reminder that if you back tsuna into a corner he

A) sends you right back into the worst prison for mafia criminals you just escaped from, but even worse than before (enjoy being unconscious and tied up in your one room swimming pool for the next 10 years)

B) freezes you with flames burning so hot they turned into ice (< this isn't how the zero point breakthrough is explained in canon but it's the more dramatic explanation), fully knowing you were already frozen by similar ones for 8 years until, like, a month prior

C) burns you fucking alive and also undoes the last 10 years of your existence across all existing timelines. also he won't think anything about it afterwards ever (?????? like. it's not that he didn't deserve it, to be clear, but damn. 😭😭😭 middle schoolers when you just want to take over the world(s) for a bit, smdh 🙄)

D) is willing to become the boss of the most powerful mafia family in the world with a bloodstained history if it means getting the opportunity to get his hands on you and kill you beat the shit out of you. but you're lucky he likes you so you could stay on very thin ice long enough for both of you to clear things up

E) gangs up against you with all the current and future strongest people in the world, and then punches you so hard he makes you see the light of doing the right thing despite your centuries years old deep rooted hatred which singlehandedly kept you alive as an undead person

also reminder he did all that while he was only 14 years old. this is all things he did in less than a year.

this is tsuna's resume during the course of less than a year of proper mafia business.

so, you know. the next time he goes "i just want my friends and i to be safe and happy and live in peace. 🥺🥺🥺 please don't make me fight you to make it happen? 👉🏽👈🏽🥺👉🏽👈🏽🥺👉🏽👈🏽🥺"

just maybe, consider listening to him

It's kind of funny xanxus woke up from 8 years being stuck in a freezer because he attempted and failed a coup, and then went right back to attempting another one. Like, i believe one of the novels says the whole varia arc happens only a month or so after he got freed from the zero point breakthrough? My guy really was like "this time it'll work, trust". (And then the varia DID trust again lmao. Maybe sometimes blind loyalty and devotion and faith isn't the solution guys. 😔 Maybe sometimes it makes everything worse. 💔 But at least they do have that going on for them i guess.) Also he tried it worse than before by feeding his ill, old not-blood-related-dad to a robot, fully intending for him to not make it out of it alive, and replacing him by a fake in the meantime.

Like. Okay, his daddy issues ARE obviously that bad, but the vongola's throne can't be that fucking comfy. Can we just go into a store and buy a ring for yourself if you want it that badly. (I DO know he does, which is the whole problem, isn't it.) Can we take a moment to sit with the trauma of having been stuck in a freezer for 8 years. (But then again, i totally get how he'd rather do anything else.) Can we reflect on how maybe a coup wasn't the way to go about it in the first place.

AND THEN he failed that coup AGAIN. 😭 ALSO worse than before, because where before it was at least the mafia boss of all mafia bosses who stopped him, this time it's this 14 years old civilian boy with only a year and a half of mafia training to rely on that beat his ass. And also he didn't even care about his plight through the whole thing. He was like "can you please stop hurting my friends? I don't even want these rings, i would have gladly given them to you if you just had asked nicely, so can you PLEASE stop hurting my friends??" And when that didn't work he was like "well okay, 8 years clearly wasn't enough. Let's try this again and maybe you'll cool down for good this time *freezes his ass again*". (There's something so wrong with you tsuna, i love you. <3)

Wait because i'm typing this, and i'm realizing their dynamic is really fucking funny actually. Like, it's basically a one-sided beef from xanxus. Like, all the reasons xanxus hates tsuna for (during the varia arc at least) are all circumstantial. It's all because of choices other people did about tsuna, but he, himself, hasn't done a single thing wrong to xanxus (obviously). Like, tsuna doesn't want to be there any more than xanxus wants him to be there. And, ironically, xanxus doesn't care about it either.

Anyway. Xanxus, my guy. Third time's the charm!! Just plan your next coup better, i believe in you. <3 (Also i'm sure tsuna would be happy to help if you ask him.)

"tsuna's kind" and you want to remain deserving of his kindness

"He won't do that" but he could ☝🏽 first of all, and also very much will should it come to that

"He's understanding" right until he decides it's your turn to be understanding, even if he has to make you understand for it to stick

"He's forgiving" uh-huh, he IS. Unless ☝🏽 he decides to go "a little murder" about it instead, so you know. Let's not take it too much for granted

Which is all to say, the only reason vongola gets away with making tsuna vongola decimo against his will is, in my humble opinion, because he's still only 14 years old. A literal kid, still so young and easily impressionable, easily made to doubt himself in the face of how much bigger than him the world can be, easily made to bear weights that aren't his to carry, like the inevitable collateral damage that'd come out of him fighting for his freedom and happiness.

But a grown-up tsuna? A tsuna who's had the time to grow into who he is, who already knows exactly the kind of fuckery he won't let slide? A tsuna who already knows how much of a natural he is at making people find out after they thought they could fuck around with him? Who already knows he's so good at it, they never even think to fuck around with him again? Lol. Lmao even.

Reborn takes one look at him and almost laughs right in front of him. Of course, he still goes on to tutor him to become vongola decimo. He couldn't possibly pass up the honor of being the one to finely tune the ticking time bomb of a boss vongola's demanding to have

Let 2026 be the year we appreciate the khr girls (a lot) more.

LAL is the one who was chosen to be part of the seven strongest, and is also comsubin (italian navy's special forces) 's ace and colonnello's superior and instructor. So like, post-fated day and the whole time after that too, she's still stronger than colonnello without a doubt, let's be real

LUCE and ARIA and UNI are the sky arcobaleno and the literal donne of their family, which is said to be on par with vongola in terms of standing (but i personally like to think in terms of influence and authority too, if not power too). And then they can also see the future

BIANCHI's a good enough hitman she literally worked alongside reborn for a while. And she's just 17. And she's also a good enough hitman she's otherwise a freelance one working on her own

I-PIN's third out of fifty hitmen showing the most promise and potential (or whatever fuuta's ranking was exactly, i don't remember lol). She's also being trained and presumably has been noticed for her skills to begin with by fon

CHROME's out there doing all that without her organs out of sheer resolve. She's the one mukuro trusted was strong enough and suitable enough for him to take over her own body and use his skills through her. And by the end of the manga, she also grows into her own skills in her own right to the point mukuro's impressed by them. She also goes through mammon's training during the future arc, who also compliment her illusion of yamamoto during the shimon arc

HARU goes to a super hard, elite all-girls school and then has tutoring after. She does gymnastics and she's good enough to participate in competition. There's nothing she wouldn't do in the name of her convictions and principles and the people she loves, and violence is at the top of the list. She will hit you and challenge you to a duel and starve you and test you and capture you in the name of justice and doing the right thing and because she cares. She'll also become vongola decimo's wife as long as he's kind and cares and has his heart in the right place

KYOKO's her brother's strength and tsuna's bravery. She's ever-enduring support and ever-enduring comfort and ever-enduring trust. She's patience and understanding too, but more than that, she's ever-enduring faith. She will not doubt your love for her. You will come back to her and allow her to walk by your side down your path as long as she waits for you right where you felt safe leaving her behind. But she won't allow you to walk too far away from her either. She'll be the first to make her way to you if she must

HANA's the friend who'll be by your side through thick and thin and won't ask questions about it. She's the friend who'll remain by your side through thick and thin even if you never tell her what you're involved in and what she's getting herself involved in on your own either. She's the friend that'll always welcome you warmly and will always offer you a helping hand even if you're suddenly 10 years younger or a 100 years old granny or a little baby. She's the friend whose love for you will never so much as falter for as long as she breathes

M.M. literally landed herself in vindice. Which is crazy if what mukuro did to land himself there is any basis for the kind of things that land you in vindice. And then she also broke out of it alongside mukuro and the kokuyo gang. And she's also a good enough hitman to be a freelance one who works solo (before the kokuyo gang) as far as we can tell

NANA's the one who raised tsuna to be the kind of person he is. And no, i'm not giving her all the credit for it, and yes, for sure we can criticize her parenting, but listen. Who else was even there to raise him if not her?? She also looks at all those kids she could have been scared of and turned away and judging and hostile towards, but she welcomes them into her home instead and makes it feel like it's their own too

Someone has to choose duty btw. And sure, it's nice to be able to choose love and happiness instead, and to lord it over the person who chose duty as the better person with the moral high ground. As the one who truly cares about all the things you've both ever said you care about.

Yeah, the person who chose duty thinks so too. In fact, they're the one who wishes more than anything and more than anyone else they could have chosen otherwise too. Because wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose love and happiness, to choose freedom and the safety and safeguard of all that matters to you on an individual and personal scale, and to look down on the person who chose duty for having had it in you to choose otherwise?

And why wouldn't you look down on them when it's obviously the ideal choice to make, right? The only one to make in the face of all you've ever said you care about being at stake. If it were you, you would never--

But it wasn't you. These are all things you can say and think and believe in because it wasn't you. You weren't the one who had to look at the choices in front of you, at the only choices you were allowed to make; who had to look at duty being among them, at duty being what safeguards the existence of the other choices as long as it's fulfilled, and had to find it in you to choose it.

You're not the one who had to find it in you to choose duty as to safeguard the existence of the other choices for everyone else but you.

If there's no one who chooses duty, then no one's able to choose love and happiness either. If there's no one who chooses duty, then you're all too busy dealing with what choosing duty would have taken care of to choose love and happiness.

Someone has to choose duty.

That is what makes it duty.

Tsuna would be so much scarier if he didn't stop himself at just being accordingly scary the couple of times he lets himself be scary. You agree

[hopeswriting]

I love when tsuna gets involved in and actively with things he didn't sign up for and doesn't want to have anything to do with and also doesn't even have the skills to handle to begin with?? (Or so he thinks lol.) Like damn, why does anyone even want him to keep staying there, can he just be allowed to go home already??

And i also love how meanwhile, eventually, one way or another, everyone else involved will actively keep making damn sure he keeps staying there, and will also kill everyone in the room and then themselves if he's ever taken away from them.

Reborn being tsuna's maker. Tsuna rising above and beyond even the most reborn thought he could be. Tsuna being reborn's savior. Tsuna never thinking of himself as such because of course he'd always save him. Tsuna seeing reborn as his savior. Tsuna letting reborn go because he'd never ask him to stay against his will, even if tsuna wants him to stay. Reborn who was always going to come back. Tsuna who'll always welcome him back with open arms. Reborn who'll still stay by his side even when he won't have any more excuses to do so. Tsuna who'll always keep reborn's place by his side for him to return to like he never left, even if reborn never does.
