One of those days when I'm starved for YHS content and I can't find any, then I think it's a good idea to rewatch the series. Then I weep

YHS headcanon (warning: yapping)

Introduction: Lemme start yapping. I like to think that all 4 of Sam’s best friends throughout both YHSs have/had a crush on him (which is very funny considering we’re talking about Sam). And this is me rambling about how each of them views him/their crush on him. But I do need to say that I last watched YHS two years ago and, while I’m currently rewatching it, I’m only at episode 5 right now, I never finished watching Tokyo Soul and barely remember it and have not watched the YHS reboot at all, so all of this comes from what I remember of YHS/TS + things from fanon content, and only things from fanon content in the case of the reboot so this might be out of character but it’s how they are in my head right now and I need to get the brain worms out. Also because I haven’t watched the reboot, the sections from Taurtis and Grian will be longer than the sections from Coolment and Owl. Oh yeah, I also haven’t watched Yandere either so I have no idea how the OG trio met.

Taurtis: Taurtis views Sam as his best friend, and they’ve lived together for a long time, so they’re very close. I don’t think he ever realises he has feelings for Sam, it’s not like suddenly he likes him, it’s a long process and by the time he’s absolutely smitten he has no idea. He knows he feels all warm and comfortable around Sam, but he thinks that’s just a friendship thing (doesn’t help that he also has a crush on his other closest friend). He is fully aware he wants to date Sam, he knows how he feels, he knows he fantasises about kissing him, he just doesn’t clock that’s because he likes him, to him, that’s just something his brain does. Even after Sam goes crazy, he doesn’t really care, it’s still Sam. He probably realises it’s a crush after telling someone (probably Grian) about it and getting told “yeah, that’s a crush”. He’d be like “ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that explains a lot lol”. He doesn’t pursue a relationship with Sam though, because he’s happy just being friends with him. He wouldn’t mind dating him, of course, but to him it doesn’t really matter what they are, as long as they’re together.

Grian: Grian fucking hates Sam. And he also hates the fact that he has a crush on him. It makes him irrationally angry whenever he gets all flustered over Sam doing anything. Especially if that thing is hurting someone (because obviously that’s bad but, man, does he look good when he stabs people). He hates the fact that he thinks Sam’s rabbit traits are adorable, he hates the fact that he knows the exact number of freckles on Sam’s cheeks and nose bridge, he hates how in love he is with a fucking psycho who has caused him more trauma than he has anyone else. He tries to bottle up the feelings because he really doesn’t want to end up actually dating Sam, that’d be the stupidest thing he’d do in his life. And yet, sometimes, he can’t help but let himself go. They’ve definitely kissed before. And Grian cherishes those memories but also prays they never happen again because if he gets just a little more he might just completely shatter. He doesn’t want to feel like this but no matter what the crush just doesn’t fade. And sometimes, he finds himself just hanging out with Sam when he isn’t being an absolute menace and thinks “why can’t we be like this all the time?” but he knows the answer. It’s all just wishful thinking. It’s better to just leave.

Coolment: Coolment, from the little I’ve seen of him, reminds me a lot of both Grian and Taurtis (which I could write a whole essay about, Sam’s new best friend being a mix of his old ones is just peak material). He likes Sam in a way he can’t really describe, but he just wants to do everything in his power to make Sam happy. He follows him everywhere, always helping him with his antics, no matter what they are, just to see him smile. His therapist has 100% told him that he shouldn’t be doing that but he thinks seeing that smile is more beneficial to his mental health than anything else ever could be. He doesn’t want to date Sam, he doesn’t even think about that being a possibility, because he’s certain Sam views him as below himself, so there’s no way there could ever be anything between them. Sometimes Sam kisses him, or acts in a loving way towards him, but he can tell Sam’s doing it because he misses someone else, he’s thinking about that other someone the whole way through. (I do think Sam has feelings for Coolment as well, but oughhh my polytrio angst,, he misses them and uses Coolment as a replacement :(( ). But he doesn’t really care. He’ll take what he can get. Just as long as Sam is happy.

Owl: Owl, I think, is the only one that doesn’t really have a chance with Sam (bro’s totally gay, you cannot convince me otherwise). She knows this and she doesn’t really care. The one thing that makes her the happiest is the fact that Sam is very comfortable around her, being vulnerable in a way he isn’t around others. He loves angrily ranting about his problems and making them everyone else’s problems, but when there’s something that’s truly eating away at him, something that he doesn’t want to tell anyone else, he goes to Owl, and she listens to him and she comforts him and she never tries to come up with solutions for the problems because she knows that’s not what Sam needs. If he’s there, it’s because he’s already thought about everything he could do and has come up empty handed, and feels like he just can’t get out of this situation so he goes to the one person he knows will always let him cry on her shoulder while she holds him close and reassures him that, not matter what he’s going through, she’ll always be there for him. She takes pride in that, even if no one else even knows he does that. She wants to help him as much as she can, she wants him to get better. She knows he’s never going to go to a therapist, so she tries to be his therapist the best she can. The very few times Sam is actually sweet to her, acting gently and trying to be as kind as possible, she almost feels like crying. She knows that’s hard for him, she knows he’s making an effort to act like that just for her. She might’ve cried happy tears once or twice because of that. I imagine at some point Sam tried to help her preen her wings (which he knows how to do because of Grian, but of course, he doesn’t tell her that) and she was scared at first because her wings are very delicate and, with how much of a brute Sam could be at times, she thought she was gonna end up in pain, but he was very gentle, and she felt the closest to him she’s ever felt in that moment. And still, she keeps quiet about her feelings, because she knows they could never amount to anything. It’s still a nice thought tho.

I yapped more than I thought I would. I might make a part two talking about other characters that, either canonically or just my own headcanon, also had feelings for Sam (Yuki, Invader, Dom…), but for now this is all you get.

A doodle dump because yandere high school is reentering my brain. AGAINST MY WILL. Over convinced THREE PEOPLE in ONE DAY to watch the show so I can talk about it. I drew three pages that I haven't posted anywhere yet in one day. I'm rewatching all of it and Tokyo Soul :3

Not sure if I'm gonna keep up with the newer ones, but!!! Old YHS my beloathed(complimentary)

Clone Taurtis - Tokyo Soul ep. 18

Does anyone remeber when Taurtis went through and entire thing of where Taurtis went throguh the entire Taurtis-Clone type thing?

I am rewatching the whole series again and kinda got thinking on where he was going throguh his entire like 'Am I the real one?' Ya know? Because Sam and pretty much everyone else was convincing him he wasn't and I was just wondering on how that must have been for him ngl,, the idea of not being the original (when he is) must be soo scary to look at because the clones have the same memories, and when he tried to prove himself to be real (before he went and got a different blood sample and stole Mr. SnuggleMuffin) he was denied.

I personally like to think that he was actually convincing himself that he was a clone. Slowly. And over time kinda just always felt like he wasn't himself, as if he was missing some sort of being inside of him. Like through all the turmoil and confusion, after everything happens with the clones he just doesn't feel right, as if he were an actual clone and not his own person.

Sorry if this is repetitive, I may expand more when I am not distracted,, but as of writing this I am in school, drawing Sam, Grian and Taurtis xP bc yhs brainrot is being revived <3

[patorucho]

rewatching yhs/tokyo soul is a fucking trial

[p0uncivall]

Occasionally you just need to draw some yhs to drag you out of art block + some headcanons

[give-grian-rights]

Love how TS was such a shit show but it was a shit show we were willing to sit through just so we could hurt grian just a little bit more

-🍞

....Yeah pretty much!

[grianevo]

Okay random thought but its kinda funny how since Grian has been off doing his own thing for a few years seperate from Sam, he's easily the most popular out of the original trio, whereas he used to be the least popular back when YHS/TS was being uploaded

[zumwhy-plays-minecraft]

Me: I’m rewatching YHS/TS!

Me, five seconds later: Yeah, I’m rewatching Grian’s Evo series!

Me, five seconds later: Yeah, I just started watching Cub’s season six series!

Me, five seconds later: Y-

[mystilotls]

Due to being a YHS/TS veteran and forcing myself to rewatch Tokyo Soul, I have to unfortunately remind everyone that Taurtis is vocally into Monster fucking. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

[boiling-paint]

I have been completely overtaken by an Au idea that involves Grian and (unknown to him) the rest of boatem getting sent into Tokyo Soul years into the future (in a ver where the multiverse wasnt destroyed, ig). For those that wish to keep the YHS hatchet buried, I have added a cut so u can scROLL LMFAO-

Also, if u actively still support Sam? Pls do not interact. The CC is. Not cool. Im referencing strictly some really old content that, frankly should not be rewatched. But it has been ingrained in my memory from middleschool and I'm struck with brainrot. Anyways uh here we go:

For now, I'll just be posting the idea of where everybody wakes up in-universe. Maybe start a fic for the fun of it? Anyways,

Grian wakes up in a burning building. It's a mess of him scrambling out of some random apartment and onto the street without enough time to even have shoes on, left to look at the flames in bewilderment. Where on earth is he? After a moment of looking around, noticing familiar parasols and a coastline, his stomach drops.

Mumbo wakes up in.... his. His house? Is this supposed to be his house? Someone calls him for breakfast and he is baffled to find people he has never met before in a house he has never seen. The woman at the stove is cheery and calls him sweet names in a way a mother would a son. She reminds him he'll be late for class and when he scrambles for a way to tell her he has no idea what's going on he's reminded that he apparently has a university course. Uh... may as well go to school, I guess.

Impulse wakes up in the softest bed hes ever slept in. The black sheets smooth and warm, mattress plush. A fireplace crackles and the floor is black marble, morning light cascading like a story, picture perfect through the windows behind him. It felt like a fairy tale... before he notices the gun under his pillow. And the sharp rings on his fingers. And the belt of knives on the nightstand. And where is he? What happened?

Scar wakes up cold, soaking wet, in a dark old warehouse. At first he thinks of one of the old warehouses he worked to convert, but the smell of smog is too thick for this to be near boatem or... anywhere, in hermitcraft. He can't move, ropes grating against his skin. He's tied to a metal post. What is going on? When hushed voices come up to the door his stomach sinks at their tone. He has a feeling he's going to miss his armor.

Pearl wakes up with the taste of dirt in her mouth. The birds around her chirp early, the sun barely risen and the ground covered in dew. Someone her age calls out to her, says she's been out all night. The white picket fence and the cute blonde girl saying her name is, confusing, but she can only guess she fell asleep in her backyard. Deep breath, go with the flow, find the others. The girl mentions something about work after class. They have a class? No- just her. Pearl has a job...? What job?
