Oh god, just this moment of empathy.
Rin has spent so many years feeling not good enough, feeling second best, feeling like he has failed his father, failed to be a good son, failed his own dreams because he is so torn up over his inferiority complex and losing to Haru all those years ago. And here is Nitori, able to verbalize those feelings more honestly and truthfully than Rin EVER could. And for the first time it’s like Rin can SEE him, really SEE him, because he realizes he’s looking in a mirror.
That moment when the cute side character becomes vital to one of the main characters.
The thoughts in my head just… this almost turned into a porny headcanon then I remembered that I have another con to get ready for -_- But uh… yeah, porny thoughts. Porn. Swimming.

Reblogging because she’s totally talking about my clock :) Thank you so much for your purchase! Remember to keep Haru clock by water at all times.

Free episode 6: Aside from thinking “omg makoto did you just confess to haruka owo” I can’t help but be reminded of that other scene with Rin & Haru during the 4th ep, idk
This is a good point! Makoto wants to swim with Haruka. He can push past his fears to do this. He wants to enjoy this with Haruka, and be a part of it. Rin doesn’t want the same thing. He wants Haruka to swin for him, to prove to himself that he’s improved.
Makoto doesn’t want to prove anything, he just wants to enjoy something with his friend.
I also remember the second episode. Don’t forget, Rin BEAT Haruka, but that wasn’t enough. Haruka didn’t even care, in fact, I think it’s a bit more tragic than that (omg tragedy in my swimming anime whut?) Haruka beat Rin when they were kids and it hurt Rin so much, that Haruka couldn’t stand what it did to him. He even stopped swimming because of it (which points back to this scene with Makoto, who wants to swim with Haruka, because he knows he loves swimming and he knows why he stopped, so maybe he wants those happy times with his friend again). So you’d think that, hey, this time Rin beat him, maybe Haruka can have his happy friend back?
No :(
I don’t think Rin is a bad guy, though. Who knows what happened while he was away. He’s cold, yeah, but you can tell he still cares. He jogs past their tents on the beach, after having woken up at 2 am to see the storm, so you know he jogged past to make sure they were o.k. You can jog anywhere, right? Why did he jog there? He also talks to Gou (finally) and showed concerned for Makoto when he found out they were swimming in the ocean. So it’s not just Haruka, it’s everyone. They were all friends and Rin remembers that.

Yeah, I almost screamed and yelled during 4 a.m.
i was going to make this exact comic i’m so glad PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE ELSE DID THE SAME THING DURING THIS EP ffFFUCk
It’s o.k.! Because Haru’s lips kissed the water, and Mako’s lips kissed the water, so in a way they kissed!

What the shit Haruka
What the shit this whole show
but i love it anyway
Seriously guys, I wonder if Haruka’s parents realize what they did that day. They sealed their sons fate. They lost him to the mistress that is the water. That’s why they don’t live in that house with him, they’ve accepted the fact that Haruka only has one true guardian: the water.
See like this this is suddenly another ship the ships are everywhere in this fandom!
Guys.
Are we sure that this isn’t a canon yaoi anime?
I mean o.k. o.k. sorry I know it’s not canon.
But.
Like.
Guys?
