Is Natsume just going to check in with Tanuma about what's going on in every episode from now on.
"Today the youkai gave me magic sculpting clay and it came to life I think."
"cool cool good to know"
"today they made me do arts and crafts"
"interesting interesting that doesn't seem normal"
"today they made me do the beta for their manga"
"are the yokai in art school??? What is even going on here"
We've gone from Tanuma being distressed that Natsume never tells him anything to Natsume providing him a daily update about how the yokai are terrorizing him this time. I'm happy for them
i hope your march is filled with happiness. i hope you spend your days warm in the spring sunshine. i hope you get to see the first flowers start to bloom. but most of all i hope march is kind to you. you deserve it.
My thoughts have been swirling around the lizard recently. Specifically two questions come to mind:
To what extent do others perceive the lizard tattoo?
How does Natori experience the lizard tattoo?
We know that people with the ability to see yokai can see the lizard. However, in the anime, the lizard's appearance is usually accompanied by a sound effect, like skittering or slithering (idk if there is any indication of a sound effect in the manga). Is it actually making a noise or is the sound just used to immerse the audience into the strangeness of the mark? Could people who perceive yokai hear it moving if they listened closely?
I'm also wondering if Natori can somehow feel the lizard crawling on his skin. This seems less likely given the way that he describes discovering it when he was a child (visually noticing it). The thought of him feeling it crawling constantly is actual nightmare fuel to me lol.
Anyhoo, I might be overthinking it, but happy to hear other theories or thoughts on Natori's tattoo.
Natori's mask is an idealized version of a man. Not even an idealized version of himself, but something else entirely. As much a character as any other he plays. Natori doesn't believe any of the stuff he spouts- or if he does it's only skin deep. It's someone he would like to be. Someone nicer and friendlier and good with people. Someone desirable. It's a heavy weight that he willingly carries every day because anything is better than looking in the mirror and seeing himself
Matoba would tell you he doesn't have a mask, and he might even believe it. Mask? What mask? Maybe there was one, once. He was too young to put it on, so his parents did it for him until he could tie it on himself. "The Matoba Heir", "The Strongest Exorcist Family", "Hunters", "Hunted". These are heavy titles, many would drown under them. But now their weight keeps Matoba grounded. Who is he without them? Some stranger, probably. If there is a mask, he has grown to fit it perfectly. It is him. Not even he knows what's underneath.

cupcakewarReblogged versaphileladyloveandjusticeFollowI thought s7 episode 4's pacing was a bit weird, so I decided to check the manga and see if it was paced better and it is largely, and there are some cute character moments I wanted to post. But I wanted to say what I wanted to say when I saw the episode:I CANNOT believe it took 83 chapters/7 seasons for us to learn Natsume and Kitamoto are the kind of book nerds who will get excited discovering a used book store and say stuff like "I bet there are hidden treasures here" and "wow it's so irresistible" THIS IS IMPORTANT INFO YUKI MIDORIKAWA MA'AM i needed to know this earlier!I guess now that I think of it there have been times Natsume's just reading somewhere, like the time he got nailed in the head with a ball. And I can see how liking reading could have come about, lonely children love the sweet embrace of the library (source: was a lonely child who basically lived at my school library).But yeah, Kitamoto's just a big ol' nerd. We learn what kind of books he likes in this chapter. But I'm curious what books Natsume likes? The people need to know.611

cupcakewarRebloggedforgetful-nerdFollowThe fun part about “short-tempered, hot-headed, misunderstood” Raphael is that, at some point in the story, his brothers do start to understand him and get to know him better outside of his false bravado, and he has no idea how to handle it when they do. Like….in the later seasons of 2012 TMNT…If Raph said (jokingly/teasingly) that he hates Leo to Leo himself, Leo would respond, “Well, that’s too bad, because I love you, little brother.”And that would virtually shut down all Raph’s smartass remarks.448378
