One thing I love about Midorikawa's depiction of how Natsume's past has affected him is that he can't always do simple tasks. I always see people headcanon characters with absent parents as very independent so like "oh they can cook and stuff since nobody else did it!" But really they never had anyone to teach them these skills, so they never do it and avoid it.

kitamoto and nishimura teaching natsume to ride a bike is so important to me. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

and when natsume says he's been "practicing cooking at tanumas" after shigeru points out he's alright with a knife 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:

Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.

My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."

She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.

And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.

And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.

If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.

She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.

Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.

i really loved the moments where the dsmp members took advantage of streaming as a medium, but i can really only think of 2 examples

when ponk announced that an ad break was coming, it cut to that godzilla (?) ad that was playing all the time on twitch, but a few seconds in it "glitched" back to a flashback scene in minecraft before the ad finished playing, and ponk didn't acknowledge that anything had happened

when seapeekay went afk in the egg room and left his webcam on so chat could see his chair, and then his character started moving on its' own towards the egg

can anyone think of any other examples i love stuff like this

For you, the world.

i think my favorite episode of Natsume Yuujinchou s7 so far is the one with Nishimura and his midnight crush on doll!Natsume

he's so close to being on a balcony calling down "wherefore art thou Natsume", losing sleep over it, and guarding a tiny doll arm like that's totally normal

love this outsider perspective on Natsume though, how odd he is but it also just makes him cool and mysterious, and the comment on his eyes having changed from when they first met!!
