#I’m always long winded when it’s something I’m passionate about 🥲

[animeboyswhump]

What is the reason that made you watch Natsume Yuujinchou? It is my favorite anime because of Natsume childhood and his development with relationships,and of course a lot of whump (Sorry if it sounds weird).At first I think I’m such a weird person because who would love stuff like this? Everyone will definitely teased me,maybe I’m wrong after all?

It’s been such a long time😅. Based on my old notes, I’m estimating ~6 years ago (aka ~2.5 years after I started getting into anime).

My memory’s fuzzy, but I definitely used to see it whenever I scrolled through Crunchyroll’s library. And iirc, it was #1 on a “Top 10 list of (some genre) anime” YouTube video back in the day, and I THINK that’s the first time I heard a synopsis/saw a clip of it. Since I’ve never had NatsuYuu in common with any friends, I imagine it must have been a combination of those two things that got me to start it. Though I’m confident I would have come across it through other means eventually.

Unless it was super freaking subconsciously, my initial attachment to NatsuYuu had nothing to do with whump. After joining whumplr last year, I saw someone describe Natsume as “the king of anime whump,” and at the time I was like, “lol nahhh….” but after giving it some thought I realized, “OH SHIT SHE’S KINDA RIGHT THIS POOR BOY!!”😭😭

But yeah. I was oblivious to injury whump up until a bit ago, and while the episodes where he gets sick have a very special place in my heart, I absolutely would have fallen in love with the show regardless of whump.

I adore the tone of the show. It can be so relaxing and tender and beautiful. During school, I tried to listen to the soundtrack while studying and couldn’t bc I got too relaxed/emotional. It can actually be hard to watch sometimes too bc it hurts SO much when he’s sad/scared. I mean, anything about when he was younger and treated poorly, I just Weep. The way it depicts loneliness and compassion hits me so deeply and in such a unique way.

Natsume’s character development (albeit Very slow) is a joy to watch, and I love how his different relationships are portrayed.

Two of my favorite episodes in the series are the ones from the perspectives of Nishimura, Kitamoto, and the Fujiwaras (S5E10 & S6E6) when Natsume had just recently come to town. I’m so happy Natsume has friends like Tanuma and Taki who he can talk youkai business with, but seeing how there are “normal” people who acknowledge that there’s something different about him and still love and accept him without prying for answers is also wonderful.

For youkai relationships, an episode that made a strong impression on me is S3E4💖. He’s just… such a good boy and I want to protect him always. But he’s also very strong and I believe in him. Also his whole relationship with Nyanko-sensei is such gold.

Like any piece of fiction, I’m sure Natsume’s story means many different things to many different people. For me, NatsuYuu is like a safe place to go home to.

ooo Hi Mel!!I’m back!:)) It’s currently 6:18 am and I haven’t slept,,I randomly thought about this ask and I hope it’s fine lmfosjdjd.. Shinso with a long distance online relationship with a fem gamer reader,*Optional*[let’s just say they’re both famous streamers/played together before and that’s how they know each other] but what if one of them fly out to surprise the other ! Have a good day Mel🖤

I hope I didn’t make any spelling mistakes cause I’m exhausted and will probably sleep rn

plus the amount of times I tried to proof read it 🥲, It’s literally 6:43 am rn as I send this

-🐈‍⬛

a/n: hi my love!! I'm glad you're back, I missed you <3 and sorry for the delay :') i hope you rested well and pls take care of yourself, okay? btw, i loved your idea!! its so cute 😭

You were exhausted, to say the least. Doing long lives like this always drained any and all energy from you, but Shinsou was there to support you, to hold you and demonstrate his love for you through silly comments that always make you laugh. He was the first person who told you to go rest after you said you were sleepy, he cares about you and always wants you well. You said you were fine and could play for a few more hours before going to sleep, but minutes later he texts you, lovingly asking you to rest and take care of yourself, and smiling like a lovesick fool, you ended your live.

He called you to tell you how amazing you were and how proud he is, but the call lasted a lot less than expected. You always call each other at night and talk about your day, sometimes you are silent but you know the other is there and that's enough, and you just end the call the next morning. But today was different, he spoke quickly and said he was busy and needed to go, but well, who's busy at 2 am?

You left that aside because it wasn't weird that he had to do something in the middle of the night.

You tried to sleep, but you couldn't. You were frustrated with yourself for not being able to rest while your body and mind begged, but something was making you roll over in bed, as if you were waiting for something. Maybe it's because you always sleep on call with Shinsou, and you've gotten so used to hearing his voice before bed that maybe you're waiting for him. You just gave up trying to sleep when the first rays of sunlight invaded your room through the curtains, and with a sigh of defeat you get up to start the day.

.

You were having coffee when Shinsou calls you, with a racing heart and a smile on your lips you answer him.

“Good morning, sunshine.” You smile when you hear his voice. “Could you open the door? I'm hungry and it's cold out here.”

You freeze for a few seconds, trying to figure out if that was a joke or not… But Shinsou never joked about it, so….

Without realizing it, you run to your front door still holding your cell phone to your ear. With your free hand, you open the door and shock takes over your being completely.

Shinsou was standing in front of you, his cell phone also to his ear and one hand in his pocket.

“Surprise?” he says with his eyes shining and before he can say anything else you hug him tight.

Happy tears trickled down your cheek as he squeezed you even tighter. You couldn't believe he was here, holding you like you were the most precious thing in the world while his scent completely enveloped you. You couldn't believe that you had finally embraced the love of your life.

You didn't care about the cold morning wind or your tears that wet Shinsou's shoulder, you just cared that your hearts beat as one, that your love was stronger than ever.

He takes your face in both hands, wiping away dry tears. He looks at you passionately and lightly strokes your cheek with his thumb.

“I came for you, my love…” he whispers before kissing you passionately, like there's no tomorrow.

With foreheads still touching and the taste of your lips on his, he smiles and closes his eyes, wanting to keep this moment in his heart forever.

While it's still on my mind, i hope that,, you don't mind me assuming what vision probably fits you? :3 i would like to share my thoughts about it ★~ (again, there is no need to reply to my asks immediately 😤 i understand the feeling of tiredness when writing/replying to asks so don't force yourself, okie?? :3

You give me cryo and/or anemo (with a lil bit of pyro!) vibes. How do i explain this,, 😂 hmm let's say that Cryo people are actually those kind of people who also love the most? (I am not sure if you are described to be aloof by others, but what i think is that you warm up gradually to people you like and so you are very kind and open to them!) Cryo because i would relate it to your hesitations about reaching out (this is intended for positive context!;) and the quite shy nature (i was also thinking of ganyu). Cryo because (this is only my thoughts >< so tell me if i got smth wrong xD) i think you're nice, cold and soothing like a glass sculpture, full of magnificence yet when angered you're like a sharp and pointed icicle, guarding the soft frozen waters of your heart.

Anemo because there's a heavy load of responsibility on your shoulders (especially that you study medicine, which is quite a core career in terms of taking care of other people or saving lives) + the busy schedule 😂 (yes if you don't notice, this is... just like jean's situation). It also seems to me that you have taken a liking to the anemo boys?? :3 please correct me if i'm wrong ok? :D Despite the heavy responsibility, you still try to breath and loosen yourself from time to time, plus anemo wielders tend to be caring towards others too, no? :3 You also give me a breezy vibe, where the air is clear and refreshing— it feels like being gently carried by the wind.

Pyro for your warm nature and passion about the medical field !! Pyro, not maybe because of high energy, but because of the flaming potential that you contain inside, untouched and still steady even if flickering at times :D The flame in you still keeps going no matter what!! (especially when you wanna relate stuff to your medical learnings!!)

Was also 🙈 when i found out Dan have seen our interactions here,,,, i feel so shy 🙈🙈 but it's nice to let her know solidly that we def are getting along well <333

Rest well whenever you can!~ 🥰🥰🥰

I swear there's really *something* compelling me to always write you long asks,,, i hope you enjoy reading them tho 👹👹👹

— Wishing you the best of luck, 🍰.

hello 🍰❣️

i don’t mind at all!! actually i think it’s sweet of you to give this so much thought, i’m flattered 🥺🥺 thank you so much for sharing with me!

about cryo: while i don’t get described as aloof, i do get described as quiet and hard to get to know 🥲 but it’s true, i love a lot and very easily, which makes me very prone to get hurt, so i just,,, shield myself. i also have cold hands and feet lmao rip my patients. when i’m angry though… i think you’re spot on. while i’m hard to truly anger, i’ve been told my words and the way i present myself can be as sharp as a knife. or an icicle, ig? i've never seen an icicle irl

about anemo: at this point i think i’m collecting anemo characters isgt it’s not even intentional - i see a character, i like them, i find out their element is anemo djklasdjal ANYWAYS. i’ve accepted i’m a jean kin at this point, thank you for opening my eyes hehe also thank you for the way you described me?? it made me feel so good about myself 🫣🥺🥺

about pyro: ...i know you probably didn’t mean for this to happen, but i promise you it’s not bad. it made me cry. maybe that’s why i was so reluctant to reply to this message, because i always came back to it. i really don’t want to be sad on main or worry you, but this past month has been one of the hardest i’ve faced and honestly i’m surprised i’ve survived it. the steady/flickering part is so so true, and reading it just gave me really warm feelings. with my whole heart, thank you ❤️

also, dan saw our interactions?? my gosh sklajdsklajld not that i mind but sometimes i forget other people can see the way i interact with people and the world and everytime i’m reminded my brain goes “wait, you exist to other people and they can see you”. mental illness at its’ finest ig 🤪😂 and true!! it really is nice, and i’m grateful that we are 💕💕

if you don’t mind, i’d like to share my two cents about that visions i think fit you too! because i’ve been thinking about it as well ehe

geo: you’re solid and steady, much like what the element represents. you’re also constant, even when/if things wear you down - sure, they may shape you, and sometimes the weight of things may seem like it’s too much, but you always come through, and you come back better from them. you’re also constantly learning, and much like rocks are the bed for all things, you’re capable of nurturing and uplifting things and making them better. honestly i kinda wanna associate you with dendro, but the only character we know so far with a dendro vision is baizhu, so this is something i’ll keep in mind to see if you fit or not. :3c

pyro: it may seem like a given, but you’re warm. talking to you always gives me that feeling of sitting around a bonfire and talking with friends, laughing and truly just enjoying the moment. and even when things become quiet, there’s always that lingering feeling of being comforted and content.

please let me know if any perception i have of you is wrong LMAO 💝
