"You're special, Ikuya," he murmurs, gently, absentmindedly rubbing my fingertips in his, my heart in my throat. "You're taking on the world alongside Haru and them."
He pauses, seemingly conflicted about how he should continue; whether he should continue.
Slowly, as if waiting to see if I would pull away, retreat, he lifts both of our hands to touch his lips to my fingers, eyes fluttering shut.
My breath stutters, and stops; air becomes unimportant as I stare at where our skin meets, uncomprehending.
"Sometimes," he continues, voice somehow even softer than before, "sometimes, I can't help but wonder if I can do anything for you. If I should even be by your side."
He lets out a quiet laugh; resigned, defeated. (I hated it - he wasn't supposed to sound like that.)
"Because, well – I'm normal, y'know?"

i should have never read the translated original high speed novels cause now i'm pissed at the exclusion of the female characters who probably have equal or greater screen (page?) time than some of the boys who did make it into free!, and got completely shafted in favor of the ones who were never in the novels at all. because kyoani would sooner create whole new original characters from scratch than let girls in the pool

Free! The Final Stroke Part 2 Thoughts
I love rewatching Free! The Final Stroke Part 2 because I am a really slut for SouHaru content. Like they didn’t even need to put so many interactions between Sousuke and Haru but they did and I am so thankful!
Like the way Sousuke is constantly watching out for Haru and always finding/ guarding him when he is at his most vulnerable is so important to me! 😭
And because he is so no nonsense with people you know he would not tolerate anyone treating Haru badly! He was even threatening Kinjou about not doing anything weird to Haru when Haru was passed out on the bench.
I am just a real sucker for that dynamic and when I tell you I HATE the fact that Sousuke carried Haru and we did NOT GET TO SEE IT! I feel robbed almost! And the height difference 😮‍💨
But yeah to make a long story short I ship SouHaru and I love the fact that there are moments in the movie. I was definitely fed!

i think what pisses me off the most about the ending of free! is how like. in s3 we got all this stuff about these top swimmers who “had to give something up” in order to get as good as they are, and a lot of the time that translated to either making themselves cold, hard, and mean, or totally isolating themselves from any friends or loved ones. but haru is swimming for his friends. that’s what gives him strength. it’s what we’ve been told again and again. he swims because he wants to, because it’s fun, and because he enjoys the memories he makes with his friends while doing it
but. i feel like they didn’t give any sort of actual resolution to the “you’ll have to give something up” storyline. like, unless i just forgot but??? that feels like a very important thing?? that they would make the Main Point of it all? and like, i guess it was, bc it was about haru isolating himself and then making up with his friends in the end and swimming one final relay, but like ?? it was so sloppy?
bc like, in the end, haru still isolated himself off screen to go to rehab. he still basically gave up his friends. and swimming that relay didn’t even make him stronger or whatever. like they won i guess, but he still collapsed after. so it’s still not enough to make him strong enough to compete
and like. didn’t even really address it with kaede and albert either. like albert pushed back against his coach finally, but ? can we see him having fun with friends like he so badly wanted to in s3? can we see kaede be nicer and acknowledge that he was miserable by himself being a snarky loser all the time? can we see them all go “hey, winning and competing isn’t everything. it’s all about love and friendship.” instead it just... literally felt like nothing
there was almost no emotional weight to fs2 imo. it was just so... lackluster? even when haru and rin reunited and had that race on the rooftop pool... that should’ve been a tearjerker, right? but it was NOT !!!
there should have been a big overwhelming realization on haru’s part. we should’ve had to stew in it for 20 minutes of screen time where he’s miserable and spiraling and chiding himself for being like this, getting lost without his friends, not understanding why it’s all so hard, not understanding why he’s not better even though he gave something up like those other swimmers! why isn’t he as good as them when he did everything the same as them!!
just !! come on !!! fuck !!! it could have been soooo so so good, but it just. there were no loose ends that were properly tied. all of the big emotional parts of the story were jammed into 3 minutes and pushed off-screen. can we have a do-over please

im so in love with this image because it looks like haru is deathly ill and must be carried to the ocean imminently to die in peace but he literally just got put there bc he fell asleep after a competition. like he just fell asleep. hes just a sleepy bitch. its like that scene from the bee movie where they put a bee in his own hospital bed. like when they put spongebob in an ambulance for slipping on an ice cube. except haru even has his 3 weed smoking boyfriends standing at his side like theyre stricken war wives waiting for their beloved to wake from his coma. but the coma is just that he fell asleep after a competition. for like an hour. imagine waking up from a nap and finding out youve been delicately carried to the emergency infirmary by a bara babe and your boyfriends have been here the whole time watching over your emo childhood trauma nap
