Daily reminder that there’s other sports teams at fox tower and they co-exist with our exy team
I pity them
Possibly unpopular opinion but I think Aaron gets too much hate
My literal favorite interaction in any of the books is the morning after Columbia when Neil throws a GLASS FULL OF WATER directly at Aaron’s head and Aaron COMPLETELY UNBOTHERED by this smacks it out of the air before it can hit him
Like girl please he invented the word cunt
NO ONE TOUCH ME THEY ARE ALL DATING
thought about the sports comp arc and i need to lie down.. tamaki manipulated their entire school just to give kyoya the opportunity to be truly openly himself but also to give HIM the chance to fairly compete with kyoya because they are the same. they are both competitive and driven but tamaki never gets to have full access to this side of kyoya normally because kyoya always holds back, which cheapens any victory tamaki earns. they are perfect for each other and always have been and they revolve around each other and pull each other forward like no one else.
like YES we know kyoya has been rearranging his furniture levels of obsessed with tamaki from the beginning, but its fully reciprocated. tamaki will rearrange their world just for the chance to see the fire inside kyoya again.
people who write their fics directly onto archive of our own site do not fear death by the way
in all seriousness, please always keep backups of your works, write them somewhere else (google doc is a good choice) then copy and paste onto ao3 when you're done, because ao3 itself does not automatically save your works for you, meaning you can lose all of your progress
been watching a few animes with female protagonists recently and it’s so funny how they’re all like. the biggest girlfailures to ever exist. the developers really said let’s make the lamest laziest most socially awkward violence-prone overreactors of all time and throw in a couple of hot guys to make up the difference. most of the time the hot guys are goofy asf too. and it’s always an incredible 10/10 too
I wasnt the only one who immediately thought and accepted too absurdly fast that Riri had just fucking killed that stalker girl right
Okay but legit, the first time I saw this scene, those words struck a cord within in me. The music that plays, the way Flynn Carson says that, to three people who don't quite fit in anywhere. Except they fit in with the library. He offers then a home, a world that's they fit in with.
And for some reason when ever I need motivation I always go back to this scene. Because with this scene I'm reminded that somewhere, out there I'll fit in and somewhere out there I can do some good. And that life may have it's ups and downs but there will always be a place for me. And as a kid growing up I needed that.
And it's also like he's talking to the audience too.
Oh, impossible! Pipsy-posh! Pipsy-posh, Jenkins! People keep saying that as if we don’t eat the impossible for breakfast every day.
pushing myself through essay after essay with the mindset of aaron minyard did it you can too
You know, ever since maybe my... second viewing of the anime, I've had a sense that this was total bullshit, but I think I just figured out why.
I love him (partially because of this), but Kyoya's a bit of a fuckhead, right? Like, the whole reveal of his character over the course of the anime/manga is that he DOESN'T do everything purely for selfish reasons, but the reason that assumption was there in the first place was because he does act selfish fairly consistently. Moreover, if he's not worried for anyone's well-being and he doesn't benefit, he's likely to give all of 0% effort for a task he may be presented with the option of doing. So why tf would he give half a shit about getting into contact with and consistently updating the father of a fucking nobody? He's nowhere close to that chivalrous I guarantee you.
So. He's fucking lying. But he still contacted Ranka, so the next question would be "why?"
My personal theory has two options: heterosexual reason, or homosexual reason (I'm partial to the second one because I believe Kyoya is full gay, but to each their own).
Heterosexual reason: He has a thing for Haruhi, and is hoping to get a leg up on dating her over literally everyone else with obvious feelings for her by becoming familiar with her dad. If someone's close to their family, not only is getting a parents approval usually a factor in choosing a partner, but seeing somebody you're possibly interested in getting along with the people you love is usually something that sets off green flags in your head.
Homosexual reason: Sometime during his general research that he's explicitly confirmed to conduct on everybody he regularly interacts with, he discovered that Ranka is queer. He wanted to talk to someone 'like him', probably assuming he would just the once to satisfy curiosity and loneliness, and as soon as Ranka figured out what was going on, welp. It was over for him 😭 Ranka's your gay dad now Kyoya
(Also neither of these reasons are something he'd want to advertise, much less to Tamaki, which I think lends credibility. And he really would just. Decide to tell Tamaki exactly what he knew would fuck with him instead. Just to be a fuck. <3)
But what do y'all think
