the meaning behind the kanji of mizu and taigen's names is literally not ever gonna leave my mind.

like are you kidding me. mizu is 水 ("water"), we all know that. but what drives me insane is that taigen is 泰源 ("peaceful origin").

so when you put them together ("tai" 泰 + "mizu" 水), you literally get "peaceful water."

MIZU ALONE IS JUST MIZU, BUT PUT TAIGEN NEXT TO HER AND IT'S MIZU, BUT AT PEACE.

ALSO, both "tai" 泰 and "gen" 源 contain the "mizu" 水 character as a radical. for those unfamiliar with japanese or even chinese, a radical basically means a building block for another character; so in this case, the kanji for "tai" and "gen" both use the kanji for "mizu" as one of their building blocks.

this is also why, while "gen" 源 can refer to any general type of origin or source, it also specifically refers to a fountainhead: a source of water, or the origin of a river or stream.

and like yeah okay i know that it's a 99.9% chance that the creators didn't even think about any of this. but STILL. the brainworms have fully taken over and i am going CRAZY.

#mizu x taigen #taigen x mizu #taimizu #blue eye samurai #like this is greatly the reason why i prefer taimizu over taizu as their ship name #bcs taizu is like. huh. what's the kanji for “zu”? it doesnt matter it's irrelevant here bcs “mizu” itself has its own kanji and meaning #the only way to spell out taizu then is to use the hiragana or katakana but in that case it wouldnt mean anything #BUT THIS???? GUYS..... IT LITERALLY MEANS “PEACEFUL WATER”.... “PEACEFUL MIZU”. LIKE CMONNNNN #taimizu in my mind = 💚💙=🌳🌊 #yeah i'm scheduling this post it's been in my drafts for way too long it's time to let it roam free #fandom.rtf

"all the fear and the fire of the end of the world happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl" - wasteland, baby! - i finished candela obscura the other day and thought i was normal about these two and then immediately realized that evening that i was, in fact, not! so please enjoy some soft, slight canon divergence art where everyone is fine actually, and they get to do more assignments together using their "betrothed" cover while totally not falling in love <3

#listen learning from the character creation video that most circles don't get their level of dangerous assignments made me feel things #these two deserved to get to be silly and in love together #weird rich girl and chivalrous street boy is kinda the dynamic ever <3 #the ring on arlo's finger is part of their cover (auggie is wearing a matching one but it's hidden ;-;) #but charlotte and howard have noticed they definitely wear them more than they need to #composition based off that one movie screenshot that's all over pinterest #idea is that they're tucked away after a party (assignment turned out to be a hoax) so they're free to hang out for a while #candela obscura #candela obscura fanart #candela spoilers #critical role #arlo black #auggie james #arlo x auggie #these two dont have a ship name as of rn... #argust #? #my art

#of course in the book they're friends to lovers too #but i feel like the tv show leans into the trope more than the books did #wanted to summarise the difference between both versions #feel free to add #might do this for masriel too #because thats a clear example of the writers letting their bias take over and ruining a canon ship #hdm shitpost #lyra x will #pullman doesn't know the concept of time #i would say four years pass in the og hdm trilogy #so by the end of the book they're both fifteen so its fine #will x lyra #panjava #silverparry #his dark materials #hdm #will and lyra #will parry #lyra silvertongue #lyra belacqua #lyra and will #hdm season 3 #bbc his dark materials #book #tv show #philip pullman #the subtle knife #the amber spyglass #silver parrry

Toge likes to think, in another world, he and Yuuta would not have had to say goodbye.

He isn’t sure if the thought is comforting or disheartening, but he wants to believe that in some other version of reality, Yuuta is allowed to stay at Jujutsu High instead of having to study overseas. In another world, there is no tension weighing heavy on their shoulders and there is no departure looming on the horizon.

In this world, they are not so lucky.

Toge pushes his food back and forth on his plate, resting his head on one hand. He lets out a melodramatic sigh, though he knows it will garner no sympathy from the only other person in the room.

“You might as well just finish eating. You know he saved all his packing for the last minute,” Maki says. Her voice is sharp, but Toge will forgive her because he knows she gets meaner when she’s trying to hide that she’s sad.

Still, Toge pouts.

Maki huffs. “Yuuta would say—”

She stops abruptly, and the silence is filled almost immediately by Yuuta’s voice: “I would say what?”

Toge perks up instantly, twisting around to see Yuuta standing in the doorway. He smiles, though Toge can tell it’s forced.

“You would say Toge should eat,” Maki finishes. She stands up and carries her dishes over to the sink. “Skipping dinner isn’t going to change things.”

Toge shrinks under Yuuta’s scrutinizing gaze as Maki turns the sink on so she can rinse her dishes.

“Toge.”

“Bonito flakes!” He protests. I’m not hungry!

And, well, it’s not a lie. His stomach is swirling uncomfortably with the knowledge that Yuuta is leaving, and Toge thinks if he tries to eat, it might just come back up. The few bites he’d taken tasted like cotton, and it hurt to swallow each one, so he’d given up.

Yuuta frowns, like he doesn’t quite believe Toge but also doesn’t feel like he can argue. He takes a seat next to Toge, and Toge’s hand immediately finds his, linking their fingers together, trying to memorize how it feels to have Yuuta right next to him.

“Don’t stay out here too late,” Maki warns as she passes by. She ruffles Yuuta’s hair, then Toge’s. “We’ve got one last early morning training session with the four of us tomorrow.”

Toge groans and buries his head in Yuuta’s shoulder, only vaguely registering Yuuta’s assurance that they’ll be there before Maki slips out of the kitchen.

“Hey,” Yuuta whispers once it’s only the two of them. He squeezes Toge’s hand. “It’s going to be okay.”

Toge sighs. “Salmon,” he admits. It will be okay, eventually. But why should it have to be just okay? Why should Toge and Maki and Panda all have to say goodbye to Yuuta so soon? When he chose to stay at Jujutsu High even after breaking Rika’s curse, he chose to stay at Jujutsu High. He didn’t ask to be shipped across the ocean!

It’s not fair.

In the end, there are far worse fates sorcerers can face. Toge knows this. But still, Toge wishes…

He wishes he met Yuuta sooner.

He wishes they met when they were kids, struggling with curses far too powerful for them to control. He wishes they could have helped each other back then, wishes they could have grown together. When Toge was little, all he wanted was one person who could make him feel a little less alone. If he and Yuuta knew each other sooner, they could have eased each other’s loneliness.

They could have had more time.

Yuuta raises Toge’s hand to his lips and presses a kiss to Toge’s knuckles. “I wish I could stay with you all longer,” he says, rubbing the back of Toge’s hand with his thumb. “Besides Rika, I never had any friends until you and Maki and Panda. Even the second years are nicer to me than most kids at school were. I just…”

Toge looks up at him, silently encouraging him to continue.

“I don’t know.” Yuuta’s shoulders slump. “I’m grateful I met you all when I did. I trust the timing was right. But I wish I’d transferred in even just a month earlier.”

Toge purses his lips, then nods. He slips his hand from Yuuta’s grasp, then shakily signs, “I wish we had met sooner.”

“Yeah.” Yuuta sighs. “I was so lonely for so long. And from what I’ve heard, I think you and Maki and Panda were all pretty lonely too.”

“Salmon.”

Toge understands why Jujutsu High doesn’t allow students younger than fifteen, but he wishes there was some other way the four of them could have met. He wishes the family they found with each other had a longer lifespan than eight months.

(Toge knows: Eight months is eternity when you’re a sorcerer. But for anyone outside of the world of jujutsu, eight months is nothing more than the blink of an eye.)

“It sounds stupid,” Yuuta whispers, “but I already miss you. I haven’t even left yet, but I… I already miss this.” He bumps his shoulder against Toge’s. “You mean a lot to me, Toge. I— I never really met anyone who understands me like you do. Don’t tell the others, but out of everything and everyone I’m going to have to leave behind, I think I’ll miss you the most.”

Toge smiles, then dives in for a hug before Yuuta can see any tears escape his eyes. He buries his face in the fabric of Yuuta’s shirt, clinging to Yuuta as if holding tight enough could prevent him from leaving. His throat aches, though it’s different from when he overuses his cursed technique. This ache is heavy, weighted down with grief and love, and it isn’t something a little throat medicine can fix.

Yuuta’s arms wrap around Toge, hugging him back just as hard.

Eventually, Toge knows they will have to let go. They have early morning training tomorrow, and then Yuuta will have to leave for the airport, so he needs to sleep as much as he can tonight. But for what time they can allow themselves, Toge will hold on as tightly as possible.

In some other universe, maybe Toge and Yuuta met years earlier. Maybe they’ve known each other since they were kids and they grew into the relationship this Toge and this Yuuta have now. Toge knows no amount of extra time could ever be enough, but still, he imagines a better world where they knew each other sooner.

He hopes that alternate version of himself is happy, hopes he gets to hold onto Yuuta for longer too, and hopes he never takes that for granted.

In a perfect world, Toge and Yuuta wouldn’t have to say goodbye.

In this world, they were lucky to get eight months.
