How it started vs. how it’s going - confession and kissing scene in I cannot reach you (2023)

[martian-astro]

I like demon slayer, but I liked yona of the dawn even more 😭 and I'll never get over the fact that we only got one season of it even though it had a waaayyyy better storyline than demon slayer. It hurts knowing that shonen will always be placed at a higher level than shoujo.

Kimi ni wa Todokanai EP8 Final

[yuripoll]

S3 LOSERS ROUND 1

NOTE: A Kiss & White Lily for My Dearest Girl contains suggestive scenes, as well as sibling(? more complicated than that) incest between a minor side couple. Composing Spring […] is about death and grief, and additionally depicts depression and suicidality.

born to live in a shoujo manga, forced to like his IG story 😫

[shoujo-josei-anime-poll]

Hello shoujo and josei fans! Soon I'll be doing an anime tournament using Tumblr polls. Feel free to suggest some series for me to include in the tournament in this form <3

Update: form is now closed, polls are up on the blog!

[ssummermemoir]

I feel more emotionally involved reading a shoujo manga than I ever felt with any man

[catlover-multifandom]

(in a free mood again here we gooooo)

Free canon moments I think about a lot

Rin writing “fuck” in the elementary school yard

mecha salmon roe

the mr steal yo mako face (you know the one.)

Steve the cat existing

Haru and nagisa working at wcdonald’s or whatever it’s called in the freeverse

romio mentioning florida

haru makoto asahi and kisumi having a hangout in asahi’s apartment (at least I think it was his, it was in a df episode)

tomadoburiranchinburiranti!

makkou the dog

🎶 tabidachi no asa ni miageru sora ni 🎶

Haru and seijuro being friends

Haru’s mascot obsession (relatable im also obsessed with yuru kyara now)

Rei in the novelization

“Nagisa’s mermaid” video and then it got booed when they accidentally played baby videos of haru and makoto lol

Nagisa’s sister’s sketch friend that isn’t quite her boyfriend

Kaede coming back from the concept art grave in s3

the high of s3 in general because I remember counting down the days for it to come out and oh boyyyyyyy summer 2018 has such a special place in my heart. pure euphoria!!

Rin giving Sousuke a koala shirt

MATCHING FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

everyone pointing out that Rin has cleavage

“no chips at the pool” **SHOTS FIRED**

Makoto’s mixer nightmare

Rei getting drunk on chocolate

the fact that makoto haru Nagisa and rei would have sleepovers together and haru gets so happy to be with them and he fell asleep early HES SO CUTE

Haru and asahi getting worried thinking makoto would fall for mlm scams in Tokyo

Haru’s profile picture being Iwatobi chan

the squid festival drama cd track and Rei’s puns from s1 that everyone ignored

Haru and Albert’s friendship happening because they just like the same fish and they don’t need words to eat mackerel together

Rin crying over the rat movie

shizuru’s existence in general. he’s so funny and silly and he looks like makoharu had a child

the mackerel body pillow that makoto gave haru for his birthday

continuing off the last one: the team thinking haru turned into a mackerel and nagisa telling makoto he has to kiss him to make him back to normal 💀

the scene in s1e1 where Nagisa kicks the can to scare makoto

Rei being uptight and serious and very professional man™ and then gradually loosening up and being less guarded and being his genuine silly smart self and having fun and you can see how much love he has for everyone as the show goes on… and the love and genuine affection he has for his friends keeps increasing even when you thought his heart was already the biggest it could get. it gets so much bigger. and the fact that he learned to swim and got to nationals for an individual event in 3 years. Rei I love you no one could ever make me dislike you you’re a beautiful butterfly

the general babygirlification of rin matsuoka as the series progresses

free mastering the “character that is a jerk at first but the second they’re forgiven/not a jerk you absolutely love them to pieces” archetype (rin, sousuke, hiyori!)

haru being an old man when it comes to technology: “sorry I haven’t looked at my phone in 2 weeks”

perfect body

haru almost dying like 10 times throughout the series

haru giving makoto his gold medal in that one artwork AAAAAAGGGHHHHWJFJEDJEKS

more of a fandom thing, but the whole makoto train scare back when fs1 came out

in df when ryuji is trying to teach haru and makoto translates it to haruspeak, they show you makoto smiling when haru turns around and half his face is cut off from the screen because he’s shorter than makoto lololol

Haru trying to escape the premises the second he sees kisumi

the scene of haru driving in Tokyo and makoto freaks out the entire time… guys I think they somehow got actual footage of me driving when my mom is in the passenger seat

the reigisa montage before their races at nationals in df. MY HEART

the entire show honestly… if there’s one thing you got from this post, it’s that I will never be free of free (I’m perfectly happy to keep it that way)

hi yinggg! really love how accurate and in-character your headcanons are ❣️❣️

your drawing hcs for goo and lua got me curious on what (kind of) anime would lookism characters be a fan of/won't stop talking about. i would like to know your thoughts about it. 🤗🤗

hope you have a nice day! 🫶🫶

Hello Hi ~~ Aaa tysm for your kind words!! I’m glad you like my HCs!! And your question is really interesting! 💕🌸

Since I already shared my HCs about Goo and Lua I’ll exclude them this time ~

Also I didn’t watch most of these Animes/ didn’t finish watching so I’m sorry if there’s anything wrong with it~

What Animes would Lookism characters watch

Daniel

I feel like Daniel wouldn’t be too big of an Anime fan

probably watched some of the more popular ones (?)

Mostly watches ShounenAnime

One piece (he didn’t watch all of it only a few episodes)

Demon Slayer

Naruto

Bleach

HxH

Vasco

He watches Cartoons more than Anime but sometimes he also watches Anime

Pokemon Go

Detective Conan

Doraemon

Zack

The type who watches Sport Animes

Free!

Haikyuu

Baki the Grappler

and a lot of boxing Animes (I don’t know any though )

Mira and Zoe

Romance Anime, Shoujo, Ghibli Movies all the way~~~!!

They’ve watched Howls moving castle so many times

Kamisama kiss

Your lie in April

Ao Haru Ride

Oh and don’t forget Kimi ni Todoke

At this point I’m just kinda inserting my own favorite Animes 🌸

Johan

Maybe Horror/Psychological/Thriller Animes

The type who prefers to read manga

Junji Ito Collection

Perfect Blue

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Gun

Like Goo, a weeb

All kinds of Animes and he’s kind of just forgets about them after watching them once

BUT I like to think that Gun likes to watch „Yakzua to Househusband“ (I don’t know why it’s just funny to me)

Jake

Has similar taste to Daniel

watches only the popular stuff

Sword Art Online (even though everyone else in Big Deal dislike SAO Jake enjoys it a lot)

Alright ~ these are all of my HCs for now if there’s anything you’d like to add let me know! Once again tysm for the ask! ily and have a great day! 💖💕
