The hiding hands behind his back thing could be nervousness

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT SOMEONE ASKED THIS!!

I always think that he does this out of nervousness, but I just thought I was being delusional.

Even though sometimes he does it when there is seemingly no reason to feel nervous, I think that there are some scenes where that can definitely be felt.

Like when he saw Hanako again.

Meeting a sibling for the first time in a while is nerve racking, I can relate.

Introductions are nerve racking, they can make you feel a little self conscious just wanting to be presentable. First impressions are everything.

First kisses. Definitely. I’d feel shy too.

I think what really goes over people’s head is the fact that Tsukasa is a person too, not a demon or anything incapable of feeling emotions. Hanako’s a supernatural and has a lot of emotions, so is every other supernatural in TBHK. Tsukasa can be emotional.

This character trait is going to be one I always will not fail to mention. Always.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Series where food is used for symbolism relating to the story’s themes in addition to the characters LITERALLY eating weird stuff >>>>>>>> 💥❤️

[The two storyline’s are pretty different and the way they utilize food as a symbol is differing in terms of themes but in general I just like stories who do such (⌒▽⌒)]

really loving the Hanako-kun tea blends descriptions. But especially the Yugi's teas

Both the Yugi twins are a Ceylon tea; Ceylon (like greens and oolongs) is derived from the a camellia plant, so that's an obvious fitting choice (I only like camellia sinensis derived teas myself hehe!), with rosehips.

The first small difference is Hanako's featured elderberry, while Tsukasa's, blackcurrant. I don't really know what that's about ! Maybe someone smarter than me can teach me about Japanese berry lore. or else it's as simple as elderberry for an elder brother lol?

The next detail is the most fun: Amane's tea is scented with pomegranate, "evoking/reminiscent of the taste of sin"

罪の味を思わせるザクロの香りがふわりと漂い

Tsukasa's tea is scented with cherries, "innocently* plucking notes of the sweet fragrance of cherries"

さくらんぼの甘い香りが天真爛漫に弾け

*this phrase also connotates heavenliness, to contrast Hanako's 'sin'

[thelunarfairy]

Hi Lunarfairy!!! I've been following you for a long time and reading your posts is really intriguing, I love them!!

Since you're really good at deducing and creating theories about jshk, I wanted to ask you about some of the points that intrigue me a lot and what do you think about it.

So, the first question and point I've been thinking about lately is the yugi parents, I would like to know so much more about them, especially about their relationship with the twins and what led them to be careless (heavily implied), and not only that, I honestly would like to know more about them and how they reflect their twins, I like to think that there is some symbolism in the way they dress (the father who dresses western like hanako and the mother who dresses traditional like tsukasa) now I know that the father dresses like this because in the 50s Western fashion was taking hold but I like to think that there are some symbolisms intended by the aidairo, maybe for indicate some similarities of twins with their parents, idk.

Then another obvious thing that i wonder is if mom yugi continued with the "he's not my son" until the end and if this led to the split in the family, i don't know but she seems genuinely stubborn about what she believes she's right about , and in the end there's no way you can blame her, there really was something wrong with tsukasa, she just lacked the right information to get to the truth, i think anyway that the relationship with her husband will start to go badly precisely because of this obstinacy of hers, I don't know if mr yugi can agree with her.

Anyway, Jshk lately it's all becoming a question haha

Good dayyy 🧡

Awwwwww how sweet!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS!!! >.< THIS MADE ME HAPPY!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Well, the twins' parents have always intrigued me, we have little information about them so far, but what it seems is that Tsukasa was treated differently according to the periods, between before and after he was possessed by the entity.

His behavior changed, and I'm not going to point out that it happened only because of the entity, remember that the red house has its own flow of time, Tsukasa saw a lot of things there.

Regarding the mother, we see that she was very present in the twins' lives, she was apparently affectionate and caring towards him, with no signs of any kind of mistreatment here. She loved her children, and was doing everything she could to try to save Amane and comfort Tsukasa.

But, her behavior changed, especially after his return. We saw that she was crying when she met Tsukasa again, but later she noticed that there was something "wrong" with him.

She was still trying to save Tsukasa. Imagine, a mother who was previously suffering with her eldest son, because he had a terminal illness. And now that she managed to save one, she had lost the other, who, when he returned, came back possessed by something.

She fought to save Tsukasa too, but this time she couldn't. She was desperately trying to get the exorcists to save her son. We don't know if she started treating Tsukasa rudely or indifferently, or even with fear.

Perhaps we can deduce that she has started to treat him in a similar way to Amane, perhaps a little less intense. She is his mother, and here too the thought "is he or isn't he the real Tsukasa?" is floating around.

And about how much someone can truly love another person. Yako said that even when you become a supernatural, no matter how much you change, you are still you.

This is the theme of JSHK. Would Tsukasa's mother still love him, even if he were in another form or acting differently?

Something that Amane has been struggling with in his thoughts. I don't know if their mother gave up on Tsukasa (probably not, since he only reached 12 years of age), or if she insisted until the end.

I believe that her behavior towards him must have changed, but that (thinking positively) she did not abandon him.

Her clothes make me associate the issue of sacrifices. Since she is a young woman and dresses in traditional clothing, she resembles the Kannagis. I don't know if I can say that she took that place at some point, but I don't doubt the possibility. She died, but didn't she become a supernatural?

We have even less information about their father. We saw him a few times, specifically on the twins' birthday and when they met Tsukasa again.

He seems to be loving towards the twins, but we didn't see how he reacted to Tsukasa's change in behavior. Knowing that he is an apparently loving father is something that exempts him (for now) from having been abusive or negligent towards the boys.

Considering the information we have, we may see the opposite in the future.

We don't see the father mentioned again. Regarding his clothing, again, it makes me associate it with the concept of sacrifice. We see a connection here between their parents' clothing and theirs, as you mentioned.

Tsukasa dresses in traditional clothing. The mother dresses in traditional clothes.

Amane wears ordinary clothes.

The father wears ordinary clothes.

Kannagi and the one who sacrifices her to make a wish.

Still, it could refer to the connection between children and their parents. Despite this, Tsukasa seems to have more fun with his father, while Amane has more fun with his mother.

So, the family probably stayed together until the end, since it was reported that it was a "family suicide"

They were together, but the question we have to ask is:

"How did they behave towards Tsukasa after his return?"

For now, these are the thoughts I have about them.

I hope you enjoyed it, thanks for the ask! >.<

Good dayyy for you toooo sweetie 🧡

I need someone who can say what exactly the flower they are holding. I'm only sure with Yellow Rose in Bond's mouth. I think Lloyd can hold forget-me-not (not sure how it is English) and Anya maybe Poppy. And I have no idea what Yor have.

Meaning of flowers taken from Google:

Forget-me-not symbolize true love and respect. When you give someone these tiny blooms, it represents a promise that you will always remember them and will keep them in your thoughts. They are also considered a symbol of fidelity and faithfulness. I think it suits Lloyd, he is going to leave after the mission but he did care about his family, and respect it. He won't forget them and I think he does love his family. Platonic or romantic, it didn't matter. He loves them and there he promise to never forget them.

Poppies have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death. In my county it also symbole shed blood and sacrifice for county. Dark but also interesting option.

Yellow Rose means friendship and joy

It's maybe my experience with JSHK but I feel there must be something more with this! Maybe later I will write more for now I am going to sleep.

[amyyythestarry]

What???

Mitsuba has Saturn, Tsukasa has mars, Nene has the moon and Kou has the sun.

So, is it implying.. Tsu, Nene and Kou vs Mitsu?

Is this giving me more evidence for my final boss Mitsu theory?

Kinda confusing tho, still. I always wondered why Aida gave the characters these planets. Hanako has the earth, Nene has the moon, and Tsu has mars, three characters I would assume would get other planets. Why these ones?

I wonder if it actually means something too. We know how much Aidalro just loves foreshadowing stuff and giving symbols, we should all expect the unexpected with them.

jshk banner rankings? Least favorite to most?

I've been having an issue with my vision lately, so my wife made us play a little game where I looked at the banners (briefly) and then had her transcribe my reactions, to minimize screen usage. Below are the results.

(Due to the image limit, this is part 1/2.)

now, my earnest reactions. Starting from least favorite:

"get away from them."

"I don't like to see you dressed like this. but i'm glad you're in this world with me. if we have to be here at the ikemen juicebar."

(I actually didn't like this header very much at first, but my wife explained she has fond memories of playing with nutcrackers, and she likes that Tsukasa is eating nuts in this image. It keeps making me laugh. it's become more relevant.)

"funny."

"I like that aida-sensei likes mushrooms. and would draw tsukasa with mushrooms. the mushrooms themselves being so "hurt you, poisonous" is like interesting."

"he's cute. a mouse in my lunch."

"my little bean. you'll always be my little bean."

"he's tsukasa, so i care about him. but he does look funny. and these diaper eggs. don't uh help."

"he is focused. he use his whoooole fist. cute expression."

"small mouth."

"he's SOOO small in this image. I love the spooky apple pie but like, he's MICROSCOPIC, WHAT HAPPENED????? the apron is cute … falling offa him. messy (: I'll eat it…"

"double wife feature. what's goin on? tsukasa, cursed, fancy lad? nene-chan, courage test, why? so funny. what happens next?"

"elegant. classic. conveys 'its the boy'. can see why this was there for years. perfectly fine header. neutral ground, for me."

"expression is very sweet. I like that tsukasa loves christmas this much. I pity him. it feels like he needs these like, proxies, to fixate on romance. Just a cute picture."

"whatcha doin in there? he looks So young. I can never understand. he looks like, 10. purple socks??? I don't understand. seifuku???? shotacon garbage."

"I would fuck him like this... I hesitated, and he was about to be pretty high up there. BUT. but. like. compared to like tsukasa in his HAKAMA and KIMONO with a carrot in his mouth, these things aren't like on the same plane. I need to regain my senses. I can't let myself get lost. this image makes me very HORNY!! but literally in quality of image I'm like 'NO!!!! its not that good.' Stupid Mokke. I don't want that, the bunnies are better. Almost lost myself." [pause.] "I see it and I'm like 'would fuck you so hard…' then I have to be like —BUT THIS ISN'T ANYTHING!!"

"just beautiful. just a beautiful drawing of tsukasa. i always like the cheek smoosh. shoe kick off eheehehee♥"

"I love the teddy bear, what it ah, symbolizes almost. nice to see it still with him."

(these both are on the same tier.) "he's having fun. keep having fun, okay?" / "my innocent brother." [pause] "i don't have to kill him."

"an artist…………….. a visionary…. bright eyes and a squeaking voice (: i hope you can draw with nene-chan some day….. so small."

"he is very veryveryveryveryveryvery cute. please be my girlfriend…."

"I do love the carousel. I love when we're carousel boys. Circus. purple socks cute. i feel like i'm being invited behind stage, but we're going to do something bad. but its going to be my fault (that it is bad)"

"he's literally so interesting. the gloves are cool. I feel like I've been brainwashed into being his fan. much to be said about the Angel's Trumpet being chosen for this; it really elevates the AU that he COULD be associated with this imagery... suddenly you're folding in like… idols, and like, delirium? singing voice… poisoning you… ? I also have to be real, I like idols a lot. I like normal otaku idol stuff. so an idol AU tsukasa is a big deal to me."

"its just so like. 'oh, tsukasa…' it's both beautiful that he loves love so much, but i almost feel like, i guess jealous, deep down, that he is doing this. but that's almost like good for me, to be forced to feel such things."

(pt 2 Nene-chan on the same rank.) "Makes me wanna cry. I'm sorry."

"good composition, nice color, good 'cursed child' vibes. the other people are a good contrast for how its a little creepy. a ghost, no one can see him. tsukasa knows such simple pleasures, its very cute."

"what's fun about this is how eccentric Tsukasa is; compared to throwing little paper petals (still cute of course, but… this is charming.) Because it's sakuras, and i just kinda associate tsukasa with a kind of femininity, and they feel like they are blossoming from him, its all fun. light, pallid colors… mm."

"this is really one of those. 'i'm in love with you.' images. I really like the colors on the shattered glass (sunset.) it evokes tsukasa's omnipotence. aouhh God. breaking through peering into the universe. also just like a perfect expression. you love to see those eyes peaking out."

"he pisses me off. but my wife loves carrots. so i love that my wife loves carrots. so tsukasa eating carrots is like 'okay, you got me.' the bunnies are cute. [said resentfully] it is nice to think about him sprawled out like this. i like how much you can see underneath the collar. Hakama looks nice." [pause] "there". [...] "grrrr"

"it forces me to think about penis. it's kinda like a personal attack. just as flirty as shoe kicky boy, but also, think about penis. He is just like this. He doesn't choose to be seductive, he just is, and its like, infuriating. eyes closed ranks slightly higher."

"God. I just love this scene so much, so getting to see it (in color) is amazing. it feels like a good mirror image to, the Amane holding the lunar rock looking out a window. these pictures kiss in my mind. 'wow, its really twins.'"
