I haven't been on here in almost half a year, but I just couldn't miss BH6's 10th anniversary, even if I'm technically late (it's still November 7th somewhere in the world, right?)

The gifset ended up being a lot more grief-oriented than I originally planned, but as I was trying to look for moments to gif... those are just the ones that stood out to me and I decided to roll with it, because at the end of the day that's what BH6 means to me.

I've loved BH6 many years before I lost my mother, but I also think that's why I latched onto it's theme of grief so hard once my mother passed. I already loved this movie, so it already had it's arms open wide to welcome me as a coping mechanism.

I hope my gifset's not too much of a bummer, but grief has always been my fave theme in BH6 and since it's gotten personal 3.5 years ago, I doubt that's gonna change any time soon.

Still not sure when I'll be able to properly return to this blog, so many other fandoms and some irl stuff are constantly keeping me busy, but just know my love for BH6 is still strong. It's still one of my top fave Disney movies and shaped so much of my life back in 2014, which I unironically consider one of the happiest years of my life and BH6 definitely added to why.

Guys, I love this franchise so much. With the series coming to an end, I just want to express how amazing these characters were. They’ll stick with me well into the future.

Anyway, here’s a link to my nerd-writing. Sending every last one of y’all good vibes. 💙💥

i can't even look at platonic hamabros stuff w/o worrying the op is actually a h///id//@sh! shipper. i hate you demons

i respectfully disagree...

I don't have to explain my reasons, as I know this will just spark another discourse where both parties will get upset.

But the one thing I heavily disagree on is the thing that you say that "tadashi did not have to die" is the literal worst take in Big Hero 6. I agree with Grace Randolph's review, it did not feel genuine, it was just tragedy for tragedy's sake.

The way Tadashi went out was too OOC, leaving Hiro near the vicinity of the fire? Mr. Tadashi "I will literally try to bail my brother out of jail even if it lands me in jail" Hamada leaving his brother near the vicinity of the fire to save someone else.

There's no question about Tadashi's hero complex, but the 1st 20 mins showed that his priority was always Hiro then he suddenly leave him near the fire? I would have believed it had he first ascertain Hiro's safety before going inside.

Okay, but using this argument you're still clearly missing the point. HOW Tadashi died is one thing, I often also wish it was handled a bit differently and would've LOVED if his death was more related to protecting Hiro (god, the theories we had before the movie came out...)

But that's still missing the entire point of Tadashi BEING dead serving a purpose. I swear, 9 out of 10 times people only complain about Tadashi being dead in general and not how he died, so my point still stands.

Or just the plain fact that people never think clearly or act "in character" when faced with a crisis out of nowhere (trust me, whatever you think you'd do in Tadashi's situation, you will for a fact NOT do it). Or the fact A LOT of people die in ways we wouldn't expect. If you only care about someone's death if they died "the right way" then I really don't know what to tell you...

And true, Tadashi tried to help Hiro whenever he could, but a lot of people forget Tadashi had a legit life outside of Hiro and Callaghan was part of that life (unlike Hiro who's world was pretty limited to Tadashi and his home life... and maybe bot-fighting if you wanted to stretch it).

In the movie we see Tadashi from Hiro's POV and the series goes a little into this. How even Hiro didn't know "the real Tadashi" because he always tried to be perfect for Hiro's sake. So I'm sorry, but it's totally not beyond me to believe he would "prioritize" Callaghan who's in danger (to his knowledge) over Hiro who was safely outside the building at that point.

Sorry if I sound heated, but that's because I am... Grief is an extremely sensitive topic for me.

I don’t know if the writers ever planned this, but they couldn’t do it because of the show being cut short or if they just never considered going down that road in the first place, but... canonically speaking, Hiro never cleared out Tadashi’s side of the room, even after at least a whole year passed.

Hi! Can I ask yet one thing? I found this picture on some site and I guess this is from some Big hero 6 book? Anyway, remember when I asked you about that "What were you thinking, knucklehead?" that was it mean and insulting/offensive and you said no, which I'm glad, but however, now there is another "knucklehead" and now there is "no need to insult" (in the movie Hiro did botfighting which was dangerous and illegal and it was understandable that Tadashi was mad (but still it doesn't mean that you can insult someone but you said that Tadashi didn't insult Hiro)) but what I try to say is, is that I accept "better" if there is some "need" to "insult" like in the movie there definetly was but not on everyday basis. Why Tadashi do that? Tadashi doesn't seem like a person who wants to insult Hiro or being mean, he made a kind robot afterall. And I don't remember have I talked to you this but why I have this "crisis" about Tadashi is because I don't have any siblings and I view Tadashi as my "big brother" same like Anna and Elsa from movie Frozen are my sisters.

So if I don't bother you, could you answer this, please? Thank you really much!

This is definitely just regular sibling teasing.

I have a big sister and the name-calling Hiro and Tadashi do to each other is literally nothing compared to the kind of fighting me and my sister used to get into when we were younger.

And the way Hiro phrases "Tadashi calls ME knucklehead" kinda implies Hiro thinks of Tadashi as a knucklehead too (and possibly called him that at times, though Hiro seems to prefer calling him "nerd" instead).

Siblings have a pretty unique kind of relationship, being friends one second and enemies the next, so I can imagine it might be hard to understand if you're an only child.
