tw: small discussion of no consent very brief, do not try and debate with me please just block me if you don’t agree. Also I’m using their first names if that’s okay

Personally I don’t think I would hate Noaka that much if it weren’t for the fact that the fanbase seems to justify her actions all the goddam time

“She knows she’s awful” Guess what that doesn’t change anything, just because you know your awful doesn’t mean your suddenly changed or a better person. She knows what she’s doing is wrong and she still continues to do it anyway

“Miki is worse” For the love of all that is holy can we stop bringing up Miki when it comes to calling out Noaka’s morally not great decisions. Yes Miki was completely in the wrong for doing nothing about Shouko’s bullying and than blaming Shoya in the present and yes that scene did indeed infuriate me. But honestly I don’t hate her as much because it actually feels like she’s trying while Noaka feels like she’s doing the bare minimum

“She tries to get better” Okay she insults Shouko with sign language, good for her that she tried to learn. She’s still pretty hostile and mean even with doing the basic decency of not attacking Shouko

“We see where she’s coming from” Oh goodie she only bullied Shouko because she was jealous, while yes an interesting motive doesn’t make her any better because she’s still hurting Shouko. Motive and intent don’t matter when it comes to effect and consequence

“She’s better in the manga” I read the manga and saw the basic things left out of the movie and I felt the manga made her worse. After attacking Shouko her response is basically “Shoya is gonna hate me” not “Wtf is wrong with me”. Oh yah and she locked herself with her comatose crush, let none of his friends or family in, and than (tw for no consent) kissed him in his coma and basically said its better he would be dead than alive if she could have him

And to top if all off she gets no consequences. Shoya was ostracized and bullied, and while yes from a place of guilt he tried to become a better person and earned a right to be better. I am not saying Naoka needs to go through what Shoya went through but Noaka isn’t even looked at weirdly for ASSULTING Shouko for no good reason

Basically I honestly genuinely think I would have liked or understood or analyzed her more if she wasn’t constantly let off the hook for her downright heinous actions against the girl who showed no anger towards her. Love this movie, Noaka just enrages me

confessions, part one

featuring. ishida shoya x nishimiya shoko (a silent voice) contents. canon compliant, fluff, vague comedy, ishida is struggling with asking how to ask nishimiya out on a date.

playlist. angel or devil, txt word count: 1521

note. I asked around a little. Tokyo does have a 12-foot Statue of Liberty? Karaoke dates are a way to get someone alone; never accept those first dates, apparently?

Ishida Shoya is many things, but he isn't an idiot. Sort of. Kinda.

Okay, so maybe it's debatable, but Shoya isn't stupid, at least not in the literal sense of the word. He's just...a little disconnected from this whole 'socializing' thing at this point, given that he had basically been a recluse all through junior high and high school, only recently going out on a fairly frequent basis with Nishimiya and her sister and Nagatsuka. It's a bit like he forgot how to socialize at all. Even now, socializing is somewhat awkward.

So, you can imagine how he'd work himself into almost a panic attack at the thought of asking Nishimiya out on a date. Yes, a date.

Shoya is very much definitely panicking. Well, internally as of right now, but he's a good friend of overstressing. He can already tell that if he doesn't do something soon, he's going to explode and Yuzuru will have way too much fun laughing at him.

Actually, that is what she's doing right now.

"No way, Ishida!" Yuzuru wheezes. For a little kid, she has an insane capability to make Shoya feel incredibly stupid. "You're freaking out because of this?"

Shoya wishes he has the same...normal attitude he used to have years ago for punching his friends in the arm when they betray him. Unfortunately, Nagatsuka is really kind of hard to be mad at. Especially when, despite his mischievous nature, he really meant the best. Okay, so maybe he found it sort of funny that Shoya is a complete blushing mess, but really! Shoya is sure that Nagatsuka only wants him to be happy after he nearly lost his life and everything important to him, et cetera, et cetera.

Well, that's what he tries to tell himself, anyway.

Right about now, it doesn't really feel like that, with the way Nagatsuka is giggling right alongside Yuzuru, having blurted out, "Ya-sho wants to ask Nishimiya-san out!" when Yuzuru asked why Shoya looked so out of it, distracted and speaking even less than he usually does. Now, look. Shoya knows he isn't exactly subtle. He knows this is expected.

He just really would like to not be laughed at by two of his friends over his messy love life, if it can even be called that.

"Listen, Ishida," Yuzuru begins, once she gets ahold of her fit of giggles. "My sister will literally jump at any chance to go on a date with you. That you can be sure of."

"How do you know that?" Shoya hopes he's not pouting. The blush is bad enough. The look the two of them give him makes him feel exceptionally stupid. "What?"

"Either you're really stupid or just the most emotionally dense idiot I've ever met," she deadpans. "Have you not picked up on it? Shoko smiles all the time—honestly, it's rare that she isn't smiling. But you do know that she practically wears her heart on her sleeve sometimes, right?"

"...she does?"

Nagatsuka giggles. "Ya-sho, she tried to visit you quite a lot when you were in the...the hospital," he says. Shoya internally winces; the slight blip is still a subject nobody knows how to approach properly. Shoya would be offended, but even he doesn't know how to. "Even friends don't...you know. Visit all the time."

"Ueno was there every day."

"Ueno is weird," Yuzuru chips in bluntly. "We all knew that."

"Yeah, but—" he stops, frustrated. "You all know she feels guilty still!"

"That's true," Yuzuru nods, sipping her cola contemplatively. The three of them are at a burger place, celebrating Shoya and Nagatsuka's high school graduation; Nishimiya's school doesn't hold the ceremony until tomorrow. Initially, Shoya hadn't wanted to go until hers, but she's busy with some last-minute arrangements regarding a special project her class is apparently doing, hence that Shoya had no willpower to stop Yuzuru's and Nagatsuka's combined forces.

At least it's not a real celebration. Shoya has been holed up far too long in his room all wrapped in his studies—according to them, anyway. Listen, he cares about the entrance exams for college, okay? But they hadn't listened, saying that he needed to get out more now that he was really, completely healed up.

"But, Ishida," Yuzuru looks far too serious for his taste right now. "You do know that she tried to confess to you once, right?"

"She what?" Shoya sputters, sure that he looks nothing short of a tomato. Nishimiya has tried to what? Her? Confess to him? Huh? "When was this?!"

"Uh...I can't really remember," she admits. "Before our grandma died, I'm pretty sure. But yeah, that's the time you thought she thought she was saying something about—"

"The moon," Shoya realizes, promptly burying his face in his hands. "Oh, I'm such an idiot. Why am I like this?"

Yuzuru snickers again. "Now you know."

"But, Ya-sho," Nagatsuka pipes up, "that's more reason you should ask her out! C'mon. Square up. Nishimiya-san will be more than happy to accept!"

"But what do people even do on first dates?" he asks pathetically. "What do I say? Wait, where do I even take her?"

"She won't want something overly fancy," Nagatsuka muses. Yuzuru nods in agreement and though that should relieve Shoya, it actually makes him feel even more anxious. He absolutely sucks at little things that have big meanings. For his entire life, he can't even remember a single moment when he ever said a simple 'I love you' to his mom without being prompted. He also has to think about it for literally weeks before he can get her a proper Mother's Day gift. "You've got to really strike her heart."

"How do I do that?" he asks again. "Take her to Tokyo Sky Tree, or something?"

"Probably not," Yuzuru decides against it. "It's romantic and all, but...expensive. You guys just graduated high school and are on your way to university."

"Yeah, I guess not," Shoya can agree that it feels a little generic. "Let's not go with any festivals, either." For obvious reasons. Not that they think Nishimiya is fragile or weak or anything. If anything, she's incredibly strong. Just that they would rather avoid giving her reason to remember bad memories.

"Uh...the Statue of Liberty?" Nagatsuka tries.

"Wouldn't that land us where the Sky Tree does?" Yuzuru asks. "I mean, it isn't a bad idea by any means. But still..."

"I feel like we're just narrowing our options down, in a bad way," Shoya mumbles since he had actually thought about taking her there, given the view and all. He has no idea why Tokyo even has one, but it isn't the worst idea. Although, as Nishimiya's sister, he supposes Yuzuru knows better than he does in regards to her tastes.

Predictably, he gets ignored. Instead, Yuzuru says, "well, I do know one thing: don't, in a million years, even try asking her on a karaoke date."

It should be impossible, but Shoya's face heats up even more. He throws a dry, balled-up napkin in her direction. "What the hell, Yuzuru?! How do you know about that?!"

She looks entirely too pleased with herself, smirking at him. Seriously, Shoya wouldn't in a million years even dream of doing that. Karaoke dates are just...no. Absolutely not. It was different when Nishimiya and Sahara went. This is a date they're talking about.

Shoya isn't as low as he used to be. He doesn't want to hurt Nishimiya again.

"You could do, like, a horror-date thing," Nagatsuka offers, as if trying to make Shoya feel better about that comment. Except, it backfires.

"Are you kidding?" Yuzuru snorts. "It'll be Ishida doing the screaming."

Shoya hates that he doesn't have a good comeback for that. When does he ever, really, when it comes to Yuzuru?

"Look, can't I just do something simple?" Shoya asks. "I mean, it's a first date. Isn't it, you know, better to start off simple? I don't want to overdo anything. Nishimiya already knows me well enough...and anyway, if she accepts, doesn't it mean that I have more chances to do something more?"

Nagatsuka points a fry at him. "I like your logic, Ya-sho," he declares, tossing the fry into his mouth. "It's sound. Makes sense to me."

"Hm, I think so, too," Yuzuru shrugs. "I suppose you already pulled out the trump card and saved her life. That counts for something."

Shoya shifts uncomfortably; he doesn't like talking about that. "I guess," he says. "When should I ask her, do you think?"

"How about when you see her tomorrow?" Nagatsuka suggests.

"Tomorrow?"

"Why not?" Yuzuru challenges. "It's her graduation. You're attending. It'll make her so much happier than she already will be. And it'll help make her feel better about having to leave the school behind and all."

"You have a point," Shoya pokes at his unfinished portion of fries. "It's just...what if I mess this up, too?"

"You won't," Nagatsuka says confidently. "We believe in you, Ya-sho. Really!"

He nudges Yuzuru, who shrugs. "Well, I don't think you're a horrible choice."

Shoya supposes that's the biggest vote of confidence he'll get.

yes, the rest of his misadventures in the romance department is coming up—i'm trying to finish and polish it! (edit: i have given up. i might try to pick it back up idk
