#yeah ik

I always wanna be there for my friends, but I can’t handle hearing your venting at 7am. Im sorry. Like i wish i could help, really, but i just hfff im still waking up, processing, and more than half the time i don’t know what to say, because i don’t want to say something wrong. It’s sensitive and deep stuff, and i just don’t know what to fucking do anymore. I can’t tell her to stop because it’d be insensitive, but i’ve noticed that i literally shut down when she talks about the stuff. I mean, i’ll listen i suppose, but i can’t guarantee the right words to come up, or any words at all. I’ve never had to personally deal with the stuff she talks about, so i justahfksjfo explodes.

The whole series talks about the phenomenon of being so good at something that once the challenge starts to fade we can lose interest— but the second that aomine is on the court with kagami, you can tell he’s finally having fun. When they play again, the world can tell that they’re both having fun. When something new arises that all these players have to face, they start feeling loss again. Midorima cries when shutoku loses in the winter cup, he cries because he can’t play basketball anymore, he cries because finally there was something in him that wanted to face his actual opponents, something that wanted to win alongside his teammates, and he lost to it. And he couldn’t play anymore.
