Ah I Love My Low Notes. It Means I Stay In My Lane. :3

“why do you ship them? I thought the ship wasn’t canon?” bro we’re talking about fictional characters, who don’t actually exist in real life, from a media that focuses solely on fictional events that are not real either. so what if these two made-up characters didn’t kiss in their source material? they have lots of nasty gay sex on archive of our own and thousands of novel length slow burn enemies to lovers fics written about them. the fanon content at this point far exceeds the whole canonical franchise. the problem isn’t “it’s not canon” the problem is that you don’t allow yourself to let go of canon and enjoy the wonder of fan contents that are just as good / valid

koukane stuffs for @nsthebrotherangstguy & @hill-ll-p ! Minamoto Kou often spends his lunch breaks alone waiting for his elder brother to come and give him another task, exorcising supernaturals or the like. One day, Aoi Akane, seeing him sitting alone, joins him. It becomes a routine, Kou opening up slowly, eating lunches together ... but, after a while, Akane is surprised to find himself looking forward to hearing parts of Kou's day.

It really makes me sad when people try to defend a character so much that they just take away all their nuance 🥀

Like... It's not just with certain characters, but the two I see the most are Hanako and Teru (which I think makes sense, they're two sides of the same coin which I could write a whole thing about-)

It's like the fandom can't like one of the two without tearing down the other despite the parallels in their actions and morals.

With Teru, rather than explaining that there is a balance with his actions (his actions are understandable and not malicious from his own perspective, as that's how he was raised, but they aren't completely correct), they focus on emphasizing how awful other characters are in comparison (specially the supernaturals, which make sense— those are the ones Teru is against. Sometimes it's Kou which is strange to me though ngl 💔)

With Hanako, it's interesting. I see people tear down Teru especially, yes, but I see people more willing to explain away Hanako's actions through the lense of his own trauma and morals. He sacrifices Aoi for Yashiro because he's selfishly selfless— same with the picture perfect arc. Teru literally calls him out on this— he wants to do the dirty work so Yashiro doesn't have to.

Hanako stans defend Hanako through his trauma, Teru stans defend him through the missteps of other characters. I think it's more interesting when we combine the two personally, and apply it to all characters other than just one. Maybe I'm biased because I could write essays on just about every tbhk character but it makes me really sad when there's no nuance allowed for characters and they're either defended or demonized until they're a shell of themself 💔 🙏

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."

i think fiction should be abolished. if yo uwrite about a character dying you should be put on trial in real life for murder

101 #minamoto siblings would’ve been a better movie than the one about dotty dogs tbh.
