#sorry the hiro's alive(?) part was so long lmao

[butter-pangcake]

With this year movie, how high of a chance do we have for it to reveal Hiro is still alive vs reveal Rei finally know the truth about Scotch's death?

To be honest; I didn't expect them to tell us any of those, well may be a little reveal like Toichi's case in M27 before continuing(?) on the main timeline because movie could be count as non-canon (still debatable).

But IF Hiro is still alive it would break so many past narratives and Rei (also Akai)'s behaviors wouldn't make sense, they look like they're in a stage of grief because it just happened ~2 years ago (followed by Date and Akemi). Zero' Tea spinoff was published in 2018 and supervised by Gosho himself around the same time as movies planning. He said up until M30 was planned since 2018 so it could say that Zero's Tea, the movies, even WPS spinoff are settled at the same time and we always got told by the author himself or from the characters that Hiro is dead. If he come back alive, he should have the best explanation to back that up, if not I don't know how to feel actually. (Joy of course, but...)

Rei was the last person with Hiro's body, he is the one who knows that either Hiro is alive or not. And he's clearly mourning.

It could be the truth behind Scotch's death, that would explain why we have to wait all these years for the continuation of that late night tea party at Kudo's manor lol If it's true, welp time to cry again!

fruits basket - eps 18, 19 & 20

ep 18: 

omg I remember this episode!! It was one of my favorites. I think it was with the girl who’s the tiger, and she was getting bullied? Kisa I think her name was?

haru! <3

yep, I was right. omg. I’m not ready to rewatch this one. 

bullying is just the worst. 

haru worrying about yuki <3

yuki stopped talking, too. ughhhhhhh. this hurts. 

kisa’s mom looks dead inside. i feel bad for her. so glad to see a good parent of the zodiacs in this show lol. 

tohru relating to kisa <3

oh kisa is just the cutest. 

i love her.

i love her and tohru’s relationship <3333

lmao kyo. 

yuki taking comfort in tohru’s presence too, and resting his head on her is cute. 

rofl poor kyo. 

god, poor kisa. bullying is horrible, but so is being ignored and then laughed at. 

yep. they’re all still human, and should be treated as such. 

I get where this teacher is coming from, and they probably think they’re being supportive, but... it’s also kind of insensitive. The way the letter is written, even if it is not meant to come across that way, kind of frames kisa as the problem - that she hates herself, so she can’t make friends. That she’s weak, so she breaks down when she’s getting bullied. That because she doesn’t ‘love herself,’ she can’t easily make friends. but that’s not the case - it takes acceptance from others to make you love yourself, too. 

haru hugging kisa when she talks again has me crying omfg 

KISA AND TOHRU SFJSFJSFJ

yes, yuki! there you go! such a powerful realization. Speaking from experience, abuse hinders your growth and makes you stagnant. It’s so incredibly hard to move forward. It’s like you’re trapped in a pit of despair that you can’t get out of. You don’t ever feel good enough, or strong enough, or smart enough. You don’t know what you’ll gain, afraid of what you’ll lose. It’s difficult. It’s awful. But eventually, slowly, surely, you gain the capability to realize that you deserve more. There are so many wounds that take so long to heal - and may never truly heal. But you eventually have to try and move forward, because if you don’t, your abusers win. You lose out on life. Taking that first step is so powerful because it shows that you want to get out of it. You want to move beyond the pain. 

kisa’s doing it now too and I am so proud of her. I have faith in my baby girl. 

yuki just announced that he’s going to become student council president. so proud of him too!

“my body still trembles. but I’ll keep facing my fears. What’s important is the desire to improve.” OH, THIS, THIS THIS. strength comes in the face of your fears. That alone makes you stronger. 

ep 19: 

shigure’s poor editor lmao

ritsu is so cute. I kind of remember him? enough to know that ritsu is a he and not a she, lol. 

aaaaand was extremely sensitive and quick to act oh honey ily

lmao yuki and kyo reacting with annoyance 

tohru’s having an existential crisis because ritsu transformed poor girl lool. 

pfft the way the kids listen to shigure when he tells them to change clothes is kind of adorable. 

oh no, the tea spilled everywhere loool. 

rits pls climb down from thereeeeee

tohru’s speech on the roof is a+++. we all go through those moments of self-discovery and figuring out our identities. we all have to figure out a reason to be alive. 

omg she’s amazing. she almost falls off a fucking roof and is still going. 

“you might find the person who wants to be with you the most” this is so beautiful and also foreshadowing because I know kyo and tohru are endgame and I just ;a; 

lol the editor and ritsu becoming friends makes so much sense and is sweet. 

ep 20: 

“shigure, it’s evening. maybe you should try and get your sleep schedule sorted?” I feel so called out rn lol. 

kisa is such a good baby i love her. i’m tohru. 

ooohhhhh isn’t this hiro? i remember this ep, too. he likes kisa, i think. from what I remember of the 01 anime, akito beat the shit out of kisa in front of him, and put her in the hospital which is all kinds of fucked up. 

hiro is such a brat lol, but at the same time, I get it. I know he’s acting out because he doesn’t know how to process and handle what happened to kisa and how he couldn’t protect her. 

kyo’s anger at him is relatable, though lmao. I hate how hiro treats tohru, even if I understand it. 

kyo getting so offended on tohru’s behalf we love to see development <3 

i love momiji. that is all <3

kyo keeps defending tohru and i love it. 

sadly, shigure is right. akito would never permit such a thing. 

lool kyo is definitely still in his rebellious phase. xD

“which led akito to injure kisa so badly it took her two weeks for her to fully heal” jesus... akito is the fucking worst. 

yeah, and hiro can’t take his anger out on akito. that would be disobedience, and if akito can put a little girl in the hospital for two weeks and almost take out a man’s eye, and abuse yuki for as long as it happened... who knows what else he can do? 

“of the two of us, I’m not the one who’ll be sorry in the end.” OOHOOOOOO. what is shigure’s plan, here? is he wanting to take down akito or help? both? I get the feeling that shigure wants the curse broken because he can’t stand how akito behaves, but still has fondness/love for akito. 

poor hiro. it’s nearly impossible to stand up to your abusers, especially when they have power over you. it’s so disgusting what these kids have to endure and go through because of what they are, and because of akito. I think akito might be the worst part about all of this. the preconceptions, such as the cat being excluded, of terrorizing all of the zodiac members... the curse could’ve been less painful for all of them if akito wasn’t such a jackass. 

glad to see hiro trying to be nicer to tohru. hope that continues!
