Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
okay so I wanted to update this bc I had another idea (thanks to @/sakuraswifee's theory!!!! you can read it first to understand this better) that train to the far shore mention really got me TRIPPIN. it is so good.
anyways, so long story short, yk one of the reasons kou wants to be an exorcist is to help nene with her lifespan, and also for hanako and his brother BUT he doesn't even mention mitsuba, anything about him to his brother which is sorta telling especially since hes trying really hard to figure out how to help him become human.
and yk what's MORE telling? he ignores his brother's worried texts in favor of being with mitsuba. HHHHHHHUUUUUMMMM
but if we look here at the clock keepers arc, kou aged, which is a total contradiction for the mtsk dying together yk
ANOTHER BUT. tsuchigomori said that there was one kid who changed his future (amane/hanako) and it's not revealed how, and depending on what it entails, it could give this theory credibility or crash it down
and we have no backstory on why yashiro manages to be able to break yorishiros other than bc she's a kannagi (like is her family ancestry's kannagi too?) but it's the reason aoi and her managed to switch lifespans because aoi's a kannagi too, and..... the minamoto clan... aren't kannagis...but they still concern supernatural stuff.
so are you picking up what im putting down rn? yep thats right!!!! it's a hard decision for kou to make but he did say he'll always be on nene's side :') and he even defied his own brother for it...he's so sweet ..
yashiro wouldnt want kou to sacrifice himself but then again it's his choice to literally agree to run away with mitsuba and basically just died with him
NENE AND KOU MAAAAY EXCHANGE LIFESPANS!!! so if not yorishiro HE WILL DIE WITH HIM
that's it for my yap session remember this is just me being delusional RAAAAAAHHH THIS IS REAL THIS IS REAL IN MY HEARTT
mitsukou has been lowkey eating my brain (once again) and this will probably sound stupid blabbering but im gonna try to make myself sound convincing. and in my defense this was just a random thought that popped up on my mind.
what if the thing about natsuhiko saying the way for a human to become a supernatural is to become a yorishiro? I mean think about it, what else is sumire other than a supernatural? If she just died normally instead of becoming a yorishiro she would've ended up disappearing along with other girls under the red house.
at first, I thought natsuhiko planned on saying it to kou so it could trigger something but he looks surprised here so I doubt it now but there's still a possibility
i think his face reads as "ooooh an unexpected reaction but I'll take it"
even if he was really mean that time he probably really did care about mitsuba someway and was hoping for him to make kou his yorishiro
AAAND another reach maybe that's why kou asked him out on a date (other than just wanting to hang out with him, ofc) like so he could maybe get more important to mitsuba and make him his yorishiro!
and get this, if he becomes mitsuba's yorishiro, nene LITERALLY wouldn't be able to destroy him at all, thus allowing her to live!!!! two birds with one stone, if you will
(but you could say then 'wouldn't the broadcasting trio not like that?' which is true but they did they'll do ANYTHING to make yashiro destroy every yorishiro, possibly by threatening her and especially looking at the sumire incident she wouldn't want that to happen again AND THE LOWKEY PARALLELS OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH SUMIRE AND HAKUBO WITH THE MITSUKOU CHAPTER. (with the cannibalism and all))
and it could be another reason why kou was so shocked at him when he asked to be exorcised (cough instead of making him his yorishiro cough)
BUUUUUT that is just inherent yapping so that's that. just wanted to get my silly ramblings out there pls dont take it too seriously thank u.
"no reason, huh?" GRRRRRRRRREEEAAAASHAHHSHSHSHSHWBSBSBBSNSNSJS
kou yorishiro is real guys that's why he asked mitsuba to go to the festival with him (so mitsuba has more of a reason to live ?) IDK ITS JUST REAL
every time i read "mtsk" or "mtsks" on your account i think it says mitski
ykw here’s another nightlife mtsk x mitski lyric for this
hananene and mitsukou parallel part 2(72538272) (maybe this one lowkey a stretch but ykw hell yeah)
wyd if your crush tells you they're okay with dying
threaten them
btw this was nene's reaction to hanako confessing that
hummmmmmm and mitsuba doesn't know (yet) about kou (and his whole complex) so what conclusion would he possibly make hummmmm
maybe someone pointed this out already but this hananene and mitsukou parallel goes insanely hard
ouuuugh the way this scene the way mitsuba just gives up and looks like he expected kou to leave
I'm gonna get straight to the point since I don't really need a big post since the theory is self-explanatory
Hanako of the opera AU ends with Kou and Mitsuba basically running away from the opera (or to be fair, Kou kidnapping Mitsuba💀)
Then we get this in chapter 118, which is basically Mitsuba saying, "Hey my platonic friend, let's run away together in a platonic way so that we can forget that we're doomed asf(platonically)".
The panel shows a train. They could've drawn snacks or silly stuff, but they chose a train?? What's the only other time a train has shown up in tbhk?
To finish off, Kou has been hinted at becoming a supernatural multiple times. One of my favorite examples is the Ghost Hotel AU..
...it's canon that in this AU exorcists are still a thing, because Teru is one...but Kou isn't one? And what does Teru say he's doing in this AU? Searching for his little brother.
Honestly, seems like foreshadowing lol
(And btw, as a fandom, we ignore HOTO way too much)
maybe someone pointed this out already but this hananene and mitsukou parallel goes insanely hard
ON GOD when we get another mitsukou chapter i WILL make a mitsukou animatic
that's fair, but they're still set as fanonical in the shipping wiki and I won't hear it until it's atleast semi-canon
and I wanna rant unprompted about that incident since it lowk made me mad; like I didn't really mind everyone shocked happily off their balls about mitsukou being 'canon' since it wasn't really wrong but it wasn't right either.. what made me mad was those people who took it too seriously like that one comment I saw saying that aidairo were 'fujobaiting' by making them canon like. ???? first of all they are so heavily implied it's not even a joke anymore AND im sorry to say it but a silly little christmas event that has NO relevance to the story isn't close enough to them being canon.. if aidairo ever makes them canon im sure it would be treated with more emphasis but it'd probably be as vague as the mizu5 event (which is obviously already obvious but people still somehow got that wrong)
sorry for the yapping session. hehe.
no because I'm never recovering from this official art because what the fuck. like do I even need to explain. ????????????? aidairo im not joking w u rn make them canon bc I can't take it anymore
