I hate how well the duality of Shinpei is handled between him being bat-crap crazy and being a sickeningly sweet husband

Yeah for real, why is he surprised, lol?

How did she not die sooner?
Her simping makes her for-

I understand your original points.
I guess I was struggling to think of instances because college is sucking me dry (T v T)
It honestly shocks me how virtually no one in the TBHK fandom is talking about how physically strong Yashiro is. She is a lot stronger than we give her credit for.
Haters will call it glaze, but I call it appreciation.
Now, let me make this clear for anyone who wants to be like, "well, ackshually--" yes, I know that Yashiro doesn't have the same amount of physical strength as Hanako---of course she doesn't. Hanako, despite having the build of a stick, is capable of taking down entities twice his size with just his willpower and a knife.
Hanako has obviously had more than enough time to adapt to the world around him and thus got adequate fighting skills as a result of that. No question that Yashiro obviously is not on the same physical wavelength. But y'all aren't going to gaslight me into saying that Yashiro can't throw hands.
Sure, we can argue that some of these moments were for comedic effect, but I don't think it downplays her feats here. She might not have Isekai level fighting skills, but she knows how to get rrready to rrrumble.
Heck, from the very start when her and Hanako's bond was first officialized by the mermaid scale, Hanako teases her (like the jackoff he is) and Yashiro responds by elbowing this nickel clean in the NECK. In fact, she elbows him so hard, it KNOCKS him over into the DESKS.
Yes, we could also argue in this moment that Yashiro didn't mean to actually hurt him since she didn't know she could touch him. But the fact she even still threw hands at him says quite a bit to me.
In fact, the added notion that she thought she COULDN'T harm him makes it more effective in displaying her strength in being able to fully topple this boy over. Because if that's what she was gonna do ironically, how strong would she be if she were to seriously throw hands? (Don't worry, that question is answered later in this post)
Yashiro since then continues to throw hands with Hanako whenever he gets on her nerves. She beats on Hanako nearly every other crescent moon, but Hanako deals with it because he's a masochist. There's no other explanation I can provide for why he lets her do this stuf to him.
There's no way he's NOT actively letting her hurt him with the amount of physical strength Hanako clearly has and has been shown to have (this dude won a fight against floating scissors in the Misaki Stairs, for crying out loud---)
Did we forget that time in the spinoff manga where she managed to pin him down to the floor with a MOP?
Or what about that time Yashiro heard him talk about her and so she defied physics and attacked from the side HEAD FREAKING FIRST?
"Oh but that's just her and Hanako's dynamic--"
Fear not, dear reader, because there's many more instances of Yashiro casually flexing her strength and agility.
There was a time within the Misaki Stairs arc where Yashiro literally runs and glides across a DOLL to jump up, then lands perfectly, and reaches Yako's yorishiro. Even Hanako was shocked.
Oh, that's not enough?
Well, let me introduce you to a (not-so) wonderful being known as Nakahara from Chapter 115, who pinned Yashiro to a wall and she (rightfully) responded by UPPERCUTTING HIM from the JAW, doing a FRONT FLIP across the guy's CHEST, landing on the floor perfectly, and speeding off away from him.
Comedic, exaggerated, or not, you can't deny that's some pretty impressive stuff.
I don't care what no one says, Yashiro can throw hands when it counts.
Just got done customizing the heck out of my blog and I'm so happy with how it looks now
It's beautiful :')
I can see the direction of this turning the mage into a very creative, intelligent, and/or whimsical person----or it makes them dumb as a rock, lol
"Well, it seems our mage now has uh...quite the mindframe now since the incident."
*pans over to the mage who's now attempting to eat a fluffy dandelion and choking on the fluttering seeds*
When a mage is badly injured, magic sometimes "fills in the gaps"—growing an arcane hand or leg. You suffered brain damage that would have killed most. Magic filled in your mind.
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
I'm sending this anonymously for privacy, but I agree on the Sesshomaru being... well... not good. I remember I got spoiled so many times regarding InuYasha and upon seeing Rin's first appearance, I felt REALLY uncomfy cause I was like "please tell me that's not the same Rin that gets shipped with him and canonically has his children in the spinoff" and sure enough... it is... and I wanted to just stop watching the show... but like... geugh... I'm just watching it for InuYasha and Kagome at this point... Sesshomaru is a good villain... can't say the same for him as a person though... but hey, I guess you have to have some bad character traits to be a good villain... otherwise you're not much of a villain...
Fair point 🤷♀️
