20. I have a lot of feelings about Sakuya being conscious of his limited resources vs Tenma's experiences

26. SUDDENLY NOSTALGIA
- I legit cried for a bit, I loved that song when I was younger and it suits them so well
- literally everything Tenma does impresses Sakuya in these threads, he's just really in deep and it's cute imo

27. I feel like people try to write offstage Sakuya into a more one dimensional character, just cute and naive, and that bugs me? So I try to show off his hardworking and cool side where I can

- oops we went too long and Kumod fell asleep like a reasonable person

39. OH LOOK IT'S SADNESS TIME
- consent is v important but also v difficult when there's a tsundere involved
- somehow this parallels the scene with Chikage, even though I don't think Tenmod read that thread? idk but it's interesting in hindsight

40. bittersweet ending
- yeah it's sad but it's the kind of sad where you know it's going to be okay and they'll grow from it
- I actually plan on changing the way Sakuya reacts starting from the next thread to reflect some of the development here, so watch for that I guess

42. skipping ahead bc I didn't post for a bit(distracted by Azamuku)
- it was important to give Tenma one last chance to back out, just to make sure they're really on the same page
- tbh an analysis on the default seating choices at large Mankai gatherings would be useful

43. Yuki ruins everything(but in a good way)
- he was right about everything tho
- as usual, Sakuya doesn't see himself as a priority so he only asks them to spare Tenma instead of both of them
- Muku is a precious bean

52. fuck yeah swings
- there was a little bit of playground lore I decided not to include- at least at my elementary school, people said that if your swings synced up, it meant you liked each other
- decided to go for just having a good time instead

58. headcanon established: Sakuya is a really jealous person when it comes to love, but he represses it a lot bc that's not cool, you have to trust your partner more than that
- he's super self-conscious about it too, maybe thinking he doesn't deserve to be possessive
- he's super self-conscious about it too, maybe thinking he doesn't deserve to be possessive
59. so now he's just disappointed in himself for being so obvious about what he feels like he shouldn't show at all
- "self-sacrifice is self-preservation" is one of his core tenets and I think that's relatable and sad
- but I guess Tenma's logic tracks so try to be not sad
