i think a really great aspect of oofuri is how much it gets mihashi's ass for being overly timid and dependent. it would be really easy to write off the way he and abe interact as being abe's fault because he is overbearing, and a lot of people do, but it has some really great moments of going "hey, you cannot hide behind abe or depend on him to make every decision. it's not good for you, or him, or the team."

#oofuri #yeah abe is a little overbearing but it is often because mihashi does not make decisions on his own so abe is just filling in the gaps #because he really and truly cannot make a good guess about what mihashi wants #because mihashi has never said anything about what he wants #but any time mihashi has ever voiced a complaint or suggestion abe takes it into account #he is not dismissive #he just doesn't think to ask because 1. mihashi has never given abe a straight answer to anything 2. abe is not very good at being social!!#autistic teen boy who needs things said simply to him paired up with autistic teen boy who thinks saying things simply will get him killed #abe should ask more but mihashi also needs to say more. abe can't read his mind and he shouldn't have to that's not how relationships work #i get a little irritated at the perception that abe is treating mihashi poorly #what is he meant to do when mihashi doesn't talk to him #i am thinking about the scene where tajima gets mad at mihashi #and tells him 'you can't play baseball with just abe'#because mihashi being incapable of speaking his mind and acting on his own isn't good for the team #and abe will pick up the slack but that isn't how things should be #i did not like the bijou game but i really liked it showcasing the strain it put on abe to make all of the calls #and there is a lot there to be said about how his willingness to do everything but actually pitch for mihashi #stems from how bad catching for haruna was for him #because he felt alone at the catcher's plate the same way mihashi did on the mound #and that. fucking scene of abe begging haruna to pitch. augh. he'll do the rest please just pitch #abe can do everything else as long as mihashi stays on the mound #obsessed with mihashi and abe mutually being so worried that the other person will not be there
