Bodies Are Supposed To Be TEMPLES, Right ? In My Defense, Marble Is Marble And Stone Is Stone. In My

The Poems of Emily Brontë; Privately Printed Poems, ‘XXXVII’ c. August 12th 1839

😔 mayu suzukaze literally being every aspect of kenshin is just iconic, the inflections, the delicacy turning to fierceness, the shift between every aspect of kenshin’s facades and inner turmoils to true core emotions is just  😔 😔  and it really fits how seemingly ‘delicate’ in physique outside (beneath his gi he’s quite muscled without being bulky (which lends itself to his shinsoku / godspeed )  kenshin appears despite having incredible arm strength / leg strength for his height of 5′2 and really no one that practices hiten mitsurugui-ryu is going to be able to uphold it without having it - and also paying for it like any human being in the most realistic sense.

the first live action film demonstrates and confirms that kenshin doesn’t need to use his sakabato to be able to pulverize and curb-stomp you and then take you to the doctor in less than a minute ! !!! but seriously props to mayu for voicing someone who’s such a fictional legend / icon and doing it insanely well when i imagine the role would feel intimidating due to kenshin’s considerable fame as a character and protagonist / hero.

frankly i also am vastly impressed in general by sato takeru, who i think the pressure would especially be intimidating if it he wasn’t so joyful about kenshin as a whole embodying all my expectations and wishes of kenshin’s mannerisms and my own headcanons confirmed / perspectives, so i also like his voice as well as much as hers. but there is a nostalgia in mayu, and always will be, so i think it’s a blend of both in a sense? 

i love how even his voice is complex and a thing in itself. it dips from soft and dulcet to low and fearsome, to formal to going ‘yup!’ in the most unexpected moments or ‘huh’? i watched some episodes today since tumblr i read was really glitched this month so it will take a while likely for me to get some of my images up when you hover over my url for me, lily, to see so i’ll be slow here since it’s mildly irksome, but not unbearable! 

my first headcanon since...eight months will be about the red gi . i honestly don’t think it’s realistic that he could afford such a fine red gi when it’s heavily implied and outright stated he can’t afford an inn so i’ll take some liberties from the films.

I’ve been cold, I’ve been merciless. But the blood on my hands scares me to death, maybe I’m waking up today

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐑 . 

giving into the call, you packed your bag and disappeared into the woodline. you have main character vibes, whether you accept the title or not. you hold a lot of value the things that comfort you but also romanticize adventure. you don't have to succeed all the time. songs: alpha rats nest by the mountain goats, love in the time of socialism by yellow house .

I’ve written tons of characters, but as this is my original fandom, my first fandom I got into when I was younger, the first anime / manga and story I ever truly indulged in, I can say even with all the new stories, and new characters I’ve come to love, that after watching Tsuioku-hen / Trust and Betrayal once again, and knowing I will once again, glean it apart, that Kenshin Himura will always, always, be that one character (TM). 

Personal and fond musing under the cut.

I have so much to say, and each time I watch I have feelings and emotions and the ability to relate to him and understand him in a way I just...even eight months hasn’t dulled. I really don’t want to go without someone I deeply, fictional or not, empathize and relate with so personally ever again. I think his story and his character so similar to mine in personality to an eerie degree, the fact that we both are pacifists, achingly gentle people, and always strive to shield others has always resonated with me. His tragic life has resonated with me, and he has always given me hope that /my/ life that has had no small tragedies will be better because good things come to him.

This is a deeply personal post, but basically I don’t mind being compared to other characters, I always will humbly as possible find similarities in others and thank you!, that is our nature, but some characters are just that one character, that one story, that one you always thinks, ‘man we’re alike’.

And Rurouni Kenshin and Kenshin Himura are that. He will always be my favorite character. He will again, always to me, be unprecedented. The things he stands for, the things he wants to be, the countless lives he’s impacted and that innate aching kindness that he cannot let go of no matter what stage of his life...this isn’t even me being dorky, this is me completely serious that Kenshin will always be my favorite character in anything of all time. Not only that but we resonate deeply with one another. That’s something I wouldn’t trade, and honestly his story gives me hope for myself. That people like me can find peace and healing and purpose and always protect others.

This post doesn’t mean I don’t write other muses who have a different, but in their own way, equally special place in my heart, like Lucina, etc. But as I slowly invite friends once again to this place, this very, special, safe, sacred place, both in my heart and mind, engraved in me forever, I only hope that you even a little bit, cherish him as I do so wholly and utterly.

But yes, if you wanted to know Lily’s 20+ year favorite character going on into forever or as long as she’s alive, the character she arguably at the end of the day would  say she’s most like, most on keel with, can never let go of, will always carry those engraved messages inside her, then it’s Kenshin Himura, hands down.

Some stories and characters you come home to. And for me I guess every time I come here, I almost imagine someone telling me ‘welcome home’ just like in the story.

For those who write, those who empathize and resonate spiritually with a fictional story and character, I too, hope you find someone who is this for you. There is nothing wrong with finding yourself in stories. It’s natural and I encourage you. I hope that once more, I glean even further and more deeply into Kenshin than ever before. If you read this, thank you very much, I think those who know me know what this man means to me.

A sword is a weapon. The art of swordsmanship is learning how to kill. That is the truth. What Miss Kaoru says is sweet and innocent talk that only those whose hands have never been stained with the blood of men can believe. But, to tell you the truth, I much prefer Miss Kaoru’s sweet and innocent talk over the truth, indeed I do!.

please reblog this if it's okay for me to just pop into your ask box to RP with you even if you haven't reblogged a meme because I just want to RP with you
