[pretentiouswreckingball]

Send me a 🍍 and I’ll tell you which fruit I think you are

[palamig]

So in honor of the Fruits Basket reboot who would you say are your fave Furuba characters and ships (canon) and why? Least fave Furuba characters and canon ships and why?

Hello! Thank you for this ask, anon!

I honestly don’t want to play favorites because I love literally all of them. Except who am I kidding. I’ve been a hoe for Kyo since I was like 10. It’s been 14 years later and I’m still a hoe for Kyo. *Facepalm*

But no seriously. I love Kyo. He’s the character I can kind of relate to the most, the second being Tohru. Kyo is filled with a lot of self-loathing, the origins of which can be traced from a very nasty, abusive childhood (disclaimer alert, I didn’t have a nasty abusive childhood but I have experienced my own struggles with acceptance). Children grow from the kind of environment they’re born to and the way they’re treated. I love kids and that’s why ಥ Ĺ̯ ಥ Kyo’s flashbacks really killed me. 

Kyo is a good kitty. When Haru got lost going back from the bathroom in elementary school, Kyo fuckin held his hand and led him back to the classroom because he is a good fuckin kitty. Kyo wanted acceptance, and maybe love and affection too. But he was treated like shit. Because he was treated like shit, he thought of himself so lowly Tohru’s sincerity at wanting to be his friend surprised and probably freaked the fuck out of him. I’m kind of like that too. People with zero self-esteem will struggle with every compliment, every form of affection or attention throw their way. I still do. And Kyo does too. He’s a tsundere within reason lol. A lot of people have said this in other posts scattered on Tumblr, but Kyo struggles with accepting Tohru’s gestures because no one has ever been genuine to him before except for Kazuma (and Kyoko).

And that’s why Kyoru is my ultimate favorite ship. Kyo is like an angry storm, and Tohru is the mountain that knows how to withstand it, waiting patiently until the sun peeks back out from the grey clouds. Tohru doesn’t change Kyo, and Kyo doesn’t change for Tohru. Kyo changes because of her. These nuances are important because they show us the nature of Kyo and Tohru’s relationship. 

Tohru is not a girl who jumps into people’s lives and fixes them. (Although spoiler alert, at the latter part of the manga, she actively tries to fix Kyo’s curse). People fix themselves because of her. Yuki explains this well when he realizes how he really feels about her. Tohru was like a springboard that helped him start building a normal life. Tohru is inherently kind. Before anything else, I’d like to say that Tohru’s kindness is not a fault of crappy, unrealistic writing. Tohrus exist in this world too. People who aren’t judgmental, people who are forgiving of all your faults, people who sacrifice themselves for the ones they love without protest, people who are genuinely kind and accepting. My best friend is a Tohru and I will Die for her.

Kyo did not change for Tohru. He changed not just for Tohru, but for himself too. I think that’s important to point out. When you change for someone, it means you want them to like you. But the change that happens in Kyo is much deeper than just for the purpose of Tohru liking him back. He healed himself for himself and for her. Towards the latter part of the manga, when he was already attempting to get his life back on track before pursuing her again, we can argue that he did try to get his shit together for her. But the Kyo at this point in the manga has already drastically changed from the Angsty Teen we saw at the beginning. He’s a better version of himself by now–a person who has come to terms with who he is, even though there are still people unable to move on. Sometimes you can’t always change the way people think about you, but what you can change is the way you look at yourself.

And that’s why I say Kyo changed because of her. Her unconditional love and kindness let him forgive himself just a little. She helped him realize what he was and what he wasn’t. And like what Yuki said, maybe all we need is to just know that there’s one person out there who can accept us for who we are. That is Tohru to Kyo. Tohru is one of the very few handful of people who treated Kyo like a human being, who made him feel that being the cat wasn’t a sin. 

At the same time, Kyo is GOOD for Tohru. The fault of being a “giving” person is that you give so much to others you forget to leave some for yourself. All Tohru knew is how to service other people’s needs. She cooks and cleans at home. She prefers doing things for other people. For instance, whenever she visits shishou, she usually ends up doing all the work, even though she’s a visitor. This isn’t a problem. There are people who derive happiness from servicing others. But I guess this affected the way she thought about herself. Because she prefers tending to others, it feels weird when it’s her turn to be taken care of. When she failed the test Yuki tutored her for, she took it so badly she ended up crying and getting sick. She hates being a burden to others. And that’s why she masks her sadness in fake happiness, like when Hiro had made that comment about her mother at the vacation house.

At this point, Kyo is Officially Attached to Tohru. He thinks about Tohru’s wellbeing probably all the time, because hey this is the person who still loves me even after I kind of treated her badly during the first few parts of the manga and even after the whole crazy chapter 33 ordeal. She’s precious to me and I want her to never be sad and always be happy. And that’s why he notices. He notices All Of It. All her little habits, the changes in her expressions, whenever she feels sad or uncomfortable. Whenever something is bothering her. Whenever there’s something she needs. Whenever she’s not there. There are so many instances of this scattered all over the manga so it’s hard to cite examples. (Honestly I’m 100% Kyo because I don’t usually trust people and when people gain my trust I turn from bitch who the fuck- to Bitch your happiness is my number 1 priority). Kyo wants to take care of her.He wants to be that shoulder she can cry on because he loves her and he wants her to be happy. He will do anything for her and will let her do anything to him, i.e. hit him in the face with her bag lol, if it would make her feel better. Talking to and simply being Kyo also makes Tohru super happy. She forgets what she’s sad about whenever she’s with him. Like dam. I love this ship fuck

And that, kids, ends my TED talk about why I’m a hoe for Kyo and Kyoru. 

As for least favorite characters. It goes without saying that Kyo’s father can buRN IN HELL BITCH 

But in all seriousness, I try not to have, like, a “least favorite.” So I hope you don’t mind if I refrain from answering that latter question ᕦ( ͡͡~͜ʖ ͡° )ᕤ
