Part 45- bees are basically a bug right? Idk I don’t do entomology

Chapter 1 of my new wataei fic is out!

Chapter summary: Keito doesn't care about whatever Hibiki is doing in joining Eichi's unit. Or, that's what he tells himself, until Hibiki's actions have him questioning what he thought he knew of his motives. Keito's loathe to admit it, but Hibiki might just be the only person who can match Eichi's... insanity.

Overarching summary:

Whatever is going on between Wataru and Eichi is a well-known secret in Ensemble Square, and was just as widely known back in Yumenosaki. No matter how successfully they manage to excuse their dynamic to the fans, everyone within ES is well aware that the 'no dating' rule for idols has never applied to Wataru Hibiki and Eichi Tenshouin. Well- almost everyone.

{One by one, an array of characters find themselves figuring out the nature of the relationship between Wataru and Eichi.}

I told myself if I finished the full first 3 chapters and at least part of the next 3, I could start posting the multichapter wataei fic I’m working on. Well, I just finished chapter 3 and wrote a good chunk of chapter 6 soooooo NEW FIC IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO???? PERHAPS????? Watch this space and also be prepared for so much Yuzuru bc I just kept shoving him in everywhere whoops xoxo

Rough summary: one by one, the people around Wataru and/or Eichi figure out that there’s something going on between them- something that is impossible to prevent or escape. Somehow, no one bothered to inform Wataru and Eichi about this, so whilst the entirety of ES believes they’re in a relationship, wataei are still pining over each other whilst engaging in definitely platonic shenanigans

I wonder if ppl who’ve read my wataei fics and know nothing about me assume I’m someone who only cares about fine for Wataru and Eichi…. When the actual reason is that every time I try and write Yuzuru or Tori in I get sidetracked by pushing my watatori besties agenda or having both Eichi and Wataru flirt with Yuzuru and then somehow turning the plot into a Yuzuru lore deep dive….

I keep the others out my wataei bc I cannot focus on the wataei if those two silly beloved creatures of mine are also there 😭

Part 44- the Tatsumi-Rinne beef is so funny to me

[chameleonwritess]

Ooough. Need to write a line somewhere with Yuzuru telling Ibara he never realised quite how truthful he was being when he said he was jealous of Yuzuru as a kid. Because he fought for his freedom and chose to use it serving a master of his own creating, just like the ‘instructor’ he so despised, admired, loathed, envied. HMMMM

Rewatched the last episode of Element and I’m going insane about the specific progression from Wataru’s defeat to Wataru falling in love with Eichi. How it started as just another role born from intrigue and fascination, as well as surprise that someone who had so easily misunderstood his ally’s simple feelings, releasing a bluebird who hadn’t wanted to go, had understood Wataru in a way so few people had ever tried to or managed to before. And how that spelt an inevitable love story that probably could’ve been noticed by anyone more familiar with the intricacies of interpersonal relationships than Wataru- so used to isolation and loneliness- had the chance of foreseeing. I would give anything to read Wataru’s thoughts the moment he realised his role by Eichi’s side stretched further than a performance; the moment he realised this devotion and adoration was no act, but genuine love.

Part 43- that was the plot of Checkmate, right? Also anyone else get sad when they remember Arashi doesn’t like being tall? Bc I do :((

[chameleonwritess]

Okay, the babysitter polls have spurred enough thoughts in me that I need to yap about Wataru. Do I think he would be the world’s best babysitter? No, absolutely not. He’s still unhinged and a freak and would likely forget about the very normal aspects of childcare quite easily (i.e. he would be so busy entertaining them he’d straight up forget to feed them unless one of them reminded him food existed) (also see the time he handed in an essay that just read ”AMAZING⭐️”. He is not helping with homework.)

(Rest of my yapping under the cut bc I got wordy…. Again….)

But…. I do not think he’d be the worst. There’s literally a chapter of Dance Floor where a bunch of kids come to the park and Wataru uses it as an opportunity to try and teach the rest of fine how to entertain kids, and they’re ridiculously impressed with the amount of energy and stamina he’s got whilst endlessly entertaining the children. He captures their attention really well in Toyland, too. Approaching this as someone who spent the last 2 years working at an after school club, I found that the easiest way to get the kids to listen and do what you told them to when you needed them to do something was… to entertain them, match their freak, join their games, and get their attention. Sure, I was working with kids a bit younger than the 4Piece kids, but from my experience with slightly older kids, the theory still works. So with Wataru being canonically good at grabbing children’s attention & sufficiently entertaining them PLUS his willingness to do so (because with a lot of characters, I feel like they’d be bad babysitters because they wouldn’t want to do it. Wataru… is an entertainer, and he loves to surprise people and have them be impressed. Children are a prime target for being impressed and surprised by his new tricks. He has a homescreen voice line about trying his tricks on ppl from different agencies bc everyone else seems to be getting a used to them . The new kids are a perfect target for him to entertain! I think he’d be glad for the opportunity), I think he’s got this.

Now, with the topic of the juniors Wataru doesn’t take care of so well…. I think people often forget that the very prominent examples of how he treats Tomoya and Tori aren’t a blanket example of how he treats his juniors. He’s lovely with Sora and even takes him on as an apprentice despite expressing unwilling to teach him at first, and he was anxious about being looked up to at the start of Puffy Bunny, but he still entertained all his juniors and tried his best with them, even opening up to Hinata!! (and despite the others believing he was pushing them too hard, that wasn’t Wataru’s doing!! He WAS paying attention to their limits, and he felt bad when he thought he had been pushing everyone too hard, not knowing it was those guys putting in extra hours to create stuff for the performance). He’s harsh with Tori’s training because a) when he first met Tori he did NOT care about fine and was essentially just making sure to ruthlessly train him to an ability where his and Eichi’s plans could be carried out, and b) he knew that pushing Tori was going to pay off and release his potential (which it did!! Tori has said that Wataru’s training is effective, if brutal). And with Tomoya, we have stories such as Reloaded where… Wataru’s still a bit of a menace with him (let a guy have some fun- Tomoya is just…. So bulliable, look at him!!!) but he wanted to help Tomoya learn and find asking for help easier. A lot of the time his cruel treatment is to make Tomoya grow, and making him furious at Wataru is a good method, in a weird and warped way (okay it sounds like I’m condoning what Wataru’s done to him which, like, I’M NOT……. BUT IT DID WORK 👀). Remember how Tomoya used to hide in the cupboard of the theatre room until Hokuto was there to save him, and he was just so terrified of what Wataru would do to him that he wouldn’t leave? But now look at him!!!!!! Jumping from planes screaming that he hates Wataru and Eichi!!!! Idk man I kinda feel like Wataru played a large role in that growth hmm (okay I’m getting biased now ugh sorry)

Anyway, all this is to say that I don’t think Wataru would be the WORST babysitter, and I will stand by this firmly. He’s not the best- certainly not out of Puffy Bunny because Mika is right there- but I feel like the worst title could go to any of the others over Wataru. Shinobu is shy and would teach them probably dangerous ninja moves and also is likely to freak out if he can’t get them under control. Hinata…. Would possibly have a lot of fun with it! And COULD be a responsible babysitter!! But he also could very much decide it would be funny to take them out busking and start making them do tricks on the street for money! And Hiiro would take the phrase babysitting literally. And sit on them. Okay probably not and he MIGHT be okay at it buuuuuut I feel like he’s more likely to be confused about stuff and then the kids will gaslight him and Hiiro will leave more traumatised than the children. Love the lil guy but I don’t rate his responsibility when it comes to childcare…

This is way too late to change the poll outcome and I don’t really intend to achieve that. I just enjoy yapping about Wataru and Enstars in general. I’m also possibly wrong about some stuff in here- as much as I read as many stories as possible, I may be misremembering things and I haven’t read everything, so I do apologise if I’ve confidently lied in here. But yeah, if Wataru is cast in the role of ‘babysitter’, that’s a performance he’ll master with competency
