ok see the thing. that thing about sasamiya/hirakagi. harusono knows her tropes. she's a fujoshi and a writer and she knows her way around bl/yaoi. so she takes these tropes and kicks them in the nuts for her own joy and amusement. and that's the fun of the ride

#people (modern fandom) LOOOOOVES positing sasamiya as like #The Good Pure Starter Manga For Baby Queers Who Are NOT Fujin #(which colours their perception of hirakagi but thats a whole other thing)#when it's not. it's not a starter manga.#its very much not for baby queers who think fujos are demonspawn out to destroy the respectability of Good (Cis)Gay Men #sasamiya is a comedy. a gag manga almost. where she kubrick stares at her fellow fujin thru the fourth wall #and she does it with the skill of someone who LOVES bl. who LOVES being a fujoshi. who LOVES these tropes and setups and cliches #“bad boys who aren't really bad boys” is almost a tagline to introduce sasaki #(and hirano. this isnt about him rn)#it's all very tongue in cheek and really fucking funny and that's like.#that's the fun of it. being a fujin is 80% of the FUN of reading sasaki to miyano #to elevate it to Not Like Other BL status is to do it a disservice at the most basic level #and a lot of the fandom's weirdness (/neg) stems from that. and i think i reserve the right to say it.#anywya. good talk.#ssmy
