Hey you!! It's been awhile!! Have you been doing okay? I miss you :((((

OMG hi!! I've missed you too, babes! I have been doing okay for the most part, just mega busy. My health has also been a bit troublesome, I'm currently writing a research paper, and a lot of my TKDB stuff has moved to a friend's server but I'm slowly going a bit inactive on that too. Honestly, for me, being too busy to be online is usually a good thing, but it does mean I miss my mutuals and friends 💔

I am like. Highly conscious whenever I come onto tumblr that my rp blogs are dusty museums of stuff I wrote when I had the time or when a lot of the people doing rp with me were on here rather than discord (part of why I made the move because a few of the partners I really liked writing with moved over there and were more active there and so I decided eventually to follow). I do miss it, even writing for Haku. As much as I don't even like Haku or make fun of him, he's still a fun character to write for. As for my OC too, she's SUCH a riot, I love her, and I've been considering putting her into some TKDB fanfics since I'm drawing back from actual rp for a bit.

And onto other topics: there's personal life issues that have definitely contributed to my absence too. And then my final year of university on top of that (I am also an honours student so I'm doing a lot of research and whatnot) - and I had a tricky assignment leftover from a summer class that, when combined with how everything here closed down for a cyclone, lead to me falling behind in my workload already, so I'm trying to recover from that.

There's been a lot of good things too though! Unfortunately, I can't talk about a lot of it 🥲 I try not to overshare on tumblr or talk about personal relationships cause I'm a fairly private person in that regard. But trust, for every bad thing I've mentioned, there's at least two good things that have been going on too.

I hope you've been okay too! I truly miss you and I miss doing rp with you, though I don't know if/when I'll properly return. Thank you for sending in this ask 🥰 it was really nice to hear from you!

😌 Just for the record, I knew who you were for a while. I sent in that ask to be cheeky.

Also was a lot of fun pretending like I didn't know who was behind the Zenji blog.

Anyway, I'm offering private investigative services into anonymous identities for anyone else who might want it-

Haku and Zenji 🤔 I noticed you were a fan and was curious about more of your thoughts on them!

- 🍃

Local guy says he'll answer these (checks timestamp) 11 days ago. and then proceeds not to . ANYWAY

hello. i am. a fan of them. I think I might be one of the biggest fans of it in fact, considering the fact that I run that zenji blog. Oops!

Anyway. Strap the fuck in bc this got long as FUCK and it's informal as hell so it's rambly. Sorry

The gayest thing you can call another man is Old Friend.

No but ships aside, Haku and Zenji are fascinating. Just like...

Starting with the obvious of Haku being the only one who could see Zenji for a good six months, or the fact that Haku puts in so much effort for Zenji all the time, or the fact that they reference each other a lot, or so on so forth. It's so extremely clear to me that they both care about each other in one way or another, and it's clear that they're just like. Paired?

Which is to say, Subaru is very accommodating to Haku, and very kind. He treats Haku as though he's the captain instead of Subaru himself, and he gives a lot of leeway for things Haku does in general. This is partially due to his own secrets (in my opinion), but Subaru is really like, almost hands off with Haku. He hypes him up when he can and doesn't really ever speak bad about him. Zenji, on the other hand, is welcoming but not necessarily like... unconditionally so?

Haku is a lout. He's uncouth, or ungentlemanly, or stupid or whatever other adjectives Zenji has used for him again and again. Zenji criticizes Haku (sometimes unfairly) and hypes him up in equal measures. You know Zenji's compliments towards Haku are sincere then, because you can see what he says when he DOESN'T have something to compliment Haku on. And Haku, in turn, is the same with Zenji. Haku is more likely to say some out of pocket comment towards Zenji, but Haku in general is really more of an Actions guy.

Which is to say, holding an umbrella up for Zenji in the rain. Recording him, even as the students around them call Haku gross. Editing them, posting them. Replying to comments. Managing the channel. Giving him advice, telling him what sort of videos he wants to see, listening to his pieces (sometimes), telling him what to give MC for Valentines day, etc. Haku isn't as Compliment-y as Zenji, but he certainly shows his affection (platonically) towards Zenji in a multitude of ways.

And like... If you think about it, yes, Haku is the only one Zenji had, but in some weird way, Zenji is that for Haku too. Haku is a transfer into Hotarubi, and though he's vice-captain, he doesn't really seem to Enjoy that position. And like, we already know that other transfers have gossip surrounding them, and pairing that with Haku's vague statements about his backstory, we can see he's like. An outsider. Just in general, Haku views himself as an outsider, though he's good at masquerading as someone in the in-group. But with Zenji, he's important, but not in a way that has too many Stakes. You know? Like.

Haku cares about Zenji and puts in effort, but he can also just. Leave. Just walk away in the middle of Zenji's song, or tune it out, or any number of things. He can ignore Zenji if he wanted. It's fine. Sometimes Zenji ignores him, too. It's a casual thing, but not in the sense that it's shallow?

Haku and Zenji fall into a category I like to call 'opposite sides of the same coin'. Both are deeply lonely at their core, but express it in opposite ways and embody it in opposite ways. Haku keeps his cards close to his chest and Zenji expresses them openly. Haku is surrounded by people and still feels like an outsider. Zenji is surrounded by, most of the time, nobody, and feels perfectly connected to them all. Haku thinks more than he feels, Zenji feels more than he thinks. They balance each other out in a very, very interesting way, and I think like. Just small parts here and there really stick out to me. Haku always phrases things in a way that includes Zenji without tipping his existence off to others. Haku never slips up about him, never tells others unless Zenji is ready for them to know. He covers for Zenji even at his own cost. Even MC frequently, and I mean frequently, fucks up regarding Zenji. But Haku doesn't. I bet that's comforting to him.

It's just like!!! Man!!! MAN!!! IS ANYONE STILL READING? I FEEL INSANE. The line where Haku says that there's 'Somebody he wants to help' and that's why he works so hard for everybody? Being implied to be Zenji? Or the fact that Zenji doesn't want to move on, and Haku doesn't make him? Or how Zenji trusts Haku So Goddamn Much? OR LIKE. AUGH. IT HURTS. THEY'RE SO!!!!!!!

I'm really so excited for the new chapter. I really want to see them interact more, or at least see Zenji nagging Haku more. It's so cute... Haku teasing Zenji too! Which he does a lot! And Zenji falling for it every time. It's a penname, Haku! A pen name! How many times does he have to say it? Probably eight billion more bc Haku is just doing it to mess with him. AUHGH.

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
