I Love how this is a POV of This Scene from Chapter 108
tbhk official art but it's my favorite matching art
bonus
I could've added them with their matches but having rows of three instead of two would've pissed me off

One of the cutest aspects about the direction of Yashiro's character in the newer chapters is how much she's openly simping for Hanako. We even get a glimpse into how Yashiro actually views him.
In the beginning, Yashiro was dead-set on only getting with the hottest of hot guys---the whole prince charming type. In fact, this is why she was obsessed with Teru for quite a bit.
But as of chapter you-know-who, there's very clearly a distinction between how the series/other people portray and see Hanako versus how Yashiro views him.
Throughout all the bullcrap these two go through, Yashiro realizes she can't keep her feelings buried anymore (though, I don't see why you would when you literally fight your way through this world's version of hell just to get to this dude, but I digress) and goes all in with acknowledging she wants nothing more than to be with Hanako.
Heck, even when her former crush, Nakahara was (creepily) hitting on her (actually, he was harassing her), she wanted nothing to do with him because Nakahara wasn't Hanako. It literally takes her a few seconds for her to even remember who he is because that's how insignificant he is in comparison to the one and only toilet ghost.
As she runs away from him due to his downright creeptitude (which ironically enough, smartly shows that he wouldn't have even made a good partner anyway so it was actually a good thing he rejected her), she reflects on how she DID want to confess to someone, but it wasn't to him---it was---say it with me: HANAKO--
And the best part from her reflecting on how she wanted to confess to him, it goes back to that part where he was with her in the stage where they'd be holding the performance for the Wizard of Oz. See how the series objectively portrays him versus how Yashiro sees him?
Yashiro is no longer concerned with any prince charming because in her eyes, Hanako IS exactly THAT. From what she originally saw as this snarky boy in a hat, she now sees him as the most handsome because of who he is and what they've both been through together.
He looks more attractive to her because of the fact she recognizes the bond she has with him and wants nothing more than to delve deeper into it.
As messy as these two are, I will say this: AidaIro are MASTERS at subtext and tugging my heart strings.
Nene after the severance probably
girl take ur meds!!! Now!!!
free my boy he did it all but i forgive him
hi tbhk community i have been trying to list tbhk characters as undertale souls and im abit struggling, i need a little help
mitsuba im conflicted between perseverance and determination, same for yako
kou theres also conflict between bravery and determination
nene?? its kinda hard, bravery works aswell, kindness too but integrity also fits alot?
im also conflicted on the others, the hardest to find out about are the one in the grey list.. so i'll love a little help!!!
I will never get over how utterly absurd Hanako's fantasies about Yashiro are. As...Hanako-esque as they are, I think it's somewhat cute how Yashiro is still the most beautiful girl to him. We don't really see him fantasize about anyone but her.
(Hanako for real said, "I'd let her buy me," I can't---)
That's not even talking about how quickly he FOLDS whenever she does take charge
At this point, Hanako just wants Yashiro to overpower him, that's it

Protection and care 🩷
Me every Sunday:
The thoughts:
I really like revisiting the earlier chapters after reading the newer ones because it helps give new perspective on the earlier interactions of these two.
The way how Hanako speaks to Yashiro, even from the beginning of their partnership, is so cute and sweet in a way I don't know how to explain. Sure, he's definitely still a jerk at times, but the general manner in which he interacts with her makes me smile like an idiot.
I like how he's not even angry or too upset with her, he's simply like, "Stop the cap. Just fess up and I'll help."
