Yes the lotus flower represents NeZha. (When does it not at this point.) Yes the hand is Macaque. I love this duo, sue me 😀.

And yes I'll do shadowpeach one day you shadowpeach lovers.

Finally I posted after 2 days! School has been ass so I'm sorry about the no updates. Hopefully this makes up for it, at least a little bit.

i did. however i missed some tidbits cause the stream kept cutting out for me lol

she was so lighthearted this ep. it was super cool how she assuaged tohru’s worries about her family

Kobayashi is such a well-written character, and despite the fantasy genre, she’s just so REAL?? 

Like she’s honest, doesn’t sugar coat or cut corners, but she’s not brutal with her answers either. When Tohru asks her if she’s too loud, Kobayashi doesn’t say yes or no, she says “there are some times I think so” (aka she’s being totally honest with her) and then goes on to say that having a somewhat loud/hectic life isn’t bad from time to time. It’s better than being quiet and alone. So she shares her honest feelings/opinions, but doesn’t hurt Torhu in the process.

But she’s not totally direct about certain, more serious things. She doesn’t blatantly address Tohru when she’s upset and be painfully optimistic like “Well it’ll be okay.” No, she changes the subject to something she knows will cheer Torhu up, because she doesn’t wanna be all smiles and tell Torhu things will be okay if they might not be, but she doesn’t want her to stay sad, either.

She also thinks the serious things through before making a decision to address them or not (i.e when she decided not to ask Tohru about her wound because she knew it was probably a touchy subject for her).

And not to mention how she’s the type to admit to others that she’s started to smile more often and change for the better since Torhu came into her life. And how she’ll tell others she appreciates Tohru a lot, but won’t tell Tohru herself. I feel that’s a really relatable thing to do because we’re all kinda like that with some people, aren’t we? She doesn’t explicitly TELL Tohru she appreciates her, but she shows it c:
