To The People Who Are Getting Annoyed With The Shipping In Sk8 I Have One Thing To Say To You... Ignore

To the people who are getting annoyed with the shipping in sk8 I have one thing to say to you... ✨ignore it✨ it’s really not that hard you can block accounts that post shipping content, or you can simply not interact with the fandom at all. Posting shit like “I’m sick of this gay shit” is not only rude but lowkey (and when I say lowkey I mean high key) homophobic. And if you don’t know how I deal with homophobes look at my bio. Please stop harassing fan artists and fanfic writers they don’t deserve it. It takes like 30% of your energy to get stressed over this you wanna know how much energy you use when you ignore it and go on with your day? 0! If you’re someone who got triggered over this post then this isn’t a safe space for you. Don’t like it? Then leave ❤️. You wanna know who this is a safe place for? Fan artists/fanfic writers (as long as y’all don’t ship the kids with the adults or Miya with anyone [cause he’s deadass 13 guys it’s hella gross]) love y’all hope you have an amazing day 😘!

lowkey had no idea i would find so many dead/small fandoms in TUMBLR of all places but that was just me being unrealistic ig

WAIT A SECOND I KNOW SK8 ENDING AND ALL BUT LIKE

CHERRY AND JOE BOTH KNOW HOW TO BIKE?

BIKER BFS?

im late is post plus still a thing

Joe: The move that took down Cherry!

UM, THAT HAS A NAME AND IT’S “AGGRAVATED ASSAULT”

Ok but if I may add to this: This is really interesting since in this episode we saw Reki actually make an attempt to go watch ADAM’s tournament in the S. If Reki is a visual learner, then maybe in the future he could be studying JOE, Cherry, ADAM and SNAKE (also Miya and Shadow, but we’ve already seen him studying them before and copy their moves down.) and if somehow he decides to step in and join the tournament skipping the preliminaries, what if he develops as a skater more than Langa but in a different axis? Like, instead of mastering his OWN skills, his skillset becomes a patchwork of other skaters he admires?

This would mean that both Langa and Reki grow as skaters but in a different direction, and with Langa catching feelings and all (which is canon gdi) I feel like this could spark some very interesting developments between the two? I don’t know if this theory has any basis at all but I think it would be really interesting to see something similar happen, at least to a minimal amount

(Also it would be much different if he chose to copy one skater - and I think if he were to choose one, it would be ADAM because obviously antag/protag and also creep who harasses your bf, but either way, if ADAM is the one he copies, then we might get some interesting connections between his nightmares and half-trauma, the promise would also be a topic of conversation again, and maybe we get some more ADAM plot? Idk)

Okay I need to talk about this because like, I think it's important:

The scene where Reki is watching the interview and where the man is talking about how he's now a support and such is very vital. But I don't think it's foreshadowing at all.

I think the scene was meant to display how Reki doesn't want to just be a support, he's talented in creating things, he knows that, but it's not his passion, and I genuinely don't think he'd be happy just being a "support".

The reason he's such a good mechanic for skateboards is because he's a good skater, he can literally break down an entire skateboard move within a single view of it, like THAT is talent, and if he could be able to execute it, he would be unstoppable.

He is not just good at mechanisms and such, he's good at skateboarding, the only issue is that he doesn't have faith in himself and people literally have insulted him to the point where he can't find himself in a good space.

People try to claim that self image doesn't have much to do with it but that's a lie, once you can believe you can do something, you can genuinely execute it so well. And this is coming from my expierence and probably multiple other people's as well.

Self doubt is one of the biggest obsticles when it comes to ANYTHING, whether it's skateboarding or elsewise.

He is good. He is a good skateboarder and a good mechanic. He is *good*. The self doubt is one of the biggest things holding him back from realising that and truly he is good.

He would NOT be happy being just a "support". That is not his passion, making boards isn't his passion, skateboarding in its ENTIRETY is his passion, including the skateboarding itself.

That scene to me was more of a wake up call for Reki to realise that he DOESN'T have to be just a support, because he won't be happy just being support. He doesn't want fame, but he doesn't want to just be in the sidelines. He wants to enjoy himself. Skateboarding is his enjoyment and passion. He would never be happy just being the mechanic.

I really hope that it doesn't end with him being just a support, because that's just so upsetting and feels like a waste of his potential.
