something i love abt natsume yuujinchou:

how it deals with natsume's trauma.

it doesn't brush it aside and ignore it, but it also doesn't throw it in your face and repeat the exact same scene every time (cough atsushi bsd there are ways to show trauma and it works ig but it's so. in your face. we don't need the exact same thing every time).

which is part of where natsume shines, i think. it shows natsume's journey, from a shy, closed off boy who trusts no one, not even himself, to someone who lets people in, despite the hardships and fear it brings him. now bear in mind i've not finished with the anime, nor have i read the manga, though i have it loaded and ready to read.

i'm smack in the middle of his healing process, and seeing how tanuma and taki refuse to let him be - how kitamoto and nishimura continue to seek him out - how natori so clearly latched onto him and wishes to keep him safe - it's just... heartwarming. natsume is finally in a place where he can heal and learn to live as a person, not as a ghost, with people who choose him and who he chooses back. and he recognizes that, and he makes an effort to shed his mask, even though it takes time and there are setbacks.

it's a show about healing, and trust, and people, and how though you may not realize it, no matter the oddities you may have, you will eventually find the people that love you despite - or because - of those unique quirks.

...and comparing natsume's flashbacks to atsushi's, while both are to show how beaten down they've been in the past and supposed to help with the story, showing how they overcome their troubles - atsushi always has the one flashback of the headmaster, and it gets tiring, while natsume is shown at multiple points in time with different people. the manga definitely does atsushi better, or so i've heard, but there are plenty of anime only fans that tire of it. don't get me wrong, i love them both, but there's just something natsume does better about it.

Reiko au Post!! (Also a random Bi Han sketch I didn’t finish)

The basic synopsis of this au is that Reiko is good! He ends up working against the rebellion that he was once part of, after he comes to the realization that there is No honor in hurting the people he swore he was fighting for. He ends up working alongside the royal sisters, redeems himself, and over time works his way up through the ranks until he becomes Kitana’s second in command! They grow close and trusting of each other.

Natsume Takashi

[souenkun]

"I wish you could see it, too" got a whole new meaning when it's revealed that takashi has all these precious people he could actually enjoy pretty, interesting sceneries with (even if he didn't get to see them together for some instances), while reiko likely had no one to do that after what had happened with souko 💔

fwee top 5 things i had fun with this year :-)

[thoughtfulzombienerd]

I realized that although I like some popular ships, most of my favorites are underrated ships? like Shangchi (which I still don't understand why it's not popular), Syraka, Rain x Havik x Reiko, Johnny Cage x jax mk11, Geras x liu kang, Johnny cage x liu kang 1995 and judge me but Shao khan x Shang tsung

I think I should start making more content on these ships to satisfy myself

[sumayyou]

The experience of watching NatsuYuu is either I cry during the episode, or I cry after the episode just thinking about it.

Oh- or both oc, its both a lot of the time🫠💖👍...

Pre relationship rain/reiko stuff! (Messy sketchy art sorry :3)

Yapping about my headcannons for the ship under this:

[lots of spelling errors probably, be warned :3] I think they were like, childhood friends. Reiko becoming Shao Kahn’s kid basically placed him into the Royal family circle. And outside of the sister Rain was the only other guy around. I imagine the two bonded quickly and basically were best friends. Bonding over the Mutual want to test their limits, to grow stronger, reach higher.

friendship turned into romance into their late teens. A secret romance, something both of them didn’t really want people to know, specifically shao kahn. Nothing crazy just, often escaping responsibility in a rainy night. Especially after Rain became high mage, the two hung out a lot at night.

Reiko becoming second in command, and his devotion to Shao Kahn drove a wedge in-between them. So focused on “I owe him my life” kinda debt the two just, drift. Cut off entirely when rain leaves Shao Kahn and goes on the run from basically everyone after drowning that city (can’t remember the name on the top of my head rn).

I specifically think about that one dialogue thing where reiko says “shao kahn still needs you.” To Rain

and all I can think about it. “But I needed you.”

Anyways, Rain finds Reikos absolute devotion to Shao Kahn almost horrifying. he wants him to be broken free of that sort of mindset

anyways I’m just coughing out random thoughts

bye bye :3
