Do Not Punish The Behaviour You Want To See

What the helllllll

I had a vision

This might ruffle some feathers but I think. Some of y'all need to realize the shipping possibilities are so much bigger than Mitsukou and Hananene. I've been in this fandom for years and still, I come across people going 'wtf why? (insert ship) don't make sense together, plus Hananene/Mitsukou canon' like BROOOO shipping isn't just 'what makes the most sense canonically,' it's just for funsies!! For laughs!! For joy!! For amusement!! For god's sake, people used to ship frozen, tangled, brave, httyd and trotg characters together. TBHK has such a huge cast and it's a shame some of y'all instantly hate on ships that aren't mainstream. Even though I don't like some of the ships I've included either, I'm not going to take time out of MY day to dog on someone's ship post. I just scroll and move on. It's okay to like mainstream things, it's okay to dislike nonmainstream things. But please don't go after the shippers who just want to have fun.

I HATE TBHK LMAO

I'm destroyed and I hate everything wtf

Aoi hugging Nene in both timelines, some things never change.

The first to protect her and the second to make her snap out of her possessed state.

Aoi hugging Nene even after seeing possessed Nene murder everyone and getting stabbed herself WAGWAHWFDG.

She didn't try to run away or defend herself but hugged her and ended up collapsing due to blood loss :((( In the other timeline,Aoi fought Amane but I guess she didn't want to hurt Nene.

cough cough..and aoi never did let go of nene until she died..

T.T

Not gonna lie I kinda hate the compulsion in fandom to shove every relationship into rigid definition boxes. Every relationship is either parent-child, siblings or romantic. Come on. Relationships are so much more complex than that. Do you at least have friends.

I find it a little amusing when people yell at me saying I'm "closed minded" and "wrong" for how I view tbhk as a story and the supernatural cast and agreeing with Teru but genuinely if I'm "closed minded" for agreeing with Teru then what does that make you?.

You sided with the most nieve characters when it comes to the supernatural world without so much as a second thought since the beginning and shun any idea that it could be wrong without ever hearing anyone out?

That sounds just as closed minded as you keep saying I am.

God forbid someone question what they're being told and not blindly believing whatever they're told and look into it themselves and the conclusion is something YOU don't like.

ur cooking with this hold on

Rating TBHK AUs based on how much Hanakou potential there is! Part 1/?

Ayaka6 AU (Idol Hanako au)

I'm not sure this is so much of an AU rather than a limited event that happens sometime outside the main plot (like the ashk chapters) but I think it's worth rating anyways. Here, Hanako is one of six idols in a boy group and Kou is apparently his manager! There's not much information on the AU aside from basic introductions but based on this art of Kou trying to comfort Hanako before a fan-event, it's clear that they're on pretty friendly terms.

I mean just look at them. I know this image is a gag but Kou’s radiant optimism paired with Hanako’s underlying nervousness is so fun!! Hanako already likes to hide his personal issues under a front so add the stress of being an idol and you get an anxious mess waiting to explode. Though Hanako tries to keep it under wraps with playful banter and such, Kou is very perceptive and sees right through him. He’ll give him a few odd pep talks and generally hype him up. While Hanako thinks Kou’s wording is rather…ominous at times, it’s hard to stay down when Kou’s genuine hope wears off on him. Now with Kou being Hanako’s manager, he’ll obviously be there every step of the way to support and reassure Hanako whenever he needs it which makes for a sweet dynamic.

Generally speaking, I’d like to think their dynamic is friendlier than most work relationships because Kou doesn’t come off as a very uptight professional manager and Hanako knows he can mess with him without many repercussions. Just as much as Kou has to keep Hanako in check, Hanako likes to keep Kou on his toes. And by that I mean Hanako likes to pull pranks on his manager ❤️ From hiding in Kou’s office to jump scare him to replacing Kou’s clipboard papers with pictures of himself, Hanako has a lot of fun with Kou. Obviously Kou isn’t a big fan of the pranks but he’s glad Hanako’s comfortable enough to pull them.

Of course, with the whole boss/employee dynamic comes a slew of issues in the context of a romantic relationship. Most companies have a fraternization policy (especially in cases of positions of power) along with idols having a strict no dating policy so whatever becomes of their relationship has to remain a secret. The two of them trying to navigate their feelings under all the media scrutiny and possibilities of getting fired would be absolutely disastrous and I love it.

I did a koukane fic!

Sumary: Akane helps Kou with his studies and Kou helps Akane in the kitchen

Birthday Headcanons!

I recently answered an ask about birthdays, and I wanted to offer some of my headcanons in addition to that. This is all just speculation, so feel free to come up with your own ideas instead!

Nene

I am very firmly of the belief that she is still fifteen years old as of the recent chapter (124). One thing I will say about Nene is she looks kind of young to me? So it wouldn't surprise me if she had a winter birthday. But I'm very torn on which year she was born... on the one hand I really like her having a birthday in February. Another female protagonist of AidaIro's, Neige, was born in February. Nene's name written in goroawase (japanese number puns) is also 22, so a birthday like 2/2/2000 feels very good to me... on the other hand, I really like her having the year of the rabbit as her zodiac. She's dressed up as a rabbit a few times, including for a New Year's celebration art:

But obviously this doesn't mean anything... Aoi could not be a snake, and Hanako is definitely a sheep despite dressing as a dragon in a different new year's artwork... and you've gotta admit that a rabbit just Feels more Nene than a dragon, right? (And sheeps and rabbits make for perfect couples, if you didn't know...)

That said, it's hard to choose a month and day in 1999 that feel right to me for her birthday... given the Yugi twins were born on "Good Twins Day" (11/25), a Japanese micro holiday, I get the feeling AidaIro wouldn't be able to pass up another good joke or pun for our heroine's birthday...

There are some fun holidays that could fit her. Here's a list:

Mermaid Day (June 30)

Strawberry Day (January 5)

Sengiri Daikon Day (February 17)

Goldfish Day/Girls' Day (March 3)

... But as you can see, none of these fit my requirements for what I want her birthday to be. :'( I'd really be happy with anything as long as it hasn't happened yet though!

For now, I guess I'll just give her a birthday like December 2, 1999... which is also really close to Amane's birthday, funnily enough.

Mitsuba

Since this guy is associated with the number three so much, I really struggle to imagine he wouldn't have a 3 in his birthdate somewhere... an obvious answer is March 28, which true fans will know is a fanmade micro holiday to celebrate the man himself because 328 is goroawase for Mitsuba. While it's unclear exactly what lead AidaIro to give the twins 11/25 as a birthday, many fans celebrated "Yugi Day" on the 25th of the month before the birthday reveal (because 25 is goroawase for twins) and so it would be a nice nod to the community and also just a good pun in general.

One thing that is interesting about Mitsuba is we kind of know his death date? It was in December of 2014. Anyway, depending on his birthday, he could have died at either 13 or 14. Definitely something worth considering, but as of right now, I don't think we know the age he died at. Mitsuba is kind of little though, I guess? So I wouldn't be surprised if he died at thirteen... (that would also place him at the same age as Tsukasa when he died!)

Anyway, I don't really have any other good micro holidays for Mitsuba, but I would bet good money that there is a 3 somewhere in his birthdate. ☘️

Mitsuba's Mom

You know what's better than having a funny birthdate? Having a funny deathdate! (Sorry, not to make this entirely about her dead son or anything, but we quite literally are calling her Mitsuba's Mom instead of her actual name, so...)

Anyway, in case you forgot, he died on her birthday.

Unfortunately, I can't really find a good micro holiday for this...so I will have to rely on another crutch.

The day that Tsukasa sacrificed himself was an "unlucky day". To keep this brief, there is a superstition that some days are luckier than others in Japan. There are six different types of days which each hold different types of luck... So basically, I want to find another unlucky day in December 2014 for her birthday!

Since it repeats roughly every six days, we have a few options. We're specifically looking for days marked with 仏滅.

Out of these options... well, I personally like December 4? Eh, I dunno. I really wish there was an inauspicious date with a 3 in it, but we have to deal with the cards we're dealt...

Kou

Since Kou greatly resembles his ancestor, Yorimitsu, and was likely named after him, I really like the idea that his birthday is also linked to him.

Unfortunately we have no exact birthdate for Yorimitsu, but we do have his death date, which was August 28 (or July 19 in the old calendar.)

I don't hate either of these birthdays for him! Sadly this would mean that we already passed his birthday, but Kou just screams "summer baby" to me, you know? Sweet sunshine child, etc...

Anyway, I'm admittedly not that well-versed in western zodiac, so I've been kind of avoiding it, but Kou likes lions and Leo season is July 23 to August 22 so if not the above dates I think something within that timeframe works for him. 🦁

---

So that's it! Maybe in the future I'll make up more headcanons, but for now, I can't really think of any other character birthdays that I have a strong opinion on. I would be very interested to hear your own headcanons, though, especially if you have a good reason for them! And here's hoping AidaIro actually reveal them in the future. ^^;

Yknow what I'm so mad about? Teruneneakane is soooo underrated, and I don't mean as a ship. I mean their trio. Because it's ALWAYS those three against the world and I really wish more people would expand on that and write fanfiction about that friendship. It makes me really sad that a lot of people don't see the potential. They've been together enoguh that there is a lot of potential for a friendship, so I really hope it gets more popular 😭
