#arawi is my mortal enemy for not making it official aside from things like this fr

[mai-is-gai]

Hello, #maigai (or #mygirls even, or my #nichijou posts ig) peruser

ive been a nichijou fan and maikko shipper for 7 years now (apparently the 7th anniversary of the first time i watched it will be on the 28th of march yippee!!!! 🎉🎉). i was 17 at the time, and as such not all of the opinions i expressed in my old posts still reflect my current views

um basically so i have grown up and my eyes have opened and now i know mio is bi, and in a committed queerplatonic relationship with yukko, mai and nano (mai and yukko are still wives though obviously) i would like to formally apologize to all the mio x yukko shippers idk how openly i expressed it but i used to really hate that ship and ive never fully known why. i was probably projecting stuff i was dealing with irl. i still dont ship it but be yourselves babes 💋 if you cant forgive me for calling mio str8 that one time i understand, i cant either tbh

also on the topic of headcanons:

nano is still aroace

mai and yukko are both nb ace lesbians (this hasnt changed in a while but what has changed is i recently started identifying as ace and lesbian again <3 recently as in like in the past week lol)

yukko is transfem + left-handed + shorter than nano + adhd and maybe autistic as well (but ik people wont fight me about that last one, same with mai definitely being autistic)

idk what everyone else is but no one in all of tokisadame is fucking neurotypical have you seen them

about mai and yukkos cats: i have thoughts about them but the short version is theyre siblings, and they adopted them together after they started dating. (is yukkos cat's name confirmed to be Chissan?? bc while it's really funny to think mai not only picked a very similar name for hers but on top of that nicknamed her the name of the other one, its confusing for writing lol and on that note, suggests names i would love that!!)

and, okay. the ship is not literally canon. it's dubiously canon at best, but like there's a lot of fuel and it's real in my heart </3 (all those posts and tags about it being canon were 100% genuine though)

PLEASE DONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CITY I HAVENT READ IT

but anyway more importantly, like i said in a recent post the maikko hyperfixation is back in full force and im reviving the idea of making a big long video infodumping about why, bc it's something ive genuinely wanted to do for years but also GOD the original post about noticing mai is on yukko's bed in that one "subliminal" panel (which i made on the same year i first watched the show and read the manga) HAUNTS me i hate the way it's written. again reiterating another recent-ish post im happy people are still finding it and giving it notes bc of the message (obviously the thing its about but lowkey also me flexing that i knew the episodes rly well lol) but the words ew i hate it

if youre new here, hi, yeah im talking about this:

i have no recollection of when i first read volume 10 but i know i didnt immediately notice it. i just screamed like "omg what is happening why is she like that???? :0" but then one day it hit me- that is not her bed. this is:

i also liked joking about the big panel of that same page

"there's a high likelyhood that those are mai's legs- ohohohho so that's why she's so happy 😳😳😳" (notice how ive realized im ace since making that old post. i hate it 😭) but i mention it bc it definitely fueled my reaction

anyway yeah that was indeed yukko's bed

that's it. i noticed that mai is blushing on yukkos bed and it blew my mind. i mean it is huge like WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF NOT GAY, my point is i hate that original post if it wasnt clear lmao

anyway like i said it's still real in my heart and i intend to talk your ears off about why so stay tuned <3
