Worst thing ever is when you enjoy a relationship between two characters in the same way that one might enjoy watching a horror movie but everyone else in the fanbase enjoys it in the way where they’re making cutesy ship art and posts about how perfect they are for each other and how they’d better be ‘endgame’
There is so much beauty in Itachi Uchiha
We've all been through so much with Naruto throughout the years.
The sun and moon
So I’m taking a Japanese literature class at my university and my professor explained to us that unlike in most cultures where the sun is masculine and the moon is feminine, in Japanese poetry it is the opposite.
This is due to the fact that they believe that the sun is like a woman because she is constant. The sun rises every day, unchanging.
The moon, like a man, leaves and disappears. It sometimes rises but it never stays. It fades and eventually vanishes.
The sun and moon have their set obligations within the universe and due to this they can’t always be together and they become separated for some time.
However, every once in a while the sun and moon reunite for a short fleeting moment,
only to part until their paths cross again.
**note: Most of this information was passed onto me via oral lecture so I do apologize for any misinformation or if I may I have forgotten something. However, if you read and study Japanese poetry, it actually makes a lot of sense.
***Side note, though this is more of a joke, anything that takes place on a bridge is apparently not platonic. It also makes sense why so many shoujo confessions take place on a bridge.
