inosukeslefttoe:hey uh… i just watched episode 7 bro and i have some emotions that i would like to let out… i know its just a skateboarding anime about friendship right but… the feeling of being left behind ?? and having everyone surpass you and be able to be just fine while youre left in the dust?? just. stuck. and with no one. homie that hits different. what makes it hurt more is that reki is the most energetic loving kind passionate and goofy kid so it hurt so bad to see him feeling so helpless in this episode. skating has been his passion for like?? ever right?? and hes so driven and so happy and hella talented and everything just got better when he got a cool ass partner to experience it all with !! bc nothing is better than having someone whos just as passionate as you, who you also admire, to share your passion with !! its such an amazing feeling to be surrounded by those of your level or even just people who love the same stuff you do. but like… for them to suddenly be so much better at it than you and just leave you behind? sure theyre your friend and you love seeing them so successful but… at some point this became a journey that reki and langa were on /together/ yknow?? reki introduced langa to skating and he trained him and watched his love for it grow but it was always something theyd done together. they got to grow and win and bond together and suddenly skateboarding was something more than just a passion and a sport. it was something holding reki and langa together but only as long as they were on the same level…but suddenly langa surpassed reki so quickly and didnt need him anymore. he was better than him at everything and didnt even have to try whereas reki worked his ass off at every trick he learned and every technique he practiced. so not only was reki pissed that langa barely had to work for his success, but he was pissed bc his best friend no longer had a use for him and he suddenly felt inferior and no longer needed… AND HOMIE THAT HURTS A BIT… theres also a clear lack of communication btwn them prolly bc reki yknow realizes that his own personality is this super cute hyper puppy like thing and thats how everyone sees him and how he charms ppl right ?? it makes him super lovable !! but at this moment in time hes not only struggling w hiding his frustration like a normal person ,, but also struggling w feeling inferior,, and letting go of his upbeat sunshine personality would just make people like him less in his mind… so he further suppresses (? spelling??) those negative feelings for as long as he can even tho its hurting him more,. until he just explodes.. and he is unable to articulate his feelings to langa which just makes the whole thing worse and it just… really hurts my poor hear yknow :,) bc this is exactly how something so beautiful btwn ppl can end…and i dont think its gonna end bc langa clearly loves reki way too much to let him dump him that easily yknow !! reki seems stubborn so im not sure if he will be able to make the first move but i rlly believe that they can work through this.. (if they dont i will die on the spot bro like. no cap.) LOL ALL MY POSTS ARE SO MESSY AND REPETITIVE AND THE TRAIN OF THOUGHT IS LOST ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT,, I HOPE SOMEONE ENJOYS SEEING THIS -- source link
