Your HeiShin posts have been driving me crazy! (In a good way lol) Especially the tags on your GIF's for HeiShin week(?). I LOVE your work and writings, I love the way you interpret things and i love the way you see each character. Augh.

Okay, enough gushing, hear me out! From the first time they met, from butting heads repeatedly and Heiji declaring they are sworn to be detective rivals, to Heiji in episode 521-523 to referring himself to Shinichi's best buddy. That's something so so sweet to me. Disliking a person based on what you hear about them, an overally aggressive, competitive friendship all the way to two close friends who'd help each other out in a heartbeat. They really do care about eachother and it makes me sooooft.

Sorry for rambling about them in your inbox, you don't have to respond to this whatsoever. I just love your interpretations of the two boys and your work in general. I've been thinking about them more and I wanna say thanks for the great GIF's and writing in the HeiShin tag lately. <3

Thank you!!

If I may, though, one thing I like about their relationship is how Heiji certainly tries to be combative at first, but he gives that up pretty quickly. (I mean, going on a Sherlock Holmes fan tour, even though he doesn't care much for Sherlock, all for the chance to see Shinichi?) And Shinichi is never particularly combative, either—he's not cruel when countering Heiji's incorrect deduction and goes out of his way to give Heiji a healthier mindset. I love that basically as soon as Heiji actually meets Shinichi, he kind of ditches the rival thing in favor of being Shinichi's best friend instead.

At least, that's how I see it, anyway! Thank you for reading my posts! I'm glad that they've resonated with folks 🥺
