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?

for a fake bitch who didn’t deserve this fic. (midotaka, pacific rim au, 1830 words)

They’re not friends.

Takao has heard all the blather people spout when they talk about drifting (“the deeper the bond, the better you fight”) and he can attest that it’s utter bullshit. You don’t have to like someone to fight with them, and sometimes he wonders how other pilots can still like their partners after finding out every dark and ugly thing about them. It doesn’t make sense.

He has no idea how anyone can stand Midorima, to be honest, but their compatibility score is near perfect. Midorima’s lethal shooting accuracy paired with Takao’s instinct and flexibility makes them one of the best Jaeger teams in the country, possibly the world.

But they’re not friends.
