sousuke and makoto are emotionally interdependent on each other
i noticed that in the final stroke movies makoto and sousuke watch some of rin and haru's competitions together... alone? Which was interesting because it would show in scenes that their friends were also watching.
but then I realized that for both makoto and sousuke, watching rin and haru race is such a high intensity, emotional moment for both of them... They're both anxious about their best friends' performances and watching them live out their dream... They both agreed that watching them swim made them nervous...
But it seems like they actually start choosing to watch these competitions alone because they know how the other is feeling. Sousuke even watches this haru race with makoto even when rin isn't swimming and reassures him that everyone's feeling the same. To me, it shows that they're relying on each other for support in times of high anxiety.
EDIT: I had to add this. Sousuke sees Haru's overworking himself and tiring himself out. Sousuke also sees people like ikuya and Asahi working hard to help Haru out, cheering him on. Then sousuke goes to say the following:
Although Sousuke is talking about a bunch of their friends, Sousuke already knows Makoto is the most consistently devoted person in Haru's life. he way he frames it—telling Haru to "at least take notice"—suggests that Sousuke has noticed how much Makoto constantly looks out for and thinks about Haru. Sousuke telling haru to pay attention to his friends more (but mostly makoto...) sousuke noticing that in the first place, Sousuke relating to both haru and makoto at the same time... as the friend who didn't take care of himself and the overlooked one maybe that's why they mix the blues and greens for him for some of his outfits.
Another instance Makoto puts a lot of trust in sousuke's care and friendship is after Haru's freestyle race with kaede and he practically passes out after. Makoto knows that Haru needs medical attention (or rest at least). So he runs out to find Haru after the race is finished.
except he doesn't go straight to haru. He actually calls sousuke first. The tachibana makoto who always puts the burden on himself to take care of haru goes out and finds sousuke and relies on his strength and care while being emotionally vulnerable in front of him…..
/the/ makoto who's fiercely protective of haru trusts sousuke enough to carry haru to the clinic... mind you the guy just went thru REHAB..... either makoto trusted sousuke more in carrying him or sousuke offered which in both ways shows their mutual reliability and care for each other.
i also think it shows Makoto who often shoulders responsibility alone (especially when it comes to haru) shows that he's learning to rely on others and sees sousuke as someone who can support him and someone he has a genuine trust and relationship with. While also solidifying sousuke's role among their group of friends/family.
I think it's beautiful the two characters in free! who have emotionally, mentally, and physically sacrificed themselves due to their fierce loyalty and protectiveness of their friend(s) finds solstice in each other despite often times hiding their emotions from those who care about them… By becoming emotional, mental, and physical strengths for each other instead?? (watching high anxiety competitions together, sousuke helping makoto with haru, makoto helping sousuke through rehab).
I'm happy the two have someone they can share their burdens with and someone who matches their own thoughtfulness.
bonus: makoto welcoming sousuke back to the swimming competition world ("Sousuke, okaeri."). he's so proud of how hard sousuke worked especially as the coach who helped him train ;;;

In S2 Makoto is the first character to know about Sousuke’s shoulder injury and worry about it. Kisumi thought he was healing, Haru thought if Sousuke is still swimming it’s fine, Rin didn't even know yet.
Makoto is a Sousuke yapper. Gets asked one question about him and he tells an entire story about how interesting and funny he is
Makoto called Sousuke about Ikuya and admitted that he thinks Ikuya’s changed. Makoto opens up to Sousuke about a friend Sousuke doesn’t even really know, but does so anyways.
Sousuke knows Makoto does a lot for his friends, acknowledged it to Makoto, and admits that it’s why people look out for him (hinting at himself).
Sousuke knows Makoto is multifaceted. He calls him powerful swimmer with nice muscles, and knows Makoto is a little clumsy so reminds him to be careful multiple times during different occasions.
Throughout the entirety of the Final Stroke movies Sousuke realized how stressed Makoto was, and consistently tried to comfort him about it
Sousuke is constantly observing Makoto?? See last three points.
Sousuke’s beginning views of friendships were based off competing and competition but toward the end of the series he’s whole heartedly emotionally supporting Makoto in a way we haven’t really seen from him before. Makoto is directly being used to show Sousuke's growth in how he views connections.
Makoto trains Sousuke to “replace” him as the backstroke swimmer in the main relay team. Allowing the two to professionally debut together because of each other.
Finally, s2 is SouMako’s shared paralleled season. Makoto and Sousuke’s emotional arcs with Haru and Rin is the driving force of Eternal Summer. With the coaching episode reflecting both of their potential futures and the Timeless Medley movies focusing on Makoto and Sousuke separately.

I loveeeee how your art, especially how you incorporate traditional clothing into your designs. Can I ask where you usually find references for the clothing you draw and are there any sources you'd reccomend for someone interested in learning more about traditional clothing and textiles? Thank youuu!!
Hey! uhm.. i hope its okay to link some of my previous ask with similar question i replyed to in the past.
Link, link, link, link <-this one comes with a wonderful addition
my method didn't change and its not like there are specific link or sources that always include everything. not that it is what you ask anon. but a lot what i do is like... fact matching and checking. or watch tutorials on youtube by typing ing "how to get dressed as a buddhist monk in indonesia" and watch the video.
the steps are like:
1. wikipedia for base knowledge
2. find a museum who exihbits the item of clothing i am interested in
or find a travel blog/forum/guide that shares the cluture.
when it comes to indiginous people they do have their own websites more often (but some of my previous link's are now offline sorry. and tbh i never safe links i just... type in the search bar what i want and it spits out museums archives or travel blog information and such)
3. never underestimate the wast knowledge within reddit post when it comes to armor discussion. (please go the extra mailt o fact check just to be safe)
4. there are people on youtube that dedicate their freetime in educating and sharing their culture with the world
link, link, link, link,
i want to emphasize... its not jut the item of clothing. but its the whole enviorment and history around it that should be looked at. because it all connects. which can make research sometimes a bit extensive. but its fun to me!
when it comes to atla characters redesign. good starting point is and will always remain @atlaculture.
i owe them like... theoretically.... nearly everything i make so big thanks to them and all the time and effort they put in their blog!
Aww, thanks, Chip! Seeing amazing re-designs like yours also motivates me to keep writing more. ^_^
Your Khmer Fire Nation fanart is genuinely so meaningful to me. It's not often that I see that part of my heritage depicted with such detail and skill, especially by a non-Khmer person!

Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.
So in case anyone needs it:

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
