The look without shine

So, it really was Amane.

And yes, they share the same entity, since always, as I have already mentioned in thousands of posts out there.

It's always been here…Always.

This made me think… that tired look in Amane's eyes… That vague and lost look in Tsukasa's eyes… two lost children who had their innocence stolen by a "thing".

What that thing, what that entity made them become… all for one wish, the wish to save each other…

The wish that took them both deeper, further away from the salvation they so desperately sought. It's painful to see how far they could go for salvation.

To see that even in the "ideal reality" they wouldn't have salvation, neither of them…

Amane trying to do what it takes to save the one he loves, but being devoured equally by what Tsukasa was pulled into.

I can understand why Tsukasa gave up, why he wouldn't come back. Why should he prolong the suffering? In truth, it was Amane who should have left in the first place.

But neither of them accept this pain.

To see those tired eyes, trying their best to continue holding on to this painful love.

Seeing Amane in that state

Didn't make me think about guilt, about villainy, about whether or not he was responsible for all of this or that everything that was happening was his fault, or even the people or what was left of them screaming from the other side of the windows for Mitsuba to run away.

I was thinking about the weight, how those eyes of his reflected an emptiness, a darkness, a tiredness that apparently no one could help alleviate.

How could someone so hurt, hurt other people… the fear of pain, the fear of loss, the "injustice".

Why would Tsukasa have to have a twin who would die so soon? Why would he have to suffer with the death of his beloved brother? In the same way, why would Amane have to lose Tsukasa?

The injustice of life.

The twins made innocent people pay because of their tragic fate, even if no one was to blame for Amane having that terminal illness, even if Tsukasa had chosen to leave, no one should pay for their happiness.

So that look… that tired look of someone who knows what they are doing, of someone who knows that the choice they have made and are making is wrong, but still keeps moving forward because the world is not "fair". Because they want to live next to the person they love.

The look without light, without shine…Just wanting to live again…just wanting happiness..

It makes me particularly sad, their fate is the same…

Maybe, we have the same thoughts….Tsuchigomori….

The most self-indulgent crossover art award goes toooooo... MEEEE!

Seriously, this was solely because I wanted to draw my three current favourite boys together in one picture... and because I had this wacky idea of Yoh getting isekai'd into the year of our lord 2021 (since sk8 takes place there, or at least was released then) and getting forcibly addicted to tiktok

this scene is so important to me because post-school mystery mitsuba has just had his main motivations as to be a person, be someone with an identity. hes a whole different entity from mitsuba the og but hes trying so hard to emulate that sense of humanity and this scene is so integral to that because its this exchange of, “you care for me like im a person and not just a jumbled mess of somebody else’s memories” and kou’s reaction to that and realizing this and i just.... guys im not okay

Let me spoil you bbg 🤭🤭

Aoinene inspired by bubbline but it went off track and i kinda gave up on it

[mooechi]

what if

what if i

hananene-fied..

i actually did it

slowly slipping back into my tbhk phase like

plz gove mea ur lunchmoney i need to buy the jshk manga @silliestsakura

[mysteriousmissme]

ok i need someone to lay this out for me because im lwk confused :,)

in ch113 we saw a yugi twin as a teacher in the academy in the past

which we all assumed was tsukasa instead of amane, bc of the butterfly effects (amane most likely would’ve died if tsukasa never traded his soul for the red house supernatural).

and then this below kinda proved it..?

but it turned out that in ch115, amane actually became a teacher , because nene sees him in the science prep room (or at least a memory of him bc of all the time colliding things happening)

and it’s fs amane because of the pupils and it’s just obviously amane bc nene recognizes him as hanako.

so then if in this timeline, amane never got sick and ended up becoming a teacher, then he has to be the teacher in ch113 who was watching the tsukasa ritual.

and the actual tsukasa is still a 4 y/o, who ended up taking amane’s place as the supernatural who haunts the school, but we don’t know how yet.

so someone please explain this i’m so confused haha atp im just trusting aidairo w however the story goes and im rlly excited for this arc!!

On chapter 6 of the spin-off, Teru seems genuinely surprised to learn Akane thinks he hates him.

Teru talks as if he wants to change this view, but his “oh is nothing personal” moment is followed by him calling Akane a half-roach and explaining that he is bullying him because he likes having a stress relief toy.

The interesting thing here is that Teru is being honest.

He does use Akane to relieve stress and gets joy when he bullies him, always smiling when kicking his ass and keeping up the habit to make Akane's life hard even in later arcs where they are more chill with each other.

His monologue can be easily seen as a verbal beating, which in a way, it absolutely is, he did not have to be this direct, but it only started in the first place because he was answering Akane’s question of “why do you set up so many traps for me?”

And since that is all Akane had asked, that is all he got.

Teru tends to assume way too much, he overestimated how perceptive Akane is, finding no reason to share important details about how he views him.

There is absolutely no way Akane can tell from his borderline insults that Teru thinks he is wise or nice to talk to. He didn’t provide even implications about it outside, arguably, his casual attitude.

Is no wonder Akane assumes Teru's view of him is simply “you’re amusing/ my stress relief toy.” for a while, and any show of trust or care from Teru either startled Akane or makes him uncomfortable.

They have built a more solid friendship after the severance, but since the start of the manga, Teru did not hate Akane.

Teru even used his most ‘this is how I make friends!’ tactic on Akane, which is asking questions about his life and wanting to know him better. He gets very excited about new information and remembers everything he learns about Akane.

learning information is how Teru shows interest in people, just take a look on how he approaches Aoi, always full of questions.

Teru forces Akane to give him answer though, he is consistently far more aggressive with Akane than anyone else he seems to cares about.

Is it because Akane is half supernatural? Surprisingly no, not quite.

He acknowledged Akane’s seat and that his power is supernatural, but he doesn’t lump him with the other supernaturals, he never refers to Akane as 'supernatural’ or ‘No.1′, seeing him as either ‘Aoi’ or ‘human’.

To Teru, Akane is a human with supernatural powers, not a supernatural.

And he acknowledge both Akane’s distaste for supernaturals and that the contract was half forced. He would have never given him glasses to “live his life like he used to” if he didn’t believe in Akane’s humanity above all else.

Teru treats him as a human.

Him calling Akane a half roach in this extra is an exception, I searched all other extras and manga panels and couldn’t find it being said again, or being refered as a sort of stress. The relay interview explicitly tell us Teru’s issue with Akane have nothing to do with supernaturals.

It makes me believe Teru is just being a dick in the spin off.

It is in his nature to annoy Akane whenever there is an opportunity after all.

Just compare it to how he treats Nene. 

Her situation with the mermaid curse would make her half supernatural, arguably even more supernatural than Akane, since Akane’s contract has a time limit, and lifespan issue aside, it is implied Nene would have never gotten rid of the mermaid curse even if she lived till 100 years. 

Because he sees her as a human first, he never focuses on the mermaid curse or reprimands her for walking with supernaturals, instead accepting that her fate to die is already set in stone, and treating her with a lot of kindness. She is still alive after all. And most of his hatred for supernaturals comes from the danger they represent towards human life, is not a hatred as blind as people make it out to be.

So why does he treat Akane so badly?

His excuse that he can’t exorcise a half roach like Akane and that stresses him, is contradicted twice in the same chapter, seemingly connecting this ‘stress relief’ job more to the idea of Akane being his vice president than him being half supernatural.

It makes no sense, and Akane calls him out on it, reprimanding him for being a dick.

I personally believe the reason Teru use “vice president” as an excuse, is because that’s an Akane only role. There is no other student council vice-president, just as there is no other person that would come back to the student council every day even after getting this treatment.

Akane’s reaction to this nonsense is mostly comedic annoyance, so Teru acts like a kid and keeps doing it. If Akane was genuinely hurt by his behavior Teru would stop.

He always sobers up when the people he cares about are in genuine distress. He hates delivering bad news, or being unable to do anything.

When he sees his actions have consequences, he either avoids the problem or awkwardly tries to change, similar to a learning child.

A lot of what he does feels like a learning child. For as hard as he can be to understand, he is surprisingly consistent in his honesty, genuine to an almost childish extent.

Many things that would be rude to ask, or embarrassing to admit, are things Teru is upfront about. He has absolutely no tact, and while he is aware he is being rude on many occasions, he simply does not care about it.

This childish behavior clashes really nicely with his personal belief that ignorance is bliss.

In his own way, he is being kind by keeping everyone in the dark, truly believing that accepting that Nene's fate can’t be changed and focusing on making her happy without acknowledging she will die is the best he can do, that not telling Kou he believes he is too weak for exorcism and that he envies such weakness is the best alternative: That not hurting anyone is the best.

And while this misguided thought is based on kindness, since he doesn’t want people to get hurt, it is also cowardly: He doesn’t want himself to be hurt either. He is scared of it.

People being depressed upsets him. So he avoids it.

People he care about hating him makes his entire world crash. So he avoids it.

He locked himself in his room because he understood that he fucked up in his fight with Kou, and was convinced that Kou hate him for it. “Sees him as a villain" or a liar, or just someone that he has outgrown.

It's why he completely changed his attitude when he realized Kou is worried about him.

Teru is an undeniably stubborn, and arrogant, but he is not cruel. It's why he gets out of his comfort zone, completely forgets about the fireworks, and tries to explain himself when he realizes how Kou feels (sad and guilty) is not how he had assumed ( “kou hates me”).

 He tries to fix his mistakes by giving Kou a choice after every downside is laid on the table..

He tries to set aside his insecurities and not take how Kou no longer prioritize him as a personal attack.

And he is delighted when he gets the reassurance he was too scared to ask.

This attempt to change his approach with Kou is constant too, is a break in routine, which takes effort to change, is not easy, but he’ll try his best.

Which ties back to why he never changed his approach with Akane.

Akane never has a serious talk about Teru’s behavior he just kind of... rolls with it, just accepting that he will be Teru’s stress toy. He may not be happy about it but he doesn’t do anything to make Teru fear that he will be hated if he continues to treat Akane like this: Akane doesn’t cry, doesn’t try to injure Teru back, or start avoiding him, Teru has no signs this treatment sticks to Akane, or that Akane truly hates him.

Which, surprisingly, is true.

Akane brushes off any bullying in the span of one page or two: In chapter 29 Akane was stuck for 1 hour completely unable to move, his body growing numb, and he got over it and changed focus in the 5 minutes Nene came to visit. No fear in sight. He is just built diferent.

Not to imply that Teru isn’t insane with every character.

He may not be as rude and eager to share his thoughts as he is with Akane but he is still a bad liar/ far from princely.
