For the Future

If it feels wrong, don’t do it

Say exactly what you mean

Don’t be a people pleaser

Trust your instincts 

Never speak bad about yourself

Never give up on your dreams

Don’t be afraid to say “no”

Don’t be afraid to say “yes”

Be KIND to yourself

Let go of what you can’t control

Stay away from drama & negativity

[Translation] Free!DF Spotlight Color: Haruka Nanase -  Cross Talk 02

Theme 02: “What is his personality like?”

Rin: Hmm, it’s difficult to to have to put it into words…

Sousuke: That’s true. Cuz sometimes you just can’t understand what he’s thinking.

Rin: Yeah, it’s like Haru speaks his own unique language. Although you can understand him if Makoto is around. Some to think of it, you don’t really talk to Haru much, Sousuke.

Sousuke: No, probably not.

Rin: Before we graduated high school, we ran into Haru and Makoto at the shopping mall, remember? That time, both you and Haru had to wait together by chance, and it was kinda funny how you guys didn’t say a word to each other at all.

Sousuke: It’s not like there’s much to talk about. We did talk about the weather, though.

Rin: The weather!? …anyway, it’s hard to tell in normal conversations, but once we’re in water, you kinda get a gist of Haru as a person. You just think, aah, so he’s this kinda guy. It’s like he heats up, or should I say he gets fired up.

Sousuke: That’s true. When he swims, the look in his eyes changes.

Rin: And he’s a bit different from the other guys. You can say he’s eccentric.

Sousuke: Like you’re the one to talk, Rin.

Rin: Huh? What do you mean by that?

Sousuke: To me, you’re pretty eccentric yourself. Both Haru and you are oddballs of a sort.

Rin: What!? Hey, how dare you!? Don’t put me in the same lot with Haru!!

Okay, here we go. I didn’t know if you mean the pairing in general on harurin like haru tops, so I just list all my faves and if they’re explicit, I’ll write if it’s rinharu or harurin :)

If I remember something else, I’ll add it. Thanks for waiting, I just needed some time to answer this. Anyway lots of smut there, but I don’t make the rules:

wow i’m actually pretty flattered by this considering i’m one of many shipper fans, but ok! :D (i assume you meant expert XP)

hmmm, a fic rec post. i wanted to make a side page for all that is good and rinharu in fics, but then i got lazy :’D lemme bring up my bookmarks on ao3 and slap em on here :) i’m gonna put them in no real order: just what appears on my bookmarks list in chronological order plus any fics i happen to remember X)

pls note i’m a lil sleepy and it’s past my bedtime but i always answer the call of rinharu (ノ￣ー￣)ノ and i’m gonna inject my own commentary (that’s to be taken with a pinch of salt because hHA SLEEP) and all that jazz below the cut :))

EDIT: It’s morning now and I’m using proper grammar and capitalisation again :’) I’ll just keep adding what I remember to this list <3
