some other adventures from this have been

three CONSECUTIVE scenes of kuwabara going "you're NOT gonna die on me again urameshi :((" during genkai's tournament. they JUST cut to him for that and then cut away it's SICKENING. like heyy reminder that kuwabara was traumatized a bit by yusuke's death teehee and then back to like. exploding shuriken fights

realizing how much they lean into the "fight me fight me fight me" stuff in the rando arc and how much less that's the case with time because like. they actually become friends who have other stuff to talk about now :)

great beasts/maze castle/saint beasts/WHATEVER arc (and genkai's tourny) has just. they're telling each other to shut up Constantly like even more than i thought

i think i mentioned this a while back but im working on an "every kuwameshi" video right (yes it's ridiculous i know somebody take them away from me) and i just need to say im so fucking sick of editing the saint beasts arc </3 pls i love that one normally but this section of the video is like. 70% silent group shots it's so bad and not fun to watch or edit and i hate it :[

#ok i know i said in the tags that i was really committed to the 'EVERY kuwameshi' thing but i might get rid of the shots where thhey're not #like. posing or interacting or talking or anything bc that's just not really worth it #it'd make it faster and probably better to watch #but i'm also worried that my focus on condensing it when i know it's gonna be such a long video #means that it'll be kind of an overwhelming barrage of content otherwise. which wouldn't be good for a long video like this #so group shots like that can create natural breaks. idk i'm not sure #i have not done this before :/ and i hopefully won't do it again with a series this long like holy hell #i will also say that some of the magic of kuwameshi is a little lost in that just because you have no point of reference for like #how they act w each other vs with everyone else. both in similarities and differences #you don't get a good grasp on how common these moments are relatively speaking and you don't get a great sense of their group dynamics #and it actually makes me kind of sad to hone in on only those two because like. everyone is so damn special there #i don't like yyh bc i think kuwabara and yusuke should kiss or whatever it's bc of how well realized these relationships (esp the #friendships and not-quite-friendships) are. they're so multifaceted that focusing on only two characters robs the audience of the context #those moments sit in. kuwameshi + hiei vs kuwameshi + botan vs kuwameshi + genkai are all different and special dynamics and by clipping #only those two it kind of flattens things a little. at least if you don't make an effort to pay attention to the remaining context while #watching. however i love those two and highlighting their relationship specifically doesn't inherently mean that they're the only ones #i think worth your time nor the only characters i care to see them interact with. yyh is very special to me and i don't want to diminish it #by reducing it to something with a couple of peak homoerotic relationships. it's far far better than that #however. since this is a tiny fandom and kuwameshi isn't exactly the most popular dynamic in the world i feel a little better doing so #because it's like.. it's not as if it'll sway the fandom's conversations THAT hard away from all the stuff we love about yyh right?#such that the ship is known before the media itself. at least that's what i hope. there's pieces of media i'm attached to mostly for certai #characters or dynamics and that's usually limited to media i'm not That into. but yyh is MINE and i don't want anyone to think this is all #about it that matters to me. ugh idk why i'm getting so worked up about this i just. don't want it to be reduced to uwu gayboy stuff ig #like yeah uwu gayboys you're not wrong i just. there's More Going On There #and although i like to think i focus on the Other Stuff a decent amount in all the media that means a lot to me it's very important that i #make sure to do that with yyh. i guess.#anyway im also thinking about making a kuwabara cat mention video. i have like 8 lines/scenes i'm thinking of lol #(there's more than i thought so ig i'll wait and as i work keep an eye out for more of em)
