She said, as the two men beside her glared at one another with hatred comparable to a thousand suns whilst plotting each other's demise.

Listen, I enjoy Hanako as a character. I do.
But if someone were to offer me a job with the promise of acting as the guy's version of J. Jonah Jameson, I'd gladly sign up because Hanako is a menace. If you read the manga you know what I'm talking about.
I don't care how cute the ship is or how much I ship it, I refuse to overlook the fact this dude was willing to just let Aoi die off if it meant Yashiro could live and the fact he refuses to tell Yashiro anything (and the fact he was complete perv for a while).
Intentional or not, he does not respect her autonomy. He does not let her genuinely make choices for herself in terms of what she thinks is best for her. He knows full well Yashiro would be against the stuff he does, that's why he doesn't tell her anything. He knows it'll hurt her or upset her in some way, but doesn't care because he assumes he knows what's best for her without bothering to ask for her consent on the matter.
It's a 'you don't know what you want, Luigi know what you want' kinda deal and it irks me at times when I truly sit down to think about it.
"He does it because he loves her---"
So you're telling me that if you had cancer that was gonna kill you off early and your boyfriend made plans behind your back to kill your best friend---a person who's supported you for years---in order to switch your conditions to keep you alive, you would NOT lose your mind? Yeah, I'm calling cap on that.
I understand he has his reasons and you're still allowed to like the ship, I clearly still do. But can we all stop acting like Hanako is an innocent angel who doesn't know what he's doing?
The sooner we admit Hanako is a yandere, the better because what is he if not that?
It got even bigger this week 😂
Y'all have been going crazy with the support, thank you so much. This is actually insane.
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 🤷♀️
Guess it's time to make a fanfiction for Marvel's Moon Knight.
Your harassing neighbor dies. Then a bullying coworker dies in a crash. Within a month, people you’ve had bad blood with start dying. The police are watching you closely—but you haven’t done anything… at least, not that you know of.
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🩷
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.
(Bonus points for you if you recognize the reference)
(Not my best work, but it's whatever lol)
I hate how well the duality of Shinpei is handled between him being bat-crap crazy and being a sickeningly sweet husband

They mean everything to me ☺
I find it funny how people in the Homicipher fandom keep drawing Mr. Crawling with the super beefy manhwa body type yet Mr. Crawling more than likely is built like Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride.
I'm not denying the strength Mr. Crawling has (because he's DEFINITELY strong) and I'm not saying you can't make art of whatever you want. And who knows? Perhaps he does have a sleeper build under his outfit. But I personally feel like he's got the thickness of a twig under there, lol
