tbh im so happy that takaya decided to keep name kyo’s biological father unnamed. i live for it. fathers like him dont deserve sh!t

[lhatsuharu]

that is a very Valid point but i’d like to point out that  by not giving him a name she inadvertently forces us to either take the long route and  refer to him as that random dude kyo shares genetics with or to call him kyo’s father and he is /not/ kyo’s father. i would have like to just be able to call him joe

[lhatsuharu]

I’ve been waiting before posting this. I’ve been mostly away from this blog because of work and my studies since the beginning of the school year. Just as I thought I was getting on top of things my long time partner’s father passed away last week. It has been devastating and our lives are just beginning to go back to a semblance of normalcy.

I want to take a moment to thank Sophie @kyohrus, for her understanding, patience and grace as I was absent from the organization tasks at @furubasecretsanta. I hope I can start to be more active there in the following weeks.

Lastly, the current situation forces me to be on the lookout for a new mod for @incorrectfruitsbasket. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I will post an announcement there shortly, though.

4, 12, and 17! 😊

character you relate to most?

i think this has to be haru. I am year of the ox and I headcanon him having adhd like me (I explained it here), so I feel very closed to his character.

song that reminds you of the series (or character of your choosing)?

I think in memoriam by the oh hellos reminds me a lot of tohru’s relationship with most of the zodiac. (it’s also one of my favorite songs of all time)

[lhatsuharu]

Number 8 and 9 for the ask game!

favorite manga chapter?

Chapter 106! The one when Haru finds Rin and tells her to come home. I’ve re read that a million times and I have cried every single one of them. (Volume 18 is also my favorite volume by far)

favorite episode?

Haru’s intro bc i am mindless stan (literally cant wait until rin’s)

[lhatsuharu]

For the ask, 11, 12, 20

favorite canon ship?

by far haru and rin, I love them

favorite non-canon ship?

so many! hana and tohru, hana and uo, kagura and kunimitsu, momiji and tohru, yuki and kakeru... the list goes on

any hot takes (about a character, the series in general, the fandom, etc.)?

the series is flawed and discourse that points out those flaws is good. furuba veterans that constantly complain about discourse get on my nerves. let people talk about things that they are uncomfortable with. same with veterans policing other people’s headcanons about characters’ genders and sexualities.

[lhatsuharu]

favorite theme in the story?

I think this is the most cliché of answers but hope. In the end the story is about finding and spreading light and I can’t tell you how much I’ve needed to read that at certain points in my life!

[yunsoh]

[lhatsuharu]

yo i dont want to be too hopeful but since takaya said there is one more episode till the end of the season do you think maybe just maybe we will get a glance of my girl rin??

Okay so like. I’ve got a few things to say so I’ll probably break this post up into 2 parts. If you disagree with what I say that’s fine I can’t force y’all to have common sense but don’t bother arguing because I’ll just block you

Alright

1. A lot of us in the fandom currently were not new to fruits basket before the reboot began. A lot of us are adults who grew up with it and have come back to it now that the story is being done justice. Furuba veterans as we like to say. But because the series is being completely redone, there are kids who are just now discovering furuba due to it not being as relevant in the anime/manga fan spaces as they were growing up. A lot of new furuba fans are young and interacting with older furuba fans. This can be said about every fandom but seeing as this was already a once beloved series years ago I feel as if this especially applies to the furuba fanbase. All of this being said.

‘Furuba veterans’/Adults in the furuba fandom. Y’all have got to be careful with how you’re interacting with these new kids. Because from what I’ve seen it’s already becoming an issue. I had to DM someone who was 26 the other day and inform them that someone who they were going back and forth with asks about nsfw headcanons for kyo//ru, was 15 years old, and it said so in their description. The person profusely apologized, assured me that they had no clue and deleted the asks and I genuinely believe they just didn’t think to check, an honest mistake. But simple mistakes like that can 1. Expose minors to stuff that adults absolutely should not be exposing them to and 2. Get some of y’all in serious trouble no matter your intentions/knowledge. I’m not gonna name this person or put them on blast because they clearly were mistaken and immediately cut all contact with the kid, as one should. But this is only one of many examples of some of these older fans mindlessly discussing straight up p*rnographic materials with kids.

Be more careful.

2. Another messages to my fellow adult furuba fans. STOP treating the series as if it is absolutely immune to any sort of criticism, and yes, that includes criticisms from people who have never watched the series, read the manga, criticisms coming from people who are straight up uncomfortable with furuba as a series. People are allowed to dislike furuba because of the pedophilic and abusive relationships that are romanticized.

A lot of the people who y’all insist on arguing with are minors who are uncomfortable with those types of relationships being portrayed as okay. I don’t think I need to tell you why a grown person going out of their way to tell someone in their teens that they’re wrong to be uncomfortable with a pedophilic relationship being portrayed as romantic, is fucking weird. Furuba has its issues and people are allowed to acknowledge them. Hell, I would never recommend furuba to someone without warning them of these types of themes being prevalent because god knows I had no clue when I first went in and was super grossed out.

Stop telling kids they shouldn’t be uncomfortable with these dynamics or I will personally break your kneecaps. No matter your intentions it looks downright predatory. Get it together.

Okay I’m done

[lhatsuharu]

okay but picture this… once tohru & co graduate haru and momiji adopt machi like no questions asked

[lhatsuharu]

they have met a couple of times during the summer and she loves momiji’s bunny backpack and harus penchant for absolutely trashing things when he goes black but she thinks that’s it we might say hi if we run into each other in the hallway cool. and then momiji just goes full on we are best friends now i dont care what you think about it

and it works because momiji keeps the group lively and fun and he and machi both love bunnies and mogeta. and haru’s collected and more aloof personality is a natural fit for machi’s. also they both have vandalizing school property as a hobby and trust me that brings people together

what I am trying to say is that those three become best friends and get into all kind of shenanigans and  have lots of fun
