IT’S PEAK

i love skip and loafer so much!!! it's one of the best new mangas being released, and the anime captures the beauty of the manga so well. characters like mitsumi are so hopeful and hardworking that you feel inspired to be just like her!! she's someone everyone can look up to, her energy is so infectious i can never get enough of her character! shima's character is so amazingly written, and his journey of self-discovery is so moving. shima is taking the time to find his interests and navigate his feelings toward friends/potential partners. it makes me so emotional to see how much effort he puts into bettering himself, and you can't help but root for him!! mitsumi and shima are one-of-a-kind characters that remind you of how special youth is. i will always love shimamitsu and skip & loafer!!!!!!!!!!!

post time skip kagehina is insane. WHAT DO YOU MEAN 2018 WINS??? keeping score since HIGH SCHOOL and through all the years they HAVEN’T BEEN TOGETHER??? THEY WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER??? they aren’t even trying to hide how much they want each other are you kidding me?? IN FRONT OF THE WORLD THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO EXIST!!! no one does it like them.

skip and loafer merch is always so comforting. they look so adorable & happy & warm. i’m always so happy to see mitsumi and shima together in official art. they’re so beautiful!!!!!

i love kagehina so much...they remind me so much of fall...of warm hugs and comfy sweaters...of cool breezes and fallen leaves...of calm nights watching movies with friends. they are just so comforting to me. they make me so happy. this panel in particular reminds me so much of fall. it’s one of my fav kagehina moments. they are so beautiful!! m

comfort trio!!!

my biggest jinmao fantasy is them both getting a full night's sleep. no subtext just pure sleep

rewatching the apothecary diaries and it's one of the best series i've ever watched. maomao is so captivating as a main character. her knowledge and skills allow her to help people, even though she says time and time again she wants to lay low. she doesn't want to get involved, yet puts herself in harm's way to solve the problem. jinshi is so interesting as a character. he puts on a persona and hides his true nature so he doesn't have to get involved with the palace politics, yet he has moments where the TRUE jinshi is shown. he has so much at stake, so much responsibility, yet with maomao he's able to forget all of it and be himself. the mysteries, the writing, the tension, the secrets, all of these things make the series so amazing. the plot is so incredible, jinshi and maomao are amazing characters, and their relationship is so beautifully written. every aspect of the apothecary diaries is incredible.

ace is such a beautiful character. growing up hearing the world hate his father & hearing how they would harm gol d. roger’s child yet never letting it tear him down makes ace so resilient. he grew up with so much rage & resentment but because of sabo and luffy, he understood what it felt like to have people love you no matter what. all his life, he was wanting to find out if he was worthy of being born. he wanted to become a pirate so he can become something and make a name for himself. despite his self hatred, ace found his way to the whitebeard pirates who made him feel welcomed.

even though ace felt hated by the world, his ability to love was so strong. it takes so much strength to be kind & to love so deeply when all you know is hatred. yet, ace was able to become a captain a few months after sailing the seas. he became a commander with loyal followers. everywhere ace went, there were people who cared about him. ace grew up to be an amazing person who can love & be loved in returned.

in his final moments, ace protects luffy. his little brother, the one who was there with him in his youth, the one person who truly knows ace. even in death, ace chooses to act with love. he was born into the world hated but he died surrounded by people who love him so much. ace was finally able to see his life was worth something. rather than being angry, ace chooses to thank luffy & his crew for loving him. it’s a huge testament to his growth to be full of gratitude in his last moments rather than rage like he once was as a child. it destroyed me watching ace die. he deserved so much more. he deserved to live, to find himself, to grow stronger, to love more.

his character is truly heartbreaking but so beautiful. i will always love ace & miss him so much. <3

bokuaka makes me so happy and this panel in particular just sums up their bond so well. bokuto beaming complimenting akaashi and akaashi feeling happy and thankful. they really are the “love at first sight” trope if you think about it. bokuto being akaashi’s star while bokuto sees akaashi as the world. since the moment they met, they were always bound to be together on and off the court. they just make me so happy!!
