[ID: screenshots from the “yona of the dawn” anime with a text post by tumblr user divorce-enjoyer split up and added onto them. the first image shows gija smiling fondly and blushing slightly as he’s talking to jaeha; the text post reads: “well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object”. the second image shows jaeha looking away, blushing; the continuation of the text post reads: “maybe the reason one refuses to stop and the other refuses to move is because they both long for the collision. end ID.]

many ways to apply unstoppable force and immovable object to gijaeha, all of them gay <3

happy gijaeha gtuesday! what’s an underrated moment you love? 🎤

THANK U FOR INDULGING ME LIKE THIS <3 i couldn’t possibly pick one single moment so i’ll just keep going until i can’t add any more images

i’m gonna stick to truly underrated moments btw, so no hot springs bonus chapter, no “if you feel the way i do, that means i can trust you to have my back in battle”, no love potion shenanigans, no “he’s stronger than i am” and adjacent moments, no “it’s refreshing to hear you discuss important things”, no cool battle couple moments, no “if you keep being so reckless, you’ll get yourself killed”, no “you can still live” (and definitely not those last two in relation to each other…... that’s already its own post actually). on that note, i’m also not gonna be including anything i’ve already posted about even if it’d technically count otherwise. was this an excuse to mention all of those moments anyway? perhaps! but u asked for underrated and underrated i shall deliver. ready? let’s go! <3

[transcription note: all the upcoming images are panels from “yona of the dawn”. end note.]

the first moment that comes to mind is this one from ch 135. like gija doesn’t tend to think things through often (he’s far from stupid; he’s just not a Thinker), but this—finding a way to use mizari’s interest in their powers to their advantage, in this case specifically to help jaeha—is just so endlessly interesting to me

[ID: part of a page consisting of multiple panels. mizari is clapping excitedly, saying, “that was incredible! how wonderful! how do you enlarge it? if i trained hard, could i do it too?”; jaeha is breathing heavily, visibly exhausted, and gija watches him before saying, “could you…bring us some meat dishes?”; mizari looks confused as he asks, “meat dishes?”; gija says, “jaeha’s gotten awfully anemic.”; yun adds, “some liver from a cow or a bird would be best.”. end ID.]

i also love it when he’s not using any of those braincells that he clearly has though <3 like this moment in ch 155. it’s also really sweet how he just continues chilling beside jaeha throughout the rest of the scene despite doing an absolutely abysmal job of hiding his hand

[ID: a panel showing jaeha and gija in a hot spring; jaeha says, “another guest, hmm? we won’t be able to leave for a while.”; gija moves to stand in front of him, holding out his arms, and says, “you can hide behind me, then!”; jaeha responds, “you shouldn’t have your hand out where anyone can see it, either.”. end ID.]

married couple behavior from ch 129. leaving out the previous panel so that i can include more moments but this happens after jaeha calls them the beautiful monsters of kohka

[ID: a panel showing gija as he turns towards jaeha to correct him, saying, “the four dragon warriors.”; jaeha responds, “fine, fine. what he said.”. end ID.]

speaking of which, i love it so much when they have basically the same reaction to things (the examples below are from ch 172 but there’s more i’m not including). this becomes more prevalent later on which is just such a cute detail like yessss impact each other’s lives all the way down to picking up each other’s mannerisms <3

[ID: the first panel shows jaeha and gija leaning over the edge of a cart with similar expressions of surprise; jaeha asks, “algira? voldo?!” and gija asks, “why are you here?”; algira shushes them. in the second panel, zeno says, “the fellow sure is popular. when did that happen?”; gija and jaeha are standing beside him, both staring wide-eyed. end ID.]

this bit from ch 203 is soooo unbelievably funny to me. “i can’t take u guys” he says, holding onto gija……

[ID: a panel showing yona and the four dragons. she says, “but…i’ve only just been permitted to see you all here.”; jaeha says, “we’ll go through the window. even if we’re caught, i doubt they’ll try to harm us.”; gija says, “great! let’s go.” as he climbs onto jaeha’s back, wrapping his arms around his shoulders; sinha is clinging onto gija’s shoulder while zeno is doing the same to jaeha; jaeha says, “hey, i can’t take you guys.”; his hands are hooked beneath gija’s legs, holding him up. end ID.]

“woohoo! you’re so cool, gija!” from ch 159. they’re never EVER beating those allegations

[ID: a panel showing gija stepping forward, saying, “everyone, step aside. i’ll handle this.”; behind him, jaeha cheers, “woohoo! you’re so cool, gija!”; they’re both shirtless. end ID.]

love it when jaeha’s like “don’t ruin your pretty face” whenever gija’s acting feral. the example below is from ch 35 but there’s also a similar moment in ch 86.

[ID: a panel showing jaeha saying, “good grief. gija’s going to ruin his pretty face.”. end ID.]

who would i be if i didn’t include a panel where they’re badly injured and covered in blood? :) i’m just obsessed with the exasperated fondness here (also with gija’s chronic fatigue and other assorted issues codedness) (ch 143)

[ID: a panel showing gija slumped against jaeha, the psychomimes indicating that he’s woozy; jaeha smiles slightly as he says, “good grief. you’re nowhere near recovered.”. end ID.]

there are many candidates vying for the final spot but i gotta give it to this panel from ch 225. there are many implications one can glean from this if one is a yaoi scholar like myself but also just look at them. LOOK!!! THEM <3

[ID: a panel showing gija and jaeha asleep next to each other; gija is sleeping soundly and reaching towards jaeha with his dragon hand, poking the side of his face; jaeha is frowning. end ID.]

[neixins]

[ID: fanart of gija and jaeha from “yona of the dawn”. they’re drawn inside a cream-colored square with a blue border, which is placed on a yellow background, with the speech bubbles placed outside the square. at the top of the image are the words “i love you”; jaeha’s hands are placed on gija’s shoulders as he’s speaking, implying that he’s saying the words. gija is staring at him in bemusement, and his dragon hand is curled into a fist; there are flowers doodled around his head, and sparkles around his fist. he says, “…what did you consume this time? do you need a punch in the stomach??”. an arrow pointing to the speech bubble reads “genuinely concerned”. jaeha responds, “no. omg why”. the second image is a chibi-style drawing of gija blushing and holding a hand to his chest; there’s a thought bubble containing a question mark next to his head. end ID.]

never let me near my ships i’m sorry 

bonus kija doing the “what is this feeling in my chest” bc i felt bad

[neixins]

[ID: a cropped panel from chapter 41 of “yona of the dawn” depicting jaeha and gija. the speech bubbles have been cropped out but the dialogue outside them is still visible. jaeha is smiling with his eyes closed, asking, “get it now?”; gija frustratedly responds, “that should be a curse potion!”. there are two small hearts, made using a simple dotted screentone, in the space between them. end ID.]

the lil hearts…….. please

[neixins]

[ID: two pieces of official "yona of the dawn" art. the image on the left features gija dressed in a simple dark blue robe; he's holding a fluffy brown-and-white cat in one arm, and his dragon hand is raised as if he's about to pet it. he's smiling softly and glancing to the right. the image on the right features jaeha taking off his robe; his hair is wet, with several strands coming partially loose from his low ponytail, and there's water dripping down his bare torso; he's looking to the left. the backgrounds of both images feature large windows with red square decorative paneling, though the details of the panels are slightly different. end ID.]

if i told u that these two images are placed exactly like this in the artbook would u believe me

[neixins]

[ID: four images from the “yona of the dawn” manga, edited onto off-white backgrounds, featuring different instances of jaeha carrying gija on his back. in the first, he’s hoisting gija onto his back as gija exclaims in surprise; gija is wearing jaeha’s robe while jaeha is shirtless. in the second, jaeha is standing with gija on his back and they’re both facing forward, looking vexed. the third image is a chibi-style drawing of jaeha soaring through the air with gija on his back; gija has a bundle of clothes on his back, and he’s blushing slightly. in the fourth image, jaeha is carrying an unconscious gija on his back. end ID.]

[neixins]

[ID: panel from “yona of the dawn” depicting jaeha placing a hand on gija’s cheek as he leans in close, as if he’s about to kiss him. a text message has been added above jaeha’s head; it says, “hey halfway through this gram of coke I realized you’re beautiful and im deeply in love w you”. end ID.]

[neixins]

i know gijaeha is unlikely to be Confirmed Canon and that’s fine bc i enjoy subtext and they’re already canon to me anyway BUT i think the funniest possible way to go about it would be to just drop the fact that they’re a couple, followed by a supercut of never before seen gay moments playing out in the background of various hakyona scenes

[neixins]

[ID: panels from chapter 29 of “yona of the dawn” showing gija looking up at jaeha and speaking excitedly, blushing, while jaeha casts him a sideways glance. the original dialogue has been edited to say “let’s take ibuprofen together”. end ID.]

happy yaoi day this came to me in a migraine-induced haze

[neixins]

[ID: fanart of gija and jaeha from “yona of the dawn”. they’re both wearing simple loose-fitting robes. gija’s back is exposed, revealing his scars, and his face is turned towards jaeha, whose head is tilted slightly downwards towards him, his eyes closed. his hand is resting on gija’s back. white daffodils are drawn across gija’s back and on jaeha’s chest, peeking out from beneath his robe. there are several flower petals flying in the air around them. end ID.]

Commission by the fantastic soltreis, because I’m still not over the OAD.

[ID: a panel from chapter 134 of “yona of the dawn” showing gija and jaeha leaning against a prison cell wall, badly bruised and bleeding. a text post by ashy-ashy-ashy has been edited onto the image; it reads “my hot and gay body hurts”; the words “hot and gay�� are written in all caps. end ID.]

[neixins]

[ID: official “yona of the dawn” art, cropped to focus on jaeha and gija. they’re sitting shoulder to shoulder inside a whale fall, and a shoal of yellow and blue fish is swimming around them. gija’s right hand and jaeha’s left aren’t visible but there’s very little space between them, leading to the conclusion that they’re holding hands. text written in all-caps white impact font has been added to the top and bottom of the image; it reads: “what if we held hands in the whale fall”. end ID.]

date night in the whale fall!! <3

[neixins]

[ID: two images announcing different “yona of the dawn” merch lines, cropped to focus on gija and jaeha. both images are arranged so it looks like they’re looking at each other. the first image is for the “reading ver.” merch, featuring the main cast in traditional clothing, with either books or scrolls in hand; jaeha has a book in one hand and is holding his other hand up to his chin, and he’s looking off to the side at gija, who’s reading a book that he’s holding in his dragon hand. the second image is for the eeo lottery themed around traveling, featuring the main cast in their usual clothes; gija is holding a hand up to shield his eyes from the sun and is turned towards jaeha, who’s tying his hair back in a ponytail and looking back at him; they’re both smiling. end ID.]

whoever arranged these images….thank u for your service yaoi comrade
