#tsukiyomi ikuto

Thinking about the implications of the Arc Eggs in Shugo Chara!... If the Hearts Eggs are the wishes of a child distilled to their purest, and X-Eggs are a corrupted dream that takes that idea of innocent passion and pushes it to self hatred and giving up, what does that mean for an artificially manufactured egg? We've SEEN one of those before, albeit on a far smaller scale, with Ikuto and the Black egg, and I would argue that it represented a caging responsibility of a dream for the Company, rather than Ikuto himself.

I think the Arc Eggs may honestly not be far from that idea on a far larger scale.

This is a middle school. Young children are encouraged to express themselves and chase dreams and believe in themselves, but middle grades are when a LOT of the pressures- both internal and external- really start to ramp up.

All of the other kinds of eggs in this series* have been a metaphorical representation, and the Arc Eggs most definitely follow suit.

The students at Arcana Academy are HANDED eggs because they’ve been GIVEN someone else’s dreams- as starts being apparent in middle grade kids. They are disheartened when they can’t live up to the potential that parents or teachers or otherwise influential figures placed on them, and the dream goes sour.

No wonder there are so many X-Egg reports, and no wonder Amu couldn't cleanse that X-Egg. Her method relies on reminding people what their dreams are in the first place, but if these AREN’T their real dreams and if they don’t know who they’re supposed to be WITHOUT the dream that has been given to them, what is she meant to be convincing them?

This whole storyline of gamifying the act of living out artificial dreams is so bleak, and I'm so excited to see how things play out!

(*As much as I love the anime, the question mark eggs feel out of place in the metaphor. Because YES, you can be confused or obsessive over a dream and it can drive you to obsession and one-track mind-ism that is unhealthy, but the active mechanics of the ?eggs are far more convoluted than the other depictions we see in the story so it's hard to bring them up in this kind of conversation)

so turns out mike's name is also a pun. michaelangelo, shortened to mike/mi-ke (in the Japanese pronunciation) which means tricolor since he's calico. im guessing the fact that he's the second is a spoiler

in hindsight i should've known mike was inspired by the maneki-neko.

i also found out black cats can also be considered a type of maneki-neko, which explains this piece of merch:

I have dreams of Tsukiyomi Ikuto falling in love with someone his own age instead of creeping on the 11 year old while he was 16.

Just wanted to let y’all know that Gojo share the same VA as Nozaki from the anime Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun / Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun for anyone who’s like me who enjoy watching the VA of their fav character in other animes

I had to go deep into the internet and go for the old school way of watching anime like when I was a kid, sketchy website with ad-block activated. Remember watching the anime when it came out and when I saw that they share VA I just HAD to watch it.

And tbh, I feel like Gojo is just like Nozaki — he would be SO oblivious to anyone confessing their feelings for him.

Let’s not forget that Yuichi Nakamura is the VA for one of my first anime boy crushes—

List 7 reason why you ship Amuto lol 👀

Someone's looking for inspiration for the fic she promised me lolololol Ok I gotchu!!!!

He protec...like seriously I've lost count of how many times he's saved her life DESPITE being with Easter, her enemy! My favorite is when Easter traps her in that greenhouse and he knows where she's going to be before anyone else and rescues her! And when they both jump to catch the embryo and fall, presumably to their deaths, and he uses his body to shield her as much as he can.

She's the bright and shiny manic pixie dream girl he needs (I'm a slut for that trope ok don't @ me! TT_TT)

When he's hurt or in trouble, she's the one he goes to for help, (instead of Easter or his sister) because he has faith in her. And even if she's mad at him, she worries for him and goes out of her way to make sure he's ok.

She can tell when he's hurting or acting against his will, even when others can't and get mad at him. It's why she refused to fight him when Easter fused him with an X egg to control him.

Despite wanting to be close to her, he knows when his presence will hurt her and makes sure that doesn't happen (when he tricked Tadase to anger Amu so Easter didn't make trouble for her family for helping him)

He changes for her, from buying snacks to apologize for the broken tarts to defying Easter to protect her. His confession is an age-appropriate kiss on the cheek and then taking off and sorting himself out while he waits for her to grow up. When he comes back to visit, instead of sneaking into her room like he once did, he gets permission to visit from her parents (Look at him building a good relationship with his in-laws!)

Let's be real, he's hot and smooth af, and look at her blush! She knows it too!
