If Tumblr Shuts Down You Can Find Me On Tumblr. Ill Still Be Here. They Cant Make Me Leave

ao3 turns 15 today

reblog if youre older than ao3

(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)

listening to banana fish spotify playlists is like "oh this song is so sad, let's see the other, oh this is depressive, shit this one is worse, oh well this one too, oh the intro slaps, oh this is also sad, and this one t-"

god he’s so pretty

kuroo redraw bc i can't get him outta my head

so I gotta say uhhhhh I’m lowkey on the rabbit’s side

the scene from the movie that lives rent free in my head is the little clips of Tsukki and Yamaguchi

the little flashbacks? shit almost had me sobbing

DONT DELETE IT PLEASE I’LL SELL MY SOUL TO YOU

ill delete this later BUT HEY LISTEN TO ME

VASH AS A BOFURIN MEMBER

tuens out that feeling of emptiness and a constant lack of motivation or desire to do anything is called ✨clinical depression✨

anyways i’m starting medication soon and hopefully will feel a drive to do anything that makes me happy

okay I was here for johnny yong bosch and that was it… I don’t like the way they wrote Lady, and also apparently the creator is an avid Tr*mp supporter

nothing lost I suppose— I’ll just rewatch Trigun and Trigum Stampede to get my JYB fill

so I gotta say uhhhhh I’m lowkey on the rabbit’s side

ALSO! the amana flower closes whenever it’s cloudy, which is just interesting to see if that fits with Mizuki at all (hopefully we get him know him more in depth). the inner part of the flower is medicinal, and the whole of the plant is edible! from the roots to the petals!

i also can’t find meaning or symbolism :(

Symbols surrounding Boufuurin's leaders and their meanings

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 fanatic - Sugishita Kyoutarou

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.

The 5 flowers

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.

trigun stargaze but as vintage sci-fi movie posters 🎥

edit: several people have asked for prints so they are now available here and here!

also, i got a special request for grainier, more vintage-y looking versions (available here and here) but please note that I don’t know how they’ll look when printed! if they’re wonky please let me know!
