NO ONE FUCJINF TALK TO ME

HIGH QUALITY SANRIO CHROME

[katzkinder]

Mukuro’s relationship with Tsuna and Chrome is so funny. It’s like they found a dirty diseased raccoon in their trash can and decided to keep it as a pet, then get offended by people pointing out its got rabies. The raccoon is currently mauling their mail man.

Going back to my roots with a redraw of this !! 

[ciaossu-imagines]

Day 3 - at some point the vongola 10th squad will move to italy, lbr. Question is: what is rhe BIGGEST culture shock for the japanese boys? What ia the thing Dera and Lambo will miss most about Japan? Anything anyonw will have issues to adapt to or adapt to again?

I actually think that me and you have talked somewhat about this before! At least, the fact that I really don’t think that the Vongola 10th move to Italy full-time. The TYL! Arc was still set in Namimori, where we see a strong Vongola presence in Japan. We kind of see that a lot of them were off and doing their own things. Chrome was in France, along with Chikusa and Ken. Yamamoto had said he was off and playing baseball, and to be doing so at 24/25, I like to believe it means that he was at least able to go semi-pro, like he’d hoped in his younger years to do so. It’s said that Ryohei was visiting Italy to see Lussuria, and that combined with the photos on his dresser and Hana’s dresser, leads me to believe he divides his time in between different places and that he still spends a good chunk of time in Japan, albeit it I don’t believe he lives there year-round either. Hibari is so devoted to Namimori, it’s a huge part of his character, that I do not see him being willing to move full-time to a foreign country. On top of that, Tsuna’s Vongola Neo has broken literally every single other rule around Mafia life, for the most part, that I don’t think they’re going to follow some old-fashioned rule about needing to live and operate exclusively in Italy. There’s just a lot of inference, in my personal opinion, that lends itself more to the idea that Tsuna’s Vongola operates on a more global scale. Hell, if the right people were to find their way into the story in future arcs, I could even see the reach of the Vongola extending past Italy, past Japan, and extending into many other countries, though I don’t think it will be Tsuna’s goal and more something that just kind of happens.

With all that being said, I’ll do my best to answer the question, really just focusing on what the biggest culture shocks were for everyone when they first visited and what they had the most trouble getting used to, whenever they spend any amount of time there.

Tsuna really struggles with just how much more pressure he feels whilst in Italy. Whenever he is in Italy, whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, there just seems to exist a pressure that he doesn’t feel when he’s back in Japan, with his Guardians and those that he’s gotten to know since his teenage years. In Italy, more people seem to know him and those that don’t seem to suddenly kowtow and treat him with a respect bordering a little on fear at times as soon as they hear the word Vongola in relation to him. Those left over from Timoteo’s time as the Vongola boss all seem to have great expectations from Tsuna or expect him to largely be something he’s really not, even though they have all had literally years to realize that Tsuna does not want the Vongola to continue the way it always had prior to this. There’s just a lot of stress, anxiety and pressure that he feels whenever he has to spend time there that he’s not really fond of. Plus, with all the stress and anxiety, on top of the difference in his diet while in Italy, he always struggles with stomach issues while there.

For Yamamoto, the biggest culture shock is really just getting used to how grand everything seems. Namimori was kind of a sleepy little Japanese town where most everyone knows everyone else. He’s used to knowing all his neighbours. He’s used to just casually chattering away with the elderly folks. He’s used to a specific type of architecture. Italy? Nothing at all like what he’s used to. It really hit him, the scale and grandness of some of Italy’s architecture, how big the country really is, how just…different…everything is on that first trip he took there with Dino back as a teen. Despite knowing in his mind after that what Italy can be like and that it is different from Namimori, the fact still really hits him each and every time he goes there. To him, there’s just something old and grand and cultured about Italy and while he loves it, it also kind of makes him feel out of place at times.

Gokudera doesn’t really experience much in the way of culture shock when it comes to returning to Italy. He spent too many years of his life there, so he knows what it’s like. He’s accustomed to it and every time he returns, he just kind of slips effortlessly back into the customs and culture of the place. He not only has that going for him, but I also don’t see him as being someone who is prone to experiencing much culture shocks. Any time he is going to be travelling to someone new and unfamiliar to him, he spends a lot of time researching the geography, interesting locations, history, and culture of the place he’s going to. He learns social customs and taboos. He’s always been kind of a nerd when it comes to researching in that it’s something that makes him happy, but this kind of research also means that he feels pretty well-prepared for exploring untrodden ground.

Ryohei? His biggest culture shock moment, and the thing he finds hardest to adjust to, is definitely the currency system. He’s spent his entire life using Japan’s currency system. He knows the yen. It’s all he knows. So switching to the euro and remembering how to convert a yen to a euro on the fly? It’s really, really hard for Ryohei, who isn’t the best at math-based things to begin with. It kind of hurts his brain and it’s going to take him at least a solid month before he becomes at all comfortable with it. Even then, he’s still going to prefer what he’s grown up with and is the most comfortable, and frequently encourages his Italian friends to champion converting their country’s currency system over to the yen.

While Lambo might have spent the first four to five years of his life in Italy, enough to have pleasant memories of it, he has, for the large part, grown up in Japan. He’s spent most of his formative years in Japan. He’s no more fully steeped in Italy’s culture than an Italian-American who goes on their first trip to Italy to ‘discover their roots’ is. It also doesn’t help that a lot of his memories are from such a young age, when they’re hazy enough that he doesn’t remember what was make-believe and what was truly real. Because of that, he is definitely prone to culture shock. The biggest one that gets him is the food culture between Japan and Italy…honestly though, he’s not complaining. While he’ll miss Nana’s home cooking anytime he’s in Italy for long stretches, he’ll find he’ll go back to Japan and really end up missing out on some traditional Italian dishes that he routinely had while there as well.

Hibari experiences less culture shock then you would expect. It’s mostly because, when he travels, which we’ve been shown he does with startling frequency (he’s been travelling as an adult when we see him in the Future Arc, he travels to various places to train with Dino during the ring arc), there’s explicit reasons and purpose behind his travels. When he’s going someplace new, someplace outside of Namimori or even outside of Japan, he’s doing so for one or two explicit reasons and those reasons are all he cares about. He doesn’t want to sightsee. He doesn’t give a shit about the culture or immersing himself in it. He can speak the language (sometimes only crudely, but enough to carry on basic conversations), he can figure out where he’s going, that’s all he needs. It’s really tough to experience culture shock when you don’t care about the culture, when you just want to accomplish something and leave the country.

Mukuro really doesn’t experience a lot of culture shock anytime he’s in Italy. It’s got nothing to do with whether he’s from there or not originally, as I know there’s some differing opinions on that, but more to do with the fact that Mukuro travels the world. He’s not someone who stays exclusively in one location constantly and has no experience outside his home base. He likes traveling and he’s someone who honestly finds a lot of fun in learning about the culture of a place before going there. Some of his ideas are definitely very misinformed and based on popular media, but he does his best to learn the language of the area and at least the broad strokes of culture. He doesn’t really get ‘culture shock’ because he’s throwing himself into the culture, getting as immersed in it as humanly possible, whenever possible. The new experiences and the differences in how societies function intrigues him instead of confusing him.

Chrome’s biggest culture shock the first time she was in Italy? Just how physically affectionate Italian’s seem to her. To her, compared to Japan, they seem very touch-focused and it’s something she really, really doesn’t like. There’s a lot of amazing things about Italy in Chrome’s mind, but that’s not one of them.

I imagine, when Tsuna comes into power, Tsuna starts changing the more barbaric flame laws.

I imagine, at one point, Takeshi and Chrome are enjoying lunch in town when they overhear a group insulting Tsuna and his "soft" way of ruling.

I imagine -- getting up from his seat and walking over to those who dare -- Takeshi interrupts the conversation, and laughs, and says, all friendly-like, "I'm not sure why you're complaining." (And his eyes are flat, like a shark's, and his smile is ever-so-slightly off, as if he's just mimicking something he's seen other people do.) "After all, under the old laws, you would have just lost yourself a tongue."

I imagine Chrome drifting over, sweet and not-all-there, leaning on Takeshi's arm and looking up at him all child-like, saying, "They're so upset, Takeshi. Maybe we could make an exception for them?"

I imagine Takeshi looking down at her, and then looking back up at the scum, and tilting his head, considering.

I imagine them shutting up very quickly.

(They retain their tongues, because Takeshi and Chrome know that there is no greater way to insult Tsuna than to hurt someone in his name. But oh, that doesn't stop them from dreaming.)

KHR Rarepair Week Day 5 - Opposites Attract - Kurumi/Chrome (KuruKuro) 🥺💖✨base ref

[yarrayora]

im not really interested in the idea of kyouko and haru becoming combatants, even as healers, it feels like agreeing with the mafia's notions that someone's worth is based on how much blood they're able to spill

but i also can't see them staying forever protected behind the boys, because it's just impossible for them to be guarded 24/7, it's also impossible for their guards to not slip up

so imagine this, bianchi knocking on chrome's door and asks "you grew up a civilian, tell me which part of this is appropriate for girls like them." and she shows her a self-defense curriculum she prepared for kyouko and haru

bianchi already crossed out sexual favors from the list even before she gets here. it was only effective with her because her body could produce poison, good girls like those two wouldn't be able to handle it (she will never reflect about how those things fucked her up too, because that's just how the mafia rolls, and if she thinks about it even a bit she'll break) but she didn't expect even a little bit of flirting isn't going to be effective

"it's not because they're civilians" chrome says "it's because they're too sincere, they won't be able to pull it off"

no killing either, for obvious reasons. bianchi frowns as chrome keeps crossing out her plans and watering it down. "this isn't effective" she says

"it's not." chrome agrees "but i think it'll be worse getting them used to violence."

Do you ship it?

[katzkinder]

I love the transformation Chrome goes through by the end of the series. I love that she’s hinted to be vindictive, and shown to be greedy, and her soft spoken nature serves to hide that the apple she plies you into complacency with is full of razor blades

I love that her greed is exactly what allowed her to remain by Mukuro’s side.

She’s been a doormat for a long time. Letting people walk all over her… That’s fine. But she can’t continue to do that and get what she wants, so she changed. She transformed. She became more powerful than the man who saved her life, and she dedicates that power to protecting what she’s found.

Because it’ss not like Mukuro is all she wanted, either

If that were the case, she wouldn’t be with Tsuna, she wouldn’t be friends with the other girls, she wouldn’t have sought comfort from Kyoko after Mukuro’s misguided abandonment.

And it’s her relationship and the opportunity Mukuro gave her that’s what gave her the chance to say “I’m allowed to want things. I’m allowed to have the things I want. I’m allowed to want and have multiple things. I don’t have to choose anything except for myself”

And I think, for all the faults there are with the execution of Chrome’s story (her perpetual damsel in distress role to showcase that Mukuro wasn’t heartless pissed me off so fast), her burgeoning independence from Mukuro is a wonderful story of recovery, personal choice, and learning to love yourself.

The reason Chrome struggled to support her own body was never because she lacked the power to construct her own organs. It’s because she was afraid, and how many times have we convinced ourselves of our helplessness out of fear that once we no longer required aid, the people who supported us would drift away? She clung to Mukuro because he was the first person to look at her and say ‘you are worth something’

She learned to stand on her own because I-pin, Kyoko, Haru, and Tsuna taught her that it didn’t matter what she worth. She still deserved gentleness. She still deserved love.

And she took that lesson and used it to give back to the person who helped her to live long enough to learn it.

MM criticizes Chrome during for future arc for trailing after Mukuro, saying he only intends to use her

Chrome knows better

Because if all Mukuro needed was a body, why bother with her, who was missing so many pieces? The answer, of course, is simple

Mukuro saw something of himself in her. And through protecting him, Chrome also learns to want to protect herself.

And goddamn will she be ruthless about it
