#haruhi likes the chase

[aparticularbandit]

-starts playlist for dr/haruhi crossover-

-immediately has a better series title and has to go change it-

Gonna call it That Faint Green Light. It's a Gatsby reference!

...still have no idea what I'm going to call the first fic, though.

[dearestagony]

Me seeing an Elle Woods post on the dash. My muse for her: skyrockets. Suddenly my brain goes, I want to add her here. Because I'm never on Scoobynatral.

Then Remembers I made this gif of her and Warner.

@safetypinned :: tagging you because this is in relation to the post you reblogged. XD

[tamaharu]

to think as a child tamaki was exposed to the notion that if he wanted to keep his family together he had to sacrifice himself to a fate where love was impossible. and yet he couldnt stop the love from leaking out until it touched everyone he met, everyone who loved him in return. GOD!!

[emptyjunior]

Can I say how much I love how Ouran High School handles the rich boy/poor girl in love trope. 

Like I absolutely believe it’s discussions about classism and elitism to this Day still hold up! 

I will admit there is so much weird stuff in ouran😭, but we see the Handsome ‘Unlimited Money’ Male Lead a LOT in anime and I feel ouran gets a lot of points of the characterisation SO right, that a lot of other shows just don’t! 

Ouran does the whole love story/harem/all the boys want brown hair girl that we project on, trope. Like they do that, but they show that at the foundation, the root of all of it, those rich boys are JEALOUS. They aren’t approaching Haruhi with the need to protect and own her, at their core the rich are envious of her! Even though they have everything, they want what she has! 

Like we see in the real world with how the rich cosplay as poor! And say "ohhhh I'm so broke please venmo me for lunch" and wear their ripped jeans and strained sweaters and take pictures at the met gala with a box of McDonalds fries in their hand. 

The classist comments made towards Haruhi ARE comedic relief, but the joke isn’t on characters like Haruhi, the joke is on THEM. 

They are the ones who can’t do anything! They are the ones who are stilted and emotionally closed off! They are the ones who can’t make an instant coffee or go to a mall without help! 

THAT is why Haruhi is the center of this harem, why she is the one they’re chasing. They are jealous of her insight and world experience from living independently, from living a REAL life. That is her enviable trait. Haruhi GETS people! And they don’t. Their wealth has isolated them and now there is a barrier between these characters and the rest of the world and they have no idea how to navigate it. 

And this is the foundation of 90% of the problems/conflict in the show! 

The holiday ep when Hikaru has feelings because Haruhi reconnects with Nice Guy Arai? Hikaru says he doesn’t like this guy for all these reasons and most of them are like ‘he’s just some nobody from nothing who only knows Haruhi cause they went to some stupid public school together’. Like okay? Haruhi has all of those ‘bad traits’ as well but you still seem to like her?  

Because it’s not about that, it’s never about that, it’s not even about the love rival/romance angle (at least not completely).  

Hikaru is scared and embarrassed! He already was when they got there, when these rich boys crashed Haruhi’s summer to find out she is an employee here and she is working with her own two hands. This is not a break for her! And then he’s so worried when Haruhi and Arai find each other because what they have is so untouchable to him. Same background, same class, they can meet each other’s needs! And know the other's needs! And this is a chasm that Hikaru has no idea how to cross so he starts lashing out. 

And that episode concludes with Hikaru being told about Haruhi’s fear of thunderstorms, finally actually listening and empathizing with what that means, and then going to her and giving her the stuff she needs to deal with that problem (blanket, headphones, support, protection etc.). 

He has to LEARN that none of those poor people inherently know all this secret knowledge! They just care and ask each other stuff! You can ask Haruhi what she's afraid of and then help her with that! It was always this simple! Just because you’re not the same class as her and knowing her isn’t as easy as it is with people the same as you, doesn’t mean you’ll never know! Learn! Listen! Keep trying! 

Ouran shows their rich characters being hurt by their wealth. Their elitists mindset does NOT benefit them and they’re only narratively rewarded when they break out of it, THAT’S why the arcs are so good. 

(And also while we’re here, I LOVE when they do eps that show Tamaki’s character is actually a parallel of Haruhi’s. Tamaki grew up as an illegitimate child, hidden away in France with his mother. He knows what it is to not be at the top of the food chain, and he learns the skills to keep living! Tamaki is a survivor in a world run by a man who was ashamed of him and did not want him. That can destroy a child, but Tamaki doesn’t let it. He learns how to work people and he learns that belief in yourself is the most powerful asset someone can have. And this is the life experience he imparts onto Kyoya and this SAVES Kyoya, who was barreling towards a black pit of despair and chasing his father’s shadow. The ‘poor’ characters of this show have power that the rich people desperately desire, and in the end they learn that it’s not something you take it’s something you build for yourself.) 

[anime-fan-05]

You don't have to but can you do the Hosts (from OHSHC) but not Haruhi when they find out their crush (female if you may) is being teased by their admirers because they're often together?

Ouran HighSchool Host Club ~Finding out their crush is being bullied by their fans~

Manga/anime: Ouran HighSchool Host Club

Warnings: nothing

(Y/N): your name

(S/O): significant other

Premise

S/O is walking calmly in the garden of Ouran HighSchool, enjoying the light breeze which ruffles his hair.

However, sounds of sobbing suddenly distracts him from the peace he was feeling: (Y/N), the girl he's madly in love with, is crying in a remote corner, with her clothes torn and her hair messed up.

S. Tamaki

He'll immediately run to you, shocked

When he finds out his fans have reduced you like that, he'll be shocked and furious: not only the girl he loves is destroyed, both physically and mentally, but she's so also due to him

Nevertheless, what will shock you the most will be the fact he'll be very quiet

It'll probably take him several days to find a solution, and he'll ask the other Hosts what to do (especially Haruhi, as she's a girl)

After a week of reflection, he'll make an announcement in front of all his fans: "I'm very flattered by your love, but what you did to my friend -he'll be tempted to say girlfriend- is unacceptable. If something like this happens again, we'll be forced to close our Host Club."

O. Kyoya

He'll probably be the one who will react coldest, but that doesn't mean he'll be less affected than the others

He'll sit next to you and give you a handkerchief to dry your tears in a rather cold way even if he'll be suffering inside

Then, he'll help you to go to wash your face, and he'll give you his clothes to change you

It'll then seem he won't take action, but in reality he'll threaten write to all his fans involved

From that day on, he'll stay closer to you in school's corridors and always accompany you home and to school to prevent something like that from happening again

H. Hikaru

He won't have the best reaction: as soon as he notices how reduced you are, he'll almost snap, and he'll almost lose his mind and freak out when he finds out he's the cause of what happened to you

In fact, he'll probably increase your crying, and he'll feel terribly bad about it

However, after about ten minutes he'll calm down, taking a deep breath, and hold you in his arms, rubbing your back and murmuring some apology to you

He'll ask his brother and Kyoya for help to find out who did that to you and Tamaki to chase everyone involved out of school

If Tamaki can't do it, he'll always be close to you, even going so far as to let you stay with him when he's at the Host Club

H. Kaoru

His first thought will be to calm you down: he won't care why you're crying, he'll just hug you tightly

After calming you down, he'll try to convince you to tell him who did that to you

When you tell him that, he'll freeze for a moment, but he'll soon recover and come back to hold you tighter than before, telling you how brave and strong you are, but also to come to him if it happens again

He'll ask his brother to help him to protect you: from then on, Kaoru will stay close to you like a bodyguard whenever he can, Hikaru will watch you from afar when his twin can't be close to you

He'll also make a promise to himself, that's never to let anyone hurt you like that again

H. Mitsukuni (Honey)

He'll immediately run towards you, hugging you tightly

When he finds out those who did that to you are his fans, his face will darken, and he'll break your embrace, give you Usa-chan and run away to those responsible for your situation

After arriving at his fans, he'll tell them to leave you alone, appearing calm on the outside and behaving as usual, but seething with anger on the inside

After this, he'll return to you to take Usa-chan back and whisper compliments to you, so that you won't think about the words of your attackers

He won't let any more unpleasant things happen to you, because he's sweet and kind, but if someone he loves gets hurt by someone...

M. Takashi (Mori)

At first he won't know how to react, so he'll stare at you for a few seconds and then give you some embarrassing pats on the head

"Y/N." "…Yes?" "What's wrong?"

After you explain what happened, he'll nod and awkwardly wrap his arm around you protectively

The next day (he'll have had to go to ask the other Hosts for advice and their approval on what he intends to do) he'll go to his fans and tell them to leave you alone

He won't care what happens next or if they're no longer his fans: for him the important thing is your happiness and security

💮 Rules 💮 Masterlist 💮

[lovelyyandereaddictionpoint]

LOVED your reader tamaki haruhi. Can I have some ideas for excuses haruhi would make for tamaki? Like laying it on thick that he's such a sweet and caring person (and rich and powerful)

Also, for a separate idea, do you think haruhi would manipulate tamaki / the host club in reader's favor? Like getting them to buy reader's stuff. Thanks I love your writing!!!

Yandere Haruhi Fuijioka and Tamaki Suoh (2)

Of course

Tamaki has so much power and money 

He’s a force to be reckoned with even among the upper class

So if at his suggestion a certain student might be expelled or even drop out of the school because of bullying

If you even begin to suspect that Tamaki is behind any of this Haruhi will assure you there’s no way

Taking a page out of Kyoya’s book she’ll create some mad up reason as to why this is completely unrelated

Or when the classmate who confessed to you 

 was called away by Tamaki later on in the day 

And somehow ended up having drowned in the fountain

It wasn’t Tamaki

No no 

Haruhi will cite some other students who bullied them that must have gone too far

Though it’s not likely he’ll go that far normally

But sometimes love just makes you do crazy things

She won’t tell you about all his great traits 

Otherwise you’d notice far too fast

For so long she’s been pushing him away 

She can’t possibly stop now

Besides she kind of likes the hurt look he gives her when she writes him off

But she absolutely is willing to manipulate Tamaki, The Host club, Lobelia 

Anyone she needs to if it means spoiling you

She’ll harp on anyone’s desire to gain her favor by practically demanding they invite you too

But if you’re busy she’ll just try and bring home things you like

“Oi Tamaki.”

“Yes Haruhi?”

“Did you get my fancy tuna?”

“Yes of course I did!”

“And (Y/n)’s favorite food?”

“Yes how could I forget~”

“Good boy.”

Or she’ll convince the host club if they’re still fighting for her affections to practically smother you with attention

What better way to chase off confessors and make the host club look strange in your eyes

“Y’know I think I could be in a relationship if I knew my partner could care for (Y/n).”

“But I thought Haruhi only loved (Y/n)?”

“....I’d be willing to be in a relationship with anyone who can care for (Y/n).”

“…”

“...”

“...”

“Move I’m going to find them first!”

“Not before me!”

“Fighting is so immature. You should just let your senior do this.”

“That’s right which means (Y/n)’s mine!”

But don’t forget about Tamaki 

Before Haruhi came along those in the host club are loyal to him

He’s their over caring leader of the Host Club

That and he’s oh so great at schmoozing

Whether you’re into that or indifferent like Haruhi

“Come (Y/n) allow me to show you the glorious love of the Host Club!”

“Oh uh okay…”

“Don’t worry I will let you hold my hand if you’re nervous.”

He’s not as composed as Haruhi

He’s a lot more unhinged

He might of cried when someone else kissed Haruhi 

but it would not be the same with you

After officially gaining Haruhi’s love he’s not all that willing to wait again

Aren’t you his darling too 

Wouldn’t you like him too spoil you with fancy tuna too or whatever you like

But refusing won’t end well 

He’d much rather you try and get food or money from him than just outright refuse him

Without Haruhi’s intervention he’ll end up flying you to some island and moving you into another mansion of his

But thankfully Haruhi’s convinced him to at least let you live out your school years

But the duo are truly a force to be reckoned with

You won’t be getting away anytime soon

And neither will those that try and take your attention from them

[charlotteoccasionally]

i’ve read over 100 ky//man fics, here are ones i like ❤️

(WARNING: KY/MAN, OOC, OPINIONS, CRINGE - not the authors, me for spending so much time reading)

To Be Wanted by Verimakea - my most recent fave, i love it smmmmm. it’s a historical western au. kyle is a bounty hunter, cartman is a criminal, they get snowed in and shit progresses. it’s too freaking good. // 56,400 6/6 chapters

Abraham’s Son by Satine89 - this has been a WIP since 2014 but recently updated and OP said they’re planning on finishing by this year so for sure it is a worthwhile read. hunger games au, kyle is a capitol traitor banished to district 12, eric is the 47th games’ victor. kyle and bebe get chosen as this year’s tributes and have to deal with the fear of dying and trying to continue the fight started by eric the year prior. a lot of sad shit happens but it is goooood. very much recommend. // 57,158 23/28 chapters

something about the chase by grossalien- drag cartman au. i LOVE drag cartman. // 11,299, two oneshots

the “Im with stupid” series by numbknee - established kyman relationship. kyle and cartman have only just gotten together and try to navigate their new relationship and the shit that comes with it (plus the crazy way they got together in the first place 😭). it’s just cute and i like it. // four oneshots, 46,099

kyle isn’t anything by suzie_tempest - end of high school romance au. kyle is discovering himself and what he wants right before graduation. cartman plays a big role in that self discovery. it’s rlly cute i like it. // 89,801 12/14 chapters

be still my (virtual) heart by mewtwos - college au. this is for the losers out there who agree with me that the main 4 are losers too and need to be portrayed as such more often in fan works 🙌 kyle is a little rich boy at college who’s completely normal except for the fact that he’s in a parasocial relationship with a v-tuber named erica chan (you’ll never guess who it is 😳) . he’s gotta work on a school project with cartman. the sexting between erica chan and kyle is excruciating and that’s what makes it so good. i love this one and hope it gets more updates in the future cus it’s so funny. // 18,802, 4/? chapters

it was destiny anyways by galaxy_friday17 - i am not a big fantasy person and not into lore heavy fics but this one was rlly frickin good 🥳 was i confused half the time? yes, but it’s my fault cus i’m the type who skims through long paragraphs if there’s no romance 😭 it’s a stick of truth au, angsty as hell with multiple time skips. i recommend // 53,847 19/19 chapters

It could be wrong, could be wrong (But it should've been right) by grossalien - this follows tweek and craig’s povs but it is a kyman fic. basically tweek and craig accidentally become the last straw that ruined kyle and cartman’s first date and cartman haruhi suzumiya’s himself and everyone around him into a time loop until the date goes well. only tweek and craig are aware of the loop and are forced to make the date go well if they want to leave the time loop. it’s rlly good and rlly funny. // 19,843, 6/6 chapters

in a mirror, festively by synapticfirefly- this is a basic rec in the fandom but it rlly is just too good. it’s the perfect mix of funny and smut and genuinely heartfelt with a surprising emphasis on facebook relationship status(?) 😭 it’s a mirrorverse au where cartman is a little bitch who just wants to do his holiday charities and everyone around him is absolutely batshit evil, esp kyle who just wants him to come to his hanukkah party. // 36,337, 10/10 chapters

put out the fire on us by i_already_forgot - i don’t like to recommend unfinished fics bc i don’t wanna get someone disappointed but this fic is genuinely too good to not be recommended. kyle and cartman get pranked by clyde and they accidentally get handcuffed, fall down a waterfall and get stranded in the woods 🤷‍♀️ it’s funnier if i don’t elaborate. they gotta survive and make it out and their friendship develops and it’s so cute and i love it. if op ever posts another chapter i will be jumping up and down. // 139,167, 11/? chapters

if i were honest with you by creamdream98 - imma be fr, this is my fave kyman fic ever. probbo one of my fave fics of all time. i starting reading it from the first chapter and i was SEATEDD for every update. it’s a regular high school au but sum abt it is just so endearing and sweet and makes you root for eric and kyle. like the kiss scene made me audibly cheer out loud. basically cartman is a freak and bc he’s in love with kyle draws weird drawings of him in his notebook AT SCHOOL (i would NEVERRR). stan catches him one day and makes a deal with him that if cartman helps him get wendy, he’ll help cartman get kyle. it’s adorable i’ve reread it like 10 times. highly recommend if you’re into that sorta thing. // 150,655, 19/19 chapters

i have more but i don’t wanna do this anymore ❤️

PAIRING — WARNINGS — WORD COUNT!

〘 Hikaru x Reader | None! | ~ 0.8k words 〙

MASTERLIST !! PINNED POST 🎧💿

ੈ ✮ ˳ Lulus Notes :: Repost from my og account. I don’t remember if this was requested by anon or a specific person 😭 Haruhi is referred to with they/them pronouns

His eyes then drifted to a student not too far from them. He hadn't spoken to them a lot, but he knew they were very quiet. They always preferred to stay by themselves in a corner. He was curious to know if it was because they scared everyone away like Nekozawa-senpai or if they were just shy. Either way, they had grabbed Hikaru's attention and he wanted to know more about them.

Finally, the hell rang, finishing the boring class and letting the students free of having to hear their teacher drone out any longer. Hikaru and Kaoru stood and stretched at the same time, they always were in sync, some weird twin thing probably. Hikaru then turned to where the quiet student was and looked as they packed their bag to leave. They seemed to be taking their time, probably wanting to be last to leave.

Walking up to the student's desk, Hikaru placed his hand on their desk and leaned on it, staring down at the still-sat person. The student immediately became stiff, seemingly frozen as they stared back at him. Hikaru then gave them a mischievous smile, making their face suddenly warm up.

"Now who could you be?" He asked them, a teasing tone to his voice. The student kept still, face still warm as they started at the older Hitachin twin. They couldn't deny they were attractive and that they were charming. They could tell the older one was more mischievous than his younger counterpart. The way he stared at them made them freeze up in place and forget how to respond. They felt like they'd forgotten how to breathe once he'd set his eyes on them.

"Who are you talking to Hikaru?" Kaoru said, looking at his twin. Hikaru usually told him if he was going to make a prank on someone so they'd do it together, the fact he didn't say anything meant Hikaru wasn't planning anything like that.

"Just with cutie over here" The older twin replied. (Y/N)'s face somehow got even warmer at the pet name. They were suddenly scared they'd forget how to breathe and would die on the spot. That'd be so embarrassing!

"Leave them alone Hikaru," Haruhi suddenly cut in, "You're obviously making them uncomfortable." Uncomfortable wasn't really the right word, they were more flustered. "Plus, we have to go the host club soon, Tamaki isn't gonna shut up if we're late." The honorary student said as they put on their bag, leaving the classroom shortly after.

"You're no fun Haruhi" The twins did in sync. "But, they're right anyways," Kaoru said by himself. "I'd rather not get chewed out by Tamaki today." Kaoru then took his bag, going after Haruhi. "C'mon Hikaru, let's go."

"Alright," Hikaru replied, taking his own bag, "I'm coming." He then left the quiet student by themselves. (Y/N) seemed to immediately break from their petrified state when they saw the twin leaving. "Wait!" They exclaimed before he could leave the room. Hikaru turned his head at them, making a sound of acknowledgment while looking at them.

"(Y/N), my name is (Y/N)." They finally replied. Hikaru then smirked at them, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "(Y/N), hope to see you soon cutie." He winked at them, leaving them behind in the classroom to chase after his twin.

Who’s your most favorite character out of every fandom you’re in?

i love this question!!! growing up I've been in A LOT of fandoms that def shaped who i am today 😭 but most of them are dead. I'll just list some that r kinda active/still think about

1. Viktor from Arcane

Okay, Caitlyn comes in 2nd. But he's my most favorite. I initially loved him for his grumpy attitude and his accent (who doesn't) but his childhood story made me fall in love with who he is a little bit more. :')) i like how he's dedicated to his work and how he decided to take the risk in helping Jayce when it came to magic. this guy's an inventor, a scientist, and a dreamer. and i love those types of people!!! anyway i just want him to be happy

2. Reigen from Mob Psycho 100

i LOVE this unhinged man. everything is perfect about him even though he is literallt imperfect. loved his chatlracter development the most. anyway its reigen so i dont think i have to explain why hes my favorite.

i also just want him to be happy

3. Fischl from Genshin

She's one of my first characters in the game and even though her stats aren't that good i keep trying to let her be part of the team 😞 im too attached to her. She's pretty and im obsessed with her design but i loved her antics and silliness the most. she is jus like me forrreeall. i love beidou too (i love strong pirate boss woman<3) but fischl is just a character i relate to more. I ALSO WANT HER TO BE HAPPY!!!

4. Madoka from Madoka Magica

5. Eddie from IT

6. Will Graham from Hannibal

7. Miss Pauling from TF2

OKOK GUYS i have actually never played TF2 BUT THE COMIC AND FANON STUFF ARE SOO GOODD.. and Miss Pauling?! i love her an unhealthy amount....... oh my god i want her likensjaiaoaois SHE WAS MY FAVORITE IN THE SERIESS. shes so cute and she tries her best always 🤧 medic comes in 2nd.

8. Aziraphale AND Crowley from Good Omens

9. Chase AND Buddy from Cinderella Boy

alsoooo honorable mentions from dead/other fandoms

- Jaehee from Mystic Messenger

- Haruhi from OHSHC

- Yamaguchi from Haikyuu!!

- Bill from Gravity Falls

- Fluttershy from MLP

- Tubbo from DSMP (yes i had a phase)

- Canada from Hetalia (this is embarrassing)

- Roxy AND Wallace from SPVTW

[icecream-headaches]

Sorry if i sound strange but in Coffee's For Closers when Patrick sings, "girls used to follow me around, then i got cold" i always imagine girls chasing patrick around like how Haruhi is chased in the ohshc opening

[aparticularbandit]

Thinking about how Haruhi absolutely screwed over Asakura.

Because like.

Haruhi makes the club. The club goes looking for trouble and finds nothing and also the straws were not in her favor and she didn't get to go looking for trouble with Kyon.

Haruhi gets depressed because nothing has happened in the club in its one week of existence.

Five minutes later, Asakura: Hey. Kyon. Let's play stabby!

One day later, Haruhi: HEY KYON ASAKURA DISAPPEARED YOU AND ME GONNA TEAM UP AND LOOK FOR TROUBLE.

And like. Asakura is stated repeatedly to be the prettiest girl in their class other than maybe Haruhi, and Haruhi can't go after Mikuru because Mikuru's part of her gang.

What I'm saying is Asakura suddenly being stabby is entirely Haruhi's fault.

....

And, as a result, it is highly likely that Yasuke should be concerned.

[ouranbutworse]

Anime-Manga Comparisons, episode 26

This episode is especially hard, since it covers so many volumes, so let’s just get it over with before I cry any more.

It starts off with Kotoko’s shrine and Haruhi leaving to head to school without eating breakfast, pretty quiet start, so I thought I’d talk about Tamaki announcing he’s leaving the host club in the manga.

There's a lot of build up to it, like Honey and Mori graduating and the rest moving up a grade, then they fight and Mori wins, just to tell Honey he can’t bring the rabbit with him to college, Haruhi and Tamaki share an almost kiss, Haruhi goes to her dad for advice, and Shizue allows Tamaki to move into the main mansion, also laying off all the staff from mansion two. Pretty harsh! At least Kyoya runs to talk with Shima. The music room also gets closed for renovation, and Tamaki avoids Haruhi at every turn, until they finally all meet up to eat lunch together and Tamaki drops the ball and tells them all he’s leaving, putting Kyoya in charge, and that Haruhi can quit if she likes. They’re not at all happy about it.

Looking back at the anime, Eclair randomly points out that Kyoya is the third son in his family and will never be the heir, how fucking rude of her! She also knows of Haru’s debt, and demands an audience with our dear Natural Type. The way Haruhi questions if Eclair is jealous feels like a call back to the first episode with Ayanokoji, but Eclair doesn’t get angry. The rest of the club worry about Tamaki and Kyoya has to wrangle them up to do their jobs, then thanks Haruhi and tells her that her debt has been repaid and she’s free to leave, if she likes. Even he sounds a little sad about that. Yoshio returns to make a speech at his back, saying he’s wasting time, and Haruhi defends him, calling him amazing.

Eclair wears her opera glasses in the shower. That’s that about that. Also there’s a shower in the music club? We get another flashback to when she was talking to Haruhi, she asks if she’s his lover, and when Haruhi denies it Eclair says that means she must mean nothing to him. That implies all the hosts are either nothing to him, or all his lovers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s kissed them all on the mouth. Eclair throws his phone in the fishtank because she’s so jealous of all his lovers. Yoshio appears to discuss his company being bought out by Tonnerre. He also mentions that he did consider giving Kyoya the company, but now he’ll never have it. The clock strikes forebodingly, and Eclair asks for a favour.

The rest of the club are all dressed in pretty silly, but nice outfits, though I will give one criticism that they should all be wearing their rose colours. Kyoya calls Shima, and she tells him that Tamaki is leaving for France. Hikaru cries and says “It can’t end so suddenly!” and I cry because it’s true.

I’m comparing the entire chase scene to volume 17 of the manga, chapters 76 to 79, but to be clear, these episodes came out in september 2010 and the anime finished in 2006 of the same month, so I think Hatori liked the chase so much she wrote it into the manga, which I can’t blame, it’s pretty awesome.

The build up to the car chase is that Shizue, having been usurped by Yuzuru for control of their company, is depressed, and Tamaki is trying to cheer her up while resenting his father, leading to Anne-Sophie visiting but Tamaki refusing to see her. It’s also revealed that everyone at school knew he was an illegitimate child and the club was hiding that for no reason, Kasugazaki reveals it to the class 1-A trio, and Ayame reveals it to Kyoya in their class, and then all their female guests band together to offer to help Tamaki. We also see concern from Shiro, Kasanoda comes up with Reiko, who offers a curse doll from Nekozawa that should bring Tamaki great fortune, and an appearance from two students who look vaguely familiar (they’re apparently other sports team captains from earlier) who ask Kyoya about Tamaki, and when he asks why they’re not at uni, one slaps him on the back. Haruhi tears up as she thinks of how Tamaki came alone to Japan, but has touched so many people since being there.

Skipping ahead a bit, Haruhi meets up with Yuzuru in his office and then runs down to meet the club and tell them that Anne-Sophie is returning to France the next day, since she’s still in the middle of her treatment. The hosts are not pleased that the chairman is causing so much trouble to the people around him, but still come up with a plan to get past the security in the Suoh mansion, rescue Tamaki, and get him to the airport to say goodbye to his mother.

In both, Honey and Mori are the ones who take the leads to the mission, kind of. They're the ones who fight off the Black Onion Squad in the anime, and in the manga they round up all the workers from mansion 2 who were let go, and then look over blueprints to figure out the best way into the mansion. In the anime Mori is the one who tells the twins how to get to the airport on the carriage. After a few different failed attempts at getting into the mansion, manga Mori decides to simply grab Haruhi and jump through a window, shielding her as they crash through it. I like his style. The twins come in with a helicopter, but then the heli has to land due to dense fog, so Renge gets them to land and offers her boat, and then Kuze offers his boat and they both argue, and then the sports team captains offer their car, and it turns into a big argument. There’s a worry that Tamaki won’t make it in time, but he decides to take Kuze’s boat, asks Ayame to update him on traffic, tells Kyoya to meet him with his car, and tells the other guests to cheer him on, which they do happily. Kyoya and Kasanoda team up to get the police and the syndicate to block off the road and get Tamaki to the airport in time. Haruhi thinks about how if she never met the host club she’d never know what it’s like to want something with all her heart,, as she runs with Tamaki hand in hand into the airport, and they finally catch up with Anne-Sophie. So really, the chases aren’t similar at all, since the manga was all about getting to the airport and the anime is about stopping him from getting there… Does that mean I don’t have to watch the rest of it? No? Damn.

Back in the anime, the carriage topples over and Hikaru ends up breaking his arm and crying about how the club has such a profound effect on him. We see a flashback of Haruhi leaving for school without breakfast, and Ranka stopping her from leaving, telling her some things can’t be changed, but that she has to be brave. I think that guitar riff has some kind of evil curse on me.

Tamaki jumping to rescue Haruhi is obviously a call back to the beach episode, where he does the same thing, but on a grander scale, as finales tend to do, he even carries her the same, and of course her line mirrors Tamaki’s from the first episode, in the fountain.

While the club dance with Haruhi, Yoshio and Yuzuru reveal Tonnerre dropped out of buying the company and Kyoya bought it and gave it right back to Yoshio, claiming he doesn’t want it anymore after all the years of it being dangled above him, this is interesting because in those peeks to the future we saw in the manga Hatori said she left his ending open ended on whether he did take over or not, in the animeverse it seems clear that he doesn’t want the company after all. This is also reminiscent of him telling Honey in the manga that he found something more precious, though that was about him letting his feelings for Haruhi go in favour of Tamaki being with her instead. Both of them playfully argue about each of their sons marrying Haruhi, Tamaki repeats the same line about Ouran Academy and the host club, and Haruhi thanks us and bids us goodbye. Now let's move onto season tw- oh.

Episode 26… and this whole series.. Is over!

I would also like to say that Ziggy Stardust, who is a character from the music of David Bowie, was submitted, but did not make it into the roster. The research I did said that Ziggy was also Bowie's persona for a while, and I feel as though that is sort of crossing the line of the no real people rule, even if he was originally created as just a character before becoming a persona.

[skayafair]

It's incredibly funny and also devastating to realize that every character I've ever related to, I mostly related not only because we were so alike in personality but because THEY WERE FUCKING NEURODIVERGENT.

It was the way they process the world, their "quirks", their problems and strenghts.

Haruhi Suzumiya? Lavy Bookman Jr.? Androids from Detroit Become Human? A fuckload of others? Hell, even the very first - Maria from Chrono Crusade - has some neurospicy traits like quickly learning technologies far too advanced for her time and just... this specific way of thinking overall.

Lately I REALLY relate to bossy turned bitchy characters like Clara Oswald, Cordelia Chase, etc., but in fact it's a full circle because THAT'S THE WAY I AM without the burden of masking and feeling ashamed for just being me. And while those 2 might not be ND (eeehhh... I'm really not sure Cordi isn't, her bluntness and honestly considered), this still feels very much related.

Edwin from DBD is the latest addition and he honestly just cumulates all of the above.

Man I love being ND. Can't even tell if I'm being sarcastic right now.
