What kind of hat fits sakuma?

i actually once drew him in a baseball cap before during my webfishing hyperfixation phase (full post) so it's the first thing that came up in my mind.

there's also this art used in natsu bomber of penguin trio and megane as cowboys and i think sakuma is rocking his cowboy hat so much. i always get excited whenever i see fanart of him.

sorry for answering late i had been saving this ask so i can draw my thoughts but i never have the time to ^______T i also think he'd look very cute in newsboy cap too ahahah. thank you for asking!!

i just got to the FFI arc and i wanna believe sakuma absolutely rants about how much fudou pisses him off to genda during breaks

I find it funny when queer fantasy stories are written in a setting where homophobia doesn't exist, but there's a ~forbidden romance~ element coming from some completely different, fantastical prejudice. Like

"Son, I don't care if you suck dick, but no child of mine will be sharing a bed with a goddamn necromancer!"

kisaku for christmas

Why was episode 56 titled Endou vs Gouenji when it's literally a Kisaku episode. Whacks the staff with toy hammer

mister loveless, how do i tell the difference between "this work has deeper themes than the deceptively simple surface level story may let on" and "pinning images to a corkboard and connecting them with red string"? i feel like i'm doing the second one with this book i just got done reading, but i can't tell.

honestly there's nothing wrong with reading deeper meaning into apparently surface-level "what it says on the tin" narratives, as long as you can support them and be open to contention/criticism when you present your ideas. even if the creator didn't intend for those themes to be present, or most people don't acknowledge it, that doesn't make your interpretation automatically invalid and objectively wrong. if you're on, like, "the dark and twisted secrets of [cartoon for literal babies]" levels of theorycrafting, yeah, okay, maybe it's time to take a step back and ask yourself if this is really worth your time. but also literally all art is political and has the potential for infinite interpretation beyond the surface level - all art is shaped by the society we live in and the lives that interact with it, directly and indirectly. so pinning images to a corkboard and connecting them with red string is literally fine. even if it only means something to you personally. that's the great thing about art - it's both a rewardingly communal and highly individual experience!

I just finished reading just now despite already having this on two browser tabs because I'm forgetful 😂😂 I'm sorry!

This fic caught my eye because Saginuma and Genda are the combination I hadn't thought before, so I'm glad I read it because it gives me new perspective about their characters!! I love it, I rewatched Neo Japan mini arc last night before I continued reading

“Why do you hide them?”

Genda just sighed - deep and tired and pained - and Saginuma remembered the segment on the news. Beast Fang. He shivered at the thought.

“It’s… a painful reminder.” Genda held a tight grip on his comforter, still it did nothing to stop the shaking of his hands. “Just something I’d rather forget about. …It’s shameful.”

Saginuma blinked at that. He couldn’t think of a world where the proud “king of keepers” and “shameful” could exist in any proximity to each other.

Although, he remembered catching glimpses of Genda looking down at his hands with disdain in the short moments he had to himself during training. Saginuma had always chalked it up to frustration at his injuries, but hearing that word come out of Genda’s mouth recontextualized it.

His heart felt heavy at the realization, imagining their otherwise proud keeper carrying that feeling of shame. Something about it felt absurdist, like Saginuma was starring in a comedy skit written by someone who expected him to believe that Genda Koujirou had ever felt flustered or humiliated in his time on Earth.

Or, Saginuma sees Genda’s scar, and shows him his own.
