SOMEONE TELL AKITO TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM TOHRU OR I STG
OMG I'M FUCKING SCARED WHY IS AKITO RUNNING WITH A KNIFE
but anyways....
CONGRATS MOMIJI I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, YOUR CURSE IS BROKEN
also why does akito look like a stray cat when momiji left her out sideđ
I feel like Fruits Basket had a missed opportunity to write a great arc for Yuki instead of him ending up with Machi. And I LOVE Machi and their romance is really cute but I didn't feel satisfied with that ending for Yuki.
When I first watched Fruits Basket I was sure that Yuki was supposed to be queer-coded and his arc about self acceptance and love was him coming out of the closet.
The reason for that is because of the way Yuki is constantly presented and the way he reacts to other people.
Yuki always gets mad at Kyo for calling him "girly boy" or "pretty boy".
He tries to put up at tough persona to try to appear more masculine.
He has a fanclub with both girls AND boys crushing on him.
Whenever he "flirts" with Tohru it would come off as awkward (I know it's because he considers her as his mom figure but still!!! And yet he has some unspoken rizz when it comes to flirting with guys tho)
Even his dislike of Ayame and not wanting to be like him was kinda him not wanting to come out of the closet (Ayame also gets a last minute love interest to make him more hetero. I thought he was definitely not straight)
It just made sense to me this was going to be his arc. Especially since Fruits Basket is sooo good at depicting emotions. I thought Yuki's arc was him overcoming his hatred of that part of himself and essentially coming out of the darkness that Akito had made him live in.
When the Student council members were introduced I thought Kakeru was going to be both a foil AND a love interest for Yuki. They just had that dynamic and chemistry that made it seem like Kakeru would change Yuki and help him understand his true self and feelings. I thought Machi was the quiet/ weird side character that would have a similar role as Kimi (comedic).
Then the whole Machi x Yuki happened and I was proven wrong. I didn't hate it but....Kakeru and Yuki just had so much growth in their friendship, I couldn't help but ship them.
I would have been happy with even a Bi-Panic moment for Yuki with Kakeru and Machi (who are both half-siblings)
Yuki just had the perfect personality and backstory for a good coming out arc but it never came to be.
(Ps: I am NOT hating Machi and Yuki's relationship. It's just that Fruits Basket had many opportunities to have gay characters but didn't commit to it)

Okay, I love powerscaling~
if you kin or simp for these 4 congratulations youâre my new best friend
WARNING: HAS SOME SPOILERS
1. Akito sohma
I donât know the first episode I saw her I was like is this love? WTF MAâAM LOOK AT ME. Iâm still salty she left me for Shigure. Season 3 fucked me up bad I love the Kyoru and Yumachi moments a lot but seeing Shigure meaning a manipulative bitch has me wanting to slap him.
2. Shen jiu (not shen yuan)
mfâs backstory has me crying tearing up print outs of Yue Qingyuan because STUPID QI-GE YOU DONâT HAVE 2 BRAIN CELLS DO YOU? I do not take criticism for kinning him go read his back story he only had qi-ge left in his life and YQY didnât have the balls to come thru and tell him. I will forever hate Mu QingFang because bitch delivered medicine late to Qing Jing purposefully. In general I hate all the Peak Lords except SJ (LQG is still funny at times so kudos for that) because they ratted him out ă˝( `д´*)ă.
3. Nie Huaisang
is it even a surprise this man is gorgeous af and bruh the amount of grief the resonated from him when NMJ died was enough to make me read and write canon-divergent fanfics where NMJ didnât die and NHS didnât have to suffer. Bro the fact that he revived Wei Ying surprised me and the bird scene the symbolism bro...... and yes he has a fan I have a thing for men/women with fans and green eyes. Donât lie Nie Huaisang had us all fooled.
4. Zero Kiryu
ever had a crush that just doesnât seem to leave you yea thatâs what happened to me. And yes I still re-watched vampire knight twice this year because nostalgia and I was bored. Big mistake. I was contantly pointing at the tv either crying or cursing out Yuki because bitch who leaves THE perfect man and goes to your incest crazy brother. Bruh and Zero still loved Yuki like bro.... SHE HAD BOTH THEIR KIDS (mind you I love their daughters especially Ren because awooga she gorgeous and is exactly like her father). So yes I have a lot of bad blood with vampire knightâs ending my mans died and that piece of shit still lived what you expect.
5. Seth (Ennead)
SEASON 2 IS HERE WOOH AND IN THE FIRST CHAPTER WE SEE SETH BEING THE SAVAGE HE IS. Anyways as the last 4 Seth has well a lot of trauma. My guy is too beautiful to exist so he got well........ Anyways great character development ISIS AND OSIRIS SUCK MAKE THEM UNEXIST. And would you look at that he got Zeus on his simp line too. Seth might start out as a shitty abusive character at first but trust me youâll learn to love him soon enough. His coping mechanisms arenât well working anymore and Anubis is hating him. Heâs a great father and husband no matter what.
 wtf why did you read all of this? You just wasted 5 minutes of your life congratulations. This is just a pre-exam stress rant if youâre wondering. But yea if you kin for any or all of them dm me letâs have a talk about them sometime.
Akito Sohma stans: I love Akito because of her complexity! She is so sympathetic character!
Also Akito stans: but it would have been way better, if Takaya cut out her beating Kisa and Momiji, pushing Rin out of the window and droving Kana to clinical depression
Jiang Cheng stans: I adore Chengcheng, he is so complex!
Also Jiang Cheng stans: Of course, he was justified to demand of his adoptive brother to give up the innocent boy, elders and the persons to whom, you know, is obliged to help! Of course, he did not tarnished Wei Wuxian's reputation more by saying that he declared himself the enemy of the world! Of course, he was right to disrespect his sister's sacrifice the worst way possible! And he was right in killing innocent people during the timeskip and letting the literal maniac go!
Reva Sevander stans: Reva, my baby! đđ You would be a true Jedi of Old Order!đ¤§đ¤§ And you did not forgive Anakin(who literally nearly ceased to exist as person, as RoTS novel clearly indicates)! Such a complexity!
Also Reva stans: *ignoring her joining group of fascist enforcers, for which is pretty normal to kill teenagers, who are suspected to be Jedi(as Ezra and Cal situations show), and abduct children from their parents(may be killing said parents), hunting down underground railroad-like organisations, kidnapping 10 years old Leia and attempting to kill Luke*
Severus Snape stans: Of course, he was wonderful man, and so complex! He would definitely be a good father figure to Harry!
Also Snape stans: Of course, he was not an awful teacher to his students and never bullied Neville out of pure spite and said awful things about Hermione when her teeth end up growing fast and causing her a lot of pain! And also, he was forced to join Neo-nazi group at school, pull a hurtful pranks over Muggleborn and call the love of his life a racial slur!
Edelgard von Hresvelg stans: Such a complex character! A true embodiment of Progress! Go, Empress! Edeleth canon!
Also Edelstans: So, we are gonna project Dimitri's good traits on her, make Claude a villain(with the huge OOC) to make her look good, tell ten thousands of lies about Rhea and Nabateans(including genocide apologia) and of course, ingore all of her war crimes and imperialism(with her erasing the culture of far more progressive Leicester and Faerghus)!
Me: So... Are you truly here for complexity?
