Just some parallels. I don’t think they’re intended but I like it when my ships have parallels.
The most obvious one being this:
But there’s also this:
Tae and Kondo’s scene is more serious and mature, but the theme rings true for the both of them. It’s Kagura and Tae respectively who specifically reassure Okita and Kondo about the Shinsengumi, that there’ll always be people who’ll believe in the Shinsengumi no matter where they are.
The ‘tadaima-okaeri’ exchange. In Kondo and Otae’s case, it’s Kondo who says tadaima but the Otae who says okaeri is apparently a pandemonium. In Kagura and Okita’s case, Kagura doesn’t say tadaima and it’s Okita who says okaeri (I have a lot of feelings for that chapter ok? It was the Shinsengumi’s mission to bring back the Yorozuya together again, and Okita’s specific mission was to gather Shinpachi and Kagura, ‘the lost kids’ as he puts it, but there are certain lines in his fight with Kagura that makes me think the fight was just for him, separate from the Shinsengumi mission though a part of it, it was personal to him.)
Then this line by Okita when talking about Kondo and Otae. I find it interesting, Okita’s insight into what Kondo really wanted in relation to his relationship with Otae. He’s either a closet romantic or softer in his observations since it’s Kondo. Similarly though, that’s what he does when he reunites with Kagura, both the first time and after the time-skip. He simply wants them to go back to their old routine, fighting each other, and despite the time that has passed and the changes they’ve both undergone, for him, he and Kagura haven’t changed at all, and I think that comforts him. EDIT: Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that both Kondo and Okita have, in some way, ‘proposed’ to the girls, though in Kondo’s case it was part of a gag (though he was serious of course), while in Okita’s case, it was one of his sadistic jokes.
move your finger back and forth so it looks like the cat is following it
This is more entertaining than it should be.
This is why I love Tumblr.
two hours later i click reblog
five hours later i click reblog
It’s more fun if you move a quarter of a second before the cat does so it looks like it has a shitty reaction time
“…but that kid is the only person in the world who hasn’t given up on me. And I don’t want to give up on him. […] I won’t fail him again. I promise.”
I want to see how many of us are out there.
