unfinished list of things I love about butches:
- how they express themselves, I love the way butches laugh, that relaxed genuine laugh, when they smile all big, that sweet smile, it lights up the whole room and makes my heart beat faster, butch happiness brings light and colours to this world
- how cuddly and sleepy butches can be, and usually are, I love how playing with their hair makes them relax so much they'll be asleep in no time, I love when I'm doing something in the kitchen and they'll sleepily wrap their arms around my waist because they missed me, I love the hand on my thigh because they just have to be touching me, I love the hand looking for mine when we're out, I love how they just want to be close, I love the pure, gentle love that comes from butches, I want to be close to you too.
- I love that when they feel safe with you, you're their home and I wouldn't wanna be anything else, you're my home too
- when they get all flustered, ahhhhh, cute shy butches, oh my god, though I make my ultimate goal to make butches as confident as possible, butches deserve big egos, watching them blush is so heartwarming
- the little parts they think nobody sees? I see it, I love it, I appreciate it, the soft hair, the short nails, the gentle touches, the attentive look, the amazing skills! sometimes they're explaining something and they think it's nothing much, but god, that takes skill! You're so intelligent! I want you to know! TELL ME MORE, gimme special interests, gimme more about your work, gimme more about this skill you're learning, I love listening to butches, I could listen to all of you forever
- the silliness, I love when butches get silly, when they do it specifically to make you laugh though? Gosh, my heart 🥺 the dad jokes, the silly expressions, the cute little laugh ugh god I love butches, never apologize for being silly around me, I adore it
- The little gestures! Paying attention to me, noticing things I like, (always) trying to help, worrying about me, my butch insists on driving and handling knives and I let them because they show love 🥺
- How chivalrous and how careful they are, butches know how to make us feel like the most precious things in the whole world, my safest place is in your arms
- The way their eyes shine when they look at me and there I am feeling like the prettiest femme, because they're seeing me, really seeing me
a butch's gaze is so powerful in so many ways, it is a motivator, it makes me feel strong, makes me feel powerful, makes me feel so pretty, it makes me weak in the knees, it makes me feel understood in such a beautiful way, it makes me feel loved and wanted exactly how I want to be, it makes me feel like I can do anything because a butch saw me and noticed me for who I am.
- when they realize that I want them, that I'm proud of them - I want them to know how handsome, how hot, how amazing, how life changing they are -, watching them slowly act more confident, watching them slowly see themself as this wonderful person they are, watching them believe it, makes me so happy, I'll never stop hyping you up, you deserve it!
- going with the last point, another one of my favourite thing about butches is when they notice they're safe with you and they can let go, when they notice they don't have to be walking on eggshells with us and they can just be themselves, I love watching butches genuinely enjoy themselves, whatever that might mean to them, I love when all that holding back is gone and when they realize all parts of them are loved and wanted, tell me all about you, show me, I'm here to love you
As a femme, my goal is to do all I can to make them feel safe and protected, belonging, they can let go and I'll love them in every little aspect, vulnerability and all, they'll be seen and understood in my arms, cherished. I'll be strong for you when you need a break.
I love butches ♥️

This is a funny bit the anime added, but I think it's slightly out of character. In the manga, Kahaku's motivation is split between doing what the Guardian's want—keeping Fushi under their control—and actually helping people like Fushi wants, with a heavy leaning toward the prior. He starts out by saying that "the Guardians' Fushi" can't be captured, and then segues into his explanation that they can't help anyone if they're stuck. Kahaku doesn't think he has to hide the Guardians' goal from Fushi, like he does in the anime when he edits himself. That would imply that he's on some level aware that what the Guardians want to do with Fushi is wrong, and that Fushi would not approve, which we later see is not at all true.
The manga uses a flashback to show that in this instance, Kahaku is echoing Fushi's logic and making an attempt to follow their wishes. In his mind, what Fushi wants is the same as what the Guardians want, so there's no need to distinguish between the two (this, again, turns out not to be the case). It also clarifies that Kahaku is touched by Fushi's desire to help other people, and does genuinely want to help them in any way possible, beyond his responsibilities as the head of the Guardians.
