[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/?
these are super old but i might as well show these... they became so mature and sophisticated but then i remember theyre still so young like ! you can still be whimsical !!!
Decided to try the paprika trend while it's still somewhat popular
hey! if you're still accepting prompts, how about Natsume being exposed to teen!hexorcists for any reason (from deaging to time travel)?
anon, i just want to say that this idea is super compelling and i kind of want to write serious fic about it after hexfest..!! i think teen-natori's prickly vulnerability might surprise natsume, and seeing matoba as a teen could humanise him further in natsume's eyes
but in the meantime please accept this:
[image series description: in the background, bewildered natsume looks on as 1) teen natori and matoba emerge from under a table, 2) teen matoba slaps a talisman on teen natori's forehead, 3) teen matoba calls teen natori "shuuichi-san~♥"]
:)
[ID: digital drawing of natori and matoba in a muted, limited palette. natori is in a dressed-down suit with his hair gelled back. he is looking off camera and smiling nervously. he is holding an umbrella in such a way that obscures most of matoba's face, who is standing very close beside him, with one hand wrapped around the arm holding the umbrella. matoba is in wafuku, and all that can be seen of his face is a smile, which is cast in shadow. natori appears to have a hickey. end ID.]
I was thinking a lot about how their friendship probs changed thru the years, i feel like they were closest while Shuuichi was still in HS and things probs changed as Shinobu defected and Shuuichi started acting, they probs slowly stopped seeing each other as much and distance grew. Something (like a big break) probably happened soon after this, but I love the thought of Matoba slowly growing his hair (bittersweet since its him preparing to take over the clan, and its necessity not choice), Shuuichi figuring out wtf is gonna happen in his life, yet still both teasing each other (with an air of tension and judgement as their paths diverge.)
Happy hexfest! (Theyre the same age for exactly 11 days <3)
