Whats This I Hear About People Tryna Cancel Kenma??? As A Kenma Stan, I Am Disappointed In Humanity

literally why did shinichiro not introduce mikey and izana if his flipping dream was to run a motorbike shop with them???

i feel like the general public forget that trauma does indeed affect the daily lives of ppl

it might be in the most loudest way but its still there

another hc: luna and mana always give makeovers to nahoya and souta whenever they comeover. and i mean ALWAYS. they will braid their hair, try to brush it, straighten it and one time even managed to force a wig upon their head. souya doesnt mind it but nahoya literally vibrates in his seat because he hates it when someone messes up his hair.

mitsuya obviously has fun with this. he will deliberately place certain objects on low surfaces so luna and mana can easily find them.

they use their mother's makeup set to put lipstick on their lips, orange and blue eyeshadows, fake lashes (nahoya is scared shitless of those things) and blush and whatever else!

luna gets nahoya because she can talk back to him.

"next up: eyelash curler!"

"oi, you're not putting that anywhere on my face!"

"it won't hurt, you big baby."

"im not a baby!"

"prove it ,then."

mana and souya are literally the cutest. they work together to bring glam to souya's face. souya suggests some colors and mana tries to find it and when she cant, souya gently guides her toward it. they will laugh and giggle and have the most fun while their siblings on the other side are struggling to put on a bit of powder (it gets all over nahoya's face).

i have found another relationship to appreciate

these two big bros

i love love love to imagine how these two started to interact cuz theyre the older brothers in their family and toman. draken, chifuyu, baji, and kazutora all have the "only child syndrome", mikey is the middle child mess, we dont know anything about mucho's life and i think practically everyone ignores him and sanzu. so among the mess they found themselves in, these two created a tight bond no one ever expected.

their contrasting nature works: mitsuya with his polite way of talking, respects everyone unless they give him a reason not to, and generally is a friendly nice guy while smiley has a rough way with his language, disregards anyone who is not worth his time and once you peel back the layers is just as amiable as his twin. yet they share that responsibility of being the big brother, of taking care of their younger sibling/s. they get each other.

i imagine the day the kawata twins were introduced, nahoya and mitsuya locked eyes and nodded cuz they have that "older sibling" vibe to them that only the other one gets. they just went "i feel u, bro" and left mikey and draken to wonder wtf is going on.

they can also telepathically communicate!!! whenever one of them is having a rough time, the other acknowledges it and tries to destress them. nahoya catches mitsuya struggling to be strong and offers him a handkerchief, tells him its okay to cry it out. one day, mitsuya happens to stumble upon one of the kawata twins arguments and gently intervenes, explaining to souya that his brother just wants him to be safe and telling nahoya that he doesnt have to raise his voice and could also explain things in a soft voice because souya is not a three year old anymore.

i also would like to imagine these two eat together and just talk about the hilarious stuff their siblings have done or advice each other on how to get them to sleep quicker or what to give them for their birthdays.

"luna tricked mana into letting her cut her hair yesterday."

"seriously? man, shes got -"

"nahoya."

"confidence. shes got the confidence that every girl should have."

mitsuya sighs. "gods know what mom wouldve done to me if she saw half of mana's hair gone."

they just get along with each other and its a mystery to others. their bond became so close that they swore to take care of each others siblings in case something happens to them.

naturally, them being close also meant souya and luna and mana see each other very often. they get together every once in a while and although souya is older than luna and mana, the three of them are a pact and already have inside jokes. oh and hakkai's there too.

saw this on twitter rn, if you ever feel discouraged about writing fanfiction, read this again

i have a very important question tk ask

is it kokonui or kokonoi?

scratch that, theres barely any video essay on ANY of the female characters on aot. maybe ymir or historia. but no one else.

that fact that theres barely any video essay about mikasa should be evident enough that she didnt get the development she deserved

I think the disabled community needs to stop viewing physical and mental disabilities as strict categories that every disability fits neatly into. Disability doesn't and never will come wrapped in a simple package. I absolutely agree that sometimes it is important to make a distinction, but there also needs to be an understanding that there are people whose disabilities aren't strictly physical or mental.

I have met autistic people whose apraxia has led them to use a wheelchair, are they not physically disabled just because the cause is mental? Have they not been hurt just as much by the c-slur as someone who uses a wheelchair for chronic pain?

I have a condition that affects my eyesight to the point I can't drive. My condition is neurological, yet has very physical affects. Is that disability mental, or is it physical? Am I less blind because the problem is with my brain and not my retinas?

Is someone with severe Auditory Processing Disorder who considers themself Hard of Hearing just mentally disabled and not physically too? You can experience many of the same symptoms from hearing loss, so why is only one of us physically disabled?

What about someone like me who has both Auditory Processing Disorder and hearing loss? Where does the physical disability start and the mental disability end, when I cannot tell whether I'm struggling because I can't hear something versus because my brain isn't processing it? /rh

Disabilities are complex and will never be simple to define. There will always be blurry lines. Not every disabled person needs to neatly fit in the box of either mentally or physically disabled. There will always be people in the awkward in-between or whose combination of disabilities creates something new altogether.

yukiatsu is ... an interesting character ...

its 2: 23 am, everyones asleep, and here i am, on my bed, crying my eyes out cuz yuugo and lucas sacrificed themselves for emma and the others fuck

i need to know how the black dragons was formed

like how did shinichiro suddenly go "wait, i need to make my life more interesting" then thought that a gang was what he required

like did he see a movie about a gang and decided he wants it as well?? did he grow up in an environment where he heard or saw or experienced any gang-related things? did he ever tell anyone and no one thought "hey, thats a crazy idea. stop"???

and how did he come up with the name? did he stay up all night, writing down random words he thought were cool, watched several action movies, or just picked up on some english words by coincidence??? or did it come naturally to him as if it was meant to be?

and how the hell did he recruit people into a gang that just consisted of one man? like no offense to wakui but i genuinely find it hard to believe that wakasa and benkei looked at his weeping ass and thought "hmmm, yk what, i like you, i'll join your gang"??? ofc, wakasa and benkei joining meant their members did as well and thus their numbers grew, but did no one oppose? i mean i wouldnt wanna be under the command of a weak ass person. also, before wakasa and benkei, black dragons was just shin.

did he go around proclaiming he was the leader of the black dragons? people mustve thougt he was insane. and what about takeomi? as far as i can remember him and shin were childhood friends, so did takeomi never stop to consider what shinichiro was doing? was takeomi genuinely on board with whatever shin did? i mean, like, he wasnt ever like "hey man, you need to calm down, youve got a brother to take care of."??

i am genuinely curious because black dragons is a prominent gang but i feel like we know so little about it, which is the same case as its leader. i hope we get some information soon.
