A more polished version of what I tried scribbling on a marker board after my partner asked how my day was…

[Image ID: A 3-circle Venn diagram comparing the TV series Haunting Of Bly Manor, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Fruits Basket (2019).

The overlap between Revolutionary Girl Utena and Fruits Basket reads “shoujo anime.”

The overlap between Haunting Of Bly Manor and Revolutionary Girl Utena reads, “WLW.”

The overlap between Haunting of Bly Manor and Fruits Basket reads “tearjerker.”

The overlap between all 3 reads “breaking supernatural cycles of trauma &/or abuse.”

Finished fruits basket and genuinely, probably one of my favorite shoujos of all time. I enjoyed every minute of it, the emotional moments hit with me every time. This will be a bit long so under the cut let me ramble about my love for it.

Only a series as well written as that could make me cry during a scene of a character like Akito reaching out to Tohru without malice.

I think something that makes the ending work so well, is the knowledge that ultimately we don't really find out if everyone ends up forgiving Akito. I'm sure in the sequel series they reveal it, but we're left with the knowledge that some of that hurt is too great. That Akito herself is aware of this and willing to accept whatever comes with it.

I really did enjoy the characters and couples we got, it's a series that mixes realism with fantasy well enough that even for the ones I'd normally dislike I was willing to give into the romance.

Kyo and Tohru for very obvious reasons will always have a special place in my heart. Seeing Kyo go from a brooding teenager to one who openly expresses his love for Tohru with genuine smiles and tears was amazing.

I haven't actually gone out looking for it, but I also know Kureno is a divisive figure in the fandom because to some people I think they viewed the series as almost completely absolving him of any blame. I think a major part of his story involved the fact that he was self sacrificial to a fault and it was a bad thing. He made mistakes like everyone else and it led to pain. His guilt and pity kept him locked in place and I feel like one of the major messages is that love out of Pity can be so incredibly damaging. I viewed his character as someone who got suspended in that time of when he was a teenager just barely free of his curse, incapable of moving forward for fear of hurting someone. Unaware that staying was hurting more than leaving ever would.

Ultimately I have no doubt this is going to be a series I revisit regularly to watch. Tears and all it was a wonderful experience and I adored every second.

#fruits basket #honestly i could write an essay on the themes of this show #how each character is so deeply flawed and complex but all have one similarity #a desperation for love and acceptance #something that can lead to pain and loneliness when you try to force it #molten rambles

Some fruits basket aus i would never write but sometimes think about out of morbid curiosity:

AU where Tohru is the cat spirit and Kyo is Kyoko's son

AU where Tohru never met the Sohma family and the curse broke suddenly and messily several years later

AU where all the zodiac animals are switched (Yuki is the rabbit, Shigure is the snake, Ayame is the cat, etc)

AU where the zodiacs ages are randomly switched around (Yuki is 19, Kyo is 10, the Mabudachi Trio are 15, etc)

AU where Akito actually fucking kills one of the zodiacs while rage-attacking them (maybe Rin or Hatori) and it immediately has Consequences

#this is tangentially relatedly to the last post #all of these aus would fundamentally break the themes and/or alter the characters #but by golly are they interesting to speculate about #fruits basket #tohru honda #kyo sohma #yuki sohma #tw: abuse mention #tw: murder mention #sage speaketh #au tag #edited for your convenience #(<-changed the wording on something nbd)

If I love a romance that’s the highest compliment bc I truly really do not give a shit about romance so that means that the rest is just that good that I love it despite the chunk romance takes

#examples #skip and loafer #skip to loafer #kaguya sama #fruits basket #bokuyaba #boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu #the dangers in my heart #like truly I realized idgas about the romance part in skip&loafer or fruits basket personally i would rather it not being there #not that it’s objectively bad ofc i know it’s not. i just do Not Care #im here for the characters and psychology and themes and all of that is SO good #moralgayness #animanga #fiction tag

I love Josh Groban as Sweeney Todd for the obvious reasons but also because my best friend has literally always hated him and ngl these past couple months I have been having the time of my LIFE

Then I found out Gaten Matarazzo is Toby

By contrast my mom and I are on the opposite end of the spectrum, we've always ADORED him so . . . you can guess what happened next

Afterwards, I sent her a clip of Gaten Matarazzo singing and we were gushing about how incredible his voice is when she suddenly hits me with this

So yeah the Sweeney Todd revival is fantastic, 10/10, can't recommend it enough.

#anyone got the casting director's address I want to send them a fruit basket #sweeney todd #josh groban #sweeney todd revival #please excuse the fathers day messenger theme with the boy on his dad's shoulders #she randomly changed it to that recently because it reminded her of Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej. and shes right.

MAN. sure wish I could enjoy shoujo without all the weird normalization of age gap stuff.

#not that shonen is any better #holding myself back from writing a 2k word rant #ive been watching fruits basket and inuyasha during my breaks and while working on commissions #and god #there are some moments i just “i do not see it” #its not even 'oh any kind of depiction or exploration of themes around grooming and age gaps offends me therefore it shouldnt exist at all #and more of 'maybe normalizing being groomed to your child target audience is kinda of a bad take' #sucks that i have to say 'btw theres like weird grooming stuff sometimes in it but otherwise its great' when giving a rec to friends 🤙🤙🤙

Trigun and Fruits Basket both adding to the pool of shows that I love that frame any tragedy or evil as true tragedy, and this is essential. The corruption of the life of one person is as horrific as the hurt and pain they cause to others, and you can still move forward with what you need to do and defending who you need to defend without lying about this. You can end a cycle without denying the pain existing at any point in the cycle, because good is a separate thing that can and does exist on its own without evil.
