ok so the australian media made a story about how japanese tourists are flocking to the hotel that haruka and rin visited in ES… its actually really cute how its become popular because of this!!

Thank you so much for sharing! :D

P.S. I took the liberty of grabbing this & re-uploading it to MediaFire for eternal-ising purposes — I hope that’s OK!

“Haruka starts to turn around, and Rin’s arms loosen enough to let him. Rin’s eyebrows are up slightly; he is ready to let go. But Haruka is feeling deliciously fluttery, and kisses him instead.

It was the right decision. Rin melts, and Haruka melts against him. It amazes him that there are moments that are still this easy.”

some doodles after I reread the new chapter of “Long Distance” by clandestine7 which happens to be the best RH fic out here. If you haven’t read it, do it right now! (text is obviously NOT mine, it’s from the fic)

A crappy little animation I did of Rin eternally sucking Harus blood! Hahahaha!!! I’m trash!

I made Rin’s POV too!

Track #13: For The Team, For The Future [Free! -Eternal Summer- 岩鳶・鮫柄水泳部 合同活動日誌2]

/For The Team, For The Future/

Gou: Well then, everyone—I’m counting on you! Nagisa: Okay! This is celebrating Haru-chan and the others’ graduation, after all! Gonna give our all prepping for it! Rei: Indeed! I’ll prepare some perfect decorations! Nagisa: Ugh, Rei-chan—that’s a sure sign you’re gonna fail! Oh, hey, Ai-chan—mind getting those plates for me? Nitori: Ah, of course! And some paper cups too… Nagisa: Thanks! Nitori: Everyone will be here soon, so we need to hurry! Momo: I’m super proud of this stag beetle gelatin! Whatcha think? Nitori: Uuuh, Momo-kun… Are you sure that’s fit for human consumption? Momo: How rude! It’s full of stuff stag beetles love, like rich honey and apples and cucumber and— Nitori: Ugh, I’m getting heartburn just hearing the ingredients Nagisa: Ooh what’s that? It looks delicious! Rei: Everyone, please get a move on! Nitori: Oh, right! My apologies. Come on, snap it up, Momo-kun! Momo: Gotcha! Makoto: Wow, this looks amazing! Sousuke: A lot grander than I was expecting. Nagisa: Ah, Mako-chan! Gou: Sousuke-kun! Makoto: Sorry, we’re here a little early. Nagisa: You came together? Makoto: We ran into each other earlier. Sousuke: Rin said he had some place he needed to stop by, so he left before me, but… Nitori: Rin-sempai isn’t here yet, though… Makoto: I think Rin’s with Haru. I got a call from Haru right as I was leaving, saying Rin had called for him and that I should go on ahead without him. Sousuke: Then I guess that means we’ll be waiting a while. Want some help? Momo: We’ll be fine! You third-years are the guests of honor, so please have a seat! Sousuke: I see. Makoto: Well, if you insist, then… Nagisa: I wonder where Rin-chan and Haru-chan stopped by… Rei: Indeed. I’ll bet it’s… Nagisa: Ah, Rei-chan—you realized too?? Rei: It’s pretty nearby, after all… Nagisa: I just hope those two don’t get into a fight… Rei: Indeed.

Haru: What did you call me out here for, Rin? Rin: Yo, Haru. Ah, it’s no big deal really—I just wanted to see this sakura tree…here at Iwatobi Elementary. Haru: You could’ve come and seen it by yourself. Rin: Aww, c’mon—don’t be such a sourpuss. After this, I’m gonna be in Australia—and you’re gonna be in Tokyo, right? So I figured before that… Haru: …It’s just like before. They’re still not blooming yet. Rin: Yeah. Still…was this flower bed always this small? The bricks looked so much bigger when we were in elementary school… Haru: You just grew taller, that’s all. Rin: That reminds me…we competed to see who was taller during our physical examination, didn’t we? Haru: And I was taller. Even Makoto said so. Rin: No, I was! Makoto was just saying that so he wouldn’t hurt your feelings! Plus—right now, I’m the taller one! Haru: We’re hardly any different! And it’s still too soon to tell. Rin: Hey, I might grow even taller than now too! …This is just like back then, too, huh… When I invited you to swim the relay. Haru: Most people wouldn’t transfer schools just to swim a relay. Rin: Aww, what did it hurt? I’m the type who goes straight for what I want the moment I’ve made up my mind. That’s why I invited you to swim the relay with me. Haru: You forgot to mention how annoyingly persistent you were. Rin: Hey, say instead that I was enthusiastic! Well, that just goes to show how much I wanted to swim with you. You’re glad you did it though, right? The relay. Haru: …Whatever. Rin: C’mon, fess up! And it was under this tree…that I said I was leaving for Australia, huh. Haru: Yeah… You do everything too suddenly. Before, too—I never would’ve imagined I’d go on an international trip right before Nationals. Rin: It was a surprise. Haru: How was that a surprise? Rin: It’s fine! You got to see some nice things, didn’t you? Haru: …I suppose so. Rin: Hey…Haru? Sousuke thinks…that swimming is a solo sport. He wants to swim alone, carrying the burden himself—that’s what he told me, before. Haru: And the one who taught him that there’s more to it than that…was you, wasn’t it? We’ve both been entrusted with our friends’ feelings; that’s what’s brought us this far. Rin: We weren’t swimming alone… Haru: Nope… And that’s why, from now on, we’re going to keep swimming with our friends. Rin: Whether I go to Australia, or anywhere else, that’s something I better not forget, huh! Haru: There’s no way you would. Rin: Heh, I guess not! Nagisa: Ah, I knew they’d be here! Haru-chaaaan! Rei: Haruka-sempai! Momo/Nitori: Rin-sempaaaai! Nagisa: Everyone’s waiting! Rin: Got it! We’re coming!

Nagisa: Hey, Rei-chan? Rei: What’s wrong, Nagisa-kun? Nagisa: Y’know… I’m really excited. Rei: Excited? Nagisa: Yeah… About the future! Haru-chan and Mako-chan are going to Tokyo universities, and Rin-chan’s going to Australia. Everyone’s shooting for their own dream! And I’m really excited about that! Rei: Nagisa-kun… You’re right! It’s easy to decide your own limits; but I’m sure there’s something waiting beyond those boundaries you set! And for that, you have to keep marching forward, to the future! Nagisa: Yup! We’ve gotta do our best too! Rei: Indeed! Nitori: We’re the same in Samezuka! We’ll take those thoughts and feelings entrusted to us by our sempai and use them to take that next step! Momo: We’ll be challenging Iwatobi again with our strongest team! Rei: The beautiful rivalry competition between Iwatobi and Samezuka! Nagisa: We won’t lose! Nitori: Neither will we!

Rin: What are those four laughing about? Haru: Rin… [pause] Let’s get along well from now on.※ Rin: Sure!

I'm just

I don’t know where to start

Rin admitting that he’s always admired Haru

Having that admiration pounded into our skulls as everyone around him remarks the same

Rin calling Haru an “aloof guys with eyes as blue as water” <—WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY RIN-CHAN-SAN??? ARE YOU A FUCKING POET NOW?

Haru standing on that international stage

Haru fucking loving it

Haru realizing he wants to swim there forever (have fun misinterpreting that XD)

HARU AND RIN IN THE SAME BED

HARU AND RIN BEING MISTAKEN FOR A MARRIED COUPLE

HARU AND RIN BICKERING ABOUT WHOSE NAME IT WAS THAT MADE PEOPLE THINK THEY WERE A GIRL MARRIED TO THE OTHER

Rin trying to dodge the question of if he’s got a girlfriend sliudhflisudhfs

TWO BIRDS FLYING OFF TOGETHER AT THE END.

HARU FINDING HIS DREAM.

WEEPING AND SOBBING SO HARD.

Rin: You said…you couldn’t find your own dream, right? But if you did find it…what would you do?

Highlighting some of Shimazaki Nobunaga (Haru’s seiyuu)’s comments that are apparently printed on a display board at the Free! Event today: What he’s most looking forward to in S2: How Haru and Rin, who have worked out their differences and have reconciled with each other, are going to build up their relationship. Relationship he wants to pay the most attention to: Between Haru and Rin. He find their relationship really refreshing and interesting after working on the duet CD, and it’s fun to see their relationship undergo drastic changes in S2.

ZAKKI HAS A+++++++ TASTE.

/waits for the incoming wave of haters who accuse him of being ~unprofessional~ since they’re already doing it to Utsumi for DARING to have a character she seems to favor. and a pairing too but hey let’s cherry pick things we accept about the director’s preferences why don’t we!

OK wait, having now seen the actual text, this is VERY MISLEADING and is not mentioned as such! I love Haru and Rin as much as the next Sharkbait shipper, but let’s not get people excited over nothing!

Zakki does not say “how Haru and Rin who have worked out their differences get along now” but how IWATOBI and Rin will get along now, since they’ve worked out their differences.

Everyone’s really excited to share stuff, I’m sure, but let’s be more careful :/

The bit about the Drama CD and whose relationship he wants to pay attention to is fine, but he’s looking forward to seeing how the Iwatobi members AS A GROUP get along with Rin now. Not just Haru (Haru isn’t even mentioned :/)

And just to clarify: only “what he’s most looking forward to in S2” is misleading.

The second question, about the relationship he wants to focus on most in S2 is Haruka and Rin’s. There was nothing wrong with the OP’s paraphrasing on that part!

So I just thought I should post this here because I can’t get over how good this AMV by CeliaPhantomhive is. It was played at the Anime Boston 2014 AMV competition, among a pile of other AMVs of animes I didn’t know so it really took me off guard. But when I realized it was RinHaru… I, along with the rest of the audience; lost my fucking shit. Jesus christ, this is so good.

[YODELS AND HITS A PINATA] just lost my ability to process all reason, this is so amazing and arguably one of the best RH amvs I’ve ever seen… o-oh my god I’m in harurin heaven… ಥ_ಥ The editing technique is top notch and original. Transitions are so incredibly fluid, the lyrics are so perfectly well synced to the scenes, it’s really refreshing. So, so superb. It’s really top notch overall. It’s so damned well designed, carefully made, and so worth a watch because.WOW.IT’S GOING TO HAUNT ME IN MY SLEEP I’M NEVER MOVING ON 

quick RinHaru doodle before going to bed 

and I’m clinging to my headcanon that Rin’s got a good and visible tan from his time in australia FUCK THE CANON SKIN COLOR /HIDES
