Shinichiās immediate connection with Ran
(disclaimer: this is NOT a character analysis, i still donāt think iām qualified for anything like that, despite that i still love to write the things that pop up in my head. also this got out of my hands so i think iām going to write multiple posts about it š i love to yap about these two lol)
iām going through a serious case of missing shinran hours so i wanted discuss how feverish shinichiās love for ran makes me feel.
because heās really insane about ran, like out of his mind insane about her.
what will always get me is the fact that shinichi is a very rational character, heās a detective, a very skilled one. you wouldnāt expect him to be so irrationally in love and not even someone who falls in love in the way he did (at least for baby me who giggled and kicked her feet at the thought of a detective in a *shonen (?) manga* being so romantic and obsessed with my favorite female character. or at least in the way he does bc he literally acts like sheās his very purpose in life, the most important person to him, no complaints, no doubts 100% and that always made my heart explode - *cough* this is why iām obsessed with the childhood friends, boy seems to be more obsessed with girl trope *cough*) anywayā¦
i surely wonāt let my fellow shinran fans that this boy fell in love with her smiling face at four years, the second he met her. like this is very insane to me
he saw a glimpse of her through the window before even speaking to her and he decided that she would be the one who he anticipated the reaction for his deduction, he already decided she was going to be his watson š
thinking about how baby shinichi was already so invested and curious about her that he held ran in his heart and put her safety before anything. he did everything to conduce his tiny detective investigation in order to protect her
look at him :,) he was ready to risk it all for her, even in his tiny body. he was willing to face anything for her.
i feel like that despite being so little, he found his purpose in life is to protect her, that tender girl that strummed the strings of his heart. maybe because itās in his nature to do that, maybe because thatās how itās supposed to be. because even if ran can protect herself, shinichi has the natural instinct to take care for her.
this is why i love his love because itās so genuine. i will never imply that other characters love their other pair less but his love is absolutely outstanding, if he could find another way to love ran EVEN MORE, he definitely would. itās very dear to me that he had this immediate connection and fondness for her, since the very beginning.
i mean look at the smile he wears while admitting he was in love with ran since the day they met. to me feels like a āit is what it is and as a matter of facts i am in love with her and thatās itā smile.
being in love with ran has always been a trait of his life and personality. thatās probably the only thing he always been certain in life. this is why i love his confidence about it and how heās way more mature about his feelings compared to heiji (or even kogorou and the other characters, especially compared to adults š)
he literally admits that ran is his dream. this is canon. i did not made this up.
heās so serious about her to the point of dreaming of marrying her (multiple times)
and wanting to tell her father with his own voice the status of their relationship, bc he really wishes to make a good impression on kogorou š
i will continue this in another post bc as it turns out i have a lot of thoughts about shinichi being a lover boy so i want to share them with you guys and maybe you can tell me more ideas and your own perspective. i mean this is what a fandom is about, am i right? (˶ᵠᵠįµĖ¶)
