If This Is Cringe, Then My Art Is Eldritch Beyond Belief. For Real Though, The Art Is Real Nice.

Canderemy from Phineas and Ferb is what Adrienette wishes it could be.

I said what I said.

New Theory: Mr. Crawling is actually Shinpei who got stuck in the other world---and Adami reminds him of Satoko.

i just remembered seeing a fanart of mr. crawling on twt of him in a what-if of what his life was like before he became a ghost and it's him depicted as like a bodyguard kind of like samurai.

and then it reminded me of shinpei from firefly wedding/hotaru no yomeiri. someone who's also very dedicated to his partner (satoko) and would do anything to stay with her and protect her, much like what mr. crawling does with mc🩷

The 'frog' incident is still VERY up in arms for me here, but this does provide some explanation that I think people don't generally look into. I do feel very bad for him, but that's what I think it should just be---explanation and not justification.

I am glad he's a bit less of a weirdo than his manga counterpart (if you know, you know), but it's still Jinshi and he still has quite a LOT to learn about relationships (at least from what I know).

Honestly i feel like Jinshi's behavior and him being pushy when it comes to Maomao suddenly makes sense when you realize he's been basically a victim of multiple sexual assaults/attempts at such throughout his life (can't find the exact part in the books rn but it's mentioned that people have been regularly trying to sneak into his chambers due to his nymph-like beauty, and then there's the fact that people have been straight up sending him underwear made from their HAIR??? Like the amount of people we'd consider stalkers that Jinshi attracts is insane) + then there's the fact that his entire life anything that belonged to him was immediately taken away from him. Like. This man needs therapy, i genuinely don't think he knows how romancing someone works and how to deal with wanting to "have" someone for himself, like obviously he probably knows the basics of it but the way he's trying to flirt with her was probably unfortunately influenced by how people always acted around him

And then he's also trying to rush the romance because he fears he'll lose Maomao or she will be taken away from him

And then the fact that she's basically making all these grossed out faces around him and is treating him like a normal person - he probably feels safe around her

He's such a poor lil meow meow

Forget "Would you love me if I was a worm?"

Hananene already answered the question of, "Would you love me if I was a fish?"

I saw, youth, dream, and convert.

I am very confused and a bit perturbed 😅

I also really like it because Jinshi had apologized and taken accountability for making Maomao uncomfortable. Plus, the nature of Jinshi getting the ox bezoar is so cute. It's why I can't hate this ship despite Jinshi sometimes being a weirdo to me, because he does usually tend to make up for it with his occasional sincerity.

While everyone—myself included—is raving about the frog scene... I absolutely adored the door scene at the end...

She sees him for him and that's why I love them so much. I loved the introspection we got from Maomao about her not understanding and picking up on other people's emotions well... But in this moment, she said what he needed to hear most... And then, in true JinMao fashion, this serious and impactful moment of sincerity was interrupted by tomfoolery...

You guys don't understand how much I love the duality of JinMao... They have such a complex and nuanced dynamic—but at the same time, they're so silly...

I'm so tired of the 'bad boy' or emotionally stunted male love interests for stories.

I want a story with a decent guy who just so happens to like leather and rides a motorcycle while being extroverted and funny.

"That sounds a bit unrealistic---"

So is having a healthy relationship with someone who glitches just from trying to say, "I feel ____" so I guess we're both at a standstill here.

I love a dark and brooding love interest as much as the next person, but it's honestly getting pretty old. Vintage even.

Sorry not sorry for wanting more media with fictional couples that have healthy communication and basic respect.

Hanako's feelings for Yashiro, while cute at times, are very terrifying when you think about it because of the stuff he was doing and *willing* to do. At this point, I am just convinced he's one of the best possible iterations of a yandere we could have without it being overly crummy. As much as I ship them, oh boy is it messy.

This dude KNEW this girl was gonna die, so he makes an alternate reality for her to live in and tries to gaslight her into not questioning it so she does. Then imprisons her in a cell until the rest of the said reality is done being made.

And THEN when Yashiro (rightfully) calls him out for this, he immediately switches up and plots to kill her best friend and HIMSELF by having Aoi's lifespan swapped with her's. This guy was willing to commit murder and die as a GHOST. He was willing to die a SECOND time.

And on top of that, when Yashiro calls him out AGAIN for planning to kill Aoi as well, all he had to say was this:

"Well, I like you more than Aoi, Yashiro" LIKE NICKEL, YOU JUST TRIED TO KILL MY BEST FRIEND, BE SO FREAKING FOR REAL NOW, WHAT THE HE---

It's already bad enough how Hanako attempted to gaslight Yashiro into being in an alternate world. It's even worse that he then put her in a cell until the rest of said reality was done being made.

But wanna know what I think is the most disrespectful aspect of him putting her in the cell?

THE FACT THE INTERIOR LOOKS LIKE SH---

Look in there and analyze. If that ain't the most Temu looking princess bed I done ever seen in my life--

He's already went through the process of manipulating Yashiro and trying to imprison her against her will, but then he has the utter gall to put her in a room that doesn't even look good?!

And I don't wanna hear no excuses. Mei was able to conjure a whole universe with just a pencil and a notebook, yet you're telling me Hanako couldn't ask her to make a nicer room? At that point, that's just plain disrespectful. Even the Beast from Beauty and the Beast gave Belle a much nicer room.

"Oh, it was temporary" Okay but she's a human, not a freaking dog.

You're telling me he couldn't get her a room like THIS? (Well, not EXACTLY like this but you get my point)

Yeah no, Hanako, what the actual heck is wrong with you? (Everything is wrong with him, why did I even ask--)

Imprisonment is already bad enough, but to put her in the most ghetto looking room is mad work. If he wanted her to stay so bad, couldn't he or Mei have at least made it NOT look like a cell?!

And in the anime, it looks even worse. All that's in there is a bed with chains and boxes. Blud couldn't even be bothered to get her GENUINE FURNITURE!

"It's for your safety" my a---

This would explain why he's always holding Yashiro's hands tho

Hanako's Favorite Type

Say it louder

Actually, it's the shape of their legs, right, Hanako?
