#fruits basket original character

[the-sage-libriomancer]

Shigure's relationship with Kyo drives me crazy. he doesn't hate Kyo in the slightest - in fact, he pities Kyo, and not in the condescending "oh you poor little boy, cursed to be a horrible, disgusting monster" sort of way that everyone else does. Shigure pities Kyo for the reason he should be pitied: he's just a kid caught up in a system so inhumane it can't possibly be survived without some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms.

and it drives me crazy because - listen, Shigure is the only zodiac member who's emotionally aware enough to see the other zodiac members as exactly what they are. he knows Yuki is a severely traumatized kid who projects all of his self-hatred on a single convenient target. he knows Akito is really a scared little girl with a raging god complex (literally) and no concept of a healthy relationship. and he knows Kyo is a regular-ass human being who doesn't deserve to be locked up for the rest of his life just because some arbitrary system says so. he KNOWS it's stupid. he KNOWS it's ridiculous and unfair. and he has to share a house with Kyo knowing that Kyo is living with a sword over his head, hating himself and hating others in perfect tandem because he has no other way of coping with the insane amounts of negativity he's had to deal with his entire life.

but the thing about Shigure is that he KNOWS all of this, and the same time he doesn't really CARE. he feels sorry for Kyo, but an apathetic sort of pity, a disinterested "this is how it is. such a shame." sort of pity. in some ways he's worse than the other zodiacs because he DOES see Kyo as a person, someone he likes being around even, but he still considers Kyo below his attention because all his focus is on Akito and breaking the curse. and sure, once the curse is broken Kyo will theoretically be set free with the rest of them, but that's more of a coincidental side effect than anything. despite being in a much more dangerous and precarious mental space AND comfortably in Shigure's reach, Kyo is about as much a priority for Shigure as Ritsu or Momiji.

and it drives me CRAZY because i think Shigure does start actively caring about Kyo as the series goes on, but it's hard to tell when that happens and to what extent. when Kazuma told Shigure he planned to reveal Kyo's true form and Shigure said he was going too far - whose sake was it for? was Shigure trying to protect Kyo, who would be hideously traumatized/emotionally scarred by such a cruel betrayal? was he trying to protect Kyo and Tohru's relationship, which was still formulating and might, under such severe testing, ultimately end up damaged beyond repair? was he only trying to protect Tohru, who wasn't ready to be burdened by such a horrible aspect of the curse so soon, or perhaps simply didn't deserve it? or was it all for the sake of himself, trying to protect his still-forming plans of using Tohru's positive effect on the Sohmas to break the curse?

Shigure cares about Kyo, but they're not close and Kyo clearly isn't a priority. he treats Kyo like a person - offering him genuine advice, teasing him like he teases anyone else, even speaking up on his behalf once or twice - and yet he's too entrenched in the long game to spare much active interest in Kyo. for a very long time, he doesn't care about Kyo the way he cares about Yuki or Tohru, and it's never made clear when exactly that changed. and the thing that gets me about this whole situation is that right from the start, Shigure is in a position where he can meet Kyo at his level - as equals, just one human being to another - but he doesn't, because Shigure is a chessmaster, Shigure is someone who observes and calculates, Shigure never steps in unless one of his chess pieces makes a wrong move and he absolutely has to.

it drives me crazy. Shigure drives me crazy. this series drives me so so crazy.

A Question For Fanfic Writers

So OCs are great and all, but does anybody else just kinda sneakily add in characters from other series to fill a spot?

Like a mini-crossover?

Example: I'm working on a project right now and I needed a random name for a therapist. It's an anime fandom, takes place in Japan and everything, so I need a Japanese name. I remember Honda is a common surname and I consider that Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) would make one hell of a counselor. Get to thinking about what kind of advice she could give this specific character and, "Aw, hell, this dynamic is adorable, but I don't want to commit to a whole crossover to explore it."

So now I just have someone referred to as Doc Honda with some suspiciously familiar character traits appearing in this fic.

Does anybody else do this?

What OCs appear in your fanfics that are actually are a cameo/easter egg from other fandoms and you've just been waiting to see if somebody notices?

Bonus Question: Do you also make use of random background characters that appeared briefly for one scene and have no further bearing on the plot?

[festivalofthe12]

:D So!!! I mentioned previously that I've been into Fruits Basket for a really, really stupid-long time, all the way back to the 00s, right?

Well, I just remembered that I kept a whole bunch of Livejournal icons from back then and still have them on my computer!!!

I'm not gonna post all of them because there are A Lot (and yet I am vividly aware that this isn't all of them because one particular one of Kakeru giving a thumbs up and subtitled 'This post is Kakeru approved!' has for some reason stuck in my goddamn head to periodically reappear for no reason for over a decade) but I'll share some up top and then a few under the cut, so please enjoy for maximum LJ fandom nostalgia~

Edit: And possibly more in a reblog because there is a 30 image limit but I love these all so badly???????

[tears-that-heal]

If there was an anime character that is most like me, I’d definitely choose Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket (2001) series. 🍙 ❤️ 🐀 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

૮₍˶ •. • ⑅₎ა hello peeps, i'm kuma, she/her and i'm bi-ace. these are a few rules that nobody needs to go out of their way whilst following.

๑՞⇢ blog rules :

✤ do not plagiarize or paraphrase my content, please. i work hard to make these fics and it would just be downright disrespectful to steal someone's credit. don't do that to anyone, you guys.

✤ do not request 18+ content. while i'm comfortable writing mildly suggestive scenes, a makeout is as far as i will go.

✤ some of the characters i write will possess headcanon traits. which include asd and adhd, both of which i have.

✤ be respectful of others and their boundaries while having discussions. it goes without saying that debates are really interesting but lets not tear each other down. a little positivity goes a long way.

✤ don't be offended if i am a bit late to reply. i am a high-school student and have a life outside social media. with my entrance exam studies already starting, i have very little spare time, majority of which i spend on tumblr.

✤ i love writing ocs too, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of those. you can also ask for oc works but those aren't seen often and i may get the characterisation wrong.

✤ i write platonic pairings just as much as romantic ones, if not more. so don't hesitate to ask for some good ol' friendship and sibling fics.

๑՞⇢ fandoms i write for are :

tokyo revengers [mikey, draken, baji, chifuyu, mitsuya, kazutora, inupi, kokonoi, shinichiro, haruchiyo, emma, hinata, senju, kawata twins, izana, kakucho...]
