I have the weirdest anime-fan gay friend. He didn't see the chemistry between L and Light (but did see it between L and Misa) and when I talked about weird dynamics so overwhelmingly everything in someone's life that they transcend being either platonic and romantic, he was surprised when I used Geto and Satoru as one of the examples (he did see the chemistry between Gojo and Utahime). I just. Man. How do you watch this stuff?

#Initially I didn't see either one. After a friend (another one) explained why he liked gojohime so much now I get it #It's the normalcy of it + just typical shonen romantic tropes. Not my thing usually but I get it #Worked way better on me when I was thinking about Henry and Fanny a few days ago I guess #But the Misa and L one I truly really don't see it at all lol #Sometimes there's very pretty art #but even with the scenes added in the anime with that one commercial while L is eating I just can't see it #So my gay friend being super adamant about L being straight and having a thing for Misa #and finding weird that I said the chemistry between L and Light is so obvious they're a very popular pair really baffled me #I'm not even into either pairing but like. How do you. Not see the chemistry at the very least? Even more so being gay?#Yet find it super clearly with Misa and L? Misa and L! At least Misa and Light are fun in a super toxic way lol #Misa and L hadn't even crossed my mind until he talked about it #He really surprises me every time #Anyway I hung out with him yesterday just us instead of alongside our mutual friend #He texted me to go take a coffee together and I was so excited I was kinda giddy. Like 'yipeeeee new friend for real!'#Because I do think after +5 years we're beginning to become friends on our own right! I'm pleased. I do like this guy rather much #In fact I think he's doing this because for a series of events one of the last times we went out together with a few other friends #I told him he was nice and cute and interesting and I liked him quite much and liked the little mark-not-quite-dimple he had when he smiled #but that he made it so hard to get closer to once one reached a certain degree of intimacy #That he was fun and easy to get along but always kind of a stranger. Anyway he says he realised I'm right #and that it's made him contact more and reconnect with a few friends he used to ignore for months #and also has been texting me a lot just to talk lately #And I've been ghosting him because I suck #But yesterday he asked to go for a coffee and he's so cute and has so much patience with me I was so happy haha #And he was telling me about some smutty gay romance book he was reading alongside his serious classic books and thus why the conversation #about overwhelming dynamics started. And! How?! Truly! How can he be an anime fan and not see the chemistry in this!?#Next he'll tell me Toya and Yukito were just friends #Oh I'm making him read Cyran.o. Both translated and in French. He whined that he doesn't know French #I included that in the weird dynamics that are everything in ways that transcend categories #Here it was because of the identification between characters and the play on body/soul/one person among other things #I also talked about Jack and Lacie and Cathy and Heathcliff of course. And about Charles and Adam Trask. I truly love this kind of thing
