#VOTE SERIYO & YUZURU

[gillianthecat]

You still have time to watch both movies (just 2 hours and 25 minutes total), fall in love with Seriyo and Yuzuru, and then go vote for them in round 1 of the Best Kiss Bracket.

(why I love their kiss)

Best Kiss Bracket Propaganda

I feel a lot of responsibility about this entry, because I don't think many people have seen this gem of a Japanese BL from 2015. It's hard to find, and I want to say go watch it first before reading about this kiss (it's often on Youtube).

But I must campaign for this kiss anyway! It is all adolescent longing, fear and confusion, a little hesitant, but oh so earnest. The hand hold! Be still be heart. I won't say more, just go find these movies.

unsurprisingly, lost in round 1 But we got them to 17.7% 😊 So thank you everyone who voted for them and I hope at least someone discovered these movies because of it.

hands down…one of my all-time favorite kisses in a BL series/movie

Movie: Seven Days (Friday to Sunday)

Seryou I just found out I've misspelled your name on everything and now it's immortalized in the Best Kiss Bracket like that I'm so sorry.

It looks like sometimes it's transliterated at Seiryo. But never the way I wrote it, Seriyo. 😳

Look. Even if you don't vote for Seriyo and Yuzuru, go find and watch their movies! An absolutely amazing and soft high school set Japanese BL. (ask me and I can try and find links for you)

Round 1: Akk and Ayan Dream Kiss (The Eclipse) vs Seriyo and Yuzuru Bedroom Kiss (Seven Days: Friday - Sunday)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Akk and Ayan Dream Kiss: "This 'first kiss' doesn't even happen in reality, but after five episodes of antagonistic sexual tension, it's such a gently sad fantasy, filled with so much longing: Ayan is at his most vulnerable here, and for a brief moment, in the dark and the quiet and after being told he's 'allowed to be weak', the desperately repressed Akk considers what it would be like to give in and let himself be truly vulnerable, too. The first touch is so small and hesitant, but then Ayan opens his eyes, recognising the choice Akk has made, and pulls him in for the deeper kiss they both want. The cradling hands, the intimate eye contact throughout--the whole thing is so tender and cathartic that it's heartbreaking when Akk shakes himself out of the fantasy and pulls away, shoving his feelings back down under the weight of his fear and the carefully-maintained persona that allows him to bear it. Perfection."

Seriyo and Yuzuru Bedroom Kiss: "I feel a lot of responsibility about this entry, because I don't think many people have seen this gem of a Japanese BL from 2015. It's hard to find, and I want to say go watch it first before reading about this kiss (it's often on Youtube). But I must campaign for this kiss anyway!

It's here! Thirteen (13)! of my submissions are in the tournament, though not all with my campaign statements (yay! other people submitted them too!). So that means I have 20% chance of winning this, right?

(no? that's not how statistics or tournaments work? fine.)
