Not uncommon phenomenon is people watching Ouran through TikTok clips or Youtube videos which in itself is one thing but there is this side issue which is these videos are often mirrored to avoid copyright takedowns. So it leads to this amusing occurence where people will be like I love Kaoru (picture of Hikaru) and vice versa

Tamaki helping Haruhi up, winking at her, and calling her "my little rookie" when he thinks Haruhi is still a guy...I know what you are.

if you are willing. Please expand more upon the hikaru/haruhi/kaoru dynamic
This is going purely off of the manga; the anime never gets this far so if you’ve only seen the show then this answer probably wont make much sense. But the chapters between Kaoru’s realization of his own feelings for Haruhi, up to his decision to step back & let his brother pursue her instead, and the way he goes about communicating those thoughts to Hikaru in the most convoluted manner possible; I find those scenes to be some of the most captivating in the series. Hikaru and Kaoru have a toxic codependent relationship to begin with, and it all comes to a catastrophic head before it gets better. But it could only get better in part because Haruhi did not feel the same way about Kaoru as he felt about her. While Kaoru, Hikaru, and Tamaki all behave as though Haruhi’s affections are something malleable, something that can be won, they are absolutely not. Haruhi is in love with the person she loves, regardless of anything anyone else does, and that person is Tamaki.
So because of this, I always wonder what would have happened if the person Haruhi happened to so resolutely fall for was Kaoru. If that were the case, then she would have loved him regardless of his willingness to step aside. What then would become of the relationship between Kaoru & Hikaru? Like I mentioned before they are already in a toxic codependent relationship that comes to a head when Kaoru takes Haruhi on a (semi-fake) date. How much longer & greater would the friction be then, if Haruhi had reciprocated? How much worse would the fallout be? Kaoru has been the most important person in Hikaru’s life for his entire existence. Unlike his late-stage rivalry with Tamaki, Kaoru is someone he can’t walk away from when things go sour, even temporarily. It would be torturous for him to see Kaoru and Haruhi together. And it would be torturous for Kaoru to be in this position as well, with no possible answer that wouldn’t hurt both Hikaru and Haruhi in the process. I do believe that the twins would eventually make up and come together again, but it would be a much longer & more painful process than what happens canonically, both between them & between Hikaru & Tamaki, because of how tightly interwoven the twins are with each other.

is he a fucking kyoyapillar
i started rewatching ouran hshc today, then i went to read some tamaki headcanons, then i realised he is, more often than not, represented as a himbo (which, in hindsight, was probably crack, but i love him too much to not say this)
i feel like ep1 goes forgotten (guilty, especially with how problematic it gets later on). when haruhi was bullied by princess ayankoji, tamaki NOT ONLY went INTO the fountain to help her find her wallet (this nepo baby who doesnt know what “commoner” instant coffee is went INTO A FOUNTAIN), he ALSO KNEW it was princess ayankoji without haruhi telling him.
he’s such a genuine person. even if he doesnt understand what lgbtq is. or what poor people are. or what normal-status people are. but everyone gets confused sometimes and his himboness is such a facade.
Someone needs to make an English translation of this game
