"LET ME PAY YOU!"

Pairing(s): kyojuro rengoku x reader

Synopsis: how kyojuro met his civilian wife

Genre: fluff

Warning(s): n/a

Kao's Notes: just something to put out there while i work on requests in the meantime :) enjoy! <3

"EXCUSE ME, MISS!"

"OH MY G—!" *BANG* "OW!"

you hit the top of your head on the bottom shelf of your stall as a loud voice rang through the night. you ran a popular food stall in the small, lovely town you call home. people loved coming by your food stall for the service, the food, and for a chance to talk with a beautiful lady. each day, you decided to try a new recipe, and everyone was eager to see what you'd be serving every day.

"forgive me," the loud voice called again. "it was not my intention to startle you!"

"i-it's alright." rubbing the crown of your head with a slight pout, you rose to look at the owner of said voice. "i–um–wasn't expecting many people to come by this late, so you caught me by surprise."

taking in the man's appearance, you quickly gathered he was a demon slayer. the distinct design of his haori, the nichirin blade at his hip, and the obvious uniform was a dead giveaway.

you smiled, "would you like something to eat while you're here? i'm making gyu kushi(beef skewers) on top of rice, along with some mochi tonight. you'd be the final person i'm serving!"

the man's smile nearly blinded you, "yes! i would appreciate that very much!"

"great!" his smile was so contagious. you couldn't help but to deliver one as well. "how many orders would you like?"

"that depends," he stated loudly, excitedly slamming his hands on the counter and smiling at you. "how many are you willing to make?!" that's...the first time you've received that response.

"o-oh...uh..." you looked beneath your stall again. "well, i could make the rest of my inventory for you..." you lifted your head to look at him with a nervous laugh. "although, it's a considerably large amount of food, sir."

he laughed, "if you are willing to make it, i am willing to eat it! and no need to call me, sir! i am rengoku kyojuro!" you couldn't stop yourself from laughing along.

"then i'll be happy to make it for you, rengoku-san!"

kyojuro watched you gather the ingredients and quickly get to work on prepping his food. it was clear this was like second nature to you. you worked so diligently and moved with unwavering certainty.

"so," you began as you continued cooking but kept your gaze on kyojuro. this caused the hashira to look at you. "what brings you by this late?"

"a mission," he stated proudly, his smile never leaving. "it is completed, but i always stop by to check on towns nearby!"

"well, that's nice of you," you stated before finishing his first plate of food and handing it to him. "here, have a taste before i make the rest."

he loudly thanked you before placing the beef skewer between his teeth, pulling one of the chunks of meat off with his teeth.

"TASTY!" another bite. "TASTY!" a bite of rice. "TASTY!" a bite of mochi. "TASTY!"

you clapped your hands in delight, overjoyed that the hashira found your food so tasteful.

"so, everything tastes okay? would you still like to have the rest, rengoku-san?" you asked, although you're sure you already knew the answer.

"yes! i would love the rest!" he began fishing around in his pocket. "how much would it be?!"

"oh no," you quickly shook your head and quickly began preparing the rest of the food with a content smile. "i never charge the slayers that pass through. it's the least i can do for you all."

"please!" he slammed a pouch of coins onto the counter, causing you to shriek at the loud noise. he leaned forward, eyes boring into you with conviction. "ALLOW ME TO PAY YOU!"

"i-it's no trouble, really!" you jumped back from the close proximity. he only leaned in closer.

"THIS AMOUNT OF FOOD WOULD SURELY MAKE A GREAT PROFIT FOR YOU!! LET ME PAY!!!"

"b-but, the sales i've made today are more than enough already!!!"

"TAKE MY MONEY!"

"i don't need to!!!"

you two continued back and forth like this as you finished cooking the remainder of his food, packaging them nicely in cute boxes, which only fueled his desire to pay you. as you had given him the last box, he beckoned you to him.

"if you will not let me pay," he placed his free hand on his hip. "then allow me to escort you home!"

placing a hand on your chin, you paused to mull it over. it was pretty late, and you did live on the other side of the town. even if it was small, it would grant enough time for a demon to stake its claim on you.

"alright," you finalized with a greatful nod. "sounds fair!"

on the way, you both engaged in a quiet, lovely conversation. topics ranging from your cooking, his work as a slayer(at least the parts he could tell you), or your childhood, the atmosphere around you was peaceful. now, the current subject of the conversation was family.

"yes, you're right," you respond with a smile as rengoku concluded a story about his little brother. "it can be difficult to care for little siblings. especially if the parent is...more or less present." you cringed at your lack of better term, but kyojuro didn't mind at all. "my parents, unfortunately, fell victim to a demon, so i understand."

"very much so, and i am sorry to hear that! my condolences to you!" he responded with a solemn nod before asking his next question. "i take it you have a sibling then?"

"mhm," you nodded with delight as you drew nearer to your house. "i am the eldest of seven."

"SEVEN?!" he immediately fished the pouch of coins back out before shoving it in your direction. "SUCH A LARGE FAMILY! NOW YOU REALLY MUST TAKE MY PAYMENT!!!"

"i told you already," you pushed it back toward him in defiance. "i don't need it!" he tossed the pouch towards you, leaving you no choice but to catch it. "hey! take it back!" you tried to hand the coin pouch back to him.

"my apologies," he exclaimed after using his other hand to hold the food as well, even though he didn't need to. his smile never faltered as he blatantly ignored your attempts to return his money. "but my hands are full! i can not hold anything else!"

"but you were carrying it one-handed this whole time! you can just–"

"my hands are full!"

"but–"

"i can not carRY ANYMORE!"

"ren–"

"IT IS A PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE REASON AS TO WHY YOU MUST KEEP IT!"

you gave up.

kyojuro–1

y/n–0

upon reaching your house, you turned face kyojuro and gave him a polite bow.

"thank you for walking me back, rengoku-san," you stood straight. "you really didn't have to...nor did you have to pay me."

"it was no trouble at all," he smiled down at you. "and please, call me kyojuro."

you opened the door, and entered the doorway to your home chorus of "NII-SAN" called out to you. fondly shaking your head at your siblings(who were supposed to be in bed by now), you turned back to the hashira and returned his smile.

"alright, well," you placed a gentle hand on one of your little brother's heads, who'd been tugging on your shirt to get your attention, and replied in a hushed voice. "goodnight, kyojuro. have a lovely evening, and please travel safely."

he visibly brightened once he heard his name fall from your lips, and a gentle smile was bestowed upon you.

"goodnight to you as well, and thank you."

as you closed the door, kyojuro happily went on his way but stopped. he couldn't believe he forgot such an important piece of information.

oh well, he'll simply have to find his way back to you because he never got your name.

🔅Wed morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

( Update 1 of 2 )

🔻AIR ATTACKS.. 

.. North - Hezbollah

ROCKETS at Gesher HaZiv, Nahariya, Sa'ar, Hanita, Ya'ara, Metzuba, Shlomi, Betzet, Lehman

ROCKETS at Margaliot

ROCKETS at Even Menachem, Zarit, Netua, Fassuta, Shomera, Shtula

ROCKETS at Alkosh, Matat, Netua, Fassuta, Hurfeish 

Interceptions without alarm reported over the Kinerret

.. South East - Iranian Shia Militias of Iraq

SUICIDE DRONE at Kushi Rimon

.. South West - Hamas

ROCKETS at Kissufim

▪️TERROR - KOCHAV YAIR.. ramming attack - 4 policemen were injured and the terrorist was shot dead.

▪️VIOLENT ANTI-GOVT PROTESTS JERUSALEM.. MK Zeev Elkin:  Hard pictures in Jerusalem. There is no place for breaking the law and harming the police! There is no place for police violence and excessive use of force!  Please stop! We are not enemies to each other. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran are the enemies! We are in the middle of a war against a murderous enemy who wants to destroy all of us, the supporters of the government and its opponents.

Head of Shin Bet.. “The violent discourse on the Internet and some of the scenes we saw tonight in Jerusalem, go beyond the accepted rules of protest, harm the ability to maintain public order, may lead to violent friction with the security forces, hinder them from fulfilling their duties and even harm secure individuals.

There is a clear line between a legitimate protest and a violent and illegal protest. This is a worrisome trend that may lead to dangerous areas that should not be reached."

And our enemy watches Al Jazeera and laughs.

▪️IDEAS.. Head of Yisrael Beitenu, former Minister of Defense, MK Avigdor Lieberman:

"The Israeli government must make two immediate decisions:

1. In the security field, there is no justification for purchasing aircraft for a total amount of approximately NIS 35 billion. It is impossible for militias in sandals to be able to launch cruise missiles and UAVs (suicide drones) towards Israel, while in order to attack in Yemen, the Israel needs to put an entire squadron into the air for a flight thousands of kilometers south.

Therefore, instead of purchasing airplanes for approximately 35 billion shekels, you can purchase airplanes for approximately 20 billion shekels, and invest 10 billion shekels in establishing an effective missile force that will meet the security challenges, and five billion shekels to strengthen the land army.

2. In the economic field, we must immediately bring to Israel about a quarter of a million foreign workers, who are needed in the construction, industry, agriculture and hotel industries.

After almost half a year of war, it's time to change mindsets.”

( Update 2 of 2 )

🔻AIR ATTACKS.. 

.. North - Hezbollah

ROCKETS at Alkosh, Matat, Netua, Fassuta, Hurfeish 

▪️CEASEFIRE LEAKS.. The Lebanese Al Mayadeen from a "senior source in the resistance": The new proposal submitted by Israel today does not provide an answer to the main issues that Hamas insists on and therefore there is no progress in the talks.

Al-Arabiya: Israel showed some flexibility proposing establishing 3 safe crossings to the north of the strip, but demanded health checks on the hostages in return.

▪️MORE INFO ON ARAVAH DRONE ATTACK.. At around 1 a.m., a suspected drone flying from the eastern direction entered Israeli airspace in the Arabah region, just north of Eilat, according to the IDF.

The "suspicious aerial target" set off sirens at a popular roadside store in the area.

The IDF says it fired an interceptor missile at the target, although it is not clear if it was shot down. (Fabien)

▪️MORE INFO ON THE RAMMING ATTACK.. a 26-year-old man from the Arab city of Tira rammed his vehicle into four cops near the town of Kochav Yair, police say. One of the officers was seriously wounded.

The assailant then fled to a nearby West Bank checkpoint, where he allegedly tried to stab the guards there. The guards at the Eliyahu Crossing returned fire, killing the suspect.

His family: our son has mental disorders. It was not on a nationalistic basis.

▪️IRANIAN SHIA MILITIA SAYS ATTACKED HAIFA?  The Shia militias in Iraq claim: We attacked the airport in Haifa early in the morning with a UAV.  No such attack.

▪️PASSOVER ECONOMY.. Min. Of Economy found a 32% gap between expensive and discount grocery chains on the ‘average basket of Passover foods’.  It also noted an overall 4% increase from last year.

ateez watching indian movies with you

author's note: i'm a brown atiny who majored in film aka bollywood/indian movies are a huge part of my identity— i was watching kal ho naa ho the other night nd was thinking abt whether or not atz would watch indian movies w me and what their reactions would be. also, i def missed a huge chunk of movies so pls excuse me ehe

taglist: @k-hotchoisan @eyeryis @sinnarols @aaasia111 @sunshineangel-reads apply for the permanent taglist here!

hongjoong: this poor baby he's so dedicated to his work but would do his best to make time for the two of you to watch a three hour long indian movie with you, only to fall asleep part way through. he'd last the first 10-15 minutes then pass out, and if you're watching a south indian film, he'll immediately wake tf up when a gun goes off or during the first fight scene. he'd really want to watch rrr with you but fully fall asleep, only to be scared awake during the scene with ntr jr (bheem) wrestling the tiger and be scared shitless from there. however, if you're watching a romcom? gl bc the man is definitely fully asleep and will wake up at the end and say, "that was good i enjoyed it!" you want to be mad at him, but he looks so well rested that you're glad he enjoyed the movie in some way, shape, or crazy form. but fr he'd love the movies that are super detailed and conceptual like if he watched pushpa: the rise, he's definitely highly anticipating pushpa: the rule. he's a 2 part film kinda guy imo he loves the long development and the intensive research and the dedication a director puts into his work. i think he's a rajamouli guy for sure. maybe even like sholay, lagaan, english vinglish— you get the idea.

seonghwa: seonghwa's a super emotional audience member— everything affects him so deeply, especially scenes with heartbreak or little kids. like, the scene in kuch kuch hota hai where kajol (anjali) finds out that srk (rahul) is in love with rani mukherji (tina) and she's just sobbing and then the song plays? hwa is fully sobbing. he's like clinging to you and drying his eyes and you're patting his back while whispering "it's just a movie it's okay" but it's not okay because unrequited love HURTS. he's definitely more of a bollywood romcom person and probably will want to binge all of srk's movies with you one night, and during the most romantic songs, he'll stand up and copy the iconic srk stance (you know the one with his arms stretched out and then the female lead runs into his arms) and he'll 100% expect you to run into his arms. he's a karan johar bitch fr... either karan johar or yrf. i feel like he wouldn't really vibe with south indian films and end up preferring the sappy, bollywood romcom. but, he's totally an indian serial slut and would binge everything like there's no tomorrow (yeh rishta, iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?, bade achhe lagte hain, and so on) but in terms of movies, he'd love kabhi alvida naa kehna, kabhi kushi khabi gham, kal ho naa ho, dostana, kuch kuch hota hai, chalte chalte (just call him an srk stan and move on).

yunho: one word: golmaal. he would love the shit outta rohit shetty i'm telling you. like, yes, he appreciates the fine cinema that comes from india, but rohit shetty's got him rolling on the floor in fits. yunho gives such bakwas indian movie vibes but we're here for it— like, the dumbassary in golmaal 2 is everything to him, and chennai express would send him into fits (especially the drunk srk scene). he'd also 100% get up on his feet and start dancing to the upbeat songs in the films more than anything, though, he would fully make fun of the super dramatic scenes with the bawling and sobbing— and i'm not talking about truly tragic scenes but like when the sadness is overdramatic and it suddenly starts raining while the main character is crying (specifically the song tujhe yaad na meri aayee from kuch kuch hota hai) so it's safer to stick to the dumb funny movies... maybe give good newwz a whirl

yeosang: yeosangie is happy to do anything and everything with you even if he knows the movie will confuse the shit outta him. you'd probably start the guy off on the sequel to a movie (my brain immediately went don 2 or dhoom 2) and he'll be so mad confused the whole time, so he'll keep asking you questions during the movie because he wants to be just as invested in it as you are. more than anything, though, he's more invested in you explaining the movie because of how passionately you talk about the plot and the characters and the dialogue— you might as well forego the movie and just describe the movie to him while spooning in bed. that being said, he'd probably also rewatch the movie a couple of times to fully wrap his head around the film now that he's acquired your commentary and can pair it with the visuals in the film. either that or the poor thing would fall asleep... but he'd fall asleep on your shoulder and just sink into your embrace so fuck the movie just cuddle and take a nap while armaan malik sings in the background

san: san is such a wild card imo but let's be real i feel like he'd be such a horndog while watching movies so it doesn't even matter what movie you put on he'll only be half present, especially if the don series or race series or lust stories is playing oh dear god don't show this man cocktail if you want to actually watch a movie with you... or pathaan dear lord help BUT i feel like he'd be more interested in the family related movies— like where family is everything so k3g, ala vaikunthapurramuloo, bomarillu, chillar party, main hoon na, tararumpum, etc. also maybe even the ones about friendship, so zindagi naa milegi dobara, 3 idiots, dil chahta hai, jaane tu ya jaane na, rang de basanti, kai po che— again, the wildest of cards. he'd be down to see anything honestly. anything for his love wink wonk

mingi: god this boy i feel like he would ask all the questions in the world like every other dialogue it's just another question (but they're all related to the movie so it's... okay?) but he just won't have the patience to wait for the next scene to answer his question. no, he wants to know from you so movies like 83, chak de india, dil bole hadippa, paan singh tomar, jersey (BUT THE TELUGU ONE JFC NOT THE HINDI ONE I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH), dangal, basically any sports movie would be best for him because most of his questions would be about the sport so there's no chance of you spoiling the movie for him but i feel like he'd also be a huge priyanka chopra fan but some of her filmography is........ traumatizing? confusing? i'm thinking fashion specifically for trauma while what's your raashee? is just so unbelievably confusing. he'd also like deepika padukone, alia bhaat, samantha, rashmika— as long as she's pretty and a talented actress, mingi's gonna vibe

wooyoung: indian movies are his jam imo he'd get up on his feet every single song and dance his heart out even if the song is super duper sad (man's is fully dancing to naatu naatu but then also sadly jamming to komuram bheemudo two seconds later the duality is insane). his favorite actors are definitely allu arjun, vijay, hrithik roshan, varun dhawan, tamannaah— and he would rewatch the shit outta abcd and dhoom 2 because the dance numbers are truly impeccable. movies like abcd, rab ne bana di jodi, chance pe dance are right up his alley but i also feel like he'd have fun watching bunty aur babli, jhoom barabar jhoom, race gurram, etc. he's a happy-go-lucky kinda movie guy, imo

jongho: jongho's the type to be super judgmental but like in the best way possible. he sits and watches the movie quietly with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyebrows furrowed. super quiet and super serious. you sneak glances at him every so often but you seriously can't tell what's going on in his head until he debriefs you after the movie is done, which could go one of two ways: he spares your feelings and tells you he likes the movie (if you tell him that this movie is your most favorite movie in the world) or be completely straightforward with you and dive into an in-depth film analysis. i feel like he'd prefer the movies with gorgeous soundtracks though and want to learn to sing some of the songs (we hate kabir singh in this house but bekhayali would shake his world, and fanaa oh lord he would love that ost with all of his heart... maybe even the main hoon na ost) but lordy any ost with sid sriram is his JAM

[jalebi-weds-bluetooth]

Hi Jalebi, how are you doing? I have to say this. Your take on Shyam and Kushi relationship dynamic amazed me. It is a very unique perspective which many wouldn't have thought of. It makes so much sense and it makes my heart break more for Kushi. :(

So for my ask, I have a fun one. Arnav is a very private person and even more so, when it is about Kushi right! But somehow in their sangeet, they all know about the almost-kissiya. Apparently from her reaction, it isn't Kushi who spilled the beans. So in your view, with whom did Arnav discuss this and how do you think that conversation might have gone? And what would have been the reactions of all family members from both sides, when that person discuss this publicly for writing those lyrics?! I have always wondered about this and it made me laugh trying to imagine this. Lol.

Thanks for answering this.

Hello Anon,

Thank you for liking my post! It is still painful for Khushi that she has a terrible support around her life tbh.

Haha, that is an EXCELLENT question. To be honest a lot of the sangeet felt like such a fever dream because so much did not make sense? LIKE WHO WOULD KNOW ABOUT THE KISS AND WHY?

Also, jokes apart it was also during the time when Arnav was committed to someone else so it's him telling his family that he cheated on his partner and his family... gladly putting that in a sangeet?

It's honestly so difficult to imagine this because it's two things - given Arnav he would've either told this in confidence or by mistake, and either situation clearly means of course this is not something to put in public.

Either way to be in canon I can imagine NK begging Arnav to tell him something romantic about his love life. It would be funny cause it would go like this:

NK OS: The Tales of Nannav and Khushi Ji

Arnav: Khushi tells me I must help you.

NK: Aww, and you never not listen to her, don't you?

Arnav: Yeah... that has had a great effect on your life expectancy.

NK: *cough* Thank God *cough*

Arnav: So what do you want? And be quick.

NK: I need to know what is something romantic that you did to hear and the moment or explanation behind it or what happened afterwards!

(Arnav pauses to think for a few minutes)

Arnav: I bought her bangles,

NK: Wow Nannav, then?

Arnav:: Then I refused the fact that I bought the bangles.

NK: ... do you have anything else?

Arnav: Yeah... I saved her in the rain.

NK: Amaz-

Arnav: After I sent her to manage my company's parking lot post working hours.

NK: Nannav, that's not romantic.

Arnav: I know, I agree. How about us being mistaken as a newly wedded couple in Nainital?

NK: OMG, finally that is so romantic.

Arnav: Yeah, maybe. I mean Khushi did empty half of my fuel tank so we were stranded midway, we got beaten by some goons and at the end we learned that Babuji had a paralytic-

NK: For God's sake Arnav, give me ONE romantic moment.

Arnav: I kissed her cheek by the pool.

NK: Yes!-

Arnav: And I told her she was incapable of accepting the challenge to kiss me back.

NK: WHAT THE F-

Arnav: Umm... talking about that I did nearly kiss her by the pool during Diwali?

NK: That's it, shut up, that's perfect. Do NOT give me explanation. I beg of you do NOT give me any explanation.

Lol... to think of it this is hilarious.

Best,

JWB

Extremely random but- Demetri has really pretty lips.

Why does no one talk about them, they are like so pretty and they look so soft. I want to kiss him so bad.👀

This man is so underrated and you're right, he has such pretty and extremely kissable lips 😍

I feel like kissing him would be so soft and tender. Even just a simple brush of the lips would be gentle and nice because they look so kushy and soft.

I imagine him being obsessed with kissing too. Like, all he wants to do is kiss his partner no matter where they are/what they're doing. Like, they can just laugh or be doing physical labor and the urge to go up to them and kiss them is strong. It's always there and it's never going away.

Deep, senual kisses and make out sessions are divine. Soft lips smashing together, getting wet, sucked into one another mouths.

Biting his lip.

When little ant(khushi) took down the mighty egoistic elephant(ASR)

I was re-watching the office track, because 1 I don't have a life and it's my escape mechanism.

What I saw is Arnav is a elephant in the office, every1 talks about him, stares at him, makes way for him, he is at the top, just like elephants. Even though 🐘 r not the king of jungle they r status is very high.

On the other hand in the office Khushi is an ant. Every wants her out, stamp on her self esteem, create hurdles for her and just like an 🐜 she faces her hurdles and achieves her goals and is comfortable when have her family and friends are arround(her colony).

We all know khushi is not that significant employee to AR designs that she would get so much attention of o so great ASR yet she does. Like La mentioned to Asr that y r u so concerned about a small employee".

Hence, for ASR her value is exactly like a 🐜, he doesn't care. But when Khushi is in his vicinity, he is completely shooked. Just like if the 🐜 is on the ground 🐘 can easily stamp on it and it's the end or the 🐜. But if Ant climbs on 🐘 body the only thing on his mind is the ant, and getting it out. Which is exactly what the situation is. Eg the footage leak of the sheesh mahal,not in his vicinity where as now she is in his office and bit in his house and every where he goes and he is shook.

We can clearly see how the elephant is getting defated from an 🐜. Our lovely 🐜 (kushi) is doing her work diligently.

The mighty egoistic 🐘 Defeated partially.

Hello! If it isn't a bother, could I ask for your own interpretation on the possible meanings behind Kashuu's character song in Toumyu's Bakuten rerun, Akakihana Chirimagou? Personally, I think that Toumyu tends to use flowers as a metaphor for human lives. I also think that the nighttime is used as a metaphor for death and the end of an era. I know that Toumyu likes to keep meanings open for headcanons, but I would love to know your own thoughts! It's a beautiful and powerful song.

Hiya! :D

Thank you for your message! It's been a while since I've looked closely at the meanings behind the songs and themes of "Musical Touken Ranbu ~Bakumatsu Tenrouden~ 2020", so I had a lot of fun with this! xD "Akaki Hana Chirimagau" is such a beautiful and powerful song ♥

My personal thoughts in how I interpret the metaphors you've mentioned run close to yours (Yay for Toumyu headcanons!), and please find an elaboration of this under the cut.

Featuring:

Sato Ryuji as Kashuu Kiyomitsu

Torigoe Yuki as Yamatonokami Yasusada

Tochihara Rakuto/Sadamoto Fuuma as Okita Souji

The Red Flower: Kashuu Kiyomitsu

As a character, Kiyomitsu has always been associated with flowers in Toumyu, described as "the crimson rose that bloomed by the riverbank" in his character establishing line in "Touken Ranbu". This motif is carried forward in "Akaki Hana Chirimagau", which, as stated in the title, talks about a red flower that falls and scatters.

It is also interesting to note that the form used for the word "red" in this song is "あかき" (not "赤い"). In this form, the word is commonly used in the phrase "赤き心", which means "true/sincere/faithful heart". So, "あかき花" can be read as the "true/sincere/faithful flower", which tells us about Kiyomitsu as a character. 

The reason why I think Kiyomitsu is associated with flowers builds on your metaphor of "flowers = human lives". Even though Kiyomitsu is a sword, his life is actually closer to that of a human's than a sword's. This becomes especially important in "Bakumatsu Tenrouden" as it is the main point of contrast between him and Yamatonokami Yasusada.

Because he has experienced "death" like a human, Kiyomitsu understands the inevitability of death, the inevitability everything good cannot last for eternity (symbolised by day time). And that, eventually, just like how day will turn to night, it will all come to an end (which also ties in to your interpretation of how "night = end of an era/death"). This understanding can also be seen in "Noraneko Nihiki" where he tells Yasusada that "the night, the dark, it will definitely come, that's something that will never change".

Like a Sparkler: Kashuu Kiyomitsu the "Human" Sword

I've always loved how Toumyu is very aware of the era that Kiyomitsu is forged in, and how this awareness can be seen in the way Kiyomitsu is portrayed and packaged.

In "Akaki Hana Chirimagau", the idea that Kiyomitsu's life is more like a human's than a sword's is further emphasised with the use of the imagery of the sparkler. The sparkler is a hand-held type of firework that became popular in Japan during the Edo period (the period that Kiyomitsu was forged in) because the use of gunpowder for war was decreasing.

(Other examples: During the "Musical Touken Ranbu Kashuu Kiyomitsu Tanki Shutsujin 2017", a kanzashi and kushi set was included as merch. This is a very explicit reference to love and romance during the Edo period. More information about this can be found at this post: HERE )

Besides that, similar to the flower, in Japan, the sparkler is often seen as a symbolism of life and the ephemerality of life. So, it probably comes to no surprise that the Japanese use flowers to symbolise the different stages of the sparkler, which is what the lyrics talk about throughout the song.

蕾 (tsubomi): Like the bud of a flower before it blooms, the sparkler glows and ignites, symbolising the start of life.

牡丹 (botan): The sparks scatter, symbolising the period of youth where people move forward while hesitating as they try out different things.

松葉 (matsuba): The sparks look like pine needles as they gain strength and momentum, symbolising the many milestones of life.

散り菊 (chirigaku): Like the scattered petals of the chrysanthemum, as the fire of the sparkler slowly dies, it symbolises the last quiet years of life as death approaches.

Sword and Master: Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Okita Souji

"Akaki Hana Chirimagau" also becomes the song that "Asagi-iro Sakura" is built on.

"Asagi-iro Sakura" tells of Yasusada's point of view of Okita Souji, his and Kiyomitsu's former master. While it's interesting to me in how Toumyu tends to directly parallel Kiyomitsu and Okita, even more interesting is that this parallel is usually at its strongest in how Yasusada looks at Okita.

Throughout the musical, whenever Yasusada sings about Okita, he is actually also singing about Kiyomitsu, and this culminates in "Asagi-iro Sakura". By tying it directly to "Akaki Hana Chirimagau" (in its melody and imagery), it reinforces how closely intertwined Kiyomitsu and Okita is in Yasusada's mind.

Because we are mostly told about it from Kiyomitsu's point of view, on the surface, Yasusada wanting to be by Okita's side at Ikedaya seems to be entirely about his attachment to Okita. But in that moment, it is revealed to us that, for Yasusada, it was never only about Okita; to Yasusada, being at Ikedaya also meant being by Kiyomitsu's side, being there for Kiyomitsu, when Kiyomitsu broke.

(This also builds on 2016's "Bakumatsu Tenrouden" where Yasusada says to Okita, "I'm glad to have been your sword. It is thanks to you that I was able to meet that guy.")

Additionally, tying both those songs together gives us an insight into Kiyomitsu's own point of view of how he views himself and Okita. Yasusada defines himself and Kiyomitsu by their similarities to Okita (symbolised by the colour "blue", which is used to represent both Yasusada and Okita). But, Kiyomitsu tends to separate himself from Okita (symbolised in Kiyomitsu's "red" to Okita's "blue") even though they are similar (as seen in how they are both symbolised by "flowers that bloom in the night").

Random thought but I do wonder if my oc would be able to pull you 🤔 like, would Kushi pull you? Or would her older brother, Karma, pull you? 🤔 or would you despise any of them flirting with you?🤔

Anw

Imagine you come too early from a mission and you're fuming and Suguru promised to wait for you by the gate of the school but you've arrived way earlier so he's still sleeping and when you get there he sees how upset you are about being underestimated so he's there to cuddle you and shit talk the elders, lol

~🦊

She has a brother???? 🤨 please elaborate

Ok I feel like kushi and I could be a one night thing—OR fwb. Like nothing serious (I can barely see myself committing with anyone, more so kushi because our issues are similar? So like I can see us having relationship issues a lot)

I mean I particularly wouldn’t mind any flirting but ykyk—I see us having a “got too mad at each other but can’t fight so we’ll just fuck each other and so ensue angry sex”💀so yes lmao

Also for that, Suguru would be absolutely so sweet about it—was he asleep? No worries, gone in a second as he holds you close and reminds you just how strong you are or just how much you’ve improved<3

He wouldn’t whisper sweet nothings this time though, be assured everything he says is genuine—maybe whilst training bf he’s tough and maybe he won’t goad you too much but he’s so so proud of you.

▪︎ IPKKND Ep 64 : Arnav throws Khushi out of his house then brings her back !

"I don't want to see this girl's face. Sometimes she gives her resignation, sometimes she sells her sweets in a party, how many excuses she makes to come here and today, you brought her here?"

Arnav is losing control because he feels like she's toying with him. It's humiliating to him. He doesn't think clearly because of the intensity of the despair he feels at this moment and of course because he doesn't trust her yet. After all, they barely know each other. Love and passion entered them without giving them the time to get to know each other and learn to trust each other. It's a very delicate and dangerous way to fall in love.

> I find a song  (Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes) describing so well Arnav thought process in my opinion when it comes to his own way to protect himself from love and therefore from Khushi (at least this part of the song) :

"I'm never gonna let you close to me Even though you mean the most to me 'Cause every time I open up, it hurts So, I'm never gonna get too close to you Even when I mean the most to you In case you go and leave me in the dirt"

"The girl who insulted me, who dares to talk over me, who has argued with me is standing infront of me in MY house!" Just when Arnav was shocked and hurt hearing Khushi summarizing how he misunderstood her just after he risked her life, Khushi has the same reaction here when she hears him recalls everything she said to him.

"With her talks and with her innocent face, she might have won your hearts but not mine. I already saw her real face. She's the type of girl who can do anything for money." Gosh I really could feel how kushi felt so humiliated, so denigrated and so belittled by his words. 😭 Imagine hearing the man you feel in love with telling this to you ?! And she can't even defend herself, she'll let him disrespect her cause she needs money to help her family ! 😥

"No matter how much you try, I won't let you succeed in your plan. I won't let you make space for yourself in this house. Now stop it. It's enough."

He accuses her now very obviously again to try to seduce him for his money, IN FRONT OF HIS FAMILY. This is a huge evidence of the fact that his panic attack here is very much a think, he has always made sure in the past that his family doesn't know how involved Khushi might be in his life or at least his intimate life.

"I won't let you access to my heart that easily ! Who do you think you are?! I'm not your toy! I'm not that weak." He's suspecting her again. Arnav doesn't believe in coincidences. And therefore, the thought of not being able to stop his feelings for her, even while doubting or knowing she might have bad intentions scares him so much ! He feels so helpless. Just like her ! He wants to take control again. So as he always do, it takes actions.

Seeing her leave just as he asked, but in tears break his heart. Cause her tears hold a sincerity he can't deny. He realizes how randomly and deeply he just hurt her. Her tears don't lie.

His impulsivity fades away immediately after understanding how far he went, after realizing he made her cry. He doesn't doubt her tears (for now 👀) and he hates seing her turning his back at him. It hurts him so much. He doesn't regret asking her to leave. But he can't stop himself from feeling sad seing her leave.

Then, Asr wanting to follow the plan of action he made in his mind (to maintain a distance with Khushi cause he's sure at this moment she is having secret motive to stay in his life while pretending to not care about him), orders Anjali to let khushi go away. But she refuses, he then reminds her that it's HIS house.

Anjali is shocked and angry. She didn't expect him to be willing to hurt her over something (in her eyes) not that deep (Khushi presence in their house). I understand Anjali's anger here. She blackmailed Khushi to save her family from separation. She knew she was doing something wrong, she felt guilty but still did it for the sake of Arnav. And she expected him to do the same for her, to try to ignore (what she thinks is his) hate toward khushi to save their family. She doesn't know that Khushi is actually the woman he loves.

"this is MY house !"

It's very VERY rare for Arnav to talk the way he did to Anjali. He was furious and definitely rude to her. This is how his feelings for Khushi makes him lose control of everything in a dangerous way. No one is spared, not even Anjali, the most important person of his life (for now). And I think he inherited this way of loving from his mother !! 👀 (I'll explain futher in the futures recaps, you guys are not ready for my new theory haha !!)

Arnav realizing how much he hurt Anjali, immediately tries to correct his fault. Fearing Anjali will being too furious and disappointed at him, he goes to Khushi's house to "ask" her to come back, deliberately showing off money to hurt her pride but also to make sure to be convincable enough without having to apologize to her (his trashy behavior of course driven by his misunderstanding of his motive toward his "money" and "power").

Poor Khushi, she's been so disrespected by Arnav but she can't refuse his money. She needs to help her parents. She once again feels so helpless and humiliated.

She will burry her feelings and tolerate as much as she can. She doesn't have a choice anymore.

But he then realizes why she accepted Anjali's offer : she needs to help her father. He realizes he misunderstood her motives yet again.

He's trying to pretend what he just heard didn't affect him, Asr makes sure Arnav's real emotions aren't showing too much !

Notice how the director focusses on Khushi closing the doors, I think it's the clue that tell us she's now closing her heart to any kind of doubt she used to have about their mutual attraction.

This whole scene is in a way the last proof she needed to secure her thought of him being a bad man (for now).

(Sanaya Irani's acting in this scene was incredible ! You could really feel how heavy that new humiliation weighted on Khushi's heart !)

There are only two things I wanted to see happen at the end of Naruto

1) The Hyuuga clan changing their way of living (and instead no one ever adresses the slavery and in Boruto Hiashi is some cute innocent grandpa and no one talks about the slavery anymore and it makes my blood boil)

2) Kakashi making public everything rotten about Danzō. I just hate the fact that we, as viewers, know how terrible he was but in-universe all the people who haven't first-hand dealt with him probably see him as some war hero who Sasuke killed without reason other than hatred towards Konoha in general. He deserves to be outed as the bastard he was

Hiashi himself did say the system was changed because of Naruto. I don’t really consider that enough tbh, but they kind f***ed the plot by killing Neji

As for Danzo, I wish the truth about the Uchiha massacre could have been known to all. Naruto had no reason to do as Itachi asked and keep it a secret. He owed nothing to Itachi and the village deserves to know about every action of their leaders. Hiruzen and Danzo both supported a massacre of one of the villages clans and used and manipulated a 13 yr old into doing it

The village deserves to know someone they looked up to did that.

That all their elders had a hand in calling for the murder of not just shinobi, but of children and elders. Of innocent people who had done nothing wrong.

But it wasn’t important to the plot so Kushi just decided Naruto was going to do as Itachi asked and it was forgotten about. I don’t think Sarah’s even knows what happened which is bs because that’s her clan history

Yuto: You have a sword?

Orochi: Kusanagi? I made it, actually, but it isn't mine. I'm borrowing it.

Yuto: Wait! That's- Did you steal that from the Imperial palace or something?

Orochi: No, of course not! It was lent to me by Kushi.

Yuto: Kushi?

Orochi: Kushinadahime.

Yuto:...

Yuto: Susanoo's wife?

Orochi: Yes.

Yuto:...

Orochi: We're family. I adopted all of her sisters. I'm like her awkward uncle no one talks about.

Seimei: -singing- We don't talk about Bruno-o-o-o! No. We don't talk about Bruno.

Orochi:...

Yuto:...

Orochi: -lowers sword- How are you the brains of this operation?

[a-different-tragedy]

Oof- ;-;

"Ahaha! Sorry for scaring ya, Kushi! I just wanted to come by and talk to you two."

"Right...."

"By the way, where's Andy?"

"He's resting up right now. He was visibly tired a few hours ago. He deserves the rest."
