This is a LBFAD android AU. I called it chobitsu bc it came to me when I heard the Chobits theme randomly. It's not ACTUALLY a Chobits AU, but she does find DFQC discarded in the trash. He's a pleasure model that... doesn't work. Essentially he's fully functioning, except for the aspect he was made for.

Since LBFAD is a story about DFQC recovering his lost emotions, an android discovering his humanity is a pretty obvious parallel.

So she finds him and takes him in, and she's a bit of a hippy (I mean she's a twenty-something botanist who owns a greenhouse), so she just hires him on at her greenhouse and pays him to live and work there.

There's a bit of an asexual storyline to it as well, because he doesn't experience sexual attraction, and from the getgo he offers to go in to a technician and get repaired, but XLH is like no??? you're fine as you are??? He pushes for this again, once they hook up, and he does feel guilty because he knows this is literally what he was made for. But to XLH, he's just a person, so she doesn't like the idea of him altering himself for her. She wants all his development and growth to be organic.

Anyway he is eventually able to come into a sexual relationship on his own, after they've been together for a while, so yeah demisexual story.

Here's a very short snippet:

Could androids get bank accounts? Xiao Lanhua wasn’t sure. She cursed herself for the fact that she spent most of her ethics course in college daydreaming of her classmate, Changheng and doodling flowers in her notebook.

“Ahhhh never mind, I’ll just pay you in cash,” Xiao Lanhua reasoned.

“You’re going to pay me?” Dongfang Qingcang asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Of course.” She looked at him quizzically. “You’re working in my greenhouse, aren’t you?”

“That isn’t the standard. You are already providing housing,” he replied. “And I don’t know anything about flowers.”

the yoi movie does not exist, it never existed, and your belief that it did is just a mass hallucination

But seriously. Hating her bc your ship is stupid (plus InuKag is married canon now so no need to do that), but she did so many awful things and even the narrative acts as if ‘those things are in the past, so actually the cast should feel bad for ever doubting her and THEY should feel guilty about what happened to her’. It’s a huge narrative flaw. 

Because the things... aren’t in the past at all? Was manipulating Kohaku  (tbh this was the last straw for me) ‘in the past’ ? What about trying to kill Kouga for literally no reason? What about basically telling Kagome to fuck off when she (Kagome) saved her life. Those all happened shortly before her death. 

imagine telling a mentally ill person that being upset about a movie depicting a mentally ill person as a homicidal maniac is just a “fake woke act”

this is EXTREMELY difficult as you know those are my two fave things to eat in the world.

12. anime that should get more attention from others

you already know what one of them is:

(Samurai Flamenco! Masayoshi says don’t litter)

But also 

Macross Frontier is really popular in Japan, but over here it’s like… who? That is Robotech’s fault though, of course.

(PS watch Macross Delta too)

23. unpopular character you love

listen I would die for Asseylum and she deserved so much better than both Aldnoah the series and Aldhnoah the fandom.

24. popular character you hate

I already answered Sess, so again I checked ANN’s list of top favorited characters and lol… number #1 was uh…

god he’s so awful.

avex is just really stupid overall and they suck even in japan
