itty bitty little rant about something that no one cares about.

[sexyscholar]

well, icanhaspancake might.

but i think even she'd tell me to just shut the hell up about it.



pfft. okay. so i finished the series earlier today, and i was kind of mad at the way it all wrapped up. mainly in terms of hiei and kurama, natch.

but! so pretty much the ENTIRE season, there's been this maybe-not-so-subtle subtext with the two of them. and it's not that my slash goggles are on too tight -- it really is there. tv tropes said so.

check it out. bear in mind that all of this is CANON -- it's not fan art. yoshihiro togashi, the creator of the series, did this.




(the hell is this cowboy shit? idk.)




(kurama? gayest pose ever. jsyk.)




THIS. I CAN'T EVEN. :THROWS UP HANDS:




RIGHT OUT OF THE FUCKING SHOW YOU GUYS.

ok, anyway. so this connection has been building between them all four seasons long. they're always RIGHT next to each other (as you can see above.) hiei doesn't gives two shits about the anyone else on their side EXCEPT kurama. in kurama's final battle, he gets hurt and hiei fucking gasps. it just. :flails: it's really obvious.

(yeah. i've analyzed this crap. SHUT UP.)

well, all of a sudden, in the second to last episode of the series, somebody decides, OH NO WE CAN'T HAVE THIS SO WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE STUFF AND IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY SENSE.

suddenly, hiei's playing house with mukuro (who i actually don't mind, because even she is pretty much like, "hiei, you know you're in love with kurama. you'd be so much happier if you just went over there and snogged the hell out of him acknowledge your true feelings." but. still, hiei's a loner. if he'd live with anybody, it'd be the person that knows him best. AND THAT'S KURAMA.

and. at one point, hiei gives kurama his necklace that he's worn pretty much since he was an infant. and someone decides to make it a point for kurama to say "i'm not interested in you that way."

bullshit. kurama's been lusting after his little fire demon for years.

i just. :flails again: it's not fair the way they ended it.

i still love the series though. and i'll ship hiei/kurama forever.

because i believe that's what togashi wanted. ♥
