I have so many thoughts about saiteru but they like all cancel each other out

does saiteru is canon? the answer is more complicated than you think!

…in all seriousness id love to see a really long thought out essay on the topic of Teruhashi & Saiki’s relationship and how it changes over the course of the series. And whether or not the romantic coding was intentional, or if it was an extension of the romance trope gag. Also, how they are supposed to foil each other, but also how many similarities they share in circumstance and how goshdarn differently they tend to handle said circumstances (of always being the object of attention regardless of whether or not they want it) and how similar their internal attitudes are towards interacting with people, and how this this tends to affect their actions towards others.

#id like to pausit Teruhashis an introvert too #she just has realized she can’t afford to be one #and she’s also intrinsically a people pleaser which saiki by contrast is NOT #though he does feel bad if he treats people too harshly #he’s definitely not got the same ‘have to prove myself to everyone all the time’ bug #instead he’s trying to convince everyone else that he is something he is not and he doesn’t believe that he is either #so…#🍿#like!#so much of Saiki and Teruhashis relationship dynamic gets to the heart of what the series is about #gags aside #of how we deal with the things beyond our control #how it affects our personalities #attitudes and everything #that’s what i like about them!#romance i can do with or without #it’s interesting if applied correctly but id like to think of their relationship as something that’s actually about something larger #draft dated Jan 17 2022
