taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Tamaki is our king)

No, it's a cold! Or my heart! Or reading ko-gal magazines!

Ouran chapter 57, bitches. Translation here~~~

Haruhi, you're officially SCREWED. SCREWWWWWWWED. Props to Mei's 1337 ninja gal skillz for letting you know right under Kaoru's nose!

How are you, Haruhi. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO TAMAKI. You're on the way to fake colds scoring over 80 in love tests non-asexuality. You have no time to survive make your time. HA HA HA HA.

Don't run away from daddy~~~~ Embrace your feelings and make the fandom go to the dogs, girl! You know you want toooooooooooo~ And it's not like it's the world's biggest secret when, er, all the host club but him knows, you know.

Besides, you'd just die of a fever if you had seem him with the fancy clothes he wears at the training. I know the temperature suddenly rose in here... *fans self*

...

After this stupid, borderline masturbatory, obligatory fangirl comment, I have something with more coherent to say. What I like about Haruhi's crush is the fact it's not about "ooh, pretty!" or anything. If you think about it, Haruhi has seen him (and the entire host club) wearing practically anything. She's seen Tamaki shirtless or smiling in ways that make girls' panties drop themselves since day one. And still, the reaction used to be "...what a retard" for a while. Of course, there are possibilities he wasn't her type, but if you think about it, in the club has almost all kinds of pretty boys (and girls!) and she never had second thoughts about anyone. My point here is, she's never been the kind of girl who'd come to the realization that "oh, this person is hot" and have a sensuality awakening. No, absolutely not. Even now, in her confused state, she wouldn't think of Tamaki as pretty and not because of her (not so much) denial.

You just know it's about the inside. You just know that if Takami looked average or ugly (...although then the plot would be impossible, because you know... king of host club) or different, Haruhi would've still got to love him the same. Because really, she's never shown explicit hints of finding him attractive in looks whatsoever. She never blinked at him taking his shirt off or making physical contact with her until... until she noticed he had become the person she admires the most. And she got to admire him by knowing him, by understanding why he behaves like that and the wonderful traits he has, by seeing he has more than flaws, and that he's actually one of the sweetest, bravest persons she could ever meet, even if he is childish and a complete dork.

I don't know, it makes me happy. It wasn't a matter of picking the prettiest bishie or the guy who's more compatible with her. Because she probably was indifferent to his good looks, and found him asphyxiating and sometimes irrational and ignoring her personal space. She loves him not because he's cute, not because he's a Suoh, not because he's a romantic. It's because of his heart. That's how Haruhi rolls. And that's why it was so hard for her to like a person even with so many people falling at her feet. I'm not sure how frequently it happens in shoujo, but I think it's ideal for Ouran IMO, if it had to go through romance.

...Funny enough, my favorite character is Tamaki because of his personality. Nevermind I was into blonds IRL on my teen years.

...Well, I spent 50 minutes writing this off O_o

I agree 100% with this post. While I don't think Tamaki is the most COMPATIBLE for Haruhi nor the "hottest guy", I think her love for him transcends all of that. It's absolutely adorable and probably one of the best pairings in shoujo manga for a while.

I think I'm biased because I did ship the pairing since the beginning for the odd couple vibes, but I like how it's evolving ♥

I want to add something. When I meant "hottest guy", it was in a subjective way from the main character's point of view -as in, them choosing the one they find better looking. Because really, pinpointing objectively the prettiest possible love interest in a harem/reverse harem story is impossible. (Funny enough, physically speaking I'd prefer someone like Kyoya, but the character I fell for was Tamaki.)

I think Bisco herself was saying that the most compatible with Haruhi was Mori, right? I wonder now if she was making a point for Tama/Haru transcending differences, or it was just a red herring.

Oh, I know that's what you meant. I was saying that from my own point of view. xD

Yeah, Mori is most compatible with Haruhi, and it's been shown on several occasions in the manga, too. But really, Mori is too preoccupied with Hunny. XD; Not necessarily from a yaoi POV, but just even as friends, Mori is too busy with Hunny to feel anything for Haruhi. xD I don't think it was a red herring--it's the truth. Tamaki and Haruhi just work for reasons that defy logic. 8DDDb

I also asked the Dance Club to do the Turkish belly dance . It's a shame that they had other plans.

Aw, Tamaki.

I would feel pity for Haruhi if I weren't enjoying it so much.

He thinks of all the dorky details. Gotta give him props for that!

I don't feel pity for her, not only because I also find it amusing as hell, bur because I believe this is her karma for making him cry in a corner so often for rejecting his every move on her. Now him being nice makes her want to cry.

...but that approach makes it even funnier XD

MARK YOUR CALENDARS, LADIES AND GENTS.

THIS IS AN EPIC MOMENT.



Oh god I swear I cried a little with the end. I just want to hug Haruhi hard and tell her everything's gonna be ok. Because it is. And I want to smack Kaoru in the face and buy Mei something pretty.

My feelings towards Tamaki are kind of out of the charts. IT'S PAINFUL.

Screw Gurren Lagann. Scoring over 9000 80 in a love test is the definition of EPIC EPICNESS.

My feelings towards Tamaki are kind of out of the charts. IT'S PAINFUL.
Inorite? He was so happy and cute when talking about the training and the employees. So grown-up! He'll be the perfect boss in a future, you see. And two minutes later he's back to his usual shenanigans and putting on a bear costume! So awesome <3<3

MY FLIST IS MADE OF AWESOME Plus, I like your stupid, borderline masturbatory, obligatory fangirl comments |D

AND I CAN'T SAY I'M SURPRISE. THIS WAS INEVITABLE. THIS WAS FATE.

WE WERE TOLD THIS WOULD HAPPEN. AND TAMAKI NEVER LIES. NEVER.

B-but. Still. H-haruhisocute ♥♥

TAMAKI JUST BREAKS MY HEART. IN A GOOD, FLUFFY, SPARKY-SPARKLY WAY.


...


AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, TOO ♥♥

Of course it's not surprising. But since Tamaki is silly most of the time, nobody in the fandom would believe him! Hell, I think HE didn't believe himself and he'll be all WTF AJHSDSHFHGF when he knows what's going on because he stupidly convinced himself he loves her like a daughter ¬_¬.

Happy new year!
