Shut up Takao, you know nothing. Your monolgue is delusional and you undervalue your own importance. Midorima will go back to practising all by himself? Sorry, but every time we see him practice you’re right there with him and in his future flashback it’s even implied that you always stay behind alongside him. And he’s irritating? You’re the one who keeps waiting for him and going to find him whenever you’re separated, and insists he spends more time with you. Though to be fair, that’s completely mutual.

You’re the one who’s always by his side and you’re the one who shows most understanding of who he is. You’re the one who’s always smiling around him and proving that you know what he’s really thinking when he’s being dishonest. You’re the one who respects his boundaries and you’re the one who knows when you can push more, and you’re the one who became his partner, and showed him what teamplay is all about. You’re the one whose passes always reaches him.

So stop with this nonsenses that Kuroko was the one to change Midorima. Without you it wouldn’t have happened even if he lost to teamwork. It was thanks to you that he could rely on his team mates and it was you who taught him trust.

You’re only fooling yourself with monologues like these.

Worth the Effort [KiKasa]

thanksillpass:

The main reason Kise Ryouta was so bored with his life was that he never had to try for anything. He couldn’t help but consider everything he gained so effortlessly a little bit worthless, or at least completely uninteresting. His fans were a faceless mass that stroked his ego just fine, sure, but he never bothered to really appreciated them. His job seemed to be everything one could ever dream of, but to Ryouta it was just a job – boring, tedious, passionless duty.

So no one could really blame him for desperately clutching to basketball and the Generation of Miracles, the only things he ever had to try for. He didn’t pester Kurokocchi just for the sake of it; Kuroko made him work for his friendship and Ryouta was seduced by the idea of effort. He didn’t admire Aominecchi just because he was amazing; he set the bar so high that Ryouta couldn’t help but strive to reach it, no matter what.

His Kaijou teammates weren’t much in comparison to Teikou. Ryouta wasn’t ashamed of looking down on them at first; only much later. That’s why he acknowledged Kagamicchi – he was the first one to prove to Ryouta that high school wasn’t going to be boring or depressing just because his old team had split up like a cheap boyband. He was the one to show Ryouta there was still so much to discover and fight for.

And there was Ryouta’s captain.

wait so

if takao has the hawk eye

and izuki has the eagle eye

shouldn’t this have happened before? shouldn’t seirin be aware that there’s a possibility someone could see kuroko even with misdirection? eagle eye can’t see as much as hawk eye yeah but izuki can still see a significant part of the court.

maybe i’m just not remembering it properly.

so like maybe i’m wrong but how much wider is the hawk eye’s field of vision than eagle eye? like. seirin still has izuki’s eagle eye so it’s not like it’ll be super easy to bypass it even if the range is smaller.

note also that rakuzan didn’t use misdirection against shuutoku bc of takao’s hawk eye and seirin has. rakuzan is less creative with their plays. seirin has used misdirection to keep takao’s attention on kuroko to bypass it while rakuzan didn’t. does that say more about mayuzumi’s ability to use misdirection, rakuzan’s general playstyle and strategy, or their confidence in their ability to defeat their opponents? or all three?
