why you should love rin matsuoka - a thread

it's known rin went through a time of d*pr*ss*on and loneliness when he left japan to go to australia with no one by his side except for new foster parents and a dog, speaking a language and going into a culture he was not familiar with at such a young age. he lost his father-

and had to take care of his little sister and mother. even when he hit a slump in australia, he pushed through and used it as his strength, wanting to know if his efforts and loneliness had a result and if he could reach his dream. that's why he challenged haru to a race-

in middle and high school. he learned to love himself alone and when he came back to japan, even after the fallouts with his friends, he was curious and later came to understand how his feelings matched with the others. he learned to love himself through others and to trust-

others despite his hardships. his character development is one of the best. he even helped rei learn how to swim other strokes regardless of their relationship beforehand and was extremely proud of his progress. he was an amazing team captain and brought up his team. even after-

he graduated and went to university, him and haru skipped practice (with national qualifiers being very near) without notice to cheer on his team. his relationships with momo, nitori, sousuke, ogs, and others are so close especially after hardships and they all praise him to be-

an amazing friend. he's also a great swimmer and he's said that he's been consistently breaking his personal records many times (which is pretty hard imo as a swimmer myself). he protects his friends and is a great leader. he's open with his emotions and he knows how to get his-

message across. he's become confident and has grown so much compared to the little boy feeling lost in a new country (also he's a bilingual king). he loves his family and although he lost his father at a young age, he's always looked up to him and continued his dream, along with-

being there for his mother and sister. he shows gratitude for everything and has always pushed himself to do better. he's served as role models to rei, nitori, momo, haru, and several others. rin isn't an asshole or overemotional, he's beautiful and has grown as a person would.

also his shark teeth MMM me thinks yes
