#kagura… my sweet girl

[yo-yo-yoshiko]

They’re besties~!

[demonslayedher]

do you have any headcanons for the reincarnations/chapter 205? :D

First off, when I read that chapter I was like... "I can't believe it's over... what a ride... BUT WHAT DID I JUST READ????"

Also, since canon only describes them as "descendants" and "a person who..." and never says "reincarnation" I don't technically think of them that way... although that is hard to do after the Obamitsu promise. My main issue with this is looking backwards; it's simply a matter of preference that I don't like thinking of Tanjiro and Nezuko as reincarnations of Sumiyoshi and Suyako (and I especially prefer to keep Yoriichi and Tanjuro as separate people), because I like the straightforward interpretation of inherited memories as something unique to this world.

So that being said!!

The modern day kids have really grown on me. : D Touko is my favorite. I have written some headcanons for them which I have tucked into fanworks that I'll link below.

--The Kamado family house was given to the Hashibira family, so Aoba still has ties there (although he doesn't live there). This is also why the Kamado boys live in the city. Theory expanded on here.

--If they are indeed reincarnations, then Kotoha was reincarnated as Aoba's mom, but she's a divorcee. Aoba's canonical younger brother has a wilder personality. I had a really nice time playing with Aoba interacting with his mom in this short fic, which also refers to the above theory and has interactions with other characters in the fallout of the blue spider lily failure.

--The Kamado family is so removed from their old charcoal past that they just FORGOT to give the oldest son a charcoal related name

--Touko inherited Zenitsu's wide range of strong emotions and expression. Although the women in their family are known for being nice and sweet, there is always what is called the "Agatsuma Demon Gene." However, it's unclear which great-grandparent this came from. There is no mention of Nezuko as a demon in any of "The Legend of Zenitsu" so Yoshiteru is convinced she was a demure girl who needed to stay out of the sunlight for health reasons. These are referred to in this collection of fanart/doodles of the Chapter 205 cast, as well as in this comic that was drawn before Volume 23 came out, so we were still under the impression that Kanata considered Touko his girlfriend (canonically, he does not, that evil flirt).

--More fun doodles of Touko with Zenitsu's expressions and Yoshiteru with Nezuko's expressions here

--Yoshiteru has Marfan Syndrome.

--This isn't so much a headcanon as an observation, but I love what Iguro being a chef and having a good luck snake emblem says about how he's been freed some his past. So I said that all at the end of this post about snake analysis as it relates to Iguro.

--I just kind love that Kiriya and Yushiro are friends???

--I don't know how I feel about the "they get together every year to do Kagura in the Breath styles" thing that was added later. It just doesn't seem to fit well with everything. First, the need for Breath technique is gone, so if Tanjiro decided to simply not teach the next generation, that would have been a fine statement. After all, they just keep the earrings in a framed box now. Second, it would imply that they all might recognize each other from having met every year. Touko would happily anticipate meeting her favorite gymnast every year, and she and Yoshiteru would both already have met Aoba plenty of times, as would Sumiyoshi, who supposedly only meets him when they are both sulking about being in trouble. Maybe they wouldn't recognize each other out of the context of being in the shrine for Kagura once a year, but those kinds of events usually take all day to set up, conduct, and then have a party afterward with lots of interaction. Plus, who was even around to pass on some of those Breaths??? And what kind of move is Thunderclap and Flash for a full Kagura dance???????? So my headcanon is that Touko has stayed home from it for the last few years, Yoshiteru has mostly just hung out with his distant cousins, Aoba's little brother is the one who has been doing it lately while Aoba has been busy as a student and then career botanist, and the dances are staged throughout the day at different times, so Flower Breath and Insect Breath are never around the same time as Thunder Breath so Yoshiteru never even encountered the girls. Also, the Corp had other survivors!! Maybe they're the ones who have been retaining most of these traditions in place of characters who did not survive to leave descendants!

Well that one turned into a rant. Anywayyyy.

--Reincarnated!?Shinobu is Giichi's babysitter and she finds him overly talkative, because irony is fun. (Also in fanart)

--Reincarnated!?Makomo is Reincarnated!?Urokodaki's granddaughter (also in the same fanart collection)

--Toujurou's dad has trouble keeping students in the kendo dojo, because bringing in KimeGaku elements is fun

--The cops take their coffee really, really sweet; it's totally loaded with sugar

Enjoy the things I linked!! They have more of my thoughts and fun with them!! : D

Thoughts about Kagura

Kagura was the reason I started watching Gintama, I think that explains everything. Her fight against Abuto was the first approach I’d to the series and I remember being surprised that a girl would’ve such an intense fight. At the same time, watching other videos, I found it strange that her voice was so squeaky and that she’d such a childish attitude.

The contrast is something that defines Kagura, not only as a character, but also with the medium. Unlike traditional heroines, Kagura doesn't have a love interest, she's a girl with no sex appeal and who isn't afraid to be impolite. That doesn't take away from the fact that she’s someone who’s very strong, both physically and mentally, and is still feminine, even if she has behaviors that could be considered masculine.

I love that she's silly but has a big heart, which has always shown through her interactions with others. She is one of the funniest characters in the series and balances the Yorozuya in terms of warmth and craziness (Gintoki is colder, Shinpachi more focused). Also, the fact that she has found in Gintoki a father figure and in Shinpachi an older brother is very sweet.

This is because the relationship with her biological father and brother is the main conflict Kagura faces. I honestly wish this had received more attention throughout the story, more serious battles, see her struggles against her yato instincts; but I understand it's probably because Sorachi didn't have a clear plot from the beginning, just loose ideas.

However, when the family drama unfolded in Rakuyo arc, I was somewhat disappointed that the conflict focused primarily on Kamui and Umibozu, rather than between Kagura and Kamui. It felt like she played a supporting role in her own story. On top of that, some elements didn't make much sense and overall the execution wasn't the best.

Despite this, there's no doubt that Kagura was one of the characters that changed the most throughout the series. She matured, became more grounded, and went from seeing Earth as a strange land to seeing it as her home, having planet-sized love for those around her. My only lament is that at the end of the story she didn't go off to hunt aliens, which was her dream, but I like to think it's implied that she’ll in the near future.

Hey, girl! How are you?

I've read in a couple of your posts that you used to be in the Inuyasha fandom. Can I ask you what your ships were?

I liked Sango x Inuyasha a lot. I didn't ship him with neither Kikyo nor Kagome. Both relationships seemed awful and lowkey abusive to me. I would love to hear your thoughts, though!

hello, dearest!! i'm well, thank you. i hope you are, too 🖤

ahaha oh man was i EVER. that show became my entire personality when i was 10/11. i still have a huge fondness for it! my wife was actually sweet enough to buy my the blu rays for christmas after i complained that netflix didn't have any of the original music 😭

honestly you're right to ship sango with anyone. she was hands down the best character, and the one i most identified with/wanted to be.

ships-wise i was pretty exclusively a sesshoumaru girlie, and i shipped him with EVERYONE. sango, kagome, kikyo, kagura, i would read it all. sometimes i would read koga fic just because i liked his whole insta-mate bond shtick and how devoted he was to it.

ngl that likely influenced a good portion of my dragonlander fic 😂

@jiraipink asked:

I passed out, but I'm back to talk about how you write Kagura! Oh you thought I was done? TEEHEE! ♡

She's SO fuckin' funny. Namida and Kagura don't interact that much, (they should) which is why I started with Kamui, but I love reading how you portray her with others. She's both so sweet yet so blunt. Not as mean as her brother, but the shit she says cracks me up LMAO Really like that factor of your portrayal of her. She has a good heart from what I've been reading in your writing. I care she and Namida will defend her ANY day if Kamui makes her upset!

But yea the same applies here on what I said about canon material and putting your own touches to that character. Appreciate what you've done with writing Kagura.

Also you should write more drabbles about the Yato sibs cuz brooooo they come out DELICIOUS! They're such contrasting yet similar characters in their own right and you really breathe that to life through your writing. Your angst drabbles pull at my heart strings. GIVE ME MORE HAPPINESS!!! That one drabble of Kamui doing her hair was so precious. My favorite parts about how you write them honestly is how much they actually care about each other. Family is forever ♡

「   ASK MEME :  HOW’S MY PORTRAYAL?   」

( BRUHHH YOU REALLY HERE TO TAKE ME OUT WITH YOUR POSITIVITY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 DKFGFKGFKHKFGK I'm REALLY glad you love Kagura because she's literally my favorite shounen heroine t b h. I strive to have more people appreciate her as much as I do !!! I'd definitely be up for her and Namida interacting more too, so they can come up w/ ways to bully Kamui or just hang out and do girl things y'know.

BUT GOOD, SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DEFEND HER AGAINST HER AWFUL BROTHER. Given how things are currently going with Kamui and Namida he might actually listen too, whoooo knows lolll.

But again thanks so much shesh, I'm really flattered 😭 I put my all into writing these two, they literally mean sooo much to me. BUT ALSO AHHHH IF YOU ENJOYED THE DRABBLES THAT MUCH I'D DEF MAKE SURE TO POST MORE WHENEVER AN IDEA ARRIVES!! The one where he was doing her hair was probably a huge favorite, maybe i'll do more wholesome interactions like that in the future :333 but thanks so much your asks has literally made my whole day holy shit. )

[amethysttribble]

List ten different favorite characters from ten different pieces of media, and tag ten people!  

Thank you so much @himemiyaaah for the tag, I’m sorry I took forever to do this! We’re organizing these by piece of media

Celegorm: by god, if you look at his character for a little bit, there is so much going on with him! He’s friends with Orome, he has a magic angel dog, he’s super close with Curufin despite the age difference, he’s friendly with his cousins and he gets Finrod killed, he’s an elegant speaker, his followers commit the most abhorrent crime of the kinslayings, he’s assaults Luthien, he’s close with Aredhel, he’s a renowned hunter and failure as a military general. There’s so many layers and contradictions and I love him. (Silm)

Elwing: She is my baby girl, and once I write my ‘conversations between Elwing and Maglor’s Wife’ fic, it’s over for you bitches. She’s just... so resolute, and so sad, and so angry, and she turns into a BIRD and I don’t know what more you want from me. (Silm)

Curufin: Every time I write Curufin I black out and then pages upon pages of the most miserable words on the planet are recorded on screen, and I don’t know what that says about me (Silm)

 Percy de Rolo: this tragic white-haired anime boy with a gun has entranced me, mind body and soul. He really misses his family, you guys T_T (Critical Role, C1)

 Veth Brenatto: This woman is one of the most fascinating characters at the Critical Role table, and that she gets reduced to “Caleb’s mom” so often is fucking criminal, I LOVE her and want her to be happy and blow shit up (Critical Role, C2)

Hubert von Vestra: listen... I’m a sucker for the loyal (male) retainer to the driven at all costs, morally questionable (female) leader. And also they were platonic soulmates. Hubert is a spooky vampire who lives on devotion, and I fucking love him. (fe3h)

Catherine Morland: I recently remembered why Northanger Abbey is my favorite Austen book, she’s just a fucking hoot, I wish I could be her (Northanger Abbey)

Sanji: Sanji, sanji, sanji, WHAT am I to do with you? The most character of all time, so well written sometimes, so poorly written on others. He is forever and always my One Piece blorbo (One Piece)

Catelyn Stark: This woman... Need it be said how goddamn amazing Cat is? I’m not sure it does, my the unbridled tragedy of her watching lose her family one by one, how war steals her young son from her and she is forced to watch, rattling against the bars of the patriarchal cage, and she STILL has a higher on page kill count than Robb? She was already perfect and then she died and cam back a wraith bent on revenge, no one is doing it like her. (asoiaf)

Shimura Shinpachi: MY FUCKING SON! The most important Gintama character and also the most underrated, he’s just a sweet lad, doing his best!! He’s so good to Kagura, and so good to his sister, and so good his friends, and he just wants to be a samurai but also he’s a son of the new age, and he’s trying so hard and I LOVE HIM. (Gintama)

Again, can’t do 10 people, I can give you 5. @agroupofcrows, @aipilosse, @arofili, @shrikeseams, @shiroandblack, feel free to answer or ignore at your leisure!

[sereia1313]

Rose Clippings

The daily drabbles continue! Couldn't wait to dip my hands into a fairytale AU, and this one is going to be amazing!

Ready it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.

Summary: Kagome and Kagura live with their mother in a woodland cottage, free from the grime of the large city, so when a knock is heard at their door in the dead of winter, they can't imagine who it could be. Or how their visitor will change their lives forever.

Sneak Peek

Snarls could be heard throughout the night, Emiko holding her two daughters close as they shuddered in fear.

"What is it, Mama?" Kagome asked, sneaking a glance toward the snow-covered window. "It sounds angry."

"I'm not sure, my sweet. But don't worry, we're safe in here." She ran her fingers through Kagome's hair.

"I'll protect you," Kagura said, holding a stick towards the door even as her hand trembled. Adoration shone in Kagome's eyes, but she immediately wrapped her arms around her sister.

"You're not going outside," she said, hugging her tightly. Kagura opened her mouth to protest, but Kagome shook her head. "It's too dangerous."

"But I know all the animals in the forest!" she said, still brandishing her stick.

Emiko pulled them closer. "If the creature is hurt, you can help them tomorrow. But for now—" She trailed off as a blustery wind shook the cottage, the girls yelping and burying their faces against their mother.

The storm has come out of nowhere, covering the forest in eerie silence much earlier than they were used to. Emiko had heard rumours of war circulating through the merchants in town, but they had confidence in their queen, along with the crown prince, so she'd paid it no mind, once again thankful that their home was so far removed.

The girls lay down, hands clutching their mother's dress, but Kagome glanced out the window again, idly rubbing her chest.

"What's wrong?" Kagura asked.

Kagome frowned, shifting uncomfortably. "My chest hurts. Like someone's in trouble." Her sister grabbed her stick, but Emiko plucked it out of her fingers.

"Tomorrow," she said firmly.

How Kyo and his story can be related to trans(even lgbt+) themes

From a kyo kinnie transman🏳️‍⚧️

* Please feel free to correct something or point out something I might have missed.

In this we’ll look at how the curse can be literal and metaphorical, how Kyo’s story can be tied to trans, even just queer representation, and what it means for us as kinnies or just a fandom.

~the curse(literally is a generational curse)

examples of generational curses:

-Family beliefs/traditions can put pressure on children and when they get their own family it can cause religious or family trauma

•Akito’s father kept repeating that Akito was going to be like this and do this and be loved by everyone. This put Akito on a pedestal and put a huge burden on her shoulders. This caused a strain within his family. Later on putting an even thinner strain on the extended family.

•Akito grew up believing that she was solely important, that no one else was to be a priority. Which in turn made the zodiacs feel trapped rather than loved.

-Abusive parents can lead to future abusive parents. When a parent or parents are abusive, the child or children will either grow up bitter or abusive to their future partner(s) and/or children, thinking that this is the best way.

•Akito’s mother was jealous of someone who was too small to understand everything to properly raise her. She often put her down and even try to fight/kill her when Akito got older. Akito’s mother never had motherly care so Akito grew up alone and bitter. Eventually because of that lack of care and love, she would often display bipolar/manipulative tendencies.

->The whole Sohma family was raised around a religious trauma curse that also tied into an abusive one as well. While having to deal with a literal curse they had two, three, maybe even seven tied with it as well. Taught that being the way they are was wrong, that no one would love them or their animal forms. Which brings us to the Cat and its curse.

~ We know that the Cat is the only one with two forms. The sweet little cat and its monster form that was giant and disgusting smelling, marking it as scary and dangerous. Only because the rest saw it as something awful, because the story was twisted. Kyo and those before him had to wear a bracelet to keep it hidden. Like how most trans/lgbt+ youth(even adults) hide behind a mask or “typical”’ gendered activities, clothes, personalities. Girls did this and boys would do that and all of those twisted words.

•all of us if not most of us were taught and told that being lgbt+ was wrong. That it was disgusting or against nature. If a parent(s) found out they would often even try to hide it or try to say you were to stop thinking that way or else. So we put on our own bracelets and walked on hiding and hating this side of ourselves.

->Kyo(us) wanted to fit in, to have a place to belong so bad that he(we) were willing to even take it out on someone(something) else. How come I’m the bad guy? Why did I have to be the Cat? Why does this straight person get to do this? Why can’t I be normal? But we all were. Me, you, Kyo, we were normal, they just didn’t know how to love something they didn’t understand. Now not everyone was like this. Deep down a lot of the sohma’s wanted to just be free(like how Kyo almost seemed to be in their eyes) or did just love him(like his adopted father and Tohru, even Kagura mostly). We had at least someone love us. We all had at least one Tohru, or a Kagura, or even a Kazuma.

*I can relate to Kyo so much because I also felt like an outcast. I felt like I had to hide and hate who I was so people would love and care for me. I even got mad at my own family sometimes. How come certain people would do this or that for someone but not me just because I was lgbt+? Why did that matter so much? I was still that math loving, anime watching, book reading goofball that they grew up with. I hated myself more and I even tried to reject how I felt. Then I met a Tohru. Someone who came from love and care who saw the best of me. Even when I transformed and got angry(Like Kyo when his bracelet was taken off and he changed) she/he/they chased after me and held me and stayed. She/he/they accepted all of me.

•A lot of the characters in this anime could be metaphors or examples of real life traumas and experiences. Like Rin and her eating disorder or Momiji and his sister getting separated. Even Yuki and his depression, anxiety, health complications. I think that’s why a lot of us love it and watch it over and over and over again. We can all feel for a character or two. So even if you feel like you are alone, remember that there is a Tohru out there for you. I promise😘

*Let me know if there’s something I missed/may have gotten wrong. Please let me know if any ideas related to this come into your mind.

[frostburn-shoto]

So it has come to my attention that I've never really talked about my oc..... like at all. Soooooo......

It's oc time!

Nayuki Tsukakura is the oldest daughter of the Tsukakura family, a family of demon slayers that's been around for years. The family consists of:

Kagura Tsukakura (Father)

Reiko Tsukakura (Mother)

Kaiga Tsukakura (brother)

Nayuri (Twin sister)

Nayumi (Younger sister)

Keiya (Younger brother)

Seiya (Younger brother)

Sayuki (Young sister)

Seyuri (Young sister)

Despite her family being demon Slayers, Nayuki was raised like a normal child until the age of 8, when she lost both her mother on one snowy night, leaving her in the custody of her older brother Kaiga who would later on follow in his father's footsteps and become a demon slayer.

There's more to her Backstory... but I don't wanna post it all in the same post lmao. So lemme talk about her personality a bit.

As a child, Nayuki was very cheerful and energetic, she would usually play around with her two sisters: Nayuri and Nayumi. She was kind to those around her tried to help them in her own ways, the young girl was very fond of sweets but would always give her share to her younger siblings.

After the incident, she becomes more mature and polite. She still very honest and friendly to those around her, despite this, she keeps a distance from those around her, she can be cunning and indifferent and will not back down from a fight: Whether with a demon or a human.

Because of her gentle nature and professionalism most of the Hashira take her opinion seriously.

Fun fact: Nayuki was Originally meant to learn Night breathing, a breathing style passed down to her family for generations however she was more compatible with Water breathing, eventually she used what she learned to create Ice breathing.

since you are on the builds app care to share your top 5 favorites builds? Doesn’t have to be how cracked just your most proud and fav lol

but what am i supposed to do if all my builds are cracked, excuse me

My baby booooy, my sweet geo angel. his hat is hideous, but he does like 50k on charged attack and 90k on the final combo hit, so i stand by it and i'll refarm the hat someday, for now check out 0 EM

My Hu Tao, who is, as discussed today, cracked now, I won't talk much

Ayato, whomst I pulled purely bc I had a lot of good hydro artifacts lying around from farming the blizzard domain, and these artifacts rolled much better than blizzard. sigh. My Ayato is pretty great tho, 10k per E hit

already shared Kaeya's build before, but I would like to mention that I decided to use atk goblet, and I know no one cares, but I spent like stupid amount of time calculating and testing and decided that ATK goblet is better bc my blizzard set is bad and doesn't have high atk stats, BUT in team with Kazuha and with mistsplitter stacks, Kaeya gets like 94% cryo dmg bonus anyway.

Yanfei is the best girl :3 I pulled Kagura for her, but she is legit doing better on widsith, so Nahida has Kagura now. controversial, but Yanfei is so much better than Diluc, 30k on charge attacks WITHOUT vape

honorable mention to Kazuha, who is c2 and double crowned, but whose entire build is just 980 EM, so it's not much to see lmao

okay, since we’re trying to be more open about shipping, here’s what i’m looking for:

i want tsurya to fall in love with an angel or a god because he’d lose his mind and it would physically hurt him. the masochist would jump out. very angsty. 

kagura needs a girlfriend. a sweet girl she can just fawn over and corrupt. bonus points if she’s human because knowing kagura, that would mess her up. lots of sexual tension and fluff.

beck needs a hate ship. or someone emotionally unavailable but still gives those tiny moments of validation. just enough to keep him guessing. we love toxicity over here. 

i still want sam to fall for a human. he wouldn’t know how to act. he’d probably become obsessed and intervene in their life way too much. breaking rules, losing his post. literally possessed by his emotions because even if he can identify them, he doesn’t know how to regulate them. it’d be a mess.

*throws yaketsu out there* i don’t know yet?? but he’s fun because he’s extremely straight-forward. he does not think like a human at all, and it’s interesting to watch how he handles romantic pursuits. 

that’s it for now. if there’s a dynamic you wanna try out with my muses, let me know. there is also no reason to have everything plotted. we’re allowed to figure it out as we go. that’s how we end up with 300 note threads. it’s addictive when you don’t know what’s going to happen next.

it doesnt even feel like gintsus care for gin or tsukki as characters with how badly ooc self inserty their content is

This is a anti gntsu post! So if you’re a fan scroll!

If it appears in the main tag, i’m sorry but this is a tumblr problem, search your content on “tagged” posts or blacklist the anti gntsu tag

!Long post ahead, you have been warned!

Before someone says something, gntsu is in everywhere and i tried to like gntsu before, so i ended up absorving content.

Gntsus who are also Tskki fans, have a tendence of being super rabid abt her, so i thought they cared a lot of her, but when you see how they act, you start questioning who they like more, gntsu or Tskki? I already said it before, they take out Hinowa and Seita from her life, but it doesn't stop there, a lot of them prefer Tskki interacting with Gn or alone, rather them she staying with other girls (with a excpetion of Kagura sometimes) and they also get mad at ppl headcanon her as lesbian, bc y'know... or even when someone ships her with other women, some of them are ok with other ships for her, but then the person also needs to ship gntsu, think that it's better than their opposing ship and never talk bad abt gntsu, so... And there's still the fact they think Tskki crush on Gn is a sacred thing, as if her character loses a giant part of herself if she's not crushing on him? They got real mad man, even say stuff like "If you don't like gntsu or prefer her crushing someone else, you're a misogynist! Plus how dare you don't want her to be happy? She only can be happy with this man, if you don't like this, you don't like her character because you're against her happiness!" i hate these kind of fandoms omg, it's like they arrest Tskki to with gntsu, y'know? And i not gonna even start with how they have Red Spider Arc as their favorite...

Despite that, her character in fanon doesn't stray that much from her og character, she still is a tsundere, which get frustraed easily and doesn't know how to show much affection, but she's way too submissive, because in every f/m ship they need to make women the submissive one, there's some exceptions same if it's totally out of her character.

Right now, Gntoki... A super funny thing, is that they don't hold him with gntsu, as they do with Tskki (HOW FUNNY ISN'T IT?).

About content, i know it's their content, they do what they want blah, blah, blah, but why Gntoki never looks like Gn? He's charming, cute, affectionate, romantic, clingy (Gn hates clingy ppl, how ironic), the only traits he still has are sweet addiction, being a shounen jump fan and a perv... His laziness? He not being able to show affection as well? Being broke? His addiction to games of chance? His mental scars from war? Fuck that! Let's make him a man from generic romance #5034... I really don't understand why... don't they love Gntoki so much? Why change him so drastically then? Don't they like their canon interactions? Ugh, why they do that to my man? Don't even get me started on ppl who turn him into a malewife...

And this is where the self insert enters! Because of course ppl would like to stay with the generic romance guy #5034 with Gn appearence, instead of a broke, lazy, kinda cold and addicted to games of chance and drinks.

[little-lee-froggie]

So, when I wrote this, I haven’d slept in over 35 hours, and so bring to you a sleep deprived rant on why fruits basket is perfect and I love it. This may contain spoilers, as well as things you might find triggering.‼️ Please read with caution, as I will be taking about abuse a lot in this post‼️

Now with that, it’s time for me to rant about this show

Part one: The phycology

So to start, we have Torou, who comes across as seemingly perfect, almost to perfect. However, this isn’t for just a so-called perfect heroine that’s only problem is that she’s clumsy. Torou takes on the role of the person who takes care of herself and her friends as a response to the trauma of loosing her mom. Helping people, making sure other’s are happy, that is how Torou copes. She does this to be to others what she misses so much, and hopes this will help her be able to burry her sadness away. This isn’t just you cliché cutesy girl main character for a romance anime, she’s so much more then that.

Next, I’ll talk about Yuki’s trauma. He was taught from a young age that he was unlovable, gaslit and manipulated by Akito almost his whole life. He has fear of abandonment because of this and learned how to be this perfectly mannered young man because he’s afraid people will leave him if they know what he’s actually like. Enter Torou, who has this unconditional love for him, no matter what. Throughout the show, he is shown to be getting more comfortable showing his real self because he was shown that he isn’t unlovable. As he learns and grows, he starts to slowly make a start at recovery from Akito’s abuse. With the help of Torou, he feels good about himself, he’s allowing himself to laugh and. It may seem small, but just someone caring and showing love helps a lot In the proses of recovery for Yuki.

Next, Kyo. Kyo had been told from a young age that he was a disgrace to the family because he was the cat spirit, only being accepted by his mother after he sealed away his true form with his bracelet. Even his only friend at the time, Kagura, was afraid of his true form. Even if someone accepted him as the cat, no one had ever accepted his true form. Akito used this as a manipulation tactic to keep Kyo from disobeying. However, his guilt gets worse when his mother commits suicide from the stress of having her child be the cat. Kyo internalizes this, and ends up feeling even worse about himself. Eventually, his master took him in, and Kyo finally felt what it was like to be truly loved by a paternal figure, since his biological father resents him for being the cat spirit and causing the death of his wife. But despite being happy where he his with his master, he refuses to believe that he is worthy of being his master’s son, and gets offended on his masters behalf when referred to as such. Eventually, he goes to live with Shigure, Yuki, and Torou. Torou showed him love as well, unconditional love, and was the only person who not only accepted him no matter what, but also didn’t show any fear, or I guess not let the fear stop her from accepting and being there for Kyo, other then maybe his master. When Kyo’s true form is revealed around the end of season 1, not only does Torou fully accept him, she runs to him despite her fear, despite the fact that she’s afraid of Kyo’s true form. When Kyo sees her after he runs away from the house, he tries to make her not care anymore, afraid that Torou might meet the same fate as Kyo’s mom. Convinced that her caring about him will only hurt Torou. But despite his greatest attempt at making Torou resent him, she stays by his side and helps him turn back from his true form.

Part two: Sweet storyline

So, not only does Torou fully accept Kyo and Yuki for who they are, she actively embraces it, wanting to meet the other members of the zodiac. She shows the same kind of unconditional love to the rest of the zodiacs she meets, becoming a very important part of all of their lives, with my favourite example being Kisa. Kisa was bullied for her appearance, which was the way it was because of her being a member of the zodiac. She stopped speaking, became closed off and protective of herself. But Torou was there, Torou showed her a kind of love and adoration Kisa wasn’t used to, and through that she became very attached to Torou, with every time Kisa goes to visit, we basically only see her not with Torou once after she gets attached to her up to the point I’ve watched to. Torou shows all the members of the zodiac the love they crave, the acceptence they need. Look at Yuki’s relationship with her; Yuki was the first zodiac to become properly acquainted with her, growing to care for her deeply. The only time we see him seem truly happy and himself for most of the show are when he’s with Torou. Yuki is a very closed off person, trying to protect himself and not let anyone get to close, but Torou shows him that he does need to be afraid, that he is able to be loved. It’s a really sweet relationship dynamic, and I love it.

Part 3: Conclusion

This show manages to be so dark, yet so cute and sweet. It goes deep into things like generational trauma, manipulation, abuse, and other dark things, but it still has this happy feel to it, and has genuinely lovely characters with complex emotions and experiences, all of them having stuffed some amount of trauma, and we explore the effects and response of that trauma with them. This show seems like it would be boring or that all the characters would be one-dimensional, but they all have different sides to themselves and really good story building. On the surface, it’s just another romance anime with pretty men and a over clumsy yet cute and domestic girl as the main character, but it’s not. The show isn’t even about romance, really, it’s about how much one person supporting you can help, and how people are so much more then what you see. It’s about unconditional love of all kinds, about giving support to the people you care about. It’s such a well written show, and if this wasn’t enough for you to figure it out, I HIGHLY recommend you watch it if you haven’t already. Even if it doesn’t seem like something you would enjoy on the surface, even if you don’t like anime or romance, you should give it a try because it’s so much more “haha pretty man turn into animal and doesn’t have clothes when he comes back”(which doesn’t happen extremely often), it’s a truly beautiful show, and it goes deep into the phycological effects of abuse, neglect, isolation, loosing parents, generational trauma, and so much more, as well as how to start healing. Seriously, go watch fruits basket, it’s amazing.
