The 'frog' incident is still VERY up in arms for me here, but this does provide some explanation that I think people don't generally look into. I do feel very bad for him, but that's what I think it should just be---explanation and not justification.
I am glad he's a bit less of a weirdo than his manga counterpart (if you know, you know), but it's still Jinshi and he still has quite a LOT to learn about relationships (at least from what I know).
Honestly i feel like Jinshi's behavior and him being pushy when it comes to Maomao suddenly makes sense when you realize he's been basically a victim of multiple sexual assaults/attempts at such throughout his life (can't find the exact part in the books rn but it's mentioned that people have been regularly trying to sneak into his chambers due to his nymph-like beauty, and then there's the fact that people have been straight up sending him underwear made from their HAIR??? Like the amount of people we'd consider stalkers that Jinshi attracts is insane) + then there's the fact that his entire life anything that belonged to him was immediately taken away from him. Like. This man needs therapy, i genuinely don't think he knows how romancing someone works and how to deal with wanting to "have" someone for himself, like obviously he probably knows the basics of it but the way he's trying to flirt with her was probably unfortunately influenced by how people always acted around him
And then he's also trying to rush the romance because he fears he'll lose Maomao or she will be taken away from him
And then the fact that she's basically making all these grossed out faces around him and is treating him like a normal person - he probably feels safe around her
He's such a poor lil meow meow
Yeah he tends to be real cute when he's not killing people 💗 :)
Shinpei going all giddy over Satoko is sooo cute 💗
I have to get something off my chest real quick.
*inhale*
I don't ship Aoikane. I don't like it. Well, mainly because I don't like Akane.
Sorry :/
Hope your toe feels better. Maybe tomorrow you'll have better luck 'getting your foot in the door' :P
I HIT MY TOE i wanted tumblr to know that
I hate how well the duality of Shinpei is handled between him being bat-crap crazy and being a sickeningly sweet husband

Hey there!
Thank you so much for the likes—I really appreciate it!
Are you a writer? If so, what genre do you write about?
Thanks for your interest! To say I'm an 'aspiring' writer would be more accurate (lol). I generally tend to write mystery, drama, horror---sometimes romance (but mainly the former). I'm currently working a few projects I hope to finish but haven't really been able to due to my personal life. One project of mine that really has my attention is called, "The Bone King."
Fair as well. Hanako looked at WandaVision and said 'legit'
It's already bad enough how Hanako attempted to gaslight Yashiro into being in an alternate world. It's even worse that he then put her in a cell until the rest of said reality was done being made.
But wanna know what I think is the most disrespectful aspect of him putting her in the cell?
THE FACT THE INTERIOR LOOKS LIKE SH---
Look in there and analyze. If that ain't the most Temu looking princess bed I done ever seen in my life--
He's already went through the process of manipulating Yashiro and trying to imprison her against her will, but then he has the utter gall to put her in a room that doesn't even look good?!
And I don't wanna hear no excuses. Mei was able to conjure a whole universe with just a pencil and a notebook, yet you're telling me Hanako couldn't ask her to make a nicer room? At that point, that's just plain disrespectful. Even the Beast from Beauty and the Beast gave Belle a much nicer room.
"Oh, it was temporary" Okay but she's a human, not a freaking dog.
You're telling me he couldn't get her a room like THIS? (Well, not EXACTLY like this but you get my point)
Yeah no, Hanako, what the actual heck is wrong with you? (Everything is wrong with him, why did I even ask--)
Imprisonment is already bad enough, but to put her in the most ghetto looking room is mad work. If he wanted her to stay so bad, couldn't he or Mei have at least made it NOT look like a cell?!
And in the anime, it looks even worse. All that's in there is a bed with chains and boxes. Blud couldn't even be bothered to get her GENUINE FURNITURE!
"It's for your safety" my a---
I hope what he was going to say was "I'll respect your wishes to not further this relationship, all the while I am upset you lied to me."
That would definitely be more preferable :>
Hotaru no Yomeiri
The perfect cover for a Spotify playlist I'll never release.
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.
Hi. I like stuff :)I am unable to donate---sorry I'm a brokie
