#tenma parents

[fruity-fruition]

My thoughts on Tenma Parents!

I am the Tenma parents' number #1 defender in a way. I still think they fucked up Tsukasa, but not intentionally.

(fyi, Tsukasa is definitely a mama's boy and I don't accept criticism. Saki's on the contrary)

I think Tsukasa's parents loved both him and Saki equally, unlimitedly, and wholeheartedly. The sad reality is that life handed the entire family a shitty deck of cards. And while love is unlimited, time and attention isn't.

They try their best, they genuinely do, but it's difficult juggling their job AND an ill child AND another child.

Due to Saki's (uncontrollable!! Remember!!) condition, one of the parents has to be with her nearly at all times and the other one has to work for the additional hospital bills (since the government can't cover some surgeries or procedures. Idk how it works in Japan but)

They try to be there for Saki and Tsukasa a lot but they do notice growing concerns abt both of them.

Saki's getting quiet, nearly bursting into tears every time Tsukasa or any of them leaves the hospital room. She clings on to people a lot to the point of where it hurts.

Tsukasa's getting quiet too. He thinks they don't notice, since he's trying to act upbeat and cheery in front of Saki to cheer her up, but they can't ignore... that. Whatever is happening to him.

They both don't know what to do.

Despite their best efforts, Tsukasa was still left home alone most of his late childhood and early teens.

They don't have favourites, but after a while, they can't say they know their son anymore. They saw him grow up without them, and it's the most heartbreaking thing to not be there.

--

They had to miss his middle school graduation. They tried to take time off work, but neither of them got off fast enough to reach the ceremony. Both only saw him that day at the hospital.

But Tsukasa lied. Lied to Saki's face, because he didn't want to upset her.

Tsukasa's mom: "Sweetheart, we're so sorry-"

Tsukasa: "-that you had to leave the ceremony early? It's okay!"

Their parents look at him confused because the issue is that they weren't even there. But Tsukasa gave them eyes, begging them to play along.

Tsukasa's mom: "...yeah. y-yeah, work called in and we really couldn't avoid it much longer"

Tsukasa lets out a sigh of relief before nodding and smiling "really! It's okay!"

When leaving Saki's ward, his mom asked him why he lied, and he just looked at her and shook his head.

Tsukasa: "...Saki does this thing, where she blames herself for stuff she can't control. I-I don't know how I know it, but I'm sure she'll do the same if she found out you weren't there. I don't want to see her doing that."

Outside, his mom pulls him into a hug, whispering apology after apology as she holds him. He kept insisting, it's fine! Really! He's a future star, with loads of celebration to come! Who cares if they missed one?

His mom looks at him, with genuine sadness, and asks him to be honest with her. Is he upset?

She noticed him froze, before shaking his head.

Tsukasa: "Not at all, mom! I understand why you both couldn't make it"

Tsukasa's mom: "...You can understand and still be upset. You're allowed to be"

But despite her best efforts to make her son open up, he still shakes his head and tells her it's alright.

She thinks he doesn't know that she knows. She knows that he wants them to worry less about him, which made them worry more.

--

She learned from Saki that Tsukasa doesn't have a lot of friends. He never mentions it a lot to Saki, but every time Saki asks him if he'd be hanging out with people, he just looks at her confused.

Tsukasa: "Why would I hang out with other people when I have the most incredible sister in the world!"

When he started to open up to her again, later in the future, when everything had settled down and life was beginning to move steady, she'll learn that his classmates think he's overbearing.

He wasn't getting bullied, nor was he actually disliked. But in terms of friends? They think he's a bit too loud, too tiring to deal with. Some even think he's a bit too selfish.

She would argue about that final point with her life. Because if anything, she wishes Tsukasa thought of himself more.

--

They learned more about him when he was 17. They learned about his friends, his troupe, his work, and how close he's gotten towards achieving his dreams. They're so unbelievably proud of him. He's grown into such an incredible person.

They just wished they could've taken the credit.

--

They loved their children equally. Even when Toya was pulled into the frame and they unknowingly gained a third, they loved him all the same.

But there's a difference in loving and knowing, because their son felt far more distant to them than their daughter. And they're trying their absolute best to fix that rift before it's too late

--

Both Tsukasa and Saki suffered majorly in their life, both in vastly different ways. But in terms of parents, I think Tsukasa got the short end. But not intentionally, y'know? It's like. Accidental child neglect.

chat as someone who went through/is going through the same predicament as tsukasa with his family i think his parents are in the right 🤷‍♀️ imagine having a sibling with chronic illness. of course your parents need to spend a lot of time with that sibling, even if it neglects your own needs. I've been denied a shitton of things I wanted as a kid cause my parents had to pay hospital bills, and even if it made me sad, it was for the best of my sibling, the same way tsukasa was denied attention from his parents for the best of his sibling. tsukasa understood what was happening and he understood that it was to keep his sister happy and healthy. so if you use tsukasa being "neglected" as a way to give him parent issues and angst um :/

Reblog this to scare tenma parents haters

[dailyaoyagi]

I was rereading SDSC for more screenshots to post here and it put me in a certain mood again.

[prosekaiuwu]

What's Toya thinking about today?

It's... Emu's older brother??

For context: one of my favorite, I guess series, of PRSK fanfic that I've read revolves around Toya's older brothers (he has bio siblings for anyone who doesn't know, we just don't know what they look or sound like, nor do we have any names for them). It's fun and I like seeing their dynamic. Iirc, one (or both) of them calls Toya "Little Maestro."

And one of them, don't ask which I don't remember, just so happens, to be exes with Shousuke Otori, Emu's second eldest brother.

Hoshie is probably THE most tragical character out of the franchise and nobody ever speaks about her and only about the men. She too lost her son, was forced too early to have to move on from him because her husband's grief worked like that and he imposed it on everybody, yet she truly grew to love his replacement for being his own person and lost him too when it turned out it wasn't enough for her husband's mourning process after all and died without seeing him again after having seen him being a slave and being unable to do anything about it and getting disgusting by the man she loved. She died alone, believed to be crazy and delirious, and heartbroken, maybe literally if her heart attack was due to broken heart syndrome

And I'm so fucking mad Atom the Beginning makes her an afterthought to just focus on original characters and the guy scientists, that was the opportunity to develop her and her romance with her husband further and make her outcome even more tragic, but noooo we can't have nice things

“Second year Kajiyama High Students” — Tsukasa Tenma, Rui Kamishiro, Ena Shinonome

[ssruis]

I think one thing saki is super thankful of wxs for is occupying tsukasa’s time so he spends less time working himself up & having neurotic little fits thinking she’s in trouble. like make no mistake she loves her brother & finds his bizarre behavior endearing rather than embarrassing (for the most part) (& he’s not grossly overprotective in a way that limits what she wants to do. Thank god.) but also this is the man who charged into a haunted house bc he heard her scream and ran home in a panic because he found out she lied about her plans for the day. Now he has other outlets for his insanity besides worrying about her. Like worrying about being exploded into orbit.

Asks for any of the Oniyanagi you want to answer these questions for! (I can't think of Nami middle infirmary boy's name but him especially!)

🌾- How does this oc get along with people they just met?

🍀- Around when does this oc get up in the morning?

❄- What is this oc's favorite and least favorite food?

Hi Muffin! Thank you for sending this in hehe I'll be answering this for Hiyori (Sun Guardian & infirmary boy XD) and Shiki (Cloud Guardian)!

I don't get to draw them a lot compared to the trio, so I decided to color my sketch for them being a little bitch to e/o (Shiki started it tho). Colors subject to minor changes like the exact shade lol like Hiyori's hair is supposed to be pink why does it look purple-ish in my other screen what the hell

How does this oc get along with people they just met?

Hiyori: Even before the main story started in Daily Life Arc, he has always been a blunt but polite & hardworking honor student who's well-liked by teachers and fellow students alike. He gets along with people with basic human decency and respect if there's really no reason to be mean to them. But he won't be the one to usually reach out just to socialize.

Fast forward to when he gets dragged by KanaRumi to being involved with all this yakuza business --- If he senses the smallest bit of "not being normal" towards someone he just met, he's definitely judging you. He thinks KanaRumi and their guardians are all freaks, and he's the only normal one lmao (he also started swearing a lot because of them)

Shiki: Shiki has a preference for hanging out with people he looks up to. His criteria are those who he thinks are cool and are extremely talented/skilled at what they do. So the first thing he does when meeting someone is to judge them on whether or not they're someone who fits those criteria 😭😭

If they fit, he's very nice and polite with them. If you're in the upper ranks (yeah...he ranks them...), it would like he's a kid interacting with his favorite superhero ro some shit like that. If they don't fit, good luck because he's going to be very mean to you.

Around when does this oc get up in the morning?

Hiyori: As the most normal person in the Oniyanagi guardians (😭😭😭), he gets up at around 6AM in the morning. He even follows a morning routine before going to school, which includes doing light exercises and going for a short jog, since he really wants to maintain his health. He aspires to be a doctor, so what good would it be if he, himself, is not in good health?

Shiki: If it's a school day, then he tries his best to wake up at around 6-7AM. But the problem is that, he often spends his nights either gaming/streaming or going on missions, so he wakes up later than expected. If it's not on a school day or if his health issues start flaring up, he wakes up at around noon (earliest) or afternoon(latest).

What is this oc's favorite and least favorite food?

Hiyori: His favorite food is...his mom's cooking (🥹💖✨✨✨ Hiyoriiinnn what a good boy ueueueue). His least favorite food are spicy foods, as well as Kurumi and Bianchi's cooking. He thinks they're all health hazards.

Shiki: His favorite food is "any instant food", from instant noodles, convenience store food to canned goods, as long as its tasty enough. Anything that can be prepared on the go, because he thinks he has other better things to do (gaming) than to spend a long time cooking a balanced meal. His least favorite food are the stale and tasteless ones they serve you at the hospital.

If you consider all Tenmas to, at some level, be the same Tenma then its almost funny to count up his trauma quotient. The dude has been surrounded by death. He lost his parents when he was young, he lost his wife (even before Tobio in some variants if I'm getting the read of 03 right), Ochanomizu had a brush with death, and then Tobio is a given....he must think he's cursed or some shit

[r0bita]

I get that a lot of people prefer Ochanomizu as Astro Boy's default parent over Astro's robots parents. But I always thought it made sense because he's pretty much already old and he kind of plays as a more grandfather-type role than anything else. I see this as him thinking ahead on the chance that he may not always be around for Astro, both due to age and occupation - the same reason he has Shunsaku Ban involved in educating him. He doesn't want to make the same mistake as Tenma did with neglecting Tobio and being alone in raising Atsro. So he gives Astro a support group.

I know that his parents are still impressionable and learning, but I would fault that to them being asigned in to dated comic relief roles and setting a lighter/domestic tone in the original manga and anime.

They are basically foster/adoptive (more like adopted) parents. Astro's mother is shown to be more capable but still new to the role than Astro's father, who is frankly a huge goof and susceptible to mistakes and possibly learning from how other human parents discipline their kids (which feels more like Tezuka critiquing on actual parenting methodologies of the time, he does that a lot and it's not that subtle if you look).

I believe that behind the scenes Ochanomizu would have to be the one educating them on how to parent, since he probably has *some* experience as a possible educator. Ochanomizu created them, so they are just as much Ochanomizu's children as Astro, Cobalt, and Uran are.

I think Emu likes dragging Nene along for "shopping sprees" completely unprompted and without warning, as to ensure Nene doesn't have a lot of money on her at the time and they just end up window shopping most of the time, talking about what they would like to buy but not actually getting it. And then after they part ways Emu writes down all the things she remembers Nene wanted and buys them in between some periods of time to "randomly" gift her out of nowhere

Neen has caught onto this at some point and was at first a bit guilty, but then she always sees how much Emu likes spoiling her and buying her things, especially since she has a lot of money to spare, so she doesn't stop her. Instead she always gets Emu something small she can afford that Emu commented she wants during the shopping sprees

Random ships to consider (i like their dynamics in my mix n’ match au :DD and doesn’t really have to be considered “romantic” per say could be a friendship type thing!!)

RuiEna

Mafusaki

Akihona

Shizukasa

Shihoan

These ships in my au are not necessarily canon? But they have the most interactions that are interesting and ship worthy.

Tenma (before the tragedy, so when "happy") when alone or with people : smug, grumpy, proud, angry-looking, resting bitch face, cocky, tense, clenched fists, doesn't hide his annoyance when bothered, must be an asocial introvert who made it all the way up and wants to be left alone with his god complex and his love for glory

Tenma (before the tragedy AND between Atom's birth and the realization Atom isn't Tobio, so when "happy") when he's alone with Hoshie, Tobio and the early times with Atom : grins when welcomed home, sweet smiles, soft spoken, gentle, genuine, patient, proud and eager to surprise them, content, happy, you see they really were the only people he cared for he was happy to see again when coming home even if he were a workaholic which he was aware of and feeling guilty for and in fact willing to change sadlytoolate and they anchored him into sanity and he really lost his mind when he lost them
