#what's the point if they don't shatter his worldview at least a little regardless of why or how

[bottominerights]

all my favorite akashi ships truly boil down to bringing common sense into that young man's worldview, doesn't matter which akashi we are talking about:

akafuri, the epitome of akashi getting himself a boyfriend who's Just A Guy and who therefore can teach him things he could never learn from someone of his own status,

akamayu, where the Just A Guy is his own flavor of special still and also he has the sharpest tongue in the west and will not hesitate to disrespectfully point at the ridiculousness of akashi's mere existence where needed,

and akakaga, where kagami not only is Not Just A Guy and through and through his equal, he's also responsible for his defeat and the first in line to not put up with bullshit from any basketball chuuni in the radio of a mile and equally as willing to act defiant

pretty much all different flavors of "kind of hard to deny that i like you at this point but also jesus christ my guy, wth"
