Who else wants to cry their heart out listening to "To The Sea" by SYH?? Who else wants to feel Yuki's song and Uenoyama's feelings and Hiiragi's voice and Shizu's music? Who wants to cry to a love song ?

Mafuyu, Uenoyama and Yuki could have been one of the most beautiful, badass and sexiest musicians polyamorous couple ever, but no Yuki had to go and unalive himself smh

#this is a joke btw I’m not actually blaming yuki for his death #uenoyama is gay for both singing boyfriends you can’t change my mind #that face he made listening to yuki’s song is the same face he made when he heard Mafuyu sing for the first time #mafuyu sato #ritsuka uenoyama #yuki yoshida #mafuyu x uenoyama #mafuyu x yuki #uenoyama x yuki #mafuyu x uenoyama x yuki #polyamory #given #given anime #given manga

Thinking about the tragedy of Akihiko x Ugetsu. I know he was kind of the "drama ship" or whatever in the fandom who wanted Ugetsu out of the way and for Akihiko and Haruki to just get together already. But I think that relationship was really central to the main theme of the show, which is that you can love different people in different ways, similarly that one kind of love while important to you can be unhealthy for you.

The main example in the snow is Yuki and Mafuyu who loved each other so much, but it was also a kind of unhealthy codependent love where neither knew what to do without one another, they were their entire worlds and didn't know how to cope with the emotional disconnect of their fight. Yuki thought Mafuyu should understand why he didn't want him in the band and Mafuyu didn't understand why Yuki didn't want him. In every other instance, they were borderline telepathic. That love was important and it was valid, it made them who they were, but it also wasn't healthy which is part of why it crashed and burned.

We rehash this with Akihiko and Ugetsu. Aki was drawn to Ugetsu, he was this incredible beautiful talented fairy, being around all that talent was addicting. He really loved Ugetsu I think, aside from just the drug-like nature of being around someone amazing, he kept trying to make the relationship work functionally. But, it was an Icarus kind of love because it made Aki feel inadequate. It made him feel like he wasn't doing enough and that maybe if he practiced harder he could do better. When Ugetsu got caught up in the music it made him question if Ugetsu really cared about him. Their different musical talents created a different kind of power differential that you might see otherwise in significant age gaps where one keeps wondering if they matter enough, (good enough, are loved enough, offer enough to the relationship, etc) and the other is largely unaffected until it blows up. Ugetsu knew it wasn't working but also didn't possess the ability to talk it out and figure out how to make it work because his whole world revolved around music, everything else couldn't compare. Again this isn't a "bad" love, when it started it was really beautiful and they were both really happy. But I think it's best demonstrated by the quote "We all want to be loved by someone in a way that makes sense to us" and they weren't able to love in a way that met the long-term needs of one another. They both loved each other but there was an emotional disconnect like when you love someone who likes to be hugged and you keep giving them presents because you like gifts and hate to be touched and they keep hugging you and you hate it. POINT BEING, THE LOVE WAS THERE, IT DIDN'T HELP ANYTHING, IT ACTUALLY HURT MORE THAN ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS THERE, AND THAT'S THE PART THAT MATTERS.

#i'm obsessed with tragic romances #the kind where people love eachother and it hurts but its there and you don't know how to love them right but the person matters #personally i really connected to the ugetsu relationship because of my gymnastics experience #I loved gymnastics alot but I didn't have the talent and it hurt to see other ppl who did just do better #it made me feel inadequate and it made me push myself #I loved gymnastics but gymnastics didn't love me back and I never found out how to do it so it didn't hurt me and I had to move on #Given #Ugetsu #akihiko x ugetsu #akihiko x haruki #mafuyu x yuki #mafuyu x uenoyama #meta #thoughts #tragic ships #love in a tragedy

i'm not talented enough (yet! i still have hope) to do this but i really, really need someone to edit mafuyu and yuki and uenoyama to labyrinth by taylor swift. It makes so much sense to me, and i really want content with that.

So I binge watched Given tonight and I just can’t get over the Yuki story 🥺❤️‍🩹

Sure, Uenoyama is great, but Yuki and Mafuyu were childhood friends, and I can’t imagine the amount of loss Mafuyu probably feels…

Hear me out. So, Centimillimental creates/performs the songs for the band Given. They've marketed themselves with a certain style and vibe that we now associate with the series and the band.... So, now, the song that Uenoyama completes on behalf of Yuki with SYH using that melody (from Fuyu no Hanashi) cannot be played by Centimillimental because it won't work with their style of music.. Right? I'm having mixed feelings about this but nevertheless I am so excited! This song will mean so much more than just Mafuyu's decision. It's an ode of youthful spunky yet whole love. It's a glimpse into the person Yuki was. Undiluted.

My roman empire right now is that Uenoyama completely understanding Mafuyu about his past about his trauma with knowing so little about it and never once felling jealous about it like when Mafuyu said that clock looks like Yuki's and when Uenoyama hugged him Mafuyu was about to apologize but then Uenoyama said don't look like you're going to cry alone when I'm with you he didn't even cared about Mafuyu bringing up Yuki all he cared was Mafuyu being okay and knowing he wasn't alone or when they were "fighting" and Mafuyu being scared that he was gonna lose Uenoyama too and saying if we don't talk something bad will happen again and Uenoyama going "I'm so idiot" and hugging Mafuyu tightly and trying to be there for him when things get rough trying to make things easier for him trying to help him heal even if that means completing Mafuyu's dead boyfriend's song and I love him for it Uenoyama deserves much more

Why do you think Mafuyu brought Ue to the beach to confess? I think this is why some think that Uenoyama is just a rebound because the scene was a direct parallel to when him and Yuki went to the beach even repeating the line “this looks like a good dating place”. Was Mafuyu trying to erase that memory with Yuki with a new memory with Ue?

No he's definitely not a rebound in my opinion, I really think he brought Uenoyama to the beach as part of his healing and grief journey and to show himself that he's moved on!

I think in some way, it's important to know that Yuki will always be a part of Mafuyu, not only as his bf but as his friend. I think when you lose someone in that way, they will always be a part of you whether it's romantically or platonically.

So the sea is a special place for Mafuyu but it's not because it's overshadowed by Yuki's memory, it's that his new love is something he came to terms with after singing Fuyunohanashi and that overlaps with his healing from losing Yuki.

That's my opinion! I'm sure more will get revealed in Given 10th mix!

Hi, I would like Given headcanons please! I like to imagine Mafuyu having a little sister who’s about 5 yrs old (the mom adopted her when he was 11) and since she was a baby she saw Yuki, Hiiragi and Shizu as her other older brothers. Could you also include how what happened to Yuki affects her and her meeting Ritsuka please? (◕ヮ◕)

Mafuyu's little tresor

Mafuyu,Yuki, Hiiragi, Shizu x Platonic little sister reader / Comfort and a bit of angst / Headcanons

a/n : Thank you so much for your request! Honestly, I shed a tear when I mentioned Yuki, but I love the idea! I hope this post lives up to your expectations !

The day you came into Mafuyu's life, he immediately adored you. You were the cutest thing he'd ever seen. And of course it wasn't long before he introduced you to his friends.

In fact, the week after you arrived in the Sato family, you were already surrounded by love. It wasn't unusual to see you together, playing in a playpen. But you spent most of your time with Mafuyu and Yuki, whether it was making little aeroplanes, playing hide-and-seek or playing jokes on Hiiragi or Shizu. You were inseparable.

Even though 'officially' you only had one older brother, Mafuyu, in reality you had 4. On one particular day, the weather was perfect for playing in the park. Shizu and Hiiragi were fighting over a toy while Yuki and Mafuyu sat on the grass, chatting. You were chasing a beautiful butterfly that refused to land on your hand when you tripped over a stone and fell heavily to the ground.

Your cries immediately attracted the attention of the 4 boys who, in a flash, ran to you. "Y/N, are you all right?" asked Yuki, coming up to you. "Of course not, you idiot, you can see she's crying!" shouted Hiiragi. Mafuyu got down on his knees in front of you, "Can you show me where you hurt yourself?", sobbing, your little trembling hand pointing to your knee. "We'll fix that at home," Mafuyu said, smiling.

You found yourself on Shizu's back, your crying having subsided. When you got home, Yuki took you in his arms and led you into the bathroom, sitting you down on the toilet. Shizu grabbed a cotton pad and some disinfectant while Mafuyu pulled up your trousers. Hiiragi made faces at you to stop you seeing your little wound, and your laughter filled the small room.

The 5 of you were really happy together. The years passed quietly, and one day you were surprised by something that was, to say the least, surprising. Yuki and Mafuyu… kissing?! That was the day you found out they were going out and even though Mafuyu was initially afraid of your reaction, you were overjoyed. Because it meant you'd be spending even more time with Yuki !

But your happiness didn't last forever.

From one day to the next, Yuki stopped coming to the house and your big brother spent most of his time locked up in his room. It was the year you turned 10 that you learned of Yuki's death. And no words are strong enough to describe what you felt. It was as if your heart was being ripped out, then put back in, then taken out, over and over again.

You didn't know how he died and, to be honest, you didn't even want to know. The last thing you had left of Yuki was a photo taken years ago, when you were children and still carefree. That photo never left your sight, not even at school.

And one evening, when your mother wasn't back yet, you needed Mafuyu. You knocked lightly on his door, but there was no answer. You decided to go in anyway. Mafuyu was sitting on the floor, staring into space. Without a word, you sat down beside him.

-" It hurts." You say, staring at an invisible spot. -" I know." You rested your head on your big brother's shoulder. He put his arm around your shoulders to pull you closer to him.

-"Will it ever get easier? -I don't know." The conversation is slow, but you've never needed words to understand each other.

Yuki's death took you out of the world of childhood much more quickly than expected. The world seemed less colourful, the sun less bright. The death of one of your older brothers was your first experience of death. And nothing seemed to be able to soothe your heart.

And a year later, you still couldn't accept it.

But after a year, you saw Mafuyu come home later than usual, his eyes a little less vacant than before. You're 11 years old, you're a child but life has turned you into an adult. You're happy to see life gradually returning to Mafuyu, perhaps because after a while it gets easier ?

So one day, when Mafuyu was still coming home quite late, you asked him.

-" How did you do it?" Mafuyu looked at you, confused. -What do you mean ?" Yuki's guitar was always with him.You approached the case gently.

-"How did you manage to get your taste for life back?" For a few seconds, Mafuyu said nothing, then he smiled at you, with that smile that always managed to bring yours back.

-"I'll show you tomorrow, okay?" You nodded.

The next evening arrived. You were in your room when you heard the front door close, Mafuyu's voice reaching you as well as that of a stranger. When you reached the entrance, a young man with black hair looked at you, surprised.

-"He's called Ritsuka, he's a friend from high school." Mafuyu said. -"Hello!" said the man called Ritsuka.

You waved your hand at him, confused.

-"Your name's Y/N, isn't it? Mafuyu's told me a lot about you. -Yes, that's me." Still a bit confused, you don't really know what to say.

-"Ritsuka's teaching me to play guitar, he's got a band!" Said Mafuyu, a hint of excitement in his voice. -Really? That's cool!" You say, slightly less embarrassed.

That evening, you didn't get much more out of Ritsuka, but you were pleased to see that Mafuyu seemed so happy to be learning to play the guitar. You felt a twinge of sadness at the thought of how happy Yuki would have been to see Mafuyu play. It's just… strange to see your big brother have a friend again, to see him get some colour.

And the weeks passed, slowly. Until one day Mafuyu came to see you in your room, to have a serious talk.

-"I've joined Ritsuka's group. We're having a concert next Sunday, please come." There was a lot of information to digest all at once.

First your brother joined a band, then he was going to perform in front of people and then he wanted you to come.

-"Are you sure ?" You say. -"You know, I believe that music saved me in some ways. I have so many things in me that I can't say or simply express. I'm not good with words but playing made it possible to bring out things that I thought I had locked away inside me forever. I would like you to find your outlet too." Mafuyu said, looking you straight in the eyes. -"Okay, I'll come." And the smile Mafuyu gave you was a smile you hadn't seen in 2 years.

Night of the concert

You were lost in the mass of people at the entrance. There were really a lot of people.

-“Y/N?!” This voice… Hiiragi! You turned around abruptly, meeting the gaze of an older brother you hadn't seen in a long time. Without thinking another second, you ran into his arms, bumping into a few people in the process, tears ready to fall at any moment.

-"I missed you so much…" You say, face buried in his chest, his arms instantly closing around you. -"I missed you a lot too, little sister.." And you couldn't hold back your tears any longer. “Look who’s here too.” You turned your face slightly to meet Shizu's eyes.

You hugged your two big brothers tightly, letting silent tears fall down your cheeks.

-"What are you doing here ?" You say, trying to dry your tears. -"We came to see Mafuyu sing." Shizu replied, still keeping you in his arms. “Stay close to us, there are a lot of people here.” He said with a smile. -"Of course, I won't let you go."

Finding yourself in the concert hall, you climbed on Shizu's shoulders so you could see something, like when you were kids.

(please go see the concert, I always cry and it breaks my heart but it's so powerful)

When Mafuyu's voice rang out, it was as if your heart had just stopped because you knew, you knew who he was talking about.

Images of Yuki, Mafuyu and you come back to you, the moments when you laughed, when you slept together, when Yuki took you in his arms because you were too tired to walk home.

You miss him, you miss him so much that you barely notice the tears running down your cheeks, all you see is Mafuyu.

And Yuki.

But Yuki is no longer here, he will never be here again.

So we must move forward and live, live so that he never fades.

You found your outlet.

A year later

-"Give it to me !" You shouted at Ritsuka who was holding up a bag of candy that you wanted.

Mafuyu and Ritsuka's laughter echoed through the apartment. Another year had passed. A year where you learned to live again, little by little. You saw your big brother fall in love with someone else and it would be a lie to say that it was simple at first. You felt like you were betraying Yuki by thinking that you were happy for Mafuyu and Ritsuka.

You often looked at this photo of the 5 of you as children. But as the seasons pass, sadness takes up less and less space in your heart.

The sun seemed to be shining again.

Hey I'm really sorry for adding passages but I was very inspired haha, if you don't like it I can do it again for you 100% without any problem, I was very happy to write that even if review the concert made me cry haha. Thank you very much again for your request!

See you <3
