Haruhi: Now wait a minute, you guys don't believe this?
All the Host Club staring at her:
Haruhi: Well, I mean, I'm not denying that's me in the photograph but I am denying anything happened!
Haruhi: I just dropped off his folder!
Kyoya: Then why does it say here that you were "in his house for two hours"?
Haruhi: We were just talking!
Tamaki violently pointing to the newspaper: Then why does it say "the explosion was so great it shattered windows in the building next door"!!!
Kyoya: ...Tamaki that's an article about an earthquake in another country.

Why I Absolutely Cannot Stand TamaHaru as an Ouran Manga Reader
Shoutout to this post I made a while back, we're finally delving into the second half of my argument lol
I feel like I'm gonna get some heat for this but I mean this completely in good faith to the shippers, because y'all are people. And honestly? Since there are so many of you, I would genuinely appreciate hearing your (polite) responses because I really don't understand. Here's my (anti-TamaHaru) perspective:
Ok, so TamaHaru always seemed a bit bland to me in the anime. It was fine if it had to happen, I guess, but it always seemed like the other characters were a lot more excited about it than the actual couple, and it just kind of seemed like their energies and life plans didn't align? They don't even end up kissing by the end of the anime, and they were the main ship and a straight couple. If they wanted to kiss, wouldn't they have kissed? And I mean, yeah, there was that whole bit where everyone was like "wow, Haruhi's dad is just like Tamaki" (which seems like some sort of weird relationship complex in and of itself), but Tamaki had a tendency to get excited about shit Haruhi just complained about, and I... is it really worth it at that point?
(Especially when Kyoya and Mori are right there. Come on dude, Kyoya is absolutely willing to have Tamaki's back every step of the way for whatever interests he wants to pursue and Tamaki designates him as the teammate in the family, and don't even get me started on whatever was going on between Haruhi and Mori in the waterpark episode. I want more of that shit. But that's a topic for another time.)
Feel free to give me your arguments on this too (kindly, please), but I feel like most of it that I've seen is "they'll grow together"/"they're equally stupid and that's cute"/"he just loves her so much"/"they're so aesthetic" and none of these have ever really held water for me because it doesn't really seem to negate the lack of chemistry I've observed...
Oof that was a long ass backstory but onto the actual point
So in the manga, my experience was basically all my fears were confirmed and then some, and we quickly spiraled into downright emotional abuse and partner-to-partner hatred????
Ah god it was so bad
Here are some examples
Haruhi's reaction to the realization that she loves Tamaki (Volume 13)
Literally the first example of body dysmorphia we've ever gotten from Haruhi (directly contradicting her body-positive/neutral quotes from volume 3), along with a very convenient example of Tamaki's (NOW CONFIRMED ROMANTIC) infantilization of Haruhi that y'all already know because it is present since the start of the series (the thing is this wouldn't even be an issue if it was directed at a friend as a "we have a family bond and I want to feel like I'm taking care of you" as he does with the twins and not to someone who he wants to be his life partner....) (Volume 13)
Haruhi's thoughts on the possibility of dating Tamaki (Volume 13)
The fact that the Dream Haruhi plotline has ground to stand on?????? Since when has it been okay to fantasize that your supposed other half is a completely different person when it comes to an actual romantic relationship? Shit like this is okay until it starts affecting other people, and the fact Haruhi has already shown dysmorphia because she cares about whether or not Tamaki wants to date her and then this shit happens makes me very uncomfy down to my bones. (Volume 14)
This isn't something particularly heinous between these two, but it is yet another egregious example of how they always just completely miss each other's vibes, which I personally don't really like in my power couples (Volume 15)
I'm just saying, if I realized my girlfriend thought these things about me I would be justifiably upset (Volume 15)
Ok I understand the tendency of the host club to jokingly threaten violence (read: Kyoya when he wakes up and both of the twins) but this is both completely unwarranted and oddly genuine what the fuck :D (Volume 15)
What the fuck <3 (Volume 15)
It's ok guys she's rethinking it because he fell asleep in the club room :D (she never apologizes to him by the way)
And then they spend the rest of the series overcoming external obstacles and living happily ever after
Just kidding this is how they get together (Volume 18)
And this is their first date. I don't feel like depicting it in its entirety because my back hurts now but rest assured Tamaki acting like Tamaki pisses Haruhi off more than once <3 (Volume 18)
In summary I've only ever seen them act like this with each other I like both of their characters but these chapters genuinely almost convinced me to hate them they are so bad for each other just date someone else just date someone else p l e a s e

Rook and MC: *tending to an injured sparrow*
Rook: *removes bandages*
Sparrow: *flies off*
MC: Aw, it flew away…
Rook: *slowly smiles*
Rook: Get my gun.
I promise, I’m not going to become a page for just incorrect quotes; the first ending for Out On A Limb is almost done.
P.S. If you know where this quote originally comes from, you will be blessed with good rolls; may your favorite boys come home.

Bakugou: What were you thinking? Remember, you’re tiny, and weak, and defenseless! Like a Gerbil! You’re a gerbil Deku! Remember that you’re just a gerbil!
Midoriya: Why don’t you remember that you’re a fucking asshole?
---------
Kirishima: Now go apologize.
Bakugou: Why should I apologize to a gerbil?
Midoriya: Stop calling me that!

Yeah i don't know if i can assume THAT much about you from your artstyle but. Ex-hamilton liker for SURE just like you said. And you probbaly liked it a lot if you were watching animatics. And you like or have at some point liked anime at least a little bit
looks at the amount of ouran highschool host club ive reblogged... hmm 'Anime' Never Heard of It /j
I think my art now is mainly influenced by the graphic novels im reading, Snotgirl in particular has one of the best art styles i've seen
Hamilton was definitely a secondary special interest of mine for id say a year or two! Made sure my entire family was very aware (forced my mom to watch the entire musical in animatics, played the music constantly in the car, even got my brother to like it a little bit) but now ii... I dont have anything nice to say about the actual thing or dear miranda BUT the fandom or at least a small few artists were actually really influential to me- to the point I can say the Hamilton fandom transed my gender (and minecraft roleplays made me gay yippie!)
