#at least in shounen

The reason yuri(wlw) ships are relatively less popular in anime that yaoi(mlm) is that more often than not the male characters form such nuanced, deep and meaningful relationships with each other but with female characters there's always more shallow comical rivalry than not. Compare Ino and Sakura's rivalry/friendship to that of Naruto and Sasuke in canon and you'll know what I mean. That being said, the scene in forest of death where Ino tells Sakura that she's blossomed into a beautiful flower is so beautiful😩😩

inosaku still solos narusasu any day of the week

Can we acknowledge how tragic of a detail this is? In ch114?

The fact that Teru views Kunishige (shrine grandpa) as the only one he can rely on despite how their relationship is at-best frenemies and at-worst hostile is downright devastating.

Reason #1: Teru and Kunishige’s relationship is predominantly negative.

In ch79, gramps was making jokes about threatening Teru’s livelihood and while Teru later joined in to counter, the comment was clearly in bad faith — an attempted power play to exert control over Teru and his flippant behavior. It’s a baseless threat stuffed within the carcass of a joke: “your family needs us — show respect.” Teru’s an instigator for sure, but he’s not the adult in this situation.

Point #2: Kunishige has done little to deserve Teru’s faith as an individual.

Shrine politics aside, gramps was beefing with a teenager and snitches on him to his dad! He pulled the “I’m telling Dad on you” with Teru’s OWN FATHER pushing 90 — like DAWG.

I don’t fault gramps for reporting the Red House incident given his past experiences or its history, but it was the professional choice — not the kind one. It doesn’t indicate any affection towards Teru nor resemble how you would treat a child you would go out of your way to support. Teru clearly has an adverse reaction to his father. He’s off-put by the idea of contacting him in ch79 and canonically views his father as absent and not someone he can expect help from in ch114. Not over Kunishige at least.

Yeah, gramps puts on the Santa suit per Teru’s request. That in itself is an undeniable act of kindness. He does care and I don’t doubt that he is there for Teru. But it’s not enough to deny this fact:

Conclusion: The only person (and adult) Teru feels he can rely on doesn’t treat him very well and won’t protect him from his father if it meant going against his shrine duties. A bottom of the barrel choice because it becomes unnervingly evident this child, Teru, as early as 14, grew up having no one else. He chooses Kunishige over his own father, family members, friends, teachers — everyone.

And Kunishige doesn’t even like him.

Mmmmmmm tbhk fanart

y'know what?

upon further reflection, i wonder if kou may be forced to make a choice in the end of whether to save nene or mitsuba.

i don't think aidairo are the type of writers to make him choose nene, at least not for plot convenience or heteronormativity.

i believe that the kou we've seen in recent chapters would choose to save mitsuba.

although, since nene is the original protagonist, and a love interest for hanako, mitsuba will probably get killed anyway and nene will be saved, emphasizing kou's utter lack of control over the fate of the people he loves.

somehow i feel vindicated like these dudes on twitter really are admitting that they would like bakudeku if it were a het ship LMAO

Yo…in retrospect Allen Walker and gang’s fight stats go crazy. He’s like 15 and has fought the earl, aka THE big bad of the holy war, one-on-one in the Noah’s ark arc. Everyone on team Allen walker has fought the Noah—AKA the borderline immortal beings most exorcists of this era have never even seen before and those who have died at the hands of—so much they know most of them by name (like when Kanda said “shut up road” after he took her ribbon in the Alma karma arc).

If it wasn’t for the the whole Allen turning into a noah thing you know these kids would have been legendary exorcists with fan followings after getting back from the ark

Mew today's not-- I don't care, I chose to brainstorm these designs because it sounded like a fun idea. I was going for something like a "group cosplay" (and Tokyo Mew Mew) so each Mega also has an associated animal.

Volnutt is a monkey because Data (duh), Hub is a cat because it was literally given to him thanks to the anime, Geo and Omega-Xis are rabbits because the spikes on Geo's visor give me that image, then X and Rock are both dogs (albeit Rock is a puppy) because uhh... Rock has Rush and honestly for X I just thought about Sigma and his dog--

Also there's lots of doodles of Volnutt because this was absolutely his idea somehow.

I miss Mei so much you don’t understand :( bring her back AidaIro. Also Yako and Hakubo

I hate how the school mysteries (other than Hanako, Mitsuba and Akane) get there one arc where you really get to know them and care about them and then they just go away forever. GIVE THEM BACK PLS AIDAIRO LET THEM OUT OF THE CLOSET THEYVE DONE NOTHING WRONG

[hanakou-often]

I got some very real reasons to love Hanakou but I think one of the funniest aspects I enjoy the most is the idea of a single Nene in the background of established Hanakou—a relationship she NEVER saw coming because 1. Kou doesn’t seem the romantic type, 2. Out of ALL people he chose HANAKO??? HE COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER???, 3. GHOST AND EXORCIST??? YALL WERE ENEMIES LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO WHAT—sulking because her two besties got together before she, a devoted (hopeless) romantic, could even get her first kiss

Sometimes I feel like a silly weirdo for shipping Satosugu so hard, but then I hear a clip of “my heart and my soul know otherwise” and I remember that I am not at fault here.
