Can I say how much I love how Ouran High School handles the rich boy/poor girl in love trope. 

Like I absolutely believe it’s discussions about classism and elitism to this Day still hold up! 

I will admit there is so much weird stuff in ouran😭, but we see the Handsome ‘Unlimited Money’ Male Lead a LOT in anime and I feel ouran gets a lot of points of the characterisation SO right, that a lot of other shows just don’t! 

Ouran does the whole love story/harem/all the boys want brown hair girl that we project on, trope. Like they do that, but they show that at the foundation, the root of all of it, those rich boys are JEALOUS. They aren’t approaching Haruhi with the need to protect and own her, at their core the rich are envious of her! Even though they have everything, they want what she has! 

Like we see in the real world with how the rich cosplay as poor! And say "ohhhh I'm so broke please venmo me for lunch" and wear their ripped jeans and strained sweaters and take pictures at the met gala with a box of McDonalds fries in their hand. 

The classist comments made towards Haruhi ARE comedic relief, but the joke isn’t on characters like Haruhi, the joke is on THEM. 

They are the ones who can’t do anything! They are the ones who are stilted and emotionally closed off! They are the ones who can’t make an instant coffee or go to a mall without help! 

THAT is why Haruhi is the center of this harem, why she is the one they’re chasing. They are jealous of her insight and world experience from living independently, from living a REAL life. That is her enviable trait. Haruhi GETS people! And they don’t. Their wealth has isolated them and now there is a barrier between these characters and the rest of the world and they have no idea how to navigate it. 

And this is the foundation of 90% of the problems/conflict in the show! 

The holiday ep when Hikaru has feelings because Haruhi reconnects with Nice Guy Arai? Hikaru says he doesn’t like this guy for all these reasons and most of them are like ‘he’s just some nobody from nothing who only knows Haruhi cause they went to some stupid public school together’. Like okay? Haruhi has all of those ‘bad traits’ as well but you still seem to like her?  

Because it’s not about that, it’s never about that, it’s not even about the love rival/romance angle (at least not completely).  

Hikaru is scared and embarrassed! He already was when they got there, when these rich boys crashed Haruhi’s summer to find out she is an employee here and she is working with her own two hands. This is not a break for her! And then he’s so worried when Haruhi and Arai find each other because what they have is so untouchable to him. Same background, same class, they can meet each other’s needs! And know the other's needs! And this is a chasm that Hikaru has no idea how to cross so he starts lashing out. 

And that episode concludes with Hikaru being told about Haruhi’s fear of thunderstorms, finally actually listening and empathizing with what that means, and then going to her and giving her the stuff she needs to deal with that problem (blanket, headphones, support, protection etc.). 

He has to LEARN that none of those poor people inherently know all this secret knowledge! They just care and ask each other stuff! You can ask Haruhi what she's afraid of and then help her with that! It was always this simple! Just because you’re not the same class as her and knowing her isn’t as easy as it is with people the same as you, doesn’t mean you’ll never know! Learn! Listen! Keep trying! 

Ouran shows their rich characters being hurt by their wealth. Their elitists mindset does NOT benefit them and they’re only narratively rewarded when they break out of it, THAT’S why the arcs are so good. 

(And also while we’re here, I LOVE when they do eps that show Tamaki’s character is actually a parallel of Haruhi’s. Tamaki grew up as an illegitimate child, hidden away in France with his mother. He knows what it is to not be at the top of the food chain, and he learns the skills to keep living! Tamaki is a survivor in a world run by a man who was ashamed of him and did not want him. That can destroy a child, but Tamaki doesn’t let it. He learns how to work people and he learns that belief in yourself is the most powerful asset someone can have. And this is the life experience he imparts onto Kyoya and this SAVES Kyoya, who was barreling towards a black pit of despair and chasing his father’s shadow. The ‘poor’ characters of this show have power that the rich people desperately desire, and in the end they learn that it’s not something you take it’s something you build for yourself.) 

#anyways yes kyoya and tamaki ARE the rich boy/manic pixie girl trope #ohshc #ouran #ouran high school host club #tamaki suoh #haruhi fujioka #kyoya ootori #hikaru #anime #manga #tropes #text post

Kyoya is funny to think about because apparently he talks about Haruhi enough that his dad knows about her but also from the looks of he isn't very like talkative with his family

Can you imagine going to family dinner everyday and at the most your dad talks to you about the family business

but then one day your intorvert little brother who only has like one friend starts talking about the commoner his club adopted

Similarities between two of the “opposites attract” couples of anime: Tamaki Suoh x Haruhi Fujioka and Jinshi x Maomao

1. The ladies are super smart on most things; all except when a boy is trying to woo her with their charms. They were also both “kidnapped” to some degree into a world they never would have imagined themselves being a part of.

2. The gentlemen are both flirtatious and make most every woman they come across swoon; all except they really want to impress.

3. Most times, when the boy tries to flirt with the girl, they either cringe or give them the look of disapproval.

4. When things don’t quite go the way they want and they hit a depressed state, the boys tend to find a good corner, sulk in the darkness, and grow mushrooms.

5. What the boys have learned, though, is the ladies can be swayed a little easier with things they especially like.

Haruhi can easily be swayed with yummy foods.

Maomao can be swayed with anything medicinal related and occasionally food.

I’m afraid I’m too much for you. I am too loud and too wild and too foolish to suit someone like you. I have too many feelings and I wear them all on my sleeve. They’re all for you but I don’t know if you want them. I might drown us both in a tide I can’t hold back.

I’m afraid I’m not enough for you. I am too blunt and too dry and too passive to suit someone like you. I don’t know what to do with these feelings so I hide them in my pocket. I can’t give them to you but they’re all yours anyway. I might starve us both on a meager plate I don’t know how to fill.

So let’s bring together our too-muchness and our not-enoughness and be perfect together. We will learn to swim instead of drowning and make a meal of every crumb. We’ll clothe ourselves in love—puffy sleeves and heavy pockets—and it will suit us well. The fear will taste different, because we’ll know that it was love all along.

#this post was written about tamaki and haruhi but it can be about your blorbos or yourself if you want #tamaharu probably seems like silly and shallow and even forced to some people but to me this is what it is #it makes me CRAZY !!! #don’t even look at me im exploding abt them #anime watchers…begging u to read the manga. pls #ohshc #tamaharu #mine

Is it bad my favourite Haruhi look from OHSHC is her first look in episode one? It's 100x better then...whatever she was wearing during the date with Hikaru 😑.
