So, for my sanity. Let me get this straight (lol); Henry was in love with Camilla and she was in love with him. And Richard was also in love with Camilla but she friendzoned him. Francis and Camilla had kissed (twice) and Charles was furious. Francis was flirting with Richard the entire time ( "cubitum eamus") Richard fantasized about spending his old years with Francis (and they kissed ofc). Richard also described Henry in a very no homo way. Francis and Charles were secretly hooking up. And so were Charles and Camilla (also, Charles was an abuser, why don't people talk about that more?). Richard described Camilla to look very masculine and like Charles to a tee, so he also liked Charles (?). Bunny was a huge homophobe, kinda sus; also had a strange interest in Henry. And Henry was probably in love with Julian (that little weird kiss mentioned ounce). I am a missing something?
Donna. Donna. Donna, what tf is this book is about?
Julian: I don't understand young people nowadays, all they ever do is drugs!!! Disgusting.
Richard: *after taking Coke, LSD, random pills, probably meth, and other drugs* I know right! Tell me about it!
Sometimes I randomly remember Henry Winter didn't take the SATs for not being "aesthetically pleasing" and I wonder why I am studying in a field I am not interested in and wasting my life away; then it also hits me that Henry Winter was also rich as fuck and he can afford that.
Dark Academia is pretty in theory; it's too expensive for regular people. We can't go to exclusive colleges and do degrees in ancient languages and fine arts.
No wonder I read books to feed those desires I could never afford in real life.
INTP: why don't we have any food in our fridge?
ENTP: I thought you were doing groceries
INTP: when was the last time I left the house?
ENTP: I don't remember
INTP: What were you doing in the mall for four hours?
ENTP: I FORGOT OKAY
INTP: at least you bought other stuff on the list, right?
ENTP: what list?
INTP: you know what, let's forget it. You paid the bills right? You said you would
*light goes out*
ENTP:.....looks like I didn't.
INTP: it was my fault actually, to trust you with it.
ENTP: you want takeout?
INTP: is that an apology?
(nope I am gonna ignore the new chapter 116, didn't see it, totally)
These are some other ships I found (mostly from shipping fandom)
Special mention to Ranpo x Yosano, I do not ship them and only consider them platonic (Kunisano is better for me!) and Akuhigu which I also don't ship because I seriously don't see it at all, although I still consider it underrated.
I tried to add ships here that I personally consider underrated which means it's a completely subjective opinion/choices!
Any other ships you like, you can comment down!!!
Ps: THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING DANPO WIN I LOVE THIS FANDOM
Life is like a choose your own adventure book. Except you don't get many choices if you live by other people's rules. As Robert Frost said;
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
I feel like Fruits Basket had a missed opportunity to write a great arc for Yuki instead of him ending up with Machi. And I LOVE Machi and their romance is really cute but I didn't feel satisfied with that ending for Yuki.
When I first watched Fruits Basket I was sure that Yuki was supposed to be queer-coded and his arc about self acceptance and love was him coming out of the closet.
The reason for that is because of the way Yuki is constantly presented and the way he reacts to other people.
Yuki always gets mad at Kyo for calling him "girly boy" or "pretty boy".
He tries to put up at tough persona to try to appear more masculine.
He has a fanclub with both girls AND boys crushing on him.
Whenever he "flirts" with Tohru it would come off as awkward (I know it's because he considers her as his mom figure but still!!! And yet he has some unspoken rizz when it comes to flirting with guys tho)
Even his dislike of Ayame and not wanting to be like him was kinda him not wanting to come out of the closet (Ayame also gets a last minute love interest to make him more hetero. I thought he was definitely not straight)
It just made sense to me this was going to be his arc. Especially since Fruits Basket is sooo good at depicting emotions. I thought Yuki's arc was him overcoming his hatred of that part of himself and essentially coming out of the darkness that Akito had made him live in.
When the Student council members were introduced I thought Kakeru was going to be both a foil AND a love interest for Yuki. They just had that dynamic and chemistry that made it seem like Kakeru would change Yuki and help him understand his true self and feelings. I thought Machi was the quiet/ weird side character that would have a similar role as Kimi (comedic).
Then the whole Machi x Yuki happened and I was proven wrong. I didn't hate it but....Kakeru and Yuki just had so much growth in their friendship, I couldn't help but ship them.
I would have been happy with even a Bi-Panic moment for Yuki with Kakeru and Machi (who are both half-siblings)
Yuki just had the perfect personality and backstory for a good coming out arc but it never came to be.
(Ps: I am NOT hating Machi and Yuki's relationship. It's just that Fruits Basket had many opportunities to have gay characters but didn't commit to it)

Completed Chapter 3! My heart isn't ready for what's coming 💀
I am finding so many little details about Henry's personality!
Conclusion: bitch is crazy 😧
I hope I complete the re-read anyhow in June, cuz Pride Month y'all, this book is so gay 🌈
One of my “friends” asked me an interesting question.
Would I rather have the epic romance of my life or have a big of pile money for the rest of my life.
I choose the money and everyone started judging me.
Hey, romance is amazing, it’s exciting, its….Um beautiful.
But-
“The French are glad to die for love.
They delight in fighting duels.
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels.…”
And why shouldn’t I want that? My life, my rules.
