#IdaAoki

[gabrielokun]

[kie-kois]

i usually hate conflicts having to do w being out abt ur identity or a queer relationship that u’re in but the way it happened b/w ida and aoki just made so much sense for them so much so that i’m able to turn a blind eye to it and even enjoy it

ida has never paid any mind to romance in general his whole life let alone feeling romantic attraction to anyone LET ALONE another guy, so it’s a given that he wouldn’t rlly know/understand that it’s “normal” for a man and woman to be tgt instead of two ppl of the same gender. that’s why it’s also a given that he didn’t understand why aoki was so insistent on hiding the fact that they were dating and why he doesn’t deal w the same internalized homophobia that aoki fought thruout the series. he even outwardly says that them dating isn’t smth they have to hide

he believes that aoki’s ashamed to date him specifically instead of aoki being internally ashamed of dating a guy in general bc ida hasn’t fully internalized that society doesn’t consider it normal. top that off w his innate inability to lie and u get why he came out to the rest of his vb team abt him and aoki effectively also outing aoki

aoki on the other hand has not only exclusively liked girls b4 ida (making him have the presumption that het ppl r the norm even while in love w ida), but he also experienced direct homophobia while being w ida, so it makes sense that he didn’t want to experience that again nor did he want ida to experience it. do i still think ida was a bit wrong for outing both him and aoki. yes but aoki also never properly expressed his fear and why he didn’t want ppl knowing abt him and ida, and ida is someone who genuinely would not have known why bc of his past experiences (or lack thereof in this case) so i think they were both at fault for it. but it’s ok bc they figured it out in the end. by talking to e/o. love

Ida: Are you actually relaxing or are you just dissociating?

Aoki: *Didn’t hear because he’s dissociating*

im def excited for idaaoki and ossans love thai bl remake, mostly cuz these are pairings i already know (both the actors and actual show) lol

And this is why this is more than just a story about romantic love. It’s also about platonic love and how it is just as important.

Aoki was starving for support, desperate for validation of his feelings. Hashimoto was the first one to share her support for him, even after he called himself weird again and literally put himself inside of a trash can.

But Akkun could tell that something was off with his friend and because he cared so much, driven by how important Aoki is to him and how much he values their friendship, he had to get to the bottom of it. Even with all the detective shenanigans, Akkun found out what was wrong, how he had played a role in it and immediately approached Aoki not only to apologize to his friend but to share his sincere support and remind him that, no matter who he likes, Aoki is still the same Aoki.

And that’s exactly what Aoki needed to hear - from a friend who loves him and supports him - separate from who he has romantic feelings for.

Because without the platonic love from both Hashimoto and Akkun, Aoki wouldn’t feel confident enough to try again with Ida for a chance at something other than friendship.

thanks for the tag @i-got-the-feels ✨🌹

Last song I heard -

Ranjish Hi Sahi, Ali Sethi; goosebumps everytime i hear it

Last TV Show I watched -

Kieta Hatsukoi; it's such a good show???? i mean it's more of a coming of age story than BL and it deals with stuff most teens relate with the identity, crisis™, crushes, misscommunication, discovering sexuality, navigating relationships, homophobia, friendships, insecurities and in such a wholesome, light hearted way that it doesn't feel like a lecture?

gosh i was smiling throughout!!!! every character is so complete and lovable.

ida really is best boy, he tries his best, is always respectful, and though there's misscommunication between ida and aoki, they work upon it together

aoki is really me. just that "im trash" sits in a garbage plastic, same. wholesome, sweetest boy

hashimoto ny beloved. absolute love of my life. i would d for her without a second thought!

it's easily one of favourite shows now!!!!!

Currently Watching -

Star In My Mind; I'm weirdly invested in the show like why is kluen the way he is, distant and dollish yet for

Last song I heard - Ping Pong by HyunA and Dawn

Last TV Show I watched - Killing Eve

Currently Watching - kinnporsche, Cutie Pie, superstore, community, our flag means death, our blues, my liberation notes, tomorrow, Military Prosecutor Doberman, again my life, Crazy Love, moon Knight (something Gei said about self-restraint, hard relate)

getting to know your BL mutuals

tagged by @ohmnanons thank you so much darling!!

simple, answer some questions. @ some people. include the tag 'g2ky BL mutuals 2022' on your post so we can find everyone's answer.

what have been the BLs that took you by surprise this year?

probably ghost host ghost house and my only 12%. ghgh was really not on my radar up until right before it aired but i wanted to check it out for tod and ended up loving it & everything it had to say about grief, loss and moving on

for my only 12%... i’m typically not much into high school bls these days bc they just don’t resonate with me but oh my GOD it was so poignant and well done it’s one of my faves of the year

what has been the BL that you felt a bit disappointed with this year?

love at 9/oh my sunshine. ugh i was so excited for ohmfluke to finally have another full length series together and it was just a complete disappointment. peterpan and noh as phayu and rain were the only good thing to come out of that show

what has been you favorite BL this year?

my top 5 (in no particular order) for this year stands at:

you’re my sky, vice versa, blueming, my only 12% and to my star 2

honorable mentions to: ghgh, dear doctor i’m coming for soul and my secret love

favorite BL couples (not just of 2022)?

not sure if this means within shows or irl? 

but my fave fictional couples would be: deanpharm, idaaoki, patpran, sibgene, seojoonjiwoo

my fave irl bl pairings are: maxtul, kaoup and ohmfluke. jimmysea have also absolutely come for my life this year

what's your non-BL favorite this year?

Ohhh there’s lots to choose from but If You Wish Upon Me, Twenty Five Twenty One, Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Falling Into You are definitely at the top

i’ll tag @kaonoppakao @ardentlytess @pharawee @mrdumpling and @thanawins​ but no pressure of course!

My thesis and unfinished ao3 Harry Potter Fanfictions are giving me a stink eye while i look for more light on me, idaaoki and Faraway wanderers fanfictions to read.

Aoki: Sir, it has been reported lately that you do, in fact, have tiny paw-paws and a little button nose. Do you care to comment?

Mametaru: Woof

Aoki: Riveting

Ida, walking up to them: Am I interrupting something?

I don't watch My Beautiful Man so Idk if this is true on there as well, but IdaAoki's associated colors (Blue for Ida and Yellow for Aoki) also match with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's colors too 😁

So on one side of japanese bl right now we have a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff being absolute adorable disasters, madly in love, not afraid to talk about their feelings, cute, adorable sweethearts

And on the other side we have a Gryffindor and a Slytherin, also being disasters, but for the complete opposite reasons, still madly in love tho but horrible at expressing their feelings
