Idk if it's been said here but I really not a fan of Haru

[hornedhope]

Els is always, always very careful to watch Bill around other herbivores. It’s not because she doesn’t trust him, but because he’s a very large tiger, and Els knows that anything Bill does can be interpreted as threatening. 

Bill gets excited easily, and when he does, he is energetic and often waves his arms around, talks loudly, and bares his teeth. It’s never bothered Els, but she knows it will bother others, And Els hates it, because she believes Bill has the right to be himself just like anyone else. 

So whenever a herbivore looks at Bill ugly, or even slightly frightened because Bill dares to be a happy carnivore, Els is absolutely mean mugging them. She’s the one they don’t want to mess with.

I headcanon Riz to be an extremely anxious individual, and his anxiety is so bad it keeps him from leaving the house often. So he stays home and cooks, and makes a small business by selling pastries and cookies. 

Tem is the one who actually goes out and has a normal 9-5. Occasionally he also delivers Riz’s orders for him.

Riz’s struggle with maintaining his medication yet being mandated to continue it despite the painful effects it had on him is just a very uncomfortable reminder about people being forced to take meds that harm them. 

Like I take meds, and i’ve had different experiences with them both, and I can’t imagine having to be forced to take a government mandated drug against my will, a drug that doesn’t even work. 

The bears should unionize. 

It could have been a great storyline about the negative effects of forced medication, and ideally it would have been nice to see Tem and Riz bond over Riz trying to live and navigate his life without his meds, or finding an alternative. Riz going batshit insane when off of them makes total sense, and while Riz is at fault for what he did to Tem, so is the entire damn society.

If anything, I’m grateful the new season is giving us varied view of Haru as a character, because I think she has many flaws and can be borderline toxic to Leogshi, and it’s nice to see others noticing that too, and being allowed to talk about it.

Even though cats don't like water, I headcanon Ibuki loves it. Whenever he gets by water, he can't help but jump into it.

[hornedhope]

I headcanon Oguma and Ibuki always get their glasses mixed up when they wake up. Oguma wakes up really early and usually grabs the first glasses he sees, and doesn’t realized he’s wearing the wrong ones until he’s out of the house. 

Ibuki realizes he’s wearing the wrong glasses when they’re too small for his head.

i can’t believe ibuki got us all to like him and then orchestrated his death like that

(small wip i’m working on. Louis and Ibuki are not together, they have a father-son relationship)

Try as he may to ignore it, Louis is still a herbivore. And his body reacts accordingly to the many carnivores in his life. 

Ibuki

Despite all his time living amongst the Shishigumi, and now Ibuki at his estate in the city, nothing will ever compare to the sudden fear induced reaction to bolt out of the room when Ibuki yawns, the toothy action often accompanied by a deep, deep roar. 

Louis can see his entire life reflected on those pearly incisors, and imagine the ways his flesh could grate against Ibuki’s razor sharp tongue. It’s a timely reminder every morning that Ibuki is a carnivore. 

The life of domesticity with Oguma often makes it hard for Louis to consider him as such, and when he’s laying asleep in the bed or engrossed in Oguma’s extensive library, it’s hard to remember that he is a lion. 

The way his lips pull back, revealing a thin stretch of burned skin that borders his teeth, the action an inherent snarl, sends shivers down Louis’s spine. Even Ibuki’s claws seem to come alive in the morning, his sharp talons increasing in size before retracting back into his fingers. 

Louis is still, instincts surging through him. He wonders how Oguma does it every morning. 

“Louis, are you alright?” And like the final close of a curtain, Ibuki’s features fade into darkness, the soft and gentle smile shining through the void. 

Louis’s ears relax and his body melts like butter to a flame.

“Nothing, just lost in thought.” And he isn’t lying.

YOU KNOW, louis wouldn’t tell jack that his antlers shed every so often so he’d just prank jack and run into jack’s room telling him he got into a bad accident and his head was splitting open. they’d both be screaming so much jack would be panicking and midway louis would start to feel bad lmao. 

he’d have to pull jack into a hug when he realizes he over acted his part lol

In reference to my post about the harmful stereotypes that carnivores go through and how it has real world allusions to discrimination, I think this makes Juno’s conception more interesting (as well as female carnivores in general). Female carnivores have their femininity stripped from them. Whereas female herbivores are constantly allowed to be feminine. 

And of course when female carnivores are allowed to be feminine, it is always eclipsed by the fact they are dangerous carnivores, just like their male counterparts. In a sense, to be a female carnivore is to be denied femininity. 

That’s an experience darker skinned women of color often have, in juxtaposition to their lighter counterparts. 

I would have loved if femininity from the perspective of Juno and others like her was more deeply explored. 

However I wouldn’t think Paru would do a good job at it, considering that’s not her lived experience, and that she clearly has a bias for female herbivores.

Louis would be the person to conveniently forget to tell Legosi that his antlers fall off, and trick Legosi into scratching them and watch Legosi’s horrified face as they came off.

I think if Beastars draws experiences from the real world in reference to Asian women and how they navigate through society, and how this encompasses the herbivore experience, it's also important imo to draw attention to the somewhat harmful, real stereotypes that can be drawn from the experiences of the carnivores. 

The dangerous, prone to attach, inherently dangerous rhetoric has been used to stir discriminiatory policies and beliefs against people of color outside of Japan, namely darker skinned people.

Some of these beliefs are anti-black, which is concerning considering that there is anti-blackness in Asian communities. 

This is why I find it interesting that it’s based on Zootopia, which sought to free individuals from harmful, clearly racist stereotypes, yet Beastars keeps them, and takes it a step further with introducing eugenics (ie: the dogs). 

On top of that, in regard to class & social standing, carnivores are at the bottom and often in poverty. On top of that, carnivores are also overly policed. 

 That’s common with certain groups, especially black people (but also other groups). 

Not only can carnivores not move up socially, it is incredibly hard for them to move up financially. 

So combined with the belief of them being inherently dangerous, having no social mobility, being policed, and having society tell herbivores to stay away from them, it’s easy to make those connections of other kinds of discriminations.

This is why Legosi’s narrative is really painful, because he’s hating himself for a lot of what society has to do with him.  There’s his instincts, but then there’s the idea that society projects on him that he’s inherently dangerous when we know that no, not all carnivores are inherently dangerous just like not all herbivores are inherently safe. 

Literally if that was the case, the Oguma wouldn’t be a character. 

Anyway this is why Louis is such a great character in Legosi’s narrative, because he truly does accept Legosi as a carnivore. What’s also important is that Louis acknowledges and recognizes his own prejudices against carnivores, and helps Legosi accept himself as a carnivore. 

We don’t get to see many herbivore characters actually confronting their own prejudices, which is nice with Louis’s character.
