Me watching Fruits Basket:
What I thought it would be about: Oh it's a typical shoujo anime with two pretty boys falling in love with the main girl. I can watch it and be relaxed. And they turn into animals! Haha, fun.
What it was: Trauma, PTSD, Parental neglect, isolation, self loathing, self depreciation, depression, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, guilt, regret, grief, loss, heartbreak.
Now I need therapy.
(PS: as a girl who loves Girly media and Shoujo manga. I am so happy that this is a Shoujo that subverts a lot of people's expectations and makes you understand that Shoujo/Josei are NOT all the same as well as depict such a good story about familial trauma which is something we don't usually get.
I wish we could get more Shoujo/Josei anime each season 🥲)
I’ll Help You With It: Yuki Sohma (Unless You’re Kyo), Hatori Sohma
Yeah, Sure: Hatsuharu Sohma, Kisa Sohma, Momiji Sohma, Ritsu Sohma (Apologizes Loudly for Any Errors on His Homework)
Bold Of You To Assume I Did the Homework: Saki Hanajima, Shigure Sohma, Ayame Sohma

And here comes another Fruits Basket meme for (hopefully) your pleasure. This is my own template, blank at the end if you wanna use
Where is your fav located ? Do you have a soft spot for the hot mess(es) or do you prefer the unusually stable ones ?
The characters & ships playlist are going well too; get ready for a post about it soon 8)
Good night to you all in the meantime !
Hello there ! As promised, here's the start of my fruits basket meme crusade
I'll prob do more serious posts about it too (I'm searching a love song fitting for each couple specifically, or just character theme songs); but in the meantime I hope some memes will still be enjoyable to you all đź’›
(Akito here stands as her character before chara-development & atonement obviously)
Some of these are not just based on vibes but actually canon and that was fun to notice blblbl
my self esteem so low i dont even think im good enough for my favorite fictional characters
