I would love for there to be a continuation of this where Hanako makes a gem out of Yashiro's love again, only to be surprised and see that this time, her love is directed at him (lol)

I love how Yashiro is legitimately now the Penelope of the series and she don't want no other guy aside from Hanako (same way how Penelope wanted no one but Odysseus).
I also love that she's in her slay era both figuratively and literally---AidaIro did so well in evolving her character.
Yashiro for real found the song Automatic Woman by H.E.R. and said let's switch it up and I love it for her.
If only this is what actually happened in the chapter/episode (T v T)
Hananene Tanabata Week! ~Day 4 - Wishes~
I'm a die-hard Jelsa fan, but if I had to (utterly had to) be limited to JUST the in-universe ships available for ROTG, then I'd ship Jack Frost with the Tooth Fairy, no question. I think they're also a very cute pairing.
First and foremost, from the time they first met, Jack just lets Tooth touch him and look into his mouth like it's nothing (I don't blame Tooth for her simpery though).
And before someone tries to be like, 'Well, she's the tooth fairy, it's what she does,' I get your point. But there's a difference between checking someone's teeth versus what she does in this specific instance.
Go to the timestamps of 0:16 and 0:32 in the video provided and then get back to me.
She (and her baby teeth fairies) are just all up on this man, she keeps looking into his mouth----AND HE SIMPLY LETS HER DO IT.
He doesn't push her off. He doesn't yell at her. Doesn't tell her to stop. Nothing. He just lets her search his mouth (lol).
I'd even argue that he doesn't even seem to be uncomfortable with it. Confused? Sure. Unexpected? Plausible. But he definitely doesn't seem to mind it too much.
While I wouldn't necessarily say this is proof Jack has 'feelings' for her, it is DEFINITELY a sign that he's VERY comfortable with her on a physical level. He doesn't not have a problem with her touching him or receiving physical affection from her. He's also checking on her at times and never appears to hate spending time with her or having her around.
And sure, it could very well not be (though I personally think it is) a sign of him having a crush on her, I do think it very well tells me he at the very bare minimum doesn't mind having her around. I don't think there was a time they interacted where she genuinely DID get on his nerves.
Plus, the way he treats the baby teeth (the tiny Tooth Fairies) is SO freaking cute. He treats them so gently and cutely. And in that same clip I provided, he doesn't even seem bothered when they gush over him, he appears to even be amused by it.
He's also so sweet to Tooth by comparison to everyone else (though, how could you not be? She's such a cinnabun---)
And let's not forget the oh-so famous hug scene at 1:09 in the video, where he straight up stares at her---manz is looking into her EYES and prolonging the contact. Even one of the baby teeth had to step in for a second and be like, "you're staring too hard there, sir."
I don't care bro---Tooth Fairy x Jack Frost is freaking adorable
I only heard of these two since basically yesterday and I'm already obsessed with them. I'll take a comic, a TV series, a movie, a book---something---anything but I need more of them PLEASE.
We need more couples with their dynamic, I am BEGGING like Måneskin!
Going feral over Hananene is always an understandable reason so I don't really mind xD
I really like revisiting the earlier chapters after reading the newer ones because it helps give new perspective on the earlier interactions of these two.
The way how Hanako speaks to Yashiro, even from the beginning of their partnership, is so cute and sweet in a way I don't know how to explain. Sure, he's definitely still a jerk at times, but the general manner in which he interacts with her makes me smile like an idiot.
I like how he's not even angry or too upset with her, he's simply like, "Stop the cap. Just fess up and I'll help."
I legit hate it when people do this.
when they put freaky ah smut in the fluff tags 💔
People complain about how Leon Kennedy (specifically in the Resident Evil 4 remake) shuts down Ashley's attempts to flirt/compliment him. Some take it as him being blunt, some take it as him not liking her, and some think he's plain dense. I personally choose to interpret it as him just trying to keep his job by not flirting with the client. He's being paid to protect, not be her boyfriend. I think most people would be hesitant to reciprocate interest in the daughter of a man who could easily order a national manhunt for your skull as he calls for secret service.
I feel more bad for Yashiro than I do Hanako in this situation, ngl. Don't get me wrong, I do understand why he's upset but I dunno, just something about Tsukasa kissing Yashiro without consent gives me the ick. Who knows, maybe it's just me.
They mean everything to me ☺
The perfect cover for a Spotify playlist I'll never release.
