104. You're right, but it's a harmless bit of fanon that seems consistent with the idea that he's more fucked up from the war than first appearances would let on. You can make his character work with or without it.
109. Wow. I watched two episodes and was absolutely hooked. Who knew that different people enjoy different things?
124. I don't think that term means what you think it does, OP. The fact that he is mildly insane, has dependency issues like WOAH, is easily manipulated, and is reviled by the person he holds dear, all pretty much mean that he's about as far from a Stu as you can get.
137. DO IT! You and I think the same way, and that fic would make me very happy. (Not 'happy' happy, but ZOMG-this-is-amazingly-fucked-up happy.) I have actually developed a great deal of my perception of Tsuna's character based on this very fact, and I think it gives his low self-esteem, and his need for affirmation, an even greater level of severity. Essentially, I believe that Tsuna is aware on some level that his mother doesn't really see him, but rather 'Iemitsu's son'. All of her affection for him is derived from the resemblance he bears to his father, not because of his individuality. She doesn't seem to have much interest in his life beyond the most basic of concerns (his grades, keeping him fed etc.), and any deeper issues simply don't register on her radar (it's used for comedic effect, of course, but it's quite disturbing when I take the time to think about it). I believe that his attraction to Kyoko comes from a desire to have his mother love him as the individual that he is; he can't get that validation from his mother, so he's seeking it from Kyoko instead--a person who resembles his mother in both appearance and personality.
Yeah, I'm probably over analyzing; but I think it puts a lot of things in perspective. :)
