Oh Nothing, Just Fanart Of My Newest Obsession :D

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.

Tomoe and Nanami is Toxic as HECK

I know I’m really late to the party when it comes to this, but I feel like if no one else is gonna say it, I will. Nanami seriously deserves MUCH better than ANY of the male love interests in this series—ESPECIALLY Tomoe. Yep. She does. Sorry not sorry. At this point, I genuinely feel like all I'm doing is stating the utter obvious and I'm gonna lose it if anyone says otherwise.

Before we go any further, I wanna make it clear I haven’t read the manga for Kamisama Kiss, I’ve only watched the anime. So everything I am mentioning is going to be based on stuff that happens in the ANIME. I watched this when I was 12. And now as a 20 year old woman looking back on it eight years later, I can say with my whole front chest that Tomoe and Nanami are a terrifying asphalt of a couple. Tomoe is TERRIBLE love interest to the point where I think he's actually worse than Edward Cullen.

The OVA is something that deserves its own topic due to the APPARENT supposed ‘complexity’ that defenders of the ship will say is there (despite it being very clear what the truth actually was). But for the sake of not putting up with more bullcrap than I already have to by even mentioning the initial topic, I think there is one scene we can all agree that is absolutely NOT justifiable by any means—no matter how you look at it. Because some of us apparently don’t agree on the OVA, but I’m VERY sure we can all agree on this.

There’s an episode where Tomoe—pretending to be a male student at Nanami’s school—the emo black winged guy (can’t be bothered to remember his name because he’s literally another liability just like every other male character in this show—if not all of them) tells Tomoe to be cautious around Nanami because teenage girls tend to fall in love easily (I’m paraphrasing here, but you get the point).

Tomoe acts in denial about it and is like, “Pfft, not Nanami. She’s smarter than that.” Which, admittedly, would be a more wholesome moment if the following/previous context didn’t exist. Based on this alone, you probably know what I’m going to be talking about.

Nanami asks Tomoe out to the aquarium (not that he’s too aware of it being a date) and near the end of it, Nanami and Tomoe are on the rooftop of a building during the night. I know, soooo romantic (ugh). Tomoe then asks if Nanami is falling for him, to which Nanami confirms she is—much to the hypocritical chagrin of Tomoe (considering he marries her much later on in the series).

So what does Tomoe do since he doesn’t want to return her feelings? Does he calmly reject her? Does he explain it would be unprofessional? Does he at the very least say, “No.” and then leave with no closure? Newsflash, the answer to all of that is no because he then picks this 16 year old girl up with one arm, holds her on the open side, and WALKS ON THE OPEN EDGE OF THE BUILDING.

Nanami, obviously emotionally jumbled, starts questioning him and asking if he ever thought she was cute. During this ‘conversation,’ this piece of absolute SHIITAKE MUSHROOM then proceeds to DROP her.

“Oh, he dropped her on accident—” Yeah, but here’s the thing. It happened because this crazy turd was holding her near the edge of a building IN THE FREAKING FIRST PLACE. What sane person rejects someone’s feelings by HOLDING THEM on the EDGE of a 50 STORY BUILDING and then is surprised when they inevitably drop them?

Even if he DIDN’T, the fact he even DID IT at ALL tells me a LOT about who Tomoe is as a person. In what universe would this concept EVER fly? Would y’all be okay with this if it were a man were to actually do this to a woman and then his excuse was, “I didn’t mean to drop her?” BRUH, YOU WERE STILL HOLDING HER NEAR THE FREAKING LEDGE, WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?!

I don’t even blame Nanami for telling this man to screw off as she was falling because what the actual heck, bro. I wouldn’t want him to touch me, either. At this point, I legitimately would rather Tomoe not respond, jump off the building, and dip. He’d still be a horrible jerk for that, but at least he wouldn’t have HELD HER OVER A BUIL—

I don’t care what anyone says or any other things that happen later on. “Oh, it’s just fantasy, it’s just fiction.”

I can tell you one thing—if you fantasize or gain entertainment from the concept of a man throwing an innocent woman off a building after he rejects her, I don’t think you’re okay. Why would you want that?

Obviously with Kamisama Kiss being a supernatural series, of course there are some logistics that we throw out the window—like the fact that it was somehow okay for Tomoe to propose to Nanami when she was a kid (oh yeah, I didn’t forget that gross mess). But there are just some objective realities I feel CANNOT be ignored simply for the sake of plot. And the objective reality is that you are wrong if you think that a guy holding a girl off the ledge of a building is something that can be ignored.

I don’t expect stories or couples to be perfect. Nothing made from humans is ever going to be perfect. But you got me messed up if you think I’m gonna look past a guy grabbing a teenage girl like a wine barrel and holding her off the edge of a BUILDING.

I certainly felt that way when I was younger.

Being an old soul definitely has it's perks, but don't let an adult try to use it as an excuse for certain stuff. If a grown behind person tries to say, "You're so mature for your age" outside of a professional or decent context, RUN sis.

Who else feels older than their age?

She is an icon. She is a legend. And she IS the moment.

Forget "Would you love me if I was a worm?"

Hananene already answered the question of, "Would you love me if I was a fish?"

This actually helps so much, please marry me

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Friendly reminder that Kou took Mitsuba on a confirmed date

The fact that Mitsuba actually looks so happy about it at the end of the panel is so cute, I can't. And the fact that Kou actually listens to what Mitsuba likes---Kou is such a wholesome potato. Why did AidaIro have to make these two so loveable?

Listen, I enjoy Hanako as a character. I do.

But if someone were to offer me a job with the promise of acting as the 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 if 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 knows full well Yashiro would be against the stuff he does, that's why he doesn't tell her anything. 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?
