#this bitch a whole fruit basket

[housewifebuck]

[ricksanchezbignaturals]

ik this isn't new or anything but the fact that aside from morty, the whole smith/sanchez house is canonically queer is so freaking cool! seriously how did this show amass so many anti sjw reddit ass men as a fanbase when 80% of the main characters are queer? i think summer got a female love interest in 2019 and beth's whole sapphic horse girl thing happened last season, but jerry and rick have been canon since season 2.

like idk im just saying this show is awfully gay and has been for a while. i genuinely don't get it when i see people bitching about rick and morty going woke or whatever.

i don't have anything like intellectual to say about the representation or queer themes in the show, it just makes me happy. having a family sitcom where the family is a fruit basket with one token straight isn't exactly a common occurrence, and it just so happens that's what my family's like. shoutout to morty and my mother, we love our allies

season 7 spoilers

YESSSSSS summer gf arc?

anyways i doubt she's coming back i just think it'd be pretty sick and dope if she did

CHPT 7-9

@journeythroughjourneytothewest

Chpt 7

•”All this was probably refined in his stomach by the Samadhi fire to form a single solid mass” I know other deities can use the fire but I’m wracking my brain for when it used before(this point) specifically- My understanding was the furnace refined the immortal elixirs and fruit- I’m going to assume Laozi is just theorizing and doesn’t know what actually happened

•Diamond body….👀

•Erlang gets absolutely DRIPPED out, he earned it FR

•eyes permanently irritated by the smoke churned up the the Xun trigram, someone get this man some eye drops

•he is extra pissed

•HE JUST BODIES LAOZI IM YELLING😂

•”this cosmic being fully fused with nature’s gifts passes with ease through 10,000 toils and tests”

•Big war form out to beat serious ass, he’s not jokin bitch

•” bright and luminous; ….illustrious pearl of mani he is indeed” MMMMM comparing him to a mani- a flaming (wish granting) jewel is hilarious 💀

•Tathagata bringing in the big guns (himself)

•”how tf do you know The Way and not know who I am?? And you’re so….violent” I can sense the side eye

•I wonder if Wukong has previous incarnations?? Buddha says he just reached human form this incarnation but if his rock was there at the beginning of creation, wouldn’t his soul be ‘baking’ (for lack of a better term) the whole time until he hatched?

•” and with a total lack of respect he left a bubbling pool of monkey urine” Iconic moment LMAOOOO

•smart for Wukong to leave a momento- too bad it didn’t matter lol

•ah so he was jumping to visit the pillars again, not run away(supposedly)- he’d rather prove he’s right than escape💀 that checks out

•monkey has been squished, it is now party o’clock

•are you allowed to give the Buddha drugs if it’s an offering? Like wine??🤔 “wtf is this allowed? Wtf”

•”Wukong is wiggling out”

“Dw, take this”

*slaps tag on the mountain like flex tape*

•enough room to breathe and move his hands- I would lose my mind

•Molten copper & iron pellets mimic punishments in hell (just learned this🙏), shedding the Karma like water -I feel like 500 years is pretty good tbh considering everything

Woe molten metal and iron upon ye

Chpt 8 + 9 under cut:

Chpt 8:

•lots of lovely poems in this chapter

•a paragraph recap of the past 7 chapters

•wonder what Feast of the Ullambana Bowl is? (the notes say it’s a mass for the dead and is also know as the Ghost festival, practiced by Taoists and Buddhists)

•”the Chan mind shines bright like a thousand rivers’ moon; true nature’s pure and great as an unclouded sky.”

Lovely poem, and I’m beginning to realize this book is very heavily focused on the Chan school, which I don’t know why I didn’t pick up on sooner? White-Robed Guan Yin is a Chan specific form, usually depicted in their bamboo grove

•Tathagata reveals his 3 baskets of scripture after everyone is done presenting their poems, feels almost like he suggested the celebration to announce these

•Each basket corresponds to scriptures of Heaven, Earth, and the Damned- a total of 15,144 FUCKING SCROLLS

•oooo Guanyin poem!! “ a golden body filled with wisdom, fringes of dangling pearls and jade, …dark hair piled smartly in a coiled-dragon bun. With brows of new moon shape and eyes like two bright stars, her jadelike face beams natural joy. …Her orchid heart delights in green bamboos; her chaste nature loves the wisteria. The living Guanyin from the Cave of Tidal Sound.”

•5 Talismans: Embroidered Cassock that will protect him from falling back into the Wheel of Transmigration, a 9 ring priestly staff that will protect him from poison or harm, 3 tightening fillets- the Golden, the Constructive, and the Prohibitive Spell.

•Guanyin thinks this will take about 2 to 3 years💀 hooooo boy….

•FLOWING SAND RIVER!!! MY 2ND FAV BOY!!!

•Green and Black complexion, Gleaming eyes like the lights beneath a stove, forked mouth with teeth like knives and swords, and disheveled red hair

•like that Wujing is using a priest staff he def took from one of the monks he ate lol

•Wujing fighting Moksa for his life only to drop everything to apologize and talk to Guanyin LMAO

•MOKSA PICKS HIM UP BY THE COLLAR AKFKAKDJDJ

•ah, so Wujing didn’t reincarnate, he was changed, STABBED OVER 100 TIMES EVERY 7 DAYS AND FORCED TO COMMIT CANNABILSM SO HE DOESNT STARVE AS PUNISHMENT- THATS JUST LOVELY😭

•I like the interpretation that he could have been trying to signal a coup by breaking the crystal cup

•Guanyin hearing about Wujing’s string of skulls: it’s a surprise tool that will help us later

•BAJIE TIME

•this idiot bro “HOW DARE YOU TRY TO GET FLOWER PETALS IN MY EYES!!” “IDIOT THAT WAS GUANYIN” “…Guanyin is here??” “LOOK UP”

•Wuneng is reincarnated, he got beat to death in Heaven for hitting on Chang’e LMAOOOOO GET REKT

•ah yes, casually mentions killing his pig family and then his life of eating humans. Lovely.

•AO LIE TIME

•I committed a little accidental arson, please bail me out

•Damn, he got a really short intro

•interesting that Guanyin id’s the Peach Banquet as Wukongs fall from grace. I would def agree with this- eating the peaches like he did was extremely reckless and the beginning of the end imo

•”who tf is talking shit up there”

•No one has ever visited Wukong, I’m guessing the Guards were horrible company

•I like how both Guanyin and Sanzang try to give Wukong a religious name- Guanyin is very happy to hear he has the Wu- prefix as well lol

•arrived in Chang’an, let the hunt begin

Chpt 9:

•Chang’an bb, all blooming flowers surrounded by 8 rivers (DAMN, that’s a lot of water)

•Guangrui got first place in the examination, good for him UwU

•SURPRISE WIFE

•”gave the girl to Guangrui as his bride” UM I THINK SHES THE ONE WHO GRABBED HIM LMAO

•Guangrui has some fated beef with these two random boatmen, Liu Hong and Li Biao- states that he was destined in a previous incarnation to be enemies with them, is this a result of bad karma?

•NOOOOOO MY GUY GUANGRUI

•Liu Hong reminds me of Liu’er Mi-*gunshot*

•since they’re at the bottom of the Hong river, which Dragon King is this?

•Golden Carp coming in clutch, nice

•LADY YIN IS SO METAL LETS GO “she hated the bandit so bitterly that she wished she could devour his flesh and sleep on his skin” DO IT GURL, KILL HIM

•damn, too bad she’s pregnant with Sanzang….dw Girl I know you would kick his ass otherwise…

•there goes his toe…

•get named River Float idiot

•damn bro chill, that wasn’t very monk-like of you

•homie got called an orphan and cried JAKDJSJFJ I FEEL BAD

•she didn’t even check the toe I THOUGHT SHE DID- WHAT WAS THE POINT LMAO

•nvmnd

•I guess licking the eyes is better than spitting on them…sigh…

•GODDAMN THEY RIPPED LIU HONG AND LI BAIO APART….good for them, deserved in fact

•Lady Yin committing suicide even after she was reunited with her husband makes sense, as there was a trend where wives whose husbands died or they were assaulted, killed themselves. This was show loyalty to their husbands and add weight to their claim of SA- Lady Yin’s husband coming back does not change the fact that everyone knows she was forcefully married :((

(I use the term ‘trend’ only as a way to describe the rise and fall in wife suicides tied to either a husbands death or as a response to SA)

Pick which anime series I Finish or Start next

I have trouble finishing and starting series, so Tumblr is my accountability police. Last time, you told me to catch up with My Hero Academia, and I'm about to start season 7. Since it's still releasing and I can watch the dubbed episodes that are out in probably a day, here's a new poll (with some new options to keep things interesting). Propaganda* (*my thoughts/explanations/rationalizations) below the poll.

Propaganda:

Tribe Nine - Anyone who actually watched this did so for Corpse Husband and Corpse Husband only (but it's actually not bad and I got busy while it was airing so iirc I haven't finished it).

AOT - Yeager? Jaeger? Eh who cares we're all here for Levi anyway. Prev poll has the main propaganda but TLDR: watched s1, busy when s2 aired, never got back to it, want to.

Fruits Basket 2019 - I'M PRETTY SURE I HAVEN'T FINISHED S3 BUT I BLAME THE [totally legitimate anime streaming service I use 🏴‍☠️] BECAUSE IT USED TO HIGHLIGHT THE EPISODE HYPERLINKS BUT THEN IT STOPPED SO I LOST MY PRECISE PLACE. THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M SORRY DON'T JUDGE ME I LOVE FRUITS BASKET!

Sk8 the Infinity - I will be watching the dub. Whether you consider that a pro or a con toward your voting decision is up to you. Personally, I'm excited.

Buddy Daddies - It's basically that, right? Just with 2 assassins? Also Rei Suwa is fine.

The Apothecary Diaries - I have seen precisely one (1) clip from this show and Maomao already has my whole heart.

Girlfriend!kiri sully hcs

Rated E

Love language is giftbgiving and we find that out very early on when she starts giving you random things before she has the nerve to ask you out

Little flowers she’s collected, brackets she’s made, hand woven pieces of clothing

Very quiet in front of others but when it’s just you she opens up so much it’s crazy

Yap city Fr

Only ends up actually asking you out after one of her brothers had goaded her into believing they were gonna as you put if she didn’t (it was lo’ak let’s be fr)

Asks you by bring you foraging with her but really it was just an excuse to get you alone

Gathers flowers and gives them to you while pulling a whole nervous ramble confession

“Okay so ik we’ve been friends for a while but I don’t want that anymore. Wait not that I don’t wanna be your friend I love being your friend you’re a great friend it’s just. Like I like you and I mean well obviously I like you we wouldn’t be friends if I didn’t but I-“

Takes her a minute but she gets there

Despite her giving love language being gifts she loves to receive words of affirmation

Practically purrs when you tell her how good she’s doing, how strong she is, what a good healer she’s gonna be

Isn’t huge on pda at all and I feel like she tries to hide it from her family for a little bit but like once she tells them they’re like “we know?”

“Guys me and —— are dating” “Baby girl you come home giggling everytime you two hang out. Why do you think we stopped letting her sleep over? ”- Jake

After that does get better ABOIT being affectionate in public but not by much

In private tho, like honey on fingers she’s stuck to you

Plays with your hair, hoping your hand, leaning on you, laying in you

“Kir can you move just a bit” “No” “I can’t feel my arm.” “Then it can’t bother you that much”

On that note so sassy once she’s comfortable like she cannot hide how she’s feeling with her face and she doesn’t even try with her mouth

Which makes for one of two out comes when shes jealous

Despite her willingness to give a dirty look and speak up she’s definitely gonna need reassurance once your outta the situation

One- “she’s taken” deadpan voice, arm around you waist staring down who ever decided to get a little to cozy near you.

Or

Two- just silent seething watching you interact with someone who clearly isn’t her. So much so that eventually the person excuses themselves just to escape her glare

“They’d probably be better for you than me anyway.” “Kiri no body wants them, your perfect for me and I don’t want anyone else”

Don’t take much you could tell her”that man isn’t shit” and she’s be like okay :)

Slow soft kisser

Refuses to initiate in the beginning but once she’s comfortable she’ll make any excuse to get you alone and kiss up on you

Cradles your jaw and places a hand on your hip, let’s her fingers trace lazy shapes on them

Lives for a peck, she might have healer duties but all them bitches can stay sick if you haven’t given her a kiss goodbye yet

“Babe your gonna be late” “then come here faster??”

Can’t cook sorry

Tried her hardest learn but it won’t be edible so don’t even try

The pandora equivalent to pigs wouldn’t be at what she makes

But she can hand make things, will weave you baskets or sow you blankets what

Light sleeper like super light sleeper. Surprisingly the only thing that won’t wake her up but instead puts her too sleep is the sound of her father and brother’s snoring

Sometimes Jake gets home early and takes naps, snores could shake down fruit from a tree but the sound of them will make her sleepy

Comfort thing tbh

Not a morning person because of this, she wakes up too many times at night for anyone to try and wake her up early

Only person who can do it without receiving death threats is you, neytiri, and tuk

And tuk is only cause she’s little and she’s feel bad threatening a child

“Kiri you have to get up” “fine :(” - you and her

“Kiri you have to get up” “I will skin you alive if you do not leave this cot in 5 seconds” - her and lo’ak

So grumpy but once she eats she’s fine

꒦‧₊ ꒷ Post Covid! team stan with a daughter who fights another kid [headcannons]✧.*

✧.* tags: post!covid, parents au ✧.* Characters: kenny mccormick, kyle broflovski, stan marsh, eric cartman, butters stotch a/n: my dad always told me if i have to punch someone just aim for the nose and I feel like they'd all have a similar philosophy (except for butters but sometimes you gotta punch a little bitch)

masterlist

Kyle

All he’s hearing is law suit ngl

Is he mad? No not at all, little fucker probably deserved it

He probably wishes he did that to cartman when they were younger

But also as the son of a lawyer he knows how annoying of a case this could be if they decide to press charges

“I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at the system for ”

Proceeds to scream at the system for the rest of the day, after getting ice cream ofc 

Stan

I feel like this would happen a lot

Idk i just feel like his kid with have a lot of rage against the world

Definitely not the first kid they sent to the hospital

He just sighs and asks the parents for their address to send an assorted fruit basket or smth

Secretly gives his kid a high five after hearing about the situation

Kenny 

He probably told his kid to beat the shit out of them ngl

“Always try to use your words. Unless it’s fucking Brianna. Then use your fist.”

Showed his kid to not tuck their thumb when they throw a punch

Lets out an audible “oh shit you fucked them up.” when they visit the kid

He trusts that his kid is able to assess situations and make good decisions

But is still a little like “okay you use your fist but like half the fist. I didn’t realize you were the fucking hulk”

Cartman

Dude is PROUD

The other parents better not DARE to try and reprimand him or his kid

The other kid’s parent bumps into him or something and he falls to the ground, sobbing and clutching his shoulder and claiming the other parent dislocated it or something

Threatens to sue THEM 

Now it’s a whole scene

Cartman’s in a wheelchair, acting as though gravity is slowly crushing him bc of the other parents

And they agree not to sue just to get him off their backs

He gets fucking lobster or something with his kid to celebrate

Butters

He is TERRIFIED to see the other parents

Definitely pays for any hospital bills though and apologizes that the situation got to that point

But when they start insulting his kid, he probably squares up because his kid wasn’t the one being a big stinking bully 

“Maybe if johnny wasn’t such a gosh darn dickhead to the others, he wouldn’t have gotten any bad karma?” 

After he leaves the hospital though he’s shaking like a fucking leaf dude

All his assertive energy for the week is SPENT

Takes his kid for a spa day so they can both relax or something lmao

[therxtking]

He's resorted to mentally reaching out and screaming at daemons he knows to see if it works.

To Khazaan he just calls out in a mental singsong voice and tangents for probably ten whole minutes about everything and nothing, especially how infuriating his predicament is and a million questions about said daemon. Every so often looping back to the "Can you hear me? No? I'll keep talking, I'm bored as fuck-"

To Gluttony it's more of just asking himself if he can even do that and if they've been around each other long enough for that. Thanks for the fruit basket, lots of love, how's the boyfriend. Bored out of his mind and could use a pen and paper.

To Ildazkhar it's a desperate cry, begging for their rescue in a back and forth between being a bitch in heat or screaming in anguish to be saved. They said they'd hear him if he called dammit he was calling. Lots of embarrassing begging, some suggestive pleading and admissions, and the more urgent distraught wails for help.

To Qhi'Zhek It's a quiet and polite knocking on the universe 'hellooooo? Qhi'zhek? Can you hear me? Anybody out there?' and explaining his trouble and asking if they could hear him could they be bothered to bring him some food and maybe some paper and pens...

To Khorne himself, the only of the chaos gods he really knew of, he was thinking of actual corn. He was bored and fucking around with anything at this point, asking if he was actually called Corn or if he was corn or he'd just horribly misunderstood this whole time. He's not expecting an answer and just entertaining himself. Also asking if they know his mom, Wrath (Or Ira if they were close like that) or any of his aunts, like Zicamaia or Pride.

[kitxkatrp]

Me, going through Fruits Basket screenshots

unpopular opinion: Akito had every fucking reason to be pissed at Shigure. He slept with her abusive bitch of a mother. What Akito did was wrong by sleeping with Kureno, but what Shigure did was on a whole nother level of fucked up and nobody talks about it.

[madara-fate]

Hey Maddie! Been a long time since we talked, i hope you're doing well. I'm in second year of Uni doing computer science now.

I was wondering if you have any romance manga recommendations, they don't need to have romance as the main genre, it can be a sub plot too. (I'd like if they don't have love triangles.)

Here's my MAL list for the manga I've finished: https://myanimelist.net/mangalist/Daniel1120&view=list&status=2

Hey buddy, long time no speak! I hope Uni's going well for you, to this day my years at Uni were the best 3 years of my life so far :D

To answer your question, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent romance anime that has no love triangles at all (unfortunately), but there are those that feature a love triangle as a relatively minor sub plot, rather than it being interwoven into the main plot, which is what I'll be mentioning below. I had a look at both your manga list and your anime list because I didn't wanna mention any shows you've read or watched before. So with that being said, some shows that have romance which I'd recommend include...

The Quintessential Quintuplets

My Dress-Up Darling

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Fruits Basket (2019+)

Your Lie in April

Zetsuen no Tempest

Kanon (2006)

However, there were always 3 romance shoujo that were untouchable for me in terms of my enjoyment. My all time top 3 shoujo are…

3. High School Debut

Because I really liked Haruna. She was such a dork most of the time, but at the same time such a tough, resilient and determined person. I remember one scene in particular where she confronted a group of girls because they were being, for lack of a better word, bitches, simply because they resented the fact that she had managed to get together with Yoh. And Haruna straight up fought the lot of them, to make it crystal clear that if they didn’t stop harassing her over Yoh, then they’d get a lot better acquainted with her fists. That was great.

2. Ore Monogatari

Because it was so cool to follow a shoujo being told from the guy’s perspective, and what an amazing guy Takeo is. He has a heart as big as his frame, while Rinko has a heart that matches the level of her cuteness, I really like their relationship. Furthermore, it was also so nice to see a shoujo where there were two main guys and one main girl, and there wasn’t a love triangle between the three of them. I was expecting Suna to get involved at some point, but instead he always stays back and helps the two of them with their relationship. Yet, he still manages to be the undisputed MVP of the whole show. What would those two do without Suna? Lol.

1. Lovely Complex

Because never have I enjoyed the dynamics of a relationship as much as I have for Risa and Otani. The “All Hanshin-Kyojin” comedy duo were always so entertaining to watch, and it was also so refreshing to see a relationship where the girl was taller. It was also a relief to see that it wasn’t one of those shows where neither of the protagonists said anything for essentially the entire story. Risa realised her feelings and confessed a relatively short while later. Otani may not have reciprocated immediately, but you could tell he was taking her seriously as he was shown to give it serious consideration for a long while. Furthermore, Otani wasn’t your typical “school prince” type male lead that is often so prevalent in shoujo mangas - he was short and rough around the edges, while Risa was tall but just as imperfect, so it was fascinating to see how they’d cope in going from the comedy duo to being in a serious romantic relationship. 

[cynical-mystic]

Hiya Mystic! I hope you're doing well.

Weirder Asks: #1, 9, 27, 35, & 43 please?

Ronin I am giving you forehead kisses right now (if that is okay with you)! I am doing wonderfully; I hope you are well! Thank you for the ask. ^.^

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

I have A LOT.

From ATLA, my comfort characters are Katara and Zuko, which is why I'm zutara all the way. They both have a lot of insecurities and struggles that I vibe with, and I love their overall vibe.

From FE3H, my comfort characters are Claude and Sylvain. Claude because he's cool as fuck and I love him, and Sylvain because I identify with him an insane amount.

From Fruits Basket it's 100% Kyo. I really feel the pain of blaming yourself for horrible things that have happened in your life, and his character development is *chef's kiss*

From LOZ it's definitely BoTW Zelda. Her struggle is so damn relatable and I can't get enough of her.

I'll stop there because those are my main fandoms and I could keep going forever. 😅 Bones on FOX, Elementary, Gravity Falls, Detective Pikachu, Matilda, a million little things...

9. which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

It depends? At work I like hot coffee for reasons unknown, probably because I can't make cold coffee at work, but if I'm out and about it's definitely cold coffee.

27. about how many hours of sleep did you get?

Last night? *checks phone* Approximately 9 hours. I've been really tired from my job lately.

35. what’s your timezone?

CST

43. what’s your take on spicy foods?

I am absolutely that bitch who bought the ghost pepper cheeto puffs on sight and ate the whole damn bag (not at once). I've also had the sweet carolina reaper cheetos and those are dope as hell. I will consume anything spicy at least once, and am not afraid of super spicy. LOVE spicy. I will choose spicy over sweet.

Again, thanks for the ask! I love doing these. ^.^

[worldenough-and-time]

ten books

Thanks @spindrifters for the tag!

(In no particular order)

1. The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (no surprise given my handle, but this is maybe my favorite book ever. I reread it last year to confirm, and yes it still is the best, and I made the mistake of reading the ending while away for the weekend at a friend’s wedding and I cried my fucking eyes out and then I did just a little bit of psilocybin and sang country songs with my friends and had a long talk with my other friend about our creative aspirations and then I was seriously ill for about a week after that, which may or may not have had anything to do with the choices I’d made the previous evening. Anyway, it’s just a great love story. I’m a simple girl.)

2. Beautiful World, Where Are You By Sally Rooney (Everyone has the Sally Rooney book that feels like she read their fucking diary and this one is mine. No, I won’t tell you which parts. But I will tell you that I think the Wedding Chapter in this book is maybe the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read. I’m not exaggerating. I slept with this book next to my bed for weeks and finally to break my attachment to it and read something else, I gave it to my friend who hates Sally Rooney to read on her way to London. She did hate it- couldn’t even get past the phone sex scene, which honestly if you don’t think that’s one of the most romantic things you’ve ever read, I really don’t know how to help you. How could you not love this book??! It’s half emails!)

3. The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (I know this is a series but idc, if I could only pick one it’d be The Dream Thieves but all these books are the Books of My Heart. I reread them pretty much every year. Look, sometimes you’re in college and for the first time in your life you have Guy Friends, and you are a little bit in love with all of them, even though you are all young fucking idiots, and it feels like a revelation for some reason. Anyone? No? Just me? Well, Maggie Stiefvater wrote a book series about that experience so now I don’t have to.)

4. Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (This book feels like falling in love. All my favorite books feel like falling in love.)

5. Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (This is really a catch all for the whole series but I’m a Harrowhark bitch through and through, also this book literally rewired my brain such that I could only write in second person for like two months. I think Tamsyn Muir is a mad genius.)

6. Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki (Might be recency bias but I just finished one and really really loved it!)

7. The Host, Stephanie Meyer (I know this is such a weird pick and I could just… not, BUT I unironically love this book. I read it in high school I’ve reread it several times since, it’s kind of a comfort book? Idk how to explain it, but cringe is dead so here we are.)

8. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (look, you either love JG or you don’t, but I love his writing so much and this book came out my senior year of high school and I carried it around with me in my backpack for months and whenever I would feel sad I would reread it in the middle of class and Mel and I tried to adapt it into a piece for our HS speech team and I can still recite quotes from it and it still means a lot to me.)

9. Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya (okay I know this is a manga series and it’s technically 23 books, but Furuba is my Bible, and any list without it would be wrong. I read it for the first time at 12 and I reread it every couple of years and every time I come away with something new. Also I think the original TokyoPop translation is far superior to the Viz editions and it makes me sad that they’re harder to find these days. The 2019 anime adaptation is beautiful but again, I think the TokyoPop translation is better than the anime subs. This series fucking raised me. That is all.)

10. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (look LOOK, it might be the great American novel, okay? It feels so stupid to have it on this list, like, Sam, people fucking know The Great Gatsby is good, we all had to read it for school. Idk man. I love Fitzgerald, truly the saddest sad sack there ever was. His wife was infinitely cooler than him. But God damn could that man write a sentence.)

[morg676]

We started watching Fruits Basket last night, and w was crying and crying, and I could logically tell like. Ya this is heart wrenching, and extremely sweet and tragic (wacky as hell Neil josten ass bitch) but like. Nah just no emotional connection for me. Not even from w crying. We had sex but I really had to convince myself it was ok and felt good.. which is maybe not good but. Idk I love them and I wanted to cum who doesn't , but it was so disconnected from my brain for a bit. I got thru that feeling so I guess that's good. Maybe idk. I also keep coming back to myself and noticing w in different angles lately, like. I'm not sure how I got here, or if I'm real or if I've been here the whole time

Fruits basket boyfriend reaction, season 1 episode 25

“He’s a daddy’s boy” He’s such a daddy’s boy, like me (Kyo)

He’s such a son’s father? What’s the opposite of daddy’s boy, but the same (Kazuma)

I thought it was just going to pan down and show him sleuthing in the water (Kyo)

You know, for a show where the whole thing is the gender hugging thing, I’m surprised there’s no gay relationships

Tohru meet my dad! Like smiling teeth emoji (Kyo)

Again, hello you rat bitch (Yuki)

I’m sorry, did he just call him a femboy? (Kyo at Yuki)

I’m sorry I just remembered the “I can prove to you my natural hair color” (You know that Haru scene if you’ve seen the show)

What a boar! (Kagura)

Those ugly fucking feelings uggghhhh (Yuki)

Why’s he being freaky?

How is this the season finale compared to Kyo turning out to be a demon who smells? Like he wants to talk about his feelings more?

Don’t ask her on a date, she’s taken!

He needs to go back to be yaoi where he belongs

He’s queer, I can tell (Kakeru)

Let him go (Kyo and Kagura)

My favorite bit!!! (Ayame)

Hello! I'm a big fan of your Psychology of Fruits Basket works! I would personally LOVE to read your analysis specifically on Shigure and Tohru!! Are you excited for Season 2? I KNOW I AM! :D

Oh gosh, this must be a little old so I apologize!

YES I AM SO HAPPY FOR SEASON 2 WE'RE GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF THE STORY NOW!

I have thought writing a post about Shigure and Tohru specifically. I had been putting off writing about Shigure because it would be a spoiler heavy post by necessity. I was trying to minimize spoilers as much as possible.

A little bird has told me that there is a Shigure hate train going around on tumblr tho so that might change my mind.

We don’t tolerate any dog hate in this house.
