On another note I’m so glad Germany won bc it’s more likely Rin will lose his mind like I wanted him to which I cannot wait for
On the other hand when things go too well for the protagonist for too long I worry a little and wonder when it’s going to crash down.
On the OTHER HAND when I think of the entire arc I remember how fucking awful things have been for him pretty much the whole arc so it might just be recency bias. Not only with Kaiser but Rin really shook things up and made it a special kind of hell for him. And Rin asked for this by being so obsessive abd misplacing his anger in Isagi and not mentally preparing for the very real possibility that Isagi would beat him. Can’t wait for that break down lol
Untouched points: Bachira has lost all his games and ChigirI and Nagi lost all their games, and they’re currently playing each other right now. The undefeated team just got confirmed so now we’re waiting on who is the team that never defeated anybody
Reasons for Bachira to loss: opportunity to grow, be the opposite of Isagi and make room for a plot point for them to meet in the middle (Isagi iron out some of his flaws/hold ups and Bachira grow), love story in the making I believe in them
Reasons for Nagi to lose: crash out divorce #3 backslide #2 dumpster fire arc that is inevitable whether he wins or loses but if he loses it’ll flow nicely; Nagi and Rin both being the main personal conflicts in the end makes the most sense to me as they’re both really tied to Isagi, this is the reality even though Isagi has never once directly done anything to them, so they’ll be responsible for figuring their own drama out, also possible Bachi is in on this drama somehow too, all tied to Isagi
Reason for Chigiri to lose: uhhh leg injury lurking in the corner, drama with Kunigami unaddressed and it’ll be interesting that one wins all their games and one loses all their games (dramatic love story dawg), Kaneshiro said he was gonna be an asshole somehow so this could open the way for that
Personally I want Nagi to lose but both options are good
I’m so glad Germany won lol
We already know Isagi and Sae are gonna team up so I’m assuming Isagi is gonna continue to indirectly ruin Rin’s life and this will lead to Sae and Rin figuring their shit out.

What ppl don’t understand about Kabru (of Utaya) is that his natural state is not bitter hater. That’s Chilchuck. Kabru is only a bitter hater around Laios bc Laios has a unique talent for pissing other autistic ppl off. Kabru’s natural state is being a weird overly talkative charismatic freak who’s way too much in everyone’s business. He’s like a cheery yoga mom on 800mg of caffeine and no sleep.
If you don't like getting queerbaited watch something with actual gay people like shounen anime

Now the ceasefire has been breached and there are a large number of martyrs and wounded. Blood is everywhere.
Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!
The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.
This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.
Here is a short and easy video showing this in action
The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.
You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.
If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!
I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.
If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!
this made more sense when i was operating on 0 sleep..
As a fandom, we have to acknowledge that Akaashi is weirder than Bokuto.
