Obiyuki Has Consumed My Soul

For the past week or so, Obiyuki has been on my mind like crazy, crazy. It’s like my new religion or something. I went into Akagami no Shirayukihime anime thinking that it would be a cute fairy tale romance between a prince and a commoner, but who knew that I’ll fall into the second lead syndrome hole again.

For some reason, I tend to like the second lead more than the first lead in most love triangles. Probably because the second leads I like tend to have more chemistry with the female leads than the main leads in my eyes. However, it hurts my soul when I have to see the second lead being used as drama fuel to boost the drama of the love triangle. So when I went into Akagami no Shirayukihime anime, I fully prepared myself that if there was ever a love triangle, I should suppress my second lead syndrome feelings and focus solely on the main leads because I don’t want to go into the void of second lead feels again. 

Even when Obi showed up and caught his Young Miss when she was about to faint, I paid no mind, and believed that Obi was just a character that served a similar role as Kiki and Mitsuhide. No love triangle whatsoever. Everything was going smoothly and my focus was still on Zen and Shirayuki’s cutesy romance until…

this scene came: 

Obiyuki Has Consumed My Soul

My heart exploded. Pterodactyl screams left my mouth. All my focus and love for Zenyuki were gone, completely destroyed. This, was the cutest thing I have ever seen in the first season of this anime. Not even a passionate kiss shared between Zen and Shirayuki can ever captured the level of intense cuteness of Obi gifting a hairpin to his Young Miss.

What I love about this scene is that even though Obi is aware that his Young Miss is cautious about revealing her hair in public, he still decided to gift her a hair accessory. It’s like, he’s indirectly saying that she’s beautiful and her hair doesn’t deserve to be always hidden away. Also, the design of the hair accessory is so fitting. It has a red flower mark embedded on it, which compliments Shirayuki’s red hair. If Obi did pick it out instead of claiming to win it at a martial arts tourney, he sure does have a keen eye for details. The manga does this scene even more justice because it shows more details leading up it, such as Obi gazing at his Young Miss after Zen commented on how her hair is beautiful, and Zen asking Obi what kind of gift would she like, with Obi responding with an “I don’t know.” (BUT HE TOTALLY KNOWS OMG)

And then Season 2 just punched me in the feels with all the Obiyuki moments and fluff. I had to pause and compose myself whenever Obi and his Young Miss shared a moment together. They. Are. Just. Too. Cute. At this point, my resolve of not falling for the second lead was dead and I boarded the Obiyuki ship knowing that it’s bound to crash and sink eventually. 

And then the manga doesn’t even give me any breathing room. The Obiyuki moments just keep coming. It’s CRAZY! My feels were choked, stomped, and murdered, and I had to wonder if this shoujo manga I was reading was actually a shoujo. Even though there are two male love interests, it doesn’t feel like a love triangle because there isn’t any intense drama, which I wholeheartedly love since I’m tired of the usual love triangle shenanigans. Romance is barely the focus of this series from what I have read so far. It’s more like an adventure, self-growth type of series. It’s a unique take on the shoujo genre, and I can’t wait to find out what kind of destinations the characters will find themselves at.  

Also, the moments that Obi and Shirayuki share in the manga give me hope? That the Obiyuki ship might not sink, and that it can actually sail off towards the sunset without any icebergs in site? There are a lot of foreshadowings in the manga that I had to go back to several chapters and reread. If these foreshadowings lead to an Obiyuki ending, then Sorata is an absolute madwoman for making a bold and strategic move. If not, I will feel sad, but happy at the same time because the bond that Obi and Shirayuki shared, grew and bloomed into a beautiful sunflower that not even a heavy storm can uproot it. Also, Obi as a second lead doesn’t get trashed and burned for love triangle drama fuel, which I appreciate. He grew as his own character, and even if he doesn’t end up with his Young Miss, he can proudly walk towards his own future. 

Before my Obiyuki rant approaches its end, I just want to say that I have never came across a love so pure like Obiyuki. Obi doesn’t resent or envy his Master for being together with his Young Miss. Hell, he actually supports them. He doesn’t want anything in return for all the things he has done for his Young Miss. He just want to see his Young Miss happy, healthy, and safe, and that is more than enough for him. Shirayuki provides Obi a home, a place to go back to with open arms and warmth. They both rely, TRUST, and walk with one another towards whatever path they choose. 

They are pure perfection.

Now every romance I come across looks like potatoes to me because they can’t be compared to the absolute purity of Obiyuki. And thus, Obiyuki has consumed my soul and nothing can save me now :,)

[] reasons to love obiyuki

I wanted to do this for ages and now I will take my time to explain why I will definitely go down to hell (or up to heaven) with this ship. Obi stole my heart since his first appearance in the manga and even if I have already explained here why I love him more than Zen (i’m really sorry, Zen please forgive me), I really want to do some “proper posts” about one of my fav couple.

image

So here we go with the links to my other posts! (constantly updated under the cut!)

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:

image

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

image

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.

Raven: It wasn’t that at all! I left because my father wants to kill you. After everything…I couldn’t risk that.

I swear I love Damian and Raven so much. They are such an underrated couple. I wish we had more time with them in the previous films, but I’m still happy with how everything turned out for them. I hope these new DC films will introduce Damian and Raven again and we’ll see a new version of their love story.

Can I ask for the batsiblings reaction to Damian pacing so much he wore a hole in the floor? Doesn't have to be a fics, maybe headcanons?

Sorry for the rather long wait. Kinda wanted to make this a fic

Here's the floor pacing fic

On Ao3 here

--

Alfred hadn’t outwardly reacted to Damian’s obvious lie as to why he had paced the floorboards uneven, but the butler absolutely took action for amending the tripping hazard in the boy’s room. With the floor repairman on the line and a measuring tape in hand nothing was amiss, of course.

Dick had already kept him up-to-date with the gossip about the two Titan birds, so Alfred hadn’t been surprised whatsoever. His position in the family meant that he’d watched the awkward budding romances of most everyone who’d called the Manor home. Damian being frustrated at his feelings for a teammate was nothing compared to a (very grown) Bruce being moody after Selina rebuffed his kiss while ‘on the clock’ or Dick’s increasingly creative attempts at sneaking around with Kori before the ‘no dating metahumans or aliens’ rule had been lifted. Honestly, watching the pun-laden flirting that Steph ladled out to both Tim and Cass on a near daily basis was more awkward than his youngest ward taking his repressed emotions out on the floors.

Unfortunately for Damian, the butler arranged for the floor repairman to show up during the day. Most notably, the repairman arrived at exactly the specified 1:35 p.m., not wanting to be late when called upon to fix anything belonging to Bruce Wayne.

Why Robin had believed that (like everyone else in Gotham) this worker would be fashionably late, he didn’t know. What Damian did know was that he hadn’t heard Grayson open the door. Nor had he heard his brother head up with Alfred and the repairman into his room. And he especially didn’t hear as Alfred slyly mentioned that he believed Dick’s gossip was coming to a head, if the worn path in the floor meant anything.

No, Damian heard none of it. Not when he was busy brushing BatCow and making sure that every square inch of the barn was properly ventilated so she couldn’t possibly overheat in the approaching summer weather. So when the youngest Bat stalked into the Manor, he’d been all but ambushed.

It didn’t take a detective to realize why he’d been pacing so much. Even without Alfred’s confirmation, it was unlike Damian to avoid going back to the Titans early if he could help it. Batman hadn’t looked up when Robin had elected to stay another week when they were in the BatCave, but his siblings sure had. And while Bruce didn’t outwardly ponder about how intense things had to be for Damian to go out of his way to avoid a certain someone, this new information had Dick positively enchanted at the prospect of his baby brother being in love.

“I’m not in love with Raven,” Damian hissed out.

Jason snickered as he reclined in his seat, his face full of mirth at the flustered crack in Damian’s voice. Cass was sitting upside down with her legs resting on the couch’s back, her smile wide as she took in her youngest brother’s irritated, embarrassed body language (nevermind the barest hint of an actual blush on his face when vehemently denying any feelings he had towards his fellow Titan).

Babs’ smile was wide and cheerful as she pointed out, “Who said anything about Raven?” Duke perked up from his spot next to Cass, immediately adding on, “Yeah, Dami. We thought you were just falling for her?”

Steph snorted, “Falling over those footprints in the floor, more like it.”

Tim laughed behind his gulp of his coffee, sleepily (and loudly) drawling out to the blonde, “A Robin and his Raven. Guess you can say they’re a real pair of lovebirds, huh?”

Damian glared at them all, fighting the urge to pinch between his eyes. Why were all the Bats at the Manor? Shouldn’t they be on patrol instead of bothering him?

Jason clicked his tongue and rested his arms on the table. He met Dick’s gaze, saw the way his older brother’s eyes brightened up with mischief and scratched at the streak of white in his hair. Deciding that messing with Damian was by far the most fun he’d have in the Manor that morning, Jason asked, “So, Lil’ D… What’re you gonna get your girlfriend? Can’t come back empty handed.”

“She’s not my--”

Babs interrupted him, nudging Tim with her elbow, “Do not tell me he wasn’t planning on getting her anything.”

Steph lazily rested on the chair’s edge. The blonde leaned over to rest against Jason’s shoulder, her fist pressed to her face. She gnawed on the inside of her cheek; it wasn’t likely she’d be much use for knowing how Raven would want to be wooed. She had heard of her but she had yet to actually meet Damian’s mystery crush, after all. She let out a hum, “What does Raven like? It’s gotta be something personal!”

Damian clicked his tongue as his siblings were suddenly oh so chatty at Spoiler’s suggestion, their unwanted ideas filling the room.

“What if he paints her something?”

“Doesn’t she like old books? Maybe one of those first editions that Alfred was thinking about donating last year?”

“Wait a sec-- Dick, isn’t she goth? B did get that set of obsidian jewelry at the last gala.”

“Hell, if we’re going that route I’m sure Selina has some nice rings somewhere--”

“Maybe something that isn’t stolen, Tim.”

“Just be honest with her.”

The room went quiet at Cass’ simple instruction. Still in her Orphan suit from her early morning patrols and reclining in her inverted spot on the couch, the brunette somehow kept a serious face as she stared at Damian upside down.

Seeing that no one was going to add-on to her suggestion, Cass blew some of her bangs out of her face and shrugged, “You like her for a reason.”

Brown eyes slyly glanced around the room, gratefully falling on Babs as she piped up, “Cass is right. I really don’t think Damian of all people would fall for someone who’s all about dating mind-games.”

Ignoring Damian’s exasperated lie of “I haven’t fallen for her!” in the background, Steph slumped down on the couch next to Duke. Her face was contemplative, “Then maybe we should invite her here?”

Dick let out an excited laugh the same time Tim clapped his hands and grinned at their resident computer whiz, “Babs could absolutely get her up to speed on patrolling Gotham for a bit, right?”

The redhead looked excited at the idea. Pushing her glasses further up her nose before they fell, Babs teasingly asked, “What is it about Gotham and bird-based superheroes?”

Duke shrugged, a hand cradling his chin in thought. “Not sure, but Dami obviously won’t confess if we’re not around to kick him into doing it.”

Jason clicked his tongue at the possibility of the youngest Bat listening to them and raised a brow Dick’s way, “Any chance at all that she’ll make the first move?”

Irritated at the topic, Damian turned on his heel and retreated to the kitchen. Ignoring the chorus of “C’mon, Dami” behind him (and planning on fighting Todd later for the childish boos that the antihero was aiming at his back), Robin set about grabbing some snacks for his pets when he heard two sets of footsteps approach.

He bit back a groan as Dick practically skipped into the room, Cass on his heels. “What now?”

Nightwing let out a laugh at his brother’s sneer, “You do know that we’re only trying to help, right?” He took a few pears from the fridge and handed them to Damian, knowing that they were BatCow’s favorite. Hearing as Cass opened the cabinet doors to find where the rawhide bones and cat treats were stored, Dick pressed on, “I know she already knows me but it might be easier introducing everyone as a segue into talking to her about other things…”

Cass let out a quiet snort at his suggestion. She shook her head and offered a better idea, “Alfred first.”

Dick tilted his head, nodding in agreement a moment later. He ignored the violent way Damian was cutting up the pears and said, “That’ll probably be for the best. Living with the Titans is one thing; we gotta ease her into our particular brand of madness.”

Tossing aside the stems and peeled off stickers, Damian sulked, “None of this is necessary.”

Cass hid her smile with her hand. Dick hummed out, “You don’t want your girlfriend to meet your family?”

“She won’t be my--” Damian couldn’t say the potential title just yet. He clicked his tongue, “Just because you all think I have feelings for her doesn’t mean she’ll reciprocate.”

The older two visibly paused at his words.

Her head tilting in concern, brown eyes studied Robin for a moment. Damian glared at Cass but she ignored him. Dick leaned against the wall, the worried furrow in his brow betraying his nonchalant stance. He spoke out the obvious, “Do you really think she’s not interested?”

“She thinks I’ve been avoiding her--”

Cass shrugged, “You have.”

Damian continued as if he hadn’t heard her, “--so I doubt any feelings she may have towards me are positive right now.”

Dick let out a hum, “You didn’t answer the question.”

Ophan’s suit somehow didn’t shine in the kitchen’s fluorescent light as she crossed her arms, “Yes or no?”

Damian bit the inside of his cheek. It was quiet in the kitchen for a moment as he thought over all the moments he and Raven had shared, the comfortable quiet pauses between crimefighting, training, and avoiding their teammates’ noise. She never seemed to dislike his company, but she was stoic enough that he could never tell if her heart leaped into her throat whenever she noticed that they were alone.

He suppressed a jump as Cass entered his personal space.

Olive eyes were reluctant as she poked his cheek. “You’re not stupid,” She figured it was progress when he didn’t try to swat her hand away, but she couldn’t keep the beam off her face at the boy’s blush. A hint of smugness crept into her voice, “So she is?”

“I don’t know.”

Cass looked to the Manor’s main entrance, knowing that in half a week’s time the entire structure would be full of lights, flowers and who knew what else B’s planners would bring. A spring gala with flowers and enough hidden corners for a pair to get lost in the crowd.

In other terms: the perfect setting for a first date.

She met Dick’s gaze and grinned at the knowing look on his face. His hair nearly fell out of its bun as he let out a whoop, wrapping an arm around Damian. Thoughts of finding Raven a gala-ready dress (and maybe a matching suit) in mind, Dick couldn’t keep the excitement out of his movements.

Ignoring the aggravated yet cautiously hopeful way Damian shrugged off his brother’s arm, Cass clasped her hands in front of her chest. “Only one way to find out.”

Guy... We Need To Have Another Chat. My band of Brothers

So with Damirae Week coming to a successful end, I thought I would take the time to remind everyone why we do what we do in creating and promoting our fandom. And I was so happy to see new creators emerge and share their work with us. You guys killed and I am so proud you. 

But as great as Damirae Week was, I know some of us are feeling a bit defeated with DC’s decision to promote BBrae in Fortnight. I know it’s a sad blow; I’ve been some variant of a Robrae shipper since I was about 15 years old, but 15 years later, I’m still here and have no intention of going anywhere. And here is why.

I love comics, I’ve loved the cast of DC characters ever since I was a little girl. I grew up with Batman the animated series and I loved the OG Teen Titans series. The crazy thing is I had no idea fanfiction existed, I didn’t find that rabbit hole until I was in my very early 20′s. And even then, it took me a few years to finally drum up the courage to write something and post for all the internet to see. And I did because, I too, was tired of DC ignoring me, and not giving my ship the time of day while prioritizing one group of fans over the other. But as oppose to just complaining about it on the internet I thought “Well who better to write the stories I wanna read myself, but me?” That’s not meant to be taken as me stroking my own ego, it just that I realized that is what fanfiction is. It’s fans sharing their ideas and love of that medium. And at the end of the day, we write for ourselves and the “Happy Few” as I referent to them (thank you Shakespeares) who wish to read it. 

Leaving doesn’t solves anything; we’re stronger a group: A Band of Brother’s if you will (again thanx Billy Shakes). We create works for fellow fans who get it and love it. Walking away because DC overlooks us is what our haters want. If we walk away, they win. We don’t. 

What we need to do is stand together, promote each other, help each other grow. Without the support of our fellow shipmates, we’re nothing. Our ship might be small, but it’s growing. I wasn’t here a year ago, but I’m here now and I’m not alone. And those of you who have been here since day one, stay, help steer the ship. We need all of you. Don’t walk away. If we could count on DC to write the stories most of us want, a lot of us wouldn’t be here. And  lot of us would probable never be friends. (cause we’d never meet.)

So before anyone jumps ship, just remember the Happy Few who read your work, like you strifes, leave nice comments, they’ll be sad without you. I’ll be sad without you. We’re in this together, “We few, we happy few, we Band of brothers (sisters); we share our passion; our blood, sweat and tears (literal tears just ask @ViLaVi and @ravenfan1242 they know). We’re all here for you and cheering you on. Don’t give up now, you’ve come too far. 

Anyway, if this post help keeps even one of Walking, I’ll be happy, but I hope you all stay a while longer.

With Love –Ophelia
