I love gaining more reasons to stan Yashiro as a character 💗
Notice how just about every other apparition going after Nene has to dismantle her strength first? Ghosts---GHOSTS---have to make elaborate plans just to even GET TO HER because they know full fact she'll whoop they a---
It honestly shocks me how virtually no one in the TBHK fandom is talking about how physically strong Yashiro is. She is a lot stronger than we give her credit for.
Haters will call it glaze, but I call it appreciation.
Now, let me make this clear for anyone who wants to be like, "well, ackshually--" yes, I know that Yashiro doesn't have the same amount of physical strength as Hanako---of course she doesn't. Hanako, despite having the build of a stick, is capable of taking down entities twice his size with just his willpower and a knife.
Hanako has obviously had more than enough time to adapt to the world around him and thus got adequate fighting skills as a result of that. No question that Yashiro obviously is not on the same physical wavelength. But y'all aren't going to gaslight me into saying that Yashiro can't throw hands.
Sure, we can argue that some of these moments were for comedic effect, but I don't think it downplays her feats here. She might not have Isekai level fighting skills, but she knows how to get rrready to rrrumble.
Heck, from the very start when her and Hanako's bond was first officialized by the mermaid scale, Hanako teases her (like the jackoff he is) and Yashiro responds by elbowing this nickel clean in the NECK. In fact, she elbows him so hard, it KNOCKS him over into the DESKS.
Yes, we could also argue in this moment that Yashiro didn't mean to actually hurt him since she didn't know she could touch him. But the fact she even still threw hands at him says quite a bit to me.
In fact, the added notion that she thought she COULDN'T harm him makes it more effective in displaying her strength in being able to fully topple this boy over. Because if that's what she was gonna do ironically, how strong would she be if she were to seriously throw hands? (Don't worry, that question is answered later in this post)
Yashiro since then continues to throw hands with Hanako whenever he gets on her nerves. She beats on Hanako nearly every other crescent moon, but Hanako deals with it because he's a masochist. There's no other explanation I can provide for why he lets her do this stuf to him.
There's no way he's NOT actively letting her hurt him with the amount of physical strength Hanako clearly has and has been shown to have (this dude won a fight against floating scissors in the Misaki Stairs, for crying out loud---)
Did we forget that time in the spinoff manga where she managed to pin him down to the floor with a MOP?
Or what about that time Yashiro heard him talk about her and so she defied physics and attacked from the side HEAD FREAKING FIRST?
"Oh but that's just her and Hanako's dynamic--"
Fear not, dear reader, because there's many more instances of Yashiro casually flexing her strength and agility.
There was a time within the Misaki Stairs arc where Yashiro literally runs and glides across a DOLL to jump up, then lands perfectly, and reaches Yako's yorishiro. Even Hanako was shocked.
Oh, that's not enough?
Well, let me introduce you to a (not-so) wonderful being known as Nakahara from Chapter 115, who pinned Yashiro to a wall and she (rightfully) responded by UPPERCUTTING HIM from the JAW, doing a FRONT FLIP across the guy's CHEST, landing on the floor perfectly, and speeding off away from him.
Comedic, exaggerated, or not, you can't deny that's some pretty impressive stuff.
I don't care what no one says, Yashiro can throw hands when it counts.
There's a live action version of Firefly Wedding?
DON'T DO THIS TO ME. DON'T DO THIS, DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART, DON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE THIS---
2.5-dimensional handsome actor Shohei Hashimoto perfectly recreates the role of the “love is too heavy” killer! What is the popular manga “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?
``Firefly's Wedding'' is the latest work by Oreko Tachibana, the author of the manga ``Promise Cinderella,'' which was made into a live-action film by Fumi Nikaido and Atsushi Maeda, and became a hot topic of conversation (currently being serialized in ``Manga One''). In this work, the heroine's partner, the assassin Shinpei, became a hot topic, saying that ``love is too heavy,'' and the first volume was decided to be urgently reprinted as soon as it was released! To commemorate the release of Volume 2, the popular character Shinpei has been perfectly recreated by 2.5D actor Shohei Hashimoto. Mr. Hashimoto has appeared in many Japanese-style productions such as the musical ``Hakuouki'' and the stage play ``Touken Ranbu,'' and is a manga lover who even wrote the original story himself. We will also introduce recommended points of "Firefly's Wedding" as well as photos taken of Shinpei in Japanese clothes ♡
The time is the Meiji era. Satoko Kirigaya, the daughter of a count, is blessed with both her family name and beauty, but it has been declared that she has only a short time left to live, and her only dream is to marry in a way that will benefit her family. Meanwhile, Satoko's life is suddenly targeted by a mysterious killer, and in order to survive, she proposes to the killer, Shinpei Goto, ``Please marry me.'' It was supposed to be a one-off lie, but Shinpei is a man with a lot of love...
Q: ──I'm sure you're used to wearing Japanese clothes on stage, but what did you think of wearing a kimono inspired by Shinpei?
A: It's been a while since I've worn a kimono like this (a kimono without a haori, simply tying an obi), so I was very happy, and there's something exciting about photographing kimonos. This time, I was playing the role of a killer, so I had a lot of fun filming it, thinking that I shouldn't let my excitement show too much.
Q: ──You showed off various facial expressions and postures, but what points did you pay attention to in order to bring out Shinpei's uniqueness?
A: I was struck by the way Shinpei-kun's head is tilted, as if he's relaxed and relaxed, so I kept this atmosphere in mind when designing his stance. The rest is the eyes. In fact, before filming, the author, Tachibana Oreko, gave me this advice to my editor: ``Anyway, I hope you give me dead eyes...''
Q:──Mr. Hashimoto, what impressions did you have when you read “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?
A: I thought it was going to be a girls' manga as a genre, but there are scenes where people are cut with swords and it's surprisingly cruel, so it's different from the girls' manga I had imagined! I was surprised with. Because of the battle scenes, it's very easy to read even for someone like me who came from a youth magazine. Of course, it's about the love story between Satoko and Shinpei, but it also has suspense elements like who orchestrated Satoko's kidnapping in the first place, so I think it's a fun manga to explore.
Q:──What scene in particular captured your heart because of the beauty of the painting?
A: The scene where Shinpei-kun and Satsuko-san watch fireflies together. I especially love the scene in Volume 2 where Shinpei-kun releases fireflies into Satsuko-san's room. Another unforgettable scene is the scene where the two kiss for the first time. There are many people lying around who were killed by Shinpei-kun, and the two figures are reflected in the pool of blood. Although the situation is cruel, it is a very nice expression and I think it is beautiful. It's so fascinating that you can't help but look into every corner of it.
Q: ──Mr. Hashimoto, what kind of character did you think of Shinpei?
A: At first, you get the strong impression that Shinpei-kun is kind of a "dangerous person," but as you read on, you'll find that he's surprisingly cute. I thought this gap made him a really fun character. For example, the scene at the beginning where Satoko is saved from a villain while she is locked up in a prison. He escapes by jumping off a tall building, and I really like his poignant expression. He even makes an expression like this! (laughs) After all, love is heavy! Looking at Shinpei-kun makes me think that love and madness may be a thin line.
Q: Mr. Hashimoto, you sometimes demonstrate your swordsmanship on stage, but what impression did you get of Shinpei's sword technique?
A; This first sword line is depicted in the scene where Shinpei-kun saves Satsuko-san. I really like his style of cutting with his legs wide open. In the case of kimono, there is a style of slashing without showing your legs, but when I played Hajime Saito in ``Hakuoki'', I also slashed with my legs wide open. Also, although Shinpei-kun looks rough, he has a surprisingly delicate expression on his sword. For example, this sword technique that involves returning the sword in a detailed manner. It gives the impression of a mixture of movement and stillness.
Q: ──If ``Hotaru no Yomeiri'' were ever made into a stage play and Mr. Hashimoto was chosen to play Shinpei, how would you like to play him?
A; I want to firmly express Shinpei-kun's dual nature. Shinpei-kun may be saying what he really means, but if you look at him from the outside, you can't see the bottom of his heart. I would like to act with this in mind.
Here's something you guys are gonna have to understand about me. I like fanon Bakugou. But I utterly despise the CANON Bakugou in most aspects. And no, I do not care if you hate me for disliking him---if y'all were in the same room with him, he'd be a dipstick towards you, don't even cap.
Guess it's time to make a fanfiction for Marvel's Moon Knight.
Your harassing neighbor dies. Then a bullying coworker dies in a crash. Within a month, people you’ve had bad blood with start dying. The police are watching you closely—but you haven’t done anything… at least, not that you know of.
It's beautiful :')
I'm so tired of the 'bad boy' or emotionally stunted male love interests for stories.
I want a story with a decent guy who just so happens to like leather and rides a motorcycle while being extroverted and funny.
"That sounds a bit unrealistic---"
So is having a healthy relationship with someone who glitches just from trying to say, "I feel ____" so I guess we're both at a standstill here.
I love a dark and brooding love interest as much as the next person, but it's honestly getting pretty old. Vintage even.
Sorry not sorry for wanting more media with fictional couples that have healthy communication and basic respect.
I legit hate it when people do this.
when they put freaky ah smut in the fluff tags 💔
My fanart of Ragatha as a human from TADC
I find it funny how people in the Homicipher fandom keep drawing Mr. Crawling with the super beefy manhwa body type yet Mr. Crawling more than likely is built like Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride.
I'm not denying the strength Mr. Crawling has (because he's DEFINITELY strong) and I'm not saying you can't make art of whatever you want. And who knows? Perhaps he does have a sleeper build under his outfit. But I personally feel like he's got the thickness of a twig under there, lol
Lisren, I enjoy Hanako as a character. I do.
But if someone were to hire someone with the promise of acting as this guy's version of J. Jonah Jameson, I'd gladly sign up because Hanako is a menace. If you read the manga you know what I'm talking about.
I don't care how cute the ship is or how much I ship it, I refuse to overlook the fact this dude was willing to just let Aoi die off of it meant Yashiro could live and the fact he refuses to tell Yashiro anything (and the fact he was complete perv for a while). Intentional or not, he does not respect her autonomy. He does not let her genuinely make choices for herself in terms of what she thinks is best for her. He knew full well Yashiro would be against the stuff he does, that's why he doesn't tell her. He knows it'll hurt her or upset her in some way, but doesn't care because he assumes he knows what's best for her without bothering to ask for her consent on the matter.
It's a 'you don't know what you want, Luigi know what you want' kinda deal and it irks me at times when I truly sit down to think about it.
"He does it because he loves her---"
So you're telling me that if you had cancer that was gonna kill you off early and your boyfriend made plans behind your back to kill your best friend---a person who's supported you for years---in order to switch your conditions to keep you alive, you would NOT lose your mind? Yeah, I'm calling cap on that.
I understand he has his reasons and you're still allowed to like the ship, I clearly still do. But can we all stop acting like Hanako is an innocent angel who doesn't know what he's doing?
The sooner we admit Hanako is a yandere, the better because what is he if not that?
