prince of tennis 25-6 caps and recap

this episode. wow. this episode just blew me away with the incredible slashiness and blatant symbolism and other blatantness. and, well, this post was meant to be shorter than this, like a smörgåsbord of favourite slashy caps, but there were so many, and it just kind of snowballed and, well, i didn't hve the strength to resist, so it's kind of the whole episode, in all its glorious slashiness. and, well, this is kind of more fun to read and write than plain squeeing. and also prettier to look at.

i think i sprained something tuesday night trying not to laugh, squeak, squeal or otherwise shout out loud. i've been spoiled for this episode in every conceivable way, by reading every bit of fanfiction i could find on the internet for tezuka/ryoma (barring some on fanfiction.net, but i'm reading there too), not to mention plenty of meta in essays and other discussions. in fact, i'd also heard about ( many of the slashiest elements. )

but i still wasn't prepared. maybe you can't be.

first of all, the completely mind-boggling extra slashiness actually starts in the special credits they made just for this episode. ( and from there it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. )
