happy birthday my guy!! thank you for introducing me to so many worlds 😌💚

might be because i’m so emotionally attached but rereading haikyuu in my 20’s really did help me. it’s so motivating and so relatable. yes, volleyball is a large part of it, but the emotions and thoughts throughout the story are much more than that. you can apply all the lessons throughout the story to your own life. it is SO MUCH MORE than a sports manga. it changed my life for the better. all the effort you put into things will work out in the end. you’ll find your passion. the connections you make will fuel your life and last forever. you might not feel you have accomplished anything, but all your hard work will pay off in time. TODAY YOU WERE THE DEFEATED, BUT WHAT WILL YOU BECOME TOMORROW?

I think a lot about how in Ice Age 1 a huge theme is the slow but unstoppable advancement of the human species as they start to threaten previously unchallenged megafauna (hunting the pack of the antagonist sabertooth and killing Manny the mammoth’s family) and then in all the sequels they just fuckin disappear
