With All The Amazing Hype About Lup Being Trans (bless You Griffin), I've Seen A Few People Question

We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.

*Nishiura calls time*

Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright

*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*

Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???

*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*

Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something....?

Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???

*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*

Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?

*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*

Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius

Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??

Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long

tl;dr:

Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy -- they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!

*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.

Hot shot team: What in tarnation....

*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess

Hot shot team: ....we lost to this?

Me: *constantly worries about whether or not I'm truly bisexual*

Me: *Stresses about the fact that I could be enforcing a bisexual mindset upon myself out of a desire to be different*

Me: *Thinks about my sexuality WAY too often*

Me: *Finally asks friends about what they think about my sexuality from an outsiders point of view*

Friends: Lmao we thought you were either lesbian or bisexual as hell as soon as you stepped foot into this group. You're so gay at times we're all surprised you don't spew rainbows.

I love how at the start of hxh gon was like: I’m going to use my animal instinct and fishing pole to get around the problem uniquely because I’m a cute little feral boy and I just want friends and some fun!!!

But by the end he was like: I’m full of teen angst and I’m gonna PUNCH this problem SO HARD it turns to PULP because my life is already spiralling out of control age (14)

Alright, so I had to instantly make a continuation of my mildly angsty sword fighter au post on what would happen to Marco after being reverted back to his young self. First of all, this kid is LITERALLY 30 YEARS OLD MENTALLY!! He remembers every single moment he spent away from earth's dimension, so it's canon that Marco is mentally and probably emotionally a hell of a lot older than all of his current friends. Talking to people just a few years younger than you is hard enough as you both struggle to relate, so imagine the struggle Marco is going to go through as he tries to interact with people who he hazily remembers were his friends. 16 years have passed since he last saw Janna, Jackie and even Star; his relationships with them are going to be vastly different to what they were before. Would Marco even be interested in Jackie anymore after spending 16 years away from her??? He's mentally 30, liking someone that you will be so weird to him, and he's probably long since grown out of his school kid crush. That lack of romantic affection will be jarring to Jackie, as to her she's just started developing a tentative romantic relationship with Marco, whose now just not interested. Furthermorw, this Marco is going to lose his A+ streak at school as he cant even remember covering any of the topics at school. He's going to forget people's birthdays, their interests and even his own old ones. This Marco will be a stranger; a mature and serious kid that lacks any of Marco's old dorky charm as he's long since outgrown his social awkwardness. Don't even get me started on how Star will suffer as she watches her best friend run himself into the ground in order to build himself back up into the amazing sword master and hero he once was. Or the sense of awkwardness between them as Marco forgets simple facts about Star, or gets lost in his head over things that happened while he was away. Star will be constantly worried over whether Marco wants to go back to the other dimensions, back to being impressive and important once more. On the bright side, soon Marco would begin to grow used to his body and train it up to a decent level of strength so he can do all of the amazing stunts he used to do, including wielding the sword he kept from his travels. Cue most of the kids at his school getting ridiculous crushes on Marco with his intense and mature personality, his vast knowledge about cool tricks like Motorbike stunts and crazy sword wielding skills, and his rocking bod. Additionally, think about his amazing friendship with HP, who often pops into his dimension to simply chat, give moral support or help him train. (Maybe even a jealous Star in the background because did no one else pick up that flirtatious tone Marco and HP between one another? Those two have so much history)

Every time I watch the Haikyuu stage play I always laugh at the ridiculous amounts of pushing around and generally fighting like toddlers the Karasuno members do. Then I watch the show. Within one episode you get either Hinata or Noya thrown around like a messed up game of catch, Kageyama beating up Hinata in creative new ways, and several creative death threats floating around (either at outsiders or at each other -- Tsukishima I'm looking at you ya salty crow). I swear to the fucking gods I love my fucked up baby birds. Squawking and fighting and all.

*Brennan revealing one of the main characters, a cop, is crooked* oh?

*Suddenly revealing that a whole hierarchy of crooked cops have managed to infiltrate the justice system* OH!

What if she fed her old name to the voidfish once she found out what it could do?

That would be a hella interesting concept. The thing is that there's no one left to know her birth name aside from her and Taako since their home world is kind of destroyed. There's literally no one left to know her original name unless she told the red robe crew, but with her and Taako's secretive nature that seems unlikely until later in the story when they're all close and comfortable with one another.

It would be an interesting concept if Lup was a little relieved when their world was destroyed as there was no one to remind her of who she once was. The crew seems like they're going to become like a family, so I bet there was no more reminders of her birth as a male, and therefore Lup can happily live out the rest of her life as a girl elf unquestioned by anyone.

With all the amazing hype about Lup being trans (bless you Griffin), I’ve seen a few people question what Lup’s birth name was prior to her transition.

The only way I want to ever know that information is through a scene where Lup and Taako grab every offending piece of evidence with her old name on it, any other objects that tied her to her unfortunate birth as a male that makes her uncomfortable, as well as a giant sign with her old name on it and just set it all ablaze.

Like the only way I wanna know about the name Lup left behind when she truly became who she was is in a giant bonfire as the twins dance around shouting her true name and setting off magic missiles that spell out her name in giant glittering letters in the night sky.

That is all I want out of that scenario.

gravity falls + text post meme (5/?)

Mihashi in 1st ep of Big Windup!: cries, calls himself a shitty pitcher, stutters over his own name, gets the fear of god placed into him by a woman squeezing oranges, cries, finds his soulmate/catcher, cries again

Sawamura in 1st ep of Ace of Diamond: cries, bitchslaps 12 students and has the audacity to slap the grown-ass umpire as well, faces off against the strongest looking motherfucker and tries to pick a fight despite being a guest, meets his soulmate/catcher, cries some more

In summary: to be a pitcher you gotta have some good-ass tear ducts
