Takafumi Adachi is such an icon.

He's going to write about Kyouya's parents, about how Kyouya looks more like his Mom, give a backstory about his scars, tell how is his relationship with his Dad, explain what kind of company is the TC and how Kyouya inherits it, tell what is his favorite food, draw scenes about him,…

…and then, when someone asks something like "Does Kenta have parents?" and he's just "I can't think about so many details".

[user-needs-new-hyperfixation]

make something up, yes! Here goes...

Mycroft Holmes

Send Me a Character & I'll Tell You✨️

Mycroft Holmes (Yuukoku no Moriarty)

My first impression: ahaha this just reminded me that my first impression (I watched the anime first) was a very unenthused "oh goodie, a Black Butler joke 😑" (and that was before the dub!)

My impression now: sexy sexy dork. Incredibly powerful man who exudes big dick energy is also Every Oldest Child Ever, thrilled to shoot his little brother with toy guns and show him up at every opportunity. Secretly incredibly sentimental. Sends his boyfriend notes via carrier pigeon even though it is entirely within his authority to just visit him. A hero amongst introverts who built an entire club on the premise of silent parallel play for adults. In short, an icon.

Favorite thing about that character: tips into borderline headcanon I suppose, but I think he's immensely protective of people he cares about, and it's sweet. Also his fussing over his hair is adorable.

Least favorite thing: I don't know if it really counts because I enjoy roasting him for it so much that it seems weird to say I don't like it when it's fun for me, but "dislikes stupid people and likes black coffee" is the most cringe Reddit bro nonsense ever.

Favorite line/scene: I like the parallel [paraphrasing, too lazy to find exact quotes] where he says to Albert in chapter four "you have my attention, what do you want?" (intrigued, possibly flirtatious) vs in chapter 23, "you have my attention, what do you want?" (resigned, a little bit sad).

Favorite interaction that character has with another: anything with Albert, obvs, but also the bit when Sherlock comes back is very Important and I'm glad it's there. Also that little part where he says he's been protecting Sherlock from their family's secrets and sort of smiles conspiratorially at William.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: Louis, actually. I want to know to what degree they became friends during the timeskip and possibly leaned on each other in their own reserved and quiet ways in the midst of their grief.

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: hrrrrrm. I feel like there's something obvious that's refusing to come to mind, probably because I'm trying too hard to avoid the fact that the anime wants me to associate him with Sebastian. That did lead me down a J Michael Tatum path to thinking that if anything he maybe reminds me a little of an older Kyouya from OHSHC lmao. Anyway I'll add an edit when the obvious thing I'm forgetting come back to me. 😅

A headcanon about that character: all the dom stuff mainly pfft. Also that he was closer to his father, while Sherlock was a mama's boy.

A song that reminds of that character: all my songs for him are just songs I associate with Mycal, and mostly in a more kind of "Albert POV," but here's one that I have in my Mycal playlist that I think of as more Mycroft POV

An unpopular opinion about that character: eeh. I think I'm pretty in line with the majority of the fandom on him.

Favorite picture: I mean there's lots of lovely shots of him looking very handsome but like...

he's so pleased with himself 🤣

final fantasy: rebirth {a mess of emotions, not in chronological order}

this is more story-based, so heads-up spoilers below.

“question. does that make me a dumbass?”

not aerith asking about reno

chadley nearly outing cissnei and cloud getting real confrontational about it.

cloud is so much more conversational in this, i felt in remake he was bordering on joker level’s of player-character. he’s a lot more laidback, which is understandable since he didn’t really know anyone but tifa and midgar’s only like what a week long?

the game now feels like an ensemble piece rather an a cloud simulator.

cloud not realising he’s the one loner friend

americans aren’t the best swearers - put to much emphasis on the swear itself but cloud does it so well.

he’s a prickly, backchatting bitch in this game and i love every single second of it. he’s not mopey, stubborn and grumpy. he’s ‘i’m going to actively make myself your problem if you cross me, so don’t.’

barret immitating yuffie?! or, “oh, wow. tell us more.” it’s giving abridged.

yuffie’s little naruto run!

yuffie and cloud’s growing sibling dynamic is the cutest shit. like, he should be be pissed at her but immediately protected her from the captain.

all i hear is priscilla’s dad’s irish accent from abridged when ever someone says her name or, “mr dolphin, ye daft bastard.”

rufus shinra… the man that you are.

every rude and elena scene, just, yes. her with the ice-lolly, the corneo fight, rude’s pub club?! babysitting palmer. (also, they call it the clean-shaven club when rude literally has a beard).

i genuinely thought we were gonna at least get that iconic reno and rude scene outside of gongaga (and as a long-shot a reunion with cissnei - i stand by the fact tseng absolutely knows where she is.)

that final turks training facility was a bitch to find.

don’t get me wrong, yuffie, barret, tifa and red’s trials were sad but aerith’s absolutely wrecked me. like i’ve got a stuffy nose already and i literally couldn’t breathe with the tears.

same with dyne and barret, like what you mean you want me to fight palmer?! i’m sitting here ugly crying about two men who love their daughter and have been through hell and back.

i’d love to see cissnei and leslie get involved with the wutai turk team-up

as much as i love aerti’s ‘improved over og’ friendship. it’s not passing the bechdel test anytime soon.

fuck queen’s blood.

cloud saying “down boy” sir- THE WHIMPERING!

the kids locking yuffie in with the hooded men on the cruise.

nanaki walking in the cabin on two legs fucking kills me. i also caught barret admiring himself in the mirror.

the fact the name tag is, “???” when we can hear yuffie cheering on cloti.

did they kiss?!

so, we finally see loveless and it was everything i ever wanted. genesis, i’m sorry, you were right.

“death doesn’t suit a turk”

cloud jr is too cute and i love my chocobro protagonists

speaking of, i’m in two heads about ffxv. you can see a lot of the inspiration the team got from that game but i think they left out the one thing that made ffxv perfect, which was the constant chatter during traversal

cloud turning on tifa during the gongaga reactor mission is giving the ffxv: omen trailer

i need a tonberry robot for my desk

jessie’s poster! i really thought she’d be alive with biggs

cloud calling gus a prick is when it clicked for me, like cloud’s got bite

i need esther’s red boots

cid is played by j. michael tatum?! sebastian- france- kyouya-

elena stuck in the heat yelling at rude, omg this is the turk moments i love.

as someone who is scottish, i can’t believe i witnessed cait sith tell cissnei to “wheesht”.

not the biggest fan of cissnei’s new colour scheme. would’ve gone with browns, accented gold buckles and mustard yellow personally

wished they’d’ve put in an turk easter egg in her house.

cosmo canyon’s lantern scene is so pretty.

gold-fucking-saucer. woah

sitting at the water tower with aerith felt wrong, and i know that was intentional.

omfg vincent, why he kinda dressed like gyuvin in en garde?

jesus, roche.

still not keen on seph’s voice - mainly because i don’t like tyler and also zack is better but i’m still not keen

symbiote!peter to “OMG GUYSSS HAIIII” is like fucking whiplash. two minutes ago we were crying over harry, now hotels?!

i knew that’s what marlene saw! and now zack knows! i am not okay!

was low-key waiting on elena throwing the keystone to reno to catch for a grand intro but he kinda just appears, and i loved every second of it.

the way both tifa and aerith have had to stop cloud murdering a turk.

cloud with blood by his own hand on his face is such a chilling image. it’s like seeing someone like superman with it.

avalanche versus reno and rude’s fight was giving advent children, like specifically reno and rude’s fight with loz and kazoo. (which i rewatched recently. rude’s face when reno steps on his glasses is the funniest thing in that film, also i can’t unhear fred from scooby-doo when loz speaks even though i know it’s not frank welker - it’s the dude that plays corneo).

[littlebrotherteam]

Good morning! Guess who’s writing a mini kyokao ship manifesto first thing in the morning as soon as she is free from her temporary job. its me. its ya gurl. happy pride everyone!

Soo my last post on this matter made me think a LOT about that one mamedanuki exchange/scene, and my lifelong thoughts on it all became more clear the more I reflected upon it. What I am trying to say here is: I never thought he referred to Haruhi in this scene unlike a majority of readers for many reasons (to the dismay of my preteen self who liked this ship to bits too) and before realizing it could as well be about Kaoru I thought “Tamaki then?” but it still made very little sense.

Because Kyouya is THE TamaHaru #1 shipper from the get-go. From the anime-only “maybe it’s the beginning of a love story” and episode 25 shenanigans, to the manga-only crazy efforts he makes to help Tamaki (he was SO tired doing the France trip it’s not even funny . . ) and Haruhi realize and tell their feelings to each other, and even the small “tip” he gives Haruhi at the end so their relationship will progress. He is just their official best man.

And I just don’t think he would ever ACTUALLY think of getting in the way of their love. Even if he did have a crush on any of them (or both) at some point. He supports them too much. He had a lot of opportunities to get in their way, yet he never did. And sure, the point of that exchange might be just that. Leave it open-ended enough so any shippers will be happy about it all.

But as much as I did like KyoHaru I think it was never meant to happen. The iconic bed scene is the most obvious display of that: Haruhi who always ~ sees what’s in everyone’s hearts ~ is like “lol pfft you wouldn’t do a thing” and Kyouya is all “haha what a genius :) you’re something else” and Tamaki comes and sees the scene and goes GRRRR but Kyouya throws a bottle of whatever at him and walks away as if saying “on the other hand this guy right here.. :/ opposite of genius” .

There’s two things about this: first, Kyouya DID say it is fine if only those who care enough get to know who we really are, and at that point he was fully unconcerned with what Haruhi was going to think - he did the evaluation and she just happened to pass it. Secondly, it seems like Tamaki is too dumb to ever get past the evaluation, but it was the same with every other host - he just knocks down the barriers like a dumb wild golden retriever and everyone moves on with their lives. It’s Tamaki’s thing. He ‘d never play the damn game.

For better or for worse. And I think that’s why TamaKyo shippers have a point - people who want a “star-crossed lovers” kind of dynamic will find themselves more at home with TamaKyo because Tamaki mindlessly and effortlessly avoids the game and just knows people intuitively (again, dumb golden retriever lol)  

When Kyouya and Haruhi go on a “date” he is already more honest with her, but even then, their date lacks romance most of all. Then again, that is what people use to explain why Kyouya was also a candidate for Haruhi’s affections (unlike, say, Honey and Mori) which is fair. It makes sense. But the entire point of the date was for Haruhi to go “ohh I get you now” which seems to be in line with Kyouya’s motto of “those who you care about should know you” and shows that he did start caring for her - romantically or ? Up to readers’ interpretations.

In other words, Tamaki is everyone’s favorite dumb golden retriever and Haruhi is everyone’s favorite MPDG (for lack of a better term - the charming girl who appears out of nowhere to change everyone’s lives, but a subversion of the stereotype at least) and that’s not an exclusive Kyouya thing or feeling. It’s just how they are, and this is why the entire club supports them so much.    

But Tamaki will never (be able to) play the damn game for better or for worse, and Haruhi will never be Kyouya’s MPDG for better or for worse (because she simply doesn’t possess traits Kyouya dreams of for a partner ie. pedigree shit) .

____________________________________________________________  

But Honey’s statement (you know, Honey - the see-all, the mature one) implies that Kyouya should have done something about ... something else. Which we are likely to imply that 1) he should’ve told Haruhi his feelings of love for her, or at most 2) he should’ve told Tamaki his feelings of love for him ?? .

Kyouya’s stereotype leads us to believe he is blind to everyone’s feelings but 1) he has Intel (first to know Haruhi’s sex and all that) 2) he really isn’t (the “did you expect he ‘d fall in love?” exchange with Kaoru comes to mind) . Honey implies that he is blind to his own feelings only. But with everything that was going on, he would hardly have been able to remain blind to his own feelings if they involved Haruhi in my opinion - and Tamaki, guess he would but Kyouya doesn’t strike me as the kind whod tell Honey the actual reason why he didn’t go forward with it is that he “doesn’t want to ruin what he found” when what he found is being friendzoned without a fight. That’s not very Kyouya-like. If he thought of himself as the better partner, he would hardly go without a fight. Not being favored not once kept him from trying .. anything really. So we’re meant to believe he found something else. The club’s unity? Or he just thinks TamaHaru is the better couple? Both?    

It’s undeniable that Kyouya loves the club so really, let’s look at it again. He is staring at the four of them going “I’m happy with what I ‘ve found” . Indeed he found the club still together in spite of every instance of kiss kiss fall in hug love that happened in the process and boy, some were messy and that’s what we are supposed to extract from the scene regardless of shipping preferences. Club mommy is happy that the club lives on period.  

Still Honey thinks Kyouya should’ve said something. Whatever it is, it’s a thing that could’ve given them another ending or scene - but does Honey really think Kyouya should’ve been able to get in the way of TamaHaru somehow, which Hikaru didn’t despite all of his desperate attempts? In other words, does he think the part of the scene that would change would be ... the main couple? Or is he actually saying “it wouldn’t change a thing but you should’ve told them” (to the strategist Kyouya of all people) ? Or something else?  

Honey starts the exchange saying “what happened to Kao-chan was unexpected” . And then Kyouya “me, that mamedanuki?” actually kinda surprised - almost offended even, as if Honey had been outrageous! ACTUALLY caught by surprise! - until he gives it a thought and concludes. And then Kyouya explains the reasons he didn’t consider the mamedanuki whoever that is 1) he is looking for a partner with merit for Ootori family 2) he’s happier with this end.      

Merit for family in this context should imply marriage, huh .. when one says marriage in a Japanese setting we are meant to imply a man/woman arrangement so people jumped to the conclusion of “oh yeah, Haruhi” . But broadly speaking it would rule out all four of them - yes it could mean not Haruhi because of her finances but it could mean any man if we’re talking marrying in Japan meaning he could be talking about any of them. Or none of them since Kyouya never explicitly ruled out poor people for relationships (the friendly ones) and the rule shouldn’t be as strict for the half French heirs and he did move to the US (that’s just manga coding for crazy rich asian gay I don’t make the rules) . So moot point. (But of all I guess the twins would bring the least merit anyways .. )

Point two being he is happier with this end, because he acknowledges the mamedanuki as a person but it’s not his thing (heavily implied: kissing kissing falling in love) which takes us back to asking then what is the alt ending .. ?

____________________________________________________________

My opinion is that the part of the scene that’s Tamaki and Haruhi together wouldn’t have changed in any situation. Kyouya gave TamaHaru a much needed push, but it’s not like he sparked the fire - Hikaru did, actually. And Hikaru only did cuz Kaoru did - hence “did you expect him to fall in love?” . Yet Honey is referring to romantic prospects for Kyouya because Kyouya starts talking about partner and marriage and stuff. Again: did Honey seriously think Kyouya could have changed anything about TamaHaru . . ?

With the way Kyouya replies it’s like (he is actually caught by surprise and) it’s someone that wasn’t considered before hardly the girl his best friend caught him on bed with and hardly said best friend “the daddy” and whoever his aim should be is up for grabs because he is “ehh .. could be but yaddayadda” . Yet he is happier with what he got.

Who does Kyouya acknowledge as a person? Judging by the teams he makes whenever there’s a job to get done, well Kaoru. Who would bring the least merit were him to marry anyone there? Still Kaoru (the twins, actually) . And I did explain why mamedanuki could mean Kaoru before. Who was Honey talking about at the beginning of this exchange?  . . .  guess it.

And what did he get, then? Well, if you think about it, at some point things were a mess because Tamaki and Haruhi were oblivious to each other’s feelings and there was some strain in the twins’ relationships to them and to each other. So the four of them couldn’t be together like this. At that point, the twins could’ve been set apart, particularly if Haruhi chose Hikaru, and even though she didn’t Kaoru was lonelier - and if you think about it this was partly Kaoru’s fault too because he realized first “what happens if the both of us like the same thing?” and all so he ended up rushing things. He was selfless, but ultimately quite doomed. The club could’ve ended. During the crisis Kaoru was often left out. During those times Kyouya would pick him (hence Honey’s “so Kao-chan picked Kyo-chan lol?!” )

Soo a lot of bad things could have happened but in the end Tamaki and Haruhi were marrying because both had mutual feelings that couldn’t be set apart by anyone, the twins were still together - albeit having grown up and found out their individuality - and friends with them best of all. So the four of them were happily together. If things had happened any other way, Kaoru would probably feel the guiltiest and loneliest of all. And pretty sure it wasn’t Kyouya’s intention to remove him from that circle either. In other words - if Kyouya and Kaoru were to grow closer Kaoru would be removed from the scene even if all else had gone right so to speak. But Kyouya didn’t actually hold on to Kaoru even though it’s damn obvious he can easily tell the twins apart and thought it was a good thing for them to allow themselves to be different people. But he stepped back as soon as Hikaru found himself annoyed by the lack of Kaoru as if saying “okay you go back now, mission complete” . Treat them as a pack if they want it but only enough so they know they are not.

____________________________________________________________  

And this sir is my compelling argument on why of all people the mamedanuki should mean Kaoru :) if only these little siblings were a little more possessive dammit                                                                                                        

[akumanoken]

It's getting late you say xD It's PAST late and nearly morning when you posted that! That icon looks like Souji clinging to his KyouKyou!!

It does!!!!

To be fair that's exactly what the look like when they sleep. Souji's clinging to Kyouya and Kyou has his arms around him. they're adorable
