I went to the aquarium again the other day and there was this snapper fish that had all these spots and stripes on it, and it was the exact colour of Shuu’s hair. I love moments like that - when I see him in something.

Like hydrangea flowers - some of them are pink, but if you get one the right shade, then it’s this undefined emulsion of blue and purple. Or when the sunsets on certain days? Where the blue sky meets the pink? It makes the colour too. It’s that colour, it’s so indescribable. I see it quite a lot in fish, though - fish and flowers. Quite a few of them have that colour. I think I began to subconsciously associate Shuu with aquariums because I see him in them.

There used to be all that petty fighting about Shuu’s hair colour. Whether it was always blue and the anime was like soooo wrong, and all that. So I think because of that, I consider Shuu’s hair colour to sit in the middle. Whenever I see one specific reproduction of blue-purple or purple-blue, or where the colours meet and don’t quite mix - that’s the colour, to me. It’s quite rare, but it exists in nature, and when I see it I get quite emotional.

I think things like that are quite wonderful. It’s so strange to see something that makes you happy mix with another thing that makes you happy. I don’t think I feel so serene anywhere else.

#On the shuu’s hair colour debate:#It started as purple. But some early illustrations do lean into a bluer palette (ig which is closer to the colour i like).#But even when it leaned into blue i still feel it’s very much a lighter purple with more blue.#In re and later illustrations - his hair is blue. Like no argument. In re it’s blue.#So both are correct. In a sense #i hc that his hair went such a way bc of stress and malnutrition.#Eds fuck up your hair and everyone knows that #Mostly they make it fall out and go brittle but this is tg so #Tg characters face one minor inconvenience and start using manic panic as a means of psychological defense.#A manic panic homeostasis of sorts #It’s not serious but the shuu hair colour debate is so dumb and inconsequential to me like. Just look at the illustrations.#If you think one is more correct than the other then just use that one - it’s not wrong who gaf!!!!!#shuucore #gunk #shuu tsukiyama #tg gunk
