに潜り込んだんだ

the horizon's fading away into the distance i can hardly fathom a concept like "tomorrow" underneath a sky so brilliant when did i dive into this stagnant crowd of people packed together so tightly i can't even breathe

悲しみなんて吐きだして 前だけ見てればいいんだっけ それじゃとてもまともでいられない すべてを僕が敵にまわしても 光をかすかに感じてるんだ そこまで行けそうなら

i just need to spit out my sadness and focus on what's in front of me, was that it? no, that's no decent way to live even if the whole world's against me, i can still feel that light shining faintly by my side if i could just reach it, i'd-

息をしたくて ここは苦しくて 闇を見上げるだけの夜は もがく減圧症のダイバー 生きているんだって 確かめたくて 深い海底を目指してもう一度 呼吸をしよう

i just want to breathe. i'm in so much pain here the nights i spend doing nothing but looking up at the darkness make me feel like a diver sick from surfacing too fast but i wanna see for myself if i'm really living so i'll take a deep breath and aim for that abyss one more time

頭の中の地図をひっくり返したら 足りないものだらけで 独り怯えた昨夜 僕は強いんだってずっと思ってた 誰よりも強いってずっと思ってた

i looked all over the map of the inside of my head all i saw were my faults. i felt so alone that night, so scared this whole time i thought i was strong i thought i was stronger than anybody else

迷子になった白鳥が 星の夜空に浮かんでいた 慰めのように降り出した雨 だけどどうやら僕らはなれそうもない 星が星なら僕は僕さ どこまで行けそうかな

a swan drifted astray into the sea of stars overhead and then a gentle rain fell, as if trying to console us but it looks like neither of us can be what we wanna be. if a star's just a star, then all i can be is me i wonder how far I can go

重たい錨を背負い込んで ほんの少し祈りを吐きだして まるで合図のように降り出した雨

taking up my heavy anchor, i coughed up a meager prayer and then the rain began to fall, as if signaling me

息をしたくて ここは苦しくて 闇を見上げるだけの僕じゃ 浮かぶ方法もないダイバー 生きているんだって 確かめたいならそう 深い海底を目指してもう一度だけ 息をしてみて

ただの幸せに気づいたら もう二度と溺れないよ

i just want to breathe. i'm in so much pain here but sitting here and looking up at the darkness would make me nothing more than a diver who can no longer surface i know if i wanna find out whether i'm really living that i need to aim for that abyss just one more time so i'll try to take a breath

if i could just glimpse even a fraction of happiness i would never drown again

[the-cinnamon-witch]

Absolutely. I always loved Diver and Guren. However, the opening animation for Diver tipped the scales in its favor.

What is the best Naruto OP, and why is it Diver?
