my little spin on the iconic delicious in dungeon comic, but with my favorite scene from thriller bark
short itoshi brothers babble
i’ve been thinking about this for a while now and could sae saying “don’t use me as your reason to play football ever again.” imply him feeling disappointed in himself for failing rin as an older brother?
sae has shown that growing up, he was always there for rin both in and out of soccer cases—he’s really a big brother :(( so i’m placing a guess that sae failing and letting go of his and rin’s dream of becoming the world’s best strikers really made him believe that if rin continues to follow his footsteps—like what rin has always done—rin might end up failing, too. and because i refuse to believe that sae just threw away his big bro heart so stupidly like that!! i really think sae, as rin’s big brother, wants the best for rin: so he doesn’t want rin to end up in such a shithole like him. but these brothers don’t know how to convey anything well…🥹
also, how brutal was it for sae to once be saying how rin’s his little brother and how he’s rin’s big bro so innocently only for it to be so laced with malice when they got older ueue
“It’s unrequited.” Sae literally slides in, never speaking to shidou once PRIOR TO THIS INTERACTION, with “𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧.“
SIR??? MY?? LITTLE??? DEMON??
Yknow I think the funniest thing about Kira was how he was so moral BECAUSE he truly believed he had a fallback. He'd been told his whole life that he was destined to be a star player and had people constantly reaffirming his worth. The people who really went for the Blue Lock concept were all nobodies to someone or at some point. They had no reason to protect their team or look out for those around them because either no one ever protected or respected them OR their future wasn't guaranteed. Kira's talent and supporters made him passive and took away his ability to be hungry, to constantly improve, to beat people he knew were statistically "worse" than him.
I'm crying at this tweet I saw in the wild.
Nagi what are you doing to that poor boy, and Isagi, good work.
Aikusen is peak spoiled prince and the exasperated knight who looked out for him since childhood idk what else to tell you
The Itoshi Brothers feud is funny because it seems they have decided to fight solely during matches and not actually throw hands like brothers do. We know Rin can fight so I'm suprised he never tries to go for Sae's throat on sight lmao.
From reading countless Bleach fanfiction as of late, the one thing I hate most of all in all of the fics I've read is all the Ichigo is a fucking English translator erasure!

And DON'T get me started on Meguru being added to the equation, the untouch potential of stepfather(father figure) Lavinho and son Meguru. *Eheh* (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

Don't hate me please. I mainly do shipping for fun and don't like taking it seriously, all the ships listen I just see potential in. As long as it's not problematic at least.
I hope people actually see this and comment. (Hopefully positive things)

Repost time of my art!
I want to really repost my first comission that I did for @fabuloustrash05 on her fanfic Courting A Salamandrian from my old deleted account. And I still am really grateful for letting me do her cover art of he fic.
I love Suffering animatics/art where Odysseus has a chain or rope around his ankle, connecting him to the mast. not only is it a great reference to the source material, but it implies that someone on the ship was worried that the mere sight of Penelope might convince Odysseus to jump in the water, even though he knows its a siren who will kill him
and that they were so persuasive in this argument that Odysseus actually agreed to it
I love the fact that so many trans blue lock fans headcanon sae itoshi as transmasc … like, why is this the collective mindset? Either way it’s beautiful, and I support it all the way
Damn, I really do love how realistic the family dynamics in blue lock are and it’s been such an unexpected surprise. Like there’s so much range
a rich kid who was spoiled by his parents but also was expected to do the most and so now has crazy perfectionist tendencies
a kid that was taken care of materially but was absolutely neglected by his parents, and now as a teen has to learn how to socialize and be close to others in a way that he probably craves but doesn’t know how
a kid with totally normal parents that support his hobbies and want the best for him without expecting the moon, probably in a very average way (get a good job, marry a nice person, etc.)
a kid of divorced parents that used their child as a way to project and navigate their relationship failures, leaving him feeling isolated and with the burden to bring peace to his family through his success
a kid with curious and destructive tendencies, who’s parents tried their best to raise him but fell in the trap of trying to adjust him to their sense of normalcy rather than to understand his instincts. also had an older brother he placed on a pedestal that tried to protect him from the burdens that were placed on them, which inevitably backfired as they were just a child too.
a kid with a single mom who raised him with so much care and acceptance, encouraging him to embrace his feelings
a kid who was raised kinda by a single dad, but grew up in a very abusive home that told he was worthless and instilled so much self hatred
But now they all just… play soccer together.
…and try to navigate that time when you’re a teen and you realize how fucked up your childhood was, while also forming your own identity outside of the world your parents built for you (kinda like what all my friends and I did when we ended up in the same college together lol)
fem Barou would still get called king but I think some people (maybe most people) would say it in a derogatory way
blue lock manga chapter 271 spoilers, mentions, and analysis (this is an absolute word vomit)
my drabbles, understanding, and analysis on the itoshi family goes something like: when the itoshi parents didn’t know how to properly deal with rin’s behavior when he was little but sae seemed to be the only one that can ‘understand’ and ‘get along’ with rin—they unintentionally gave the responsibility to sae.
i suspect that their thinking is something along the lines of “sae seems like he’s got an understanding of rin that we don’t, maybe it’s better that way, he’s rin’s big brother, after all.”
and honestly, i think that’s why we as the readers find the itoshi parents “distant” from the brothers’ lives.
but do i think they’re bad parents? not necessarily, although i also do think that they could’ve done more. but given certain circumstances…it’s kind of subjective.
let’s talk about itoshi mom first
evidently, itoshi mom is a very concerned mother: she doubts herself, she’s worries for rin (and sae), and she’s generally lost.
and how could she not feel all those things?
i perceive this as she’s a mother who doesn’t distance herself from her children, but because she doesn’t know what to do at all, she seems hopeless and doesn’t have any solution to fix things. naturally, she has the instinct to do what a parent should in times like scolding, etc—however, this is blue lock, everyone has their own ‘ego’, yet some of those inner desires are just cultivated beyond rationality at this point.
(which strengthens my suspicion about the itoshi parents unconsciously putting the responsibility of rin’s behavior onto sae…)
now, itoshi dad
honestly, i don’t have much to say about him, he’s pretty hands off with what’s happening with their children.
as seen, he does seem more composed and lax about everything, and sae definitely got that from him. i wonder if it’s because of itoshi dad’s ‘talks’ (?) with sae that somewhat developed sae to be the big brother he was to rin back when they were little.
i believe the narrative is just implying that he doesn’t think much of the behavioral differences that rin and sae show, even when rin gets injured and gets in trouble, which is a little yikes on his end but that’s just what i understood.
most definitely, the siblings got the trait of being closed off from their dad, lol.
overall, i still don’t believe they’re bad parents whatsoever. however, i do want to talk about my recurring theory that the itoshi parents gradually placed the responsibility of rin’s behavior (and his whole development) onto sae.
let’s discuss the impact of itoshi sae
when sae was around 13-14, he went to spain, and during the pre-teen/teenage years of the itoshi brothers, their family seems rather peaceful.
the itoshi parents—aside from the pride and joy they felt about sae’s success as a rising soccer player—seem rather refreshed, anew, and just happier. they don’t carry the gloom of being worried for their children’s behavior anymore.
but why?
it’s because of rin and sae’s bond over soccer. from a young age, rin has joined his big brother’s soccer team as they both relished the games they could never play with anyone else aside from each other. basically, the itoshi brothers found what they were for. and they definitely got occupied over it.
though i’m only connecting the dots for my own analysis, i firmly believe that the moment rin played soccer with sae, he found a way for his destructive mindset to be utilized. through soccer—the only thing rin has been focusing on—rin was able to effectively let out his desire to break, destroy, and kill what’s “amazing/perfect”.
and who was the only one there by his side, every pass after pass and goal after goal? of course, it’s his big brother. the one to only truly understand and see rin from the very beginning.
honestly, it all makes me wonder if they ever talked to him one-on-one with sae about rin’s behavior. (which honestly makes sense, because sae seems like a pretty obedient kid). but at the same time, what are the chances it made sae extremely analytical, too?
i mean, sae was deemed a prodigy at what 7 years old? that’s seriously insane. so it shouldn’t be a surprise that all of what’s leading up to the ego of the itoshi siblings plays a big part. i’m leaning on the possibility that sae was somehow influenced by the itoshi parents to be more keen or observant on rin—that or sae was only doing what he did out of pure instinct, that’s entirely plausible.
however, whatever the course may be, the outcome that sae noticed something with rin (even before their ego in soccer) will not change.
from this point onwards is just my random babbles about the itoshi family’s relationship (kind of…)
“but when sae left for spain the itoshi parents didn’t appear to care about rin-” i am not hearing that. we should remember that blue lock is (honestly borderline but whatever) about SOCCER.
i believe the first ever backstory we got of the itoshi siblings was only soccer-centered, and in rin’s perspective/narration. why would his parents be included in his soccer career when they most definitely weren’t?
again, i don’t believe that they’re bad parents.
also, i doubt that itoshi mom would ever just stop worrying about rin, even when he’s grown up! in fact, i think that with sae leaving for spain, she probably felt even worried because their children are separated. yet at the same time, i do see her not knowing what to really do again. perhaps they had no cameo after the airport scene because rin found it irrelevant in regards to soccer and his ego.
but, then again, i’m very certain that the itoshi parents do care for their children, and are still connected to them somehow…just not when it comes to the field.
aside from the second backstory (the most recent one) they look out for them (i assume this goes for rin too). in the character book the egoist bible, sae mentioned how his parents send him salted kelp from home to go with his rice when he asks. additionally, we saw itoshi dad say in their first back story for sae to “take care of your health!” as he leaves for spain. the itoshi parents do seem to care for rin and sae as supportive parents of athletes, however, only in the sidelines, because i personally don’t think it goes deeper than that.
honestly, everything for me is pointing that the itoshi parents aren’t active and present in the itoshi brothers’ soccer careers. not necessarily implied, but in the ‘another blue lock: episode omotesando’, rin is the only one seen that has a ticket to sae’s japan triumphant match. a ticket sae sent—of which i assume—only to him.
although this is all still just my speculation, i am still leaning on that the itoshi parents aren’t really relevant in the itoshi siblings’ soccer life, but rather, they play a role in how they ended up developing.
that’s all!
again, this is just my own thoughts about this chapter. this is not canon by any means and i am not forcefully saying what i am discussing is right and should be deemed the only theory/ies out there.
i’d love to talk more about theories and analyses on blue lock, let’s chat!
