“And the bass was played by you, Kurosaki-san, correct? I discover something new every time I listen...!”

”Right. ...more importantly, your face is too close. Back up a bit.”

“S-sorry. I got all caught up in what I was saying. Whenever I see you it just happens...”

[semi-imaginary-place]

T&B 2

EP1: LETSSS GOOOOOOO! the return of my favorite pathetic middle aged man. I wonder if they'll address the stinger from season 1. He is Tomas... that's a good joke. because the white armor right after the dude with the black armor Mr. Black is introduced. they already did the arc where kotetsu hides that he's having problems with his powers so i hope they don't try that again. the last series by this production team was.... bad. excellent characters and individual moments disaster plot that could not hold itself together.

ep3: ahhh kotetsu still isn't over his habit of lying to try and protect the feelings of others and ending up causing a far bigger mess. aw barnaby is so trusting, i don't want to see him hurt.

ep4: he got a 2nd dog and named it johnjohn!!!! you thought this was a superhero show? ha. this was a workplace drama all along. sky high is PURE and must be protected. aww Nathan sounds like you too are having trouble relaxing around each other.

ep5: the houseplant saga continues. well im' glad he at least has 1 hobby now as compared to the 0 hobbies barnaby had before. live laught love. since when was bison bullet proof????????

ep6: huh looks like everyone is getting couples therapy. i miss my buddy cop show. aww pao lin is so excited to play sempai. huh so that's double the unknowing rivals. oof what a situation. Cat clearly doesn't have the experience and training for these high risk situations which she really shouldn't be handling alone. she's more pressured by her mom than she is a threat to her life.

ep7: who thought yuri doing pr was a good idea???? don't they have a pr team. he's a lawyer!

ep8: thomas probably should have reported that someone drugged him. 8 episodes... will t&b ever get that dinner date?

ep9: did yuri get demoted or something? why is he part of these non essential meetings, he doesn't need to be there please let the man do his job. kotetsu isn't as crafty as he thinks he is. what is he up to this time

ep10: they took barnaby out so someone else could get to be the smart one and by they i mean the writers. should have zapped mugen while he was monologueing

ep11: why did tiger and yuri just run in without like... equipment. and yuri is totally blowing his cover as a normal civil servant. blue rose is incredibly powerful but they were lucky to take out fire emblem and sky high since they are also highly competent. actually i seem to remember the writers doing this to sky high before, taking him out early because he was too plot breaking

ep12: the writers forgot about ben didn't they. also like?????? why is there a massive season 1 spoiler in the opening??? no where yet has the show revealed in season 2 that yuri is lunatic and yet that's just there in the opening??? so far the show has been pretty accessible for people that never watched season 1 so im very confused by this decision.

ah yes... assigning a critical role to the one that has repeatedly cracked under pressure. did no one think to bring a tazer... or like a wooden bat... or like chloroform... was really such a good idea to broadcast this? hmm tiger and barnaby haven't used their powers yet.

ep13: oh there it is. with 100 power probably should have attacked the teleporting one tho. knock him out faster than he can teleport. wow this is like 2? 3? bad christmases in a row sternbild cant catch a break. holy shit Cat killed a dude. they succeeded in making this a very uncomfortable episode. bruhhhhh removing that spike WILL kill you (unless the narrative saves you)

hmmm This has been decent so far. It wasn't as transcendental as the original series but the original series had an additional 12 episodes and i haven't seen the og in years so who knows if it would hold up now. The writing was a little clumsy at points but I'd say it still does better than the average anime, there were many good scenes. My main complaint would be that despite the show being called Tiger & Bunny 2 we didn't get as much koetetsu and barnaby as I'd hoped. their dynamic was the central pillar of season 1 and in the attempt to quickly endear the audience to all the new characters, the main duo felt out of focus for much of these 13 episodes. they were reoccurring side characters in the stories of others which dont get me wrong is a great way to structure a show, but i liked the story being focused on t&b in the original show so im disappointed the story these 12 episodes hasn't been about them. there are so few characters i really like.... so few of them... so its not greedy that i want more pathetic old man

I want to rewatch the original series now, I miss the new york flavor. and they finally added canon dates? an odd decision, hmmm im neutral. amd they got rid of agnes' subordinates!!

and and apparently kotetsu almost got called mr. busty by the writers. can you imagine. that would have been hilarious. busty and bunny. it sounds like a strip club!

yeah no original 13 episodes were cleaner, t&b2 by comparison so far is a little sloppier, it still clunks in some places. part of the original charm was bumbling middle aged man struggling with his career, they keep some of that grounded feeling with the first 6 eps being abut work place drama but its not quite as charming. i want more kotetsu being pathetic

with subaru and thomas they were definitely trying to recreate that tension that kotetsu and barnaby originally had where they hated working together, like thomas even has a fake backstory as an aloof rich kid which is what barnaby actually was.

Souyowrimo Day 11

Prompt list here!

These are definitely getting longer as the month goes on...

You can read the rest here.

Day 11 - Confession

It all started with an innocent conversation at lunch.

“Man, did you guys hear about Satsuma in 2-C?” Yosuke asked, just as the four of them sat down to eat lunch in their usual spot on the roof. Chie rolled her eyes.

“Not all of us are gossip-mongers like you are, Yosuke,” she chided. Yosuke glowered at her, and Yukiko giggled.

“What happened?” Souji asked, because he wanted to keep the conversation going, and he really didn’t like it when Chie shut Yosuke down like that. Yosuke brightened a little, turning to him.

“He got confessed to by an underclassman! She dropped a note in his locker and everything. I didn’t even know that people still did the note in the locker thing nowadays,” Yosuke explained.

“I get notes in my locker all the time,” Yukiko said. Yosuke looked surprised.

“Yeah, even I’ve gotten a couple of notes in my locker,” Chie added.

“Same here,” Souji chimed in. Yosuke turned to him, with a pout.

“You’ve only been here for like a month! What the heck?!” he demanded. Chie laughed.

“Aww, Yosuke, are you hoping to get a love confession in your locker too?” she teased.

“So what if I am?” Yosuke mumbled, frowning down at his food.

“It gets annoying after a while,” Yukiko said, trying to sound consoling, but it only caused Yosuke to sulk even more.

“Agh, never mind!” he grumbled, tearing into his cup ramen as a way to end the conversation.

So it was that, a few months later, the information was there in the back of Souji’s head that Yosuke wanted to get notes in his locker. A few months, a few ventures into the TV world, and a whole lot of hanging out with Yosuke had caused Souji to develop a bit of a crush on him. He knew it was dumb for a multitude of reasons, many of which were Yosuke’s vehement dislike of anything and everything even slightly gay. So, Souji decided the best thing to do would be to just ignore his feelings. It would only be a few months, anyway, before he had to go back to the city.

That was, of course, way easier said than done. The more time he spent with Yosuke the more his feelings grew, and the more time he wanted to spend with Yosuke, and the more his feelings grew... It was a vicious cycle, and Souji knew that if he didn’t do something about it he was going to just end up blurting out his feelings one day and ruin what was turning into the best friendship he’d ever had. And then one night, folding his stack of colorful paper into origami, he arrived at the answer to his problems: the paper in his hands. He couldn’t tell Yosuke how he felt - directly. But he could tell him, in a way at least, and probably boost his self-confidence at the same time. So he grabbed a pen and got to work.

He knew his idea had been a good one when, the next day, Yosuke showed up to homeroom grinning his ass off.

“What’s got you in a good mood this morning, Hanamura?” Chie grumbled at him. He reached into his bag and tugged out a piece of light orange paper, which Souji recognized right away, and waved it around in front of himself.

“I got a confession in my locker!” he announced to them.

“Really?” Chie asked, reaching for the paper. She read it, blinking. “Huh. You really did.”

“What’s with that ‘really’? You don’t think I’m worth confessing to?” he asked.

“I think whoever wrote this must have some kind of brain damage,” she joked, and Yosuke pouted. He turned to Souji.

“What do you think, Partner? Think it’s legit?” he asked. Even though he knew damn well what was on the paper, Souji took it and read over it again. He’d made sure not to use his usual handwriting, just in case Yosuke paid attention, but the words were still clear and legible:

‘I really like you a lot. You are cute, and funny, and nice to be around.’

That was all that he’d allowed himself to write. There were probably about half a dozen crumpled up pieces of orange origami paper in his wastebasket back in his room, where he’d realized after the fact that he’d written something that could point to his identity.

“It isn’t signed,” Yukiko, who had leaned over Souji’s shoulder to read, pointed out. Yosuke frowned at that, taking the note back from Souji.

“Yeah, I know. I’m really curious about who wrote it,” he sighed. “But hey, someone out there likes me, right? They’re bound to want to confess face-to-face some time!”

“Maybe,” Chie replied, with a shrug. Yosuke started to respond, but Kashiwagi entered the classroom at that point, and all discussion came to an immediate halt.

The first note had felt good to write. It was nice to get that off of his chest, even if Souji knew that Yosuke would never find out it was from him. So a couple of weeks later he found himself sitting down at his work table again, another piece of orange origami paper in front of him.

‘I still really like you. You’re a good person, and nobody appreciates that.’

And then, a couple of weeks later,

‘I still like you. I wish I could tell you in person.’

“What do you think she means by that?” Yosuke asked. Souji refrained from sighing. Yosuke had been referring to the ‘mystery person’ slipping notes into his locker as ‘she’ for a while now, and Souji couldn’t exactly correct him, but...it was a big reminder of why he was having to write the notes in the first place.

“She’s probably too embarrassed to tell you in person,” Chie explained.

“Maybe…” Yosuke replied, with a frown.

“Perhaps the person writing the notes thinks that they aren’t your type?” Souji suggested, before he could think the better of it. Yosuke arched an eyebrow.

“Really? I mean...I guess?” he asked. He thought for a second, and then looked horrified. “Oh no, you don’t think it’s Hanako, do you?”

“I don’t think you’re her type,” Chie replied. Yosuke let out a relieved breath in response.

“Yeah, the handwriting doesn’t look like hers anyway. It looks like it should belong to a pretty girl,” Yosuke remarked. He sighed. “Ah, oh well. Maybe one day she’ll confess in person.”

“Maybe,” Souji replied. With a frown.

‘I’m afraid to meet you in person, because you won’t like me.’

“See, it’s just like Souji said! She’s afraid that you won’t like her because she isn’t your type,” Chie said, handing the latest note back to a frowning Yosuke.

“Well how does she know?” Yosuke replied, with a groan.

“Maybe they aren’t a she, Yosuke-sempai,” Kanji spoke up, halfway around a piece of melon pan that he was eating. Yosuke’s eyes widened, and he looked alarmed.

“Wh-wh-what makes you think that?” he demanded, stalking over to Kanji, orange note in hand.

“I dunno, just a hunch,” Kanji mumbled in response, swallowing a big bite of the bread before continuing. “I mean, why do you think the person giving you these notes is a girl?”

“Be-because!” Yosuke sputtered. “I mean, the handwriting is too nice to belong to a guy!”

“Sempai has nice handwriting,” Rise pointed out. Souji felt a sudden panic start to set in when Yosuke turned to look at him.

“Okay, but Partner’s the exception to the rule,” Yosuke replied. “Anyway, there’s no way some guy is writing me love letters, right? It’s just a shy girl with no self confidence or something.”

They all returned to their lunches after that, making other small talk. Luckily Souji didn’t usually talk much, so nobody noticed if he was a little quieter than usual.

After that, Souji resolved to stop leaving letters in Yosuke’s locker. Someone was bound to see him eventually anyway, so it was probably better if he just stopped before he got caught. He kept writing the notes, though, because even if the intended recipient wasn’t ever going to see them, it still made him feel a little better to get his feelings out in the open. At first he was just balling them up and throwing them away, but eventually he reasoned that he might as well do something with them, so he started folding them into paper cranes. A couple of months came and went, Yosuke lamented about how he wasn’t getting any more notes, Chie joked that he’d finally scared off his would-be girlfriend, and all was forgotten.

Until November.

Yosuke was over for what felt like the thousandth time for a study session, in preparation for their upcoming final exams. He’d been over so many times before and had never found the orange cranes. He’d poked in to what felt like every corner of Souji’s room once, looking for his ‘stash’ as he put it, and hadn’t found them. And even if he did find them, chances were he wouldn’t think anything was weird enough to examine them closely or unfold one, right? Boy, was Souji wrong.

He came back upstairs after leaving a pot of curry on the stove to simmer, ready to get Yosuke back on the task of studying. He assumed, correctly, that rather than studying on his own Yosuke had gotten bored and started doing something else. He just hadn’t been expecting to see Yosuke standing by his desk, holding an unfolded crane and staring at it with wide eyes.

“S-Souji,” Yosuke stammered, looking up from the unfolded crane to him, and Souji felt himself go a little pale. “You wrote this?”

He wanted to turn right back around and run back down the stairs. Instead he leaned back against the doorframe, biting his lip.

“Yeah,” he answered, his voice tight. He managed to keep his eyes on Yosuke’s face for a few seconds, before having to avert his gaze to the floor. Yosuke was quiet for an unnervingly long time.

“The note says,” Yosuke started, hesitating for a second before continuing. “It says ‘I’ll never tell you this, but you mean the world to me. You’re my best friend, and I could never ruin that’. Souji...”

“I’m sorry,” Souji replied. He wanted to just slide down the doorframe and sit on the floor, but managed to keep himself standing up. “I know you wanted those notes to be from a girl.”

“I…” Yosuke started. He sighed. Souji heard the sound of rustling paper, and looked up to find Yosuke kneeling beside the open drawer, unfolding another crane.

“What are you doing?” he asked. Yosuke frowned, but read the note.

“‘I still really like you. I hope you are happy one day, even if it isn’t with me.’ Partner...” More rustling. “‘I’m so scared that one day you’ll figure all of this out and you’ll hate me.’ ‘I love watching you in the TV world, you’re so energetic and optimistic.’ ‘I want to tell you all of this so badly, but I don’t want to lose my best friend.’” A sigh. “Partner.”

“I won’t be shocked if you hate me,” Souji said, still looking at the floor. “Yes, I wrote all of the notes, this whole time.” He realized that he was blocking the doorway, so he stepped inside the room, at a loss for what to do. He ended up just sitting down on the floor and putting his head in his hands. “You can...I won’t be mad if you leave, Yosuke.”

“I’m not gonna leave,” Yosuke replied, his voice quiet. There was more rustling, and Souji lifted his head to see Yosuke determinedly opening another crane. He didn’t read the message aloud this time, just reached back into the drawer and opened another, and another. Eventually, he had a stack of rumpled up orange papers beside him. He finally looked up at Souji after reading what was presumably the last crane.

“I’m gonna be honest,” Yosuke said, after a long silence. Souji wanted to look away, because he was pretty sure that Yosuke as about to tell him that their friendship was over. Yosuke swallowed audibly before continuing, his voice sounding strained. “I...I really appreciate all the good things you said about me.”

Huh…?

“It made me feel good about myself when I got the notes in my locker, before,” Yosuke continued. “And I’m kind of...I’m glad it’s been you this whole time, ‘cause I’ve gotta be honest, Partner, if it’s between some random girl that doesn’t even know me that well and you…” He sighed. “Augh, I’m messing this up.” To Souji’s surprise, he dropped the paper and stood up, making his way over to where Souji was sitting in a heap on the floor and kneeling down in front of him. Souji watched, baffled, as he reached down and took Souji’s hands in his.

“I know I’ve been kind of a jerk about things like this and this makes me a total hypocrite but I like you too, Partner.”

Souji just stared up at him in shock for a few minutes, sure he was dreaming. Until Yosuke started to look nervous, he wasn’t entirely sure that he wasn’t, in fact.

“Can you pinch me? Because I must be dreaming,” he finally asked, and Yosuke frowned.

“You’re not dreaming,” he replied. Then he blushed and leaned forward, mumbling “I’ll prove it”, before kissing a shocked Souji. He couldn’t look at Souji when he pulled away.

“If I’m dreaming, I hope I never wake up,” Souji replied, after processing the fact that Yosuke had just kissed him.

“You’re not dreaming!” Yosuke exclaimed, with a huff. That seemed to snap Souji out of his shocked state. He reached up and cupped one of Yosuke’s bright red cheeks, and Yosuke finally looked him in the eyes.

“Is this really how you feel?” he asked. Yosuke somehow turned redder, but he nodded. “And you’re okay with us both being guys?”

“Only because it’s you, Partner,” Yosuke mumbled, ducking his head in embarrassment. Souji finally, finally felt himself smile. He shifted until he had his legs under him, tugging Yosuke up and into a hug. Yosuke buried his face in Souji’s shoulder with a relieved sigh, wrapping his arms around Souji in return.

“So you’re not disappointed that the person writing all those notes didn’t turn out to be Hanako?” he asked, and he felt Yosuke chuckle.

“Not in the slightest,” he replied. “Though I’ve gotta say, Partner, you really do have nice handwriting.”
