I CANT BELIEVE THIS ANIME IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I ALSO CANT BELIVE THAT I HAVE ONCE AGAIN FOUND MYSELF STARING AT THE WIKI PAGE FOR IT
genre i love: queer sports
examples:
Haikyuu!!
Creator: Haruichi Furudate
Sport: Volleyball
Medium: Manga + Anime
Queer coded to hell and back with no explicit canon. A popular anime that's very engaging. Whenever I watch it I feel like I should get my life together. It's super good, but fanbase can be a lil weird.
Fence
Author: C. S. Pacat
Sport: Fencing
Medium: 5 collated graphic novels + 2 novels
This one changed my life. I discovered it and haven’t been the same since. It’s cute, the two main characters are oblivious wee things, but there is canon representation in the older characters. Almost (if not all) of these characters are Queer As Hell. It’s brilliant. If you like Golden-Retriever-Sunshine-Boy-with-Troubled-Past x Grumpy-Black-Cat-with-Emotionally-Distant-Parents trope, then you’ll love this!
Check, Please!
Author: Ngozi Ukazu
Sport: Ice Hockey
Medium: 2 graphic novels
I saw this in my local public library once, picked it up, and never (emotionally) put it down. These books started my craving for 2D queer sports. This is what put me onto “Fence” in the first place. It’s canon, it’s sweet, the main character is a cutie, what more could you want?
Free!
Creator: Kyoto Animation
Sport: Swimming
Medium: Anime
I’ll be real, I didn’t finish all the seasons of this,,, the first two seasons slay the house down. But I dunno, guess it just didn’t keep my focus. I also don’t think anything gets canonized later,,, so it’s still just hashtag queer coded :( which is not slay.
AFTG
Author: Nora Sacavic
Sport: Exy (??!)
Medium: 3 novels
Now, you might think, “Exy isn’t a real sport” and you would be correct. Nora invented it for the novel. It’s like if the basics of lacrosse met the violence of ice hockey and it was played on a football (soccer) sized field with a balance of genders on the teams. This nonsense altered my brain chemistry, for better or worse, we will never know. However. If you seem intrigued, and want to read, PLEASE google the trigger warnings. Anything you think could possibly be triggering is definitely in this book. If you don’t want to google for fear of spoils, feel free to message me. These books are simultaneously the best and worst things I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of reading. I love them. They’re terribly written. They’re a mastery of metaphors set on a background of college sports with a mafia subplot. It’s like if a crazy fanfic got published. ALSO short king representation. Main man is 5’3, second main man is 5’0. I love this to pieces and I hate it to nothings.
Yuri on ice
Creator: MAAPA
Sport: Ice-skating
Medium: Anime
You know this one. If you don't, it’s not technically canon, but they buy each other (engagement) rings and kiss (sort of) on screen. Slays. Victor Nikiforov has my heart.
SK8 the infinity
Creaotr: Bones
Sport: Skateboarding
Medium: Anime
This one makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside i love it so much. There's angst and love and found family and tragic backstories and funny characters. Not canon though. Hashtag Japan Definitely Doesn’t Have a Homophobia Problem and That’s Definitely Not Why All of The Anime’s on This List Aren’t Canon. Anyways, it’s really cute and I watched t when i was in my own skateboarding era so i loved it so much.
If i remember more, or watch, or read more, I will add them :)
I fucking love free but and I wish they would do like an epilogue of what happened after eternal summer. I just don’t understand those people who want a third season cuz the thing is unless you want new characters with just nagisa and rei or just a season based on haru, rin, and makoto after graduation. But the thing is either way people will probably complain because rin, makoto, and haru aren’t there or vice versa.
Also something I'd normally put on my junk blog, but wow horror imagery. The second gif really scared me when I first saw it!
I've made some more mini-notebooks to take to London MCM tomorrow. I've got 10 Free! based ones, so I've only made 4 of each design. (40 seemed quite enough to be sewing in one day.)

Haruka Nanase from Free!
I don't know if he's my favourite (because MAKOTO) but I really like Haru a lot.
There should be shading on his skin as well, but the marker did not survive the leveling process. And that's why you shouldn't use colour on cream paper, children.

Free!FS official fan book: Haruka and Rin are "Destined to keep swimming together" 💙❤️
For the future 🐬🦈
free.
a question I’m always asked,
is why do I choose free?
the answers not that simple,
it’s one you cannot see.
you’d think it’s cause it’s easy,
you’d think it’s cause it’s safe.
you’d think it’s cause it’s calming,
you’d think it’s just my taste.
i’ve never felt completely comfortable,
in my ranking no matter how high.
everyone says I’ve got it good,
even though I don’t try.
what most people don’t know,
is I test even myself.
a lot of those I know,
think it’s bad for my health.
i’d say I agree,
but they don’t know my story.
they don’t know the reason,
i’m in the bath every morning.
“he just loves water”
“a swimmer is all he wants to be”
i know that love it,
but is that how you see me?
i never liked emotions,
so the water drowns them out.
somehow the water understands,
that swimming’s not all I’m about.
that’s why I love racing,
cutting through the tide.
because their’s raw emotion,
in competitors I find.
i feel more like myself,
not putting in a mask.
cause the second I speak out,
all I hear are gasps.
why does it surprise you?
that I have more to say.
do you think I’m that weak?
am I really ok?
when I swim freestyle,
these questions never come.
though with every other stroke,
comes precision, tight lungs.
when I swim free,
i know where I belong.
the water actually listens,
to my dad swan song.
so when I never tell you,
the reason I swim free.
it’s not because there’s no answer,
it’s because you’ll never see.
