Morally Questionable Anime Milfs Side B Round 3 Match 4

Atsuko -

"okay listen she does care about her son very very much (and she's very hot), but there is also the matter of the Alcoholism, and she’s rarely ever in the house (son is in middle school) and also. it’s briefly shown that she’s got like… a Lot of yakuza buddies. not necessarily a parenting thing (and honestly kinda badass), but… you Probably don’t wanna be bringing organized crime near your kid. also Atsuko if you’re listening i’m free Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, any and every day you’ll have me,"

Lee Sookyung -

"Without spoiling too much: went to jail for murdering her husband, abandoning her adolescent son and then writing a book about murdering her husband, which made him a social outcast for his whole life. Then when she got out like 20 years later, she pulls the "mother knows best card" and tries to trap him in a magic prison to stop him from being with his boyfriend, whom she has decided is bad for him :) also she is h hot."

ik ppl hate fictional deadbeat moms but im an avid enjoyer. my feminism knows no bounds truly/j

like i get it she did a bad job. but shit she still did a job that's for sure!! like. she did it do you understand. 14 year old girl is pregnant. it's disgraceful. a shameful stain on her family. yusuke doesn't seem to have grandparents or anything so besides yusuke's bio dad she's got no one. and then when yusuke is a toddler the father disappears and considering who he is and what he's like that's probably for the best. gonna go out a limb and say that yusuke was maybe 4 or 5 when his dad cleared out so. at 18 and entirely alone. atsuko looked down at this little thing. this baby because he's still a baby to her this is a baby who only has her. Not even 4 feet tall with the biggest brown eyes looking to her for everything because he quite literally has no one else.

he doesn't know she's a failure yet. he doesn't know people will look down on them just because he exists as he is. he doesn't know how hard this is going to be from now on. all he knows is he loves his momma

so she doesn't cry. she just meets his big innocent eyes and goes "it's just you and me kid" and yusuke doesn't know that that's a sad thing.

so she takes care of him the best she can and it still sucks but yusuke doesn't know what the standard she should be held to is yet. for a small time she is the greatest and best person in his world and he's the only one who thinks so

then he meets keiko and her parents and finds out that his normal is actually dysfunctional and that his mom actually isn't all that great. that living day to day in the bottom of a bottle isn't healthy. so she's no longer praiseworthy but this person he's responsible for. just like that the roles reverse. because while she was all yusuke had yusuke is also all atsuko has. he doesn't respect her but he still punched the motherfucker in the mouth that called her a tramp. she taught him how to do it.

atsuko comes to terms with the fact that Yusuke doesn't really need her anymore, probably never did so she doesn't bother to care when he skips school or beats whoever he wants to a pulp or gambles because at 14 she was expecting so what the fuck can she really say about him. he sneers at her as he makes her coffee. atsuko lights another cigarette

it feels like betrayal when her son dies. at 14 she had him so how can he die at a sorry age like that. i wasted my teenage years on you for what? so you can die and leave me here? you fucking brat. how can she recover from this? yusuke was all she had. he hadn't looked up at her with an admiring gaze since he was 7 and stopped hugging her goodbye soon after but still he was hers he was hers and then he was gone

but then he comes back. and she doesn't get much better as a mom or as a person really. she tries harder than before maybe (keeping him in school) but yusuke never expected her to. he's made up of her bad habits and uncaring attitude but he's so much better than her. became something good something strong despite how shitty of a job she did raising him.

she's not proud because she has no right to be but something like it tugs in her chest when she sees him feeding the people he cares about at his little ramen cart looking as happy as the first time she'd taken him out to park.

yusuke's dad suggests taking another crack at the whole family thing and she wants to laugh in his face. the only family she'll ever have is that little boy who's stronger and braver than she'll ever be.

she doesn't want to see him laying cold in a casket ever again. he's meant for life, a soul as bright and durable as his. atsuko hopes he lives to see the sun explode

kinda thinking about how the women who serve as maternal figures/raise kids in yyh are never quite ready for it. genkai's an arguable exception, but like.. atsuko had yusuke at 15, shizuru's basically in charge of kazuma full time in her early 20s/late teens (depending on version) with very very absent parents, and even shiori is given a kid she wasn't expecting, in the form of an old, old demon rather than like. a regular, blank slate ass human baby. and although shiori seems to do quite well with kurama, kurama can never be honest with shiori about who he is, or much of what he's seen. if he was, it'd probably make things far more complicated and overwhelming. atsuko, no matter how much she cares for yusuke, Could Not Have Been and thus wasn't ready to have him at 15. her attempts to make the most of that situation have had middling success at best. shizuru has also been placed into a parental role. we don't really know how long she's been raising kuwabara, but that's.. probably still parentification anyway. she shouldn't have to do that, and she shouldn't have to do that so young. and i think some of her coarseness with kuwa is out of frustration with her own inexperience + inadequacy + uncertainty, his not cooperating, and their parents for putting this on her in the first place. the ones who know the full extent of their situation grow desperate and it squeaks out in unpleasant ways, and the one who seems unbothered by it is the only one who has no idea that she's in way over her head. and i mean. ok. gonna preface this by saying keiko is NOT yusuke's mom in any sense of the word. but she does take care of him in a way atsuko couldn't manage to. she's often looking after him and cleaning up after his messes and stuff. she takes him on as a responsibility, and that is, in a way, a caretaker role. not to say that it SHOULD be her responsibility, but it's how she ends up being.

and when the stress of trying to make someone take care of themselves or be kind or good or Whatever goes awry, again, the violence and arguing and distance and ugliness of caring for someone reveals itself.

and i wonder about that. for a series dedicated to physical fighting as a form of communication, what does it say that this extends to the complicated, quietly desperate situations of so many of the women/girls it depicts, whom our more central characters were shaped and raised by?

hell, even hiei touches on this, because hina loved hiei, but there was no way she was prepared for him, obviously, nor for the pain of losing him. rui (whom i also see as a sort of caretaker figure to hiei, inasmuch as either of them were caretakers) literally throws him off a cliff because she couldn't face down the village elders, and out of some mixture of care for hina and, likely, fear for her own survival. and the guilt and pain of that killed hina and deeply wounded rui.

it's like motherhood, this thing that's so often treated as sacred and beautiful, is a kind of stitched up, painful, eggshell-walking thing that hurts parent and child and it's just. oughh

[britcision]

Hey did i ever tell y’all my YuYu Hakusho OTP because it’s incredibly important to me that you know

ChuxAtsuko forever nothing else matters Chu needs to be Yusuke’s new stepdad

[pushovermediacritic]

Do you like Yu Yu Hakusho?

Do you specifically like the anime version, and haven't read the manga? Do you know what the anime version changed?

One major thing was removing Atsuko (Yusuke's mom) from the Dark Tournament. In the manga, she's there, part of the gal squad, cheering Yusuke on the whole time, but the anime cut her entirely.

Here are my favorite moments of Atsuko in the Dark Tournament that the anime cut:

During Kuwabara vs Rinku:

During Yusuke vs Chu:

Between Rounds:

Hiei vs Bui:

And then she REALLY turns it up for Yusuke vs Toguro:

Post-Tournament:

She's so awesome, I hate that the anime cut her, I think she's my favorite of the Gal Squad.

Morally Questionable Anime Milfs Side B Round 2 Match 7

Propaganda:

Big Mom -

"Proud mother of 85 and ruler of one of the nicest regions to live in the most dangerous sea in the world. However, she frequently goes on rampages where she eats everything in sight, which has resulted in at least one incident of cannibalism, and she maintains her power by siphoning away the lifespans of her citizens to animate her enforcers."

Atsuko -

"okay listen she does care about her son very very much (and she's very hot), but there is also the matter of the Alcoholism, and she’s rarely ever in the house (son is in middle school) and also. it’s briefly shown that she’s got like… a Lot of yakuza buddies. not necessarily a parenting thing (and honestly kinda badass), but… you Probably don’t wanna be bringing organized crime near your kid. also Atsuko if you’re listening i’m free Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, any and every day you’ll have me,"
