Machi's #10 DP x DC idea

Someone called on the Fenton's and now Danny is hiding from the CPS. He hides in the GZ and is only find out when he goes back home bc he missed Jazz.

Time goes differently on the realms, Danny has spent years in the GZ but only a couple days have passed on Earth. Unfortunately, after so long in the GZ Danny has gotten used to speaking by emotions and not by words so he barely talks. Until they can solve the situation with the Fenton's it is decided Danny should go to a house that is used to deal with this kind of behavior.

Cue to Danny being sent with the batfam.

He arrives late at night and Bruce decides that it will be better for Danny to meet the children in the morning (especially since some are on patrol rn) Danny is offered a room in the family wing but he rushes to Cass' room.

Cass immediately wakes up and pokes at Danny. Real? She asks and Danny nods.

Cass baby core sings in pure Bliss bc now they have a big ghost that they can talk to (Jason doesn't count bc Jason is corrupted) Cass slaps Danny on pure instinct and Danny smiles and chases after her. They both run and play in the room while having a silent conversation but when Bruce puts a step on the room they freeze and hide.

He tells them that he doesn't want to interrupt their games but it is time to sleep. They agree so they grab all the blankets and pillows they can find in the room, build a nest in the middle of the bed and hide inside.

From then on they have this bubble around them, Cass is more comfortable and relaxed with Danny than with anybody else and the same goes for Danny. They are always cuddling and touching each other and having quiet conversations. Thanks to this, Cass' powers show up and Danny doesn't officially join the Bats but he always seems to know when Cass is in danger and goes to her rescue every time, even if she is in another country.

it's so funny to me... looking at video reactions and content about the anime of Erased and realize how many people felt like... idk. cuckolded? by the fact that Kayo did not end up with Satoru in the end, but with Hiromi, the boy who also would have died if the timeline had not been reset.

and like. some of my amusement comes from like... my own ignorance in not realizing that would be a reaction. because like. Obviously. We've been in Satoru's shoes this entire journey and it felt like, especially in the anime, Kayo and Satoru were having these big meaningful moments. like. how could that not be a romance? even though Satoru repeatedly is like 'I am 30, I'm not catching feelings in this situation, what am I doing?'

which I took as like. "Oh, he's inhabiting his little 8 year-old body and also has not had social connection in a long time and is just... having emotions. and Satoru's story is about learning to care and feel again. because adult Satoru had shut down so much due to the trauma of both losing so much in his youth and having the adults around him cope by basically refusing to deal with it and shutting it down. Returning to his childhood before the trauma is reawakening his ability to connect, trust and feel again. Which is something adult Satoru is as confused and unfamiliar with as child Satoru would be with a crush so it reads very similar."

but I also like. ran out of episodes at episode 9, then read the manga, then got like... really really invested in what the story had to say about trauma and the cycles of abuse and silence and well meaning cruelty and convenient victims and patterns of violence and community scapegoats and justice and how people act to preserve face and the justice system and like... the anime picked one thing in the manga to focus on and it was Kayo. and it did that thing like... really really masterfully. it made Kayo's story so heartrending that people forgot almost entirely about everything else. but like. the manga is about like... multiple other subjects of which Kayo features predominantly but like. The character that Satoru is freaking out about having been killed in his flashbacks in the manga is Hiromi, because Hiromi was his friend. It doesn't change the fact that Kayo is very impactful, but the story doesn't revolve entirely around her. So the fact that Hiromi and Kayo found love instead of death, but many anime viewers seem to forget entirely that Hiromi is also a would-be murder victim, is because so much of the non-Kayo story is just... not present or altered.

And even stuff with Kayo because like. She came back after being taken to her grandmother and helped them with the investigation and protection of Aya, the other potential murder victim that goes to a different school.

Honestly sometimes I feel like even people who talk about the anime ending being bad vs the manga ending, miss the parts of the manga that the anime changes. The anime is very excellent for what it is as a stand alone piece, however since it had adapted so much out of the manga to make itself a stand alone piece it didn't give itself an ending that matched what it had created. The anime had devoted itself entirely to the Kayo aspects of the story because they evoked such strong emotions, but the ending... isn't about Kayo. because in the manga, the story wasn't about Kayo. the thing that seems kind of funny to me is, they were stuck with 2 episodes to wrap up a fat chunk of the manga. They were always gonna have to do an anime original ending. They *could* have just gone balls to the wall and gone completely original and played into the fact that they'd been focusing on Kayo the whole time. Not necessarily "waits for him the whole time" but something that puts more focus on her to give more emotional catharsis to the audience. Instead it went with the option no one was happy with and did a limp noodle fast adaptation of the last chunk of the manga with no character development or deduction or planting from the rest of the anime because half the scenes that made any of it make sense got cut.

And now everyone remembers Erased as that great anime with a terrible ending. which sucks because the manga honestly really has a lot to say about a lot of topics. And the anime is artistic and beautiful as hell. but like. the fact that so much of the message is fully not like... either adapted or perceived by audiences or like. Ignored. feels like a sign of something kind of frustrating...

Or I am overthinking big time. That's. I guess a possibility. It might not be that deep, but I think it is. there just might be a level of clumsiness in its execution sometimes, but I think the themes and messages are still there...

As Fruba fan, are you team Yuki/Kakeru or Yuki/Machi? Why?

I'm a multishipper at heart so I never feel the need to choose uwu (multishippers, we stay winning). But to be honest, Kakeru and Yuki's relationship feels more brotherly to me. Sorry YuKakeYu shippers, I personally don't see it but I can see why y'all do. Considering the canonical bi/pan characters we have like Ayame and Hatsuharu, I don't find it out of the realm of possibility to see Yuki as pan or demi (which I personally do).

Bro connects with who he connects with, gender and sexual orientation have little to do with it.

But if we're talking about who I ship Yuki with above all else? There is a character I firmly believe Yuki would have ended up romantically with if things in the story were different and Kakeru and Machi don't come close at all to being that other person.

It's Kyo.

I am deadass serious when I say it is Kyo.

This is not some toxic yaoi shipping bullshit, I have evidence to back up my claims!

No one will ever be able to convince me that Yuki's first crush wasn't Kyo. Yuki was literally smitten with Kyo and his hair upon their first meeting, the pink on his cheeks wasn't just coming from the snow. This is a hill I will 100% die on. It was Kyo but then Kyo's hostility and the complications with Akito and the entire zodiac curse got in the way of that.

Hell, I don't even really have to imagine what that relationship would have likely been like either because by extension of Hajime and Mutsuki, we get to see that.

Their sons who are literally so close that it is a joke-that-isn't-really-a-joke at the family functions that if they're even left alone together for one second, they'll start hanging all over one another. Their sons who, narratively, are supposed to represent what their fathers' relationship could have been if there had been no curse or any other sort of negative influence tainting it.

And with the very clear romantic overtones of Hajime and Mutsuki's relationship, I think it is subsequently clear where Yuki and Kyo's relationship would have headed if that night they met as kids went differently. Or had someone decided to intervene and get the two of them on more amicable terms as children.

Hajime and Mutsuki have adored each other since they were children, spent most of their time together which they continue doing in the present and they balance each other out by supplementing for each other what the other lacks. And, of course, their chemistry is extremely good.

Whatever happened in the past, we're just us, but… maybe it's really special for our dads to see you and me standing side by side like this. ー Mutsuki, Yuki's son to Hajime

(Like, they literally spend Valentine's Day together when they could easily just spend that day apart. I know they live together but they don't need to be that damn close to partake in the romance holiday goodies.)

And to me, Kyo and Yuki have some great chemistry not only when they're arguing with one another (which I say it's great chemistry because of the envy they feel towards one another, how they only see what is good in the other rather than the flaws. Ex, Yuki's great at everything in Kyo's mind while Yuki desires Kyo's ability to easily connect with people despite his social awkwardness) but during the moments they aren't at each other's throats as well.

Admittedly it could just be my multishipper goggles, but there are 2 main character relationships/dynamics in Fruits Basket where I think 'if you didn't end up with A, you definitely would have ended up with B'. One is more subtle, the other is extremely obvious (I just think some people will be mad at me if I say it lmao, y'all can boo me all you want though I'm right!!!!).

YuKyo is one of those ships for me and it's the more subtle of the two.

Like it is there but it doesn't become obvious until you get to Furuba Another and get introduced to their sons. So I really don't think it is much of a stretch to say that had things been different, we would have seen Kyo and Yuki have an entirely different relationship.

"Adoration turned into envy"??? Yuki, my lad, you couldn't be more obvious that your crush on Kyo became something bitter.

Yuki wanted Kyo to like him, a fact he admits to Kakeru when we dive more into his past. There's a part of him that still wants Kyo to like him and have some sort of positive relationship with each other. And by the end of the main series, there's peace with one another. An acceptance that their relationship may never get to the 'what it could have been' but they have each other's back regardless.

Which I think is lovely. So even with my love of the canon ships we got, YuKyo is one of my favorite Fruits Basket ships that live rent-free in my head.

So in the Erased manga, Satoru fashions a taser out of a disposable camera, almost uses it in one scene, and then gets rid of it. I get that he gets rid of it because it represents his willingness to not go too far in his pursuit of justice, BUT the guy also kinda knows a serial killer is running around town and he does, in fact, have a tiny little child body? You would think having a fucking taser would be real helpful at some point

What I'm saying is Satoru should have kept the taser and then tazed the shit out of the killer during that one car scene. Absolutely should have gone ham, especially before they got to the middle of bumfuck nowhere so other cars would of been around.

Would this have crashed the car? Most definitely. But personally, if I had to choose between the chance of maybe getting in a fatal accident with a serial killer where there are at least people there to witness if he tries shit and almost definitely being killed to death alone in a coldass river (ignoring the whole willpower infused coma thing) I'd rather take option number one.

Also the look on the killers face after he does his whole dramatic reveal and "happiest memory" thing just to be shocked the shit out of by a small child armed with a disposable camera would of just been funny

Akitoya royality au (with a twist!)

Hi! Akitoya royal au!

Our pov character is Toya Aoyagi, the 3rd prince with no chance of being the king, he starts his day meeting his knight named Tsukasa Tenma, Tsukasa's his older brother figure despite Izumi and Yuki being his actual older brothers

As Toya walks towards the dinning hall where he'll spend his breakfast with Tsukasa and Saki, Tsukasa starts talking about the new knight named Akimitsu Shinhoshi while Saki talks about the new court artist named Erena Sadekane, other people are also talked about (ie, the rest of the pjsk cast)

Toya is then trapped in classical music trainning, but since his father is busy, Tsukasa sneaks him out to the town, where Toya visits a flower shop and meeting Ayanao Sashihara, the son of the owner who's favourite flower is the sunflower

It's now nightime! Toya was about to go to bed where the window opens to reveal an assassin! However, the assassin named Moonlight refuses to kill Toya because of a strange and unknown moral code and they spend the rest of the night discussing music after Moonlight notices the piano in Toya's room and dreams of a person with soft orange hair and olive eyes

Strangely, Moonlight and Ayanao looks very similar...

But no time to waste! Toya meets Akimitsu Shinhoshi in the library, seemingly just relaxing on the library's balconey painting a prince overlooking his garden with alstroemeria, gardenia, tulips, iris, bluebells and snapdragons on the library's balconey with romanctic fairy tales at twilight, and out of impulse, Akimitsu asks Toya to pose as the prince, and suddenly Toya's princely life seems to take a turn...

(Oh yeah! Akimitsu has brown hair and olive eyes while Moonlight and Ayanao have orange hair and brown eyes!)

After those faithful encounters, Toya would sneak out of the castle to see Ayanao for a fun ride of flower arrangment and posing for Akimitsu while meeting Moonlight at night

However, a part of him screams at him, begging for him to open his eyes and discover the truth of this idealistic dream of a naive and sheltered prince

You know what they say!

"Fate's a cruel mistress"

It seems that Toya will become king after all...

While part of me feels that Machi was only introduced to give Yuki a straight, monogamous happy ending, I do appreciate the similarities between Machi’s and Yuki’s “my family treated me poorly and so I moved out and never went back.”

happy weekend folks. i'm losing my mind trying to decide what draft to work on . 🙏

[riceballmari]

ever since i saw the "what if machi lived in the tent instead of tohru" fic idea under another what-if fic, i haven't gotten the idea out of my head. i miiiiight write something about it, but idk if i'm cut out for writing long-ass multi-chapter fics, especially ones above 6 chapters.

Machi's #9 DP x DC idea

Damian has a ghost core bc so much exposure to Lazarus pits so he stabbing is his way of trying to make friends by fighting. The batfam only realizes this when at a gala Damian stabs Danny and he gives a too many too sharp teeth smile and throws Damian over the table. After the fight they find Damian on Danny's shoulders, laughing.

Me: does that mean that Damian is desperately wanting to make friends with a certain Drake? X"D I tot Tim is his least favorite Batfam member

Machi: Damian is frustrated bc Tim never responded as he expected (aka playing fight)

Yesterday I saw this tweet about how Renko gives off Hisoka vibes and the kid HisoMachi brainrot were back again 🥹

Imagine Hisoka is from Kirimori and Renko is his relative. Imagine Machi meets him there. Imagine they're forbidden to be friends because Hisoka can't learn about nen -- in Kirimori, only women are allowed to, but he'll leave someday to learn alone. Imagine she becomes friends with him anyway because she's intrigued about the boy. Imagine them playing in secret and being little troublemakers. Just imagine 😭

Thank you @vr2312 for sharing this brainrot with me.
