#mabudachi trio

[cinderella-ish]

today's fruits basket hot take: these three are a younger version of the original mabudachi trio

yuki = hatori

constantly beset by the other two

doesn't try to hide his annoyance

still loves them dearly

knows they'd do anything for him and are largely responsible for him surviving and healing from severe trauma

probably bi but in deep, deep denial

at least one of the other two was definitely in love with him at one point

booksmart

has a bit of a complex about an aspect of his appearance and everyone knows it

needs to learn how to relax

most likely to call member 3 of the trio an idiot

fell for a woman who's both hyper competent and a complete disaster

falling in love marked a huge step in their healing

responsible and dependable

extremely low opinion of self

reserved and mysterious but really kind of a mess

haru = ayame

white hair

unique personal style

breaks school uniform code and looks great doing it

frequently declares his love for Yuki, much to Yuki's chagrin

makes wearable things

openly bi, fuck the haters

shows his love in unique ways

says ridiculous things with no clear indication of whether he's being serious or not

sees the best in his loved ones

loves hard

fell for a cool woman who also has a unique personal style

the curse was a barrier to his relationship

people wrongly think he's an idiot

way more observant and thoughtful than he's given credit for

kakeru = shigure

seems carefree, is actually incredibly calculated

will needle people in pursuit of information/own goals

booksmart but doesn't mind if people think he's an idiot, possibly encourages that perception so people will underestimate him

openly bi but always in a joking way so there's ✨plausible deniability✨

casual, easygoing style also probably a calculated choice

knows how to have fun

handsome devil

actually hangs out with people who aren't the other two or his romantic partner

reveals very little of himself to all but a select few

rejected the life that was laid out for him in childhood & broke free of assigned role

was already in love before the series started

definitely gives their romantic partner multiple headaches a day

good at giving advice in metaphor form

sees the big picture

manipulative and single-minded in pursuit of his goal, but more empathetic and caring than he'd ever admit

actually does help the first member of his trio, wouldn't believe you if you told him that

Ahhh my favourite trio! I love their relationships and interactions so much. Inspired by my also favourite ending 'Eden', I wanted to draw them ✨majestatic✨ like a proud and magnificent dragon... snake... and dog?

Hatori X Mayu 

Mabudachi Trio’s Kabedon !!

[shiguresshitposts]

can confirm that hatori doesn't remember three weeks of his life and ayame and i made a pact to never tell him

#shigure #hatori #ayame #fruits basket #mabudachi trio #hey what if i made an ayame shitposts blog but he types like a facebook boomer #that would be fun

[the-sage-libriomancer]

Some fruits basket aus i would never write but sometimes think about out of morbid curiosity:

AU where Tohru is the cat spirit and Kyo is Kyoko's son

AU where Tohru never met the Sohma family and the curse broke suddenly and messily several years later

AU where all the zodiac animals are switched (Yuki is the rabbit, Shigure is the snake, Ayame is the cat, etc)

AU where the zodiacs ages are randomly switched around (Yuki is 19, Kyo is 10, the Mabudachi Trio are 15, etc)

AU where Akito actually fucking kills one of the zodiacs while rage-attacking them (maybe Rin or Hatori) and it immediately has Consequences

#this is tangentially relatedly to the last post #all of these aus would fundamentally break the themes and/or alter the characters #but by golly are they interesting to speculate about #fruits basket #tohru honda #kyo sohma #yuki sohma #tw: abuse mention #tw: murder mention #sage speaketh #au tag #edited for your convenience #(<-changed the wording on something nbd)

Year of the Rabbit

It is year of the rabbit (by Japanese reckoning), for the second time since the curse broke.

In 2023, the Mabudachi Trio will be 52 years old, Kureno 51. Ritsu in their late forties, Akito in their mid forties.

Kagura will be 43, Rin 41 or 42. Tohru, Yuki, Arisa and Saku will be 41, Kyo and Hatsuharu will be 40, Momiji 39, and Kisa and Hiro 36.

This year will mark the 25th anniversary of the death of Kyoko Honda (and the 25th anniversary of the beginning of publication of Fruits Basket in Hana to Yume).

This year is one of the likely years that Fruits Basket Another takes place.

Pile on the years.

[bittersweet-dani]

for personal reasons, my least favorite out of the mabudachi trio.

I think Zoroark is a good fit for him as a ace.

#fruits basket #furuba #pokemon #shigure sohma #zoroark #this one gave me trouble bc #my laptop and program were fighting me #i am also not the best at drawing creachure

[ghostietea]

Also should probably say that I made everyone the same age to fit Homestuck logic so all the trolls are like 13 at the start of their session, then everyone is 16 by Tohru's session and 18 by the time everything gets wrapped up. Akito's not the most far off but also that means... 13 year old menace mabudachi trio....

tagged by @highstrionics thank you so much!! ♥ and sorry, it took me quite some time to do this ;;

-

fave colour: I don’t think I have one favorite colour actually. But I tend to love shades of purple, blue, pink, grey and green a lot.

currently reading: Not reading any novel at the moment (even though I have many (way too many) in my to-read list. But right now all I can read is fanfiction. Pretty obsessed with this svsss fanfic (bingyuan, magical boys au) Balala Like Magic, You Transform My Heart by Kuku88 at the moment!)

last song: I’ve been listening to nothing but lofi hip-hop for the past two weeks. I don’t know why I kept denying myself this for such a long time because turns out it one of my favorite things to listen to and it’s been doing wonders to help me motivate myself into writing. I’ve been listening mostly the classic Lofi girl, but also found this band and especially this video from them, which I’ve been listening in repeat lately!

last series: First Kill. Watched it with a friend when he was over at my place because we didn’t know what else to watch but it was... disappointing tbh ;;;

last movie: It’s been so long since I last watched a movie that I don’t... even remember what it was, huh. I think it was Encanto? God, it’s been a while...

currently working on: Working on a SVSSS fanfic at the moment. I wrote 4 chapters so far and still have a lot to do. I just hope I’ll manage to finish that one (I have a bad habit of dropping wips, reasons why I no longer publish anything...) SVSSS is a fanfom that inspires me so much, though, it’s crazy. Like, I have a good dozens of fic ideas and parts of me really hope I’ll manage to write them all.

share 10 different favorite characters from ten different pieces of media in no particular order, then tag 10 people 🎥🎬📺

(this part took me forever tbh 10 different pieces of media is a lot for me, and having to pick just 1 for each piece was also super hard ;;;

1. Shen Qingqiu (SVSSS) - God SQQ, what a dork. I love him. I love him SO MUCH. So much. He’s my everything.

2. Cloud Strife (FFVII) - I cannot make a list of character and not mention him. He’s been a fave for roughly 20 years, after all.

3.  Lan Wangji (MDZS) - What to say, he’s a dear, I adore him ;v;

4. Crowley (Good Omens) - Favorite fallen angel~

5. Axel/Lea (kingdom hearts series) - By far my favorite character in the KH series. 

6. Atem (Yu-Gi-Oh! DM & Season 0) -  Possibly one of my very first fictional “crushes”.

7. Frodo Baggins (LOTR) - Kinda like Cloud Strife, he’s been a fave for so long. I adore him.

8. Thanatos (Hades by Supergiant Games) - As far as I can tell, everyone loves Thanatos in Hades, and for very good reasons. I think me saying “He’s a dear, he’s a dork, I adore him” is valid for literally every single characters in this list =‘D

9. Ja’far (Magi The Labyrinth of Magic) - You know, it’s funny because I don’t actually like Magi all that much, and dropped the manga fairly early on and yet Ja’far remains one of my favorite characters. I loved him then, I love him still. 

10. Mabudachi trio (Ayame, Shigure and Hatori Sohma - Fruits Basket) - Can’t mention one without the other two so I made an exception here and picked all three. Teenage me adored them so much aah 

-

Tagging 10 people is just too much, I never know who to tag ;;; But feel free to do this even if I’m not tagging you!

Tagging @oddishblossom ; @demoiselledefortune ; @spacedoutpup ; @xkilluas(only if you guys want to!)
