KOMAHINA WEEK!!

I have a fun headcanon. I posted this in an AA discord server I’m in and I figured why not on tumblr as well!

When Phoenix is working as a pianist during the 7 yr gap. Maya BEGS him to learn how to play the steel samurai theme song on piano and it’s literally the only thing he knows how to play perfectly because Maya was practically breathing down his neck while he was learning to play it making sure he got it right.

Like to the point she would have him video call her during his practice sessions to make sure he’s actually learning to play it and not just bluffing to her that he is lmao.

mf suddenly got real relatable wtf

Higuchi’s Unrevealed Ability

my theory on what it could be…

i think that Higuchi’s ability will be called “Takekurabe” (Growing Up/Child’s Play) after her most famous work, and i believe it might have something to do with reincarnation. here’s why…

in this official art she is featured with red spider lilies, which are symbolic of death, but are also thought of as a bridge between heaven & earth…a reminder of the “cyclical nature of life & death”

Takekurabe also explores themes such as how life is fleeting. & also abt being forced into a role that you didn’t want, or wouldn’t have chosen for yourself

(plus potential foreshadowing: in this official art, Higuchi is surrounded by pinwheels— which symbolize childhood, but also the cycle of life, & the buddhist teaching of reincarnation)

back to reincarnation…

after being told that Akutagawa may never wake up, she reached out to him & a glow appeared around her hand— like she was activating an ability— before pulling away bc she remembered that he didn’t want her (or anyone’s) help

but this means that she’s able to give help in this sort of situation

additionally, the fact that she almost always appears in official arts w Akutagawa indicates that she will probably use her ability on him at some point, which makes sense considering his terminal condition

(note the pulse in the background, his bright eyes, & her white suit)

because we have yet to see her use her ability, i’m assuming that she can only use it once, so she’d be giving up her life for Akutagawa’s (a life for a life— his reincarnation)

this would imitate irl Higuchi’s unfortunately short life— with her having died at only 25 years old. it also makes sense to give her such a powerful ability since irl Higuchi is such an important figure in japanese history— japan’s first professional woman writer of modern literature

now for a less likely, but fun theory…

i wonder if Higuchi’s sister has anything to do with her ability (in bsd she’s unnamed, but her irl sister’s name was Kuniko so that’s what we’ll call her)

according to Higuchi’s bungo episode, despite her literary genius, irl Higuchi was practically useless without her sister

Kuniko was the one who made what Higuchi did possible & kept things functional behind the scenes

so i think it’d be super interesting (& a cool irl reference) if Kuniko was involved in some way with Higuchi’s ability (i also just want to see more of her bc this sister duo is so cute :’))

bonus: when i watched this anime adaptation of Takekurabe, this was the ending scene & i wonder if it was harukawa’s inspiration for this official art 🥹

white lilies represent purity, & since they were off by the side of the road, they might have represented the character’s fleeting purity. white lilies are also used at funerals to represent a soul’s return to purity & its journey to the afterlife… which circles back to the reincarnation theme 👀

I know this is kind of a detail amongst all the stuff that happened in episode 120 but I can't stop thinking about the smudged blood on monty's lips, cause it's just kind of romantic and tragic to me 😭 like most lovers have lipstick marks from the person they kissed and he has Will's blood.

Although yk what it is a nice lipstick shade. Someone get Monty some red lipstick

omg so many people are interacting with my posts😱😱 (13 activity) and I've mostly just talked abt tadc and dhmis but thats bc those are what im consuming rn but im actually pretty multifandom, I could list it all down but I'm afraid we'd be here all day and I'm not very keen at the thought of typing a lot. so just wait and see for my other fandom ramblings soon.

yes!! I am making iit^^ it's going okay so far, I thought I should update lol

GANG WHAT IF I MADE A MIZISUA ANIMATIC. GANG
