I feel like Senku was an avid anime/manga fan so he was all too familiar with misogynistic tropes such as ‘female character who is head over heels in love with the male MC who doesn’t care about her’. Obviously he hated it (we stan a feminist king), so when he first met Kohaku and she started going on about ‘falling for him’ and stuff, he got genre-savvy for a second and kind of panicked like ‘crap, dang it, this is it, isn’t it?? fuck that, how do I avoid this??’

He was SO relieved when it turned out she wasn’t that kind of character… And then came Luna. x)

#but then again he was on the article of death when luna asked him to be her bf so he had other things to worry about #rambles #this probably doesn’t make any sense #like senku obv wouldn’t actually believe he’s in a manga #but with the constant pop-culture references he makes i figured such a thought could’ve crossed his mind #additionally he is aroace #that’s not really related but i thought i’d mention it #no but you don’t understand how important it is to me that senku and kohaku are so aggressively platonic friends in canon #i mean if you ship them it’s fine of course #but the fact that kohaku could’ve SO EASILY been written to be senku’s love interest but wasn’t is making me feel so many good feelings #do you guys realise how RARE that is?????#they don’t even get different love interests either like #they’re both just perfectly content being single #i can’t be the only one to be so ridiculously happy about it #dr stone #kohaku #luna wright #ishigami senku #senku ishigami
