reread furuba ERM sue me #straightlove
everytime i think of fruits basket i get a tight feeling in my chest. it's such a beautiful story of overcoming abuse and healing. the sohma family suffered so much, especially kyo, yuki, hatori, and rin but they never allowed it to change them into terrible people.
yuki's development is one of my favorite parts of the show. because of akito's abuse, he was always scared to be his true self. He felt like he had to be perfect and never made genuine connections, but he was finally able to break free from that thinking and find his own path.
kyo and tohru's story made such an impact on my life. kyo suffered with his guilt and feeling like an outcast his whole life while tohru had to grow up quickly putting aside her own feelings for her mother's sake. they were able to heal each other and eventually fell in love. kyo's story, in particular, makes me cry to this day. he was a boy who couldn't help what he was; he wanted to be loved and valued, and it's only until tohru honda comes into the picture that he can finally feel worthy of love.
fruits basket is incredibly heartbreaking while also beautiful. kyo, tohru, and yuki will always be my favorite characters, and i will always hold fruits basket close to my heart!
i've been missing fruits basket so much recently. it really was such an amazing shoujo with so many layers to it. i miss kyo, tohru, yuki, rin, and haru so much. especially the trio...i really grew to become too attached to kyo, tohru, & yuki. it was such an emotional journey. kyo's storyline broke my heart. the slowburn was done so well. but also, the character development throughout the show, especially with yuki, was my favorite. the characters overcame their family trauma to get their happy ending...i just miss them so much.
How related are the Sohmas? Like how do none of them have that fuck ass chin and a club foot. This a serious question btw
Watch Fruits basket guys
It was such a beautiful scene
“The lingering chilly wind after the rain clears tells that winter is on its way. But the warmth in my chest proves that the light surely burns. Though it’s so tiny that it might go out with a slight puff of air, it surely burns.”

This is so beautiful....truly...
Fruit Basket (2019) EP 3 Candle analogy quote~ ✨
Tohru & Yuki moment where Tohru explains to him what what kindness is based on her Mum's words and describes Yuki's kindness is like a candle 🕯️
YES
Kyo: this is my girlfriend Tohru, and her girlfriend Rin, and Rin's boyfriend Hatsuharu, and Hatsuharu's boyfriend Yuki, and Yuki's girlfriend Machi
So true. I am so glad Yuki and Machi ended up together. They are totally meant for each other. And Mutsuki is just so sincere in loving his parents... I love them.
One thing I really, really love about Yuki and Machi is how they normalise being messy.
Often in fictional works, whenever we see a character’s room, it’s always tidy, cute, and styled in an aestheticly pleasing way that reflects a character’s personality. And whilst I’m sure that there are many people actually like this, for a lot of us, this is an impossible standard, and it can really feel like you’re doing something wrong when your personal spaces don’t look anything like the beautiful ones often presented in media.
Speaking as someone who struggles with depression (and minor hoarding issues), most days I’m not in the right mental space and can’t really muster the energy to clean, and I always feel extremely guilty and frustrated when I see the clutter around me, because to me it’s a representation of my incompetence and inability to function. So it actually does mean something when Takaya-sensei says through her characters that, whilst you shouldn’t let your messiness become a safety hazard, that a little bit of clutter and disarray is ok, even good.
So when I see Machi, who can’t maintain a clean room because of her mental health, I feel seen. When I see Yuki, who’s messiness isn’t presented as a character flaw, but rather, just a part of him and something that may even bring comfort to others, I feel relieved. When I see Mutsuki, who is actually proud that he inherited his parents’ habits because it brings them closer together, I feel just a little bit better about myself.
(bonus machi’s beautiful room)
