A SOCIAL THREAT this is so funny
holds up totty. his little neet buddy
i didn't mention it in there but i feel like the sharing onigiri during curfew after cyoa was a nice moment...
oh yea that was really cute...
also i was kind of laughing looking back at their first conversation because actually totty was talking about his own depression in that so bad while just pretending to be wise and acting like these were just other people's unfortunate experiences
like YEAH, I GUESS SOMETIMES ADULTS JUST GET STUCK IN THESE RUTS AND ACT NOSTALGIC FOR THE PAST BECAUSE THEIR LIVES SUCK NOW... PRETTY LAME
totty nooooo throws him in therapy
fyi i'm still working on these gradually rosamund's is just going to be a beast because there was a lot going on there
kabby this thing is so long
TOTTY ILU AND YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS AAAAAAAAAH
i remember thinking a lot about his response to the cyoa and how it meant so much that he did open up eventually, but also in the moment of her trying to talk to him in the food court it was also a good wake up call like, not everyone is going to want to be coddled all of the time
and that maybe she should be more considerate of him, because he's not dealing with things in the same way as she expects
he was really interesting to her both as someone who is like herself, but also a reflection of a much more modern era and a totally different sensibility and genre, and she wound up relying on him a bit as a grounding force?
like no matter how shitty things were, totty was always ready to have fun and keep things light, and after a week or two he was pretty quickly one of her favorite people on the ship
and she felt pretty protective of him too, just knowing he wasn't from some horrific background and seeing how easily he would lose confidence in himself
THAT SAID, post everything, i think she would look back and go Oh My God, he was so obviously into me, I'm so stupid -- DURING THE TIME SHE WAS LIKE
pretty fixated on her own unrequited dramas and also having a big existential crisis, both before and after the murder/ressurection, and she'd relegated him to someone reliable she didn't have to try too hard to be anything around
but as a result she kind of wrote off some of his mannerisms as just being shy or a bit silly, instead of VERY OBVIOUSLY CRUSHING
it should also be noted that again, she has spent next to no time with people her own age before and her gauge on what is normal friendship and what attraction looks like is skewed
i think she would make a point of explaining a bit more about why she fucking hanahaki'd so hard all over him and to apologize, and offer him whatever he needs, be it space or friendship or more time to talk
she'd be devastated to lose him and he has a standing invitation to come to the Neverafter, and she'd try to visit him at home, she wants to meet his family (even if he believes it's a terrible idea kcxhkxkhdhk)
cries
he'd let her come over since she's already seen how shitty his family is so it's not like he can hide it... he'd just try to steer her away from osomatsu in particular because he's gross and objectifying and he doesn't want her to deal with that lmao
god he also just. has no idea the person she was actually into was sidon. which honestly he'd be more okay with because sidon is objectively the best guy in the world. i think he's still thinking it was scien or something which he's

about
i was crying at sidon being so concerned about hurting him in rosamund's thread with him after the party because he has actually been so shitty in similar situations
SOBBING I HATE THAT HER STUPID FIRST CRUSH IS THE WORLD'S WORST KEPT SECRET, she's mostly over it and would like to be Scien's friend eventually, she just needs to not be around him for at least several months

but it did wrack her confidence in everything else unfortunately
also this link doesn't work on mobile I'll try on my laptop later
but aaaah im glad TY TOTTY FOR ACCEPTING HER COMING AROUND
and sidon .....is the bestes boy....a bro
oh it works for me but maybe it just depends on what video types your phone can play
i linked it in chat before so you might have seen it anyway, it's just the thing where he and karamatsu both like the same girl and he's a little shit about it
it's so funny lmao it's just like
kara: i'm rooting for you!!
todo: you like her too, don't you? are you holding back because of me? did you think that would make me happy?
kara: ah, well...
todo: because it does, thanks bro. bye

made funnier by the fact that sidon was assigned karamatsu in the bathroom sextuplets cast w0
