✩ fanart (sometimes) || wbk + genshin 04 • she/her

[ruinsofphaidie]

not sure when it started but i've completely stopped perceiving time normally. there's wbk day, the day after wbk day, the long dark stretch before wbk day, and then wbk day again

[wickedwonderbread]

I don’t think Suo’s arc is going to be about Sakura learning to deal with loss, not in the sense of Suo never coming back. If he wasn’t coming back, I don’t think we would have gotten that line in the classroom about how quiet it feels without BOTH Suo and Sakura there.

that said… I think it’s going to end up being about trust. Sakura has lost trust in Suo, the foundation of their friendship is shaken and cracked. Suo has been shown to trust Sakura and the others but only so much and not fully. I think this arc is gonna be the cumulation of Sakura learning to rebuild trust when it’s broken/shaken and Suo realizing he can trust others fully.

these are just my observations and thoughts.

[straylaughs]

suo brought up how they haven't even known him for a year, which is a fair enough point to make. because in the grand scheme of things, that's not a very large amount of time

it really has only been a semester + a month or so. which is a solid 6-7 months (give or take)

and it has only been 6-7 months that sakura has had people around him who care about him. out of the 15 years of his life

i just feel that some people need to keep this in mind

[straylaughs]

will nirei, sugishita, and momijikawa find sakura at home?

yes, he's still processing everything

no, he's on his way to bkk-g as we speak

Remaining time: 6 days 2 hours

some things of note to help you decide:

yes - the panel we end off with in ch 217 doesn't actually show sakura's face, could that be intentional on niisato's part? sakura also knows endo would take him there, even at an unreasonable time of day..

no - sugi wanting to come with momi and nirei seemed pretty significant, so would it make sense for them not to find him once they get there? only a night has passed since hearing the news, would sakura really decide that quickly to go after suo?

[peachsori]

this whole time, sakura doesn't even know that the reason suo dipped without saying anything to him (or even About him for that matter) is because he's the one thing that could crumble his resolve.

sweet little darling, i know it won't help with the pain right now but you weren't wrong to think you guys were connected heart to heart. suo himself felt it so strongly he had to pull the sharpest, most abrupt bandaid-ripoff the world has ever seen.

[hiragitoma]

It's crazy that the boy who thought jumping off a bridge into ditch water was a good way to ask someone to fight him was the only one who was like "well I guess I'll just go to where he lives and check up on him." Suo really did have the only common sense brain cell of that class.

[biathediamond]

you know while i still stand by my earlier post about how i hope this arc ends with suo finally getting the breakdown he deserves i think it might actually be more fulfilling narrative-wise if this is the arc where sakura finally gets the breakdown he deserves. let the child loudly express an emotion other than defensive anger.

[cafe-pothos]

"You can ask me to go anywhere anytime as long as I get to see you, Sakura"

Okay so how about Bankoku-gai

[goatedgreen]

^ see i made this stupid ass post a year ago and never has it been more relevant. like literally what the fuck is the morality of the red chanpuru . seems organised but what the FUCK is their actual deal

[straylaughs]

sakura's suffering is probably amplified by a million because he's also the guy who said this

[everysuosaku]

@peachsori had it on the money. "sakura has never known a suo who rejects him."

[jacaranda-moss]

so im screaming cuz what the hell is this panel-

the threads of their bodies intertwining together ?? and we know that the threads are like used for meaning feelings/emotions, with the text of connecting heart to heart too excuse me ??

HOW DID NII SENSEI MAKE THIS PANEL GAYER WORSE

[nicornudo13]

exact same panel i'm crying

[straylaughs]

you see. i was wondering when we'd see someone trip over those big ass tree roots on the roof

[littencloud9]

“hole in the heart” is this a great time to call back to this panel

[goatedgreen]

the wbk fandom, getting exactly what they wanted: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

[straylaughs]

okay sorry i need to talk about this panel again actually

i love that this looks like there are threads connecting the two of them.. that both of them are cut from the same cloth (which aligns with what kotoha says about suo being someone sakura could connect with)
