broke: dazai abandoning chuuya for 4 years ruined their relationship
woke: without their 4 years of separation, dazai and chuuya probably would have never had the amount of individual development they have now and therefore would not have had any chance in cultivating a slightly healthier and more understanding dynamic like they have the potential to now

Rereading Sunshine by Robin McKinley (one of my favourite vampire books). All I remember from reading it 10 years ago is the amount of page-time dedicated to baking cinnamon rolls. But I've realised, this time round, that the baking of cinnamon rolls is the symptom of a much larger theme in characterisation - Rae's ride-or-die commitment to the 'I'm just some guy' bit.
Every single chapter, another thing is revealed about Rae that puts her closer to being a special snowflake Chosen One: her name is Raven Blase but her nickname is Sunshine, she has sunlight powers, she's not just an innocent bystander but the daughter of a powerful warlock, she can help a vampire walk in sunlight, she's performing powerful magic. And every single time Rae just turns round and says to the reader, "but that's not important :) I'm just some guy :) I really like baking :) ignore that gothic heroine coding :) it's time to get up at 4am to make bread :)"
Her commitment to being Just Some Guy is genuinely carrying the novel. Every single day she becomes more of a Chosen One, but there's cinnamon rolls to make. Fucking D&D-ass characterisation. High art.

i love the easy affection cat gives jean, especially her little kisses soooo hc that jean starts getting used to reciprocating those kisses. like when they’re cooking tgt cat passes him an ingredient he needs and he absentmindedly kisses the top of her head. she gives him a ride somewhere on her bike and he kisses the side of her helmet as a thank you. maybe he starts doing it to other people too. laila takes him book shopping or something and he kisses her head when she offers (demands) to pay. the first time he does it to jeremy he turns so red and forgets how to speak. cat and laila never let jeremy hear the end of it.

One Piece modern day au where Law unintentionally made Sanji re-evaluate his feelings for Zoro because he assumed they're together like he would rant about how their boyfriends caused trouble in town because of an extremely valid reason but the execution could cause them to be arrested and Sanji would go yeah Luffy does shit like that come on Law you've been dating the guy for two years and you bailed him out 15 times you should get used to it--pause--wait what do you mean boyfriends and Law is like isn't Zoro your boyfriend and Sanji goes through several stages of confusion and denial.
