yknow sometimes i think about how mr seawatt gaming parkourcivilization only got to where he was by leveraging his knowledge of obscure rules and mechanics and keeping all his cards close to his heart. how he clearly only got to where he originally was in the 1st movie by making himself useful with amethyst blocks and brewing stand jumps. and how it all crumbled because evbo 360-ed all over his carefully laid plans but really, his undoing was his own hubris.
and he's shit at parkour
#parkour civilization#pkciv#pkciv fanart#seawatt#seawatt gaming#my arting#cant believe this is the fucking piece of media that parkours away my art block#anyways parkour is about to reenter the common lexicon tenfold#welcome back 2010#meme shit#but also#rant on how parkour civilization clearly doesnt accommodate for shit parkourists#however they exist and idk if its a skill issue but there clearly was like parkour librarians and shit so#in order for Champion EMF to truly do away with the tyranny of parkour civilization#he needs to create a way of advancing that... dare i say... isnt solely parkour?#but then that ruins the whole POINT of it being parkour civilization idk man#wheres the parkour healthcare. can people get injured or does the world magically keep people in tiptop shape despite starving the noobs#is the barrier truely just skill? does everyone have the same physical capabilities?#aka does every player have the same hardware? mouse sensitivity? processors?#i am rambling.#anyways im so glad none of those minecraft creators traverse these wretched grounds#these are ramblings of a mad man best kept contained

i think there's something really beautiful about carpenter distancing herself from the trawler man every chance she gets and still getting showered by miracles while faulker, oh he of strong convictions, gets to bring the miracle of the trawler man to everyone around him but never quite gets to ascend to glory himself. i just love that they're both perfectly poised to stare at each other and each think "your goals are backwards and your methodology is dumb and possibly sacrilegious" and then still end up as something close to friends
also let's talk about how, despite these dynamics, at the end of the day, the trawler man is really just trying to give each of them what they want from him.
MMM YEAH. carpenter being beloved by multiple gods despite being such an ornery bitch who wants NOTHING to do with their sacrificial bullshit..... it really gets me. as does faulkner's ongoing crisis of faith and spiral into Faithless Cult Leader (TM). SO GOOD.
perhaps only tangentially related, but.
i've been thinking a lot about faulkner killing roemont lately. i was surprised that roemont's death ended up Breaking My Fucking Heart -- a real testament to his voice actor!! the whole pathetic old man losing everything he's worked for really.... Got To Me. ough. "don't you recognize me?" OUGH.
but i've been thinking about it in the context of faulkner's crisis of faith, too. because like. faulkner Knows that roemont is faithful. he considers roemont a heretic for trying to legalize the worship of the trawler-man, but it's like....
i feel like. killing roemont was a test of the trawler-man that faulkner devised on purpose. because if roemont dies due to the prayer marks that faulkner scrawled, then there are two possibilities:
1. the trawler-man really IS furious that the high katabasians want to legitimize the faith; the trawler-man really IS on faulkner's side; this schism really IS necessary to keep the faith "pure," and faulkner has never done anything wrong;
OR
2. the trawler-man really IS nothing but a mouth. this isn't a god with a plan or with sentience or with feelings, this is just a living river that chews things up and spits them out, and it doesn't care for its followers at all. and if that's the case, then faulkner is betraying nothing by being a faithless cult leader lying repeatedly to his people.
faulkner is devastatingly clever and constantly being underestimated. but he's also completely alone in the world. and he's Desperate for any sign that the choices he's making are the right ones. and he can't find that sign in anybody close to him, because he keeps destroying the lives of those close to him. so he has to devise his own trials....
hrugh. my boy. my boy my boy my boy.
#replies#the silt verses#the silt verses meta#faulkner#carpenter#horrible godsaint trauma pals#i keep just thinking about like. the constant question of how much gods care and how much agency they have#how much of this worship is a social construct made by people and how much is natural to the world?#does it matter? is there a difference between those things?#as someone whose original fiction ALSO plays a lot with#'magic is real but the way it's perceived is based in social constructs'.... I FUCK WITH IT SO HARD.#and the silt verses is a piece of media that like... i end up having different thoughts every time i listen to it#so in a few days or weeks i might not even stand by this meta. i might have different thoughts/interpretations entirely!!#it's a different story every time i listen. it's SO GOOD.

fuckin. i still wish will didnt actually have encephalitis and had a mental illness bc the way s1 frames the possibility of him having a mental illness as the Worst Possible Outcome is so infuriating. i have no idea how one would write diagnosed psychotic will graham to be not offensive and also keeping in line with the message of the show but god will being psychotic is actually not as bad as dying from brain inflammation believe it or not
#but also...i was psychotic and if my symtoms never went away idk how bad id wanna live considering that was the#hardest thing ive ever been through#like. i would rather die of encephalitis#granted i had ZERO effective treatment offered to me during my psychosis and i was a child so maybe now itd be different#but every other piece of media demonizes the hell out of psychoTICS so having a good character who was psychotic#wouldve been fucking great#psychosis is hell but psychotics are awesome and my friends#again. no idea how this would work in the context of the show. but itd be cool#hanniblogging

very ironic that there have been several story beats throughout fontaine like "the melusines are often infantalized by people but they are fully autonomous beings who deserve respect" and then half of the fan base is like awe cute little melusine baby who is like a child and a kid and a baby who needs to be taken care of by other characters because they're like a human toddler 🥺. die.
#so so weird gives me the ick as the kids say. stop that.#ppl charactarizing sigewinne as a child/acting like she's other characters kid#when she literally says outright that ppl treat her like a kid and think she's stupid so she uses this to manipulate them. lmao.#they literally HAVE JOBS. THEY GET PAID AND GO TO WORK EVERY DAY. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.#I think many of the melusines we've met so far have been Naive#but that 1. doesn't mean they should be infantalized#and 2. reflects each characters specific circumstances not like. all melusines as a group of sentient beings#I know I am way too pressed about how a fictional race of ppl in a gacha game are being treated by strangers but it pisses me off#esp when the game is so outright in discouraging the exact thing that fans are doing#that always gets me in any piece of media when the message is so clearly against what fans are doing like. WERE YOU PAYING ATTENTION. DIE.#also like whenever there Are naive or 'childlike' melusines the game makes clear that they should still be treated w respect and autonomy#and that they still have skills and strengths regardless#and that being naive or innocent doesn't mean they aren't independent beings that are literally hundrends of years old#its just sooo ridiculous Especially when it comes to sigewinne#she is not neuvillette and wriothesleys kid she is a medical doctor who shot someone. what the fuck are you talking about#ghost posts#text#genshin

[cws: starvation/food insecurity, fantasy racism, psychiatric abuse, ableism, and Upsetting Pictures.]
-
one thing that fucks me up immensely about pericles before and after the asylum is how fucking skinny he is.
like. as much as obviously the two designs are Very Inconsistent in general which annoys me, look at him pre-timeskip. look at how he's shaped.
his head and face are way smoother and rounder, both in front and back, and the space between his cheekbones and his eyebrow ridge is filled in; his body is rounder in general and his belly is noticeably between his thighs when he's standing up; he has kind of a chubby butt; his chin and neck are softer and wider around, which you can really see with the width of the scarf compared to his shoulders and the angle where it meets his head. it comes up in front of his face more because there's not as much of an angle with his chin to hold it down.
now. compare all those things to this.
christ.
and like, you could argue some of these design differences are tiny things to zero in on in a show that's as loose with its models as sdmi is. but present-day pericles' design is pretty obviously supposed to be unsettling because he's physically built to be a Cute Roumb Little Mascot Creature--so much so that the framework has managed to stick around a little in spite of everything--and has become gaunt and haggard anyway. and you could also argue that the body type changes are just thanks to aging twenty years (and i don't doubt that's contributed).
except. he spent those twenty years in an asylum where the other inmates we see look like this.
christ.
(fun little fact that @thecottageinthedark pointed out also: remember how he literally got caught at one point because he couldn't stop eating sunflower seeds, even during a heist? a high-fat, high-calorie snack for birds? you know, exactly the kind of thing a starving person who finally has proper access to food would be wolfing down?)
(yeah.)
did i mention that this happened in a (fantasy) racially segregated prison, which is technically an asylum so the inmates can be kept there indefinitely, because in an actual prison you're required to have a sentence? did i mention that none of the human characters we see in human prison look any less healthy during or afterward, and on top of that are allowed to move around and socialize? did i mention the absolutely horrific treatment of the asylum inmates is implied to be despite the fact that the (physically abusive!) guard is playing up how dangerous and malicious they are? (you know. except for pericles 🙃)
did i mention the man who got pericles imprisoned--who he had not only done nothing to beforehand, but had helped--says he was there to 'live out the rest of his miserable parrot life in a cage, where he belonged,' and not only do none of the characters we're supposed to side with have anything to say about that, but the audience is clearly supposed to agree with him too?
(did i mention said man--who was in on the crime, singular, that pericles went to prison for!--spends those twenty years living a life of luxury in power while abusing the child he kidnapped as a baby and held hostage his entire life, and when we see him in prison he is not only chilling out and helping the authorities but reading a newspaper?)
did i mention the part where by the time we meet pericles he hasn't spoken in years?
like. man the 'ooooo scary evil abused asylum crazies' trope is bad enough, even when they pretend to lampshade it for a minute before playing it straight; i don't know how they added in All That and made him emaciated and expected no one to find it heartbreaking or even sympathetic. i don't care how bad he was before the asylum (and dear god was he ever), that is horrifying and no one deserves it. god damn.
#sdmi#professor pericles#scooby doo: mystery incorporated#the worldbuilding re: the talking animals in this universe is already really fucked up and awful#but everything to do with the asylum is one of the biggest things for me that shoves it over the edge from#'this aspect of the show is really disasteful and uncomfortable and i Don't Like It'#to 'wow this is actually really fucking upsetting i am straight up having to skip past scenes and/or take breaks when a detail comes up'#anyway pericles is a colossal piece of shit and also incredibly fucking tragic and i need more content that acknowledges and goes into that#and also due to Recent and Ongoing Life Experiences i am especially pissed these days about#'character loses a ton of weight and looks Haggard compared to before; because of that and in general' being associated with Evil Scary#especially when it's done to them in some way as *punishment* for being Evil#same energy as how badly it fucked me up as a kid to grow up constantly seeing#'villain has a horrifying spiraling mental breakdown because they're Pathetic and Evil'#in every fucking piece of media i engaged with!#anyway lol#the crit files#SDMItag#cws in post

Sometimes I suspect autism and then I immediately push it down into the gutter and forget that I could ever have it. Like why was I so shy my kindergarten teacher who was 70 at the time and had been doing it for about 40-50 years suspected something was wrong with how shy I was and only when my sibling came during parent teacher conferences did she think this kid is a Little Normal because at least I played with them 😭 why do I walk on my toes and pace around listening to the same song on repeat for 4 hours. Why do I SUCK at making conversation irl and freeze up and feel stuck like I can't do anything when people are watching me. What is wrong with my brain other than the fact that I'm mentally a little unwell
#personal#could it all be adhd? because I do suspect that after ........21 years of being undiagnosed and reaping no support whatsoever for it#like idk how I did well in school half the time I was too bored to actually fucking listen or it was physically painful#to have to sit in a chair for an hour and 20 minutes and listen to fuckijgb TALKING#or oh thats why I reread the same page 7 times before I can just barley understand the first sentence#maybe thats why I kept forgetting all my belongings in every room to the point teachers just knew#when there was a random item in their room it was mine from last period#thats why I just completely forget what I'm gonna say AS I'M FUCKING SAYING THE GOD DAMN SENTENCE#that's why I obsess over pieces of media to the point I feel empty bored and suicidal without something to worship for 3 years#till I'm bored again.

mha is like an estranged awkward father to me. i try not to make my connection to it obvious but i secretly care a lot about it (sometimes against what i desire) and when ppl talk serious shit about it i get defensive. like yea i understand that it's not the best series writing-wise, it's got a good amount of problems and that its mere connection to me makes me cringefail ... but i'll always find some sort of unexplainable comfort in its arms despite its flaws bc there's still a good amount of it to genuinely enjoy without a constantly ironic state of mind that all media must be critiqued with nowadays and i don't expect anyone to understand this odd relationship but myself
#every time i hear that mha fans are cringe and have bad taste i'm like well yeah. but also hey. watch it#like protecting my pathetic father who does not need protecting but i'll do it anyway bc it just feels like i should#it's not at all a horrible series the way everyone labels it and i think its popularity caused such a societal whiplash#like oh it's mainstream now! time to pick on every flaw it has and reduce it to typical shounen shit#without addressing its actually decent and sometimes stellar aspects#it is not as overwhelmingly enjoyed like certain anime i've gotten into lately but that's ok. i'm fine with that#it's a mid to mid-good series with good characters (with exceptions) and great artwork and ok storytelling#i remember when mha was super praised and considered incredible like 5 years ago .. lol how times change#anyway. just wanted to type this out bc i think mha fans get an unfairly bad rep sometimes for doing nothing all that out of the ordinary#just for having an interest in a not-very-enlightening piece of media#and that kinda sucks#also bc i started watching mob psycho and it's really fucking good LMFAOOOO#bnha#mha#becki rambles about stuff

Time for me to be completely changed as a person! *just watched falsettos*
#the klock keeps ticking#oh dude we’re so back oh its so back#how am i supposed to live my life after this how am i supposed to go on#its funny cuz ive seen this damn show actually a thousand times i know it forward and backwards#and i dont really cry ever in general and ive become so familiar with falsettos that i dont cry anymore#but it still has the ability to destroy some deep part of me every single time in a new way#I will stay firm in my belief that its the greatest piece of media ever made#if i ever get to see falsettos on broadway (pipe dream ik) like#thatd be it for me man like how the hell are you supposed to leave and drive home after that akdnsk#i cant remember the last time i watched either i think it mightve been like. when i first moved into my old apartment 😳#and ive gone through quite a bit of shit since then and im smarter. i think#so yeah it hit me very hard this time i always stick to something different#im very much wrecked about this fucking family lets just say that#lets just say ‘shes cooked for some 200 guests i know we’re not that many actually we’re 7’#really hit different this time KID DO YOU KNOW HOW PROUD I AM#DONT KNOW WHY BUT HE LOOKS LIKE MARVIN#so so good so lovingly written and performed so real and beautiful and tragic FUCKKKK#yeah basically prepare for me to write like 50 essays for a few days about all the characters every song every lyric every sound yeah#falsettos is probably deadass the reason im like this it shaped me so much#just like. the ending of tragedy that was so unexpected and unfair#and it looks at the fucking homophobic shits who preached all about this being just desserts for the perverted behavior#and it says ‘this man could’ve kept that unhappy heterosexual life and avoided all of this but he chose the one that killed him because#it made him feel like himself it made him happy despite how brief it was and hed choose this route in every universe’#just a piece of art that is so true to queerness i dont think anything else has instilled a sense of pride in me like falsettos has#the tight knit family marvin tries so hard to keep together is falling apart worse and worse with each attempt#but once marvin is happy and loves himself and is loved by others the family ends up growing and sticking together naturally#aaughhh yeah ahahaha yeah man everyone please love your friends so genuinely love yourself and keep going 🥰

Something I had to get off my chest. I know the people supposed to read this will never do since I’ve already blocked them all but you know.
I get not liking AUs and being upset that the majority of fandoms have turned into shipping and AUs so divorced from the source material it makes you wonder if they even like the source material to begin with but MAN for every AU out there there’s like ten more people liking the thing in the “right” way. Go follow them.
If in the year of our Lord 2024 if you still don’t know how to avoid shit you don’t like on the internet then it’s a skill issue my guy. Fuck you.
#bookmark'd#I am open to a conversation about how and why I made my AU#but you know these people don’t give a shit about that kind of topic#like do you think I approached the game with the intention of aging up the characters and make something original from the start??? no!!!#that came to me as I started caring about the game and the characters#AND ALSO#Isaac came out when I was 16#At the time nobody knew what the fuck it was about!!! you people eat too good with all the canon endings and shit!!!#we had to figure out shit for ourselves! theories were running wild!!!#and like only a couple of people had Tumblr/Twitter accounts and followed Edmund#so whatever he canonized about the game was shared by word of mouth#and the fact that Isaac was dead all along was still a fringe theory that nobody liked!!#because at the time all the ‘and the character was dead ALL ALONG and imagined everything’#was literally everywhere for every single piece of media#like Pokemon Rugrats Adventure Time etc. all of them#had a theory about how the protagonist is actually in a coma and is imagining everything it was a fucking meme!!#ugh I’m getting sidetracked#the point is#i love Isaac as a game and I’ve had headcanons and theories about it for decades at this point#and acting like I approached this game with the sole intention of aging up characters and shoving my shit into people’s faces#it sucks. it hurts me. where do you think my art and content comes from if not a place of love?

time to talk about well written female characters we cant be negative all the time
sorry account stalkers it is Not a leasebound character none of those characters are well written
its her <3
MY FAVORITE EVIL BUTCH LESBIAN
people take notes This is Taco. She is a Taco In season 1 she was the stupid random character. Sorta like Rocky BFDI?? Already this is great allowing your woman character to be gross and random and annoying this is one thing I love about object shows the character archetypes are pretty gender neutral
in the trailer for season 1, she befriends Pickle. They remain friends for much of the season. Pickle defends Taco, seems to understand her random phrases, and bonds deeply with her. There's hints throughout the season that there is something suspicious going on, though. For example, she injures his eye seemingly on purpose in the episode "Aquatic Conflict", after she reveals that she had arms the whole time, which she'd been hiding for most of the season.
Yeah uh turns out later on in the finale we learn that Taco was pretending to be stupid to further herself in the competition, and to be able to steal the million dollar prize. Her true personality is revealed to be a sort of fancy evil rich spy archetype. I love this so much. She also says here that she was never actually friends with Pickle. As we venture into season 2 though, this is shown to be a lie. Taco deeply regrets using Pickle, obsessively sending letters to him in apology. He never forgives her from any of these letters, as is his right. During season 2, Taco takes notice of someone else. Taco is not competing in the season, but she keeps her eye on the competition. She takes particular notice of Microphone, who feels alone compared to other contestants, being very loud and outgoing but never heard, and considered annoying by others. She sees someone she can "befriend"... in her own way, of course. She finds Mic, shows herself, and makes a deal with her to help her in the competition, for a split of the million if Mic wins.
Mic agrees to this, reluctant until she gets good results in the next episode. Taco has upheld her promise to help !ic in the game. Mic believes she has a good friend, though, the difference between Mic and Pickle is that Mic is much more quickly skeptical. At the same time, though, Mic does much worse things for Taco than Pickle has for her in the past. Her feelings on the matter are complex. On one hand, she wants to listen to Taco, because Taco has tangibly helped her and been a source of kindness and support, and, yes, for selfish reasons too. On the other hand, she clearly does not like many of Taco's tactics. While in our world, you could say that’s. Kind of bare minimum?? Like she doesn’t like Taco commiting crimes okay. In the object show world that’s oddly fucking moral 😭😭 since there’s some means of recovery in all object shows there’s at least Some Guys who think it’s ethical and partake in it like an average Friday activity. Anywho
In the episode "Alternate Reality Show", we get hints of Taco wanting to change. When the time machine portal opens and takes Lightbulb and Test Tube, Taco is shown to reach for the portal, looking very disappointed when it closes. Mic obviously wonders what the fuck that was about, but Mic dodges the question. She probably will never get the answer to this, honestly, and that KILLS me
Mic becomes worried soon that Knife is onto her and Taco. Though, Taco has history with Knife in season 1. Back then, he was a simple bully archetype. But, she hasn't watched hard enough, because he has changed. He still does things for himself, is still violent, and still self identifies as a jerk, but he isn't stupid. in the same episode as the time machine, his suspicions are confirmed as he follows Mic to one of her secret conversations with Taco.
The episode after this is one of my favorites; I love seeing both Mic and Taco just acting completely in their own self interest. They're so bad for each other I love it. Episode 13, "Mine Your Own Business", Mic and Taco try to recruit Knife now that he knows about them. Its pretty obvious he wasn't going to agree to this, though. "did my 'huh' make me sound interested??" Mic and Taco, throughout this whole thing, save Knife a couple of times in the danger of the cave they're in for the challenge, even securing his safety for him in the challenge. Rather than ally with them, he simply agrees not to tell anyone that Mic is working with Taco, though, this isn't for Taco at all.
Knife sees what is going on, and he doesn't like it. Another situation with Pickle, who he was close with just like Taco, but more legitimately, obviously. I think about this SO MUCH. In spite of the fact they were both acting out of selfishness, Knife is able to see what is happening and, rather than acting in his own interest and spilling the secret, he keeps it to himself to protect Mic, someone he doesn't interact positively with much before episode 11. I LOVE MY GIRL. MY SILLY SCHOOLYARD BULLY BUTCH LESBIAN. I LOVE YOU KNIFE. Anyway so Taco isn't exactly happy still. Episode 14 is gonna show her being fucking CRAZY. Taco is gonna become desperate to keep Mic on her side, and keep their coup safe.
The challenge derails into saving Fan from abduction by an alien ship, one that MePhone and most of the cast think is driven by the main antagonist, Steve Cobs, rather than the alien species, the Prime Shimmer, who was actually genocided by Cobs in the past, and trying to get one of their youth back from Earth, which Fan was unknowingly in possession of. Taco forms a horribly violent strategy, but repeatedly reassures Mic its going to be for the greater good. However, it results in her knocking out Fan, killing Test Tube, and in Mic bringing Fan down from the ship, pretending to have saved him. The contestants who were once annoyed by her cheer for her, but when Test Tube is recovered, she is rightfully angry, but nobody believes her. Taco’s words to Mic through her gain in this reflect her subconscious selfishness.
“See? This is why you listen to me, Mic. Delectable, isn’t it? Finally, a chance for some recognition, finally, I can finally—“
Microphone interrupts
“is that what you said to Pickle??”
I LOVE TACO’S WORDS HERE SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA. THERES SO MUCH DOUBLE MEANING HERE?? We don’t know what “I can finally” means in this context… I can finally win?? I can finally be noticed?? I can finally have a friend?? THE LINE DELIVERY TOO. LIKE. FUUUUCK SHE SOUNDS SO DESPERATE??

Top 10 saddest anime breakups
SMALL ASIDE I love the amount of characters in ii and other object shows who in spite of their gender are voiced by another gender, with minimal editing. I LOVE THE GENDER AMBIGUITY OF OBJECT SHOWS. Y’all I’m so close to going off the deep end and adopting an object kin label.
ANYWAY.
MIC’S SIDE OF THIS SAYS SO MUCH TOO??
“I thought I gained a friend. Turns out, I gained nothing.”
THE FUCKING. SYMBOLISM WITH THE GAIN. HOW ITS BOTH SYMBOLISM AND A SHITTY DUMB ASS PUN YALL THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER.
AND. AND!!! THE FACT THAT THE GAIN JUST FUCKING SHOWED UP IN EPISODE 10. KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW NOW??? OOOOOOUGH HOLY SHITFUCK
THE GAIN IS LIKE. BOTH THE TOOL MIC IS HURT THROUGH AND THE MEANS SHE HAS TO FACILITATE THAT PAIN. PEOPLE SKIM OVER II2 13 TOO MUCH IN THIS FANDOM. TACOMIC BEING MUTUALLY HORRIBLE HURTS SO GOOD.
Anyway I’ve been typing this post in drafts on and off for 5 fucking days ii 15 and ii 16 analysis coming soon
#angelicmelon#leasebound#leaseboundweek2024#using my usual idiot Leasebound tags for some fucking reason#Sunny hopefully: oh wait this is how this person acts with every fucking piece of media they attach themselves to (neutral)#he just hates the one I like in particular#Cool#Youtube

me watching the 254th haikyuu tiktok skit on my fyp today
#every single line is a “he would not fucking say that” moments#yet i still hold hope that at some point. just maybe. MAYBE the media literacy will kick in#and they'll start saying shit that's actually in character#like.. how do you take the absolute PEAK piece of fiction that is haikyuu. and make a skit that is so unbelievably garbage#i get it. not everything needs to be canon. skits are for fun.#BUT PLEASE KEEP THE CHARACTERS IN CHARACTER.#lord.. i saw one last night where tsukishima forgot yamaguchi's name.#and i was like “omg is this like a memory loss au” but no it was just. tsukishima just fucking forgot because yamaguchi's 'always behind him#IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE DOES TSUKISHIMA KEI FORGET YAMAGUCHI'S NAME#YAMAGUCHI IS HIS RIDE OR DIE ARE WE SERIOUS?#if tsukishima doesn't fw someone he doesn't hang out with them. that's common sense i fear#so even if it's not written out in bold red blinking text that tsukishima and yamaguchi are besties -#- it's HEAVILY FUCKING IMPLIED that they are besties#yamaguchi isn't just there to tag along. dude's hating WITH tsukki#tsukki is hating and yama is hating HARDER i am firm believer in this#volleyball guys
