I'm sorry but when you had Hiei say "nothing that cold deserves to taste that good" or however you worded it, it killed me. Just killed me. I can't stop thinking about it. Ouch all over my feels.

That’s basically the quote, yes!

“I don’t care for ice cream, anyway. Nothing that cold has the right to taste good,” Hiei says to Keiko, slouching quite slouchily in his cloak when she offers him the frozen treat—and with that, we finally get the chance to explore a head-canon of mine I’ve been kicking around for a good long while. Now that I’ve finally released chapter 69 of Lucky Child (heh heh heh… 69, amiright?) I can talk about it! (Yes, this is one of those Asks that I run away with; sorry, Anon!)

My head-canon is… I think Hiei would dislike ice cream.

… random, I know. Let me explain why I even have this head-canon in the first place.

I was first introduced to YYH when I was 11, during the show’s initial run on Toonami, and to the broader YYH fandom not long after. We were in the grip of Hiei and “sweet snow” at the time. The trope has calmed down a bit since then, but back then it was in its heyday. I have no idea where it first came from; all I know is that it was utterly ubiquitous and unavoidable at the time, appearing in basically all Hiei fics, and you still see it in the fandom to this day.

For those not in the know, most fics used to have a “sweet snow” scene in them that followed a pretty specific format. I myself probably wrote about five versions of it, so I’m not coming after anyone in particular when I describe it. It went like this:

The hour is late. Hiei walks into a kitchen, typically the kitchen at Genkai’s temple while the gang is staying there during a Spirit World mission. Someone (a canon character or, perhaps, a female OC) is eating ice cream in their pajamas. (Bonus: This person is usually Hiei’s love interest.) Hiei has never seen ice cream before. He has never heard of it. He scoffs when he is offered a bite, but upon taking a taste, his eyes widen. His guard drops. “It’s… it’s sweet snow!” he exclaims, because he doesn’t have other words to describe it, and his hard exterior melts like a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in July. He hoards the ice cream while his love interest giggles at his naiveté, tickled at how this hardened warrior could be so sweet and innocent beneath his gruff exterior.

I have no idea where this scene came from or who started it, but it’s a trope now, and you see it reproduced in various ways over and over again in this fandom. And I understand the purpose and utility of it. It shows a gruff, sometimes rude character being vulnerable and sweet and cute, providing a shortcut to character development (sort of) or at least a peek into what might lie beneath his layers of tsundere armor and forced detachment. It shows his lack of knowledge of Human World concepts and his ability to be something other than a hardened warrior.

The thing is… I don’t know if I buy it.

In fact, I don’t buy it, even though I used to write it constantly.

Canon established that Hiei’s memories began before he was even born, while in utero. He remembers vividly the world of ice, of being hated and discarded by creatures born of that cold substance. It’s unlikely he has any positive associations with chill, in that case, even if he cares for his ice-born sister, Yukina. I don’t think she alone could undo his negative feelings about ice and cold (especially considering she’s later revealed to share these feelings about the Koorime). Hiei would likely associate ice with metaphorical bitterness—so when confronted with something that is cold and literally sweet, I don’t think he’d take kindly to it. I think he’d be resentful of ice cream, of its flagrant defiance of his expectations, and turn up his nose whenever it’s offered.

Nothing that cold has the right to taste that good.

If he does internally think ice cream tastes nice, he’ll never admit it aloud. And if he ever eats it, it’ll be while he’s alone, out of view of others, and he’ll probably hate himself just a little for being weak enough to indulge (which is a heartbreaking one-shot idea in its own right; we’ll see if I ever write it).

Thus, “sweet snow” and Hiei… I just don’t see it, I’m sorry to say. And that breaks my little fandom heart because “sweet snow” is a fandom trope I’ve been writing since I was 12, but I don’t think I can do it anymore. ಥ_ಥ

Thanks for letting me run away with your Ask, Anon, and apologies for your bruised feels! Sorry if this made it worse. -_-;
