#( can also just be cute or platonic if ur not feeling shippy things )

( anyone want a shippy starter?? )

[tex-now]

WHAT ARE U SO WORRIED ABT THO THOSE ARE V VALID TBH!!!

Tsks with l/n ships feel kind of just strange to me bc they're sakis childhood friends so it feels like the relationship between them and tsks is kind of like distant sibling/cousin-ish at least to me so it's weird if it's romantic. I don't like it either

But the idea of shiho misinterpreting her crush on saki as smth for tsukasa and hating it is HILARIOUS ACTUALLY

Kohakasa and minokasa sound cute tho!!! The only 2 ppl besides toya who admire this man for some unknown reason. Kohane learning to be more confident from tsks! Minoru and fan festa like u said! It's wholesome. I can see it

Airikasa is hilarious to me bc imagine they're dating and he still calls her by her full name bc he cant stop 😭😭😭 insane comedic potential. Also they can rant about shizurui together /silly

Idk if I'd ship them all romantically but I can see where ure coming from and you're valid!

Oh thank fuck you don't hate me. THANK YOU FOR THE INPUT!!

Okay so. A lot of the rarer ships are a matter of "I like them either way." So for example airikasa and minokasa I love them in a shippy way but also platonically there is no real difference there to me. Like I LIKE the ship but more so in the sense that I like them interacting in any way rather than strictly seeing them romantically does that make sense. It's not like, say, nenekasa, where the relationship is different depending on what their bond is.

If nenekasa are friends they bicker and banter but have a mutual respect for each other and are close. If they're together, it's that plus even more affection and nene actually thinking tsukasa is... cute. And tsukasa being hopelessly in love with nene as well as more affectionate gestures like kissing, going on dates, shit like that.

While with airikasa, as friends they get along and bond over having similar relationships with their partners, and also bond over other shit. If they're dating, it's the same thing except they're holding hands.

So basically I use the term ship very loosely lmao

Wait I am like… genuinely really confused on your standpoint with all the ranjack stuff? I get the whole don’t show any of the major affection scenes on twt because twt users can be extra, but what’s your standpoint on the rest of it (mostly on tumblr)? Because sometimes ur like “lol fruits they’re gay and in love” and other times it seems more like you are riding on the “ambiguous, platonic leaning” boat if that makes sense?? /lh btw I’m just rlly confused and Wanna make sure I’m not making you uncomfy with certain things I make for Knifetrick lol

ah man it honestly depends on my mood. and also how rude people are being on twitter at any point in time.

i don't mind the more shippy ranjack stuff, but i hate people accusing me of being like. a weirdo or a boundary breaker when i legitimately hateeee boundary breakers so much. like ten minutes ago i was talking about how i don't like modern aus because they seem too much like rpf. and that's an unpopular opinion to have, but like, i just dislike rpf SO MUCH that even that is going too far for me. like i legitimately hate boundary breakers and even hearing about it makes me upset.

so being accused of being one can kinda seriously ruin my whole day and make me very anxious. and since i'm the author and the Face of knifetrick i've been trying to like. be more professional and careful on here. so that people will try to cancel me less.

essentially-- if you're making knifetrick content that is more shippy-- i'll still enjoy it because it's a cute part of our fandom. but i might not answer your ask publicly or reblog it. you know?

i want to keep it on the ambiguous route, of course, but. that doesn't mean they aren't also gay fruits in love. both things are true, i just lean certain directions sometimes.

sorry. it really all depends on how confident i feel each day.

hihi hello!!!!!.. i love talking about hikakao so true

im arospec so i honestly don't like outright romance or shippy stuff that much. However i love love love qplatonic/super affectionate platonic relationships, just really close relationships that don't really have a label to them. i think thats why i always get hyperfixated on the close best friends/twin siblings dynamic, a pair who are really close without all the official romance stuff in there, while still having a super close bond that lets them do near romantic things with each other to show their love. best dynamic Tbh

so that's kinda my favorite way of seeing hikakao. like they know some of the things they do are not considered usually acceptable but they don't really think they're in love. they just love each other with the strength of a romantic relationship, and some of the things they do (like kisses and cuddling) they started so young that they find them to be too integral in their relationship to stop, even after they find out it's 'weird'. they just love each other and want to show it. they just want to snuggle god damn it...let them be !!

i think my way of seeing them is like,, a half step down from yours. as in, mine is just slightly more platonic. but i still appreciate hikakao in all its forms,, they are just so silly i love them

ALSO idk about haruhikakao, i haven't really thought about it, but tamahikakao is so cute to me,, especially set in middle school, when the twins first come to the host club and they fall in love with tamaki just because he's so outgoing and kind and trusting, and deep down they admire him for that because they're terrified to be any of those things. and he was that way with Them, the biggest edgelords ever. he is literally so cool for that in their eyes

so they're just infatuated with tamaki, and he kinda falls for them about halfway through the year because he finally got them to come out of their shells and they're super energetic and fun, like him. and he thinks they might like him too. but kyoya tells him they're only in love with him because he's the first person to really make an effort with them, and so to tamaki it would be kinda wrong to make a move with them when they're just in love because they're traumatized. (btw i don't think it would Actually be wrong/abusive at all if they did get together at that time, i just think tamaki would think its wrong) and also kyoya points out that they might take it the wrong way that he's in love with both of them because like. your whole premise was that they could be seen as separate people. and then you tell them that you would date Both of them,, just like those girls,, don't do that you idiot you'll risk driving them off

that was really ramble-y (rambly?) but i think that because of all that, no one makes a move for a long time, and it Could be they never do. but also i think the idea of them all admitting they're all in love with each other way later, like in late highschool, is really cute.

However just early host club tamahikakao where they all just crush on each other and deny their feelings is really sweet too,,. i just think that they wouldn't actually get into a relationship until later. AND their relationship era later on is adorable. polyamory chaos. love that for them.

THIS IS GETTIGN SO LONG but i have a friend who really likes sonic.exe (like the creepypasta) and she's the reason i even started liking sonic without playing any of the games.., she dragged us to see the movie. loved every second of it though,, tails is my favorite. he is so silly

i might look into the playstation games and some pc emus Unless i can manage to convince someone to get me a nintendo hardware for my birthday. maybe

OH I GET IT ANON DW. I'm not ace but I'm on the aro spectrum and I get what ur feeling. When I was younger I outright AVOIDED romance songs/movie/books bc they pissed me off so much bc I didn't understand what the big deal about romantic love was and it was stupid to me. And to an extent I have a slight aversion still. But for me hikakao (and a lot of other ships, especially queer ones) are very different than straight ships, esp bc with Hikakao there are a Lot of factors (like... the siblings thing, for example. Makes the potential stories more interesting/less cookie cutter). But I get it man and like I said, I prefer this weird grey area with hikakao where it basically is qpp and they're just each other's most important person forever and always

I adore qpp and tbh that's what I see hikaharukao as btw. basically qpps who are ""dating"" but not really they just hang out together. Haruhi is also (grey)aro in my head so she's not really romantically involved with them. They're just a big qpp polycule it's great. Side note this is how I choose to interpret Hikaru and Haruhi in the anime. Hikaru is just suuuuper close to Haruhi as a friend he has a squish on her basically and he gets jealous like "NO THAT'S MY FRIEND" like he did with Arai. I don't think he's in love, I think he just has somebody he really cares about and he has no clue how to deal with that bc Hikaru has never handled his emotions well.

As for tamahikakao YOU GET IT!!! I love love love the idea that the twins had a huge crush on Tamaki in middle school bc he was their first real friend who didn't get sick of them/leave them when they were mean to him. He still stuck around and tried to put in the effort to tell them apart and that got to them. Esp bc their world was still so small so to them this was a HUGE deal. And Tamaki IS pretty and all.... so yeah I think they get a big ol crush on him but they have no clue what this feeling is all they know is that they're trailing after him all the time in the club room like ducklings to their mom. Tamaki at first thinks it's cute & funny and is all like "they just want to learn how to be a host from the best!" and ofc the twins' first reaction is to be edgy about it like "NO WE HATE YOU THAT'S NOT IT" but this doesn't really hurt Tamaki he just thinks it's silly mostly.

But man, if Tamaki developed feelings back, bc he really does care about these 2 and he WANTS to get to know them better so he can tell them apart etc... and then he ends up falling too. And I never considered that part you said but IT'S REALLY GOOD bc yeah confessing to them both would be a bad idea, Kyoya would def say as much. Tamaki doesn't want to hurt their feelings on accident even if he truly likes them both, so he doesn't say anything...

But as they go through the years, he does begin to tell them apart from their little quirks. The way Kaoru talks and acts is different from his brother, Hikaru is more loud and outgoing, Kaoru is more thoughtful and slow; other things he picks up on like how Kaoru will always fidget with a pencil/pen if one is in his hand while Hikaru doesn't, or how Hikaru's smile is just a tiny bit wider than Kaoru's, Kaoru's laugh is more wheezy, Hikaru's yelling is more boisterous, and it seems Hikaru's nails are cut a slight bit shorter than Kaoru's (yes he noticed this, no it's not because he tries to find an excuse to hold their hands at every conceivable moment, whatever could you be talking about)

But the thing is, Tamaki STILL loves them BOTH for their own unique traits. He likes how thoughtful and relaxed Kaoru is, he likes how stubborn and energized Hikaru is, and he doesn't want to choose one over the other. But he's scared, because he doesn't know if he'll mess up and say the wrong thing. he doesn't want to create a rift between the brothers, get into their private world, and he doesn't want them to suddenly hate Tamaki and everyone else. He doesn't know if it's safe, but he almost doesn't care, because he just wants to be with them.

I think for them it'd be one of those things that happen slowly over time. It wouldn't be a sudden deceleration of love, but a slow over-time thing of them spending more and more time together, Tamaki clearly demonstrating he knows the twins individually by personality, literally sharing a hotel room at some point during some big Club vacation and it's then Hikaru (always Hikaru, the hasty, mouth-works-faster-than-brain mf) who asks, "So, are we like, a thing now?" And well... Well, they probably are. And they're cool with that <3

Side note, I have a hanahaki hikakao au which ?? i'll never write (too lazy) but also i have no clue why I thought of it bc like I said I'm not HUGE on purely romantic hikakao + i'm not even a hanahaki enjoyer typically (dont hate it, far from it, just not my go-to) but like... i've been rotating and developing this idea in my head so if you wanna hear about it. lmk. Maybe I'll reply in the form of like. A short story. Just to get it out there.

ALSO I USED TO LIKE SONIC.EXE JKSBNBHJ I mean it used to freak me out as a kid but also I liked it.... it's a shitty story (this reading I LOVED as a kid and i still find it hilarious) but man I have so much nostalgia for it. Altho considering the like, everything in Sonic CD I wonder if sonic.exe was even necessary lol
