#it truly hurts just so bad. it's a fundamental misreading of their characters. bordering on blatant ignorance of their personalities

makoto is so malewife coded it drives me crazy tbh. like he's very much the kind of guy who would enjoy a more slow paced and calm lifestyle

fr <3 makoto was MADE for the househusband role. it makes sense for his character on basically all fronts (unless you're going for the route where he rebuilt hpa, which lets be honest, sucks so bad all around anyway). it works particularly well with canon considering the absolute hell he went through in Future Foundation, it'd be unsurprising that he'd at least want a break from having to work a job. but even in a non-despair setting, it's like. he wants a way to help his partner with the clear knowledge that they're a workaholic and wouldnt have time nor energy to take care of their home on top of it. it just makes sense that he'd fill that role, and that makes him pair really well with people like byakuya and kyoko.

so why the fuck would anyone think to make him the breadwinner in the relationship, especially when he's with kyoko
