i don’t talk about this aspect of the series much but the portrayal of tohru’s grieving process is so poignant and heartbreaking. like i think it’s one of the things fruits basket did best.
i think that in grief it’s not that they died, because it’s hard to even comprehend that, it’s that they’re gone. Like something was once there and now it’s not. tohru keeps her mom with her at all times, with the picture, the lessons she’s been taught, the anecdotes.
i also think how she interacts with people regarding it is very accurate, she gets insecure in season 2 over discussing her mom too much, because she’s afraid she’s making the zodiac feel bad and making it all about her. i think this resonates with those who have lost people and don’t know how to interact with others over it. she doesn’t want to take away attention from others, but she doesn’t want to never talk about her mother.
and finally, tohru’s need to help isn’t just inherent kindness (the series has said kindness is a choice), while she is kind, she cannot bear more loss. it also allows her to not look inward and think about what she wants for herself, which is why it took her so long to realize her feelings for kyo. one of the most important plot lines and conflicts of the series still stems from the very beginning, because that is how much grief can color your life.
her allowing herself to live for herself, is a form of healing from all she’s been through. and i think her mom would be proud :,)

Yuki, Kyo, Kagura, Momiji, Tohru with a reader from zodiac
FRUBA CHARACTERS W ZODIAC!READER
((reader’s zodiac is based off of western/greek zodiac signs; will be capricorn!reader))
YUKI
Tumblr media
Is so shocked to find out there is a second zodiac curse
So grateful that there are more people like him
^^feels really bad about this
Bc y’all aren’t from the same zodiac - physical touch is even more dangerous
I mean,, imagine seeing not only a rat surrounded by clothes, but a weird goat-fish hybrid???
Regardless, tries to have physical contact with you whenever possible
Linking pinkies, resting his head on your shoulder, being shockingly close at all times,,
Is worried about ur scales dehydrating when you transform - tries to keep water on him for you
Makes sure you never feel insecure about your zodiac form like he does
Has a really lovely feeling of solidarity w you
Would do anything to protect your secret
Because he knows you would do the same
KYO
Tumblr media
Straight up thinks you’re lying at first
“There’s no fuckin way”
You tackle him to prove it
“wtf that’s not even a real animal????”
Gets v flustered when u transform back
Mans is fine being naked, but seeing other naked ppl?
Hell nah
Eventually just kinda takes you under his wing w an annoyed sigh
So so touch adverse; is so scared of you seeing his true form
Like with the rest of his zodiac - wishes he was like you
So envious, but in a way that carries a deep sadness
Shows his affection through banter and friendly violence
((Mans will not hold your hand; however will kick you behind the knees - gentle enough as to not hurt, but hard enough to make you lose balance))
Scolds you for anything that could put your secret at risk
“How did you even survive before you met me, dumbass?”
KAGURA
Tumblr media
So so excited to learn there is another curse
“We’re the same!!”
Is jealous of your animal form
You’re a cool, cute, mythical animal; and she’s just a pig?? Unfair!!
Constantly lets you know how unfair this is
Pretty upset that she can’t cling to you all the time
She just wants to show you how much she loves you, y’know?
Ironically, tries to do alot of mud and clay treatments to your skin and scales
Loves loves self care nights together
Isn’t opposed to cuddling when no one else is around, despite animals and then nudity
Doesn’t care if you see her naked
But anyone else???
Instantly branded a pervert.
Tries to keep you all to herself; “to keep the curse a secret, of course!!”
MOMIJI
Tumblr media
Another one that is genuinely Thrilled to find out there are more like him
But is also instantly worried
“Who’s your god? What are they like?”
When you assure him that you’re safe, is So relieved
Even after this, is nosy as all hell lmao
Wants to know Everything about Everyone
“So you are Capricorn, ja? Who is Pisces? Because I am a pisces too!!”
Thinks your zodiac form is adorable!
Loves sitting in-between your horns when you’re both transformed
Unsurprisingly; will be exceedingly touchy-feely regardless of transformations
Mans does not give a single flying Fuck
Even when ur in public and have to be careful of transforming - is never Not touching you
Holding hands galore!!
Shows you off to the rest of the zodiac
But doesn’t let you anywhere near Akito
You’re too precious
TOHRU
Tumblr media
Feels so blessed to be meeting more special and unique people
Is very vocal about this
Is also V nosy; but not in a malicious way
Plays guessing games as she meets everyone
((Usually gets it wrong))
Doesn’t know as much about the Western zodiacs, but is very excited to learn!
Very very cautious to make sure you don’t transform
Thinks you’re beautiful and fascinating when you do though!!
But wants to keep you safe
However, its a well known fact that she’s one clumsy mf
Me too, Tohru, me too
Will tell the most Wack cover stories for you
Wants you to be besties with her zodiac

Why Tohru Honda is not a Mary Sue
Definition of a Mary Sue: "inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers, liked or respected by most other characters, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous, and/or generally lacking meaningful character flaws" - Wikipedia
Tohru is not "inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers". She is competent in terms of domestic tasks and emotional intelligence/empathy because of her past. She grew up with a single mother who spent most of her time working. In order to help her mother, Tohru took over the majority of the domestic tasks and learned how to do these well. She has high emotional intelligence because her mother taught her well, as Kyoko is also shown to have high emotional intelligence. Being kind is not a unique talent/power. Tohru also has things she is bad at. She's explicitly shown to be bad at and struggle in school. She's also bad at taking care of herself and she can be a bit ditzy/oblivious. She's bad at martial arts/fighting, despite her mother having been a badass.
Tohru is liked/respected by most other characters, but again, she has high emotional intelligence and is a very kind and caring person. Why wouldn't she be liked by most characters, who all have some form of trauma and who all desire love and care and kindness?
Tohru is not extremely attractive. She's a cute girl, but she's not a great beauty. In fact, she's surrounded by the Sohma family, who are all extremely beautiful, and her two friends are also prettier than her.
Tohru is innately virtuous, but this is something she tries extremely hard to be and is something that she learned. Her mother taught her how to understand other people and the power of just being kind and she's carried that life lesson throughout her life.
She has meaningful flaws that drive the story. She's very stubborn when she thinks something is right, and she'll push even where she isn't wanted. Pushing Kureno worked out, but she had no idea whether or not Kureno felt the same way as Arisa and she didn't care. She has deep, unprocessed trauma regarding her mother's fairly recent death that also strongly impacts the story. She's careless with herself and will put herself in harm's way without considering the impact this could have on others (this is not a characteristic of a Mary Sue, but a flaw of a hero who will hurt themselves and their loved ones in order to help people). She avoids conflict when it's only herself on the line, to her own detriment.
Tohru is written with far too much complexity and nuance to truly be a Mary Sue. It's fine to think Tohru is bland, but to call her a Mary Sue and mean it is an insult to Natsuki Takaya.
