For those people who need to hear it, there is nothing wrong with going back into the closet for your own safety. You aren't less queer because you can't be queer publicly. You aren't less trans because you have to act like you're not trans.
If you need to start going by your old pronouns or quietly go back into the closet to be safe - you are allowed to do that. Please do that if it means you're alive.
Your safety is important.
You are important.
And if you know someone who has to do this, don't push them. Don't out them. Follow their lead. People's safety is more important that grandstanding.
I LOVE FLOWER SYMBOLISM YES! FLOWER LANGUAGE!!!
This post will go into explicit symbols (ones that are clearly drawn with the intention to show the audience) of the flowers that represents our Four Heavenly Kings, and Umemiya Hajime.
(Implicit Boufuurin symbols)
The first, and most impressive piece of symbolism that hit me is from chapter 3, when we meet Sugishita for the first time.
While I was doing research, I came across @/sawacore on twitter who had pointed out that the 5 flowers are the flowers of Boufuurin's Heavenly Kings and Umemiya.
Below is my effort to match and name these flowers. I don't think I am 100% correct, but I've identify the most distinguishable details about them. (And all of them are edible! What a surprise!)
Umemiya - Ume (Plum blossom)
Plum blossom means good fortune, health, and a talisman against evil. Moreover, Ume flower is also considered Sakura (cherry blossom)'s older sister, as it blooms at the end of winter and beginning of spring, right before cherry blossom does.
Tsubaki - Japanese Camellia
The flower is in their name, so there is no speculation here.
Tsubaki resembles freedom of choice and perfect love, which is very in character for our Tsubaki. Tsubaki had broken the gender norms to wear skirt and make-up even if they were born as a boy. Moreover, I truly adore their opinion on love: Love's value is in its own and doesn't need to be reciprocated for it to be perfect. They loved being in love, and that was what's beautiful about it.
Mizuki - Amana flower (Tulipa edulis/アマナ)
Now I can't find the meaning of this flower, so maybe I was wrong here. But this flower is, in fact, edible, and kind of fits the description: Pointy petals and cruciform. Please let me know if you find a better flower!
Momose - Momo flower (Prunus persica)
Momo flower means "fascinating personality", love, and good luck. It's a little all over the place, yes, but maybe we haven't known enough about Momose?
Hiiragi - Holly berry
Holly, or holly berry included, represents prosperity and focus strength. This is factually correct, as Hiiragi is the leader of a team whose name is taken from the god of warfare.
WAS I KIND OF WRONG??? WILL HE BE HERE NEXT WEEK??? WILL WE MEET HIM OFFICIALLY NEXT WEEK???
Okay. So! Each episode of windbreaker is about 3-4 of the manga chapters. This latest episode (s2ep3) ended with chapter 55.
Insanity incoming, as well as spoilers for non-manga readers.
So my rough estimate is that Tsubakino’s little intro will be at the end of episode 5?
Pretty sure next episode (ep4) will have sick Sakura, then after that him and Kaji’s talk. Feel like ep4 will end with Kaji’s “Everyone can see you’re terrified of rejection” bit.
Ep5 might pick up after this, (I cannot wait for Kaji’s freak out when being caught being a good senpai) then lunch at Kotoha’s which is when Sakura sees Tsubakino through the window!
Which MEANS if that’s right Tsubakino will be fully introduced in episode 6! Which would be airing on like May 8th. Which feels so far away. And the dub for that episode will be May 22nd.
goddamn it.

there’s a popular creator in the jjk x reader fandom i have blocked cause of how rude they were to me and i’m just now learning that they are apparently beloved
glad i didn’t ask people their opinion on what happened cause i’m seeing i’d have been ostracized 😬
I’m only mildly losing my mind at Windbreaker s2ep1 (read: I’ve already watched it twice)
