Goodnight Story #3

[Plain Text: "Goodnight Story #3" Bigger Text in cursive/end pt]

t's a normal day in the Vongola Mansion. So of course eventually someone bursts into tears. It just so happened that this time, the one crying is Kyoko's most beloved little girl!

When Kyoya opens the door hastily, looking uncomfortable and awkwardly holding the girl under one arm, Kyoko immediately rushes to her daughter's aid. Of course Kyoya hands her the girl immediately, looking somewhat confused when he explains. "I found her in Tsunayoshi's office. And she just burst into tears?"

Kyoko cradles her girl closely, cuddling her and cooing comfortingly. She does also apologize to Kyoya, because he looks troubled. "I'm sorry-She's not allowed in Tsu-kun's office."

Then she turns back to her daughter, her voice impossibly soft. "Sweetie calm down, you're okay..."

But the brown-haired girl continues sobbing, taking big, gasping breath, only to wail laudly as she points at one very confused Kyoya. Kyoko frowns faintly, rocking her daughter and walking away from her friend, to pace around the room to calm her little dear down. Finally, the little girl manages to gasp out words, barely coherent through her tears. "W-will Hibari-san be under my bed t-tonight?! I-I didn't do it on purpose!!"

Kyoko blinks rapidly, somewhat confused herself now. Kyoya does not have a hobby of hiding under people's beds, does he..? By the looks of it the man in question even more confused than Kyoko herself actually. At least until Hayato speaks up, oddly self-satisfied, if a bit dismissive. "Oh, yeah. I told her if she breaks a rule you'd do that."

Sometimes Hayato really can't read a room, huh... Kyoko watches with a deadpan expression, when Kyoya turns to Hayato. There is a bit of venom in his voice. "You told a four year old I would do what?"

Hayato flinches, crossing his arms and rapidly realizing his mistake. He still tries to defend himself, which Kyoko personally thinks is a bit silly. "You punish people for breaking rules, that's still your whole deal!"

Kyoya is looming over Hayato like some divine threat and for the first time in forever, Kyoko really doesn't feel the need to interfere. Mostly because this is something Hayato kind of earned. Seems he forgot one of Kyoya's biggest life principles. Kyoya is just kind enough to remind everyone. "When needed, I administer appropriate punishments. Psychological torment is not an appropriate punishment when it comes to little animals!"

Hayato positively shrinks in the face of Kyoya's rage, his voice coming out very quiet and apologetic. "I didn't think you'd-"

That's the moment Kyoya lunges forward, grabbing Hayato's collar and dragging him close. Kyoko just rocks her fussing dear, still not interfereing, because that smirk is positively sinister. "If you don't think , you don't need your head."

Hayato manages to get out a single, high-pitched squawk before Kyoya takes him down with a beautifully executed right hook. The boys are probably going to wrestle for a bit now, so Kyoko leaves the room, rocking her little girl and sighing faintly. "You don't have to be scared of Hibari-san. You know he loves you a whole lot, right?"

The toddler makes big eyes up at her, clearly not entirely believing her words. Hayato will have to work very hard to make up for this mistake. "Bu... But I broke a rule..."

Kyoko is, in fact, on her way to tell her Tsu-kun what happened. Hayato will be very unhappy with the punishments he wo soon be receiving, but that's the consequences of putting ideas in their little treasure's head. "Yes and you're still gonna be in trouble for that, by the way. But that doesn't mean he'd love you any less."

The little girl still looks unconvinced and Kyoko likely won't be able to get that scary idea out of her mind anytime soon. But she can make things just a little easier for Kyoya in the future, hopefully. "Uncle Hayato broke one of his rules roo, you know? Hibari-san still loves him anyways, that's just how he rolls."

The girl sniffles loudly, hiding her face on Kyoko's shoulder and pouting firmly. Kyoko can only breathe a tiny sigh. Hopefully this isn't something that sticks forever...

Kyoya is gonna be heartbroken...

[harumiura]

redrew this comic because.... well

[what-the-fuck-khr]

new merch (and artwork) will be revealed by Amnibus soon, for The Animate Fair being held in December! looks like the artwork is students and their teachers? 👀🤔 if that’s correct, looks like it’s (obviously) Tsuna and Reborn, (hopefully) Bianchi and Hayato, Takeshi and Squalo, Kyoya and Dino and Fran and Mukuro. this is the first time in a long time we’ve gotten art of Tsuna in this outfit, and it’ll be our first merch of Bianchi in a long time, if ever!!

[crystalice067]

There are many reasons the fandom has explained away why, of all his Guardians, TYL!Tsuna only told TYL!Kyouya.

Whether it's because he has the Foundation, rarely interacts with the Main Familia, or just that he's a Cloud - there are a lot of reasons.

There's also the ones about how TYL!Kyouya would be the only one to keep a clear head when TYL!Tsuna has just died, how he's the only one both cold enough to be steady enough to train Tsuna, but cares enough to actually do it.

There's also the shipping ones, how TYL! Kyouya is the only person TYL!Tsuna both truly knows and cares for, how he knows his lover will train his younger self.

I think this can all be true, but there's also something else. Of all his Guardians, Kyouya is perhaps the only one that doesn't expect Tsuna to do things he doesn't want to do that doesn't benefit him. Nor forces him in a role he does not want.

Gyokudera, from his first interaction with Tsuna, revolves around the fact that Tsuna will be Vongola Decimo. It's likely, even on their deathbeds, he will call Tsuna Jyuudaime, and even after that. Tsuna will never actually be able to be himself around him, especially once he's truly Vongola Decimo.

Takeshi will always seen Tsuna as the boy who saved him from suicide, who gave him a purpose. Tsuna gave Takeshi his Will to live - and this colours all their future interactions.

Lampo is the kid he took in, who looks up to him, who he always has to be the role model to.

Ryouhei is always so bright and genuine, dragged into the Mafia only because he's the strongest Sun Namimori has.

Chrome has always called Tsuna Boss. While she may be one of the few he actually would've truly Harmonized properly without outside influence, their relationship has long been tainted by outside perspective and opinions long before they met.

Mukuro is another he would've naturally Harmonized with, without tampering. Still, Mukuro doesn't try to bond with Tsuna. Can't, when he's been in Vindicare for so long in the TYL.

Kyouya is the only one who both never forced him into the Mafia nor anchored him as his Will to live. Tsuna is simply the Sky his Clouds drift through. It's just as simple and as complicated as that. Kyouya just wants Tsuna strong enough to both protect himself and to be a better sparring partner. Kyouya doesn't care if Tsuna is a Boss or a Lackey. In the end, Tsuna will most likely always be Little Animal in Kyouya's eyes.

[rebo-chan]

Hello, everyone. To today's episode of Tumblr user Rebo-chan loses her mind and assigns each and every Vongola guardian a flower that I have painstakingly searched high and low for (I wish I was being dramatic, I got too invested in this as I worked on it). Is this done in a state of mania? Perhaps, but I am diseased by COVID-19 as we speak and this is what I will do with the time I am meant to be resting with. Nonetheless we must get started. Content under the cut, because I can NEVER make a short post. It's against my core beliefs clearly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi:

The European Orange Lily (Lilium bulbiferum)

My reasoning for this starts with the fact that the "lily" itself has a lot of different meanings, but the important aspect of the lily is that its considered the spring flower and represents often meanings of renewal and rebirth. The very messaging for our sweet boy, a life restarted after he meets his mentor. An orange lily specifically has meanings dipped into warmth, joy, passion (In regards to his devotion to those he loves), 'welcoming' to new opportunities in your life (lol), and most importantly - confidence and pride. Something that he grows to be over the course of his renewal, pride in his friends. Confidence in his strength to protect them. KHR is a story about a nobody becoming somebody strong enough to protect them, even and especially when they falter themselves. It should also be noted that in Hanakotoba (Japanese flower language), orange lilies represent 'revenge and hatred'. Which I think is a factor of Tsuna we can't ignore, as sweet as he is, TYL Tsuna's actions become darker the more you think about them. Tsuna can and has killed when a villain has overstepped too far, and never forget that he just wanted to know "who" Yamamoto's attacker was. For no reason, just to look at him, maybe shake his hand lol. Fr though, that boy's made of fire, both to keep his loved ones warm and to burn their enemies. I think the orange lily fits him nicely.

Also yes, I'll do my best to color-code these flowers~

Gokudera Hayato:

A Red Fressia

So, its quite hard actually to find any sort of 'red' flowers that aren't about some sort of romantic-esque devotion. Just being a red flower inherently puts you in that category of 'passion, love, marriage' meanings when it comes to flowers. It's a real struggle, but luckily he's our only red character amongst the Vongola kids. Okay, so the Freesia is represented by the concept of friendship and ultimate trust. I think it was easier for me to find a flower that represents devotion or duty and tack it on to Gokudera, but I think that's just looking at him on the surface. The story behind the freesia is that the botanist who found them in South Africa decided to name it after his friend as a symbol of their friendship. Very lovely :)<3 For all of Gokudera's dutiful affection for Tsuna, a lot of it is based on the fact that Tsuna was his first friend and the person who he trusted first. His eventual character growth and bonding with the other guardians came as he allowed himself to trust them, when he realized that his 'duty' that he believed to be absolute was above his bonds. Rather, it's his bonds that strengthen his resolve to be the perfect right hand man. Due to the intense representation of friendship and trust, freesias are given to a loved one to represent commitment to them, not unlike Gokudera's commitment to Tsuna and therefore the Vongola family unit. It should also be noted that in Hanakotoba, freesias also have a negative meaning which is childishness and immaturity which I do feel is something that Gokudera has to work through in order to become the best version of himself and has done quite well at by the end of the series. He's our little friendship blossom :)<3 Yamamoto Takeshi: Himalayan Blue Poppy

Let me start this by complaining that 'blue' flowers are so fucking rare, it took me forever to find something matched and was also color-coded with Yamamoto, that didn't dip into too indigo, because of the rarity of a nicely blue flower. To start, blue as a color has all those lovely Yamamoto vibes of being calming, easy on the mind, tranquility, all that beautiful stuff we know Yamamoto to be. (It's almost like Amano color-coded her characters guys..) Poppies themselves got a bit of cultural significance in the West, being the flowers given to WW1 soldiers after they'd passed as a way of remembrance. They're also known for growing in desolate war-torn areas, just a patch of poppies as well as having many soldiers buried with a poppy with them in honor. With that the poppy itself has themes of death, honor, lessons, tradition and remembrance. With Yamamoto’s connection to the Poppy flower, Yamamoto himself is..pretty death-coded. HEAR ME OUT. HEAR !! ME OUT!!!! Varia arc, Squalo ‘dies’ against Yamamoto. Future arc, Tsuyoshi is killed for Yamamoto being involved with the Vongola, Shimon with Yamamoto himself getting nearly killed and then that big moment where he offers to kill Daemon in retaliation for what was done to Kaoru. While not canon as well, the primo fillers are about Yamamoto dealing with the fact he DIDNT kill daisy and how he felt he had to be less easy-natured and actually go for the kills from now on. And of course, his attempt during daily life when he could not do what he loved anymore. He’s VERY death-coded y’all. But the poppy itself isn’t just some omen of death, but the lessons one can gather from those who have passed. Yamamoto’s own battle style is about taking the lessons of those before him who carried Shigure Soen Ryu and then growing upon that to carve a new and improved future for himself and those he cares about. He adapts to their lessons, what Squalo and Tsuyoshi have to teach him. On the fly, continuing the Shigure legacy and creating more moves to eventually pass on to the one that succeeds him. In general, he carries any lessons he has up until the end of the series and tries to never make the same mistake again. Whether that’s his lessons against the Mists he’s battled, his loss against Squalo for not having a proper sword style, and though he doesn’t get a chance against Gamma again, he’s always understood the importance of teamwork. That being said, he’s not just a poppy. He’s a Himalayan Blue Poppy. You see the himalayan blue poppy has a different meaning outside that of the ones that the other poppies do. With its rarity, it also represents success, potential, pursuit of dreams, and possibility.  Yamamoto is the Vongola family’s prodigy, a natural born hitman, the star baseball player on his team. Stuck at a crossroads between his dream and being able to be in a position to protect the ones he loves. An impossibly difficult choice to make, yet Yamamoto handles it with ease. He just won’t choose! He’ll do both! Which fights very nicely with the Hanakatoba meaning of the poppy. “Fun-loving” “A reminder to remember happiness.” Along with general blue color meanings of tranquility, that is Yamamoto to his core, I believe. When things get their worst, he is there to remind everyone that it is never as bad as it feels. To wash away the blood spilled, that is the role of the Vongola Rain Guardian. His crossroad isn’t an issue to him, because that’s not what he fights for! He fights to make things easier for everyone, so they may remember happiness. That sort of thing doesn’t exactly need him to make a choice on his path. Now, does it? If he’s forced to choose, he will just carve out new possibilities for himself and the ones that he loves with the lessons he’s learnt. 

Lambo Bovino: Green Envy Zinnia

Contrary to the title, the green envy zinnia has nothing to do with envy. Quite the opposite, actually. The zinnia itself represents endurance (HEAR. ME. OUT LOL), lasting affection, joy, and various other things. So, the zinnia is super fucking tough, again hear me OUTTTT. They bloom all the way from springtime to autumn, something pretty unheard of from flowers which gave them their meaning. A green envy Zinnia specifically represents growth or a journey. Wishes of a healthy and successful growth. And I believe that is the hope for Lambo, as he progresses through the series. He is quite literally a child, both himself and TYL. But that’s just the thing for him, to the one that chose the guardians (Iemitsu, it’s very implied that it was Iemitsu), Lambo is an INVESTMENT. And a correct one if twenty years old Lambo was anything to go by. Not only that, the zinnia represents a joyous endurance. This doesn’t have to be painful for him, and it’s not as he’s allowed to both be a kid in Tsuna’s care while also holding on tight when told to stay out of the fight. (“You have to take the younger me wherever you go, he wants to go with you.”). And as a bit of an angsty little hehe on my part, the zinnia also represents missing those who have passed, that you remember someone and love them even now that they’re not with you. (“Seeing you all again, I thought the day would never happen. It’s making me emotional.”) Honestly, judging by how Lambo fights when he gets the opportunity to properly do it, he just isn’t weak. Destroying Kikyo’s box animal, fighting against Ooyama, and of course against Levi too. In Hanakotoba, the Zinnia represents loyalty. He is their youngest blossom, enjoying being around the one he considers a brother with hidden potentials to grow into someone with the ability to be Vongola’s shield. If the ones he loves ever make it to see that sight, of course. 

Ryohei Sasagawa: Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) 

Okay, so the yarrow is first of all a funky flower. If you’ve never seen OTHER colors of the yarrow flower, I implore you to google it. Especially the red ones? Why are you so pretty? Lucky enough for this flower (and me I’m starting to lose my mind here, this was a much bigger task than I thought it would be) the different colors don’t change the meaning of the flower here which is neat. It also unfortunately has no hanakotoba meaning either. So, anyway. The yarrow. It represents a warrior’s bravery, protection, and healing. The healing comes from the fact that its a commonly used herb for bruises, cuts, and sprains. There’s also huge folklore around it which affects its scientific name, as Achilles used yarrow to take care of the men he was in charge of. This flower was also used as a ward against evil, where people would hang this outside of their homes in order to protect them from evil getting inside. A superstition developed around this leading to Yarrow to be named the devil’s nettle to refer to the belief that the devil would come around and shake the yarrow that people hung up due to wanting to curse them. This flower also represents strong everlasting love, to the point where a little tradition propped up where people would shove this flower up their nostrils whenever they had a nosebleed so if they dreamt about their crush it meant that they liked them back lol. Yall there was so much rich lore on this flower, it’s super neat. More than I could fit in here. Anyway, I’m sure yall see the connection with Ryohei acting as the group older brother, being the motivating factor for them. He was the first to go up during Varia arc and set the tone for the rest of the battles, that the Vongola would win. Last to show up during future, representing that all of them had finally been reunited. A draw against Aoba, again the very first battle, almost symbolizing HOW shimon would end. He’s the strength in their arms, acting as the last person to leave in future arc until they were ready to go. Taught them and helped lead them to make decisions during that arc. It’s almost his duty to protect the younger ones, even getting up on Hibari’s case in the fillers for not helping out his younger classmen. We can’t even dismiss the way he would prefer to shield Kyoko from everything that they go through, and getting aggressive with Tsuna when Tsuna broke something he thought both of them saw eye to eye on.  Not much rattles him, honestly if you pay attention to his scenes, only getting the most nervous and agitated TRULY when he fears he won’t be able to protect someone (Asking Tsuna how Kyoko reacted to the news, Tozaru getting on his case about Lambo coming to the battle) Otherwise, he’s his happy loud confident self ready to tackle on anything for the sake of the family. Destroying the misfortune that attacks the family with their own body, the yarrow represents that duty well. For every bruise the younger one gets, Ryohei has the ability to heal it. For every fear, Ryohei tackles it first. Acting as a ward and protector for his family. Hibari Kyoya

Clematis (Etoile Violette)

Clematis is a climbing flower, to start with. One of those flowers that grow along walls and vines. It’s a very adaptable flower, able to work with various environments and thrive amongst them. They’re known as the traveler’s joy, meant to wish travelers good luck and act as protection to those who pass by them. While also having a more negative reputation, having “killed” other plants by outcompeting them considered having done the devil’s work. (The plant is actually considered invasive aha oops) The clematis though, itself represents mental fortitude, cleverness, and the ability to find hope in perilous situations. Hibari himself, I mean just that back and forth reputation is just him, no? Acting as Namimori’s protector, keeping a watchful eye on the town while also being utterly terrifying for Namimori students and almost overwhelming to those competing with him. (Dino will only find escape from Hibari in death, Mukuro is the same) But, he is also undoubtedly Vongola’s wall. Similar to Ryohei, not once throughout the series really and truly faltering. The clematis itself with its representation in mental fortitude can be given to someone when they need mental strength. I think the best way to represent this is directing you to that moment in Shimon arc when Tsuna, while not physical beaten, had been mentally tormented by everything that had happened and Hibari came to his battle to Adel. A simple, but strong “Little animal, your face right now is dull. Watch my fight.” It’s in that fight Tsuna gets his mental strength back, being given a hint to answer the question he’s been stressing and faltering over. Then there’s future arc, having been the only one TYL Tsuna trusted with the plan. Kokuyo Arc, Gokudera seeing an already defeated Hibari and taking him to the battle. Varia arc, the gang realizing that if Hibari is fighting next then they may have already won it and refusing to succumb to the poison in the sky battle. Rainbow arc, Tsuna considering them in that list of people he “just expects to help him.” He has the ability to be their hope, to be another factor of their strength. Where Ryohei is holding them up on the physical aspect, Hibari is absolutely their mental strength. (Isn’t it charming that the two eldest are the pillars of their group? I think it is). Also, in Hanakotoba, the clematis represents moral beauty and order. And that’s just the kinda man who could run something like the discipline committee, isn’t? The special thing, finally is that the etoile violette represents a sense of freedom from troubles. A free man, unchained himself and choosing to help those younger than him. Sometimes for the thrill of a battle, sometimes to actually help them with the reputation of a devil. Unpredictable, but still trusted.  It’s the sky that allows the clouds to roam freely, but even someday that sky will be beaten to death. 

Chrome Dokuro

Lupine (Blue Bonnet)

The Lupine flower is before anything else, a second chance at life. A recovery from one’s trauma and the admiration that comes from that. Its gratitude and kindness put into one. There’s a legend around the lupine flower about a land full of drought where Native Americans had believed would be saved by selflessness and yet no one had come forward to do anything, until a young girl came forward and offered the last of her possessions. The rain came to fall at her sacrifice, and hundreds of lupines had blossomed from the ground saving the tribe from drought and hunger as the seeds of the Lupine could be harvested to be eaten. The Lupine represents that the world will always give back if you are willing to help. Chrome, from her introduction, is told to be a girl who has nothing. With two parents who want nothing to do with her and no friends by her side. She runs forward to save a kitten and is gravely injured. With neither of her parents willing to help her, Chrome wonders if she is going to die here but is offered a deal by Mukuro. It’s here that Chrome is offered her second chance and she spends the whole series trying to return the favor to Mukuro. All while healing from her own trauma, the type of trauma that “no one could care about her”, as she is offered food and bonds from Tsuna, Kyoko, Haru, I-pin, Bianchi, Hibari, and so many others. It's in her second chance that she gets to experience what life truly had to offer her, as thank you for her continued selflessness. It’s that gratitude that she represents and the never-ending desire to give when she doesn’t accept Mukuro’s assistance anymore with her organs because she can no longer give him anything now that he’s out of Vindice Prison. She resolves that she will become someone who can protect the people she and Mukuro like. Her confidence isn’t perfect and she falters quite a bit, not believing that her powers are as great as those around her. But, that’s okay, because her goodness has brought her to people who have got her back until she can figure herself out. She has Mammon to correct her when her illusions are seen through that they are well made, but she’s just dealing with professionals and that’s why they’re seen through. There’s Tsuna who relies on her blindly, never doubting her strength to protect them as he asks her to act as defense during Shimon arc and protect Enma from his attack. Alongside with Fran, she is trusted to protect Yamamoto and Gokudera in the final battle against Vindice and taken with Tsuna against Jaegar. She has a lot of space to continue growing, but Lupin also represents voracity and happiness in Hanakotoba. She has her second chance to learn all about that, or as Mukuro put it to her, “An ending is merely the beginning of another cycle.”

Rokudo Mukuro

Aconitum (Wolfsbane)

Wolfsbane is also referred to as Monkshood. This is another one with pretty rich lore with its connection to werewolves. It’s referred to as “queens of the poisons” and has a pretty negative message to it on the outside. First of all, this thing’s poison? TOUGH AS HELL. Delirium, frothing at the mouth, vision impairment, and of course the classic coma<3 It’s got an uncanny resemblance to what rabies actually looks like. Fun, right? Okay, fr though onto its meaning. Wolfsbane is an omen that danger is nearby, not unlike the unnerving feeling Tsuna gets whenever he senses Mukuro nearby. Said to have come from Hell itself, the saliva that has dripped down from Cerberus himself. Not unlike our sweet boy. But, being an omen does not always represent something bad. Is he bringing the danger to you, or is he warning you of the true danger that lies past him? It’s a little bit of both. Aconitum represents concealed wisdom and caution in decision-making. But it also DOES represent protection, a proper and true warning of the dangers of the wild. That beauty does not always mean safe. For his twisted sense of vengeance and believing that taking over the world is the only way to destroy it for the sake of what was done to him, he isn’t necessarily wrong for being enraged about what happened to him. Yet, despite his hate, he doesn’t drag those who he cares about further down into it than he has to. He sends Ken and Chikusa away when they are going to get caught, he never uses Chrome for anything besides as a vessel to help her, and he says during Rainbow arc that if he forced Fran to continue past his limits he’d be no better than those nasty adults of his past. Aconitum balances sweetly between light and darkness, similar to Mukuro. He won’t admit it, but he cares for those amongst the Vongola. He infiltrates the Millefiore and sends the Vongola information after Tsuna’s death, he helps Chrome form a barrier around Enma so he could be safe from Tsuna’s X-Burner. And, of course he teams up with Vongola’s team during the rainbow arc. These are undoubtedly kind actions,  but when Tsuna gets angry at Mukuro during Rainbow claiming that he didn’t believe that Mukuro was the type to abandon his allies, Mukuro says that that was just his idea of him. Even though it was Chrome ultimately rejecting him, he instead pretended that he really was some big bad heartless person. Definitely, Mukuro is no angel, but also he’s no demon either. He’s.. just a human at the end. The aconitum’s dance with both light and dark, a flower that tries to warn, can be read both good and bad depending on how you look at it. His rejection of his ‘official’ position as part of the Mafia, yet acting as the Vongola Mist Guardian when their goals align. He’s as confusing as the duty he embodies, but he succeeds nonetheless in ensuring the family is untouchable in his deceptions. After all, the best way to fool your enemies is to fool your allies first.

[ciaossu-imagines]

This is very random, but I think I’ve read somewhere on one of your posts where you mentioned having an AU where the girls in KHR get to be badasses and cool, and I think it’s an interesting take. Can you share more about it if it’s okay with you? 🤗

Oh my gosh, anon dear! That is very random, but absolutely wonderful as I just hadn't figured many people would think to ask about it! It's actually an AU I've had for years and years but never really took the time to flesh out very well, but have what I do have on it!

So basically, the way I have always seen it, and still see it, is that the female characters in Reborn! really do get kind of the short end of the stick. They're not utilized well, they're not treated as equally important to the male characters, they're often not taken seriously, even in universe, and that's always been something that bothers me.

It keeps being said in the manga that the Mafia treats its women well but honestly...no, they fucking don't, and that AU really came about because I'm eternally pissed about that.

We do see a few women in the CEDEF who do actually get the badass moments, like Lal, for the most part, they're eclipsed largely by the males, and in the case of the girls around Tsuna, they're not even allowed to do anything that doesn't really revolve around a male.

It does not, and will never make sense to me, that Bianchi was really sidelined the way she was. As one of the first female characters introduced who was really a part of the Mafia world, she was shown initially to be very strong. She was someone with a unique power, good instincts, great skills and then...she just became someone who really just kind of helped Nana out and became used only when it would further Hayato's plot. So in the AU, this doesn't happen. She becomes an actual part of Tsuna's family, fighting in battles, really holding her own on the front-lines, because she mentions even in the manga how much she loves the heat and thrill of battle.

Kyoko, the first female really introduced, and she really spends the entirety of the story as only a pawn in other people's stories. Even in the TYL! arc, where she gets more screen time, her story and her character really only revolves largely around how her being there impacts Tsuna and Ryohei and giving them something to fight for. And she deserves so much better. And it really does bother me, because Reborn's scouting students, looking for members of Tsuna's family, and yet he completely rules out the possibility of people like Haru and Kyoko, despite them being such a huge feature in Tsuna's life?

So the AU! has this not happen. In it, Reborn behaves in the more logical way and recruits both girls into Tsuna's family and it turns out, they're both really good at this Mafia thing. Kyoko looks innocent and sweet and kind, and it makes people trust her quickly and open up to her easily, so she's incredibly useful for espionage and she actually gets to a point, by the time she's an adult, where she really learns how to properly work as a spy or how to use her feminine charms and wiles to her advantage. And Haru, with her Mist flame and creative mind, becomes a master of disguise, also working on espionage missions but also in helping craft stand-ins or fakes in the future, to keep enemies confused.

And don't even get me started on I-Pin. She's this badass as a literal baby. She's shown to have these super-powerful techniques at an incredibly young age and to be studying to get better...and then she gives it all up and becomes this proper lady, this very studious, modest girl and it just feels like it's pandering to the 'this is the way women should be' feeling. In this AU!, I-Pin gets to remain that badass and she becomes Lambo's bodyguard for the most part but also gets to go on the tougher missions with Ryohei and Hibari sometimes, because they trust in her skills and power.

And Nana? She's nowhere near as much of an airhead as she seems. She knows the score, she knows how things are but she's able to put it aside, to focus on protecting her son and husband in her own way, and providing them a loving home.

✨Next khr Panels!✨ :D

Two Panels back to back this time because they are having a conversation here that I wanna keep cohesive!

Because I think this really really shows how TYL!Kyoya usually interacts with typical Mafiosi.

First! A reminder: right here Gamma has no idea Kyoya is in any way an ally. Nor that him and Kyoya would ever be allies. They are just making conversation for the heck of it, yet, to me, Kyoya immediately comes across as kind of defensive or irate?

Maybe it's because Hayato and Takeshi have been beaten, but the way he refuses to give any amount of info on himself is odd. Cause he was perfectly fine with revealing that the teens came from the past? But he's just flat refusing to engage with Gamma any further.

Maybe he's just eager to battle, but what if this is just how he interacts with Mafiosi? What if the Mafia hasn't been treating him with any of the respect he's rightfully earned?

I like to think the Mafia blatantly disrespect him on the regular, so Kyoya just doesn't put any effort into being polite or making pre-fight conversation these days. Like I think the way Gamma acts is almost disrespectful in a warped way? He's chitchatting at Kyoya like they aren't about to fight! He is not seeing Kyoya as a serious threat here, this nit giving Kyoya the respect he's owed.

Or!! Another idea/option on why Kyoya is acting this way!! Maybe this is just how he checks what kind of info the Mafia is circulating about him? Cause with minimal effort, he somehow made Gamma reveal some crucial info here.

Like the fact that Millefiore has an intelligence unit watching him somehow. And that Millefiore, or it's Blackspell division at least, isn't entirely sure about his allyship to Vongola.

Those are things Kyoya could absolutely use to his advantage. And he barely had to work to get that out of Gamma. I think this just shows that Kyoya is an expert in acquiring info at this point. But also these headcanons can be merged. Kyoya can be defensive and still be gathering info.

💜Multitasking💜

in another episode of me complaining about stupid, meaningless khr things:

i’ve been thinking about how much the anime completely BUTCHERED gokudera’s fashion sense like ??? i love how amano stylized him in the manga, especially in the daily life arc, loved his punk motifs and his spiky, leather cuffs, it fit his image perfectly, but they never quite translated that to the anime and i don’t get why, i’d pull up receipts but i’m lazy lmao just trust me on this one

anyways, gokudera hayato is a fashion icon. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
