Starting my Fruits Basket reread (20 chapters in)
Tohru being like "now's your chance
" And Ayame launching into his student council story will never not be funny

"If you really felt that way you shouldn't have gotten a cold"
I'm sorry Kyo, didn't realize people could opt out of being sick
I'm sorry Kyo, didn't realize people could opt out of being sick
He immediately feels bad about it but honestly I feel like Kyo would spend way too much time on that AITA subreddit
Hatori's really the unsung hero of fb
Hatori
I get Kazuma did what he thought he needed to but...omg he's so lucky it all worked out
He's clearly willing to do the difficult thing if it's for Kyo's happiness and well-being. I can respect that, but throwing Tohru in the middle of it w/ the understanding that her rejection could mean a mental breakdown for Kyo? It's pretty messed up
So Kazuma is clearly a father figure to Kyo. I wonder if Kyo calling him master was like a stand in for calling him dad. Like that was his acknowledgement of the important role Kazuma plays in his life
Ok feeling very stupid now bc ofc that was the point
He's really trying to be Yuki's wingman
Honorable mention: Hatori was his first call

Is Hatori always Ayame's first call? Bc it kind of feels like it
Hiro's really out here reminding me how much of a brat I was in elementary school
He's 
finally here
finally here
Hatori
He's trying his best
I did not appreciate Tohru enough in middle school. Also...when's Shigure going to take Hatori's medical advice to shut up
Istg it's like Ayame has a 6th sense for when Yuki's in crisis
Ayame
I love their relationship so much, I'm so glad it can be mended
or at least that there's some understanding
Also, the phone call(who's always his first call
)

I have so many Yuki thoughts but they're incoherent so I'm just going to go
but they're incoherent so I'm just going to go
Bordering?!?! It is!
Kyo's biological father really is a pos
Wearing jeans to the beach is definitely...a choice
I don't necessarily dislike it(although I'm pretty ambivalent about it). But the whole thing between Mayu and Hatori is really messy and weird
I get the vibe that Shigure & Akito have been toying w/ Kureno more than the rest. What did he do to deserve isolation???
Finally the beach arc is over
I love them your honor(>///<)/♡
The lengths Haru went through to try to make Yuki was ok back when he was trapped at the Sohma estate are heartbreaking 
It's Kazuma, who wouldn't?
There's so much to unpack here. I don't have the words for all of it now. But even if this were true, it's by design & it's incredibly manipulative to disregard that. Then again, this is the same woman who was willing to put her child through abuse & isolation for her own benefit
The way she flagrantly calls Yuki a "unique burden" & blatantly refers to him as a tool is...
The gaslighting of telling him that he has nothing to be unhappy about bc he's the "favorite" of his abuser. Sitting by and benefitting from it all is so disgusting

Who's doing it like Ayame? No one
I love him so much
I love him so much
He's simply the best
Yuki canonically seeing Kakeru as a bright light? It's more likely than you'd think
Machi & Kimi would be a cute couple
It's probably in my head, but this whole scene reads like jealousy
And then there's the internal dialogue that's clearly meant for both of them
This is where it should have ended. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't 
I love him your honor
Generally speaking, lies should be believable
Tbh Haru & Rin are the only endgame couple I really like aside from kyohru, but it's very codependent and idk if that's going to change...
Actually it reminds me of Nana and Ren. They love each ofc, but idk

They would be the superior ship
I mean...
Also I don't remember if they ever have a canon interaction but Ritsu and Kagura would be a cute couple
I get that this is supposed to be a joke but...
Honestly why should either of them get cut out? Their father's the one who decided to go out and have an affair.
Going back to Kureno for a bit. This is what I find so awful about his situation in particular. He's totally isolated by design, he's left w/ no one who actually gets him who he could confide in.
He only has Akito.
He only has Akito.
Yuki and Kyo's relationship has been founded on such a fundamental misunderstanding of each other. It's tragic
Wait......Tohru's parents met when her mother was in middle school (I'm guessing that her mom was 15/16) and it was a student teacher relationship
Ok so it wasn’t formally like that but...omg wtf
He just proposed to her out of the blue...
She's in middle school(I think?), her parents are in the midst of disinherieting her,, they're not dating and
Katsuya shows up and says that they're getting married just like that?!?!

"It's your fault for being born late"
He did not...
Teacher of the year

I really wish they hadn't met the way they did
I'm getting the feeling anything that didn’t work on Yuki back then got used on Kureno...
So it's not the same. Clearly Kureno feels guilty, but idk...
I'm 99% Akito would cling to the zodiac bond in such an unhealthy way if Ren wasn't Ren.
Also fuck Shigure especially
Also fuck Shigure especially
No wonder Akito has heavy abandonment issues
God, Shigure is a bastard
That whole "you're so quick to use your feminity when it benefits you line", made my blood boil
Akito should be held accountable for how they treat people in general, but Shigure is so fucking petty & vindictive

Actually, I'm not done bc the whole false equivalency between feminity & vulnerability makes me want to scream.
& he knew what he was doing
There's definitely an argument to be made that Akito isn't owed Shigure's compassion & that's fair. But he wants to come at Kureno for
& he knew what he was doing
There's definitely an argument to be made that Akito isn't owed Shigure's compassion & that's fair. But he wants to come at Kureno for
acting like a martyr. When, while the curse breaking is the best thing that could happen to Akito & the zodiac, I don't think that's his main motivation.
He's possessive and if he has no qualms about pretending to have the moral high ground while doing that.

You mean to tell me that after pitting Machi against her half-brother for years & doing everything that's asked of her, she gets passed over and abandoned in favor of her younger brother?
The worst of it is that she's getting punished for it all.
Please everytime Ayame shows up he's serving a 
look. His taste is unmatched

And they were partners
This exactly what I was talking about
Fair
However, telling someone that you love them then proceeding to be as awful as you can be to them is not a solution.
I get that he won't be nice bc Akito is looking for an unconditional love that he isn't capable of providing. I get that. But twisting the knife, rubbing

Rubbing salt in the wound, only serves to further break Akito down
As mentioned, he doesn't owe Akito anything. But idk how treating them no better than their mother treats them helps anyone

Here's the thing though. I'm not sure that what's he's doing benefits anyone, much less Akito
Change is necessary. It can also be painful. But he's such a bastard about everything

It feels like there are some parallels between Ren and the former cat's companion.
All I'm saying is that her "love" looks a lot like a twisted version of pity

Fb really is about internalized misogyny
Right when I thought it was over he pulls me back in
He may be an unapologetic bastard, but at least it's equal opportunity
He may be an unapologetic bastard, but at least it's equal opportunity
So in the end Akito's parents were two sides of the same narcissitic coin
You know Akito was right when Yuki and them first met, at least a little. Bc for the both of them every adult in their lives is so callously self-involved & out to get theirs that they benefit, while the children they were responsible for are destroyed via a death by a 1000 cuts
I know that I'm skipping over the cliff and the confession and most of the fallout
But he's back & Ayame only shows up when things are about to get better
& Ayame only shows up when things are about to get better
The power they would have
I'm convinced that Shigure has a messed up definition of teasing
Pot meet kettle
