#shogunmaitoh

[heretherebedork]

I have to admit that I have a new favorite dynamic and it's 'pining best friend watches his friend fall in love with someone older and colder who is taking care of him and then doesn't get the boy because the rich, wealthy, famous, slightly cold but deeply in love man gets the boy'.

... Look, it's happened twice, this is officially a trope, right?

Well, okay, so we don't know the end pairing in the second one but I have my hopes.

@absolutebl you don't know if you want a happy ending and I don't want the pining boy to win... what a time to be alive and watching BL!

I've caught up with House of Stars. Wow, this show is crazy, with strong soap opera vibes: exaggeration, powerful “mother superior”,  love relationships come in complicated and wild configurations, dark pasts, old sins, new loves. Craaazy ⁓⁓ but I love it! 😃 Gun and Pitch may become my favorite couple like ShogunMaitoh but I can't resist shipping Gun with Korn as well, even though they have nothing in common lmao

[heretherebedork]

I am so happy that they're letting Green accept that Maitoh loves Shogun and having him be glad for their friendship over his romantic love for him without stopping caring about him. And it's so sweet and loving and it puts such a good and beautiful value on friendship, I love it here.

[heretherebedork]

Shut up they're cute, okay? Look. This is what happens when I watch everything I manage to start... I try to find something to enjoy. But also they're just genuinely very cute. The way Maitoh is so in love and the way Shogun is just so soft with him? Oh, I love them.

Bonus: Jealousy from a third party... oh, how I wish Thailand was more open to polycules.

[heretherebedork]

Am I losing it over PitchGun? I absolutely am. That was a date. And a darling one, honestly. Gun is lost for this boy but also desperately wants to protect him from crazy stalker fans and I just... I love them, okay? So much. From sharing the hat to hide their identities to the look on the escalator to the plushie from the claw machine... Y'all, I am basically feral over these two and I don't know what to do with Zo as well.

He booked the entire restaurant because he was worried about what might happen.

literally this is like the 75th time i'm ending up rewatching why you ... y me? bc i dont wanna use my brain rn i just want a feel good show to watch and wind down to and

SHOGUN AND MAITOH STILL HIT ME THE SAME WAY LIKE THE VERY 1ST TIME I WATCHED THIS SHOW LIKE

[usertoxicyaoi]

thank god somebody saw the potential and the chemistry between gus and te to cast them again bc they as pitchbank literally carried golden blood on their backs with minimal screen time. they deserve a better quality script and i'm so glad they're getting another chance!!!!

[usertoxicyaoi]

hi!! <3 what show is your header from?

hiiii anon!!!! its from why you ... y me?

[usertoxicyaoi]

I can’t sleep so naturally I rewatched ShogunMaitoh’s scenes to pass the time (your enthusiastic screaming about them got me to watch the show in the first place and I’m glad I did, it’s a precious little show) and the language nerd in me started to wonder about something.

Maitoh uses phi to refer to Shogun and it got me thinking if he would ever switch to hia? I could see it happening with Maitoh either using it as a joke at first and both of them realising that they actually really like it, or Maitoh using it as a way of flirting, being affectionate and/or teasing. I also feel like it would only happen in private at first and if Maitoh ever started to use hia in public as well it would happen gradually, unlike with Team who ran with Hia Win and never looked back. 😂 Any thoughts?

(And happy last day of this year! 🎆)

hi hi hiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

FHFNSIFID ANY THOUGHTS?! FOR SHOGUNMAITOH? THERE'S ALWAYS THOUGHTS!!!! and i'm soooo glad you like it!!! it really is SUCH a lovely warm little show!!!!

yeah no i literally think maitoh would probably call him hia a few months down the line into their relationship, especially when he starts hanging out / sleeping over at shogun's place more and more frequently, and he sees the exact way namwah says "hiiiiiaaaaaaaa" when she wants something from shogun or is tryna make up with him, and he sees how SOFT shogun is and how EASILY he just .... gives in to his little sister .....

so he keeps that in mind and then one time maitoh wants shogun to finish work early in the studio but shogun's all "listen Babe i NEED to finish this" and maitoh just literally WHINES "hiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaa", and that Literally has shogun PAUSE and turn slowly to face maitoh who has the BIGGEST doe eyed look on his face, and he says it again, and again, and he's now Literally just smirking at shogun and then says "oh? does hiiiaaa not have work to finish now?" before walking out of the studio and heading Straight to shogun's bedroom.

SO YES. and they keep it between themselves for a bit and shogun ADOOOORES it when maitoh calls him hia (for the Very Same Reasons that win has when team calls him hia)

until one day they're with everyone and they're having band practice and shogun wants them to run through it again but maitoh knows that this is just shogun wanting it to be Perfect Perfect when its already good enough anyway. so he just whines "ohhh hiiiiaaaaa i'm tired!! .... " and EVERYONE's just like.

O.O .... WHAT did you just say?

and maitoh does That Thing he does when he gets shy, looks down and purses his lips together and has that little smile, before he looks up to see shogun who's just. Looking At Him. and his ears are literally RED like they were when they first kissed. and he somehow manages to say "uh yeah okay thats enough for today." and everyone just sorta Gets The Hint and leaves.

and maitoh just shrugs his shoulders with sooo much casual confidence when shogun looks at him again, and then teases him and asks "what's wrong, hiiiia?". bc yeah, what is there to hide now anyway? everyone knows. everyone knoooows.

uhhhh and what can shogun do anyway! like he's sooooo FOND OF and ENDEARED BY maitoh he GIVES in to him EVERYTIME. he is Literally his BABY the APPLE OF HIS EYE.

SO YEAH. shogun just ends up shaking his head with the biggest grin on his face, walks up to maitoh who's sat behind his drums, takes his face in his hands, and replies,

"nothing. nothing's wrong. besides, i like it when you call me hia. but you already know that."

(happy new years eve to you tooooo!!!! 🧡🧡🧡)

Honestly, I'm glad i gave Why You... Y me? A try because you can tell how much effort was put into it. From quality to acting there are no holes at all.

The straight couple is actually quite cute and the side couples as well... the humor is actually quite funny (and made me laugh aloud a few times) which is always a hit and miss for most BLs/lakorns so thanks a lot for posting about it otherwise I would've never known.

Its criminally good though I suppose it's not as popular because if the straight couple which is a shame. I'm still on episode 4 so I'm looking forward to more of ShogunMaitoh, hopefully there's more of them 🤞🏼 'cause they're really cute.

hiiiii anon!!!! yesssss!!! production wise you can tell its real quality! and just, the whole thing in itself just Looks so neat and good. its so funny and the vibe it gives is so chill too and the dynamics between the characters are so good and strong and the premise of it is very Meta of fandom too.

shoguuuuuuun and maaaaitooooooh!!! my daaarlings!! every episode just build on them more and more and they have such honest interactions and such Good Chemistry between them that it reminds me a little of how teamwin made me first initially feel during uwma: butterflies!!!!! and warmth!!!! and just a Lot of "aaah you two are MADE for each other" bc of they way they connect to one another.

but yeah, i do hope you enjoy the rest of the show! next week is the finale!
