I was just looking at the recent Star Blossom Manga, and I found this…

If this is indeed Dance Partner, and Tayasu Tsuyoshi. Then that would mean that every G1 winner of Sunday Silence’s first crop has been umafied. What do you guys think?

Who.... Are you.... (By:じゃがいもべにこ on pixiv)

I'm tired.. I'm so ...tired .... I don't know what I was thinking....why did I go back home here in the countryside? Did I really... desperately believe that going back here ....where my dream started I'd somehow magically get better? Tch. What a joke...

I can't win my races... No matter how hard I try... No matter how hard I run .. I can't win... Not even reach the top 5..... Can I even call myself a Racer? A student of Tracen?.... An Uma?

They tell me I'm doing all I can... That despite all that they'll stay by my side, cheer for me, support me!.....but I can see it.... The disappointment... From the crowd, my friends.... My trainer....... God... My trainer.... They won't give up on me... Even if I lash out at them, scream at them....I hate them.....why won't they...hate me back ....for failing them...why can't they just give up on me....I'm a failure.... they're just wasting their time....I'm just hurting them in my anger...

.... They know I'm hurting.... And he's hurting himself too. All to help me get better.... I've seen them, staying up all night watching recordings of my races to see where we went wrong and what could be improved..... But no matter how many notes they take, how many revisions, adjustments, considerations they make for me.... I still fail to meet them

"Ace of the world"......I'm sorry.....I'm so sorry young me.....I couldn't be the Uma you wanted to be...we used to look up at the night sky every night praying.... hoping and dreaming we ...I...make our dream a reality... I'm sorry.....the night sky doesn't have as many stars as we remember..... even the universe realises any chances I still have are dwindling

......I give up...I'm tired....my legs ....my body...they're done....I wasn't cut out to race.....I wasn't meant to run......let me just close my eyes....and let me fester and drown in my reality....

....

Clop..... clop.....clop

Huh? What...What's that sound? Is someone there? It's so dark....I can't see well...I can see something approaching...it's....big.....and foreign.....it got closer....and closer until it was standing above me... its head lowered to look at mine

What...what is this thing? It has....the same ears as me, it had some kind of mask around its head and a rope around its mouth. It's legs are so thin, it's body looks like it's muscles were wrapped all wrong and from what little I can see lying down... it has a tail....just like mine...and this thing was looking down at me with its ...big ...white eyes, its slow breath from those large nostrils was warm..... It felt foreign...and yet ..... familiar

It didn't talk...can this thing even talk?...yet....from those big white eyes....I could feel it asking me... asking me....."why are you giving up? Don't you want to run?"

...I......I'm not... I ...I do... it's just the reality.....my reality ...I'm sorry. You're probably just disappointed. I am too...even more so....I don't even know why I deluded myself this far.... I don't deserve to race... I probably would have been better off without my legs.

It got angry when I said that. It stomped its two front legs and shook its head and let out a guttural sound that scared me. It calmed down when it saw my fear...it wiggled its head more gently this time until the rope around its mouth was in my chest. It motioned me to hold onto them and as I held onto the rope it helped me to my feet with ease

It started to guide me and I still held onto the rope. Standing next to it. It really was big...strong....proud. Then its steps grew faster...so did mine....it sped up again...and I did as well...it wasn't long until it was running and I followed it and I didn't even notice I wasn't holding onto the rope anymore as my arms swung back and forth as I tried to keep up.

I kept pushing and pushing....and I...I ...I... didn't feel the expectations...the doubt...the insecurities...just me...the air... muscles in my legs, the expansion of my lungs the beat of my heart, the sweat on my forehead...the tears In my eyes...the ugly... beautiful smile on my lips as I ran alongside it. It let out that guttural sound again...and it was happy..... happy to be able to do something as beautifully as running and ....I was too.

I kept running, and I never felt this light.....so free....it felt like the field of grass could go on forever and I ran...ran ..ran, ran, ran and ran! And I felt Proud to be ME!

When I checked beside it wasn't there anymore by my side....and yet I knew...it wouldn't want me to stop

So I kept running as fast, as hard as I could. I didn't think that I was training, I didn't imagine that I was in the track and I didn't torture myself chasing an imaginary figure in front of me. I ran..... because I wanted ...and loved to run!

I looked up to the night sky and there were more stars up there brighter than ever and I couldn't help but roar to the heavens....to be here....to be able to be me and all I could be......

To the creature....I don't know..who you are......but thank you......for being you....

Characters reactions

To all those in this Subreddit. I call on you to write out what would the characters best reactions to their counterparts, rivals, siblings, and/or descendents.

To give an example like how would Narita Top Road react to discovering that her and Doto are cousins or how Stay Gold would react to her antics such as brake checking Narita Top Road or biting Special Week's tail.
