How did Kureno Sohma’s curse break?

In season 2 episode 25, when Kureno and Tohru were discussing the Sohma Curse in the park, Kureno told Tohru that his curse broke effortlessly a long time ago. The manner in which the other Zodiacs’s curses break explains why he didn’t do anything to break his own curse:

-Momiji’s bond severed when Hatsuharu confronted Akito over his love for Rin, then broke a short time later after Akito dreamed about it. 

-Hiro’s curse broke when Akito was about to stab her mother.

-And the other Zodiac’s curses broke when Tohru and Kyo were confessing their love for each other.

The curse doesn’t break because the one who is cursed breaks it themselves, the curse breaks because of collective deviances from the original story and respective character roles (like defying the will of God).

*

Kureno’s Curse didn’t break because of something he did, but because of something another member of the Zodiac did.

*

The questions are, ‘which Zodiac member(s) broke Kureno’s curse?’ And ‘How did his curse actually break?’

To answer that, we look at the timeline, then look at the events we know.

*

Kureno said that it broke when he was a little younger than Tohru was. Given that Kureno is around 27, and Tohru is around 18, his curse broke around 11 years ago, give or take.

Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo, would have been around 6 or 7 when his curse broke.

*

Given all of this, and the estimated ages of when the event happened, It’s my theory that Kureno’s curse was broken by Tohru and Yuki.

Specifically, the day Yuki and Tohru met.

What do y’all think of the theory?

Y’aaaallllll!!!

My Furuba/JJK crossover fic is all prepped and sitting in my drafts to be posted to ao3 as soon as it’s Monday!! I’m so excited!!!

How do you think the jujutsu sorcerers learned about the curse? How do you think it’ll break? Will the Zodiac ever know they’re being investigated? (What other questions do you have??)

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.

Jigsaw Eclipse: Do you think a dildo would stick to flat surfaces if it had a suction cup?

Zodiac: I mean, I guess…?

Jigsaw Eclipse: Yeah, I thought so. I may need help.

Horoscope: What did you do now?

Jigsaw Eclipse, finally showing them he’s stuck several to his skin: I fucked up.

Zodiac: WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THOSE!?

Horoscope: Why do they look like that!?

i think when talking about Shigure, it's important to note that he was constantly operating under the assumption that the curse would eventually break on its own. he saw Kureno's curse break with no outside interference, and he's spent enough time with Akito to know that her hold on the curse is greatly weakened. in Shigure's mind, the curse was on its way out: it could break in twenty years, or ten, or maybe even as little as five. his efforts are just a way to speed up the process so he can be with Akito quicker (and to save the other zodiac members but that's not really his big priority). so while he 100% took the most selfish route by catering to his own plans instead of helping the other zodiacs survive the curse, his personal justification was likely "it will eventually break anyway so all of the zodiacs will be freed regardless of my interference" instead of just "i don't care about the other zodiacs so they can go ahead and rot."

Holy moly dude. People on Pintrest are so talented. I'm addicted, and with no shame.

Fruits basket au where there is no curse and All zodiacs are shapeshifters instead. Shape-shifting is an ability that only few possess within the Sohma family but for some reason it's super prominent in this generation.While it is a rather peculiar ability it doesn't come with disadvantages such as transforming when hugged by the opposite sex or a bond that forces a connection between "God" and the shifters.The only disadvantage is that the shifter is still influenced by their non human forms.(like having a hair and eye color that is not normal or for example Kyo being slugish when it rains)

Akito,the head of the family, has an immense dislike for all of the shifters.(It's Jealousy). She tries and fails to be as manipulative and controlling as in canon.

Anyways the Sohmas are still.... unpleasant when it comes to the shapeshifters but at the same time way less toxic and abusive to their children.

The key difference would be that when Kyo runs into Kyoka,he saves her from the drunk driver and eventually meets Tohru, who then gains a catboy boyfriend, a win-win for everyone
