Imagine a few years from now Nagireo have their melodramatic, sad, nostalgic and romantically tense reunion before a match with team z 4 watching be like:
N & R *looking at eachother like they would bang in front of the whole stadium*
Isagi *looking at his feet: Yep, the grass is very green
Bachi *looking at the clouds and whistling
Kuni *shifting uncomfortably
Chigiri *staring straight at them: disgusting (affectionate)
If you think Nagi's confession and Reo's reaction is dramatic in blue lock, then you're not ready to see it from epinagi's perspective.
The level of yearning is gonna be astronomical.
I'm (not) fine
I've waited for a whole week, biting on my nails and anxiously gripping my seat to properly read chapter 298 -because just from the spoilers I already knew my heart couldn't take it- so I could pair it up with 299 and see if I have to find gasoline for my nagireo shrine catching fire or not.
And you know what I've got???
There's no friggin chapter!
It's scheduled for the 15th! Another whole ass week of ripping my hair out and for what? For Reo to realise he's always been good enough on his own and he just liked Nagi bc he was the first one not to pretend to be nice around him and decided to pull him along so he wouldn't be alone? And kicking Nagi to the curb bc boy I love you but you fucked up. Or Reo to actually try and comfort him but Nagi, who's not used to deal with this kind of emotions, tries to detach himself from the situation and pulls away? And either he quits or they end up as rivals? And my heart that once was white and purple to dye itself black with dread?
I still see a tiny, itty bitty sliver of hope feebly flickering by the end of the tunnel but now I have to wait another week.
Another week of pain and mental instability.
Dude I have exams this week! I can't deal with this kind of emotional suffering rn!
Another long week and for what? For the laugh? You like watching the timer go slowly down before our hearts all collectively break, Kaneshiro?
Oh, Kaneshiro, when I catch you...
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Idk, tell me what u think in the comments or smt i guess.
I can't tell who's about to have the biggest freak out, Nagi or Reo.
Probably me, since I'm already freaking out.
Just like the roman empire, they got divided and half fell through.
Now what's left standing has his heart broken.
Nagi and Reo having their emotional moment before saying goodbye indefinitely
Isagi el desubicado out of the blue:
Bro π
We ain't exactly talking bout soccer here, are you deaf and blind?
I'm feeling bittersweet at the prospect of Reo leaving Nagi behind once and for all (albeit forced to do so)
Like, if he wants to survive, he'll obviously become an individualist now, there's nothing (no one) holding him back either. And I absolutely want him to get better and shine with his own light, he deserves that. But, I don't want him to completely forget about Nagi as a period of his life that's over now.
Death in blue lock doesn't mean death in real life, and I have the slight feeling that people in blue lock don't realize this. Or at least they say goodbye like they're never seeing eachother again when they could if they wanted to.
I just wished Reo realized he wants Nagi besides of what he brings into the field, and that he can pursue soccer in solitary and still love him at the same time.
Blue lock is designed to install the mentality in them that their whole life has to be about soccer when, in reality, once they step off the field, once practice is over, they also have a personal life to take care of. Because they have been locked up in there for so long many of them don't think about this but I wish they realized that eliminating a friend doesn't mean losing them forever.
In case Nagi quits soccer or keeps playing but in a smaller league, I hope he's still invested in Reo's dream and cheers him on even from afar. And for Reo to think about their relationship and how, everytime he pictured the World Cup as a treasure he wanted to aquire to prove himself, he also thought of Nagi as a treasure he failed to make his own, and perhaps, chooses to pursue Nagi too but in a different way. Like, it's fine that while you're playing you're the most egoistic person alive who only thinks of achieving greatness by yourself. But outside of that you're still a human with other feelings besides your pride.
I feel if they both realised they can dedicate themselves both to soccer and to eachother without necessarily having both things together, they'd be the perfect couple.
Maybe we'll get to see a bit of that reflexion on Nagi's part after he gets locked off in epinagi?
I just know I don't want the spinoff to just end there with Nagi don't doing anything with his life and Reo being heartbroken. I want their relationship to evolve past blue lock not as football stars but as people.
There's a lot of ways to be partners and it'd be a great chance to show that, even if blue lock's mentality is the right way to be a striker, it doesn't have to define you as a person. You can have dreams outside of soccer that don't interfier with your career. Be a star on camera and a human at home.
A striker isn't supposed to have relationships holding him back but a human is allowed to love.
I came up with a fanfic prompt overnight. I know that homosexual marriage is illegal in Japan and the age of consent for that is 18 but oh well, let's take some licenses for the sake of fanfiction
"Word that the son of Mikage Corp's CEO might be gay and going around with a no-name boy reaches the powerful man's ears. Because of this, he rushes to find a proper suitor to marry Reo off as soon as he hits 18, to straighten him up and salvage his reputation. However, he can't help himself but to confront his son about the situation and warn him to leave that boy if he knows what's good for him, although Reo insists they're just business partners.
When Reo finds out his parents are girlfriend hunting for him, he refuses to be legally tied to a stranger for life. Plus, his dad somehow knows about Nagi but has got it all wrong. This, though, gives him a genius idea. And that's how he hacks into his dad's personal account, prints his parents marriage certificate editing the names, and has Nagi sign it. His awful parents can't force any spouse into his life if he's already married nor take Nagi away from him when he's officially Reo's and only Reo's as stated by law."
I love Nagireo fics where everyone thinks they're in a relationship and it happens to be convenient so they do get in a fake relationship that's more real than my lifeπ
Sadly, I don't think I'm gonna be able to write it any time soon since I should be studying for university exams right now, oops.
If anyone is in the least bit inspired by this summary that assaulted my brain at 4am feel free to write your own story and if you do pls send link bc I'd love to read it π
"You're being dramatic! You CAN'T die of love!"
Oh?
I dare you to say that to Nagi Seishiro's face
Listening to this and imagining a Nagireo mv that I'm not talented enough to make
Goodbye, I'm digging a hole and burying myself, I died.
Either I care an insane amount about something or I don't give a shit. Current obsession: nagireo
