IT'S THEM...in a different font.

Seriously besides Momo and Okarun reminding me of Kurata and Hiro, I didn't think I would get the same feelings from reading Dandadan that I had while reading Kono oto Tomare. Like they are on opposite ends of the spectrum of premises. Kono oto Tomare is a heartwarming youth centric story about music, while Dandadan is...I mean how do you even begin to describe it?

I guess it's the friendship as found family vibes for me, as well as the absolutely tearjerking back stories. Who knew I would cry in a manga about aliens, ghosts, and golden balls.

ever since someone mentioned how iconic honey lemon from bh6 i haven't?? been able?? to get it out of my head??

for people who don't know, there's a series for bh6 (titled big hero six the series woop woop!!) and one of the episodes was centric around honey lemon also being a girl in!! the arts!! she attends the san fransokyo art institute (sfai) and had her art w the gang hung up in the visual arts gallery

the san fransokyo institute of technology and the san fransokyo art institute ARE rival schools, but honey lemon just still. loves exploring both fields and her friends are crazy supportive of her (in the end the rival thing is also just for funsies and it's honestly such a fun episode) i just think it is SO COOL that FOR ONE !! she's a woman in stem who wears feminine clothing + heels despite already being tall + HAS INCREDIBLE FASHION SENSE + is a genuinely good person and is TWO !! also heavily involved in the arts LIKE BRO IDK ABOUT YOU but i think it's a really good message for kids (but honestly everyone) to know that they don't have to pick one specific route to follow + can pursue what they love

Julia is in a lot of danger... 😬

Been thinking about Hiro and Nike, but specifically about Nike and how she winds up copiloting with Hiro

And I realized if I ever do get around to their one shot, it's gonna be incredibly painful. Not because of any physical violence in it but because Nike's entire thing was that she lacked self awareness so she'd accidentally be annoying or embarrassing.

She'd get super excited over Kaiju, which in story is like being a big fan of bugs in a place where many people hate them and would crush one without hesitation.

And she winded up having her old friend group distance themselves from her because she struggled somewhat with social cues and was still kind of childish while everyone else was relatively more mature. So she was infantilized in their heads and was seen more like the kid they'd have to babysit.

Which meant they left her out of a lot of stuff sometimes just because they didn't want to deal with her.

So the pain of the one shot REALLY comes from readers having to deal with potential second hand embarrassment and Nike taking brutal L after L before she befriends Hiro and starts getting Ws.

looks to my left. looks to my right

cross is a huge fucking crybaby. like he’s almost always on the verge of tears and i feel like that gets scrubbed out in most fandom spaces to make him the “stoic, emotionless and goal-driven solider” for the story. like im not trying to be mean for pointing out the mischaracterization but it is undoubtedly present. like it would make sense for someone that experienced what cross has (losing his family, getting manipulated by his former best friend’s sibling, realizing your abusive father was GOD, etc.)

i havent seen it in a while but the earlier cross ship content i’ve indulged in usually portrayed cross as either this baby that cant take care of himself without his partner or as this almost obsessive protector that was only really himself around them. (not sure if im wording this right bro 😓💔) but what im getting at is that just didnt Feel like cross. i understand the appeal and everything but im just 💔💔

i do enjoy when fics make him a huge dork bc as serious as cross can be, he’s an idiot. he’d do all these romantic gestures and shit and just ARRGHHH. im thinking abt the art jakei made with x!red and cross giving her roses. like yeah he’d do that fr

(art by jakei)

Jerza is all about body and sex positivity, and from an ace perspective, I respect and appreciate it

[morangoowada]

I was bored so I made Brazilian THH cast just for fun

Part 1 maybe? I need to make Mondo later but I'm lazy to do his hair-

[itshirohi]

Yall... the urge to write something with my Kengan OCs is so strong... (Like random headcanons or something) just to fill the void of not being able to draw that much while I'm *still* sick 😔

But at the same time I am incredibly rusty in writing and completely out of ideas :/

POV you watch hiro get shot in thefucking head

why the hell did everyone collectively go “taka? he’ll be fine in no time!” after he witnessed his only friend get brutally executed

Why did the zodiac curse break?

One of the many mysteries of Fruits Basket is why did the curses break the way they did? Why was Kureno freed without any effort and Rin (who worked so hard for it to break) saved for the last moment? Well, thats kinda complicated.

Even before Kureno’s curse broke, he’s always been more closed off from the other members besides Akito. His animal form being a sparrow instead of a rooster exemplifies this. So his bond was weak to begin with. The straw that broke the curses back however, was when Akito wanted to see him fly. And so he did exactly as she asked, but not in the way either of them expected.

Next is Momiji. The zodiac member who’s probably the most comfortable with his animal spirit, the rabbit. This is shown by him wearing things just bc they’re cute (see: him wearing a girls uniform but with shorts). At least, thats how it looks on the outside. As we know, his curse is why he can’t have a loving family or even interact with them. And it separates him from his love, Tohru. No matter how many times he expresses his affection for her, she still sees him as a little kid. This is shown by him eagerly hugging her every chance he gets even tho he knows he’ll turn into a rabbit. He’ll never be able to embrace her as himself. But then he gets his growth spurt. Momiji was tired of being the cute little rabbit, and now he finally gets to be a man. This is shown by him wearing a boys uniform and being more forward with Tohru. And this is what breaks it. Momiji puts someone else above the Zodiac, above God, and that combined with him rejecting his little rabbit personality and wanting to grow up, to move forward, breaks his curse.

Now, if putting someone above Akito was all it took to break the curse, then why didn’t the others break when they fell in love with someone? Simple, they still put Akito first. Whether it was hiding their relationship to keep Akito happy, asking her permission for their marriage, or just letting her know that they loved someone, they considered Akito’s feelings before their beloved. Momiji is one of the few to directly stand up to Akito to defend the one he loved, taking a punch from her and going to get help when Tohru was by herself. The others stood by (unwillingly) bc they feared Akito’s wrath and the repercussions it may have on Tohru and themselves. His curse didn’t break right then tho because deep down, he felt guilty for wanting to put Tohru above Akito in importance. The God still had a hold on him. His growth spurt gave him the confidence to move forward without Akito and the zodiac, even if Tohru wouldn’t be by his side.

The last one we’ll talk about is Hiro. The zodiac member who doesn’t seem to match with his animal, the sheep, until you take a closer look. When we think of sheep, we think of an animal who’ll follow its leader without question. And Hiro doesn’t follow any external leader, in fact he refuses to take anybody seriously, complaining constantly and utilizing sarcasm in the most infuriating ways possible. But in reality, he follows one thing without question: his ego. No matter whats going on he will find a way to belittle someone in an attempt to make himself superior, unless you’re Kisa or his parents. Later on he realizes how childish this is, and tries to stop, and his attitude gets sorta better. But then, his little sister was born. This fast tracks his character growth, as now he has someone who will look to him for guidance, and he found within himself the desire to be an older brother, to protect her. Once again, putting someone else over the Zodiac and Akito combined with wanting to move forward and grow broke the curse. This couldn’t have happened with Kisa, since she’s a member of the Zodiac, and since the curse allows them to hug each other regardless of gender, we can infer that the curse has no issue with romantic relationships happening within the Zodiac. Akito was the one who had issues with it (for obvious reasons).

Finally, everyone else’s curses broke bc Akito gave them the freedom to move forward and grow:)

So, what we have learned is that the method in which to break the zodiac curse, is either the God giving the animals freedom, or the animals putting somebody else over their God and moving forward in life without them. Thank you for reading my rambling, and have a nice day/night<3

arospec flag, aroflux flag and the aceflux flag

i also really like the transf flag, probably because of the pinks i think theyre really pretty shades pf pink
