Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.
"you wont believe what happened to me!!!!! and the world is ending in five days."
"WHAT."
"If I don't reply by tomorrow, then consider me dead." It's been two years since you got that message, and you haven't seen them since. Suddenly, your phone lights up: "Sorry, that took longer than I thought."
Genuinely so confused by this official art:

Ough, thinking about how p5 somewhat unintentionally dips into queer/neurodiverse themes.
Like, you take the “outcasts” and like… most of the time, they’re only like that because they’re different.
(I would argue there isn’t a single phantom thief that doesn’t fall into the neurodiverse/queer club (and quite commonly both))
Like, yeah, head canons and all, and “these characters were never confirmed to be *blank*” well, yeah. But if I can look at Ryugi and feel better about my own adhd because he’s doing his best despite of it? Characters don’t have to actually have or be whatever to see yourself through them. I’ve been so frustrated with schoolwork and him being able to still somewhat try and do his own boring schoolwork, it’s helping me do my own. The staying up way too late doing something I enjoy rather than what I dislike. I can just feel the adhd coming from him.
Ryugi being quick to anger and frustration mirrors my own feelings. That urge to just… hit something when things go wrong, but you can’t because you don’t want to hurt anyone. The pure frustration when you can’t do anything. That strong desire to protect who we care about. I can just see so much of myself in him, and it makes me feel better, because he was able to be better.
(Can you tell I have a favourite phantom thief?/lh)
(Take some of these next ones with a grain of salt, because I do throw a fair bit of head canon in there)
Yusuke and Futaba dip into autism (or also adhd) representation. I can’t personally speak for this one, but I know it’s a very common hc. They help show that you can do different things with good supports.
Ann… well, let’s be real she is at LEAST bi if not lesbian.
Futaba shows cptsd symptoms and also shows that it can get better with the right supports!
And there’s so much more that my tired brain can’t think of right this moment. Feel free to add your own, dear reader.
While I can’t personally connect as deeply with every phantom thief, the fact that *someone* can is why representation matters to me. They feel like my friends because can I see so much of myself. I’m an artist like Yusuke, I’m a gamer like Futaba, I love taking care of plants like Haru, I have a strong sense of justice like Makoto, I see myself in Ann because I’m sapphic because I get judged by my appearance and it isn’t who I really am, I am proud like Morgana, and I am loyal and brave like Ryugi is.
Intentional or not, representation comes in all different shapes and sizes, and if we can see ourselves in those characters, it can help in so many different ways.
(And a side track, I know this isn’t the main point, about the queer or neurodiverse thing, but Haru and how she feels about her father’s passing is helping me deal with the divorce (I know it isn’t the same) (dad was kicked out, it was good, and I’m a whole adult so it’s not *that* bad) but the lens of “was he ever like I though he was? Or was he always this way” that I can shine my own experiences through has been helping me
Same with Ryugi really, my dad wasn’t physically abusive, but I cut contact for a reason)
Other media has this unintentional representation, but I mainly wanted to talk about p5 because I have free will and no one can stop me.

Kind of a rant!!!
The summer Hikaru died is getting an anime! I've been a fan of the series for over a year now, and it's definitely one of my favorite mangas, I'm really excited for the anime!
These days, I've been getting a lot of videos about either 2 type of people:
1) "I'm scared of the fujos that will mischaracterize Yoshiki and Hikaru!!"
2) "Yoshiki and Hikaru aren't queer, they're just friends" / "TSHD isn't a BL!"
SIGH
I wanna talk about both of this two points, but before I start:
• This post might contain spoilers, if you're planning to read the manga or watch the anime when it comes out be prepared or don't read this post.
• I'm aware a lot of queer people read queer series for an obvious reason, I will be talking about people who OBSESS over queer media, specifically young girls with mlm content.
• I'm not trying to be offensive and neither should you if you don't agree, thx!
Now we can start!
1) Is "The summer Hikaru died a BL?"
Yes and no.
Currently, the series is tagged as Horror and Slice of Life. It used to be tagged as a BL, but the creator has removed it for unknown reasons.
HOWEVER, the main characters (Yoshiki and Hikaru / "Hikaru") are MEANT to be queer and it's not like the author is tryna hide it!
It's been implied that Yoshiki had feelings for the original Hikaru. Now that his best friend is gone, he developed an ambiguous relationship with the being that replaced him (aka "Hikaru"), ambiguous because while the attachment came from his denial of Hikaru's death he started to see "Hikaru" as someone different, wanting to help him. Meanwhile, even tho it's less clear, Hikaru also had feelings for Yoshiki.
Hikaru was told that his family members should get married quickly because the family is safe from Unuki-sama, and if they wait too long, their loved one will be taken by it, by marrying them they would become part of the family and automatically safe.
Hikaru can't marry Yoshiki because he's a boy 🧍♂️.
After his death "Hikaru" takes his place, his dying wish was for this entity to keep Yoshiki company (in the one-shot published by the author BEFORE the series his wish was to tell Yoshiki about his feelings).
Meanwhile "Hikaru" gets immediately attached to Yoshiki. When Yoshiki asks him if he's really Hikaru, he hugs him and cries, not wanting to kill him cause he likes him.
"Hikaru" has also given sort of a confirmation of the real Hikaru's feelings (saying that he's probably so attached to Yoshiki bc the original already was).
In later chapters (I believe volume 5), "Hikaru" also tells Yoshiki that he loves him, he doesn't know if it's platonic or romantic, that's it.
So in conclusion, TSHD isn't officially a BL, but it's obviously meant to be queer and that's an important part of the story, so denying Yoshiki and Hikaru / "Hikaru" 's identity is wrong.
2) The Fujoshis will mischaracterize them?
I don't really like using terms for my reading preferences, but I also don't like getting stuff wrong, so as far as I'm aware, Fujoshi is just a name used for girls who read BL, are there girls who fetishize mlm relationships? Yeah, but we shouldn't act like it's a "Fujoshi thing" where all of them do it.
It does bother me that a lot of girls will get into the series just because they heard it's a BL, and that will definitely bring mischaracterization of some scenes, but like, all fandoms have this issues and if that's one of the prices to get this series more popular I'm lowkey down for it ig...
Anyone has their preferences in reading and as long as the mcs don't get sexualised (they're 16/17!!) I really don't care that much, and you shouldn't either 🫶
Thanks for reading! I hope It makes sense lmao

What it’s like when you and the gang are in different fandoms
I still don't quite understand why they wear those respirator masks in Kaiju no 8, but what I DO KNOW is that if yours were to break, Gen would give you his, without hesitation.
Just imagine you're injured, cradled in Gens' arms and struggling to breathe from all the toxins and dust in the air, so Gen pulls off his masks, not even wasting a single thought on his well being, and puts it over your mouth, instructing you to take deep breaths while he wates for help to come.
hey everyone its april fools. but dont worry i dont have anything planned. just going to sit here and...
