i’ve just gotten to the part in my likes where a lot of omgcp stuff starts showing up and i’ll be adding them to the queue (but won’t see them for a couple days)
When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:
“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”
Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.
I don’t know what counts as a long series with most people, but it’s only 333 chapters and anime?? what anime???
There are a ton~ of reasons why this is a really amazing series, and Shin and Sena’s sport rivalry is definitely one (like they pretty much have my favorite sports rivalry relationship ever).
Like, they’re always pushing each other to surpass their limits and to get better and faster and stronger, and yet there’s no animosity between them. Like, Shin’s blunt about Sena’s shortcomings, but he’s not purposefully mean or rude, while Sena literally thinks that Shin’s the best player, no matter who he’s playing. Even on the field, it’s super competitive, but not mean spirited.
Plus Shin only smiles like twice in the series, and both times have to do with Sena so…
