I'm 18 & I have been in love with him for 9 years. When I transferred cities, I was bullied and he saved me. He has a reputation of getting into fights since we were kids. And he hates girls and runs away from them. But I feel so happy and so warm when he reveals his true self to me. But for the past two or three years, he has changed. Little by little, day by day, I doubt who I was standing in front of. I still love him so much but he seems to not want to have anything to do with me (c)

(c) anymore. My biggest mistake was not telling him how I really felt about him. I was scared he will run away from me if I told him I love him. But now I think the reason why he left is because I didn’t tell him. We haven’t seen each other for 6 months.. the last time we talked, when he was about to leave he said “goodbye”. We never say goodbye to each other just “see you later” “take care” never goodbye. And I’m just so terrified I will never see him again and tell him I love him too.

“That’s a pretty complicated situation. If you two have any mutual friends you could find out where he went that way and maybe tell him about your feelings. You never know if he’ll return them or not.  Otherwise, you just have to move on. It may take a while but time can heal just about anything. Maybe he’s just not the right one for you. I’m sure you’re still pretty young. Maybe you’ll find someone even better! Until then please treat yourself well so you can heal and whatever you do, don’t blame yourself.” ~ Momiji Sohma

Ah~ exam season.. ain't it lovely? I would absolutely love some tips for staying focused and organized, if that isn't it too much >_

“I found that during my years in medical school, reminding myself of my goal at the end would keep me motivated to continue studying.  

“As for being focused, I suggest that you sleep well and eat foods that will help with brain activity such as avocados and whole grains.  Also, exercise could help with focus, but if you are a person that does not enjoy exercising, I do not suggest doing such an activity because you will be more worn out than someone who enjoys it (these people tend to become more energized).  

“Now, finally onto organization, I suggest you keep a planner or notebook to help you organize the amount of time that you would prefer to study.  Simply write out your normal activities in a day and add times to study throughout it, but do not overwhelm yourself because you will become discouraged.  Remember to take each subject a piece at a time.”

Anon that sent the long message, may I ask who you were addressing that to?  Which of the characters would you like to answer that, or did you simply want someone to listen?

-Someone that is hear to listen

Harrrrrruuuuuuu....how do you get ovver rejection from someone whose the same sex as yourself?

((Wow this ask has been sitting here for a while. It seems like our Haru is busy or something so Momiji will answer if that's alright))"Do things that make you happy! They'll keep you busy and take your mind of things. I usually hang out with Tohru at work when I'm feeling down. Make sure to talk to people who can help you and support you. It's not fun handling things alone. You'll find the right person eventually I pinky promise!"

[askthefruitsbasket]

kyo how do i tell someone that i like them?

Gah, why you gotta ask me this question…

Just- just don’t run away, alright. That’s the worst thing you can do. Face it head on, like a man! You don’t gotta be afraid… if they care about you, then it’ll all work out; and if they push you away like you’re not even human, then they aren’t someone you need in your life. 

So just tell them upfront. It’s the worst when people beat around the bush- you’re only causin’ yourself problems. And don’t- don’t think you’re not good enough, if that’s what you’re thinkin’.

People can be great, yah know. And who the hell knows… maybe this person really cares about you. You’ll never know a damn thing until you ask.

...

Right, Tohru?

[askthefruitsbasket]

Tohru, is there anything special you do to stay so positive all the time?

“Anything special? I don’t believe I do one specific thing, but perhaps a bunch of techniques that help keep me positive! First, if I am ever getting anxious or stressed over something, I like to remind myself of what Shigure-san once told me! He said, that if it seems like there is a lot of work piling up, for instance, many loads of dirty laundry, there is no sense in stressing over how much you have to get done in the future - it is much more efficient if you think of how much you can get done right now! That way, little by little, everything will be washed, or your homework will be completed, and then, before you know it, you’ll have everything finished! Thinking of this always helps me stay more positive, I’m so glad Shigure-san told me such a thing - it truly does work! Now, that isn’t the only thing that I do, sometimes it just takes a bit of an optimistic outlook on a tough situation! I know that times can be hard, however there surely is always a brighter side to things, and if you search hard enough, it is definite that you’ll find it! Being optimistic won’t only help lighten your mood, but it is all certain to help cheer up those around you! Don’t give up, Anon-san! There are many ways to remain positive - it might take a little bit of practice, however I’m sure you’re capable of being it too! Times might be really hard, and you might feel like crying, but please remember that things will get better! Just relax and take things one step at a time! ~Tohru

//hey, i have a hatsuharu blog, i would love for the possibilty to be involved :) im haru-thelost-cow

We'd love to have another member. You can go to our submit and audition. There's a link at the top of the page that says auditions and it will give you instructions ~AR

Shigure! My best friend from high school has changed so much, and she never seems to want to spend time with me, and I can tell she doesn't care about the things I love and puts me down for it. What should I do?

“Hm…if she belittles you and what you love, it seems to me that she’s not a friend worth keeping. Honestly, I think you should move on from her, and let go. Don’t try to force a relationship just because you’re scared of losing that person. Have you ever heard the saying, ‘if you love something, let it go - if it comes back, it was always yours’? I think it applies in your situation. If she doesn’t come back on her own, come back to you I mean, then she was never meant to be yours in the first place.” ~Shigure

[askthefruitsbasket]

Yuki, how do I open up to people? I'm shy and afraid to show who I really am. I feel like I can never get close to anyone.

“I can understand where you’re coming from, anon. And it may be a bit hypocritical of me to be the one giving you this advice, but I feel it would be best for you to just relax and be yourself. It can be hard at first, I know. But just start off slowly, and gradually get comfortable with the other people around you. The more you get to know them, the easier it will be to let them start to know you. And no matter what other people may say, there will always be someone-even if it’s just one person-who will know you and love you for who you truly are.”  ~Yuki Sohma

[askthefruitsbasket]

((Um... Sorry to bother y'all, but Hatori Sohma isn't properly linked. It's supposed to be linked to hatorisohmadragon unless I didn't make the part? Anyways, just let me know please.))

Thank you for letting us know. I’ve fixed it now. Don’t be afraid to tell us if there’s anything else that needs to be fixed ~AR

Hey Rin...how are you so strong and independent all the time? I want to be like that..

“Oh,Thank you very much,but I don’t really think about myself like that.I suppose I don’t see myself as ‘strong and independent’. I guess it is because I have something to protect….” ~Rin

[askthefruitsbasket]

What are the usernames for the spots that have been filled? Do you think you could link them to the post?

how can i learn to accept myself kyo?

“Hell if I would know… it’s just- It can be pretty damn crappy when everyone seems to hate you. Sometimes bein’ called a monster all your life makes you think it’s true. It’s ain’t easy to accept ourselves when people put that crap into our minds. But those sissies ain’t got nothin’ on me! I’M A MAN, DAMMIT! I’M STRONGER THAN THOSE BASTARDS! AND YOU ARE TOO, DAMMIT! I ain’t gonna go into all that sissy crap but, every one has somethin’ good about them, I guess. Even if you can’t see it just yet. L-look. Someone told me once that we’re like rice-balls. We got all the good stuff on our backs. That don’t mean it ain’t there. Just keep lookin’. It might take a while and hell, it’s gonna be painful, but you’ll find it. Do things yah like to do, and don’t let any sissy boss you around. Hang around those that love you… And anon, you’re probably a pretty damn good person. B-BUT DON’T GET THE WRONG IDEA ALRIGHT?! If that doesn’t help, just remember you’re better than that sissy rat boy…”

~Kyo Sohma

[askthefruitsbasket]

I wouldn't mind playing Yuki or Shigure. I can really play whatever is needed. I'd just like to be involved.

We are looking for both at this time. Although you would have a better chance with Shigure because Yuki already has people that need to be decided on.

There is a link that says “auditions” at the top of the page. Click on that to go thru further instructions. Or you can simply click on this [link], it’ll bring you to the same thing.

Thanks for the interest in being part of the blog.

((I am also the mun for Sohma-Hiro,can I do another audition for the same email?

Well since you are already accepted into the group I’m sure you can play that muse until/unless we find a new/different person to audition. Thus we can allow you to do both characters, but if someone wants to audition for either muses than you would have to choose whether you want to re-audition for that muse.
