It's such a shame that cigarettes and smoking is so hot yet so so unhealthy and how the smell clings.
Oh my god REAL. The visuals can go so hard but it's so not worth it. The clouds and wisps of smoke can be so mesmerising and seeing how some people playing around with the clouds like magic is extremely eye catching!
But also if I ever started smoking and got caught, I'm like 100% sure I'd have to fistfight my dad and that is a battle I would NOT win.
In regards to Mahiru smoking, it is hot, yes, but also EXTREMELY worrying because. Well. It's Shirota Mahiru. That kind of stuff would definitely affect him in a way that's noticable to the people around him.
Like sure, he'd absolutely be respectful of the people around him and only ever smoke on the balcony when the clothesline doesn't have anything drying that could pick up the smell, but he would NOT get away with it.
If not Tooru, if not Kuro, if not Sakuya or Tsubaki or Ryuusei and Koyuki-- then even Licht is going to step in.
Or more like the angel is going to kick the damn thing out of his hands and stare that boy down so hard he starts sweating. Talking about how Some Demonic Force Is Trying To Corrupt The Angel-In-Training He's Taken Under His Wing. So obviously if no one else is making him stop then he will.
Why?
Because he's an angel! *insert Lawless and a bunch of sparkles*
But yeah, no. It's really unfortunately hot but for Mahiru? Wouldn't last.
Also semi-off topic but the idea of someone taking a drag, grabbing ur face and blowing the smoke into your mouth is one of the things that Really Gets Me that I do not see very often when I see actors/characters smoking around other characters they have The Tension with. You see them blowing smoke into peoples faces as a deterent or insult but never straight into the mouth, and as a flirt. I need more of that please. I saw someone animate that in a random animatic that I've since lost (I cry) and it activated a neuron for me. I wrote a lil ficlet about Human!Sloth doing that to Mahiru once.
