Hikaru having such mixed feelings about Kaoru's crush on Kyoya ranging from "this makes me uncomfortable and I won't unpack why" to "Kyoya is going to sell my brother to the mafia!!!" is the standard I subscribe to but I ALSO support his response just being (STANDING ON THE BED AND POINT POINT POINTING!!!!) YOU LIKE *KYOYA*?? A NERD?? LMAO???? and then humming the kissing in a tree song while Kaoru punches the floor in a mortified rage
I always assumed Kyoya had implied feelings for Haruhi after finishing OHSHC but then I saw a Tiktok comment saying "I always thought he was in love with Tamaki actually" and my brain fucking exploded
I reached what you would call enlightenment when all their scenes together played like a movie in my head in one moment
That makes so much more damn sense I was like oh my god of course he does
this implies that mori wears contacts/glasses… do we ever see him wearing glasses??
Yeah, this happened to my buddy Kyoya Ootori
I’ve never seen anything from the Ouran fanbook translated before (which is understandable since the whole thing is full of dense masses of text), so I decided to do a little bit myself! Here’s some stuff from the character profiles and Q&A sections.

*poor punctuation/grammar, what are capital letters again? :) mention of divorce, dysfunctional view of family, might not make sense, i wrote this while trying to fall asleep, therefore not proofread as i fell asleep, see that makes sense doesn't it?
i have only seen the anime, but ouran has taught me so much about the meaning of family. as a child of divorced parents, even though i am blessed to have always been safe and loved, family has always been a confusing, and borderline negative term. familial pressures and societal views have no doubt shaped my view of the institution of family growing up. according to (segments of) society, there was a formula to a functional family, and mine didn’t quite fit the bill. according to (members of) my family, the things I did should be based on the preferences of (said members of) my family, and the stress i faced was only collateral damage for the happiness of (or maximum peace between) everyone else.
thus, i deduced that my family were merely people who felt a moral obligation to love me; whom i was bound to love in return because of my own moral obligations. I wasn’t satisfied with this answer, because if my family were merely people i was biologically related to, why are morals at play? the only explanation was that the term “family” meant obligations, expectations and responsibility. an obligation for your family to love you, and you them, an expectation to do what those who love you ask of you, and a responsibility to act in your family’s interest. familial love came with such strings attached. if that were the case, wouldn’t we all be better off without family? no strings attached, free to do as we please. it was harsh, but that’s how the world works, isn’t it? the only problem was that even I didn’t fully believe in this black and white world i created in my mind.
the high-society families in ouran matched my understanding of family perfectly. obligations, expectations, responsibility. the family that encapsulates this in its entirety is none other than the ootoris: kyoya, as the third born son — obligations — has to do more than his brothers to please his father, yet should not outshine his brothers — expectations. That would be overstepping his role. his father frowned upon his involvement in the host club — responsibility. He should have prioritised his family’s preferences over his own and acted in the interest of his family. he accepts the burden of being an ootori, just as I accepted my own loaded definition of family, until we met tamaki.
So... I watched Ouran High School Host Club.
Opinions are:
-It could be renamed to Rich Theatre Kids and Normal Human Haruhi and I would not see anything wrong with it.
-Mori is hot. Kyouya is hot. Tamaki is adorable i want to punt him.
-Hitachiin Twins are absolutely ridiculous i want to throw them into the stratosphere. Honey is elderly.
-Haruhi is an icon. She's pulling all the bitches here.
-Tamaki is lovable I want to toss him off a cliff gently.
-Kyouya plays chess, Tamaki eats the pieces.
-Kaoru is oddly philosophical and Hikaru is in denial.
-Kyouya, Tamaki and Haruhi are Gaslight, Gatekeep and Girlboss. In that order.
-they're all fruity asf.
I'm feeling generous today. Reblog for a compliment from the king of the host club!
OOC: I'm looking for more fluffy RP stuff for a change (TamaRP slander is fun, but I need a change of pace). Other RP accounts, please interact! /lh, nf
My headcanons for ohshc queer identities because where else am I going to put it (spoiler: they're all aspec)
Haruhi: any pronouns, probably doesn't really label their identities much. Maybe apagender, as she genuinely just doesn't care how her gender is seen as or what pronouns people use. They're not particularly interested in relationships sexual or romantic but isn't necessary opposed either.
Hikaru: he/they, occasionally she/her. Genderfluid, baby. Interested in romance as a concept but doesn't really want a relationship, doesn't care about sex.
Kaoru: they/them, also genderfluid. They're romance and sex repulsed when it has anything to do with them, but has tertiary attraction to masculine people, not necessarily just men.
^ the twins were absolutely integral in finding each other's identities. I think Kaoru probably knew more terms from the start but Hikaru became pretty well versed as well.
Kyoya: he/him, literally does not care about romance or sex at all, but still identifies as bi. He's open to a relationship of some sort but it's not really anywhere near the top of his priorities.
Tamaki: he/him, gender nonconforming KING. This boy is so demiromantic, but still an absolute flirt. Haruhi definitely the person that made him realize oh I can actually fall in love, regardless of if they ever actually get together. Sure I guess he likes sex idk and I don't really care
Hunny: probably doesn't really care about pronouns, everyone usually uses he/him and he's fine with that. Doesn't care to label a gender either. I think Hunny is aroace with very strong tertiary attraction, and wants a long term committed relationship that's not romantic or sexual.
Mori: I don't really have any strong headcanons about his gender tbh. He just kinda is. Maybe no pronouns which in that case I would be misgendering my headcanon. Idk. Anyway I think Mori doesn't particularly care for romance or sex but if he really cares about them he doesn't mind it, he's just glad to make them happy. Also would like some kinda long term partner
Ranka: he/she, trans woman. In the canon it's not super clear if she's a drag queen or trans, I say both. Identities as a woman but still like masculine terms like being called Haruhi's father. I can't remember the term for the life of me but he's the aspec that falls in love once in his entire life.
Benibara: she/they, aromantic polyamorous lesbian with tertiary attraction. Is this even headcanon territory even more
I don't really have any more strong headcanons, what do you think? I'd love to hear your own headcanons
