the gayest thing ospreay has ever done was say that he doesn't speak the language like kenny does and at the end of the same post-match going またね、ケニー ([see you] later, kenny) in a low voice like... there is something wrong with him. something so wrong

#it's crazy to exclusively refer to another man by full name and call him your idol and then just. drop all of that. the tonal shift...#especially compared to how kenny calls him will from the start. or at least from the trios tournament and onward #there's a 2021 interview where he calls him ospreay but after that he just jumps to first-name basis...#i doubt this would hold as much significance if the brunt of the feud wasn't happening at and around new japan #you know? language and culture and names. they both linger in the boundary between disrespect and intimacy #ospreay says kenny's name like he wants to both spit in his face (he did) and feel his hands on his body (he did)
