Okay, we gotta talk about how these images were set to these lyrics.

When SKETCH first came out, lots of fan translations were floating around and getting analyzed. I have my own translation and interpretations of the song that I wanna share, at least of these five lines.

The lyrics of the chorus, which are sung as we pan over these two images, are as follows:

「居なくならないでね」

「君こそね」

能天気に約束して肩を叩く

きまってどちらかが破るのさ

今回もまた僕じゃなかっただけ

My translation would be:

-

"Don't you disappear on me, okay?"

"Not you."

Promises made in a carefree way with a pat on the shoulder.

Which of them will break, like they always do?

This time, too, it wasn't just me.

-

The first two lines are in quotations, and in my mind, they are both spoken by the subject of the song (Izuku), not the singer (Katsuki). There is some ambiguity with the use of koso (こそ), which emphasizes the word before it, often in the sense of "definitely," "for sure," or "specifically because it's [blank]." Koso is used in a lot of ways, though, sometimes as a rebuttal of sorts--

Person A: どう？ 考えは？ (Well? What do you think?)

Person B: 君こそ教えるよ (You tell me first!)

So, there is a possibility that these two lines are actually an exchange:

A: "Don't disappear on me, okay?"

B: "Hey, speak for yourself." (You're the one who might disappear.)

This would be a promise made between the two of them. You won't disappear, and neither will I.

Both lines have ne (ね) at the end, which to me suggests the speaker of the first line is continuing their train of thought, in the sense of saying "you know? ...because like, ... right?"

Inakunara (居なくなら) means to disappear, to go away, to leave, to stop existing. This line is saying, don't leave me, don't go away, don't disappear from my life. I see these lines as Izuku, the sweet little nerd, casually, lightheartedly saying, "Kacchan, don't go off and leave me, okay? Because it's you, you know? Never you." And whether Katsuki verbally reciprocates the promise or not, the feeling behind it is mutual.

The verb used for break in the fourth line is yaburu (破る). (Fun fact: The kanji used to write yaburu is the same kanji used for Katsuki's Quirk name, Bakuha: 爆破.) This is not the word you would usually use for things like "that broke his heart" or "they broke the table," which is kowasu (壊す); the meanings overlap, but yaburu is also used for broken promises.

This makes the fifth line sound like, "This time it wasn't just me who broke this promise and disappeared--you did, too."

Which... sounds a lot like Katsuki saying, "I ran away, I tried to keep you at a distance. But you are putting yourself in danger again and again--now it's you who's leaving me."

Those carefree, loving lyrics of the first three lines pan over the image of little Katsuki smiling at little Izuku. The last two lines pan over Katsuki now, reaching for little Izuku's hand as he wishes he did all those years ago. Katsuki is desperate for Izuku to not disappear, to not break that promise--but one way or another, the promise will be broken, because without a thought he chooses to give his life to save Izuku's.

Not you.

Excerpt from Alkaloid/Crazy:B RadiSta Episode 9 (Azakami Yohei, Yamaguchi Tomohiro, Nakazawa Masatomo, Kajiwara Gakuto)

“Tomo-kun's dream”

I genuinely just never get tired of Tomo-kun's chatty energy. Also I love both groups' enthusiasm for the other group's songs.

It feels like getting pulled underwater—the sharp sideways tug, the slight drag of resistance, then falling, falling, till the waves close over his head. But Logan can breathe when he rights himself again, even if the light has a watery filter to it and the voices have a distant echo. // Sometimes Logan gets a glimpse of guys who've been long gone from the teal, clustered at the far end of the bench or sitting in the box across the ice. He heard Jason's voice in the hallway loud and clear, that infectious laugh. And he could have sworn he saw Raffi fucking Torres getting out of a car in the players' lot. Something tells him not to look up the rosters.

Commissioned @impmakesart to make a painting based on the Sharks' Cali Fin hype reel + the flip side by frausorge. Imp was amazing to work with and I could not be more emotional about this piece and so, so pleased with how it turned out!! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️ Commission him here. Thank you Imp!

I don’t consume the franchise’s media because it’s “good”, I consume it because I got emotionally attached to the characters as a child and now I can’t let go

[ljubimaya]

marena i’m convincing mimi to watch hxh ‼️‼️‼️ i need to get her to the dark side ong

I GOTCHU ‼️

@avatarofstars THIS IS FOR YOU

In HxH we have:

A morally questionable cult leader (does he remind you of a certain someone? 👀)

An overpowered clown (you either love him or hate him. Regardless of your feelings towards him, you will find his memes hilarious)

The self-destructive mom friend (or what other ppl like calling him, the og Sasuke)

THE BEST CHARACTER EVER (he's so funny and sweet and nice TT)

LOOK AT HIM

Dead fish eyed beautiful king (he'san assasin.... men that can kill me 🫦)

AND!!! THE ANIME MAY LOOK FUN AND WHIMSICAL, WHICH IT SOMETIMES IS BUT LET ME TELL YOU THE PLOT IS LEGIT ONE OF A KIND. THERE'S A REASON SO MANY MANGAKA QUOTE HXH AS THEIR INSPIRATION FOR THEIR OWN CREATION. CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW WELL WRITTEN THE CHARACTERS ARE BB. TRUST ME, YOU WILL FEEL EVERY EMOTION WHEN YOU'LL WATCH THE ANIME/READ THE MANGA

[ah-finally]

i just wanna say…

if you are currently in the business of writing buggy x reader fanfic where it starts off with reader taking care of buggy’s disembodied head despite the rest of the strawhat’s despising him, feeding him, gaining his trust to slowly washing his hair, his face and doing his make up, stroking his face as reader falls asleep with his head cuddled to their body to creep into dirty jokes and sly winks from him to buggy eventually eating reader out like a starved animal under their covers at night…

you’re doing the lords work and i love you oh so very much.

Gosh I'm just so impressed that even after 22 years and having stage 3 throat cancer, Rob Paulsen can still sing like no one's business. Someone please give this man a medal, he's beyond deserving.

Completely outside of my usual drawing niche, but yesterday I was talking to my sister and she showed me an old drawing I made for her in 2021 that I had deleted and completely forgot about. There was a period of time when my sister was absolutely OBSESSED with Wings of Fire, so I drew a humanisation (I can barely draw humans, man, I would actually combust if asked to draw a dragon) of a pre-canon younger version of one of her favourite characters, Peril, who I also have a soft spot for because, you guessed it, I found a way to link her to my main obsession :’) And when I saw that old piece, I just knew I had to redraw it

+ The original, low quality bc I screenshotted my sister filming her tablet screen over video call, under the cut to save myself some embarrassment 😅
