Very Specific Simple Pleasures I Think Each Batch Member Would Love
Hunter- when youβve just washed and styled your hair and lay down on clean sheets and just feel like a new person
Wrecker- when the popcorn pops exactly the right amount and is not burnt so you have the most popcorn possible but it still tastes amazing
Tech- when you get a brand new pen that is the exact one you like and write with it for the first time in a nice crisp notebook
Crosshair- that post-bottomless brunch nap in some comfy clothes with the sun streaming in through the window (and your pet napping next to you if you have a pet)
Echo- when youβre just sitting in silence next your best friend in a quiet and peaceful setting and just think about how much you love them
Omega- when you forgot about a sweet treat you had been saving and come home after a long day to open the fridge and see it staring at you
Bonus:
Batcher- when your humans accidentally end up giving you extra treats
sansa and tyrion's marriage is interesting from tyrion's perspective. he is canny enough to understand that she is only saying things to please and mollify him, but he also genuinely thinks that she is "so dutiful" that she would tell him what she prays for in her frequent visits to the sept (and he thinks she's excessively pious). as the reader we know she's praying for lannister annihilation and would never admit this out loud, but tyrion doesn't seem to really... get that sansa hates him and his family. even after everything, the multiple beatings, being terrorized by joffrey, the entire forced marriage, THE MURDER OF HER DEAR BELOVED DAD - he has a perception of her as a simple dutiful girl whose inner world consists of piety and supplication. that her prayers are a form of resistance and escape doesn't occur to him. he also exercises a very similar lack of understanding with shae - he thinks she's angry with him bc she lost her jewels and silks, not bc she is scared of her unstable position.
there's a scene in the fruits basket manga that i keep thinking about (by which i mean right now because i've gone back to the anime and it's the episode where rin and haru break up) and it's.
when haru "i knew that i was putting rin at risk by falling in love with her. i knew i was putting her at risk by confessing to her. i knew i was putting her at risk by our being in a relationship. i knew all of this and i did it anyway because i wanted her." and haru walking eyes wide open into something that would hurt someone he said he loved and acknowledging that's not love.
(and akito pulling that out of him. you knew what i would do if i found out and you put her at risk anyway. and haru acknowledging that as true. and that doesn't excuse what akito did. but haru acknowledging that he was trying to set himself up as a safe place for rin while all the while he was just putting her at risk.)
like.
the complications of the relationships in fruits basket. and the acknowledgment of how screwed up even an admittedly good relationship could be.
i just.
ugh.
Sudden wave of an immense love for humanity has hit me once againβ¦
