a while back I had a dream that people would put their otp (gay) underwater, like on a jpeg, and put text on it saying "the writers might have made you straight but the fish know" and it was so vivid I made my own, it was this one specifically in my dream:

Ive always wondered and tried to imagine

What would happen if tsukasa experienced freedom for one moment?

To not be tethered to anyone, to be free to go wherever he wants, to do whatever he wants, to be whatever he wants to be..

Well that is somewhat what he is doing right now,, i doubt tsukasa enjoys the afterlife he is leading right now, he wouldn't be so adamnt and quick to try and dissappear if he was, but i wonder if he experienced total and utter freedom, would he go back? To being amane's yorishiro? To being by amane's side? I doubt it, not when he wants amane to be free and happy himself, not when tsukasa believes that amane hates him but tsukasa is so unpredictable i can never tell

But i mostly wonder if amane would allow tsukasa to have that kind of freedom, and if tsukasa was sent free, to no longer be amane's yorishiro but his own apparition, would amane let him go?

I like to interpret Tsukasa's freedom as a feeling, not exactly as a physical state.

Being trapped in a house, in a boundary, in a cage, is not what makes Tsukasa feel unfree - despite being explicitly linked to this - but Amane's love is what makes it a prison.

Tsukasa is trapped by the feeling of love and compassion he feels for Amane, from the moment he decides to sacrifice himself and be trapped in the house, even when he is trapped in the cage.

Tsukasa was fully convinced that his love was not enough. He was unhappy in the red house because he believed that Amane hated him, so the house became a prison, he could not see Amane again, even though he loved him very much, because Amane did not love him.

The walls were nothing compared to the feeling of being rejected.

The twins living in the same house, but who could not meet due to the invisible barriers. Tsukasa in the supernatural world while Amane was in the world of the living.

Tsukasa could leave the house whenever he wanted, he said so himself, but he also said that he "thought he shouldn't".

Trapped in the feeling of rejection.

When he became the yorishiro, the feeling of rejection increased. Amane raised the knife against him and killed him, not only that, but every reception he had when he met Amane again in the afterlife was surrounded by fear, sadness, melancholy.

Amane's obvious expression of discomfort when he saw Tsukasa again would obviously affect him. Amane didn't want to be around him, didn't want to see him.

So that's why he says "you despise me but you never let me go".

Tsukasa doesn't like feeling rejected, so he tends to leave. He's not the type to accept this kind of behavior, but he's forced to deal with it. Being a yorishiro, how could he run away from Amane?

And the cage, his moment of fragility, when Nene was calling for Amane while Tsukasa was convinced that he wouldn't come. The sadness wasn't just in the fact that he was locked up, he would know how to get out at some point - as he did - but in the fact that he was weak and that no one would save him, least of all Amane.

He convinced himself to some extent that Amane would never do it, and we see the sparkle in his eyes when Amane appeared to save him.

Tsukasa's prison has no walls or ceiling, but it has a name, Amane.

The brother he loved deeply and who trapped him in a cycle of love and rejection that he wanted to avoid.

So, Tsukasa will be free when Amane finally shows him his true feelings, without possession, without demands, loving just for the sake of loving.

Allowing Tsukasa to choose his path after Amane is completely honest.

Amane: "I love you, and I've made mistakes, I've made mistakes all along the way, but I ask for your forgiveness. Do you want to stay by my side…or leave?"

"Please…stay…Tsukasa"

This is Tsukasa's freedom. Amane's honesty.

Aoinene except I don’t know how to shade hair

Chapter eleven of Kamado-San of the kitchen is up.

Get ready to cry!

Akanene is so funny to me because that's Aoi's worst nightmare. Everytime Akane and Nene hold hands Aoi will fall to the ground in tears and pretend (not well, considering the tears and the shaky voice) that she is happy for them.

Save her.

Picture Perfect Arc

About Aoi in the Sacrifice of the Grim Reaper arc

I see a lot of people saying that Aoi was drugged and that is why she stabbed Akane. Which I agree...

... and I don't.

Hakubo's reaction to her compliance is interesting. He doesn't seem very keen to trust her (maybe because Aoi is very similar to Sumire and he knows what a handful Sumire is lol) but in the end he does.

(Look at Aoi's eyes and how devoid of light they are compared to Nene's)

At the same time, I do think she was drugged but I don't think it had the same effect it had on Nene.

(if anything I do think Sumire wasn't drugged when she was sacrificed, or as Aoi, it didn't have the full effect on her)

On the other hand, it seemed to have some effect on Aoi, which I think only fed on her insecurities.

Her self-loathing and subsequently, on her hatred for Akane.

It fed into her frustrations, her helplessness when it came to her inability to express herself, while also giving her power she never had in her life.

(Look at her, she's so powerdrunk i love her )

And drugged or not, she had made up her mind. Came to peace about her fate as an offering. And here is Akane– it front of her, a supernatural – something he had been hiding from her since gods know when, as had Nene. He had abandoned her in exchange for power over time and had let their relationship grow cold (sure, he confesses to her but she doesn't trust those words as much as she did when they were kids)

And now? Now when she's part of the action and finally in the known– one of them? Now he refuses to accept her decision.

He's fighting her. Fighting to take her back when she doesn't want to go back–

So she stabs him.

She's not drugged anymore here, yet she doesn't hesitate to hit him where it hurts the most (after she herself patched up his wound).

The stabbing was Aoi. Drugged as she was, it was her intention to hurt him the way he had hurt her by keeping things from her.

Maybe not to kill him and maybe she didn't realise he could die from it, because of the drug or because of the heat of the moment. Or maybe she wanted him dead. Because she wanted herself dead.

And Aoi is selfish– if he's so adamant to take her back, she will not hesitate to give him a piece of her mind first (now that he had seen the worst of her)

We're so far apart, and everything separates us. Even so, how can I stop looking your way? For you won't move an inch, and I'm willing to go blind believing you're still within my reach.
