adam absolutely does also see snow through this entire sequence (there are still snowflakes amid the feathers, they're rendered differently - particularly visible over his hair - and it's there again in the shot of his eye behind his mask after the angel shot)

SNOW alias Confirming that Reki is Langa's SOULMATE

Why Langa got that name? yess because people see him as "rookie with blue-eyes n hair (color) like the snow" the given name is how everyone see Langa's outward appearances.

and they also somehow figured out Langa was a snowboarder by looking at his skating stance, positions and posture, it also got confirmed by Cherry who said it out loud, that's something everyone see with naked eyes.

The Snow❄️ itself is something very close to home for Langa, he literally grew up surrounded by it. I dare say it was (still) part of him, something very personal and intimate. Snow is the first thing that makes his heart beating,

it has become his AURA/energies it's a part of LANGA's SOUL

And what did Reki saw?? Unlike everyone, he saw WHITE SNOW FALLING

(comic translated by Kudouusagi)

For references

Everyone saw the explosion from shadow's bomb, giving off an illusory fireworks display.

But

For Reki it turned into snow,

Reki saw Langa's SNOW, i.e., LANGA's AURA

NOT even Ad*m could see it, Adam FAILED to see the ❄️snow, what he saw was never a 'Snow' it was a fallen feathers, his illusion of Eve

(but i still need further Confirmation from next chapter of SK8 manga)

ONLY REKI COULD SEE LANGA's AURA, NO ONES COULD SEE LANGA's SOUL LIKE REKI DID.

REKI CONNECT WITH LANGA ON SPIRITUAL LEVEL.

THIS IS SOULMATE THINGS!!!

i don't remember if i ever uploaded this silly edit i made but how about those sports anime with flamenco songs named after a greek word for love huh

(the first minute and 19 seconds are entirely unaltered, i cut several seconds of characters talking after that to make the ending match up but the main part is unedited)

I just realised that all the media I adore has some level of autistic/neurodivergent coding and it's been that way since I was a child.

And like, oftentimes their different way of perceiving and being in the world is the driving force of the story/and or a crucial element in it.

There’s the canon example of the entire Camp Halfblood (ADHD), where the ADHD is literally what keeps the characters alive.

There's Dean Winchester (ADHD) whose hyperfixations are typically masculine (as well as geeky) and who never sits still, with the added bonus of Castiel (Autism), who Dean just... accepts, in a way I rarely see.

Then there’s the infamous Will Graham (Autism) whose hyperempathy is litterally the focal point of the entire narrative.

We have Haru from Free! (Autism), whose special interest (swimming) is the motivating factor for several other characters.

Reki and Langa from Sk8 the infinity (Autism), who share a special interest and grow a special bond because of it.

There's Sai from Hikaru No Go (Autism), who trancedented time and space to play Go (special interest) and whose special interest sets the story into motion.

We have any version of Sherlock Holmes (AuDHD), who's brilliance I attribute to a mixture of hyperfixations and special interest in crime solving. His conflicts with society and disregard of social norms are a central theme as well.

There's Anne with an E (Autism), who loves words and stories and speaks before she thinks (where all major problems arise due to her lack of understanding for social norms)

We have Pat and Pran from Bad Buddy (ADHD + Autism), like I dunno, I just really felt that vibe.

There's Beth Harmon from Queen's Gambit (Autism) with her special interest in Chess.

And like, the list goes on: Daryl Dixon, Jon Snow, Kotaro from Kotaro Lives Alone, Will Treaty from the Ranger's apprentice, Hal from the same author, Katniss Everdeen, Si-eun from Weak Hero Class 1, etc.

Don't get me wrong I've consumed plenty of stories without characters coded this way, but all the stories that truly resonated with me? Neurodivergent, all of them.

It's probably because the focus on social norms/hierarchy always seemed foreign to me. Eg. I like Skam but it's like a view into a completely foreign world where people function differently.

Yall ever think about how every character from every series, movie, book etc started as ocs? Hell techincally they are still ocs.

i was curious to check because i remembered cherry's board got redesigned in the blu-ray edits, but there is still a good amount of blue on the board! (actually a slightly darker blue, too... i'm still not sure it's a very close match for the blue on joe's necklace, but it definitely got closer in color in the blu-ray than it originally was)

Ok sk8 speculation time:

I was wondering what joes necklace was and then I looked at it and thought it’s probably a piece of a skateboard. You can tell because of the layered looking shit on the side.

Skateboard jewelry above for comparison. Then I was thinking who’s skateboard? The colour is blue, so hear me out:
