Fleurcake - Yumi

Hello, this is yumi ♡

19, she/her, brown.

Things happened so my old acc died at over 200 followers (rip) so i made this one and changed my ideas on what I’m going to post. Please follow me if you enjoy discussing different forms of media or want to find things (songs, books, anime, etc..) befitting to your taste.

I love you :)

i know ive talked about this before but i really just do not understand where people get the idea that griffith never cared about the hawks or sacrificed them for personal power. like. its pretty clearly spelled out that he feels extreme guilt over every hawk that dies under his command and that guilt is what the godhand play on to convince him to sacrifice. they show him the bodies of the people who have died following him and his dream and tell him that the only way to not have their sacrifices be in vain is to sacrifice the remaining hawks and achieve his dream. he doesnt sacrifice the remaining hawks because he doesnt care about them or because he wants the power that comes with being a member of the godhand. he does it because if he doesnt, every other death meant nothing. and thats not even getting into guts specifically and how griffith's emotions towards him play into his decision because thats a different can of worms and i already wrote enough here lmao

I don’t like hearing some of Toji’s fans out because some of them just talk about his fanon version. but i love seeing people like this it’s so cute to see someone love their fav like this especially since its Toji i get it i get it

I wanna hear your rant lol Toji enthusiasts let’s be friends 🎀

Yall dont understand i am a Toji defender for LIFE. I could go on for hours about his character, hes SO misunderstood, i love him so much. Literally my comfort character, my favorite character ever, i completely respect anyone who dislikes him for the things hes done but i will not back down from talking about his character and him as a whole every chance i get. My tiktok is Toji centered. My insta is too. I am building a merch collection of him that will undoubtedly take years because of how shitty my job pays. 99% of the edits i make are of Toji and/or Mamaguro, it physically makes my heart hurt when people mischaracterize him so hard or just dont know anything about him (even the obvious things). I love Toji, always will, literally the #1 Toji lover, i will cry of happiness if anyone let me rant about him, i could go on forever. They could never make me hate you Toji 😞

CSM rant. The tragedy of the Hayakawa family

The tragedy of Aki Hayakawa was not only his own, but also Denji's own suffering. What Makima did was to raise a dog. What She did was to build a foundation in which Denji could grow, flourish as a human being, using both Aki and Power as the core of this little dysfunctional rag tag trio, only to rip that away in the cruellest way possible. Destroy his home in front of his eyes, by his own hand.

Home is a person. Aki Hayakawa was already a gaping hole of loss and grief. And Power had no sense of what human connection feels like. They Worked as a perfect beat for Denji to bite into. For Makima, Denji was a dog and Power and Aki were the meat of an animal you fattened up to kill and feed the dog.

What was more disturbing is that, not only did she used Denji's own vulnerability against him, but also Aki and Power’s. She meticulously played her cards and chose those two as they work the best. When you are lonely for such a long time you simply try to grapple with whatever you can get your hands on. For Aki however, it was rather peculiar. He never really managed to cope with his loss. Which led it to fester and rot silently. He chose to keep the wound tender and burning as it would simply fuel his single minded death parade to kill the gun devil. But what he didn't expect was for him to feel so profoundly for each and everyone around him, he was still just a guy. He chose to build walls around himself, wear his cold anger on his face, to put on that unapproachable facade that led people to view him as a stoic jerk. But what he also wore was his heart on his sleeves. And somehow, some people choose to stick with him. Himeno being a prime example. The thing is, he lets people in without realising it. Because somewhere in him, he carves the connection.

And Denji, despite not looking like it, is highly sensible and empathetic when it comes to forming bonds and connection with people. It goes beyond his horniness but rather something that his teenage self also carves, the need for nurture and for a shoulder to lean on. Which is exactly what Aki is. He is stoic, he is a perfectionist and he knows how to take care of and nurture someone and to simply put, he is everything Denji needs in a guardian.

I guess I really want to talk about his sublit but prominent suicidal tendencies too. But let's save that for later.

With Power, it's something else but also not so different. The thing is, fiends also have empathy and feelings, they aren't exactly the heartless nightmare fuel that are often their devil counterpart. Power is kind of a different case then Denji and Aki. In where Denji chooses to shut his brain in order to make himself feel at home, and Aki simply ( trying ) to give his middle finger to establishing connection ( and failing to do so miserably ) Power is surprisingly open about it. She lets her emotions control the best of her. She is willing to bash Denji’s head open and probably get herself killed just to save her cat. And that openness is something that both Aki and Denji get more and more comfortable in. Power is selfish, she's a brat, but she cares. With her you don't have to pretend as she also has nothing to hide.

But Makima actually failed to fathom exactly how DEEP this connection between those three ran. And definitely not the outcome it will lead to.

And Denji himself as a person. Makima underestimated him a big time.

It's lowkey a fucking rant. I needed to proceed with the absolute psychological fuckary Makima dumped on those three unfortunate individuals. So yeah. It's kinda 'yap without any closure on sight ' kinda rant.

"i wanna do this with you" is a love language 🫀
