I saw this in a text post so my thought isn't original at all lol but I really wish more Ouran fans who see Kaoru as the nicer twin would remember he's only 10% nicer than Hikaru and is still very much a bratty, cunning, easily bored, spoiled boy. I remember most of the fanfiction I read on FF.net almost always depicted him as very sweet and thoughtful without many thorns or spice (and always in a wilting flower way bc of his internal conflict and struggles which isn't wrong but not his entire personality). And he can be sweet! And he is more thoughtful than Hikaru and definitely reads more! But Kaoru is even more cunning and scheming than Hikaru can be! It's why, even though I'm actually not a big fan of the pairing, KyoKao, I really do enjoy the renaissance in fanworks the pairing has bc the authors and artists do keep Kaoru's bratty, scheming side in all of their works along with his thoughtfulness, rampant metaphors, and overthinking. Kaoru was my favorite character when I watched the show as a 12 year old and I really enjoy the latest stories that don't minimize him as a character, along with pursuing the idea of him having a happy ending. ty!
haruhi said in a world where you can be anything, be kind
Every girlie (gender neutral of course), has that one shojo animanga they make their whole personality. What is yours, and why is or isn't Ouran Highschool Host Club?
thinks their opinions are facts and should be taken as such (delusional): hikaru, tamaki
knows their opinions are opinions but still thinks they’re better than yours (cocky): kyoya, kaoru
will have their own opinions and respect yours as well (civil): haruhi, mori
has their own opinions which are better than yours but will be civil with ulterior motives to take you down later (scheming): honey, kyoya
Hikaru having such mixed feelings about Kaoru's crush on Kyoya ranging from "this makes me uncomfortable and I won't unpack why" to "Kyoya is going to sell my brother to the mafia!!!" is the standard I subscribe to but I ALSO support his response just being (STANDING ON THE BED AND POINT POINT POINTING!!!!) YOU LIKE *KYOYA*?? A NERD?? LMAO???? and then humming the kissing in a tree song while Kaoru punches the floor in a mortified rage
just finished kakegurui season 1! kaede manyuda and kyoya ootori seem like same the same person in different universes to me.. especially with the way they scheme and think 1 billion steps ahead
what do you guys think?
Rewatching Ouran cause yes, and I like how Tamaki is smarter than he seems. Normally he's our favorite himbo who has the same iq as a bag of bricks, but he is pretty socially and emotionally smart. While he's oblivious to his feelings for Haruhi, it's hard to fault him for that, since that's due to his trauma. But in episode 2 of the anime, he was able to pick up the Princess Hanako was switching hosts to get Shima's attention. He also could tell the bitch from the 1st episode who's name I can't remember, lied about Haruhi attacking her and that she threw Haruhi's bag in the pond. He also has excellent grades according to the manga. And tends to be right, for the wrong reasons. Like when Haruhi got kidnapped in the manga. I really like Tamaki, he is best boy.
