what are your top favorite documentaries, if you have any 

Stop Making Sense, Nathan For You: Finding Frances, Paris is Burning, Minding the Gap, Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, You Cannot Kill David Arquette, Horror Noire, Close-up (kind of a documentary, kind of not.  It is my favorite of all the movies I listed though).  A good variety of favorites.

AUTHOR GOES ON A MENTALLY DERRANGED RAMBLE BELOW??

IMG_0377.png

I think Seimei is overly emotional all the time because he’s tapped into his aura and magic ability so much. Being really naturally gifted as the most powerful diviner in the country (and used by the Bafuku for omens and foretelling) it’s also his achilles heel. Instead of explaining his feelings verbally, he rather explode. Such as not telling Douman how he felt about him when they were kids, and later on Douman being in a relationship with his sister.  Instead Seimei begrudgingly bottled it up and/or became furious, sorrowful and heartbroken. Like even in gintama canon he mentions he can do all the spells in the world but he can’t repair a friendship with an ex-friend. 

Whereas Douman knows and accepts he’s not the strongest diviner especially compared to Seimei (he admits this in canon too later on), and doesn’t deny it. Magic is still an important part of his heritage as an onmyoji but unlike Seimei who absolutely lives for it and loves studying it all day at home, Douman seems more interested in pursuits of an artistically and theaterical nature.

They’re both crafting artists in their own rights and complement each other with their differences yet similarities. 

End of mentally unstable rant.

Very well put.  It makes sense for both characters to act the way they do through pursuits of greatness in one way or another.  It makes them feel more living and breathing to be emotional or detatched.  It's what makes them a very great couple, cause like you said they compliment each other well.

also should  be noted that douman regularly gets cabin fever, while seimei gets home sick.
 

Douman had to convince seimei to join the kamakko so he’d go out for socialization. now seimei likes his performing and douman likes directing.

so like tobbie said, very much like fire and ice

I love that idea, kind of an extrovert/introvert pairing but for sure way more layered than that

douman’s domestic life voice in my head is the dad from the brak show and it won’t get out, much like seimei’s fat gay lisp

I keep using multiple pronouns for seimei so I’m just gonna headcanon them like enshou, multiple pronouns & ambiguous gender identity

Douman for sure sounds like that 90% of the day.  Sounds good to me.  More genderfluid characters is always a plus.

while im geeking out again, i love the constant examples of “you don’t have to follow the path of what your born as” with dragonia, sunny, hata instead of just royals. heck, even douman decided for a career of theatre instead of a magical one like his family.

and nobu is the truck driver/gay jailbird i guess

I love a bird leaving the nest story.  Nobu being a gay truck driver is probably my favorite, drastic change in family/profession

how do u think seimei and douman would be on family vacation, i feel like seimei is the really nature type, maybe even has a greenhouse at home to get in touch with auras and that stuff, but douman’s more a hussle and bussle concrete jungle kind of guy

still would be fun to imagine

They'd probably alternate between both.  One night in the woods, the other in a fancy apartment

sougo being too afraid to hug hata for more than 10 seconds but sleeps with kamiyama the moment they’re both shitfaced will never not be funny to me
