Millennial (sorry) with AuDHD (not sorry). A volleyball anime saved my life and made me unashamedly cringe. Red panda on the other place. Probably your only Melanau friend. https://ko-fi.com/rincredible

Genuinely love how Southeast Asians are sending mutual aid to their comrades in Indonesia, but at the same time I can't help but wish that we just had governments that aren't corrupt and authoritarian and increasingly right wing. #SEAblings solidarity is great but less oppression is better, y'know?

For most of the earlier episodes, it wasn't so bad, but the cursed meme quality started being a little hard to ignore around the New Year episode. The opening looks amazing, which just makes the less pretty bits more obvious.

The pacing was also a little off, and I missed how much of the court action we saw in previous seasons. The voice acting was great as always, and the music in it is probably my favourite of all the seasons, and I genuinely like how more people got tiny bits of the spotlight.

Meanwhile even back in the relatively dark ages of fansubs you had colour-coded subs, subs on different parts of the screen, subs for song lyrics, thought bubbles, shop signs/posters, and cultural context. Because of all this, most subs wouldn't be so Americanised—

Formatting was another, although I'm noticing some streaming companies are now better about it. When I was doing subs, we were limited to two lines at the bottom on the screen, a very low character limit per line, no scroll, and single colour, even if multiple people were talking at the same time.

Idk folks, if the financial viability of an entire industry hinges on the undeserved benevolence of people who had their life's work stolen to power it, then the industry deserves to be ruined.

Yay! I'm re-watching S3 too, I know Ushijima is supposed to be this massive scary top tier high school athlete but honestly he's just funny because he's so blunt.

Thank you for this. I initially thought the article referenced was the op-ed about Sophie Rottenberg, who had used a ChatGPT AI therapist. Neither should have happened.

I must have watched this at least 5 times before I noticed the one-seat gap Iwaizumi and Oikawa deliberately left between them, and even then it took a guy friend to point it out (he said it's like when guy's don't use the urinal immediately next to someone when they're in a public toilet).

Oikawa and Iwaizumi from the anime Haikyuu!!, watching a volleyball match. Oikawa is wearing a dark blue double-breasted jacket over a white shirt and beige vest, brown trousers, and half-rim glasses. Iwaizumi is wearing a grey blue jacket, possibly denim, over a light grey hoodie and black trousers. Their height being above average is indicates by how high their knees are as they sit in the arena seats. They are seated with the seat between them deliberately left empty.

meet ham, depresso omi handler extraordinaire 😸🖤 based on the lovely fic by @trivialsacrifice.bsky.social 4/9

Digital art comic based on Bluesky user @trivialsacrifice's sakuatsu fanfiction. The comic is pov Sakusa Kiyoomi's cat in the story. Panel 1: Ham's Can Opener Troubleshooting Guide Drawing of a fluffy dark gray and white tuxedo cat with yellow eyes. Caption: Hi! I'm Ham, short for Ham Sandwich, The First of Her Name. Panel 2: Doodle of Sakusa Kiyoomi wearing a neon yellow top and neon green pants with white socks and black slides. The cuffs and hems are rolled up. Arrows indicate his body parts as Ham perceives them: head fur(not fluffy), opposable thumbs, scritch pro 3000, scratch post, chew toy, heating pad. Caption: This is my Can Opener. He is gentle and diligent. He is excellent at opening cans, brushing my fur and bagging my turds. Panel 3: Doodle of Sakusa Kiyoomi in bed with covers pulled up to his chin. He has a tired and defeated look on his face. The cat Ham is standing on the bed next to him, meowing loudly, tongue sticking out. The bedding is various shades of muted green, the headboard is dark wood. Caption: He is usually great at his job, but every now and then, he runs into technical issues. On some days, he misses the can opening time. If your can opener also has this issue, you can resolve it by giving them a pep talk. Panel 4: Sakusa Kiyoomi is wearing the same neon homewear combo from panel 2, lying face down on a light green couch. He is too tall for the couch and his legs dangle over the arm rest. Scattered on the floor are dirty dishes and laundry, tissues, an empty can and a messenger bag. The cat is lying on its back and trying to get Sakusa's attention. Caption: Sometimes the malfunction is a little severe. He might not notice me, even though I am perfect.

It's kinda corny but I really do like the whole "worthless pride" insult because of how Oikawa later referred to it when they met post-timeskip, and I also like what Oikawa said about how a murder of crows working together could take down a single big white eagle. Drama King Oikawa is peak.

—but he would likely not have had to challenge himself as much as he did at Seijoh where he has to set to players with very different playstyles, which resulted in him being a better player overall (also he wouldn't have had Iwaizumi to keep him in check if he went overboard).

Oikawa's confrontation with Ushijima is really good, because like most of the arguments and exchanges of barbs in the show, both sides are right. Oikawa would have a better chance at high school nationals with a team that did it three in a row (presumably twice with Ushijima)—

Anyway, the end of Haikyuu!! S2 is always so good no matter how many times I've watched it. Iwaizumi and Kindaichi crying and not a single person telling them to man up is nice (to be fair I don't think anyone says that when anyone else cries either).

Classism is a major thing in Malaysia and people are often say the most cruel things about poor people so casually, because they view poverty as a moral failing. The reality is any one of us can be poor—all it takes is one unfortunate circumstance.

Some housing areas have playgrounds and parks but they're fenced up and only accessible to the people who live in those areas. I remember seeing a photo of a park in a housing area, literally right behind some low-cost flats, but the people from the flats can't go to them.
