「まこと」の道

　「法華文��」は法華経の真意を伝えようとする目的で書かれたが、それは次のように理解されよう。およそこの世界は一瞬もとどまることなく変貌をつづけてゆく。人の命もわからない。しかし、遠い過去からはるかな未来へかけてつらぬく真理がある。これを「まこと」と賢治はいう。まことを知り、その道を正しくゆくものは、永遠に生きるといえる。

Okay, I think this is happening -- I've been drawn in and I'm now rewatching The Prince of Tennis.

Thoughts on Episodes 2 through to 6 below.

Ep 2 - Samurai Junior

Inoue appears! This guy is so important for the audience as he explains so much tennis teminology to us (at Shiba's expense, whoops) but the fact that he works for a (presumably) well-known tennis magazine yet spends so much time covering the middle school scene is... odd. Like, he's there for the entirety of Seigaku's ranking tournament? What about the other Kanto schools?

HE TALKS ABOUT NANJIROU and says how Nanjirou 'might have even won the Grand Slam'. To my memory, Nanjiroh was one match away from becoming World No. 1 (is that possible without winning a slam?) but suddenly quit because, y'know. The boy.

Ryoma does this lil glower after the first time he meets Momo and it's so funny, lol

Ryoma's contrary nature is RIDICULOUS. Arai demands that the freshmen introduce themselves, which the Ichinen Trio do, but Ryoma? Just stands there. Like, CHILD. He asked for your name! these are not state secrets!

So of course, we have the whole thing with Arai trying to con the freshmen and Ryoma gets pretty mad about Arai trying to fleece the freshmen -- he gets pretty heroic (?) about the whole thing and, with it, very bratty: "If I hit the can 100x, do I get 100,000 yen?"

Then Momo is there and it really seems like he just wants to beat Ryoma up!

Rather adorably, Horio umpires the Ryoma v. Momo match. When Ryoma's about to serve, the Triple Counter OST starts playing (I really don't remember any of the titles from the OST -- except Yuugure -- but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean). It's very cool.

Tomo-chan sees Ryoma serve ONCE and calls him Ryoma-sama -- MY GIRL.

And then we get our first Nanjiroh appearance! And it turns out that he even has an umpire's chair at the temple, so? Who is umpiring his games against Ryoma? Nanako? RINKO??

Ryoma also tells the Ichinen Trio that he learnt to play tennis at a temple. Um. Ryoma is a big liar because he has only lived in front of said temple for about 5 minutes. What a DORK. In the best way!

(The temple is absolutely gorgeous by the way.)

Ep. 3 - The Seigaku Regulars Make Their Debut!

Man -- so we see Sakuno and Tomo-chan in one of the classrooms overlooking the courts and they comment on how cool the team is -- and then the camera pans up to Tezuka who's on the floor above, watching silently and I just enjoyed that so much. Like, at this stage, Tezuka is a bit of a mystery, so it's so fun!

Then Horio brags about how strong Momo is and Ryoma spends an eternity tying his shoelaces. Many moons ago (we're talking about 15 years ago, at least), I read this blog post about how much screentime is dedicated to Ryoma TYING HIS LACES and, honestly, I've never been able to get that post out of my head. Truly incredible stuff.

Guhhh I hate the obsession with heirarchy at Seigaku... Hyoutei and Rikkaidai are a heck of a lot more flexible, whoops.

Oishi! Beloved Oishi! Until he gets to the courts, the freshmen are just running around doing Tasks -- then Oishi arrives and tells them to practice playing because he wants them to get a good feel for the way things run at Seigaku. And it's so heart-warming! Oishi recognises that these kids are there because they want to have fun and he does these little things throughout the early eps to build camaraderie -- like when the freshmen are cheering for Seigaku in episode 8 or 9, Oishi teases, "Freshmen, we can't hear you!" and it's just... wow. Oishi's not there to pull rank: he's there to encourage the team. Tezuka honestly could not have had a better VC.

(I'm honestly just loving this so much... everyone's regarding Ryoma as this potential problem and sussing him out and being in this privileged position of knowing how much this team will grow to love him -- and how much he'll grow to love them -- is really special. It's really incredible to see this journey again.)

Arai behaves like a dork, gets scolded by Tezuka and told to run laps, questions this, and is then told to run more laps. Ryoma just dutifully runs his laps without any argument (the slight contradictions in his personality are so funny -- like he will sometimes rail against authority and, at other times, just accept it without question).

Come to think of it... Ryoma and Gon Freeccs get pretty similar treatment, I think, in that we don't get a look-in at their literal thoughts? Compare that to how often we're in Killua's head, for example, or Inui's or Oishi's or whoever's and... it's a very interesting way of storytelling.

Eps 4 & 5 - The One Named Viper & Snake Shot

AND SO, THE RANKING TOURNAMENT IS UNDERWAY.

Man, there are so many girls watching the ranking tournament? The tennis club is so popular lol

WE SEE RINKO FOR THE FIRST TIME. Of course, her face isn't shown, but!! She's there!

Ryoma's match against Kaidoh is a lot of fun. Momo's on standby to provide commentary to the Ichinen Trio (and they correctly determine that he's so knowledgeable about Kaidoh's playstyle on account of having lost to Kaidoh, which is hilarious). Ryoma impresses everyone by pulling off his own version of the Snake Shot -- the Buggy Whip Shot! -- and phew, good stuff. There's a lot of technical tennis talk.

(I hate how Kaidoh hurts himself at the end of the match. Both Kaidoh and Sanada need to be seen by school counsellors or something.)

I love seeing Ryoma get squashed by the Ichinen Trio -- he looks slightly bewildered, haha.

Ep 6 - That Man, Echizen Nanjirou

OOFT, probably my favourite episode so far! Nanjirou has become my second favourite in The Prince of Tennis (no prizes for guessing my favourite) and this episode is wonderful.

Inoue barges over to the Echizen house and ends up playing a game with Nanjirou -- the stipulation is that Nanjirou will only answer Inoue's questions if Inoue manages to get a point past him. Despite this, Nanjirou ends up telling Inoue a lot: he explains that he quit his pro career because playing with the 'impudent' Ryoma is a heck of a lot more fun than playing his pros and geez, Nanjirou loves his son SO MUCH. Nanjirou also explains that Ryoma's tennis style is currently identical to his and, to go further, there are some things Ryoma has to achieve. We get to see some of Nanjirou's skill.

The only question Nanjirou doesn't answer is when Inoue suggests that Ryoma's being trained to go pro. Nanjirou's pretty dismissive of this idea (AND WE KNOW WHY! YAHOO!).

Ryoma has a conversation with Sakuno and says that he doesn't know when he started playing tennis -- it's been part of his life for as long as he can remember and he couldn't quite even if he wanted to because there's something he has to do. So, once again, this episode sets up one of the major themes/conflicts of The Prince of Tennis.

(It turns out that the temple is behind the Echizen's house! Nanako -- the sweetheart -- explains that the monk is currently on a retreat and that Nanjirou just made a court without permission. This is one interaction I desperately want more information on.)

So... yeah. I'm genuinely having a whale of a time.

[monn-chan]

Ok heres a more serious tier list.

Ranking my favorite Tenipuri characters based on how I'm emotionally attached to. This is just for fun.

NUMBER ONE: 👑

• Ryoma Echizen: the ultimate tennis boi that I will forever be attached and invested to. He's an introverted athlete who can challenge any opponent without any fear. Literal inspiration to me 😭 best boi! HE STAYS #1

OTHER FAVES:

• Sanada: hes so responsible, strict, and commanding.

• Akutsu Jin: I LOVE how he's menacing in tbe early anime. The fact that he got character development in the OVA made me so happy (the dude got chosen by Sanada! BEST PAIR) hes pretty realistic when he handles his internal struggles

• Atobe: Do I need to say anything. He's the best sugar daddy tennis player 👑👑👑

• Kirihara: one of my favorite dudes. He's menacing but became a fun boi later on. Still loved his tennis style. Really aggressive!

• Ryoga: the 2005 movie where he met Ryoma again made me shed tears. He's the hot caring older brother who eats oranges. He'a ranked a bit low since I prefer Ryoma 😂

• Ryuzaki Sakuno: Placing her here since she's one of my favorites. She's an introvert student who is selfless and always gives Ryoma support! Shes great.

• An Tachibana: Fiesty tennis player with SPUNK! Pure badass street tennis player.

B TIER

• faves that caught my attention.

C TIER

• these are the characters that are ok but didn't caught my eye most of the time. And yeah, tezuka is in this row lmao

D TIER

• mmm yeah I forget about them

• placing horio here lol

[smilingangel582]

Long time no seee how r u all darlings!

This year is a pretty harsh year but we can all make it through with love and laughter!

By laughter I mean tickles!!! Geeheee

Sooo, I haven't watched any new animes except for jigokuraku and oshi no ko. Well they are still updating new episodes and I might wrote something on them soon a little later.

This fic now is to indulge me. U guys might find it irritating.... sowwyyy

Yh yh, I'm writing this.... cuz I just finished it. I will be writing a genshin next time. But I haven't had ideas in a while... I got a big demand for kinnporsche too! Will do as u please, dear fandoms!

Warning spoilers alert! If you watched Prince of Tennis, then pls proceed with caution... this is cute!

Fuji's plan (sus)

It's always Momo-senpai and Eji-senpai that's been getting on his nerves. (Senpai is a term for seniors - in case some didn't know)

If he were to draw a comparison, it would be his immature father. He sighed, wondering if he was actually related to him... but he wondered if his senpais were actually Najiroh's kids... they bear an annoyingly vast similarity.

Ryoma Echizen found both Kaidou-senpai and Tezuka buchou (captain) similar - mostly buchou while Kaidou was just frightening. However, right now, he was at a loss when everyone agreed to a silly game mentioned by Fuji, unsurprisingly. He hadn't known until they started planning behind his back.

Eji's tone was puzzled, "Eh...? Lighten up Ochibi (meaning kiddo or shorty - a term of endearment)?"

Fuji said with a cool demeanour, "Mn, ever since the kantou tournaments, he's been tensed... so I really wanna see a bubbly sweet side of him"

Momoshiro gave prolonged his thoughts now. Then realised it was a good idea as he hadn't seen Echizen in such a situation. He had always been stoic like Tezuka.

"Well..." Fuji spoke up again as if he read Momo's mind "I tried this on Tezuka but... that will make us run laps... so my first thought was Echizen... even Kaidou agreed with me"

Turning to the viper kid, he glared but was unable to hide the blush of embarrassment. "Fshhhh! I want to know that brats weakness and humiliate him, I don't care about him"

Inui pushed his glasses, now having an eerie grin, which made the rest of the regulars feel uneasy. "It's good for my data... hehe"

Tezuka, on the other hand, had been eavesdropping. He turned to Oishi and then back at Echizen, destroying the second years with his serves.

Silently having a slight earnest to find out the hidden side of Echizen, he turned away. "If this goes too far, make them run twenty laps"

Oishi smiled inwardly, "Even he's got a soft side for the kohais (juniors the opposite of senpai)." he watched Tesuka, who was probably trying to observe from the background, while watching the freshmen pick up balls again.

"He said t-that...?" Kawamura stammered now, surprised by what Oishi said, the other third year shrugged with a tilted smile.

"Initiate plan... loosening up Echizen. " they silently made nods of agreement to go up against the youngest regular.

Beginning with Eji, who suddenly reached for Ryoma after his warm up Horio.

"O-chi-bi-chan~!"

Ryoma was startled, but it was a calm reaction when he felt arms from behind now ruffling his hair.

"O-Ow ow... senpai... stop that"

"Caaan't! I wanna play with you, kiddo!"

Ryoma sighed inwardly, "If its a match u want....let's do it..."

"Nooo!" Eji tightened his grip, now removing the cap, "play with you!"

Instead of being embarrassed, he was annoyed, Fuji sensed this and signed to Oishi. This time, seeing how Oishi dragged a whining-Eji by the collar made Fuji smile as he rubbed his chin with his hand. "fuuhuu... this will be interesting"

Kawamura heard Momo whisper now, "why is everything Fuji-senpai say that I get chills"

"Trust me, I do too" shivered the split-personality guy.

It was when Inui came up with jokes as Ryoma was stretching his limbs, made him realise his seniors were planning something. He was intuitive to see how they were huddled in a group now, watching him too closely even without him playing a match.

"Mattaku (jeez), what is wrong with them?"

What's stranger was when Tezuka was ignoring this slacking off technique. Was he in on this scheme? What were they planning?"

"Ne, Echizen... what do you call a fish with no eye?"

"I heard that one before, Inui-senpai"

Pushing his glasses, he crossed the joke from his notebook "Mission failed..."

Eji pouted from a distant. "Mou! Why is Ochibi being so difficult, nya?" (Note that nya is a cat term this guy uses, as an onomatopoeia ~plus its super cute).

Momo cracked his fingers... "Alright, time for me to be a big brother..."

Fuji's eyes opened now, serious "What are you doing Momo?"

"Some childish technique that worked on guys like him..."

"Oh really... is this effective to break me?"

"Ye...." Before Momo could reply with confidence, he falters when Echizen was already there, folding his arms and looking unimpressed by this. Fuji chuckled into his hand. "Oopse"

"Ehhh...hee ahem! Echizen what...?" Momo tried to laugh it off but Ryoma was already seeing it through, shaking his head in disapproval he snapped "We got few days for the nationals and this is how you guys waste time? Sorry for being disrespectful but..."

"Ochibi, you need to lighten up!" Eji pounded his head gently, making the youngest look up with confusion as he felt his cap being taken off again.

"Oi!" Turning his back to the rest as he turned to Eji, he calmly stated in a stern tone "why are my senpais this childish"

Momo snickered now, seeing the opportunity to attack, "I'll show you childish, brat!"

"I know I say that, but -gah! Wahahat?"

Surprised, even Fuji hadn't been prepared for Momo to resolve this in this way. He smiled mischievously, "ne, Echizen you were saying?"

"Cuhut thehe crahahap... ahaa Shihit!"

"Echizen, mind your language!"

He was surprised to see the captain in front folding his arms in a slightly serious manner not fitting the circumstances at hand.

"Buhuhuchohohohu??? Ahahahare yohohohou ihihin Ohohon thihihis?" He struggled for words when Momo hit a sensitive spot on the backs of his ribs and Eji held his arms in a strong hold.

"I have noticed your tone against seniors. Consider this a lesson on manners,"

Ryoma lowered his head with shocked giggles, it made Inui snicker in excitement "The ribs are more effective than the sides... the higher ribs increases his laughter in a jolt... that means... the probability of Echizen weak in the armpits is 97.99%"

Widening his eyes in shock, he kicks his heels on the ground. Eji had Fuji help to restrain his arms higher, it was not hard since Ryoma is small in contrast to the seniors.

"Now, now Echizen, let us hear your giggles..." Fuji's icy voice sent shivers down Ryoma's spine. He couldn't help but unwillingly oblige.

"Teehehee W-whoohoho's gihihigglihihing??? Ohohohoiii! Ehehehehenough!" He began to blush when Fuji's teasing voice became more effective as Momo attacked his armpits. Eji happened to leave his spot and take over his knees.

This made Ryoma shriek out and grasp the attention of the other players, including the freshmen trio "E-eh? Is that Ryoma-kun?"

Kashiro smiled uneasily, "U-un, mn... it looks so... I never seen him like this"

Horio, on the other hand, snickered with a satisfied hum. "Even the great Seigaku freshman regular has a weakness"

"AHAHA NOHOHO! EHEHEJII-SEHEHENPAII!"

Inui grinned, now scribbling on his notebook as fast as Momo scribbling his ribs. "Bingo, Eji..."

Fuji was competitive now, slightly scanning an approachable area, he reacted by massaging his right shoulder where its reachable while pulling his arm to expose him.

His laughter suddenly reached a pitch that was an octave higher, "Jackpot..."

"As expected of Fuji..."

Tezuka folded his arms, seeing how he couldn't keep his facade any longer, "ten more minutes and go back to practice, I'll go meet Ryuzaki sensei" he added sternly to them, "If it doesn't stop there, everyone will run twenty laps"

"Hai, hai Buchou!" Fuji smirked cheerfully, "How far can Echizen-kun take without begging?"

"Nahahahaa ihihihin yohohour dreheheheheams!" He managed to stick his tongue but also collapse into another bought of laughter. Fuji hummed menacingly, "Are you sure... because I just started"

Ryoma's golden eyes widened with shock when he felt the finger on his neck slide to his collarbone, he arched his back now twisting to the side and managing to overthrow the powerhouse Momoshiro.

"Uha! Careful Echizen!" Momo got off but then watched the third years following Echizen's movements, mercilessly pulling him into hell.

"I never seen a persistent Fuji, even during matches?"

Kawamura's words made Kaidou nod too, though he was also blushing like Echizen, his thoughts messing with him, Dammit, why is Echizen so cute? That stupid punk!

"AAHAHA WAHAHAHAIT SEHEHEHENPAII! NOHOHOT THEHEHREE!"

A sudden jolt that made Echizen narrolwly miss a kick Fuji in the face, made him turn on his back and embrace his middle with a gasp.

He was like a child, Fuji seemed to have won the game this time. Eji cooed now, grabbing his wrists to pin them to the sides to help Fuji. "Awww, Ochibi's ears are ticklish!"

Momo widened his eyes when Fuji grinned with a glint of sadism "Found~ it~"

"Gah! AHAHA PLEHEHEASE PLEHEHEHEASE IHIHIHI BEHEHEG YOHOHOU!"

Inui clapped now, "We officially put the cocky rookie down a peg"

"Ma, Echizen-kun is cute like this...ne Eji?" (BTW, this 'ma' is something japanese people use, idk the meaning, but Fuji uses it all the time)

"Right? He's so adorable"

"Ehehenough! Cuhuhut ihit out plehehease!"

Finally easing the torment, the youngster remained where he was, hands over his eyes, the blush still visible on his cheeks and the tips of his ears.

"Who knew your ears were this bad, nice Fuji" Momo said slightly amazed, "though you sort of won the game, it was my idea..."

"Hn, yes it's both our win"

"I hahate yohohu, seehenpai-tachi!" (Senpai tachi is a plural form)

They laughed and Oishi sighed in relief "Thankfull we finished before seven minutes"

"So it only took eight minutes to break him," Kaidou hissed, "Fshhh! So weak"

"Shut up!" A tired Echizen snapped rebelliously but squeaked when Fuji poked him in the stomach, "Manners... remember why you got in this situation,"

"W-w... Mada mada dahahahanee! HEHEHEY!" Fuji reached to poke him more and try to tease him with a sneer "Say that again, and I'm ready for round two, even if it means running laps"

Seeing how they were serious, Ryoma growled with irritation, looking away from them.

"Fine, fine! Let's practice. " he took his cap and shyly put it back, now seeing how he was clearly embarrassed by the non-regulars. The seniors laughed at the super freshmen plight and went back to practice as assigned by the captain.

Speaking of Tezuka, the captain stood above from the window, smiling softly at the sight below.

"Be Seigaku's pillar Echizen... with your seniors"

Изложбата на Бистра Льошевалие е за доброто, което ще победи, Въпреки

Националната галерия продължава своята мисия и политика да запознава публиката с автори от български произход, получили професионално признание извън границите на страната. Бистра Льошевалие /на снимката/ е сред малцината съвременни концептуални творци с международно присъствие. Ретроспективната експозиция представя за първи път у нас изкуството на авторката.Написа за „въпреки.com” изкуствоведката и куратор на изложбата Яна Братанова.

Свободата е първостепенен код за Бистра Льошевалие. Първите ѝ композиции – „Полет на птици“ (1964), емблематичната серия „Прозорци“ („Блокиран прозорец“, „Изгорял прозорец“, „Бял прозорец“) и „Болни столове“ от 1970-те са израз на нейното непреодолимо желание да бъде свободна. Създаденото от Бистра Льошевалие е мощна машина за полет над ограниченията.

"Изгорели прозорци"

Творбите на художничката са изградени едновременно от естествени и промишлени материи. Тя използва гипс, комбиниран с дърво, слама и стъкло, на които придава особена изтънченост. Борави умело с хартия, смола, каучук, чугун, олово, лят алуминий и бронз, полиестер, неопренова гума, огледална повърхност, плат, въжета и други с помощта, на които осъществява своите сънища и идеи. Трансформира материята с плавни преходи от обем към плоскост и обратно с вродена способност за търсене на нови форми.

"След"

В Националната галерия пристигаха знакови скулптури, обекти, рисунки и инсталации от ателието на Бистра Льошевалие и колекцията на Fonds de dotation„Enseigne des Oudin“ в Париж. Сред включените емблематични серии е и непоказваната мащабна инсталация „След“ (2024), ��зцяло съобразена с пространствените характеристики на изложбената зала. Скулптурните форми, издигащи се на височина от 2,5 м, символизират бъдещето – онова „ново, светло начало, което винаги излиза над разрухата“, за което авторката пише в текста си „Синята планета“.

Бистра Льошевалие е родена в София през 1933. След 1944 баща ѝ изчезва безследно. В началото на 1950-те тя е приета в Националната художествена академия. По време на следването си е отстранена, като ѝ е отказан достъп до учебното заведение. Решена да продължи образованието си с надеждата баща ѝ да се върне и да види скулптурите ѝ, Бистра Льошевалие завършва специалността „Скулптура“ през 1962. Тези години определя като „черен период“ в живота си.

Бистра Льошевалие ателието си

От средата на 1960-те се установява във Франция, където започва да излага активно в редица знакови галерии и да работи по свои проекти за публични пространства..

Положителните отзиви и категоричните изяви разширяват кръга от галерии по света, с които тя работи и до днес.

През годините осъществява множество самостоятелни и съвместни изложби в Япония (Кобе, Киото, Осака, Нишиномия). Работи с известните художници Такесада Матсутани и Садахару Хорио, водещи членoве на легендарната японска авангардна група „Gutai“. С Такесада Матсутани излага в галерия „Rosa Turetsky”, Женева.

По време на официалното откриване на ретроспективната изложба на Бистра Льошевалие (16 юли 2024, Квадрат 500) – г-н Ален Уден обяви щедро дарение на Националната галерия от Enseigne des Oudin, Fonds de Dotation, Париж. Дарението включва пет емблематични творби на Бистра Льошевалие, представени в София: „Изгорял прозорец“ (1976) – най-ранният от серията „Прозорци“, „Блокиран прозорец“ (1978), „Болни столове“ (1979), голямоформатната „Рисунка“ (2018) и скулптурната композиция „Ембриони“ (2000).

Очаква се издание на Националната галерия към изложбата с текстове от Ален Уден, Ярослава Бубнова, текст и интервю на Яна Братанова с Бистра Льошевалие. Споделяме кратък цитат от интервюто, което предстои да бъде публикувано в изданието на Националната галерия към изложбата. На въпроса за усещането на Бистра Льошевалие от първата ѝ ретроспективна изложба в страната, художничката отговори:

“Направих инсталацията „След“. Тя е това, което ме вълнува и тревожи в момента. Ако се вгледате в шестнадесетте скулптури, ще забележите, че във всяка има една и съща форма, но видоизменена. Това влиза в идеята ми. Ние, жителите на планетата, сме много различни, но си приличаме. От там идва моята мечта за единство.Сега гледам отдалече изложбата. Тя е интересна. Получих много хубави отзиви и снимки.

Текст: Яна Братанова

"Времето е спряно"

Кураторката предостави на „въпреки.com” есето на Бистра Льошевалие „Синята Планета“, за което ѝ благодарим.

СИНЯТА ПЛАНЕТА

През 1975, след един сън, в който аз бях затворена в едно място със запушени прозорци, започнах серията “Прозорци”.

За да реализирам тази затвореност, липса на свобода и светлина, си послужих с този толкова популярен архитектурен елемент, какъвто е прозорецът. Елемент, който носи много символи и също е пряката връзка на човека с голямото пространство – вселената. Вселената винаги ме привлича с необятността си и желанието на човека да проникне все по-далече.

Прозорците аз ги запуших, рязах и горях, за да се почувствам освободена и да полетя във вселената.

Желанието ми да се приближа до нея и от невидима да я направя осезаема, видима като в произведението “Спряло време”, сериите “Черна материя ”, “Черна дупка” и “Италия”.

От изложбата

През 2020 трябваше да правя изложба в галерия „Структура“. Бях проектирала и бях започнала да ги реализирам при Марин Марков – три машини, с които исках да полетя във Вселената.

Сега видях рисунките и си помислих колко съм била весела, за да измисля подобни машини. Изложбата беше анулирана поради Covid 19.

Моето мислене се промени и аз останах на Земята.

А днес още повече. Сега, когато гледам през прозореца, аз не виждам звездите и слънцето, а разрухата, войната и смъртта.

Къде е човекът, когото величаех, който направи толкова открития и подобри и улесни живота ни?

От изложбата

Как е възможно този същият човек да открие как да руши това, което е създал и да убива близките си?!

Оставам без думи, без глас.

Все пак не мога да мисля, че всичко ще бъде разрушено и всичко ще умре.

Енергията не умира и добрият разум ще победи.

Инсталацията “След” е символ на бъдещето.

Белите форми, които излизат над разрухата, са това ново светло.

P.S. на „въпреки.com”: при откриването на изложбата на Бистра Льошевалие в Националната галерия Квадрат 500 в неформален разговор изкуствоведката Мария Василева, създател и собственик на галерия „Структура“ сподели, че в разговор в Париж с художничката тя е изразила желание да реализират нейна експозиция, не състояла се поради пандемичната ситуация с Covid-19. Тогава Мария ѝ казала, че тази първа нейна изложба в България трябва да е в Националната галерия…

For fun, btw... I wanna heal myself...

Spoilers for prince of tennis both old and new one.

Just for a laugh

Freshmen hang out. The word itself seems too alien for Ryoma Echizen. He was called out by Dan Taichi to meet at the courts of Rokkaku Jr High. Basically hinting that the over-zealous guy Aoi Kentaro would be present as well.

He certainly didn't expect Kintaro Toyama to be making an entrance as well. Sipping his ponta with a slight concern for his peace, he mentally and psychologically prepared for the worst case scenario of three similar idiots with the same mindset.

Horio, Kachirou, and Katsu were invited too to help and watch their meet-up. The senpais insisted they had their own time right after the nationals.

"Amazing Echizen-kun! You've beaten the child of God!" From Aoi.

"Right!! I can't seem to catch up, desu(Note that Dan's habit of saying desu is a Japanese polite form... he uses it to imply more politeness than average)

"Koshimae! You promised we'll have a match together!" (Kintaro is a cutie who can't read Echizen's kanji name... so that's why it's reversed ... though i think he's intentionally saying it wrong now)

Exactly as he predicted. Ryoma sighed, now lowering his cap. "Jeez, you guys are like three siblings working together to torment me"

Aoi grabbed his wrist with excitement, gleaming over his large dark eyes. "Matte (wait), did we torment the indomitable Echizen-kun?"

"That's insane kentaro-kun!" Dan grabbed his other hand to stop him from finishing his drink. Matches barely began, Kintaro was whining that he wanted to settle the one point match with him. Of course, he's got no room to breathe as he pulled his wrists free. Sighing, he rolled his shoulder. "Alright, mada mada dane, how about a warm-up?"

"Good idea desu!" Dan got up and soon prepared the courts with the freshmen trio.

Horio said now, picking the baskets of balls over to the super freshmen rookies of Seigaku and Rokkaku. "ne, Echizen seems too stiff, as always..."

Katsu and kachiro exchanged similar sad expressions, and hearing this, Kintaro folded his arms above his head, looking up with wondering thoughts "now... Has Koshimae ever laughed? I never saw that side of him before"

Dan pondered too "me neither..."

From Horio "Though he's in my class, all he does is sleep... nothing special"

While Aoi and Ryoma warm up, it made Kintaro run after too, who left out of boredom to practice. Dan clapped when an idea popped to his head, "How about we make him laugh, desu

Katsu smiled now. "Hmm? That's a nice idea, but will it be easy?"

They knew it won't... nothing will crack the cold stoic Ryoma-kun. At least, that's what they believed.

Telling this plan to Kintaro and Aoi, who agreed with bright grins, it was an OK plan. Less did they know Ryoma was suspicious about their private conversations they had without him.

He ignored as always, though he had a lingering doubt, if it would be his own inconvenience.

First, it was Dan who constantly pretended to slip when his bandana fell over his eyes. It was without a doubt funny, but Ryoma's too slow. He turned to the fallen kid now frowning. "What's wrong?"

Embarrassed, he looks away "nothing desu, i slipped!"

Horio and the other two worked hard to do Dan's comic falls and trips, but all they got was a cold Ryoma saying, "Stop screwing around,"

Katsu groaned in defeat. "He's tough..."

Kachirou had a weak smile, now picking up the balls they dropped "Well we got time... don't worry"

After hours passing the afternoon swiftly, they still couldn't do so. Echizen seemed to intentionally have avoided it as he had vaguely noticed a plan being proceeded, though he didn't know the subject matter.

Finally, Aoi cleared his throat after his power served and dared to say, "What do you call a fake pasta?"

Ryoma, startled by this he made a weak lob to digest what Aoi suddenly said. "H-huh... what do you mean?"

"The answer..." he smashed, and Ryoma hits it back with a drive B that Aoi couldn't return.

"I don't know," patting the racket at the lame attempt of a joke. Aoi frozen by the amazing move stammered as he missed his ball "A-ah its an impasta!"

He laughed nervously now, receiving one of his own powerfully controlled serves, defeated. Utterly.

"I shouldn't have listened to davide-senpai..."

"Oh no," Echizen said with a hint of a smile. "His jokes were worse than yours... but it's not like I don't enjoy them"

"Wait, you enjoy them?" Aoi was surprised now, still, he was barely conscious that Ryoma was winning two games from him now.

"Kidding..." Sticking his tongue, he took his sets, leaving four games to six. He won.

"So mean Echizen-kun! You will pay for that, " he glared playfully. Still, they still couldn't make him laugh. He had a small smile, however... seeing how he didn't seem to mind their company anymore, he allowed it to slide.

Dan sighed, "Well, it was a good effort, Aoi-kun..."

Kintaro was next now tossing up and causing crazy moves, which Ryoma was able to predict even without the mugo no kyochi. Kachirou widened his eyes now. "Ryoma-kun had a hard time with him before the finals, but now he's gotten used to that insane irregular speed"

Aoi gave a wry smile, wiping his brow. "He's another monster too, huh?"

Ryoma missed another set though, seeing how kintaro was equal to four games with him.

"Hooooo!" Kintaro yelled as he was sent spinning up like a top from the courts. This was the move... and Ryoma kept his stance. "Superr ultra great delicious mountain-"

He stopped himself abruptly, suddenly losing his balance and falling face first on the dirt and laughing at himself for his stupid fall. Ryoma's eyes widened in puzzlement and pulled away from the stance "O-Oi... what is wrong with all of you?"

Kintaro still face down, was pretty funny and the rest snickered softly at that. Maybe they got to laugh but not Ryoma. Kintaro got up with a frowny dirty face "Aww guess Koharu and Yuji did it better, i might need to learn tricks!"

Using his racket's handle to irritably rub his temple, he asked. Now, finally, losing his patience. "Seriously... what's going on? I'm not stupid to notice you've been acting weird since the discussion this noon till now"

Everyone watched him, as if they were children who were being scolded by a teacher. Sighing, they gave up. All of them seemed to be in on this.

Dan said this, very apologetically "sumimasen, desu,(sorry) It was my idea... you've been a little rigid, and we've never seen you laugh before"

Ryoma looked at him thoughtfully, then thought a little longer and sighed exaperatedly. "Hmm... is that's what this is about? Why do you care whether i laugh or not?"

Aoi broke in emotionally, reaching for his hand with a tight, hopeful clasp. "But Echizen-kun's smile fits him perfectly, i cant imagine it any longer!!"

Awkward, he couldn't get away from the strong hold at all. The idiots strength is formiddable, thought Ryoma. This time, Kintaro grabbed his other hand with sparkly eyes,"Koshimae! You don't look like you enjoy my matches... so why don't you laugh out a bit once in a while"

"Please Echizen-kun?" Dan

"Yes, Ryoma-kun..." katsu

"Can you do it for us Ryoma-kun?" Kachirou

Again, Ryoma didn't understand what was happening. He totally can't force a laugh when nothing is funny and nothing is happening around him. Has he never laughed before? Well, apart from challenging Atobe with a maniacle laugh, he probably sees where they're coming from.

"Well, you will eventually hear it... Toyama, let's continue" he turned away breaking their hearts instantly.

"Normally, I'd be happy, but Koshimae is being mean," Kintaro pouted.

Ryoma stiffened now, wondering the hell he should do to stop weird ideas coming to them.

Aoi was seeing how a warfare of thoughts happening in ryoma's head.

True, they can't force it out... but then again... he got another idea to crack him... problem is if it's effective.

"Echizen-kun, what's that...?" He pointed at the side past Kintaro, who both looked back as well.

"Where -oof!"

A temporary moment of distraction, Aoi tackled him to the ground. His tall frame was a big of a wall for Echizen to cross over. Shock was all he had in his eyes but a horrified looks was when he felt fingers dig into his sides.

"What are you -hngh!"

Clapping a hand to his mouth, he knew exactly what Aoi was doing, and he didn't like it one bit. They wouldn't dare... no, they would, in fact! They had devilish grins that sent shivers down his spine.

"Of course, I forgot the most obvious method of all..." Aoi grinned even wider still trying to force out laughs from a restraining Echizen.

"Ehh, so someone like Echizen can be ticklish?" Horio said with amusement.

The latter on the ground curled to the side, squeaking out sounds he regretted letting out, "S-stop that!"

"He looks surpsingly cute," Dan said with bewilderment. The trio agreed with giggles.

Kintaro sneered and wiggled his fingers before descending with Aoi, "koshimaee~ wants some more? Here ya go!" With that, he grabbed his knees, which was accidental, yet it made Ryoma kick violently, narrowly missing his jaw, "Gah! Wahait... stohop it!"

That was a bad spot. Echizen panicked, he could handle anywhere but there! And there!

Shit! He swore, this was all messed up, he's suddenly cracking.

"Do I hear giggles from the stoic Echizen-kun?" Aoi's sunshine smile glistened over him, how Ryoma wished to step on his face.

"Nohoho yohou dihihid not hehehear ahahahanythihihing! Leheheave mehehe behehehe!" Ryoma curled back now trying to escape the touches, but then again, it's two against one. Hence, except in tennis, he can't win against that unfair combination.

"Yes, Aoi-kun, Echizen-kun's adorably giggling! I want to join too, desu!" Dan stepped in as well to grab one of his arms and help tackle his ribs while Aoi went to his slender waist.

It's too much. He can't believe they'd resort to something stupid... why do they even care? Questions aroused his mind, and soon, his face had an adorable flush of embarrassment.

"Ne, ne..." Dan said, coming over to his head now, "Have you heard that laughter is the best medicine, Ryoma?"

"Ehehehenough yohohou guhuhuys! Ihihihi mehehehean ihihit!"

"No, no... mada mada dane? Right Echizen kun?" Aoi teased him with his own catchphrase, and that made him lower his head back in helpless titters.

It was rather rare to hear him laugh genuinely. Everyone was more dazed than determined. His laugh was contagious, soft, and mellow... almost sweet like a child's.

"To think an uncute guy like koshimaee can be mega cute!" Kintaro was vigorously using methods like scribbling under the calf muscles which nobody knew that were sensitive.

"Shiraishi said sportsmen have sensitive knees, calf muscles, and ankles... now I know he's telling the truth"

"Ihihihi ahahaham nohohot! Oohohoi! Stohohop ihihit!"

Dan couldn't help shower gentle tickles over his neck, and Aoi was more focused on getting his ribs.

"Wait... you're defensive here..." Aoi said, now aiming for the spot below his armpits. It was the last straw. His giggles raised an octave and much louder. "OHOHOK Cuhuhuhut it out nohohohow! IHIHIHI SWEHEHEHEAR ihihit!"

"Ken-chan found the gold mine yippiii!" Kintaro giggled now, pinning his failing ankles down.

"Plehehehaseee!" Ryoma widened his eyes when he heard himself begging and then shuts his words.

This made everyone look at each other with surprise but then contorted to menacing grins. Kintaro taunted now. "Oyaa? Koshimae begging...? That's pretty intense... he's so weak to such a little thing?"

"OHOHO SHUHUT UP! IHIHIHI CAHAHANT STAHAHAND YOU! IHIHIHI DIHID IT BY AHAHAHCCIDENT!"

Rolling his eyes, Aoi presses harder to the death spot "Of course, not to injure your pride, Ryoma... but we all know you begged just now... want to do it again?"

"YEHEHEAH NOHOHOT IHIHIN A MIHIHILLION YEAAARS! GAHAHAHA!" He turned away now trying to pushing away the annoying nimble fingers tormenting his worst spot.

"You heard him. Let's defeat him from a one-sided tickle fight... ne?"

Ryoma Echizen was at their mercy.

Meanwhile, from a distance, the senpais had arrived. The seigaku, rokkaku, and shitenhoji and even Jin Akutsu accompanied them for Dan's sake. All these schools arrived to see their freshmen's little hangout. Surpsingly, what they heard was lovely laughter on the far distance by the courts.

"Are they really not training?" Shiraishi sighed in sudden confusion, "honestly I thought Echizen would be more responsible over them"

Fuji said warmly. "Even i thought so to... well he's not the type to care..."

"I wonder who's laughing... It's certainly not Kin-chan,"

Akutsu scoffed coldly. "Not even Taichi..."

"Aoi's got a much louder one that's annoying," Saeki said with a smile..

"Well, it could be seigaku definitely..." Chitose said with fondness.

The said-school exchanges startled looks, Inui folded his arms "Based on the tone, I think it's not Kachiro though he fits close to that sound... so that means... its Echizen"

"Uso! (No way), i wanna see Ochibi (cutie) right now!" Eji was the first one to run through the path and into the courts to see for himself. He had a bright grin when Oishi followed.

Of course, the senpais saw it with their own eyes. Startled and in love with the sweet sounds. Aoi was definitely breaking him along with Dan and Kintaro ... those merciless devils.

"To think he can have such a side, interesting... even i want to break him like that..." Fuji's sadism triggered as he was giving an aura that made Shiraishi sigh in familairty."Seigaku, save that freshman from this man"

Fuji smiled with sweetness. "Whatever do you mean dear Saeki?"

They approached the freshmen, and Aoi was the first to stop, and then Dan.... they all shyly giggled at the funny display. Kintaro was having a blast that he failed to notice anyone and still didnt let poor Ryoma free. Nobody stopped the red head while he tried to push him off to stop it.

Aoi stuck his tongue in appology for the silliness, "Ahhh, senpai! Sorry, we were practising, but... Echizen was being a stick in the mud... so we gotta lighten him up, " he pointed out with a fond smile."So we thought to make him laugh..."

"Bahahastard! Ahahaha! CUhuhuUHUHUT IHIHIHIT OHOHOUT!"He tried to threaten Aoi but failed when Kintaro was strong and persistent to get him even more, as he scavenged for the sweet spot that Aoi found. He found it at last.

Momoshiro suddenly seemed thrilled as he cracked his knuckles, "How about you let the senpais deal him now, Toyama..."

Kintaro looked up now, a well-deserved break from Ryoma's prior torment. He grinned now, stopping for real, "Ehh? OK then, he got a bad spot under his arms but above the top ribs... get him there... its cute when he snorts!"

"IHI dohoho nohohot -!"

Ryoma sensed the worst conclusion being drawn immediately as he interrupted himself, trying to escape. He was slowly turning to his stomach.

"Running away? I don't think so! Momo, get him right there!" Eji pounced first by grabbing his waist, and soon new resumed laughter was heard, Dan exchanged glances with the other freshmen as the Seigaku senpai handle their freshmen with care and tickles.

It was a beautiful evening that's being folded. Dan was glad he set up this hangout with the freshmen.
