Can I Just Say Damian Is So Much Better With Women Than His Dad Lol

Reasons for Why I Believe Obiyuki could be the “Romance that Cuts through Fate” referenced in the Manga:

In college, I took two amazing courses–scratch that I took one amazing course and one semi-disappointing sub-par course–Fairytales and Graphic Narratives, respectively. And until right this very minute, I believed them to be an utterly, though fascinating, waste of my time and tuition though they made me smile. Okay, it was college so they didn’t always make me smile because finals are the worst but I digress the point I am trying to make is this: 

I HAVE AN EPIPHANY CONCERNING MY BELOVED SHIP OBIYUKI DUE TO MY TEACHINGS!!   

So, first and foremost the birth of my epiphany came from thinking back to my class on Fairytales when we studied Snow White! (Graphic Narratives didn’t really teach me much other than how to think more critically about…Graphic Narratives, so I guess it really doesn’t deserve any cred for this post TBH, lol.)

But like I said we studied Snow White. 

Not this one:

Or whatever this one was supposed to be (sorry not sorry):

But, the original one. There are two versions (maybe there are more but I forgot them if there are) of the Grimm’s version of Snow White. In the very most original version, everything pretty much happens as we all remember it minus the singing: Snow White makes Queen step-trash jealous by her beauty, Queen step-trash tries to have her killed, due to her amazing beauty Hunstman is a wuss and lets her live because he’s weak to a beautiful damsel, Snow White plays Goldilocks and breaks into a dwarven settlement, the dwarves also wuss out and take pity on her because she is pretty and can cook/clean for them, then step-trash gets angry realizing she is, in fact, alive and goes out to kill her herself. Now, this is where everything diverges from what we know. In the original version step-trash has to try several times to kill her. Once with a bodice/corset torture device that basically suffocates her until the dwarves get home and cut her out of it, twice with an evil hair comb that kills her until the dwarves pull it out of her hair, and then thrice with the age-old apple trick. The poisoned magic apple gets lodged in her throat and she becomes a stone statue for all intents and purposes, so what do the dwarves do? What any logical group of men would do with a beautiful woman who isn’t decaying but still dead in their eyes, lock her in a gorgeous crystal casket so that they can still gaze upon her beauty on the daily! From here on there are two different endings to the Snow White saga. The very, very, first one published states that the Prince comes along says, “ooooooooh pretty, let me take her home with me and put her on display” and sits around gazing at her all the time until someone in the castle gets pissed off and hits Snow White’s corpse which dislodges the apple finally and wakes her up. What an awkward way to wake up yeah? And then the poor girl gets married to the Prince–ta-da! The second version makes it a lot better ending for poor Snow White. Someone trips while hauling the casket to the palace and dislodges the apple and then the Prince sweeps Snow White off her feet and yay happy ending they get married and now the Prince doesn’t seem as creepy just staring at a dead person all day long pissing off his staff. 

(Whooo that was a lot of background info, sorry, and also I know that I could also do a huge comparison post on the tales of Snow White versus our Shirayuki tale, but that is for another day!!!)

Depending on what you want to go with there are so many ways you can analyze the story of Snow White–all of them, old, less old, new, even our beloved Shirayuki’s story–but one of the things that stick out in my mind is how in every single version of Snow White she is always a trophy of some sort. The Prince is always going to get his trophy wife in the end. Even in Shirayuki’s case, if she does end up with Zen (which I’ll die if she does) she will be nothing but a trophy wife. Even though Zen is precious and certainly not a bad guy by any means, he is a  Prince, therefore their relationship will not be the same as normal couples have. She won’t be allowed to be an Herbalist and tend to the sick who may infect her and kill her before she can provide an heir. And poor Zen will still be stuck behind a pile of paperwork and responsibility to his Kingdom that he dearly loves.  

But, hey who knows, maybe Sorata will go against the entire universe she has built in her storytelling and let Shirayuki be wild and free and a Prince’s wife…

I think this is where “A Romance that Cuts through Fate” comes in to play. Hopefully, if you’ve made it this far in my post (bless you if you have) you’re thinking what I’m thinking. Or maybe you’re thinking I’m a lunatic.

Y'all. As someone who has been writing in this fandom since 2016, I am OVERCOME. I just starting playing in this b-pairing sandbox with new friends, not expecting anything canon out of it, just a good time.

And yet here we are. Fake dating. Dramatic Reunions. Obiyuki HUGS.

And now even OBI CRYING (the penultimate fanworks will-never-happen-in-canon moment)

"Keep this for me." (my heart)

"I'll hold onto all of you."

I am not okay.

I just recently finished reading a manga where I 100% thought the first male lead was going to end up with the main character. They were so cute together and it was looking good for them . It looked like they would be end game. BUT THEN boom.

It.didn’t.happen.

I was aware that the second male lead had feelings for the main character but he hadn’t told her anything. He was always there for her when she needed him, without him ever asking for anything in return. He even kept his distance and helped her out a little with the 1ml. (See where I’m going?)

Then the 2ml and main character ended up together. (It was adorable, they were both so happy, even the 1ml was happy for them).

When I finished the manga I immediately thought of Obi and Shirayuki. I was like wait, SO THIS IS POSSIBLE. NOW I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN FROM OBIYUKI. RAHH 🦅🦅

Look at them 🥹🫶🏽

** I didn’t name the manga so I wouldn’t spoil it for anyone**

Tenia que hacerlo 

listen, you don’t choose your otp it chooses you. it violently breaks into your heart, consumes your soul and wakes you up at 3 a.m. in the morning, sweating and crying bc it just made you remember the one time the characters looked at each other for two seconds

Similarities between two of my all-time favorite not-the-prince-type characters of anime: Kyo Sohma and Obi

1. Both are considered the rogue-type character compared to their princely counterpart who they constantly bicker with. Deep down though, they respect and think highly of each other.

2. Both are highly-trained and skilled fighters.

3. Both have the most beautiful piercing eyes that could cut like a knife when they get angry.

4. Both have a thing for being on the roof of buildings.

5. Both have a girl that they have feelings for, but have shied away from expressing it due to the thought that they weren’t worthy of that girl; they don’t feel like they are as worthy as their princely counterpart for the girl they love.

Merry Christmas!! - DamiRae Comic
