POLL TAG- FIVE FAVORITE CHARACTERS

tagged by @telomeke, @lurkingshan, @happypotato48

I have not been on tumblr much so my apologies for not getting around to this until now.

Challenge: make a poll with five of your all time favorite characters, and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favorite.

The spiel

Shiro

Shiro is so often serious and when we first meet him he is still really weighed down by his internalized homophobia. But he loves Kenji so much and there are so many of these little moments of joy and lightheartededness in him that so clearly show not only why he and Kenji work well together as a couple but also how desperately in love with Kenji he is. Despite the fact he has never been and likely will never be able to say those words aloud. Watching how much growth he has had especially in Season 2 makes me so emotional even just thinking about it and I love him so much.

Miki

I do not expect Miki to win mostly because I do not think a lot of people have seen Joshi-teki Seikatsu but oh my god I am so in love with her. She is so confident in herself and such a catty, slutty little bitch and she is perfect. I mean, incredibly flawed as a person, which tends to be a requirement for a lot of my favorite characters but she knows who she is, she knows what she wants, and she is really taking the "my-cishet-childhood-best-friend-who-has-two-brain-cells-to-rub-together-moved-in-with-me-and-I-am-trying-every-day-not-to-kill-him" situation in stride.

Qian

Let the fact I have barely written any essays since Unknown finished airing be a testament to both the fact that my life has been exceedingly busy the last few months and the fact that Qian and Unknown have been sticking with me. Another flawed character just trying his best to keep himself and his siblings' heads above water. He's done what he needs to do to survive and he has made a beautiful life for himself that he can finally feel safe, comfortable, and supported in. I love this man.

Myung Ha

I desperately owe this show a re-watch with the knowledge I gained at the end of it. Myung Ha is trying so hard to give Yeo Woon the love and support he deserves and I really love how they wrote all of Myung Ha's interactions with the teenagers in this show because he does act like a thirty year old who is back in high school and dealing with a bunch of kids who are trying to exert power through a form of bullying that most grown adults are not susceptible to. He cares so much for people, he's wonderful.

Koichi

THIS BOY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. HE IS RADIANCE AND SUNLIGHT AND SADNESS AND CARE AND HE LIVED SO FULLY FOR TOO SHORT OF A TIME. I need to rewatch this show as well as I am far overdue for my heart to be ripped out of my chest and stomped on and then lovingly sewed back underneath my ribs.

Noisy Times in the Lab

Author’s Notes: Back with a little fic! I saw these really great scientist-based tickle prompts from @anxious-lee (I’m not sure how to tag people on Tumblr - hopefully this works!) that sparked some inspiration for me. I’ve read the VN recently after procrastinating on it for a long while, so I feel like I could write for the characters easily enough without them sounding OOC. Apologies for any spelling errors as I am very tired. :,) I may even do some clean up in the morning if I find any obvious glaring issues. let me know what you think!!

Word count: ~1,600

It was a typical day at the residence of the Future Gadget Lab. Progress was running smoothly on the microwave-turned time machine and its mechanisms. Experiments were being run, new information was being discovered. Okabe Rintaro and Makise Kurisu had been running tests all night on their machine to determine how far back their D-Mails could go into the past and whether it had any lasting effects.

As one does when pulling an all nighter, fatigue started to set in. Having their friend, Shiina Mayuri, come over in the afternoon with snacks and replenishing refreshments was a god send, but Kurisu in particular hardly had a break. Okabe had a nap on the couch for a couple hours in the day, but Kurisu hadn’t had a wink of sleep. It was starting to get to her, but that was in her nature: to work as hard as she could to sate her growing curiosity to develop this time machine.

Rubbing her tired eyes with her hands, she got up from her seat in front of the time machine, letting out a yawn. She dragged her feet over to see what Mayuri was doing, walking past Okabe who was sitting on the couch, downing a cold Dr P while he was looking at this phone screen, assuming he was on @channel or sending emails.

Mayuri was standing at her makeshift cosplay bench, working on a new outfit for ComiMa. She fed the pink fabric through the sewing machine with expert precision. Kurisu was absorbed in watching her work. On closer observation, it seemed to be a pink mini dress, with off the shoulder sleeves. Adorned on the chest was a big, red, puffy bow. The dress came out of the other end of the sewing machine as Mayuri grabbed it, holding it out in front of her to see if there were any errors in her work.

Kurisu’s eyes moved up and down the length of the dress. “It’s a very nice cosplay, Mayuri. What’s it from, again?” She questioned, shifting her weight to look at Mayuri’s face behind the dress.

“It’s Kirari’s outfit from RaiNet Kakeru! I’ve put a lot of hard work into making this dress accurate to the show,” She beamed, lowering the dress to smile at Kurisu. “I don’t know who’s going to wear it yet, though.”

“What do you mean - didn’t you make it so you could wear it?” Kurisu tilted her head with curiosity.

“No, I never wear my cosplays,” Mayuri set the dress down onto the table. “Besides, my body wouldn’t fit into this. I was hoping Luka might try it, but I don’t think I can convince him. Even though it’d suit him perfectly.” Mayuri pouted.

“Aww, that’s a shame. He’d look super cute in it.”

“Don’t be fooled by the idea, he’s still a dude.” Okabe piped up from the couch, his gaze not leaving his phone.

“But you should totally try it on Chris-chan - I think you could pull it off!” Excitement bubbled in Mayuri’s voice, reaching over to grab Kurisu’s hands. The red head’s gaze whipped over to Mayuri’s face, eyes widening.

“Oh no - I’d never be able to wear something like that. It’s too revealing.” She spoke, shaking her head as she politely declined.

“Sure you could! Your body’s pretty similar to Lukako’s anyway, I think it’d fit you perfectly.” Mayuri emphasised her point by reaching to Kurisu’s sides, giving her a squeeze. Kurisu buckled, choking out a giggle.

“M-Mayuri— where are you grahahabing??” Her words sputtered out as Mayuri grabbed her a little more, now with more intent.

Okabe’s head whipped up to see what all the commotion was. He grinned as he put the pieces together in his mind, standing up from the couch. “Mayuri - have you perhaps discovered the Zombie’s weakness?” They both looked at Kurisu.

“No you haven’t! Don’t even try anything, Okabe!” Kurisu attempted to back away from Okabe, who now was standing up from the couch with renewed interest. Mayuri simply giggled, turning back to her cosplay work. A wicked grin was being cast upon Kurisu’s worried face as laughter erupted from him.

“My foolish Assistant - have you forgotten? I am a mad scientist, and what kind of a mad scientist would I be if I didn’t investigate this little discovery further?” The lab coat-wearing predator gazed down at his target, making her back into a corner of the lab. He stepped closer, making his prey shutter nervously. His hands were outstretched, wiggling his fingers. “What’s wrong, Christina? Cat got your tongue?”

“Y-You’re being stupid, Okabe! This is childish! You just want to put your hands a-all over me, pervert!” Starting to sweat, she tried to say anything she could to dissuade him from what he was very eager to try out.

“If you truely are a super serious Assistant, then surely a little childish tickling wouldn’t affect you, right?” He smirked as he closed in, his wiggling fingers touching down on her sides. The red head immediately burst into giggles, trying to swat his hands away.

“Ahaha— Okabe!! Quit it!” She tried to push him away, but Okabe was a fair bit taller than her, so her attempts were futile. An involuntary smile stretched across her face as she danced about.

“Thank you for making such a grand scientific discovery Mayuri - scientists everywhere shall give you praise for discovering our dear Assistant’s weakness. You will be known in the history books forever. It’ll also knock our dear Christina down a few pegs.” He remarked, letting out a chuckle at Kurisu’s expense.

“Mahahayuri, help me— pleahahase!!” Kurisu cried out, trying to get Mayuri’s attention.

“You need a fun break Chris-chan, and I’ve never seen you smile and laugh like this! You gotta let loose sometimes.” The short hair girl responded with a beaming smile, getting back to her cosplay work.

“I have done well with controlling my hostage, Assistant. She shall not be swayed by your pleas. I won’t be finished with you until I am completely satisfied.” The self-proclaimed mad scientist let out an evil cackle, moving his annoying tickling fingers up to Kurisu’s ribs, drawing more sweet laughter from her. “Now, let’s see. What would happen if I tweak… right, here?” He pondered allowed, his fingers pinching at her lower ribs.

The red head doubled over in laughter, her knees starting to give way, her back sliding down the wall. “Stop being an— stahahap being an idiot!!” Protesting, she squirmed to try to free herself from him. He started to crouch down himself so he could have better access to her.

He was very persistent, moving his hands from her ribs to her sides to keep her guessing. He needed to gather more information for his experiment. “Now, Christina. On a scale of one to ten, how much-“

Okabe was interrupted by a loud round of laughter escaping his assistant’s lips, tears starting to well up in her eyes as she laughed herself silly. He tutted, shaking his head.

“Quit interrupting me with your laughter, I’m asking a question! - how much does this tickle?” He teased as his fingers continued to pinch and scribble, grinning as her cheeks burned red.

She couldn’t think straight to form a response. She just shook her head, her long hair flying in all directions. Okabe figured that if she couldn’t verbally protest anymore, that she was reaching her limit. He pulled his hands away, standing up tall to signify he was done messing with her. Kurisu let herself sink to the floor, sucking in big breaths now that she had the opportunity.

“You’re… you’re SO going to regret that… O-Okabe…” She threatened, glaring up at him. Okabe couldn’t take her seriously after seeing her being reduced to a girly giggly mess, which was way different from her usual cool-headed, mature demeanour.

“You should hold your tongue now that I know your little weakness, Christina. I may exploit this quirk of yours more often if you’re not careful, haha!” He laughed, too caught up in his act to concentrate on Kurisu sneaking away from him towards the coffee table near the couch.

“Now that your weakness is known to the world, I, Hououin Kyouma, brilliant mad scientist, shall use this forbidden information to my advan— HEY!” The mad scientist cried out as his shoulder was slammed with one of Kurisu’s big, heavy science text books. Kurisu was panting and red in the face.

“Do it again… and I’ll hit you even harder…” Her threat was serious, but her voice didn’t sound as scary as it usually would when she would make such claims. Okabe filed this information in the back of his mind, noting that even her swing wasn’t as hard as it has been previously, and his consequence was not as dire as he thought it would be. Maybe she wasn’t all that angry about this.

“Lesson learned. But watch yourself, Zombie.” Even in pain he grinned at her, making her squint her eyes to try to look menacing.

“You should buy me a fresh pudding after all you put me through. Actually, make it two.” She plopped herself down on the green couch, crossing her arms.

“Very well. That’s the least I can do after your sacrifice to science. Mayuri, care to join me?” He asked as his gazed turned to his ‘hostage’. Mayuri smiled and nodded, walking to Okabe.

“Tuturuuu~! Operation: Pudding for Chris-chan!” Mayuri let out her happy little tune as she and Okabe walked out the apartment’s front door, closing it on their way out. Kurisu let out a long sigh as they left, filling her lungs back up with air that they were deprived of a few moments before.

“Okarin, you should be nicer to Chris-chan. She’s helping you so much with all this science-y stuff, it’s the least you can do.” Her gaze moved up to Okabe’s face as she spoke, both of them walking down the stairs.

“She won’t admit it, but I think she enjoyed that little exchange more than she’s letting on.” Chuckling, Okabe and Mayuri went out to pick the most perfect pudding they could find for their dear Kurisu.

Legit question as a bi guy: is there anything out there with more than one guy and they are shown to be in a close relationship? Can be just dudes or a mix of dudes and dudettes but by god there's slim pickings out there.

It's definitely slim unfortunately! There's not a ton of canon poly anime/manga content that has multiple guys in general.

Of the canon series I've read with multiple men, there's We Started a Threesome! where the two male leads are best friends, and Share Kanojo, where I don't think they're best friends (afair) but they're at least friendly. Oh, and Haitoku wa Amaku Mushibamu, in which the two male leads are brothers.

My personal favorite is noncanon (altho I haven't read the manga but I'm pretty sure it's not canon yet?), but Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun has a lovely MMF relationship where the two men are very dedicated to each other.

I also really like Orange. Again, it's not canon, but Kakeru and Suwa definitely care a lot about each other, and even hug at one point which is rarely seen between men in anime lol.

(If you're interested in non-anime/manga...one of my fave movies is Savages, which has a canon throuple and the two male leads are very close. TW for the actual content of the movie though. There's also Bandits and Design for Living with friendly male leads.)

Playlist listened to while writing; https://spotify.link/WzxvdTKBCJb

Holy shit dude, the ceo of rei angst wrote some rei angst what the HELL!! We have to kill her guys she cant keep getting away with this.

Anyways im gonna be writing about a lot of these nerds. I just love rei. This is really rushed and I am really sleepy so it is not my best writing.

Also i cannot write teruya so you will habe to ppppUT UP WITH IT.

Warnings for like. Violence and my attempt at writing a breakdown.

-

Rei held the rusty pipe like a baseball bat, swinging for a homerun as she smacked off the head of someone she once knew. Someone who had abandoned her long ago.

The rotting head of what used to be her mother rolled on the ground, sickly green skin squishing against the ground and stared up at her with lifeless eyes.

“I didn’t want to see you again like this,” Rei hissed as her chest heaved, “i wanted to see you staring with regret as you saw your daughter on top of the world. I didn’t want to kill you or see you dead.”

That had been the second time she had run into her zombified mother. The first, she had been a coward, unable to kill her and her father– the two people she hated most, the two people who had abandoned her and left her on the streets.

Where had all her rage gone that time. When had she become soft.

-

Midori clung to Ryutaro with all the strength in her frail body. “My brother,” she whispered, “i saw my brother’s corpse down there. Kakeru… he… they got Kakeru… they killed Kakeu…”

He didn’t say much in return, but he did pat her hand briefly– the only comforting action he could manage while carrying her.

“I see a store up ahead. Let’s stop by there for supplies.” Keisuke pointed out to the leader of the bunch.

Setsuka patted the clown on the back and gave him a smile. “Sounds good, lead the way. Maki, do you need me to carry Yamaguchi for a bit?”

Midori wrapped her arms and legs around Ryutaro a bit tighter at the suggestion, very much attached to the guy who had found her and saved her from zombies.

“I’ll be fine until we reach the stop.” The blonde nodded his acknowledgement to the bluenette, forcing a smile as he struggled to catch up.

The group walked in silence for a bit, the only sounds being the orchestra of distant zombie groans.

“Miss Yamaguchi,” Hikaru said after bit, his tone fatherly like usual, “may I check your pulse soon? And may I check if the swelling on your ankles has gone down?”

“Yeah, that… sounds good. Thank you, Uncle.”

-

Kanata removed the bandages from Ayame’s arm gradually.

“There isn’t any sign of infection, Hatano. Kinjo and Maki are still out, so… uhm… can I get you something to eat?” The surgeon spoke softly as she stared at the sprinter.

“I’m not hungry…” Ayame mumbled.

“Inori!” Tomori slammed the door open, her eyes sunken from lack of sleep, “i think i got bit. Check! Check, please!!”

Kanata bit back a sigh of exasperation and forced out her cheerful smile. “Of course. Where do you think you were bit this time?”

“My ankle. They went after my ankle so I couldn’t run! They’re going to eat me. I’m going to die, aren’t I? Oh, god, I’m going to die!” The cheerleader’s words were jumbled together and practically nonsensical. She grabbed onto Kanata’s shoulders as she spoke, her nails digging into the other’s lab coat and pressing her skin uncomfortably.

“Miss Tomori,” Kanata winced, “please let go of me. I will check your ankle, but I am sure you are fine.”

“I’m not fine!” Kizuna wailed before glaring accusatory daggers at Ayame. “If you… if you hadn't gotten yourself bitten! If you had just seen that bitch for what she is! We wouldnt be doomed! You’ve doomed us all!”

Ayame took the words without fighting back. What had been the point in fighting anymore? Kizuna was right. She had doomed them all.

“Miss Tomori, please… Taira had us all fooled… if Miss Hatano is to blame, then so are the rest of us…” the blonde murmured. “Please sit down so I can check your ankle…”

-

Mindless. Kinji was mindless. His faith had only been able to spare him for so long.

His teeth were decayed now. His skin was green and purple and yellow. His eyes were dull. His cheeks were sunken.

It was incredible that his mind stayed intact long enough for him to bury as many as he did. The only bodies he didn’t put 6 feet under, the only bodies he couldn’t handle burying, were those of the people he knew.

But what was the point?

-

Yuki held his stomach as he choked up and spat out the last meal he had, beans that had barelt even begun to digest.

“Urgh… gross…” he mumbled to himself.

Shinji was away at the moment, scouting out for the next safe place for them to go and likely trying to find his family in the process.

The lucky student fought back envious tears. At least they knew there was a chance that Shinji’s family was alive– they found his mother, Aiko, brutally murdered in the Maeda household. Her corpse was bloated and rotted when they found it.

The sight still haunted his dreams. He couldn’t even keep.meals down since he saw it.

-

Mikako peered into her brother’s lab. He hadn’t eaten in quite some time, nor had he slept.

“Yamato…” she whispered hesitantly.

He spun around with a dart ready in his hand. He only lowered it after he registered it was her.

“Mikako, I’ve told you to leave me alone. I need to find a cure, or no one will be safe.” The inventor turned back to his work and threw a crumpled up piece of paper to the side.

“I’m sure someone else is searching for a cure, Yamato. Why not try to make a vaccine? Some sort of immunity would help while someone else finds a cure.” The exorcist suggested.

Her brother didn’t seem to have heard. That, or he was ignoring her.

“Ah… nevermind.” She straightened her back and spun on her heel to hunt down their other classmates.

For the newcomers, Satsuki was putting on a performance– juggling empty bottles and broken gadgets whilst telling jokes. That could not be safe, but Haruhiko seemed to have his eyes on her.

The bunker door heaved open, and Teruya’s team came in, carrying boxes full of food and other supplies.

“We’re back with dinner!” The merchant shouted.

Mikako rushed over to take the box from him.

“Thank you, Otori, this should be good for at least a week. You and your scavenger team did good.”

He grinned at her and handed his box over. “Thanks! We uh…” he hesitated, “We saw Taira and Maeda… err… Utsuro? On our flight back… they looked like they were heading somewhere… dunno where…”

She bit her tongue and nodded thankfully at him. “Thank you for telling me.”

-

Thats it. Im hungry good bye.

Aw yeah infection Au moment! I do remember you saying a while back that you wanted to write something about Rei in this Au and MAN her part has gotta be my favorite out of these little snippets.

I really like taking a look at how a bunch of the cast is doing, seeing the way you wrote them in those situations was pretty fun! It reminded me how much i like the idea of Setsuka's like group with the 6.5 cast and how Kanata probably wishes she has a degree in psychology to properly deal with Ayame and Kizuna (she may feel as if she's not doing enough for them seing as her kindness can only bring her so far when dealing with their turmoil)

[waitmyturtles]

To have What Did You Eat Yesterday? and I Cannot Reach You airing in the same year is unfair. And I admit that I’ve been heavily neglecting my beloved Japanese BLs for Thailand this year.

That being said, I don’t know what I did in life to deserve I Cannot Reach You. This show took years and years of JBLs by the shoulders, and turned them around for a hot second; through Hosaka, we got encouragement within a dorama for characters to use their words; and we got two characters simultaneously working on better behavioral change, individually AND together.

The use of the sparkly bokeh effect? Only on Yamato? Then on Kakeru? Then on Mikoto and her pancakes? Then on BOTH of the guys?

The curtain kiss?!

This show was like…I’m in the mood for something different, and it was done exquisitely.

This is a MUST. WATCH. SHOW.

I’m all 🥳🥳🥳🥳 in here! Oh my god — that was GREAT.

Rei x Reader (Part 1?) I’m in Love with the Antagonist!

A/n - Life’s been kinda rough, and I don’t think I’ll go back to writing requests just yet. I just felt inspired by the latest episode of I’m in Love with the Villianness (Hated the Lene and Lambert plot tho). Idk if I’ll make this a series.

DISCLAIMER - This story is heavily inspired by the anime/manga, I’m in Love with the Villianess. Literally the same kinda plot with diff characters, but no knowledge of the series is needed to read this.

“Incompetent! Are you dosing off right now? Honestly, I can’t believe a prestigious school like Hope’s Peak doesn’t give out entrance exams to be rid of nitwits like yourself.”

Rei’s harsh words echoed through your mind as you read them off her text window. Her dialogue wasn’t spoken aloud, only a single “Hmph!” voice bit accompanying her written speech. You liked to imagine her voice as stern and demeaning, adding a few of your own headcannons to it.

 Rei Mekaru was a girl who worked her way to the top, and looked down on you, someone she thought was nothing but useless and spoiled.

This girl was your escape from reality. The daily pressures of work and school, trying to socialize but not having anyone who shares your interests, and parents who only demand more and more. With life’s chains wrapped around your body, straining your every movement, your sole outlet of freedom was this silly otome game.

Funny enough, Rei Mekaru was not a love interest, but the antagonist of the story. In this game you could ramble about for hours, the MC was a student of Hope’s Peak’s 79th class, the Ultimate Baker. It may have been a choose-your-own-path type of game, but when your favorite character wasn’t a love interest, it felt a bit limiting. The love interests consisted of the nine boys in your class: Utsuro Maeda, his twin Yuki Maeda, Tsurugi Kinjo, Kinji Uehara, Yamato Kisaragi, Mitsuhiro Higa, Teruya Otori, Haruhiko Kobashikawa, and Kakeru Yamaguchi with specific events, affection levels, and cgs for each character. 

You had your favorites, but weren’t really interested in any of them. Instead, you’d comb through their routes to explore new dialogue and cgs with Rei Mekaru, who over the course of the game, ignores, humiliates, and tries to best the MC in every way. 

She was just so cute!! Rei may seem cruel, but she has a distorted view of the world, sorting people as competent and incompetent, thanks to her backstory of being abandoned by her parents and studying to keep herself off the streets. It was a shame for it all to be sidelined in favor of the love interests. 

Your eyes drooped, and you began to fall asleep to your favorite game for perhaps the hundredth time. But that was okay, the game’s background music and annoyed sprite of your favorite character was enough to keep you content, even after a rough day of being worked to exhaustion.

…

…

You were jolted awake by the sound of a hand pounding on the school desk you had been resting your head on. 

“Incompetent! Wake up! Have you not heard a word I was saying!?”

Rei looked pissed, now straightening her posture and glaring down at you.

“…Oh my god….”

You weren’t in your bedroom anymore. Hell, you weren’t even in your world anymore. You didn’t need to look at the classroom scenery twice to know you were in Hope’s Peak. And you wouldn’t, as the beautiful and familiar girl in front of you captured your complete attention.

Rei Mekaru was here in front of you. This wasn’t a cosplay or just a dream. The girl whose design, backstory, and character you loved so much was standing right in front of you, with her classic annoyed expression and her voice as irritated and angelic as you imagined. 

“…Do I have to repeat myself again?” She sighed, “You-...?”

Were your eyes sparkling? Maybe, you resembled your designable avatar, and was basically an anime character now. Were you shaking? Not a bone in your body could remain still, and you fought the urge to hug her right there. 

“You are amazing…” You breathed. 

“Wh-What..!? D-Don’t speak such nonsense!” Rei looked completely taken aback. 

You still couldn’t believe it. Not only were you in your favorite game, but you could do and say whatever you wanted! You could spend time with Rei! You could get close to her! And maybe even…!

You took a breath. She is a person, not an object. You couldn’t force herself into anything. Plus, this game is supposed to be centered around boys.

But with your knowledge of her future, her past, and her character…

You may be able to forge your own path.

Hello, if you don't mind, can I ask, who are your top favorite romantic relationship's couples in any media, like anime/manga, tv series, books, etc (can be canon or non-canon)? Feel free if you want to write the reasons or not of why you love them....Thanks if you want to answer....

Hiiii!! I see you're doing a bit of a survey for this and I'm more than happy to provide my data 💪💪

As I have no idea who my actual favourites are (I find these things difficult to rank and it tends to depend on what I'm into at the minute) I'll just tell you about the people I can think of rn!!

OH MY GOD THESE GUYS. I love machi ofcofc and her & Yuki are sooo sweet but there is something so special about the first person you can truly be honest with. Kakeru takes Yuki's serious, standoffish, closed-off self, cracks a joke, cracks the door open, and lets Yuki crawl to him at his own pace. Kakeru represents a lot of Yuki's change and is the catalyst for most of it. Meanwhile, Yuki helps Kakeru with cool stuff like being a brother. Also, don't forget the shoujo bubbles 💀💀

Yukeru

(respect to Machi btw. I'm a multshipper here)

Childhood friends! Childhood friends! Childhood friends! Also theyre so funny together. They literally have the kids snapping their necks like they're watching a tennis match trying to keep up with their bickering😭😭

Matchablossom

They embody such a sense of nostalgia, to have loved and lost, to never be able to go back but always fighting to move forward. To be all each other has, but to extend yourself to help others too.

Also they have adopted kids so..canon?

Soukoku

They're telepathic, gay, and they hate each other. #iconic

(seriously I have such a soft spot for "dream team" ships!! Obviously skk have more to them but to me it's always gonna come down to "only a diamond can polish a diamond").

Iwaoi

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS! CHILDHOOD FRIENDS! CHILDHOOD FRIENDS!

I never stop thinking about them, genuinely. They know everything about each other and have never stopped. At no point do their struggles stem from their separation, because there Is no separating iwaoi. Opposite ends of the world? Ok. Still a duo. A twosome. Will require surgery to separate.

Bokuaka & Ushiten

Freak4freak. Enough said.

Honourable mentions: fengqing, hakyona, kagehina

Thanks for the ask!!

I will not reach you. 君には届かない。Ep 4

I was thinking about subtitles the entire first half of the episode so wasn't really liveblogging, but. These two. I love them. I love the pacing of this show. I really, really like the classmates, especially Hosaka, obnoxious as he's being.

Murasen is such a high school teacher. Dajare and all.

Hosaka is NOT letting this go and I love that for him, for me, and (ultimately, though I don't think he appreciates it yet) for Yamato (and Kakeru).

Arashiyama? EXCELLENT choice, Yamato's clearly a man of taste. When I lived in Kyoto I'd sometimes just bike out to have a walk in the bamboo grove, or to have sweets at one of the cafés, or just stand on Togetsukyo and look out over the water.

Yamato's smile when Kakeru offered!! I am so tempted to translate 'yakusoku da yo' with 'it's a date', but. aaah.

KYOTO oh I miss it (in case that wasn't clear from the rant above)

My kneejerk reaction just now was "oh NO not the girls", which isn't really fair to them – Kayo deserves to see her bf, and Akane is sweet.

"i need the bathroom" classic Yamato

these two, is2g

calling him out to see the stars with you, holy shit, you've got it just as bad as Yamato, Kakeru

the dad lives!!! aah I'm really happy to hear that somehow

awww, they really do go way back

oh Yamato, you're really trying

friends to lovers best dynamic forever, I said what I said

ONSENNNN

ONSENNNNNN

ahahaha Kakeru's SO in his head (but then again, who knows what goes down in the bathroom with teenagers – I legit got groped in the chest by a same-gender classmate during bath time on my own school trip, so, uh, maybe not unreasonable to assume things might get weird)

poor Kakeru, being used as a mule

Yamato is acting 'normal' because he's used to being in love with you, kiddo

HOSAKA

I love Hosaka so much

I kind of wonder about Hosaka's backstory now, with him all insightful

oh that shirt on Kakeru! I want that shirt!

ahaha CLASSIC

aaah, tatami. I'm almost sad my own class trip was to Hokkaido so we stayed at a regular hotel :'D but only almost

I am FOAMING AT THE MOUTH god these two, these TWO

the pacing of this show is so good!

In case you couldn't tell, I'm thoroughly in love with this show. Is it special? maybe not. but like many of my favourites (*cough* Bad Buddy *cough*) it takes an ordinary, run-of-the-mill story and tells it in a really lovely way.

Also apparently the Japanese shorthand for this show is kiminai, so I'll be rebranding in my head and tags, sigh

u see if we look at kinjis ftes then that establishes the importance of having conversations to kinjis relationship with a person. he repeatedly emphasizes that he doesn't push his beliefs on others, and just would like to inform people of the path they could take. he and yuki have good conversations and yuki listens to kinjis thoughts (not necessarily follows his every word, and definitely doesnt become christian. but he doesnt just view it as kinji yapping abt nothing).

yuki and kinjis consistent conversations lead to kinji viewing yuki as a friend- his first friend, and baptizing him to make it all official. its literally "we have had an abundant number of conversations. can we be considered friend?" then cut to "oh we are? okay cool. lemme go through an informal baptism with u where i say we'll be besties for forever <3" which ive made at least one joke about before (saying that this means they're married now)

....NOW. pre despair. utsuro was being a edgy loner who didnt interact with anyone. so... was kinji without friends? is my point here going to be that he probably got close w kanata and kakeru, leading to what we say in chapter 6 flashbacks? NO. NO IT IS NOT.

THATS RIGHT BESTIES. WE ALL SHOULD KNOW BY NOW WHO KINJI HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH PRE DESPAIR. YEP. ITS ANOTHER TSUHARA POST. CONVERSATIONS IMPORTANT TO KINJI CANON. TSUHARA CONVERSATIONS CANON. TSUHARA FOREVER. TSUHARA ETERNAL. TSUHARA ETERNAL BESTIES UNDER THE EYES OF GOD. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Kakeru: oh my god please please please please PLEASE can I suck your dick PLEASE I want to suck it soooo badly I'm gonna die please!!!

Yuki: why are you begging... you literally did it just last night. :/
