i dont think tobirama ever conceptualized what Hashirama felt and what he himself did the way hashirama did even as edo,
but its aparrent that hashirama regards him as wife - a Japanese wife, as in one with him, and Tobirama acts like that without knowing. You can see it in text (not even subtext) in canon. Its both cute and sad. 'you kids learn the will of life lol' "kids that are like anija are good kids"
and Hashirama was weird himself…in which he doesnt conceptualize love the conventional way either
he shows it with actions and private gestures
even the "kids" act like that…hiruzen said "we follow shodai-sama's ideals and his village" "it was shodai's forbidden scroll"
when Hashirama said "my AND Madaras village" and then "my village", fans had said its weird that we would find out tobirama built that whole shit later . Why wasnt he included or credited. And misunderstood hashi as terrible brother
Me : bc Hashirama treated him…as a part of himself. He belongs to him already.
"My AND Madara's" bc Madara is bro/friend and is his own person
I don’t think Hashi…noticed he was doing that
Or better said he doesn’t realize how it appears to others because it’s such a fact of life for him
It was easier when they were just in their clan as eldest and younger brother. Theres a clearer … definition of superior and inferior, younger siblings might as well be elders subordinates, so what's difference to wife, which neither cared much anyway they were close and comfortable w each other.
So this tendency of tobirama just doing and saying what he wants and needs to in his self assigned mission for the village/people continues into his hokageship where theres no longer that distinction in real time. And whenever theres disagreement, hashi no longer realized how it would look to others if he showed his objection or said no with violence
he has control problems lol
But the…public dismissal makes all sense from OLD SCHOOL cultural standpoint
wife should be seen and not heard, bound as one with hubby
this is a shifting era too
he might have resent that tobirama couldnt JUST be a good natured obedient brother if not wife
he couldnt…compute Tobirama being wife AND a new era leader, because and just like he couldnt lead the new era world he himself created
Theres also worrying his head off about Tobiramas disability and ,when he was alive, illness. and letting the messy feelings get over him
Whats more Tobirama too autistic to point out whats wrong about it and just resigned used to it. It continued for years straight into edo.
It came natural for him that tobirama is a part of himself, everything thats his is Tobiramas bc tobirama is his. nobody wants to think hes a bad brother to tobirama, bc its WEIRD the way he skewered or dismissed him only in public lol
Turns out he was technically one.
