#anyway sakura is autistic because i say so

[dykedivorce]

if any other bitch in konoha had been gay apart from sasuke none of this would have happened to my son naruto.

[shinobusupremecy]

Hi :3

Saw you're requests were open and that you added genshin to your thing, so I'm going against my better judgement rn.

(Oneshot) Yae Miko x gn autistic reader that takes everything at face value (like me), um angst because reader doesn't understand that miko is just teasing and they think she's actually annoyed 💀 anyways, obviously angst, but they talk it through with each other and she maybe realises her teasing isn't always a good idea.

Idk, I find the idea of miko being like "Oh shit, I fucked up" funny.

Yae Miko x gn!Reader

A/n: Now that you say it that reaction from Yae Miko would be hilarious! Thank you for requesting, you have the honour of being the first to request genshin and the first to request the one and only Yae Miko no less!

You can interpret this as platonic or romantic. It is a bit hard to tell in this fic I apologize😅

Word count: 1621

People in Inazuma city parted ways like the sea of moses from the way you ran, half putting on your shrine maiden clothes. You apologized when you nearly ran into people.

You had finally reached the foot of the mountain and you began running through the thousand red gates. The sun shined mercilessly down on you and you felt yourself beginning to sweat. You wanted to rest and just walk up but you were about to be late.

Running as you went you saw the floating rocks with the electrogana on it. If only you had an electro vision things would have been easier. Looking up the mountain again you saw you had a long way to go.

’Ahhh, all this hassle because I overslept!’ You internally cried.

After what felt like forever you finally reached the Narukami shrine. You went through the toji gate and bowed out of respect before going in.

The pink fox lady stood by the fox shaped sakura tree with her back turned. Her ear twitched and she let out a low hum.

”You know you really shouldn’t be late on your first day here. It is quite rude and makes for awful first impressions”

”I am sorry lady Yae Miko, you’re right. I shall do better!” You bowed to apologize. This was your first day working at the shrine as a shrine maiden. Yae Miko’s work quite frankly fascinated you so you wanted to work with her. Plus working with her meant some nice quality time for you two.

You saw two fingers snap right in front of you and you snapped out of your daydreaming.

“Honestly don’t go zoning out when I am about to give instructions. You really are out of it today”

“Yes yes, sorry about that”

”Ah well. The first thing to do is make sure the shrine is nice and tidy” Your eyes wandered around the shrine in search of something amiss before you heard an exasperated sigh.

”I meant look around the place. Go on, walk around” Yae sounded annoyed and with that you looked away a little ashamed before doing so.

You did find that some of the floorboards were dusty and since foxes roamed around there were a few things…littered.

”One must make sure the shrine is all nice and tidy before the people come. No one wants to pray with the smell of animal feces around do they or get their socks all dusty and slip” You nodded and then stood there…not knowing where the cleaning supplies are.

“Well? Get a move on” You jumped a little and turned to her.

“I don’t know where the cleaning supplies are”

Yae sighed again before smiling.

“If you used your two eyes your mother graced you with you would see it says ‘cleaning supplies’ over there” Yae pointed. Your cheeks grew a bit more red out of embarrassment.

‘This is so embarrassing? Does she treat every shrine maiden this way?’ You glanced at Yae who still looked at you. ’Is she annoyed with me?’

Taking the cleaning supplies you began to sweep the floorboards and clean up from the foxes.

”See? That wasn’t so hard? Only took you 10 minutes to understand everything and do what I say”

”That long!?” You yelled out in shock. No way it has already gone 10 minutes

”Yes that long. Is something wrong with you today? You’re usually not this slow” All these jabs you were getting started to really get on your nerves.

’Maybe she really is annoyed with me’ Your heart began sinking.

”It’s my first day working Yae, you know that” You countered earning a sigh from Yae.

”Mhmm I know but still, things like understanding a simple instruction like cleaning shouldn’t take that long” You nodded at her words.

“Hmf” Yae finished off and your heart began to sank a bit further.

‘What's up with her today? All of these remarks is starting to hurt' You thought before shaking your head. 'It will be better next time’

-

Next time came, again and again. No really big improvement on either part. You accidentally messed up a ritual and said the wrong words.

“...Walk forth and purify which is im-impure?” You said the wrong word and the stutter messed the whole ritual up leading to a annoyed sigh from Yae.

“We have gone over it a thousand times and you still don’t remember? The word is 'come' forth” You felt like she was jabbing at your heart or her words did.

Jab there, jab here.

“That’s not a way to sweep the floorboards, if anything you are just spreading the dust around” One jab.

“Why is your back so bent, posture straight or you’ll look like the shrimp I ate for lunch” Another jab.

You began fearing that you were more of a burden tothe shrine than helping. All these jabs from Yae Miko can’t be a mistake, she must be really annoyed. Not to mention she doesn’t do that with any other of the shrine maidens.

‘Fine! If she thinks I am a burden to the shrine then I won’t be coming’ Hurt, you came to that conclusion and stayed home.

-

Yae was waiting for you at the shrine. She tapped her foot on the floorboard impatiently before clicking her tongue.

’They must be late or something’ She concluded and went on her roundly checkup to see that everything on the shrine looks alright.

She had waited a while and you still haven't come, much to Yae’s annoyance. If you are sick just tell her. She looked down on the steep mountain however. Okay maybe not.

Eitherway you will probably come tomorrow.

Tomorrow came and you didn’t show up. Yae assumed you were sick and went on about her day.

When a week had gone by Yae didn’t really suspect anything. You could be sick, and from what she has learned humans can be sick for a week sometimes so that is what she assumed happened to you.

However when you didn’t come after that week she became really suspicious.

‘They had better not quit before telling me’ She thought bitterly. Enough was enough she decided and strode down the mountain to get to your house.

-

You were sitting on the couch of your home wondering if you should try to go to work again. You really wanted to, the job was cool, you loved Yae but what’s the point when she just seems annoyed by every single thing that you did?

Before you could think of finding her she found you first and knocked on your door. You got up and opened it to a menacing smiling Yae and a shiver ran up your spine.

“Well you look fine and dainty as ever. Care to tell me why you have been skipping work?” Yae asked and you inwardly sighed.

“I’m sorry it’s uh, complicated”

“It is nothing that I, Lady Yae Miko, can't understand. I have lived for several of hundred years and encountered many humans, I practically know you humans down to the bone. Now tell me, why have you been skipping work?”

“It’s just…I do like working at the shrine…but” You started slowly and Yae Miko stood there waiting.

“But?”

“I just feel like you are annoyed with me…you say these things” One of Yae Miko’s eyebrow rose and she let out a low questioning hum.

“I wanna work but every little thing I do is wrong. You say it all the time, either my posture isn’t right, I sweep the broom wrong, I’m slow for not knowing where the cleaning supplies are even though it is my first day”

“You…” Yae Miko began but you interrupted her

"I get that if I'm doing something wrong you should tell but the way you say it is really hurtful and minor things like not knowing where the cleaning supplies are on my first day is really...you know?" You nervously vented out in hopes of understanding.

Before Yae made you work she made it very clear to always tell her if something is wrong or if there is something you don't like. Communication is key and she lives strongly by that.

Yae lets out a heavy sigh.

“I see, so that’s what this has been about” You looked up to see Yae who to your surprised look troubled.

“I did say those things yes but I was merely teasing, I didn’t think you would take my words to heart”

“Just a ‘just kidding’ would be fine” You replied a bit sourly.

Yae scratched her head, her brows furrowing as she looked like she really was thinking hard. This was a new side to her you never thought you would see.

”I see now. I am…sorry I didn’t make it clear I was merely teasing. The things I said were far from the truth, I don’t think any of those things. You are hardworking and I see that you try” You stood there taking in Yae’s words. You felt relieved and your heart beated a bit faster.

”I will stop my teasing if it makes you that upset but please come back to the shrine. The mornings without you on the shrine is a lonely one for me” You looked at Yae and giggled. Seeing this side of her was interesting and fun, you couldn’t help but giggle a little.

”Sure, I’d like that” you replied and closed the door behind you.

”Perfect. Come now, I have a lot of new novels I have read the past few days while you were gone that I need to tell you about and when we reach the shrine you will get tea, you have been more than deserving for that”

BARKBARK I LOVE TRANS HCS im not trans myself but when i see how happy they make my trans friends & my partner???? TOSSES THEM AROUND LIKE CANDY u get a trans hc! u get a trans hc! WE ALL GET TRANS HCS

also may i say. adhd/autistic phantoms ? good shit

also ur mention of how trans goro is more common than trans akiren makes me wanna pop off about infantilization in fandoms and how it ties into misogyny, trans-misogyny and nsfw content and its characterizations and just fjbvkfnb. im a social sciences major and i LOVE discussing infantilization in the context of sex and gender and disability i love that shit. anyway idk where i was going with this but tldr i love ur characterization of goro <3

OHHHHH ANON YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU JUST STARTED.....

prefacing this by saying: i have adhd. although i haven't been able to be properly diagnosed (with the things hooked up to my head etc etc) thanks to america's stunning healthcare, i am like.. 99.999999% sure i have it. my therapist, who i used to see regularly, agrees that i probably have it.

NOW. i'm sure we all know that futaba sakura our favorite gremlin girl ever exhibits some clear symptoms of autism. i don't need to get into it because there's a million and one analyses out there about her behavior, but i will say that i both love/hate how atlus depicted her. on one hand i love that the group just.. accepts her for who she is, i love that they don't try to change her, i love that they don't fall into the "ooh you're so smart though so your disability MUST be a superpower!" trap, and that they mold around her to suit her, and not the other way around.

THAT BEING SAID.....

i have SUCH a bone to pick with how they decided to go about her 'healing' arc. the phantom thieves give her a week--a WEEK--to readjust to society. and yeah i guess that while you could argue that she's just had her trauma supernaturally lobotomized out of her, it doesn't change the fact that she's... still gone through it, you know? just because she learned to stop hating herself for things out of her control doesn't mean her social anxiety disappears in a snap. she turns out alright by the end but the extremely pushy nature of the thieves to get her out of her shell ALWAYS rubbed me wrong. taking things slow and one step at a time is wonderful, and i'm glad they decided to go about that approach instead of just throwing her to the beach like they originally wanted, but they still should have taken it... slower. one week is HARDLY enough.

also, i fucking hate how they constantly talk about her while she's in the same room as them, as if she can't hear what they're saying. they said things like, "oh she's pretty normal, huh" and "she can hold a conversation just fine!" and while their behavior isn't one completely out of the ordinary for dumb teenagers to exhibit, it still really, really pisses me off that they do it wiht her in the SAME ROOM. im sure it wasn't meant to come off this way, but i always got the feeling that they attributed her 'quirkiness' to her not understanding how groups worked at all, which is why they were so open about discussing HER MENTAL HEALTH without including her in the conversation.

okay i'm done with futaba--quick hcs im throwing out there: ryuji has adhd, yusuke also has autism, mishima has autism, goro has ocd. boom bam bop, you've been hit by the 'tism beam.

PLEASE DO POP OFF ABOUT THE INFANTILISM it's honestly such a gross sight.... the amount of times ive seen goro depicted as some small, feminine twink is genuinely staggering, and it's always left such a bad taste in my mouth because i KNOW it's because his character, at least for the majority of the plot, is polite and soft spoken.

not to mention how incredibly fetishizing it feels. i won't get too into it, but the amount of shuakeshu ive seen where one is drawn/written as larger than life/confident/suave and the other is meek/skinny/easily embarrassed? ohhh my god. please. akiren isn't some smooth jerk who makes goro blush with a well-placed quip, and goro isn't a crazed yandere who shuts akiren away from the rest of the world. they're both fucking losers who don't know how to process their feelings for the other because of their very, very embarrassing rivalry. stop degrading one to fit your perfect mlm narrative.

sigh i didn't mean for this to become a social commentary or anything, but .. lo and behold... here we are. i'd love to hear your thoughts on my takes, anon, and i'd love to hear the thoughts for anyone who read thru this too! while i do have adhd/am trans i can't speak for those who fall under the autism spectrum or for cis gay men, so if you'd like to correct me in my thinking PLEASE go ahead and do so, i'd love to be educated on topics i don't fully understand. have a good one <3

Wonder instantly fizzled. His mind went blank, and he couldn’t think of words to say. Guilt and panic filled him.

What the heck did he do?!? He knew Ebony was Autistic, he had aspburgers! Or whatever they called it this week! He could only handle his family because they were family! Wait, was he supposed to go here ALONE?!? But he didn’t like social events alone! But he loved all his mates! How could he pick one? Well, Marble might veto due to god stuff anyway, but!!! Rose and Acryoa?!? He loved them both, what was… WHAT ABOUT HIS KIDS?!? Sakura wanted a wedding forever! She loved romance stuff! Izuku just wanted to meet more kids his age! But it was overload overload…

Realizing his husband was in full-on panic, Acryoa quickly zipped over. He said, “MASTER.”

With that hated term, Wonder jolted out of it. “I told you…”

“Go to Rose and Blood. Let me talk to Mister Jin.”

Wonder said, “But I messed up! Badly!!!”

Acryoa said softly, “You meant no harm. Go to Rose…”

Sakura started to cry. She thought it was HER fault Ebony ran. Lightwraiths were a feared species on her world, due to their warrior-like nature, so she had scared off many despite being a sweet lil’ thing.

Wonder ran off, quickly working to calm his baby girl and assure her it was all right. While the family calmed Sakura down, Acryoa returned to Qui-Gon. “I apologize. I do not know if you realize, but Wonder has what you call…”

He did a search on his tablet. “Neurodivergence. He is a bit milder than what you’re probably used to seeing, but certain situations can cause a shutdown. Please, tell me what you just told him.”

A Jedi Wedding!

It was the morning of the Wedding between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mason. Obi-Wan was getting his hair done by the hairstylist he had hired. Obi-Wan had grown his hair out into a mullet for the wedding, so it was a little on the longer side.

He and Mace had sent out the invitations a few months prior and today was the big day. Obi-Wan had picked his daughter, Ebony, to be the flower girl and Luke to be the ring bearer. Anakin was picked to be his best man. And it had been decided that Qui-Gon would walk Obi-Wan down the isle up to Mace when the time came.

Qui-Gon stood out in the lobby of the building the wedding was taking place at. It was a convention center, a really nice big one. They would be having the wedding and reception there.

Qui-Gon gazed around at all the decorations and smiled softly. He was really excited for the wedding. After a moment, however, he pulled out a photo of Obi-Wan as a young Padawan and gazed down at it sadly. He sniffled and wiped the tears from his eyes. That evening he would be giving away his son. And while he was really happy for Obi-Wan and Mason, he was also really sad.

“Heh…seems like it was only yesterday that I had just taken you on as my Padawan, Obi-Wan.” Qui-Gon said to himself as more tears pricked his eyes. “And now look at you. Y-You’re all grown up and getting married.”

♦♥☮☯▼☆☠♡ൠ sakura

whhooo sorry for taking like hh a week to answer this ;; this is long so it’s going under a read more qwq 

♦ -quirks/hobbies headcanon: saku got big into sewing!!! she likes to make little scarves and things to destress and sometimes she’ll just… forget to stop?? someone (usually ino) will check on her because she’s been gone for a day or so, and her floor’ll just be absolutely covered is different fabrics. ♥ -family headcanon: ok so this is weird cuz fuck canon,, but idk i hc that she’s not really close w her family?? like there’s just a disconnect there, so she’s kinda eager to connect w other people more than her own parents n shit. found family is def a big trope for saku (she esp looks at tsunade like a mum)☮-  friendship headcanon: my bby has a hard time making friends tbqh. it’s not that she doesn’t like people, she’s just really picky about who she wants to get close with, and fr saku is kindaaa fakey with people she doesn’t like (until she starts speaking her mind) so people will think she’s their best friend, but then will talk to her and she’s just like 

☯- likes/dislikes headcanon: this gyal is such a fucking adrenaline junkie like what?? she likes to deep dive and do chakra free tree jumping and (if its like modern au she really loves motorcycles??) she also love yoga and flower arranging because going slow really helps her center herself and make sure that she’s still.. all here. she also likes teaching little kids how to control their chakra!! onto to dislikes.. okay so she hates ha t e s bullies, as one does, but like there’s just something abt a group of people ganging up on person that just makes her so fucking angry. she hates really loud noises because they make her shutdown. she dislikes being underestimated (though she thinks its a wonderful battle tactic), she also dislikes being under the influence of anything because she can’t really control her emotions and she’s just a mess.▼- childhood headcanon: early childhood she was pretty shy and silent, mostly because other people were just too much for her, until ino came in to her life and brought her out of her shell!! she was always really blunt and matter of fact and that kinda made people not want to talk to her. she was such a fucking crybaby too.☆- happy headcanon: when she gets happy she yells!!! volume control is hard ;; she also happy flaps and jumps i love her sm☠-  angry/violent headcanon: oooh with sakura most people think her anger is explosive, and yeah it can be, but when she’s truly furious, she goes quiet. her words are cutting and she smiles, and it’s eerie how calm she seems even though her body is vibrating with anger. she used to be n angry crier, before becoming a shinobi.♡-  romantic headcanon: sakura is that person that if your’re nice to her even once, she will fall in love with you, she’s just so emotionally vunerable its sad i love her. also she’s big bi! she and naruto are the  bi icons of konoha lmao. hhh she has this thing where she gets infatuated with people to the point where it comes off as kind of obsessive and she truly doesn’t understand why it happens. after sasuke (because in my daydream reboot she forces herself to get over him) she just kinda.. keeps her romantic feelings locked at bay, because she loves love, but she lets it take a bit of a backseat in her mind (when she gets older she has like 3 gfs so its all gucci)ൠ -  random headcanon: (in like modern au’s) she’s like.. a gamer who hates video games. like she will finish a game all the way through because she’s a completionist, but they stress her the fuck out and make her anxious, also she loves writing,, but god is she horrible at it, she’s the type of person who writes those bad reader-inserts like, “this is the day.. my mom.. sold me to One Direction” or some shit 

[tsubasaclones]

Syaoran/Clone Syaoran whichever u wanna do!

u know me so well 😌 ill do both im not a coward

ccs syaoran:

headcanon A: ive said it before and ill say it again. hes autistic

headcanon B: i think he still leaves valentines day chocolate in sakuras mailbox except maybe he puts his name on it now (although that didnt stop her from knowing who it was from the first time)

headcanon C: he was probably really lonely when he first came to tomoeda. like, he went from living with 5 people (his mom + 4 sisters) to living alone (again why was a child living alone) in a foreign country. and as far as he knew there was going to be some tragedy if the cards didnt all get collected so i imagine he wouldve been worried about that too. he probably wasnt too happy about having to go anyway because like, he had to learn a whole new language for it and everything and japanese grammar is listed as his least favorite subject so...

headcanon D: ok wait this one might not be that unrealistic but like... there was never an actual on-screen asking-out scene for him & sakura so i imagine theyre like dating but theyre not like officially dating but theyre both idiots and dont know how to address it lmao

clone syaoran:

headcanon A: huge fucking book nerd. probably a walking encyclopedia

headcanon B: sorry i just had a vision of that "i want to see my little boy here he comes" video but its him holding mokona and idk whos behind the camera. maybe fai. but you get the idea

headcanon C: he never got to like... really apologize to fai for you know, eating his eye and all that. he probably feels guilty about that still

headcanon D: you already know what im going to say. he & clone sakura get to come back and be alive and happy and just get to fucking relax or something idk i just want them to get to do whatever the hell they want and not have to worry about getting separated and pulled into shit again

[tenko-is-un-lesbian]

[theredconversegirl]

Your stories are great! I'm autistic and sasusaku are my favorite ship since i was kid. what's your favorite sasusaku blank period stories?

Hi nonny :)

Thank you so much! 💕  I’m really happy to know that. 🥰 🤗

SasuSaku is my otp since I was 13 (almost a kid too?) :D 

I tried to narrow my top 5 blank period stories and couldn’t. So, I’m sharing my top 15 instead. 😅

Here you go: 

Blank Period 🍅🌸

Heat By: Lady Otori / @lady-otori​

Sasuke's temperature has always run higher than most, and Sakura has always, always burned for him. Moments of heat, spent together in the time after his return. [Rated M, on going]

There’s just something with Heat that turns me into a little schoolgirl, all giddy and ready to squeal. I love the slow burn here, and the details!  🤩

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

Cracks By: thevelvetbunny

Sasuke struggles with life after returning to Konoha, and enters counselling with a certain no-nonsense Hokage. [Rated M, incomplete]

I know this was written pre-canon but Sasuke’s return and reinstatement as a Konoha nin is very realistic and interesting here. Also, ss development is👌 . In the end it still fits as a blank period fic in my opinion.

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

Touch By: GreyCatsidhe

After the war, Sakura suggests a new therapy to help Sasuke heal and get better sleep. The recovering Uchiha is uncomfortable with the implications of the healing and what the fluttering in his stomach means. [Rated M, complete]

All time favorite! The story is perfect, amazing development and characterization. And the tension, don’t get me started with the tension...

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

Rise By: soulaire / @soulairee​

Post-war. Sasuke is cold, yes, but still there is warmth within him—even though he himself forgets it sometimes. And while he might not be the easiest person to love, at the end of the day he is still human, through and through. [Rated M, on going ~ recently updated!]

The slow burn, the tension, the friendship development... everything our ss hearts need. 💕

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

interim By: stannide

Sasuke lives with Sakura in the weeks after the war. [Rated T, complete]

This story shows the rebuilding of their relationship right after the war. They train and learn new techniques together. It’s beautiful, and I wish there was more. 

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸 

📍⚠️  Note: The next five one-shots are all by @blue-plums​ , and although they don’t have any particular order, I like to read them like this: 

🍅  going home By: blue-plums (arabesque05)

sasuke has taken to telling her “sorry, next time”, like some scum-bag debt-ridden parolee trying to weasel his way out of trouble. [Rated K+, complete]

🌸  the edge of my affection By: blue-plums (arabesque05)

naruto gets married with usual hyuuga sort of pageantry: village elders and foreign delegates and daimyo representatives all in attendance, until it becomes almost less about the wedding and more about state politics. [Rated T, complete]

🍅  dandelions By: blue-plums (arabesque05)

sasuke spends most of the morning waging battle against the dandelions growing all over the lawn. [Rated T, complete]

🌸  say yes By: blue-plums (arabesque05)

the war seems to have exhausted any of sasuke’s penchant for dramatics. “probably,” says sakura, “because you lived too hard and too fast when you were young and now what are you? boring. the most boring man in konoha.” [Rated T, complete]

🍅  hanami By: blue-plums (arabesque05)

sakura, when she has the opportunity, likes to sleep in late. sasuke is not like this. sakura sometimes suspects that sasuke is physically incapable of sleeping in. [Rated T, complete]

These stories are full of slices of life. They also have many subtle connections and references, it’s fun to find them. They are all beautiful and heartwarming. ❤️

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸 

skinny love By: theeflowerchild / @sun--flowerseed​

Post 699. It is a quiet love that blooms between them. It is a love shared between trivial conversations, and passing intimacies. It is a love expressed through gentle stares, and timid blushes. It is an unspoken bond, tied up in history, and it is a secret that everybody knows about. [Rated M, complete]

I’m going to quote my own review (lol): this is that perfect long one-shot that has everything we crave for these two.

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

Ten Signs You're In Love By: levi-nii-san

"You know, if I really allowed myself to love you, it would be such a burden to you." For a moment, Sakura considered punching him out right there. He honestly wasn't sure how much longer he could keep this going. Maybe if she wasn't so perfect, he wouldn't fall in love with her this hard. [Rated T, complete]

This story is just too cute! Full of fluff and humour 🥰

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

The Time of Spring By: Narika

After the war, Sasuke starts to come to terms with what it means for him having returned to Konoha. While spending time healing from his injury, Sasuke lets down his walls, little by little, to reciprocate Sakura's feelings. He realizes that there are many things in this world that he hasn't experienced quite yet. [Rated M, complete] 

Light-hearted story with lots of fluff and sweet Sasuke moments. 🥰

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

Never Let Me Go By: Mrs Scorpius Malfoy

After Sasuke leaves Konoha for a second time, he and Sakura become pen pals. They meet in Iwagakure by chance during Sakura's medic duties, and she realizes she can never let go of him. Post-War Canon. [Rated M, complete]

I really like the idea they became pen pals during Sasuke’s travels. 

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

We Do The Dance Electric By: Lady Momo

(AU Post-War) They don't immediately revert to their old ways because the old ways didn't work anyway. And learning and re-learning and un-learning things have always been the hardest part of the challenge. [Rated M, complete]

Another long one-shot full of snippets of their relationship post-war. 

——————————————————————————

I hope you enjoy this list! If you have any recs that are not here, please let me know 😊

~ Happy Reading & Stay Safe!

Alice Nine Music Review: [15th Anniversary Best Album] Fugetsu no Uta Edition

It’s funny that I’m actually in the middle of work and my autistic ADD brain whispered: why don’t you review and compare those tracks in Fugetsu no Uta with the original ones? 🤡 I mean, well, this album is certainly the main reason I decided to end my hiatus period as a fangirl (from 2015) and get back on track to Alice Nine and The GazettE last year so I have no reason to resist, right? 😂 I wrote this based on my objective POV, might spark disagreement between other fellow Kyuugumis but I’m very happy to discuss things further eheheheheh 😂

P.S. All of the picture were taken from FAIX website! Kudos to them for always providing us with high quality Alice Nine materials!

1. NUMBER SIX

Objectively speaking from my point of view, I love the original version more because it sounded more アリス九號.-ish. Fugetsu no Uta’s version, however, is very neat! I’m surprised to notice that in some ways the sound becomes more mature and well-arranged. They changed the keys in some parts and removed several details compared to the original version and that’s what made me feel off somehow. To me, NUMBER SIX will always portray that image of youth, recklessness, vandalism, and messy things (lmao). not to mention the MV where they (again and again) tried to be actors and added some background story😂 This entire album is basically showing off Shou’s progress in technique and vocal range respectively. I’m so proud of him! To be honest, I prefer his current voice tone compared to the earlier era of Alice Nine, what about you?

I think what makes Alice Nine music unique are their distinctive and detailed sound, also subtleties. That’s why the original NUMBER SIX is waaay better than Fugetsu no Uta’s in my opinion.🎸

2. -Dice-

It’s funny because I never really listen to -Dice- before and since it is included in the latest album, I finally paid attention to it😂 This song has strong “Yami ni Chiru Sakura” vibe to me. Basically, nice progression and arrangement. I think -Dice- is the kind of song the fans want to listen again after a long time, the kind of song with bold distortion, heavy beat, and screamo. Alice Nine is known to experiment a lot with their music, Hiroto said it himself several times during his live stream. Nevertheless, their two latest albums released in 2020 (Nightless City Eden and Wonderland With Black) somehow showed that their sound is more popish and lighter nowadays. I wonder if it’s either because Saga is head over heels with Kenty or Shou is so into KPop🤔 Thoughts? 

3. Kousai

KOUSAI IS ONE OF THE BEST ALICE NINE’S BALLAD MASTERPIECES!!!!! Composed by our baby guitarist, who is surprisingly so good at composing ballad songs 😅, Kousai has that power to make you feel a range of emotions you can’t put into words!

Music wise, Fugetsu no Uta’s Kousai is adjusted half key higher (maybe due to Shou’s vocal range change), they don’t use acoustic guitar, the chord progression is also different especially in pre-chorus and bridge parts, plus the solo is also different. Both versions have orchestral touch, but Fugetsu no Uta’s is more grandeur in composition. Again, I have to say the latest version is very neat and lovely to listen since Shou’s gentle voice really spoils my sense of hearing. However..............!!!! The original version has the raw, painful feeling that’s impossible to match! From minute 00:00 when the acoustic guitar flows until the end of the song (which is also filled with acoustic guitar only!), is a roller coaster of feelings that makes you question your existence. Whenever I play the original version of Kousai and the song ends, I can feel strange emptiness as if I had lost someone dear to me without knowing who it is 😭 and that’s why it’s hard for me to decide which one is better. I’d say both versions are equally great! I really can picture this song as an ending theme of a sad dorama/movie.

4. RAINBOWS

THE ORIGINAL ONE WINS! looooooooool 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m really sorry, I don’t even need to think twice to decide this. RAINBOWS is best of the best and I’d actually love to keep it original (sorry, boys 😓). I don’t have much to say about the Fugetsu no Uta’s version since they don’t add much change either. The original version has Saga’s signature sound, you can feel his genius juice flowing out throughout the entire song. It’s like a huge power you have to unleash otherwise it’ll explode and destroy you inside. Every time you listen to it, you’ll feel energized and pumped out! I don’t know, it’s just Fugetsu no Uta’s version doesn’t have that power. 

Thoughts? 🤔

5. CROSS GAME

AGAIN....THE ORIGINAL ONE WINS!!!! 😂 I don’t know why but I think they shouldn’t have included their iconic songs such as RAINBOWS and CROSS GAME in this album unless they’re keeping the original arrangement (re-mixing is okay but re-arrangement, re-record? 🤔), the songs are really losing their magic and power somehow. They also don’t add significant change into the songs compared to the other ones, why bother to re-record them anyways? (Sorry, this might sound harsh but I’m trying to be honest as possible 😭)

Probably the re-arrangement things work better on ballad songs or less upbeat songs since they adjust to Shou’s new vocal tone. Even Tora’s solo is not as powerful as the original one (this might also be because he’s no longer using his Ibanez. Ibanez is well-know for its heavy and crunchy distortion sound). I wonder if they said things like, “Let’s re-record CROSS GAME, but make it softer.” when they decided to include this song into the album. Thoughts? 

6. The Beautiful Name

They make a number of changes in this song and I should say the changes do not spark any conflict within me. Shou’s new vocal tone plus Saga’s voice as the background really go well with the Fugetsu no Uta’s arrangement. In some ways, Fugetsu no Uta’s version sounds more アリス九號.-ish than the original one because they change the chord progression and add more details. You might call me biased for saying this but the main factor that makes the new version more stand out is Hiroto’s ad-lib. If you notice, Hiroto adds phrases on both pre-choruses and bridge part, reduce the treble during intro and outro to produce softer but more powerful sound. Also, I love that they change the drums during bridge. The original version has double pedals sound which makes the song more rough while the newest version sounds more like anti-climax. To re-emphasize, Saga’s background singing voice also adds more point for Fugetsu no Uta’s version. He basically has idol-like vocal tone which you might already notice from his works (Volland Gump and his cover songs on SoundCloud), not only very contrast but also harmonize well with Shou’s.

Listening to Fugetsu no Uta’s version makes me more content, like there is a sense of fulfillment after the song ends. This is the kind of noise I want Alice Nine to produce more.

Wai, I want to write this review to the end but I have to get back to work😂 Please share your thoughts on this album because I love to hear other fans’ perspective about Alice Nine music. Be happy, healthy, and stay safe!

[kaleidoscopic-quiddity]

Hanako is autistic and here’s why:

Was described as being quiet and ‘bad at expressing himself’ by Tsuchigomori

Does raptor-hands all the time whilst floating, constantly, autistic king

Obviously has/had a special interest in astronomy, he went from sitting sullenly after getting bandaged up to happily and enthusiastically info-dumping about the moon to Tsuchigomori

Speaking of, he could rattle off the distance from earth to the moon from the top of his head & he brought it up with basically no prompting, that’s info-dumping y’all

This one is also just a character trait but his vocal tone is all over the place! One minuet he’s drawling and chipper, the next he’s snippy & short, it seems like he changes his whole speech patterns based upon what situation he’s in

This one is reaching but a love for donuts? Really liking one specific food because not only does it taste good but the texture is sensory heaven? Autism 101

Emotional dysregulation: has a minor breakdown over Kou saying he must’ve had ‘reasons’ for committing murder, is scared around Tsukasa to the point of speechless &/or tears, just in general he switches rapidly from cheerful to flirty to serious

(To be fair, most of what I’d describe as moments of emotional dysregulation from Hanako are also likely trauma responses which makes sense considering... everything)

Relies on teasing to get through social interactions, seems to have a script in which he pokes fun at pretty much everyone he has a conversation with

Also described as having bad grades by Tsuchigomori, school is hard when your brain is wired differently from everyone else’s.

I’m autistic and I say so, which is really the only reason I need

Avoids people when he’s upset, he hid from Nene after the donut-incident and in a flashback we see him crying alone in a classroom, as if to not be noticed

(Also worth noting: both times he hid behind a curtain. Coincidence or self-soothing method?)

Cares about the bathroom he inhabits being clean despite the fact that he’s a ghost who (presumably) germs & lack of hygiene have no effect on. Maybe he just likes his space being a specific way?

Fiddles with phone cords. It that probably just a habit? Yes, am I going to call it a stim anyways? Also yes

The kokeshi doll was a comfort item, don’t @ me

Tends to get quite close to people’s faces when he’s making direct eye contact with them. Eye contact is easier when we have less stuff in the background to look at instead

Sakura and Nene compare him (well, Tsukasa mostly but shhh) to a cat, y’know who else gets compared to cats? Autistic ppl

Possibly hyper-empathetic? Quickly grows to care about Nene & Kou, to the point at which he feels he has to solve their problems

Have I mentioned that I’m autistic? Because I am, and I say that Hanako is too so suck it lol

Hanako is autistic, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

[mypunkpansexualtwin]

for the character ask: futaba sakura? (if she's already been asked, then you can choose whoever!!)

Send me a character and I’ll talk a bit about them!

Hi! Yes excellent, Futaba is a fantastic choice! I have not gotten her yet, I don’t get a lot of asks, probably because it takes me forever to actually answer them. Anyways! Like last time, under a cut cause I am A Wordy Bitch and this is gonna be long.

do I like them:

Bro, I fuckin’ adore Futaba. That’s my little sister. (First playthrough of P5 I sibling-zoned so many of the characters the protag could have romanced. Ann? That’s my sister. Sumi? Sister, which made That One Fight really, uh, well not fun, but. Yeah. Makoto? Definitely sister.) She’s fantastic, she’s relatable, she’s adorable, how could I not love her?

5 good qualities:

1) I shall reiterate: relatable. I may not know computers, but I do know not being able to hold a conversation unless it is in the Realm of Interests.

2) Ballsy. I knew from the first playthrough going in completely blind (and therefor not knowing What All Was Up With Akechi), when she grabbed Akechi’s phone, she was bugging that fuckin’ thing. Because that was not her usual behavior, outside of the lobsters moment at the beach or when she’s hiding behind the protag, she’s not the kind of person who gets in another person’s bubble, especially not a shady stranger, even if he’s got the fanciest phone on the goddamn planet. So going for that lie with a fuckin’ detective was just. -chef’s kiss- Futaba maxed her fuckin’ Guts stat and that needs to be talked about more.

3) Her little laugh. Nyehehe.

4) Girl just casually became the most notorious white hat hacker on the planet to help people and expose corruption on her own. Just doing good with what she had. Four for you, Glen Coco Medjed Alibaba.

5) Respect to her working with Akechi in 3rd semester despite everything they’ve learned. Doing it not only for the greater good, but also for the chance to roast him during Mementos conversations. It’s great, she’s great.

3 bad qualities:

1) Hacked a military base just to see if she could??? Okay to be fair this could also go on the good qualities list but also that feels like an unnecessary risk considering the line of business she’s in?

2) Can’t swim. We took you to a beach, why didn’t you say anything? We could have taught you!

3) Won’t tell Yusuke where she got her mask. It’s a cool mask, let him have one of his own. Actually maybe it’s for the best, better to not let him make the choice between that and food and set off my Inner Grandma.

favourite episode/etc:

Okay, I say this as someone who would sell their kidney for a mod that lets us be nicer to Mishima, but I about died when she obliterated that boy from orbit by calling him an NPC after he asks if she has a dirty streaming channel and says ‘kek’ out loud. I loved that bit and look forward to it every playthrough.

otp:

I mentioned on the Sumi answer that I adore Sumitaba. Also Kana is never seen in her social link but Futaba/Kana.

brotp:

Shutaba, but specifically in an “Autistic Siblings Just Vibing” sort of way where he’s never shamed her for her mask, he’s got his own that he’s just sneaky about, those glasses ain’t prescription. But also, like with Sumi and Ryuji, just give her all the friends.

ot3:

Futaba/Real Food/A Better Sleep Schedule

notp:

Much like most of the P5 cast, I don’t have a hard notp for her (barring that which is overtly gross, she’s 15). I personally read her dynamic with the protag as more sibling, but that’s in part cause I’m An Older Sibling and will adopt anything that moves. I’ve still read some good shutaba stuff, even if it’s not something I’ll seek out myself. Same with Yutaba, bickering doesn’t necessarily equate romantic chemistry, but I’ve still enjoyed stuff that paired them.

best quote:

"My whole world is expanding. Every day brings new and different discoveries. The direction of Sojiro's cowlick, the atmosphere of Yongen, the various types of coffee beans... Things might be the exact same as they were yesterday, but from my perspective, it's all spinning." Bro, the growth...

head canon:

Futaba is the autistic bicon we need and deserve.

[adhd-sakura]

Thank u for the neurodivergent naruto character headcannons I owe you my soul,,, adhd Sakura makes my friend so happy and I always headcannon sasuke as autistic and/or ADHD (I’m autistic) sooo we really saying neurodivergent rights in the naruto fandom

you are so welcome, pal! I’m glad that my little blog Sparks Joy for at least 1 ND person, let alone 2! ADHD Sakura specifically is just like. Me straight up projecting 80% of the time oop so I didn’t think anyone else would like it? I was actually super anxious about getting comments like ‘um, ADHD don’t act like that =/”, so I’m over the moon hearing that you and your friend enjoy my erractic content! 

I do not want your soul- I already have too many! I refuse to let hubris blind me! I appriciate the offer though I’ll find u if I ever need one don’t worry UuU

ND Rights indeed! Name one NT Character in Naruto that isn’t A. Boring and/or B. a waste of air. Hanzo comes to mind.

Anyway, thank you for popping into my inbox, it made my day! You and your friend, and anyone else really, feel free to ask me questions or posit ideas about ND Naruto! I’m not picky or judgey, and will gladly ponder anything you point my mind at like a dog with a bone. I know my blog name is ‘ADHD-Sakura’ but, like, I’m down for anything. try me. (if you want to no pressure I swear if you aren’t comfy don’t force yourself to! I don’t want anyone to feel obligated or uncomfortable! This is an invitation and low-key begging, nothing more!)

Random Autistic Sasuke h/c, just for you kind annon with rights: Sasuke with the Sharringan has too much power. Not because of all the broken shit that comes with the Sharringan, but because whenever someone (is making a face/speaking in a way/basically any non-verbal/non-direct communications that confuse him) he just. Flashes his magic eyes that give him perfect memory and ability to mirror it and then goes to Sakura (she has flashcards about this shit) and recreates it and lets her decipher it for him. He’s unstoppable.

[shitty-kinda-doodles]

Wow can you believe Tsubaki-sensei has gifted us with so many autistic characters

liSTEN

* Nozaki's special interest is manga, obviously, he seems kinda careless at first but if it's about his SI he's SO PASSIONATE. He's socially clueless and tries to give logic to social situations in his own way. He has a hard time understanding his own feelings he's in love with Sakura I tell you he just doesn't realize it oKAY.

* Mikoshiba and Nozaki are buddies because they get each other because they're both autistic. Mikoshiba's special interest are his figurines. The way he socializes is sprouting lines he believes make sense for him to make but he's embarrassed by. He MASKS, GUYS. Literally puts on a front of confidence but is actually intimidated by people and he scripts what he's going to say in his head.

* For Mayu, everything is too much and affects him more than your average guy. He has sensory issues, that's why he's always tired. Except for judo, his special interest, for which he can do anything. He and Nozaki get each other as well, he somehow understands the minimalist way Mayu speaks and texts. He was bullied as a child which is awfully common. But even if it's tiring he's willing to go out with Mikorin it's love dudes I swear

* Miyako is overly trusting so she doesn't take care of herself as much as she probably needs to and goes along with what people say because she trusts them. She's socially and specially romantically clueless, so like Nozaki and Mikoshiba, she applies the logic she knows (manga tropes) to real life social situations to make sense of them. Doesn't know when someone's flirting with her classic ggggg.

* Yui from Oresama Teacher has a hard time making friends but the few friends he has he ADORES WITH ALL HIS HEART. He has SO MANY FEELINGS and LOVES HUGS. Ninja stuff is his special interest, duh, and it's been so for most of his life. He also doesn't get subtle social rules.

* Komari learned to communicate by pushing her thoughts into others because when she speaks it's TOO FRANK and people get offended. She's also unintentionally LOUD. Instead of working on lowering her voice and altering her way of speaking she just stopped talking all together, black and white thinking. She eats sweets ALL THE TIME and a ton of them too, samefood. She also LOVES touch, she likes when people carry her (they love it too) and yes she's a pervert who loves butts but also it FEELS GOOD TO TOUCH THEM. In the future touching Aki's butt will be a stim of hers.

* Kosaka and Komari get along and are together so much because they're both autistic. Kosaka has great planning skills but if something unexpected happens he can't handle it. He doesn't understand social norms and innuendos, you have to tell him things clearly or he won't get it. He can talk to people with no problem but he doesn't UNDERSTAND them.

It's been a while since I've read either manga so I might be missing stuff but anyways, those are my autistic headcannons.

[c-is-for-circinate]

so what you're saying is you only like ace representation when autistic ace women are being thrown under the bus because our representation doesn't matter and our attempts to create our own representation (because if we don't we don't get any) are bad and ableist so we should just sit down, shut up, and be content with never seeing ourselves in fiction. got it. sorry we keep forgetting our place and being so fucking inconvenient with our wishing to be allowed to exist in stories.

Okay.  Okay, we’re both going to take a deep breath and maybe get a cup of tea here and have this conversation–or at least I am.  You can if you like.  I suggest that you might want to, because you clearly seem to care a whole bunch what I have to say on this topic, for some reason, even though I’m nobody on the internet with all of 200 notes on a post that doesn’t even say the thing you seem to think it says.  You care enough to be very upset in my inbox, so it seems like you might care enough to want to have this discussion.

Cool.  I’ve got shit I’m putting off doing this afternoon.  Let’s have this talk.

For starters: yup, I can see that you’re really angry.  I get that.  If somebody were telling me to sit down and shut up about representing myself in fiction, I’d be real angry, too.  And yes, I can see how the thing you initially saw (which I’m assuming was this post, without any of the later additions to it) might sound that way to you, and I apologize.

Still not sure why the opinions of one random person on the internet are worth your time and your words and your rage on this level, though you do you–not that ‘somebody thinks I shouldn’t exist or see myself in fiction’ isn’t worth raging about, but this seems like a pretty small corner to have this anger-fit in.  Like, you clearly know that many people DO believe the things you think I believe, all the time, every day.  This wouldn’t have hit such a button if that weren’t the case.  I would get really exhausted fighting this fight all the time, if I were you.  Which I’m not.

Which begs the question: if I’m saying “let horrible shit go on the internet, life is too short to fight every battle,” then why am I taking the time to start this question with one very angry anon who might not even bother coming to my blog to see my response in the first place?

Well.  For one, because I obviously hurt you, and that sucks.  Whatever I meant to communicate, you read a thing that clearly hurt.  As a decent human, it behooves me to acknowledge that if I can, and to try to address it if I can.

Also because I clearly hurt you by phrasing and explaining myself poorly, and that sucks in a whole different way.  And maybe if we have this conversation here, other people WON’T have the same misunderstanding.  That’d be pretty great.

(And also because life is so short, and the internet is so angry, and I am so tired all the time.  Everyone is always so angry here, so cruel and so hurt and so furious.  Maybe I can be a little bit kind.  Maybe it will matter.  Maybe somebody else on the internet will take a deep breath at their reflexive rage.  It could happen.)

Alright, now, to the meat of your complaint: you believe I have said, “ace autistic women should not be represented in fiction, it’s ableist and bad.”  You believe that this is a pretty shitty thing to think because ace autistic women actually exist in the actual world, and they/you would like some actual representation, or at least to be allowed to represent themselves.

That is a pretty shitty thing to think.  It’s good that I don’t think it.  It sucks that it sounded like I do.  You might want to re-read the version of the original post that I linked above, with several additional comments on it.  You might want to read this post, where I clarified my point of view.  You might want to read it again.

Here’s what I actually think: in our culture of stories, especially in fandom and also in published media, romantic storylines are held up at the center of fiction all the time.  Romance and romantic interest are used to create tension, to create character depth, to add complexity and interest and signal to readers ‘hey, over here, these characters are important, the story is here!’

And that’s fucked up.  You already know that, if you’re on the internet looking for stories about ace representation.  But it’s a fact.

Here’s the other thing I think: many authors, mostly in fandom and also sometimes in published media, use the idea of asexuality–not its reality, not its complexities, not the intricate intersections of asexuality and aromanticism, not anything true and real–use the idea of ‘oh, this character just isn’t interested in anyone ever’ as a way to sideline specific characters out of that romantic narrative.

The people fandom wants most of all to sideline out of its stories?  Women.

(Yes, even in het fandoms.  Maybe especially in het fandoms.  The rage and hate against an ‘other woman’ is terrifying to behold.)

The people fandom wants even more than that to keep out of the spotlight and also particularly out of romantic storylines altogether?   ND/autistic women.

Using asexuality as a way to keep autistic women (as a way to keep women, as a way to keep autistic people, as a way to keep anyone) out of a narrative is fucking bullshit.  This I believe.  This I absolutely believe.  And it is shitty, shitty representation that is not worthy of the name.  It is lazy and exploitative writing that uses ‘representation’ as an excuse not to actually explore or represent anyone at all.

I wrote that original post because of the overwhelming majority of the Persona 5 fandom, which downright screams about how Futaba Sakura (one of the most legit autistic characters I’ve ever seen in fiction that wasn’t specifically about ‘hey look at this autistic character’) can’t be shipped with anyone let alone the protag, she is the little sister and she doesn’t like to be touched anyway she probably just doesn’t want anyone.  I wrote it because I just spent like a month devouring Voltron fic and you can’t find good poly-fic that isn’t ‘just the boys fucking each other’ for love or money–Pidge likes robots more than people and that means she’d never be attracted to or fall for anyone, at least if you need an excuse to keep her out of the group sex.  I wrote it because Parker/Hardison/Eliot is the OT3 of all OT3′s.  I wrote it because I was in Glee fandom for years and I fucking remember what fandom said about Brittany S. Pierce.

I would love to see more ace representation in fiction.  I would love to see so much more fiction that centers ace characters, that explores the fact that asexuality is an identity rather than a lack of identity.  That lets ace characters fill lead roles and doesn’t even make their sexuality an issue.  Ace characters in romances.  Ace characters with their own plotlines and intense character development who never want or need romances.  And yes: that includes autistic or otherwise neurodivergent female asexual characters.  Any one of the characters I just listed above, give me a story about them navigating their own sexuality or navigating their world, their most important non-sexual non-romantic relationships, their selves, and let them be as not-neurotypical as all hell.  I will read it in a fucking instant.

You want to see you in fiction.  I want to see you in fiction.  What we’re getting ain’t it.

Take some deep breaths.  Talk to a friend who knows you.  Hug a dog/cat/person, if they’re available and hugging’s your thing.  Maybe don’t scream at strangers on the internet.  We’re on the same side.

[maiamaiden]

Futaba Sakura?

thanks!!

Why I like them

Very Relatable like she’s literally me. how her anxiety was shown was super realistic like she can’t talk to people but if someone mentions something she likes she overshares and i super appreciated that Thanks Atlus

Why I don’t

i think her opening up to the pthieves in like 3 days was...eh...it should’ve taken way longer but i also think that might’ve been kinda weird since they needed to move the plot along so i’m kinda mixed about that

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

probably the entire scene in her palace when her shadow gets her to realize that her mom really loved her

Favorite season/movie

i’ll just pretend this is like. story arc of the game or something. anyway i Love her palace so much. ancient egypt was my special interest when i was a kid and it’s always been a dream of mine to play a game with like. a really cool egypt dungeon but i’ve never seen it done in a way i liked before and futaba’s palace was Perfect the design was great the puzzles were fun (a little too easy tho but the puzzles in all the palaces were too easy) and the music was Amazing i have like a bunch of different remixes of it on my ipod lol it’s So Good

Favorite line

she has a lot of lines i like tbh but my fave is probably one from her shadow actually, saying “this place is my tomb”/”i’m going to die here” because it was so. chilling to hear

Favorite outfit

these:

and this:

OTP

i don’t ship her with anyone rn altho ann/futaba might be worming its way into my heart

Brotp

her and yusuke. she shows him lots of memes

Head Canon

Autistic Futaba is Canon

Unpopular opinion

A wish

if she’s gonna dance pls let me put her in her shadow’s outfit it’s so good

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

@ atlus don’t put akira/futaba ship fuel in the spinoffs pls and thanks

My nickname for them

[mizufae]

@brinnanza here is a list of CR shows that I think you might enjoy, as listed when I scroll by it on their shows by popularity page:

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - I suspect you’ve already seen this, or maybe the previous non-brotherhood anime. IMO it is a large improvement on the first anime although not by as much as some people say, though the finale is a thousand times better and much more integrated into the show as a whole, and there is so much less filler thank goodness. Anyway it has a lot of blood and violence and death and existential scary shit so YMMV but if you are up to that you will likely enjoy.

Fairy Tail - look it’s a hugely long running ridiculous shonen show with entire episodes where people just power up BUT it has a huge cast of colorful characters with some good humor and some interesting fantasy concepts and if you are looking for some Background Anime then by gum you’ve got it. Also has talking, flying cats and dragons who are also your mom

Log Horizon - an actually good show that investigates the question “what if real people got sucked into a MMORPG and had to live actual lives there” and there’s some good stuff about personhood and self determination and some really geeky stuff and also friendship!!!!

Toriko - an even more inexplicable shonen show all about bizarre food and hunting for rare ingredients in insane fantasy lands and the freaky society that has developed around this strange priority system. It is like, if you took that phase when kids draw impossible made up animals and plants and animated it and wrote a whole world around them taking them very very seriously, plus a large dash of EXTREME FRIENDSHIP between the very muscly blue haired protagonist and his best friend the teeny tiny skinny chef and their adventures, all while getting reeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyyy high

Cowboy Bebop - I’m gonna assume you’ve watched bebop, if not, what’s the matter with you go do that

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash - super solid high fantasy show with great character writing, sadly too short, based on a series of light novels so maybe there will be more

Uta no Prince Sama - I LOVE THIS STUPID SHOW ABOUT A GIRL WHO GOES TO MUSIC SCHOOL AND CAN GET IT WITH ANY OF A WHOLE CAST OF BEAUTIFUL BOYS WHO ARE IN AN IDOL GROUP FIGHT ME

Sound! Euphonium - Band Camp The Anime but more extra than that, delightful girls being awesome and playing large brass instruments

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun - wonderfully funny show about an obviously autistic manga-ka and the girl who is into him and the dorks he bases his characters on and it’s just so funny and defies summaries and is one of those rare instances of humor that is entirely good hearted

Gurren Lagann - there was a whole year where i was OBSESSED with this sketchy giant robot show

Digimon Adventure - do you want to cry about your late 90s childhood? Well do I have the throwback for you

SKET Dance - if iCarly were an anime. no but srsly it is a cute comedy show about teens who have to do a club activity so they make a club whose purpose is “to hang out and help other clubs with their issues” which leads to Shenanigans. Large cast of cute characters and silliness but also genuine Feels about growing up and friendship and stuff.

Cardcaptor Sakura - if you havent watched CCS then what are you doing even talking to me

Tegami Bachi Letter Bee - a weird little show with some very interesting concepts about love and metaphors and stuff, also monster girls who are actual girls and a disabled character who refuses to be woobified

Bodacious Space Pirates - this is a show for queer girls, don’t let the title fool you. it is hella funny and also strange and the space pirates are indeed pretty bodacious

Symphogear - badass magical girl show about fighting monsters with the power of POUNDING BEATS AND PURE POP SOUNDS, also some v. v. compelling baby gay girls being like I LOVE YOU no I LOVE YOU and also like wonky world building secret not so secret organization stuff and it’s all neon bright and girlfriends, idk, i love symphogear and feel it is highly underappreciated

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet - Gorgeous giant robot show about what happens if you took transcendental humanism and fucking ran with it and also mixed with waterworld only good and also AI vs AI and also a show where everyone doesnt conveniently just speak japanese and it’s pretty great! and also there’s a moral about treating disabled people like people and also some great female characters with power. CAVEAT there is some really shitty stuff about trans people but it’s only a couple minutes in the whole show and I TRIED to get the translator to mitigate it in english but if anything it’s worse than the original ugh ugh ugh. But seriously other than that it’s a really good show :/

RIN-NE - an adorable show about dead people, but don’t worry it’s so cute you wont even notice! But seriously it is charming and beautiful in a cartoonish way and the characters are so funny and it has some stuff about crappy parents being crappy and also love and friendship and ghosts who do funny stuff and demons who are sooooo extra and it’s just great fun, why didnt this show get more traction, what is wrong with everyone

Silver Spoon - An anime about learning about farming! It’s great, no, seriously, it’s SO GREAT

Time of Eve - DO YOU WANT TO CRY ABOUT ROBOTS? CRYING ABOUT ROBOTS ALREADY AND NEED TO BE HEALED? WATCH TIME OF EVE. NO, SERIOUSLY, DO IT. Time of Eve should be considered one of the finest pieces of contemporary science fiction out there today and i dont understand how or why everyone isn’t talking about it and including it in college courses and shit. it’s so good, like solidly fantastically good, and the creator of it is such a huge nerd, wow, it really shows it’s SO GOOD.

Kids on the Slope - a beautiful period piece about jazz and Japan as a nation recovering from war and it’s incredible, Required Viewing imo

Library War - when this show came out it was a bizarre concept: what if librarians had to become soldiers to defend knowledge? like with guns and stuff? NOWADAYS it’s almost too scary and on-point. Fuck fuck fuck. Anyway it’s good though, I should rewatch it. Y’know, like how everyone is reading 1984 these days.

Galaxy Express 999 - Do you like trains? Do you like space? Do you like trains in space?? No but seriously Galaxy Express 999 is in my top ten favorite shows of all time. Not favorite animes. Favorite shows. It’s got EVERYTHING I love all in one thing and every episode is different and beautiful and it’s just... siiiigh. Retro classic, if you watch it you will see examples of so many things that became tropes because of it. And the leading lady is one of the best characters ever. God, I love Galaxy Express 999

Rose of Versailles - A classic shoujo show about a girl who was raised as a boy. It’s just... pearls and flowers and French “history” and fashion and dueling and y’alllllll classic gay girl stuff

OKAY THAT’S ALL I GOT FOR CRUNCHYROLL i have Mixed Feelings about Funi so idk if i am up to doing a rundown of their offerings even though they host a lot of good shows because, well. Reasons I can’t and won’t get into that also cause me to have anxiety flashbacks SO you know how it is. But like, yeah. Some Shows For You To Enjoy
