Im glad you guys started strong with a Keiko appreciation post and I have a few thoughts on that. There is a lot of clear stuff indicating that Yuske and Keiko are soulmates and its very down-to-earth and oddly mature (aside from the occasional ass poking, but ya'know), so it pains me to say that they're tragically incompatible, on like every level. Values, goals, personality, lifestyle (sort of mitigated in the end of the manga), long term it would be a real struggle. Like, I just dont see it ending well between the two of them, even if Yusuke didn't get his demonic immortality.

BUT I can see Kuwabara as the potential grease in the gears of this relationship if they ever became a throuple. Kuwabara's oddly in both their worlds and really understands each of them. And he's way better at expressing his feelings than either Yusuke or Keiko lol. I need this fic, it would be hella cute.

AYYYYYYYYYY fellow keiko appreciator i see!! ^^ rest assured that there’s nothing but love for keiko on this here blog, at least as far as the folks running this joint go. she goes through SO much, she rlly deserves the world.

hard agree that she and yusuke are extremely incompatible in a romantic sense, as well. their friendship means the world to me but as romantic partners, there’s a severe lack of communication + conflicting interests which would make a romantic relationship crash and burn in the long run i think— a majority of the issues being yusuke’s fault, in my own opinion. bro needed to LOCK IN and yet he just continued to fuck around while keiko put her whole life on hold for him. with all the love in my heart, i am beating him with hammers. BUT I DIGRESS!!

your take about kuwabara being the much needed grease for that relationship’s rusting gears is something i myself have considered on multiple occasions, largely prompted by many many yap sessions with blue anon (who truly would be better suited to reply to your lovely ask, all things considered (^-^;) at least in terms of how well versed we are in this particular topic)

i feel like a large part of yusuke and keiko’s separation stems from their individual relationships with makai, and the spirit detective shenanigans which divided them— and the lovely thing about kuwabara is that he bridges that gap!! as you said, kuwabara is an emotional center that makes up for yusuke and keiko’s individual stubbornness, cuz lord knows keiko’s got a temper of her own. plus ofc that greater understanding that he has inherently, both as an outsider, but ironically, an insider? if that makes sense lol? he understands where yusuke’s coming from seeing as he was IN the dark tournament he was THERE in the weeds with yusuke while all the spirit detective shit was going down, but he also feels keiko’s own pain in many ways. being pushed aside in yusuke’s own fucked up idea of “protecting them.” idk if any of this made sense but know i think you’re very based and im kissing your brain folds as a peasant would his squire’s hand.

SHOULD NOTE ON THE FIC THING: there’s actually a fic being updated rn that i believe has the exact premise you’re looking for!! it’s not finished yet, but it’s showing a LOT of promise and i think you’d rlly get a kick out of it ^^ honestly you may have already read it but HEY spreading the gospel yk? anyway tysm for the ask my brain is expanding you are so based AAA
