#also I just love Misaki that’s my baby

[ohnofujo]

Sorry to get into Junjou Discourse some more… I just think that not being able to SAY what he wants is such a big part (through line) of Misaki’s character that is unfair to ignore it in situations with Usagi.

Like Misaki’s “being selfish” moment in his own mind was asking if maybe just maybe he could leave some of his stuff at Usagi’s house when he moved out with his brother. And what he doesn’t say but what’s implied and Usagi picks up on is that leaving his stuff would give him an excuse to visit more often. Which means, Misaki doesn’t want to leave at all. Even tho he can’t bring himself to say that. All he can say is “could I leave my stuff— haha jk of course I’ll take my stuff.”

Also I think by how Usagi gets silent and like freezes this really is like the first time Misaki has ever said something that has even implied he wanted something different than what was just happening.

And just after asking that, he starts crying. Like he is not good at vocalizing what he wants even a little bit. Because he’s not even close to being straight forward in this moment and it’s very hard for him.

So, while yes, a lot of their interactions do come off as Usagi pushing himself on Misaki I’m not denying that… There is a clear emphasis throughout that Misaki isn’t good at saying what he wants and is more likely to just hint at it.

Like it’s a bit messy in a relationship to be like you need to pick up on hints because you could wrong!

And I think that’s why when Sumi mentions that Usagi might have forced Misaki, Usagi freaks out and feels guilty. Because, he hadn’t really thought he was ever forcing Misaki, probably (and I’m inferring) it seems like despite Misaki saying “no! no!” He was very physically into it… So Usagi assumed (and it seems correctly based on what Misaki says later) that Misaki was embarrassed/ashamed/etc.

ep 6–

me while watching the scene with professor what’s his name: I wanna punch this fkr in the face.

nowaki: I WILL DO IT FOR YOU KIZ!!

hahahahah

but okay, so here it is. the resolve. nowaki, baby, i need you to stop focusing so much on work (is what i wanted to say) but, well, now that i have watched the whole episode i have to say this: hiro, baby, i need you to stop being melodramatic and telling your man to go pursue his dreams and then getting mad that he does.

also can we just appreciate the face nowaki is a gentle as fuck lover, and hiro is the MOUTHIEST BOTTOM. Holy shitttt dude.

also lol at nowaki: i can’t control myself *rips clothing off in the library*

I find it funny just how many of my favorite bandori ships are between characters that have had like A event together and literally only one of them is the event the actual reason I ship them. Kokomoca event rewired my brain chemistry for all the others I either shipped them before hand or 4d chessed myself into it after ghfnrkfnf

[ultfreakme]

Okay I’m still on the verge of tears and can’t do this rn so buddy daddies ep 10 jumbled thoughts

Idk wtf anyone says anymore the entire kazurei relationship is queer there is absolutely NO denying it anymore. That scene where Kazuki is looking at kids with their moms, then it cuts to himself? Yeah that’s basically insecurity and feeling terrible he can’t fit their own family into societal standards. Yeah it’s about Miri missing Misaki, about how their careers aren’t meant to accommodate a child but its also about how society has made us all internalize that a ‘right’ family involves a mom, a dad, and a child/

Miri is absolutely sad that Misaki isn’t with her, but she’s never like, so upset she gets devastated. Misaki herself asks “do you like it here better than with me?” and what does Miri answer? She doesn’t says “yeah i like it better here”, BUT she also doesn’t say “I like it best with you!”, she completely dodges and says “I love you mama, and papas too”. Any time a situation involving a mother comes up, she’s like “would be nice if mama were here....anyways!” and doesn’t dwell on it.

I thought Rei smiling would kill me but Kazuki almost CRYING DESTROYED MY SOUL. It’s like watching either of my parents cry its heartbreaking and horrible and i want it to stop. He thought he’d never find that normal happiness, wanted it oh so desperately and then it’s....gone. The Ferris wheel symbolism was horrible I hate the OP for doing that to me. That opening where they’re in front of the billboards was just-- IT WAS IN FRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME

I think even Rei almost cried. On the ferris wheel, when they focused on his mouth and it twisted downwards before Miri pointed to the city. Kazuki crying was bad enough and had me tearing up too. If Rei was added into the mix I’d have been in shambles

Misaki holy shit wtf, life hates her, cut the woman some slack wow. Throughout the show she was defined by her singing and they took her voice away. It’s horrible, but I’m glad she has parents to go back to. I’m not fully convinced she can take care of Miri, but if she’s being genuine I think she’ll be just fine and would learn just like Kazurei.

Rei sounded so devastated when he was like “you can’t do this when we’re all attached”. Yeah this was his glimpse at normalcy, the one time in his entire life he got to be part of something that didn’t stifle him and it’s gone now. 

Kazuki wrapping the scarf around her- hey why don’t I just eat glass? Why don’t I just go on top of a cliff and scream?? Or set fire to my bed???

“I guess we can’t change” BABY NO YOU CAN. YOU CAAAN!!!

I thought Rei would defy the organization and say “screw it I want to protect this family I have”......but his most prominent memory of his mentor is him dying. How defiance led to his and his wife/gf’s horrifying death. In his head he’s probably thinking that’d be Kazuki and Miri if he doesn’t quit while they’re ahead. Alive and miserable, or dead while holding onto hopeless situations?

Kazuki.....idek.....just Kazuki baby I’m so sorry

Tadaima, Okaeri Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Misaki had a huge moment of doubt before baby Hinata was born when he was worried about their daughter having to face the struggles he’s had. However, as always, Hiromu sensed it immediately and they talked about it as a team after making out. They prepared Hikari for the role, and even named baby Hinata because of Hikari associating the baby with the sun. They now have two adorable children. We left at Matsuo reacting to a comment from Hiromu that papa Fujiyoshi asked if Yuki was his mate.

Not know what babies are finding funny is so real. Masaki just chilling and reading his book is the correct response.

Love that they always treat Hikari as a full participant in conversations and accept him immediately when he joins in. It’s really cool how they consistently instill purpose and responsibility into Hikari in a way that he seems to find fun.

Then there’s the way they teach Hikari how to take care of Hinata. Hiromu can’t let Hikari feed apples to Hinata yet, but Masaki can give him a compromise of letting Hinata watch him eat them. I like that they don’t tell him that the impulse is wrong, and explain the reason why he can’t follow through on it.

Poor Hikari. I’m glad Masaki told him he doesn’t have to give all of his things to Hinata. He overworked himself and how he’s sick.

I really love that Masaki and Hiromu feel like a team when it comes to parenting.

Wow, I actually really like Hiromu’s apology for Hikari opening Masaki’s emails. It’s good to teach kids about respecting privacy and acknowledging when they’ve made mistakes.

I really like that Hiromu’s parents are putting in real effort to make up with them.

This kimono moment is very touching. There’s something really special about this show not making reconciliation for past homophobic offenses an ongoing process, and how that isn’t quick for the offended party.

I really love this show. I prefer my slice-of-life shows to have a clear drama or theme for the episode that they take care of, and Japanese shows seem to understand that best most of the time. They’re also doing a good job with contextualizing Hikari getting a little bit older and more aware of the world and his surroundings. Even in this episode we had instances of him displaying more independence and surprising his dads. I love a low stakes drama like this so much.

What type of pets the couples would get

This is just my take on it, so please take it with a grain of salt.

Romantica: rabbits, probably a couple of them. I feel like Misaki might bring it up as a joke at some point, but then Akihiko takes it seriously and gets them a pair of rabbits. They end up with a condo full of rabbits, because the two they got just keep making babies.

Egoist: a puppy, like a Japanese Spitz. Nowaki would fall in love with a puppy he saw one day and Hiroki begrudgingly agrees to adopt it. The puppy would be well-trained, but also spoiled with treats.

Terrorist: I don't know if either of them are interested in keeping pets. They might have a fish tank full of pretty, tropical fish, because those can be fairly low-maintenance. Miyagi already has his hands full with Shinobu most of the time.

Mistake: also some kind of dog, like a Shiba Inu. Isaka will want a pet he has control over, although he'll leave it to Asahina to actually train their dog.

Nostalgia: a kitten, mainly because Sorata is now under Yokozawa's care. Takano might miss having a cat around. I'd imagine them having a Russian Blue or an American Shorthair.

Domestica: Chiaki strikes me as someone who'd like guinea pigs. They're pets that can be cuddled with, but that don't need constant attention. Hatori would be the one taking care of them though.

Erotica: they might have a bird or two, like cockatiels or budgies. They'd constantly chew on Yukina's piercings. Kisa will complain they're too loud, but he secretly adores watching Yukina play with them.

Trifecta: they already have Sorata, but another cat may join the family. I can see them getting a playful little Munchkin. Sorata might get a little jealous if the cat gets too much attention from Hiyori.

I'm not sure about Sentiment. For some reason, Yuu and Ijuuin seem like cat people to me, so maybe they'd get a cat as well.

4, 5, and 6! :) <--- asks good questions because I love you

I ASK YOU NICE QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

“Besides,” his dad continues, “even with Misaki and Mari, we’ll need a grandson from you to carry on the Narumiya name, huh?” "Don't worry about that,” Mei tells him, more even than he feels. “There will be lots of people naming their children after me once I'm the greatest pitcher in Japan.”

Okay, so this is from Disappearance, which is a fic about aromantic anxiety, and honestly--making Mei aroace just blew his character WIDE open for me. He's usually characterized as this very flamboyant, almost happy-go-lucky asshole? But honestly when I was reading Daiya no Ace Act 1, idk, I just kind of felt this simmering, very controlled anger in him. Everything we know about him is through the eyes of a rival character so that probably biases the lens, but he's just so ambitious, and the ONLY time I ever felt any real vulnerability from him was when he was stressed about sucking at baseball.

But anyway. This detail. Part of my Asian American Aromantic Asexual experience was processing the shame of never continuing the family line lmao. And I imagine, as the ONLY son in a family within a patriarchal culture, that guilt is probably amplified, especially if your dad has this weird insistence on passing on the family name. It's a really queer fear, and a really aromantic fear.

So for Mei, part of what fuels his ambition to be the best pitcher in Japan is this sense that: this is the ONLY way I can give my dad what he wants, this is the ONLY way I can give him a legacy to be proud of. It's not his entire ambition, but it's part of it. I have feelings about Narumiya Mei.

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]?

"Hey, what the fuck is up with the fight scene in That One Time That Dink Dinked Up?"

GLAD YOU ASKED.

There's this concept in musicals (I think Howard Ashman coined it?) and I'm paraphrasing horribly, but it's something like: when the characters get too emotional to speak, that's when they burst into song. Anyway, I've been trying to treat fight scenes as songs in musicals. A lot of writing advice regarding fight scenes is about the actual prose itself (which is great, and I definitely need it) but I also think it's important to lay the plot-emotion-etc groundwork for a fight scene.

In the rough draft, Dink and Time had a really horribly melodramatic conversation, and it was just Too Much. So I went back and turned it into a fight scene, which was MUCH better. Dink, internally, is fighting the idea that he's an unloveable piece of villain trash, and for him, Time represents the ideal heroic father figure he doesn't deserve! So he tries to kill him, or be killed by him. And Time is like, "no don't hate urself ur so funny haha".

In this household, we love turning the ideological conflict between two character's viewpoints into a literal conflict between those two characters!

6. What's one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn't get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

LKDJFAKLADJFADS OKAY THIS IS SO SUBTLE AND VERY VERY STUPID, BUT--

I establish in DotF that Sky needs sleep because he gets mean when he's sleep-deprived.

Anyway, the reason why "giving Legend a laxative, spilling ink on his bag, and invading his privacy" is his first and only plan upon hearing of Baby Time's ocarina hunt is that he hasn't been sleeping properly due to having dozens of nightmares about Legend's rotting corpse.

[ridiasfangirlings]

Honestly, I desire more bisexual homra u_u post-rok Anna is getting to lead a more normal life, that includes exploring her identity. Blooming bisexual Anna goes to the 2 biggest bisexuals for advice and comfort: yata and kusanagi.

Asking Kusanagi for advice is never a bad thing, asking Yata…well, she could do worse XD Actually her talking to Yata would probably be helpful since I could see him as someone struggling with his identity whereas Kusanagi might have had less issues, and in any case Yata’s probably only more recently come to terms with his sexuality while Kusanagi is older and wiser. Like I could see Anna talking to Yata initially, say she hasn’t had a steady boyfriend yet but she’s gotten close to a few boys and had crushes and then she’s blindsided when she develops a crush on a girl. On the one hand I don’t think Anna would see anything wrong with that in and of itself (there are too many gay people in Homra for her to be homophobic) but she’s confused because she thought she should like one or the other. She’s a little nervous about the idea of discussing this with Kusanagi, since he’s rather protective when it comes to Anna dating, and she doesn’t know which of the Homra guys to confide in. Then Yata stops by the bar and she decides to ask him, because Misaki is reliable and she probably does have some idea that Yata is similar to her because she remembers him talking to Kusanagi about it. 

Yata I could see being nervous about having this discussion initially, like he assumes she wants the sex talk and he is the absolute last person to give anyone the sex talk, but then he realizes she means sexuality and that Anna’s struggling with the same feelings he did. Once he realizes that I feel like Yata would be her best cheerleader, he’s super supportive and willing to answer any questions she has and to encourage her that she’s not strange, there’s nothing wrong with her, it’s okay to love whoever she wants. He would probably be the one who encourages her to talk to Kusanagi because that’s what Yata did when he was struggling and Yata thinks Kusanagi would really want to help her. 

That evening when everyone’s left the bar Anna goes to talk to Kusanagi and while he does have that knee jerk parental ‘who dares to date my baby girl’ moment once she hears what she’s asking he gets this calm smile as he’s like so you just need some advice huh. He’s happy that she told him and he’s probably the one who gives her the whole talk about stereotypes not being the truth and that she’s not like ‘refusing to pick one or the other’ and she’s not ‘greedy’ or anything stupid like that. He’d also I think be supportive of her not needing to pin down her identity right away, like this is the age kids start thinking about this stuff and you don’t have to be pinned into one box, if you decide later that things are different that’s fine too, right now you just focus on what — and who — makes you happy without worrying too much about labels.

Truth Syrup and Other Homemade Remedies

WHUMPTOBER 2023, DAY 18: “I tend to deflect when I’m feeling threatened.” Blindfold | Tortured For Information | “Hit them harder.”

This fic is an indirect-ish sequel to the previous entry on this Whumptober series, "Noli Me Tangere". It's not necessary to read it to understand this one, but I'd advise doing so just so you get more Nitta content. That's what you're here for, right?

This fic is also me making dolls smooch by taking advantage of the one universal rule of CT: there is no healthcare professional ever, unless the plot asks for one, in which case they will surrender to whatever the fuck the protags are cooking. My fav example of that is in Shin CT when Ishizaki is taken care of by Misugi, because for some reason, there's no adult, so the 15-year-old has to do the job himself! You gotta love the coherence and realism of this manga lmao.

At this point Kumi is just my OC parading as a CT character and, honestly, with how shabby the writing of the female characters is in this manga, I think she deserves to have a personality - and this is one! Homemade is fine too, right? Perhaps even better, since I can toy around with it more. As such, my version of ShunKumi is based on a single Pixiv fanfic series I slapped without fanfare into DeepL (I really need to learn Japanese, oogh) and a lot of my headcanons; and I wouldn't have it any other way. That's how I roll baby.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Truth Syrup and Other Homemade Remedies

Summary: Kumi has a mission and it's to bring a guy who just so happens to be her crush to the infirmary; and no matter what Nitta throws her way, she'll see it to the end.

Fandom: Captain Tsubasa

Word Count: 1.5K words

AO3 version available here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Urabe entrusted her with a very important mission and Kumi intents on seeing it to completion, no matter what. It sounds a little extreme, compared to what the mission is (bringing a player to the infirmary in as short of a time as possible), but it’s absolutely how her pounding heart is feeling about it: nothing short of this being primordial, especially since she doesn’t quite understand why Urabe picked her and not the older managers with more experience and, as a result, patience.

Adding to her confusion is the nature of said mission: it sounds simple on the surface, yet it’s anything but. Bringing a player to the infirmary can be a challenge even when it’s someone as calm as Misaki or as kind as Morisaki, with how impeding an injury or illness can be, but it gets a lot more difficult when it’s someone as stubborn and hard-set as Nitta.

And thus, this is how she’s now finding herself in the middle of a corridor after class, facing a boy a class above her.

“Why did you stop?” She asks him,

“You should go back,” he tells her, voice barely louder than a whisper.

“No! Urabe trusts me to bring you to the infirmary and I will do it!”

He sighs. She shouldn’t find his pout cute, considering it’s mocking her, yet there she is.

“You’re really annoying.”

“You’re one to talk, you’re the one who’s making this difficult!”

“As I said, you don’t hafta do that. You can just go back.”

The lightning speed at which he blinks and the overall soreness she feels when she studies him, as she’s currently doing in case something goes wrong,

“You’re not well, senpai. I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“I dunno why both Urabe and you are like that,” he replies with a cough stuck in his throat. “But wha’ver. If it makes you feel better…”

“Then let’s continue. You’ll feel much better once you can lie down.”

“If you say so,” he shrugs.

Their walk resumes, albeit at a glacial pace, especially compared to what she knows (and admires) about Nitta. He’s usually so fast she barely has the time to see him pass by her, dashing who knows where, almost like a shooting star. She used to hate it, how she couldn’t keep an eye on him as well as she’d do for the others, and he’d brag about it often, but now… Well, it’s part of his charm, she’d say.

She isn’t quite sure why she likes him so much. Nitta is very much not the same as Tsubasa: he’s no born leader with limitless potential, he doesn’t have the skills for a grandiose speech like Tsubasa, and his personality is much closer to that of a feral cat than a bright bird. Maybe she likes feral cats? It’s a weird way to put it, but that’d explain why she actually likes him, come to think of it: this sense of imperfection makes Nitta reachable, unlike Tsubasa.

On the other hand, it means that, when he’s down like that, her concern is only stronger. The urge to help is stronger, thus why she’s now hovering him like a worried mother (or something of the calibre). God, maybe he does hate her. He hates people who look too deep into his things.

When they do finally arrive there, the infirmary is empty, unstaffed, and Kumi sighs. She’s heard of medical personnel often missing when you need them the most, but she’d be lying if she said this massive inconvenience wasn’t prickling her skin right at the wrong moment. After all, Nitta’s already as irritable as they come, they don’t need her to be just as unpleasant to deal with.

She takes a deep breath and –

“You should be able to leave me, now, right?” Nitta tells her as he sits on the examination table.

He’s trying to get rid of her, she’s certain of it. He must hate her.

“Why would I do that?”

“I dunno, you did your job, and it’s boring to stay here, no?”

He shivers, even under the tracksuit jacket Urabe has landed him.

“There’s nobody here, though… I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“You don’t have anything better to do?”

It lacks bite, so it’s not genuine anger nor frustration. That’s the first thing she’s learned about him and, even now, it’s one of her few certainties remaining.

“I’m a manager, my job is to make sure everyone’s fine; so no, I don’t have ‘anything better to do’. I want to help you, senpai, that’s all there is to it.”

He frowns at this, between two coughs.

“I don’t need that shit. You should just leave.”

This is going nowhere, nowhere!

“There’s nobody here, I’m not leaving until I know you’ll be fine!”

“You don’t need to, Sugimoto.”

This is so frustrating!

“Why are you always like that?!” She ends up snapping at him.

His expression softens, all of a sudden.

“Like what?”

“Deflecting what we tell you! You like to pretend like everything’s fine when it’s clearly not and I don’t get why!”

In reaction to this, everything about Nitta changes. Not only is his face softer, through the frowning of pain and reddish hue of his cheeks, his eyes have dulled right as they ducked away from hers. He gets his knees to his chest, suddenly vulnerable to her.

“I tend to deflect when I feel threatened,” he tells her in too cautious of a tone.

This doesn’t make sense…

“How does… me asking how you’re doing is threatening you?”

He looks to the side and bites his lip. He isn’t going to answer. Maybe he doesn’t even have an answer and it’s all a pretence. Or is it? Nothing about his behaviour makes sense.

“Do you have a problem with me?” She asks.

His shoulders rise, his expression turning into a much more familiar disdain. (Or is it?)

“How in the hell did you come up with that as an explanation?”

“You seem so reluctant to talk to me, so I can’t help but wonder! Did I do something wrong? Do you hate me? Why won’t you let me help you?”

“It’s not a you thing. It’s a me thing.”

Kumi steps forward, courage swelling inside her, and Nitta doesn’t try to get further from her. That’s a good sign, right?

“Why are you so reluctant to get help, then?”

“I’m supposed to be independent, but when you ask someone for things, it means you’re still depending on someone, right? And I don’t wanna be that guy.” He clears his throat. “I don’t wanna be weak.”

“Senpai, I… It’s fine to need help, you know?”

“Urabe loves to tell me that, yeah, but it doesn’t change things.”

“You don’t have to be independent all the time. It’s also fine to rely on people at times – in fact, I’d say it’s necessary.”

She’s now right in front of him, close enough to feel how high his fever must be.

“I guess you’re right, it’s just… embarrassing to admit.”

His head lulls on his shoulder, so in a moment of pure instinct, she goes to cup his cheek. To her soft-spoken surprise, he doesn’t even try pulling away, instead leaning into it. Is this due to fatigue or could it be…? No, it can’t be. The fever explains too much for her little fantasy to take root.

“Touching your senpai without authorization, huh…?”

Kumi doesn’t move her hand, even now.

“What’s your birthday, actually, Sugimoto?”

“April fourteenth.”

“Oh, so you’re like a month younger than I am,” he replies with a mellow voice. “Why call me senpai then?”

“Because you’re still a grade above mine.”

He puts his hand over hers, his gaze locked with hers. Her heart’s beating way too fast.

“That’s not very important now, is it…?” He tells her with a smile. “Y’know, actually, I prefer it with you here…”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really… so, like, if you don’t mind… maybe you could stay here until that nurse comes back or something?”

“Oh, of course, no problem!”

He’s practically falling asleep in her arms, but playing guardian angel sounds like a good thing, as long as it’s for him; so she lets worry and relief mix until the door opens again.

As typical of Nitta, he has one last surprise in his pocket, and it’s the one to take her out.

“Hey, Sugimoto?”

“Yeah?”

“You’re over Tsubasa, right?”

“Oh, yeah, I’ve been for some time. Why?”

“Just askin’.” He snickers. “Who am I kidding? I’m asking that for myself.”

“You mean…?”

Her heart is pulsing inside her throat and throughout her entire body.

“I think I like you.”

“I… like you too.”

He gives her the softest smile she’s ever seen from him; only for him to fall asleep right after that.

TMNT ships and shipkids? >:3

oooo boy ima assume you mean from my friend and I's story and not canon cuz I have no canon ships- none that I can think of, at least.

thank you for asking as always Meelu, I'm enjoying this excuse to ramble and explain so I can post art later on!

Adelaide and Donatello

Raphael and Maisie

Lucas and Leo

Yuki and Mikey

the ship kids I made have plenty pictures but I won't include them here cuz i dont think it would be fair to the others. they dont have pictures yet for... a reason that I'm sure you'll understand.

(color coded so its not confusing, and oldest to youngest)

Adamo and Bambinali

Nick, Koda, and Sakari

June Rei

Misaki, Teddy, Wakatoshi, Thea, Fuyumi, Sebastian, and Saemi

It's a running joke that Mikey, even though he was the youngest, was the first to be married, the first to give Splinter a grandchild, and has the most kids.

Here's a lil run down on all of them and their personality:

Adamo: Very shy and timid. He's a biology and writing nut. Mama's boy and hes proud. Gets dragged along on adventures by his sister.

Bambinali: Rowdy and loud. Extroverted out the wazoo. She also has issues getting out her emotions and takes care of it with boxing.

Nick: Very angy boy. He will throw down. Kinda standoffish with new people but he opens up and runs you wild once you get to know him.

Koda: Baby! Baby Koda! Sweet quiet turtle boy. He loves his parents and siblings very very much and would do anything for them. Overall just very kind and loving.

Sakari: She's like a tame version of Leo. Sarcastic and witty but also prefers to sit on the sidelines while her cousins get into trouble. But she will thrown down with Nick whenever he gets on her nerves.

June Rei: OOOO Very puffy lil ferret bab. Has trouble calming down and seems to have infinite energy. Rough and tumble lil princess.

Misaki: Staple eldest sister. She's very athletic. Also enjoys helping her parents out so they don't go insane. Responsible and Intimidating (to her younger siblings).

Teddy: Chill older brother. Literally does not care. He will totally help his little sisters put Sebastian on the ceiling for fun. Tried to get Thea to grow weed once.

Wakatoshi: Boho style. Loving and gives the BEST hugs. Takes after his dad in the artist department. Wears a bunch of beaded jewelry.

Thea: Reads a crap ton of books. Botanist; loves her plants to death. She is very sassy and takes fashion tips from her mom. Will terminate her siblings if they mess with her babies (House plants).

Fuyumi: Emo. Wears LOTS of black clothing and jewelry. Protective of her siblings and will beat people up if they mess with her family.

Sebastian: Grunge lil boy. He gives off a very off-putting vibe but is secretly super gentle fr. still acts tough tho, dont doubt it.

Saemi: The youngest cutie patootie. Everyone babys her to no end. She is skiddish and will hide in her shell at the slightest scare. Mikey usually cradles her to coax her back out. if that doesn't work, he brings out a funny persona to make her laugh.

@ilike2drawstuff

^ Leo and Mikey's kids and significant others are their ocs, btw. I'm showing them off bc their characters are magnificent- THANK YOU for letting me talk abt ur wee babes.

My Review of Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro: 2nd Attack

First season review here.

Like a moth to a flame, I return to something that I know isn’t good for me to watch. I’ve made my point very clear about how I felt watching the first couple of episodes of Miss Nagatoro two years ago. But I also felt like there was a massive change within the characters since then. I don’t know, maybe I’ve succumbed to this weird Stockholm Syndrome I’m witnessing.

HISTORY: Naoto Hachiouji is a timid boy. This will be the one and only time you will see his real name. Everyone calls him “Senpai” so I shall do so in this review. Senpai doesn’t like confrontations or hanging out with anybody. You’ll usually find him in the art room or library working on his drawings. His quiet world is shattered one afternoon when he finds four loud girls sitting in the library. One incident of Senpai dropping his drawings sparks interest in one of the four girls. Hayase Nagatoro has an immediate fascination with her quiet and shy senpai.

Now when I say “fascination”, I mean Nagatoro teases the ever-loving crap out of this boy every chance she gets. It’s usually customary for an underclassman to respect their senpai. But all of that is thrown out the window with this anime. You can say this is just Uzaki-chan in a high school setting and the main heroine doesn’t have a big rack. Also, Nagatoro is just fucking brutal. Senpai was reduced to tears by the end of episode 1 this bullying was that bad!

SECOND ATTACK: I guess we’re right back to the tail-end of the culture festival and it’s primarily the same thing.

Senpai breathes. Nagatoro attacks. Pervy! Creepy! Hahaha! Something absurd happens that could be taken the wrong way. Jealousy. More laughing at this boy.

…Yeah, that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s the same thing as last season. I mean, yeah, there are several changes here. We see a more vulnerable Nagatoro at times. Senpai switched up his appearance a bit by changing to contact lenses. And at least this season doesn’t consist of Senpai being bullied to the point of tears like last time. Though the awkwardness is up 1000% here.

LICENSING: Crunchyroll still has a hold on this anime and as expected, they released their usual number of dubs in the weeks following the premier. And of course, we got the return of the English cast from the other year with Kimberly Anne Campbell and Erik Kimerer.

NEW CHARACTERS INTRODUCED: I mean, there were a few here and there so I guess they deserve a nod.

Let’s start with Nagatoro’s sister, Misaki. She’s a Nagatoro all right, she’s a teaser just like her baby sister. And yes, she sees that her sister like Senpai.

Speaking of relations, remember the art president from last season with the curvy body? Now that Sana’s graduating, her little cousin Hana is now enrolled in the school and keeping Senpai company in the art room.

JAPANESE CAST: *Misaki is played by Yoshino Nanjou (known for Eli on Love Live, Awatsuki on Railgun, Aiko on Baka & Test, and Sonia on Berserk 2016)

*Hana is played by Sayumi Suzushiro (known for Kei on Kaguya-sama and Kurena on 86)

ENGLISH CAST: *Misaki is played by Vivian Lu

*Hana is played by Xanthe Huyhn (known for Menma on Anohana, Hanyuu on Higurashi Gou, Platelets on Cells at Work, Takina on Lycoris Recoil, Haru on Persona 5, Hanayo on Love Live, and Hidomi on FLCL: Progressive)

RANDOM NOTE: Art president is still at it. Seriously, how the hell can she run that fast in heels and in that bunny-girl costume without spraining an ankle, have a nip-slip, tearing fabric, or working up a sweat? I’m convinced this bitch ain’t human!

SHIPPING THE SECOND ATTACK: What do you mean Senpai doesn’t know Nagatoro’s first name? That’s like first episode knowledge! To be fair, the most Senpai has to go on is what her friends call her “Hayacchi”. But in anime romcoms, one of the biggest moments would be for one of the characters to call the other character by their first name. We went through a lot of that shit in the second season of Uzaki-chan. Every so often, we do get genuine moments between Senpai and Nagatoro like when Senpai stuck up for Nagatoro or when Senpai asked Nagatoro’s first name. Besides that, it’s the usual Nagatoro acting all tsundere when someone asks if she likes Senpai, but will flip if she sees Senpai with another girl.

Anything else to go on?

Um…how about these two going on a date? More details below.

ENDING: This has been a pretty productive season. Not when it comes to admitting one likes the other or something like that. Hell no! Character growth, I meant. Nagatoro showed a lot of growth when it came to practicing judo again. I was aware of this arc going into this season and it was nice to see this other side to Nagatoro besides the teasing and taunting. As for Senpai…he started wearing contact lenses and it stuck around.

During the judo competition, Nagatoro baited Senpai with a kiss. If he wins a competition, she’ll reward Senpai with a kiss. Did he win a competition? Hell no, Senpai wound up flat on his back in his first match. But then Nagatoro asked Senpai the next time she wins to promise her a kiss. Yeah, could you be any more obvious here? We all know both of you like each other. But we gotta get the minor cast of characters to nudge them into going on a date. Hana Sunomiya (the younger cousin of the art president) especially nudges Senpai to ask Nagatoro on a date. After a lot of back-and-forth between the two and their terrible ideas for dates. Seriously, who the hell would ever suggest going to a dog fight for a date? Senpai, the fuck is wrong with you?!

Thankfully, we get a more romantic scene after that stupidity (music and all) where Senpai runs to Nagatoro to formally ask her out on a date to the aquarium. The two of them felt really good during this moment. The next day, their minds were pretty much pudding and that left their friends thinking they have to interfere. Sana and little cousin Hana are going to prevent anyone from messing with their date. Meanwhile, Nagatoro’s friends Gamou and Yoshi jumped to every wrong conclusion by thinking Nagatoro is going to take away Senpai’s virginity.

Where would they get a stupid idea like that? Oh, I don’t know. How about any time anyone here mentions Senpai’s virginity and dirty stuff like that?! I forgot how immature high schoolers are.

The date at the aquarium went…well, how would you expect a date (or mock-date) to go in this anime? Nagatoro’s going to keep calling Senpai creepy. Nagatoro’s going to be critical about this trip with Senpai. Senpai is going to do that gesture that now looks weird after wearing contact lenses. To be fair, he’s been doing it since putting the contact lenses in. It’s still weird. Nagatoro is going to get jealous and threatened being surrounded by all the other couples at the aquarium. Senpai is going to be oblivious to what Nagatoro really wants. And Senpai is going to have one chivalrous moment. Everything I said here is exactly what happened and doesn’t need to go any further.

Nagatoro seemed to have had a fun time on today’s date. Even though she gave it a score of 50 out of 1000 points, she had fun. And we end with a hug…No, not really. Because they were interrupted by Nagatoro’s friends and the Sunomiya cousins. In short, that moment was ruined. Nagatoro was pretty steamed with her friends and Hana felt guilty. But all was forgiven eventually. They got to hug eventually. That’s how they ended the season at least.

Okay, I’m feeling much better about this than I did when I first started watching this anime. I let some time pass since watching those episodes where Nagatoro made Senpai cry and let the actions of this season swirl around my head a bit. There’s not a lot I can say to sway people to watching this as teasing chicks and wimpy boys can sometimes be a trigger point for some people. Like I said last time, if you were a fan of Uzaki-chan, this is probably another one to check out. They’re both very similar in story.

After watching both Uzaki and Nagatoro’s second seasons this past year, I’ve come to the conclusion that Nagatoro and Senpai are ahead in the romance department. Yeah, I feel like Uzaki and Sakurai have gone like several steps backwards compared to these two. But I feel that’ll be more of a discussion for a different day and review. Possibly if either one of these guys gets a third season. I feel like things might get a little interesting in the future as Senpai is a third-year in high school and that means he has his whole future ahead of him to plan. But again, if and when that happens, I’m interested to see what plays out between him and Nagatoro.

Okay, that’s it from me. If you want to watch Nagatoro, Crunchyroll has both seasons available. While you’re there, if you want to check out Uzaki-chan too, it’s there as well.

[7ban-sama]

Heyy ;) JSHK is heartbreaking isn’t it? As for me I cried 4 times over the manga (which is a miracle because I NEVER CRY THAT MUCH IN A SERIES), sooo have you cried over some chapters?

Oh I've cried soo many times for this series, it's kind of hard to count. Though I can't say it's a rare or uncommon thing for me... I'm honestly quick to cry over the littlest things. 9.9; So it's not surprising for me, that I've cried multiple times. I get choked up easily too... ah, I'm very emotional, and just tend to respond to 'emotional cues' easily. If the movie is playing sad music, and wants me to be sad, I will be sad... I can't really resist that.

But while it's not hard to get me to cry, I will say that JSHK is unique in that, I think it makes me feel a very deep sense of agony... Since making me cry is very easy to do, I don't think of it as an actual testament to whether or not the scene was good, or well written, and I can shake it off and just move on easily enough. It's different when the sadness feels like it sinks into my bones... makes me writhe and twist... And ah, sometimes it just flat out stings more, instead of just making me weepy — hurting my jaw, throat, palms...

I'll list some specific chapters... I think I'll also break it up between things that made me cry on first read vs. rereads.

yosh... ikimashou!

FIRST READ

Vol 1 / Ch 1: Hanako-san of the Bathroom

This is actually more of an 'honorable mention', since I wasn't full blown weeping or anything. But I had a lump in my throat and got wet-eyed over it, which feels notable, just starting off.

I remember being really surprised that we get into Nene's head like this... I wasn't expecting it-? It feels very brutal, honestly, to watch her reflect on her shallowness like this. Having to realize this 'crush' was more of a self-serving fantasy, than anything, and she wasn't really thinking about who Teru was as a person... This is a foible I think many people go through, more than they're willing to admit. More than they can even recognize...? So it was pretty surprising to see it laid out like this, at the start of the manga. A premonition of what was to come... (this manga surprising me again and again!)

Vol 2 / Ch 7: The Misaki Stairs (Part 4)

Now this... is a testament to how 'contained' a narrative can be, yet how much I can be enveloped in the feelings of it. I think Yako isn't a very central character, and I don't especially favor her or anything, but I like her introduction. I like her circumstance...

The childish writing of young Yako, who seems very new to the world, and unused to deep interaction with humans. I honestly love this sort of 'interspecies' relationship... along with age gap (lol) ; it provides a contrast I enjoy. I like that Yako is being taught how to read and write by Misaki... simply tasteful. Praise to Iro-sensei.

I feel my heart sink, alongside Nene's, once we get to these entries...

And by the time we get to the yorishiro memory itself, I can't help crying. I cry a little almost every time I really immerse into reading these chapters... The Yako who is hunched over, saying, I want Misaki to yell at me again really gives me chills... I understand what she is feeling here. Wanting your love back at all costs... ahhh. :'I

Vol 4 / Ch 4: The Little Mermaid (Part 2)

a small, choked up feeling, a small cry. but a cry nonetheless... the visual of their pinkie promise gets to me. Nene's sparkly eyes... for this whole scene, her horns are droopy because of being wet, and it gives her an innocent quality. like a dumbo rat... baby girl

Vol 12 / Ch 58: The End of a Dream (Part 3)

the closing chapter of the PP arc... an arc lasting several volumes, sending one through a roller-coaster of emotions-!! my first read of PP made my heart race, doki doki. I was actually mostly psyched up by it, very excited by the events. Not so weepy. Buut, it's only appropriate that the closing chapter is what gets to me.

this panel honestly shakes me to my core. knowing that Tsukasa is metaphorically the moon... and that Nene is the one saying this... something about it feels like an omen. I think it's a good omen, and yet, it frightens me deeply anyways. I feel like I have great reason to be afraid lol... like, oh, god, the moon IS closer than it's ever been, isn't it... (dread)

ugh, trying to not post every panel from this scene... but Nene is so pristine and angelic and well meaning in this all. her end of it is SO SINCERE... up here, in the clouds together, whirling all about... declaring her dreams... sigh. It's not fair it's like this all loads into a gun to hurt her for the Severance...

(I feel like it's around here that I really am falling for her, as a character... *sigh* *touches screen...*)

Vol 17 / Ch 81: The Red House (Part 6)

I'm sure this isn't a surprise by now, but, yeah... this one really tore me apart. by this point, my feefees for Tsukasa had incubated long enough that it was really devastating to learn so much about his child psyche. (it's getting so real for my crushes on the girlies by now.)

it's devastating that Tsukasa is capable of feeling this. meanwhile, earlier... this scene.

it always hurts to get to the confrontation... it never stops hurting. it'll hurt forever, I'm sure.

I've also struggled with chronic illness and disability as well. so... ah, I understand what Amane is going through here, profoundly. At your gd limit... just, can't keep doing this... yeah

would you believe that my wife would lick my tears, early in our relationship...? I was once a very miserable, depressed, lonely person. I used to think no one would ever love me, and that I cried so often it was annoying. At times, when overwhelmed by our early interactions (they were so amazing, and I felt so lowly and undeserving) I would just break down. she'd just kiss and lick my tears and eyes...

In general I just have a lot of personal reasons to be sentimental about the gestures / dialogue throughout this chapter.

a panel for the ages... cementing Tsukasa's role as an angelic, wish-granter. I LOVE YOU BAYBEEEE-!! love you forever.

Vol 18 / Ch 89: Oni (Part 2)

Now, let it be known... I love.... LOVE-!! Everything about Hakubo and Sumire's story... I feel so much for each of them, their circumstance, it's soo painful! I pretty much always feel the 'drop' as I read these chapters, but this is the one that got me upon first seeing it.

it's the helplessness of Hakubo... the way he just doesn't know what to do, the way his inhumane treatment by humans has made him never consider that he can love, the way he can't make decisions on his own. He wishes to be commanded... it's all he knows. Why won't she just tell me to save her...?

The way he describes not feeling anger, sadness, or hatred / alongside the panels of him getting hunted down by humans… Only left with the sense of regret that he should have done something for her, that night. Ahh... it's incredibly beautiful and painful... thank you AidaIro for this perfect blend of beautiful visuals and painful prose </3...

Vol 20 / Ch 101: Omen (Part 1)

For our final entry in this category, it's a record breaker. the mere sight of this living Tsukasa made tears well up in my eyes.

it's too much for me… this specific age of Tsukasa, in canon, has been so elusive and rare. We've only had a peek at him through a Hell of Mirrors illust. and that is still his corpse... the LIVING, breathing, pre-shinjuu boy, is divine to be met with. I really couldn't believe we could see him now.

now that I know he is singing 'Over the Rainbow', there's no saving meeee...

REREADS

Vol 2 / Ch 8: The Confession Tree

ok. this is one of those things where, I know I'm not gonna make a lot of sense as I explain... since this is a raw, kinnie-brain thing, but my disclaimer is that i'm self aware about how unreasonable this is-!! ok.

when I first read through this chapter, I was still in my 'getting to know her' phase, with Nene... thus, I was endeared by her romantic heart, but wasn't (for lack of a better term) in love with her. I think I experienced this chapter more like 'an audience member'.

after coming to terms with Being Amane... this chapter is very difficult for me. It's gone from me feeling like an audience member, to feeling like an active participant — like, responsible for hurting her.

I failed such an innocent girlie. it is hard to cope with. sometimes I feel like she should never forgive me for this...

metatextually, it's like, when I was first reading this manga, I didn't think I would care so much about her / much like, I think Amane is not aware at all how much he is going to be heaving and crying over his feelings for Nene, so many volumes later... We don't know how special this girl is, yet.

I've cried over this scene and have fallen into a terrible depression for like, weeks, over it, LOL.. these things, you just have to take my word for it, that it's part of being Amane. It's hard to forgive your own carelessness.

Vol 9 / Ch 45: Picture Perfect (Part 5)

oooh. what can be said... it both makes me emotional that Tsukasa looks so lovely here / and that Tsukasa is allowed to have full page spreads, as the focal point...

having just dropped the telescope. stiff-legged, shirt billowing... she is a captivating specimen.

dazzling... gorgeous... and so earnestly experiencing the pretty sky, the shooting stars — eagerly turning to amane to announce this! ahh... that after all these years, tsukasa can have a moment like this with amane... hurts me so.

Vol 10 / Ch 50: Picture Perfect (Part 10)

my first reads of PP felt thrilling... I was so excited to see how far this manga could go. and for an arc to last so long, it was very captivating. I suppose though, this is another one of those things that has steadily weighed heavier on me as I connected more and more with Amane.

The expression here... it's the weight of everything coming crashing down on him, in real time, I think. Again, he was not... prepared for how much Nene was going to mean to him. He's spent so long not caring about who lives, dies. He's becoming unraveled by this all...

and this framing of Nene... it twists a knife in my heart. combined with how it echoes the way Amane is starstruck from Tsukasa in the earlier chapter... sighhhh!

Vol 11 / Ch 51: Perfect Empty Ideals

It just hurts so mmmbad-!!! man I can't be deep about it all, this just makes me SAD-!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GIRL!!! SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Vol 14 / Ch 66: Sumire (Part 1)

After learning everything about Hakubo and Sumire's lives, this vignette is very heart-wrenching. This is the cave they took refuge from the rain, once, that their final moments are then in.

Such a beautiful ship... such beautiful drawings... again thank you AidaIro-sensei...

Vol 16 / Ch 78: The Red House (Part 3)

This chapter was of course VERY PAINFUL!! when I first read it, but I think by now it's settled into my gut heavier than ever before. And basically all of the Red House arc scenes related to the Yugi rend me apart... I can't push the image limit any more in this post though, so I'll just represent it with this. But just know all of it makes me roll around in my grave...

What could Tsukasa have felt in this moment, learning about Amane's imminent death... Knowing how much Tsukasa loves Amane, I think a future without him was just pointless. I get the impression he was spending all his time running off and procuring Amane presents, now that Amane has become too sick to play with him.

Sometimes I'm in such awe, still, that we learned Tsukasa would come to Amane's bedside and provide him little gifts. As much as his little 3 year old self was capable of... and, he's capable of feeling lowly/worthless, and like Amane hates him… urgh-!! *commits seppuku*

Anyways I hope this list... well, conveys that I'm emotional and unstable LOL... (nah, but really, I hope it was interesting!) Here's to more crying over this manga, again and again!
