Run and Go by Twenty One Pilots gives me Kuromahi vibes

Send me KuroMahi plots? Keep them PG-13 or less. Just Reblog with your prompt, since I really don’t know about the whole asks and messages thing here. I’m bad with tech, but hopefully I’m good with writing about these two. Thank you!

Haha. Well, I figured out how messages work here (I’m uneducated with tumblr don’t hurt me), so in case you want to send a KuroMahi plot my way, I’m open to it! Keep the prompt T (PG-13) or less, please. ^.^ Thanks!

I can’t just go to sleep without expressing my feelings for episode 9 of Servamp, can I? These opinions may not be very clear. After all, they are “sleepy” opinions.

I’ve always loved the clever characters in a series, especially if they don’t show much personal emotion towards others. Sherlock. Sometimes the Doctor from Doctor Who. Honestly, Misono takes the cake for this one. Sure, he made a miscalculation with assuming the details of Licht and Lawless’s kidnapping, but the way he handles the situation even after he realizes his mistake is remarkable. He’s not afraid to confront Sakuya, shooting some sharp jabs at him that cut right into Sakuya’s core. And yet, even then he still doesn’t have things figured out, and perhaps that’s why I feel drawn to Misono. He tries so hard, always has been. He wants to play his part, he wants to protect others, he wants to get stronger so he can achieve his goals. Misono doesn’t get close to people and can seem quite cruel or arrogant, but that’s simply because he doesn’t know how to handle things, because he hasn’t gotten much of a chance. Misono is just so human, and I can’t wait to see how that plays out in the future, how he continues to grow stronger, or even how he doubts himself. The development will be beautiful. Also, points for shortness! I know the pain, Misono. May I borrow your shoes?

Whales and Tsubaki. Seriously, that seems like the stupidest gag scenario ever, but I couldn’t stop laughing. The scene is so intense, and yet everyone is dressed up like some sort of colorful whale, while Tsubaki is just there like, “I mean, I can defeat you but, wat?” Come on. Isn’t it interesting at all? Where’s that laugh?

Okay. Enough shenanagins. On to the meat and potatoes. Kuro and Mahiru *rubs hands together like a fly*. Look at my posts, and you’ll see that I ship KuroMahi. However, if I didn’t ship them before, I sure would NOW. Though, I understand that romantic KuroMahi isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so I’m going to stray away from my own fluffy headcanons and get to the point.

Throughout this week, it had been made known to me that I would be in for Kuro feels. I was ready. I was snuggled in my blankets literally telling the screen, “Bring it on!” Of course, technical difficulties ensued and what should have taken roughly 10-15 minutes to get to Kuro’s background ended up being about an hour with repeated scenes of Tsubaki vs. The Power Whales…Whales Rangers…idk. While I was not moved to tears by Kuro’s past (which usually only happens when I watch something WITH someone, plus we must consider that I was expecting tragedy), I still find myself so empathetic towards it. Just that image of him in his little room of denial, head tucked in his knees, driven to tears in the reawakening of his past - it really struck me. I’ve felt that way before. No, I never killed anyone of course, and I haven’t really done anything wrong, but I often get overly worked up about a mistake I make. Nearly the whole day I just guilt-trip myself. I call myself stupid, then I try being rational and saying I didn’t make that big of a mistake, that it was someone else’s fault. Then I turn around and I realize that I really am the one to blame and it sickens me because that’s how the rest of my day goes. I can’t help but feel like people hate me no matter what. That’s what you call anxiety, that desolate white space. I think we all retreat to a desolate white space, and honestly, what made me emotional during the scene was the fact that yes, YES, someone has finally given an accurate representation of what I feel.

However, Tanana Strike does more than strike a cord with her audience, set up a relatable image, because here comes Mahiru, with his little speech, and that was just as much of a wake-up call for me as it was for Kuro. Particularly, when he said, “You are wrong.” It stings. You’re sitting there doubting yourself, telling yourself you’re an idiot, that you shouldn’t have done something, that you are WRONG, but when someone actually tells you you’re wrong…it hurts. However, what Mahiru says isn’t a scolding, but rather a justification of why you think of yourself a certain way and what that means about the person you are. Realizing you’re wrong means that you’ve shaped into a better person from yesterday, and if you want to continue growing, you have to do something. This is what I found the most surprising about the episode, minus the whales.

Taking this out of a metaphorical devotion to life and switching it out for a character study, point blank, I love Mahiru. It could have been so easy to make him the wimp who has some moments of courage, or the Gary stu who’s nice to everyone and is always there to pick everybody up. Yet, instead, Mahiru is human. He may seem like such a hero in this scene, but think of what it took. He’s slow to spot Kuro’s depression right off. He has very simple motives for stopping the war with Tsubaki. He hardly understands anything about the world of Servamps or the war ahead of him. I could go on, but I think you get the point that Mahiru is traveling blind. He doesn’t see the big picture right away, but here, in the mind of Kuro, he takes a stand because he’s taken the opportunity to reach out. However, it was Kuro who had to let him in. Back to life metaphors, Mahiru is just like friends of mine, or my family, people who may or may not see what I’m going through or stressing over. They may want to help, but I make no effort to let them in, because it’s a “pain.” It’s “troublesome.” I think that’s how it is for a lot of people, but I can only speak from my experience.

Maybe I’m just stating the obvious with this one, but it needed to be said. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and read this thinking, “Oh my god, what is this garbage?” However, nothing can change the fact that this episode touched me, and I’ll take its moral to heart.

I am creating a chat on the WeChat app for avid Kuromahi shippers like me to come together to mingle and obsess :) If you are interested, pm me and I will give details
