Natsume: It seems that another small mirror was hidden behind the mirror. Natori: ….

[ID: 10 stills from the anime “Natsume’s Book of Friends” featuring the character Natori Shuuichi with tumblr text posts edited in.
Image 1: Natori takes off his hat as roses and sparkles appear around him. Text post by ReallyReallyReallyTrying reads "i would say what draws people to me is my universal appeal. and what keeps them coming back is my timeless elegance"
Image 2: On the phone with Touko, Natori puts his head in his hands and sweat-drops. Text post by mircalla reads "you should be able to say “line” if you don’t know what to say in a social situation"
Image 3: Teen Natori grabs hold of a disembodied arm with a corrupted aura. Text post by MacbethHeadband reads "Right click -> save as -> ancient curse"
Image 4: Natori, chin in hand, asks Natsume to come to the hot springs. Text post by greelin reads "[guy who genuinely fucking loathes himself voice] well on account of my charming and endearing nature. Of course"
Image 5: Natori runs his fingers through his costar's hair as he ignores her invitation to dinner. Text post by she2real reads "step 1: get sexy / step 2: let no one hit"
Image 6: Teen Natori glares slightly as he prepares to reject a girl trying to confess to him. Text post by RomanceYourDemons reads "so much love for characters who are desperately unsure whether they’re a good person, a redeemable person, a person worth saving, but are absolutely certain that they’re a grade a hottie"
Image 7: Natori smiles blithely while discussing the cursed voicemails other exorcists are sending him. Text post by dilophosaurid reads "You guys keep sending people to assassinate me like lmao youre literally so obsessed with me its embarassing…"
Image 8: Natori smiles while accepting a bouquet from his costar. Text post by FoxGraves reads "no offense but i'm literally starving for affection but when people give it to me i can't accept it as valid because i'm worried i've manipulated their perception of me by only portraying myself a certain way and feeling like this portrayal of myself is an imposter and makes me disingenuous and not deserving of the affection they give me."
Image 9: Natori stands in the corner facing the wall. Text post by vilea777 reads "sorry i cant hang out i forgot how to mimic human like behaviour". Natsume is behind him in the center of the room with a text post by 6qubed next to him which reads "I mean if you wanna just loom in the corner like some kinda creature that’s cool, we just don’t want you getting left out"
Image 10: Natori laughs and waves his hand in unconcern while talking about the gecko youkai. Text post by czesca reads "characters who are so inauthentic. characters who only show what they want other people to see of them. characters who simply must have control over every part of themselves. do you even get it"
/end ID]
BONUS: live old man reaction!
[ID: Still of Yorishima glaring down at Natori for trespassing on his land. Text post by super-nova5045 reads "and just when you think you’re at your absolute lowest a blonde motherfucker comes along and makes everything so much worse" /end ID]
natori shuuichi: well i myself am unlovable and only bring disaster to those close to me so i will self-isolate and create a fake persona that people can love from afar. problem solved 👍
natsuyuu characters as text posts 5/?

[image description: younger nanase wears a frock coat with black lace cravat, cuffs and other embellishments; the matoba siblings (as schoolkids) look on, shinobu particularly starry-eyed]
thanks again to @reittu, this time for the idea of young goth nanase..! went with elegant gothic aristocrat(-ish??) style instead of EGL since nanase is often in suits or neutral wafuku during canon
i do have thoughts on nanase and shinobu and gender presentation/conformity but i'm putting them under a cut (not sure if they align with yours, sorry)
omg... thank you so much again, she looks AMAZING and i love that her face is actually recognizable so you can tell it's her even in this non-canon outfit! and said outfit is gorgeous and suits her so much ♡
i kinda didn't expect you'd do this one since it's just a headcanon and not even really about the hexorcists, so I'm really happy to see this!
thank you for sharing your thoughts on this as well, and in fact i agree that shinobu seems to have embraced the goth style as her first introduction to nonconformity in general, and then embraced gender-nonconformity specifically after leaving the clan. (hope i got your point right.) it even aligns with the canon, as younger shinobu's goth style wasn't GNC (dresses, long hair).
in my head nanase actually influenced both of these phases of shinobu's, since the whole "masc suit look" is nanase's thing. it's also always felt corporate goth to me because she always wears black. and then midorikawa gave us goth shinobu (and seiji) and i connected the dots.
speaking of seiji, i imagine he was first influenced by his big sis dressing goth. i feel like he was too small atm to be influenced directly by nanase at that age, but he looked up to his sister so he copied her. then, as he got older, he started doing that more consciously, and both shinobu and nanase became his examples for being GNC and generally unapologetically yourself.
[image description: taki and matoba have tea and cake at a cafe, surrounded by natori merch. matoba expounds at length on natori's current career trajectory]
many thanks to @reittu for the idea of taki and matoba natori-fan solidarity! (i decided to spare poor natsume this time)
i love love this so much, thank you!! it's so cute and funny and it really made me happy :)
love the details as always. sad idol movie lol. the golden roses. the acrylic stand. the infamous life-size cardboard cutout!
i especially love that matoba is giving a whole ted talk about natori's movies. he totally has a tumblr/twitter where he writes deep essays about everything natori churns out.
and taki was shown lending "unloved" to sasada in the anime, so she could be a natori fan. she has so much in common with matoba that I'm totally imagining them meeting for tea to talk about cats, exorcism and natori shuuichi.
La plantilla NO ES MIA (no oude encontrar al usuario),pero medio risa
Bro Natori needs no wet shirt to be sopping wet 😭😭
He's a wet cat man as it is
new natori art from Lala magazine august issue's "polaraid of 6 handsome guys dripping water" (literally the title of the special bonus i am not joking)
first of a two-part fill for a delightful prompt (thanks anon!!) that i'm just going to quote as the image description:
"what about Matoba's indecently-sized collection of Natori merch? For example what if Natsume wandered into his room while trying to get out of that Matoba mansion only to see it being basically a Natori temple and goes What The Fuck……."
[to be continued]
#this made my day #thank you so much!! (i was the anon) ugly cackling at matoba's pic taped to the poster and nyanko's remark #i love the idea of natori's albums being pink. i wonder if they also have shiny golden lettering and embossed roses on them #for that immaculate obnoxious vibe y'know #matoba spends clan funds pre-ordering the whole batch of natori's limited edition red velvet box set #(ticket to an exclusive fansign included). (x)
thanks again for the prompt!! (and for catching the detail of matoba's picture taped to the poster ahaha)
natori totally has over-the-top extra shiny special edition releases of each album, yes!! screaming at the idea of matoba arriving at a fansign............ does he turn up in a suit?? in that hoodie?? in one of his multiple ~natori shuuichi~ merch t-shirts?? what do natori's fans think omg
It's totally a Natori movie tshirt like those Titanic tshirts they sold in the 90s.
And his fans don't know about it since Matoba's the only person at that event because he'd bought each and every limited edition boxset with the fansign ticket 😭
you're so right. peak natori fan fashion
omg i failed to realise the genius of your original tags... matoba turning the exclusive fansign into a truly ~exclusive one, i'm dead (so is natori)
Yes because what do you mean there will be other fans. Shaking Shuuichi-san's hand. Taking pictures with him. Looking into his eyes? Inadmissible.
And that was the single most traumatic moment in Natori Shuuichi's life. His sad lonely childhood doesn't even come close. (He has to smile and sign dozens of his album copies Matoba's brought along even as he glares at him. Matoba /_^'s happily.)
i'm weeping. thank you for this entire thread, please have this as a sign of my gratitude
THIS IS THE FAN ART EVER JSASDAJF
I can't stop staring at this. The stacked albums. The light stick. The (theatrical premiere limited VIP edition) promotional movie tshirt (yes Natori's co-star lady fuck YOU in particular). This makes me so happy, thank you so much ;'DD
(And don't worry, I know nothing about jpop culture either)
Now I wonder if it'd be OOC for Natori to sign every copy with "hope you stub your toe on your Meiji era lacquered mahogany cabinet.
Natori Shuuichi"

- Ray, 30 y.o., he/him; chronically ill; aroace
- Mostly Natsume Yuujinchou; occasionally reblogging whatever I like
- Blog name is pronounced "rayt-two"
- I wish Natori had his own spinoff series because he's one of the characters ever
- I have no ships but I can make shippy jokes because it's fun
- Feel free to talk to me about natsuyuu in PM, unless it's about a specific ship (I don't mind but I don't ship, so I wouldn't really have anything to say anyway)
- Feel free to interact with me in tags/comments too!
love and peace on planet earth
