there comes a time in every dark haired glasses boys life where he realises that he must become mother

#for self actualisation or self depersonalisation or both it depends on the situation #(referring to watanuki lol) #(not that i dont think he would become mother otherwise i just think it wouldnt be trauma motivated) #anyway #them <3 #its not a requirement to be a dark haired introspective glasses boy but it IS encouraged #xxxholic #yuri on ice #yoi #showa genroku rakugo shinju #rakugo shinjuu

I've been a longtime Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju fanatic. The historical theme is so well-done, it's engaging, the messy queer vibes are immaculate. I also love Banana Fish for its grungy city ambience, heart-wrenching romance and suspense.

I just finished watching Monster, which to me felt like a combination of the two (plus several other elements of course). It's seinen but honestly you could have fooled me—Women characters play prominent roles and are written to feel so real. There are subtle feminist undertones throughout, and sexual assault is very, very rarely used as a plot point. There's no service, and bodies are drawn so beautifully. There is a sense of precision towards each character’s race, backstory, and personality that also reflects in their design, no matter how unimportant they are. (Kenzo Tenma in particular was so swoon-worthy in the plain, fresh, Ghibli-esque way.)

Highly, highly recommended. Go watch it on Netflix, right now.

(The animation is already spectacular, but there are also upscaled versions of the episodes available online somewhere if you'd like better quality.)

to be born and murdered by art: is there anywhere to go if not to the stage?

like the ones who were privileged enough to hear sukeroku, with flesh and bones, tell a story we, as the audience, were privileged enough to experience a long old tale of rakugo being born.

you and a rakugo artist, facing each other in a room completely devoted from an audience. there, he tells a story about the day he met the god of death and how he killed him, years later. his candle, still glowing, takes a form of a woman from time to time. what is he hiding?

showa genroku rakugo shinju not only tells a story about the beauty of an old art, but how human experience and relationships are bound to be laced from here to eternity. solitude, even as a childhood dream, would not be fair to the ones who made your story worth reading.

it’s about passion and life, never letting the flame go out. it’s about making past transforms itself in future, about the burden left to the ones who cary an old name. about humans impacting humans and changing their lives drastically, like it or not.

because what is tradition without it shares of tragedy? what is happiness to the one who only experienced grief? what is letting go of something that makes you whole? what is love to those unworthy of it?

sgrs not only teach us about rakugo: it is raguko on itself. a story to cry and laugh of, to sit in the same room over and over again just because you found your favorite voice. it’s about finding our own rakugo, even if we could barely tell a story on our own.

first watch of rakugo shinju: this is culture

second watch of rakugo shinju: character studies of super flawed characters are so cool and makes hating their actions feel so constructive. however despite this guy sucking as a person he also slays and thats beautiful

third watch of rakugo shinju: hey guys thanks for watching with me now remember that one line in the final episode is FAKE and STUPID. anyway this is culture who wants to see the world's most fumbled situationship get slowly patched up by community, love and healing generational trauma

fourth watch of rakugo shinju: i NEED to impregnate this old man

#fifth watch is a group bonding session on wanting to impregnate that old man #showa genroku rakugo shinju #it never stops being culture tho #especially once you realise you want the old man bad #foxiest bad bitch in the icu

Ok, ship ask but this time shoujo/josei edition... (just saw your top fav manga list, love them 🥰). What do you think of these ships :

Fruits Basket :

- Yuki / Kakeru (sorry I don't really ship him with Maki)

- Hanajima / Uotani (kinda dislike end pairing for Arisa, she deserve better)

Yona of the Dawn (don't get me wrong, I love Yona/Hak but I like these ships too) :

- Suwon/Hak & Yona/ Lili

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

- Kikuhiku/ Sukeroku (one of my fav ship, tragic yaoi, I really dislike 'that woman' that ruin everything for my ship)

Sorry if my ask got too long, you can pick whichever ship that you want....

Hello again anon!! Love to see you pop up in here and I'm happy to answer all of these lol 🫡

Yuki/Kakeru

Ship it

1. Not sure if there was one specific moment for me, but I think just seeing their friendship develop over time to the point where Yuki is able to really open up to a friend for the first time is a really compelling journey for Yuki!

2. I think it's funny how Kakeru is able to just piss off Yuki with his antics lmao, but it's also kind of a big moment for Yuki where he isn't pretending to play this "prince" character, Kakeru is able to draw the real Yuki out.

3. Hmm I do probably ship Yuki with both Kakeru and Maki, I like both pairings in different ways

Hanajima/Uotani

Ship it

1. Ahhh I don't think there's ever just a moment but these are the most obvious lesbians of all time ajaksldlvl. Love their opposite vibes but they way they both scare everyone around them and are #1 Toohru protectors is soooo funny and also iconic.

2. I suppose I answered it in the previous section lmao but I think there's such a pure love between them and the love that they share for Toohru they just look out for each other so well and their opposite vibes are so cool, especially because it's like no big deal at all to them.

3. Anon you're so right WHY DID UOTANI END UP WITH A MAAAAAANNNN. Technically not sbout the ship I guess but yeah I really wasn't a big fan of Kureno and her ending up together, felt homophobic 💀

Suwon/Hak

Ship It (Lightly)

1. This is like on the border because even though I'm usually a big multishipper, Yona/Hak are really It for me ya know. I also hc Suwon as aro/ace, but there is some real good potential with Suwon/Hak, and I'm sure this will come as a surprise (after saying it for 500th time ajslslf) but I'm a big angst enjoyer. I probably did ship this more than Yona/Hak at the beginning lmao, and then them reuniting and Hak still feels so hurt? Not just for Yona and her father bur also himself? Wowowowow yeah this ship is pretty good.

2. The angst potentiaaaaallll childhood best friends with maybe a little crush to enemies to !?!?@(#$)#)@*$*@! Goooood they're so messed up Hak is so hurt from everything but he also understands where Suwon is coming from and Suwon giving up that relationship with Hak in order to help the country?? How do you recover from all of these different feelings?? Very good food

3. As much as I like their ship potential it really is Yonahak today, Yonahak tomorrow, Yonahak forever

I'm going to kinda skip Yona/Lili cause I need to reread/catch up on Yona and I don't think I could give a solid answer on Lili rn 🤧 Do trust though I believe in bi4bi Yonahak 🫡

Kikuhiko/Sukeroku

Ship It

1. Everythinggggggg. From the start from the beginning they were IT. I don't even have like, a SUPER good memory since it's been so long since I've watched Rakugo, but god they really are the definition of soulmates (even if sukeroku doesn't realize it...)

2. I think just their journey together is so compelling, they complete each other and bring out their best but also their worst. Kikuhiko is too in his head at all times, Sukeroku is too impulsive, but the way that they balance each other personality wise and also in their rakugo is so enticing to watch, you can't look away from them. They walked so that other disaster gays could run lmao.

3. Yeah ok let's get into the ending lmao. I will always choose to interpret that Shinnosuke is the spiritual successor to Kikuhiko's and Sukeroku's rakugo not...blood related successor of Kikuhiko lmao. I think that fits the story and the themes and the characters waaaay better than Kikuhiko having Shinnosuke as his biological grandchild 💀 It's nature vs nurture in my eyes! He has the nature of Sukeroku because that's his biological grandfather, but Kikuhiko raised him, it's the nurture side! Why it was left open ended...hmm I think it's supposed to be a stylistic choice to reflect how one unravels a rakugo story? But yeah I refuse the other option for my own sanity lmao. Also also people always ignore/forget about Kikuhiko's struggles with gender expression and I'm sad about that :( so important to his character and his relationships throughout the story.

#oof if you end up reading all of thst thank you 🤧 #been awhile since ive thought sbout rakugo but now i wanna rewatch 😭😭😭 #yona of the dawn #fruba #showa genroku rakugo shinju #asks
