"Okay."

"People are hurt and you dont care about them, you should understand."

"Okay."

"Stop being dramatic and get a life and go study. This is for yourself have you ever thought of that?"

"Okay."

"Do you even know how hurt your parents are to do everything and do hardwork only for you and you dont accept it and instead give them embarasment and disgust?"

"Sorry."

"Why are you overthinking on you classmates so hard, they should be the one to judge you."

"Okay."

"That goes for the teachers aswell, you know that job is hard yet you continue to rant at them and take out your anger on them for no reason, do you even know how hard it is to check and compute a bunch of grades and how tiring it is for them more than YOU, yet you still so it? Grow up."

"Okay."

"You should start being more generous and accept people and your parent's critisim it is an important part of your life and you need to grow with it!"

"Okay."

"Stop being embarassing and do better for the people around you, they are in pain at you and your actions so do better."

"Okay."

"Just do what and people say and BALANCE YOU FUCKING TONE. Dont sound angry, dont be annoying, dont be quiet, dont speak low and speak fucking louder."

"Okay."

"Ignore your feelings and priorites others just grow up. Its part of fucking life."

"Okay."

Dont say your real feelings, just keep nodding, even to yourself

INT. SCUDERIA ALPHATAURI MOTORHOME - SURPRISE KARAOKE NIGHT

that part where jyushi goes "kamisama oneGAIIIIIII" WITH THE GROWL N EVERYTHING HRGHHGHHHFFDSHF . INSANE

basic post for if you want to get into superformula

superformula is the top flight of motorsport in japan, home to the fastest single seaters after f1. it's been around since 1973, which is quite a while!

4 races of the season may have passed but it is not too late and since there is increased interest this year i thought people might want to know, so...

the format

there are 22 cars and 2 groups of qualifying, Q1A and Q1B. the top 6 of each group then go on to fight for pole in Q2. each session is 7 min long.

the polesitter gets 3 points, starting p2 gets you 2 points, starting p3 gets you 1 point. this makes qualifying more important than other series imo

the races are typically 40ish laps; over 250km. you are given 2 sets of tyre compounds and you need to use both during the race, which means everyone must pit at some point. expect strategies like an f2 feature race.

the race winner gets 20 points. p2 gets 15, p3 gets 11, p4 gets 8, p5 gets 6. p6 down to p10 gets 5 to 1 point.

the drivers

they are mostly japanese, clearly. the radio and bulk of the onsite interviews are in japanese, but english comms will translate so i think it's not a problem. also the interviewer switches languages at the drop of a hat she's insane (in a good way).

i'm going to introduce the names you might have heard of in other series. but shoutout to tomoki nojiri, the current reigning champion.

ok. if you're reading this chances are you've heard of liam lawson (#15) and his exploits in this series thus far. one of marko's twinks-in-waiting and arguably the most promising one rn. has had a decent amount of lore in his career for his age thanks to dtm. and twitch 💀 bffs with yuki tsunoda and appeared on dts bc of it

ryo hirakawa (#20), the beloved little brother in the toyota gazoo racing #8, won le mans and the wec wdc as a rookie. youngest ever super formula driver. has come close, but has never won the championship. which he should bc he's won super gt and japan f3 already and if he wins this it's the japanese triple crown. bffs with nick cassidy of fe championship leader fame (sorry i had to mention it somehow)

kamui kobayashi (#7), who is somehow driving and being his own team principal in wec (where he coincidentally also drives a toyota #7). was in f1, has multiple wec titles to his name. but no super formula title either. in fairness i doubt it was ever his main focus. still fun to have him around.

if you've followed f2 since like 2018? you'll recognise some names such as nirei fukuzumi #12 (cousin nirei if you follow albon_pets, also has been sf vice-champion), nobuharu matsushita #50 (the embodiment of that tomato girl aesthetic on tiktok), giuliano alesi #36 (son of the jean alesi), and cem bolukbasi #55 (most recent f2 to sf grad alongside liam)

the calendar

ok there are only 5 races left.

sugo, 16-18 june

fuji, 14-16 july

motegi, 18-20 august

suzuka double header, 27-29 october

that's it! i'm new to this too tbh and i understand the timezones are pretty ass for people that aren't in the asia pacific region but i hope this helps you out regardless!

FRUITS BASKET IS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE ANIME OF ALL TIME PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF ITTTTT

HI HIHIHIHI OK OK OKOKOK !!!!!! spoilers to follow :p

so like this is my third(?) rewatch i believe and i'm like. fuckin. like. fuckin crazy dude. i feel like i'm losing my mind. everything about this show is DESIGNED to make me feel insane. everything about it is simply written to hit me straight in the chest every time. i think my favorite thing this time around is actually the everything about yuki and kyo. kyo is just like. clenching fists. my specialest little character who i love so so so much. he means EVERYTHING to me. i want to pick him up and shake him around like a dog with a particularly long stick. im like. going crazy. and TOHRU AND KYO. their relationship genuinely has me like. frothing at the mouth thinking about it. it's about the choice to love someone and to let someone love you and it's something about healing and trauma and helping each other without fixing each other its about been seen and about letting people see you its about the choices you make and the ones that are taken from you and how you don't need to be perfect to deserve the love someone else is choosing to give you im gonna BITE THINGS. the next episode in my watch is the first part of the true form eps and im like. i was gonna watch them but then i was going too crazy just thinking about it and i needed to stop in order to preserve my sanity and also the safety of my electronics and the wall i was going to throw them at. so im currently paused, but im gonna hopefully finish s1 today!!! im going crazy fr. like. this show rots something in my brain. i truly cannot put it into words why. but my brain is ROT. i literally started rewatching and then decided a week into november that surely i can change my nanowrimo project to smth fruits basket related. because this surely truly for real is a good idea. anyways im going so crazy. kyo and tohru make me want to twirl the phone cord around my finger and write in my diary ( <- has neither a landline nor a diary). and god ok. akito. akito. akito. akito, who scratches at my brain and makes me feel fucking crazy. its just. the personification of the cycle of abuse and then the act of breaking it.....doomed by the narrative she is writing....im losing my mind !!!!! my entire goddamn mind !!!!!!!!!!!! yeah. yeah. yeah.

anyways i would looooooove to hear ur (and anyone) tell me their thoughts about it as well !!! i NEEEEEED to be talking about fruits basket all of the time rn and would looooooove to do that here !!!!!

I am so glad that I’m not the only one who is pissed off with the Carlos fans. I literally have been so afraid to speak out about it because they are literally crazy. They will attack you just because you said Carlos hair doesn’t look fluffy. I thought that the Italian men who were fans of Charles Leclerc Were wild, but the Carlos fans are even crazier. Like, Ferrari is not going to regret giving you Carlos up. It’s a team, and this is a competitive sport. They do this so often that they are used to people leaving the team and going to win somewhere else.

They’re not going to specifically beg Carlos to say just because he’s won twice and one of those wins were practically handed to him due to Max’s car. just because he won once fair and square and the other one was practically given to him on a silver platter, doesn’t mean that Ferrari is going to cry and get on their hands and knees, and beg for him to stay just because he won.

No wonder people call the tifosi the most delusional, fan base. And those saying people who are crying about Carlos leaving and saying they’re going to regret it and stuff are the same people who call Lewis Hamilton crymilton 😭

Like, I really like Carlos and Charles, but their fanbase makes me want to hate them. Same thing with the Daniel Ricciardo fans. I remember someone telling you about the racism and hatred Yuki was facing after Bahrain. I remember someone telling you about how the stands were acting like Daniel has never done anything wrong in his entire life.

Both men are extremely beautiful and talented, but their fans make people hate the drivers themselves. People say that, “if you were a real fan, you wouldn’t let the fans put you off.”

How are you supposed to not be affected by the fans when they are being so toxic? When they ruin the entire experience for you? Make it make sense

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have ADHD in autism because when I hyper focus on something, I cannot get out of it no matter how hard I try

And rn that’s f1 😭

you explained it PERFECTLY😭😭😭😭

like i really like carlos, don’t get me wrong that’s a fellow madridista 🤞 but the carlos fans saying that ferrari is gonna regret it after he what?? won 2 races only because red bulls car wasn’t working?

he’s talented don’t get me wrong, but if anyone else was starting right behind max would’ve won the race , ( anyone with a good car that is bc we all know merc is shitty asf rn but i think charles or the mclarens could’ve won🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️)

same w daniel fans, i saw so many ppl being racist to yuki over bahrain on twt n it was insane

like they’re attractive and have showcased their talents before, but damn some fans make me so annoyed 😭😭

f1 feels like a kpop fandom icl, bc stg on f1twt you can’t criticize ANYONE but on fbtwt everyone gets criticized for anything even the best players but no one gets as upset as f1twt

(although some criticisms on fbtwt are just wrong bc ppl do tend to get racist but saying a player has been in a bad spot doesn’t get ppl upset like saying something slightly negative abt drivers 😭)

sorry I just have like super autism about funger and sdra. And I am not entirely sure how tumblr works so I'm sorry if it is spammy . I know I type weird and I'm sorry for that too I was just so excited to see that. Funger is so cool especially termina!! Love ur drawings!' Thank u!

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL. AHHH THESE ARE LITERALLY MY FIRST EVER ASKS I'M JUST. HAPPY STIMMING RN

Also. Yeah no Nikei ain't surviving the festival lmao, I feel like he either gets killed somewhat easily (pretty much everyone can kick his ass in hand to hand combat, he would have among the lower stats in the entire cast. His only real advantage would be the fact his main weapon would be a gun) or he doesn't survive too long before becoming Moonscorched. His Moonscorched would be a BITCH to kill off, definitely a Chaugnar type where if you fail the toin coss you get an instant game over.

I would love to draw more for a sdra/funger au tbh, if anything else pops to mind I'm definitely drawing it!

Also, oooh, I've thought about who would be who, and tbh, I always thought Syobai would be a pretty snug fit for Daan? They both have medical knowledge and their signature weapons are knives, and I always connected that the 'blank soul' was due to the ungodly amounts of trauma Daan had to go through, and. Yeah, I don't think anyone could beat Syobai as far as trauma goes. Or you could also give Sora the blank soul, considering... Well, yeah, amnesia WOULD leave her a blank slate.

Mikado as Samarie could fit considering his very... interesting obsession for Utsuro in the canon game. Then maybe Marina can be Yuki? Lol Mikado as O'saa would also be funny (mostly because the Moonscorched is called Mastermind) and just. Imagine Mikado being his usual insane self, walking around with Utsuro's head deadpanning everything he says. (Utsuro would take Nas'hrah place here ofc)

As for other characters... I think Hajime taking Olivia's spot would be very interesting- I mean, he was also canonically stuck in a wheelchair when he was younger. I need to think about this more... Not sure about any of the others yet.

Also, really, dw!!! This made me really happy!!! I'm glad to not be the only one with the dra and funger brainworm, I'll take any excuse to talk about them lol

I may warn you, this might be long and winded or just really geeky. I debated on whether to do this anonymously but hey might as well go crazy, that’s what Yuki would have done

I read your recent fanfic AND OMG YOU CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I ADMIRE YOU FOR WRITING IT. The characters were so well written the dynamic between Yuki and Todo was ✨✨ and silly jokes made me laugh so hard. The backstory you gave to Yuki was so GOOOD and when she said “I’ll save everything.” That got me in the feels so bad. Gege was so wrong for not letting her have a backstory and I’m so glad that you did her justice.

Just Yuki’s characterisation as a whole is so well written here. I love the fact that she pulls up such a cool facade but then gets panicked when confronted by parenthood (is this just a special grade thing or wha-). Her moments of vulnerability with Misato are one of the best aspects of the fic along with everything else.

The way you did the non-linear story was very well done. You would not believe how much I shrieked when it was November 2018 or when I got sad over any 2006 scenes along with laughs from 2009.

All in all if I could kudos it a million times I would do so and it now is one of my favourite fics, especially since Yuki is so under appreciated. This is basically a love letter expressing how much I enjoyed reading it and how much I thank you for writing this. 🙏🏿🙏🏿

DJWKSKADJWJDJSJXH OMG. Woa I'm so. Like omg I'm over the moon rn?? I posted like ... two hours ago and you already read it???? INSANE. Tysmmm and tysm for sending me this I'm gonna go cry my eyes out.

Ahhh I'm so glad you liked Yuki and Todo's dynamic because I wasn't sure AT ALL how to portray Todo especially him as a kid and I struggled so much to find a voice for him that I liked, so this is really nice to see!! Gege was indeed so wrong for not giving us a Yuki backstory like fksjdfs I think about her so much,, so so much, the possibilities were endless! You think I did her justice gonna cry again that is so nice tyyyy <3333

It was important for me to nail Yuki being silly and having things under control while at the same time panicking, she has many layers :) And omg thanks for saying you liked so much the non-linear narrative because I was really agonizing over that too hoping it wouldn't be confusing sjdhfeisj

Tyyyyy you're too nice to me I'm gonna treasure this message forever and ever omg I'm so so so happy that you liked it so much!! :) :) <333333

*screams*

I said I a sigular person liked my post I would write a smash or pass list of the current f1 grid and @veryspecificfantasies did like it but it took me two whole weeks to write it somehow

So here is smash or pass: f1 from someone who is both very inexperienced and slightly prudish in the real world but has extensive Opinions

lewis: so we all know he's the most attractive on the grid, like its not up for debate in my opinion BUT.... .idk there's just something very dom about him? And I'm really not into that, like its so uncomfortable to me. We would not be compatible. So for that reason alone I'm gonna respectfully say pass (also apparently he's into feet and I just. I can't even think about that)

george: i go to Oxford so I've met 1000 george russells in the past few years. He's either a raging mansplaining tory or he's just kind of wooden and... southern. And I just feel like he wouldn't be that good in bed? Pass.

max: pass

checo: if he was younger I'd probably say smash bc he seems like a real romantic but I just see him as such a dad so im saying pass

charles: idk how compatible we'd be but ugh that face, how could I not? Smash.

carlos: literally ges like a mills and boon romance novel love interest. He is the definition of STEAMY. The luscious hair, the intense eyes, the lips, the abs. He would treat me right, I would have the night of my life. Smashhhh

daniel: of course I'm gonna smash. This man gave me an entire sexual awakening, I want to bite his nose. Can't tell if he'd be a freak of very intense and loving but either way it would be fun, he wouldn't stop talking, and you'd cuddle afterwards :)

lando: girlies he just doesn't do it for me. And he's so whiney and awkward and combined with my prudishness we'd either never make it that far or would have the most unpleasurable 3 minute sex known to man.

pierre: he's a freak he's a slut he's a hoe his abs make me go insane I would smash maybe once for the night of my life. He would not make me breakfast and would not text me.

yuki: this applies to lando too but im kind of short man phobic? I know that's a bad thing to say but its true, I'm a curvy gal and I feel insecure when im with men smaller than me so it just wouldn't work with yuki. but he is the driver I would most like to hang out with, he seems so fun and we could go shopping and eat good food :)

esteban: hear me out. There has always been something about este ive been into. He's got the height going for him but I also think he's an underrated hottie (and also looks just like the guy I was getting with from work....). And he's the driver I could see myself most realistically dating cos he's the right level of sweetheart. I dont know if he'd necessary be...Good? In bed at first? But he would be very...loving And try v hard :))) smash and date

fernando: short man phobic and also he's a but scary so pass but maybe as a younger man...

valterri: OK so idk if I'd be immediately into him but I feel like we'd get drunk together in an old pub or a snowy cabin or something and have a great time and really make each other laugh and id find myself increasingly drawn to him and then I just feel like he would give his ALL in bed, like he would work SO HARD and be SO INTENSE and it would be really hot and then he would make me a coffee and a nice snack and maybe we'd cuddle.

guanyu: I know so little about him other than his impeccable prada fits so im saying pass but this is subject to review

seb: rn his hair and bear put me off but like ferrari era...or even last year? There's just something about him? He' would......seduce me? So maybe smash idk???

lance: OK so with his older hair? With the swoopy fringe? Such a smash, i found him so hot and he has beautiful eyes but I hate his current hair sm id have to pass

alex: exact same as este, he has the height and he seems like the sweetest bf

nicky: pass, I'm just not into him

kevin: im on the fence...idk..hes a good looking guy so maybe smash? But I don't care too much either way

mick: this boyyy yes absolutely smash but not smash make love and stare into each others eyes and get married and grow old together :) :) :)

Can you please make a list of the drivers and tell what you think about each of them. Only if you want to, but I am curious. 😽

...alright, okay, whole grid under the tab ya'll also if i say I hate someone rn and I start saying I love them tmmr dont be surprised my brain does that sometimes

charles: I genuinly like charles, seems like a good person w an insane amount of talent genuinly enjoy watching him drive a lot, one of my favs on the grid.

carlos: ......I am a culer. I do not like this man.

max: I, ugh, I love fanon max if that counts for fucking anything, irl max makes me uncomfortable but I get it, he has a weird charm but yeah just no. also dont really enhoy the way he races so that also doesn't make up for him being a dick.

checo: I dont have to much of an opinion on him but I like how respectful and kind he seems to be all the time. also incredible driver!

lando: listen ya'll okay..........I used to simp, I dont like him a lot rn, he just gives me bad vibes, he just feels to much like a 15 yr old gamer boy and I do not enjoy that. I like him w max and dan a lot tho

dan: BABIE BOOYYYYYYY. one of my favorite drivers on the grid, incredible driver, fantastic human. my favorite in my hyperfixactions are always the optimistic flirty lil bitch and that him, he is just so wonderful he makes me very !!!

lewis: king, one of the best to ever do it, style icon. yeah just, I mean its lewis, pretty high maintenaince man who gets what the fuck is going on in the world and isnt afraid to say it.

george: I dont like care about this man at all, he doesnt give me good or bad vibes, he exists, he looks like he wouldnt know what I meant if I would ask him to hold my drink as I go to the bathroom

esteban: noddle man who jsut seems genunly kind. I really like him, dont know to much abt him but the bit I do is just him seeminly being a good and kind person who just a lil dramatic and I love that for him

nando: stupid old slut man who I despise deeply (affectionate)

pierre: I hate how attracted I am to this man but hes an incredible driver and the way he carries himself is just, so hot. so uh, thumbs up.

yuki: I dont feel to much abt him but he seems wonderful and kind and I genuinly think hes an incredible driver and I hope he gets to show that more this season.

lance: no real opinon, rich boy, kinda shit driver, who doesn't seem like to like driving. eh. other people deserve that seat more.

seb: *holds gently* my beloved little idiot man I love you so much you stupid lil freak. he needs a haircut.

val: yes

guanyu: funky lil fashion man who goes zoom well. thumbs up.

nicky: look at lance opinion. Just like him a bit more because he genuinely seems to enjoy driving and is actually pretty okay when you look at his junior career.

alex: wonderful man! he is so good so soft so kind, I like him a lot he just gives off such good vibes.

kev: a whole man and a half whos completely fucking insane and exactly my kinda guy for that, love him so wonderful so supportive.

mick: I..........d-do u even want me to start. litteraly my favorite person on the grid for so so so many reasons. the way he holds himelf, the way he is socially aware the way he has so much pressure on him and is still able to have fun and live a life and do what he does and be kind and he so incredible, the way he cares so muhc about everyone on his team and helps out and makes sure everyones okay i just.....I love him but I need him to break and go mad schumi please and thank you.

alright, feel free to disagree or try and convince me otherwise in my asks im open for change unless its abt mick, if u dont like mick the fuck r u doing on my blog fr.

Okay you kno I had to send you a3 for that ask meme 👀

Giving u da biggest hand kisses rn bestie (unironically ty I am. Cryinf after ur response to my ask I AM A YUKI ENTHUSIAST UEUE)

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Sakuya, Kazu and Yuki!

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): Misumi and Tsuzuru like I. Literally go insane and get the meanies I would hug them n squish their cheeks while violently kissing their foreheads.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Muku and Kumon!! They're so vital to people continuing on their journey (Juza, Yuki, CITRON, Kazunari, etcetera)

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): OK but unironically the teachers in this game are some of the real mvps. Kazu and Itaru's teachers made such a profound impact that changed their outlook on so many things I start crying when I think about it. In this essay I will-

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): I unironically love Banri in a 'he understands things to a heightened degree' way and also because of his depth. Lots of symbolism n connections to him being in autumn troupe too so, just love him <:)

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Tortures Chikage with love because he deserves it and I want him to heal because we're a bit too similar.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Yuzo and Misumi's dad. Sorry dude but like your daughter deserved way better than no communication that's just. Negative standard. AND WE do not send kids back to neglecting and abusive parents I get so heated over this

If all f1 contracts were to end tomorrow and you could build a new grid for 2022 where money wasn’t an object and there are no constraints on which drivers could go to each team (alpha tauri isn’t junior Red Bull, teams with Ferrari engines don’t need a Ferrari driver etc), what would your grid look like?

this is where I admit I have not yet known enough drivers to give a good answer, so take this as a half-crack and half-serious answer:

Nico Rosberg back in the Mercedes- [sniped, presumably by Lewis Hamilton himself]

idk how but maybe bring back Daniil Kyvat and/or Alex Albon? I just think they’re neat.

I still would like to see Callum Ilott in an Alfa Romeo, I just think he looks neat in those colors + I want to see what he can do with an F1 seat

I’d still keep Mick in the Haas if it was comparable to the old Haas before it became a backmarker fjkgg. I think he’d do well with a few years of cutting his teeth in a midfield team before moving up. Otherwise, Mick to Alfa Romeo because Fred Vasseur is good at developing young drivers/future champions (I think?)

Ngl, I would like to see a Lando and George pairing in the McLaren. I want to hear what the British commentators (derogatory) would say when you pit these two together in the same team, and also I think it would be a great opportunity for George to show what he can do in a strong midfield team and prove that he deserves a higher seat. 

Charles stays in Ferrari because I cannot physically imagine a better match of driver and team in terms of vibe. They are both insane/stupid, chaotic, narratively important, somewhat downright mythical, and exude feral bastard energy. 

Carlos has so far proven to be a good fit as a Ferrari teammate to Charles, but otherwise, I am saying that I would love to see an Italian (Antonio Giovanazzi) in a Ferrari again :3 (Also, two FDA boys in the Ferrari.......)

I would like to see Guanyu in a seat. Maybe Alpine, maybe Williams. He’s leading the F2 championship rn and it would mean a lot to me to see a Chinese-speaking F1 driver even if I ideologically disagree with China 💔

Unlikely scenario but like imagining Daniel Riccardo and Oscar Piastri in the same team makes me happy so...yeah :’)

Likely an unpopular opinion, but I want Yuki to stay in F1. I think maybe he got promoted a bit early, but one more year to develop on all levels would be good to see what kind of driver he really could be in F1 imo and...I just would like to a see a Japanese driver be able to make it? You see a lot of them in junior categories, but idk why they just seem to have a hard time actually moving up to F1....

Pierre to Mercedes intrigues me. I would like to see it. 

Okay, that’s enough thinking from me I have no idea how to arrange a grid

omg hai bestie 💖💖💖 ik ur probably sleeping rn and if ur not u should go sleep 💖 but tell me about the funky girlboss man with the eyepatch 💖

Omg u mean majima my girlboss malwwife dilf boyfriend girlfriend husband

💖💖 ok so actually in like Yakuza 0 and even b4 that I think he wasn't rly all that unhinged or 'im insane I'm crazy' he only adopted that persona after the events of Yakuza 0 bc he saw so many guys living their lives doing crazy shit and wanted to live crazier than all of them💖💖 also I think someone you love not knowing who you are rly and having to watch them find someone else does that to you 👍 he also acts kind of an idiot (he literally spent like a minute slamming his head on a desk to push a button) but I think he's still pretty intelligent nd just acts like that to go with the whole mad dog thing. And he has a daughter who is not rly his daughter but it's pretty clear he thinks of her as one is it's very nice seeing them interact her name is Yuki and I love her💖

Here's a pic chur of him he is saying this abt defusing bombs 💖💖💖💖💕💕

After watching episode 10 of the reboot what's your interpretation of Shigure's character? What do you think his goals and intentions could be?

hi and thanks for the ask anon! 

because of the way i am (an extreme overthinker) i’ll be unnecessarily extra with this response since i don’t know anything about your relationship with the series. i really don’t want to spoil anything in the case that you’re new to it entirely / watched the 2006 version but didn’t read the manga, but i still want to give my honest thoughts. i’ll put all things spoiler-y under a line break! i’ll also put tl;drs under each response in case my ranting is nothing like what you wanted to hear lol

// a visual break for your eyes //

so the good things is that whether someone’s fresh to the series or not, episode 10 of the reboot is definitely a plot twist even for viewers of the original furuba. i used to watch that show all the time as a kid and i remember the valentine’s day episode being something completely different–it was treated more as a side story featuring other members of the sohma family and was a way to expand more on tohru’s giving personality + throw in a lot of laughs, while in the 2019 version, it was a continuation of the ongoing plot that revealed more about kyo’s self-perception (especially in comparison to yuki), shigure’s darker motivations on integrating tohru into the sohma clan’s life, and still included some of the funny antics of the family (although much less gag-heavy than the 2006 version which was so nice).

i had actually never read the manga until right before the reboot aired since my younger self was always fine with just going off the old anime (read: i was lazy) so had a younger me seen shigure’s scene in this episode i would have genuinely been shocked because it would have been the first indication of him ever having malicious intentions whatsoever.

in the earlier episodes of the 2019 reboot it is shown that the usually fun and mischievous shigure can be serious and be the authoritative adult in the room (compared to his old anime version which was nothing but a jokester with a soft heart), but in episode 10 shigure was shown to be manipulative and cruel. the second mainly because of that scene where he prodded kyo in what could have been seen as a tough-love-trying-to-be-a-mentor-and-show-you-something-about-yourself-you-didn’t-know, but came off as a somewhat sadistic move to make kyo squirm and be uncomfortable for no reason.

shigure’s scene with hatori (LOVED THIS MOMENT) hints a bit at what his long term goal is. hatori helps the viewer get that both akito and shigure are scheming to take advantage of tohru’s relationships with the family (presumably kyo and yuki specifically since she’s closest to both of them and kyo was referenced a few seconds earlier by shigure in this same scene). shigure fills in more gaps by referencing something that happened when he, hatori, and aya (*SPOILER IF YOU’RE NEW* aka ayame who was revealed in the og anime) were all younger.

we the audience can tell by the wistful nature of shigure’s monologue (which i absolutely adored and made multiple posts out aha) that something about that vision stirred up feelings of affection inside him–feelings that his older self realized were a form of love. this love turned into an obsession (lol), and shigure seems dead set on satisfying this addictive yearning by obtaining said love.

the scene with akito at the end, and shigure’s internal thoughts that followed indicate that this eternal love lies with akito. going solely off the earlier dialogue, one might assume that either he’s going to do everything in his power to physically have akito in his grasp (aka have them be in his possession so he never has to fear anyone taking them away from him), or he will try to manipulate akito into reciprocating his feelings–or maybe even both!

tl;dr (spoiler-free) shigure, based off some mysterious premonition he had when he was younger, is utterly obsessed with the sohma clan head and will do everything he can to make them “his” (perhaps not exactly monopolizing them but definitely at least having akito acknowledge and return his feelings). he’s observed how tohru’s good nature has been affecting the two young sohmas under his roof and plans to use their relationship to his advantage in the politics of this mysterious af family, hopefully outwitting the family head as well. hatori is not a fan of this plan at all and shigure agrees that it’s terrible but he’s like well “i’m a trash person anyways!” so he doesn’t mind. the only indication that he does feel like his plans are morally wrong are when tohru offers him chocolate as well and he realizes that her charitable nature is endless and that she truly is just a good kid.

// cue my unnecessary response under the fold WITH SPOILERS based on the manga so bewarned)

*** i have no idea of whether or not you’ll be able to read under the fold anon so i’ll put the end of this (v long) answer here: hope you got something out of my interpretation and enjoy the rest of furuba! always feel free to reach out about whatever ***

so for whatever reason, be it a warped personality or pure infatuation, young shigure actually responded positively to the dream he and the other sohmas had when they became tied to akito through their zodiac spirits’ default loyalty. he actually aims to preserve that feeling of absolute belonging with akito, claiming them as his most beloved.

i found this tragically beautiful tbh bc shigure was the sole sohma to transform something that caused the rest of the family pain into something that brought him fulfillment. loving something is a very powerful thing and he made it so that he would always be by akito’s side in terms of his loyalties. (which is incredibly kind considering her own tragic circumstances–she has done terrible things but was raised under abuse herself and was isolated from the rest of reality.) i found it sad because he was in unrequited love for years but was stubborn to his ultimate end goal resulting in a back-and-forth relationship of manipulation/ monopolization/sex revenge with akito when someone else would have just given up on the possibility of the relationship working out. i almost used the term “sane person” but while shigure may have an insidious nature, his love for akito isn’t insane, yes it’s toxic but he actually did fall in love with her, it wasn’t unfound and coming from nowhere.

he’s seen how tohru has managed to get kyo and yuki to look at the bigger picture in terms of their relationships with people in general as well as how they see themselves as pets of the sohma name. he himself enjoys her balm-like effect on people (being part of a hellish household probably makes a sweet girl who does everything to care for others whether that be through chores, food, or cheering up seem like an absolute saint), but he–and akito–know that having a card around to mess with the workings of the sohma clan is all too important to have. especially since shigure’s main intent is to overthrow everything the family is about, not to be a part of the “good morals brigade”, but to get a hold of the person he wants to have so dearly.

he knows that akito is aware of his attraction, that doesn’t mean she understands the sincere love behind it. she sees it as an effect of their zodiac relationship/part of her delusion that the sohmas are all pawns to fend off her loneliness and prove she hasn’t been abandoned. if akito weren’t the emperor and was just akito the person, then shigure might have a chance of slipping in and making his dream a reality.

tl;dr (based on spoilers) shigure has had a bad case of puppy love for years and wants to milk tohru’s budding relationship with the sohmas to help his plans of destroying what the family is all about (blood feuds and lots and lots of drama), perhaps even ending the curse (i say perhaps bc i can’t think off the top of my head whether or not in the manga shigure did try to plan to break the curse on the whole family–i’m leaning no but my head is fuzzy on this rn). all this so that he can not only hold akito in his arms, but her love in his hands, so she’s truly “his” to have.

happy furuba watching anon!
