#even otome game Fushimi can't convincingly show interest in a girl

[ridiasfangirlings]

I find it hilarious that most of us just live in the expectation where all k characters and figurants are gay. I haven't seen a single ask here involving side characters or simply OCs that had a "straight" shipp, especially with Saruhiko. Is he just a male magnet? What is this, does he have a monster Musk from stardew valley made for men?

Oh come on, there’s straight characters in the K cast, why there’s…um, there’s…well how about…or, um….Mishina, maybe? Yeah I got nothing, Kusanagi/Awashima is probably the closest to a ‘straight’ ship but they both give me bi vibes so it’s still not really straight. And Fushimi I honestly just have trouble seeing him with a woman, like he shows absolutely zero interest in the course of the entire series. He sees Neko naked multiple times (in Countdown and in the spa drama CD) and has basically zero reaction beyond annoyance, and his interactions with the only members of the opposite sex he knows — Awashima and Anna — feel pretty strictly platonic. Meanwhile he’s completely obsessed with Yata and constantly having Munakata in his personal space and various alphabet boys are trying to get his attention, they’ve all seen his tiny waist and realized it’s perfect for other men to grab. Even the otome game, which desperately tries to convince players that Fushimi Saruhiko could possibly love a woman, can’t quite manage to make Fushimi look more excited to see his ‘girlfriend’ than he is when he sees Yata. See below, Fushimi with a woman:

Fushimi when he sees Yata:

Fushimi probably can’t even park straight. (Also from a less tongue in cheek standpoint I do see Fushimi as more demisexual than anything else, like he has to have that connection or he just has no interest at all, and, well, the majority of the cast is made up of beautiful men so he pretty much ends up gay by default.)
