ALSO if you plan on retweeting from JP fans on twitter before thursday, do not use spoiler images as your twitter icon for the same reason
kaneki’s message is one that has been my personal driving force for the last couple of years- that life can be ugly and cruel, you will be hurt and hurt others in an endless cycle, but it’s all worth living for the beautiful experiences and people you meet.
keep.
going.
it will be worth it, I promise.
and please don’t let anyone in this punk-ass fandom pick that apart and turn everything Ishida is trying to say into something that suits their own jaded edgelord outlook on life.
Thank you all so much for the recent feedback on my latest drawings and paintings! I really appreciate everyone bearing with me as I dabble in new techniques and styles, and the overall positivity has got me feeling really good ^^

They actually included this despite it not being part of Root A and I gotta say I’m relieved. I was afraid they were going to ruin Tsukiyama and this arc by cutting all his development related to the manga out and making him as shallow as he was in the anime.
But isn't it kinda bad that Kaneki's reason for living is one person? Shouldn't he learn to live for himself?
I think he is learning to live for himself, and the things that he wants. And what Kaneki has ALWAYS wanted was exactly what he has finally gotten. He’s been a child without love, without a family, and without a home.
Now, he has found someone to share and build a life with. Sure things could be better, but Kaneki is finally realizing the things he wants. He has always struggled to recognize how others value and love him, and now he is seeing that he is loved and he is WORTHY of that love.
He is opening himself up to the idea of building something more. He sees a future that he wants, and is willing to state that he wants it. Him openly declaring HEY WE GOT MARRIED is such a step for Kaneki, the person that has always struggled to share his happiness or his sorrow with others.
Because it isn’t simply about living for Touka. It’s about them living for EACH OTHER and their child, and the life they want to share. About them both accepting that they want these things, and that they are worthy and deserving of them. Touka and Kaneki have both struggled to accept that they are allowed to be happy.
And honestly, as an Actual Adult™ and unofficial Auntie to many small child-things:
I think criticizing or being surprised by Touka’s decision is kind of….strange?
Like, most of my Friends with Kids are my childhood friends. We’ve known each other since middle school, which was long ago (bitter laugh). And I know that as their friend, they love me but will ALWAYS choose their husbands and children first. And that doesn’t upset or bother me, and it doesn’t make me feel any less valued or loved.
That is generally how people are, once you bring those things on to the table. Being a parent is a Big Deal, and people will generally prioritize that over everything else. Even when pregnant, if they want it and intend to have that family, that comes before anything else.
So it's ok to get mad that hidekane isn't canon? So I guess it's ok then that people tweet ishida about it since you guys have no right to tell people how to react
Please stop being so melodramatic and childish, Anon. You aren’t helping your case, when you behave that way.
I have already said more than once there is a definite line between Acceptable and Unacceptable. The line lies in whether you are doing things that hurt OTHER PEOPLE.
The following are Acceptable:
The following are Unacceptable:
Guess which of these categories you are in right now?
am i the only one who thought that kaneki didn't actually want to sleep with her? :O
Hey now. So there’s a moment right before Tsukiyama barges in where Touka’s words sink into Kaneki, and he turns to look at her.
It dawns on him that Touka is not only mutually attracted to him, but cares about him the same way he cares about her.
That’s the meaningful part.
Remember back when both Arima and Kaneki finally realized that they cared about each other, but it was already too late? The two of them were so caught up in their own issues, with depression and single-minded goals, that there was no room at all for the concept of being loved by someone else.
Kaneki has been in that frame of mind despite Arima’s death. He’s been so focused on protecting everyone, that once again he fails to realize that people care about him, too.
But now Touka is handing him a space in her heart made specifically for him to fill, in a way that he can actually comprehend.
What’s more, she’s still alive, and with her whole future ahead of her.
This chapter is about the possibility of allowing someone he loves to be by his side– not behind or ahead of him– for the first time since losing Hide. Asking Touka to come with him at last is the most undeniably terrifying, but beautiful thing for him, which goes leagues beyond stupid ass ship wars and “Do They Wanna Fuck?”
HINAMI IS WEARING HER CLOVER HAIR PIN AGAIN
A couple of thoughts concerning the current chapter, and Furuta’s seemingly easy defeat of Eto. There are several factors that probably played against her in this battle, much of which likely involved her own over-confidence.
Prisoners are drugged with RC suppressants as part of the Cochlea’s improved security. So most likely, she would have been no exception to this standard procedure for prisoners.
We also don’t know how long it had been since her last significant meal. That Editor Pate she was served likely didn’t count for much, though she claims it gave her a boost.
She’s also an Ukaku, which has an inherent weakness of burning through RC cells quickly. Imagine how much would be needed to generate such an enormous armored form. Her overconfidence meant she probably never considered the need to ration her supply of RC cells, the way most Ukaku do. She usually doesn’t need to, and counts on the overwhelming force of her armor. So when she was caught off-guard, and her armor destroyed……how much reserves did she even have left?
Beyond that, we know Rize’s kagune is special. V wanted her back, Dr. Kanou wanted her for his experiments, Furuta wanted it for himself, and Aogiri was hunting her and took Kaneki because of it. Which means that Eto wanted it for some reason, and showed no surprise or anger over her loss. She merely confirmed her suspicion that Furuta had Rize’s kagune, and proceeded to prod for more information.
Does that mean that Eto already knew, long before now, that Rize’s kagune was a potential threat?
Either way, she clearly had no idea that Furuta was anything but human. She went into things simply considering him another Investigator, and got completely blind-sided because…..well….Kanou lied about how many successful experiments he had. He managed to keep that particular aspect of his partnership with Furuta from Eto, in spite of her being aware of the two working together.
But either way, it seems like factors were piled up against her and she went into things counting on brute force over fighting smart.
Even so, it seems like neither party is done. Furuta has his own plans, and Eto knows several new details to work with. She knows that he’s another Eater-type OEG, knows that Kanou lied and concealed that particular detail from Aogiri, and knows that Furuta has no loyalties to V. She also knows that in spite of his strength……he still fears being exterminated by his superiors.
