#i can go on for hours abt them SORRU

[toranekooo]

it isn't really that bad on desktop!! some of the text was.. quite small though -w-" but aside from that, it's pretty good!! anyway, i personally. know nothing about lipxlip and honeyworks (i wasn't fronting while you were posting about it, i think??) so i'd be interested to hear some more about it if you wanna talk about it! :> -nisha! (aurora anon)

yeahhh im not as big of a fan of small text on desktop bc it's hard to read, even for me so i plan on fixing them once i get on my PC sob ALSO AAAAAA im always in the mood to talk abt honeyworks tbh and since it's a little too big to explain, we'll focus on the funky little dudes in my carrd. they're known as lipxlip, a virtual idol unit produced by honeyworks! the two of them are shibasaki aizou (voiced by nobunaga shimazaki) and someya yuujirou (voiced by uchiyama kouki). when they debuted, we only knew their first names so the fandom collectively refers to them as aizou and yuujirou. you can find their songs on youtube along with the MVs!

anyway onto them exactly, onstage and in front of their fans, they act as personality foils for one another, with aizou being lipxlip's "sun" as he's more passionate, friendly, and warm, and yuujirou serving the role of the "moon" by being more calm, polite, and cool...or that's how they act onstage at least. spoilers for literally everything under the cut bc i cannot shut up even if i tried

anyway actually they have very different personalities outside their stage personas, with aizou expressing immense discomfort around women (he has his reasons i swear) and being known to lash out without filter, meanwhile yuujirou's easily annoyed and looks down on others. i like to say they have a signature glare and glower for everyone they meet underneath the idol personas. anyway, despite this, they're genuinely good people, with both having a soft spot for their friends, and they consider each other their most important person. (they have..so much romantic connotation in every song and have paralleled a canon couple and yet *shakes visibly* honeyworks give me aiyuu i beg).

onto why they're like that, both of them have terribly messy family situations, with aizou's mother being heavily implied to be abusive as well as constantly with different men—adding to his brother going through a playboy phase (he got out of it and he and his girlfriend are the canon couple that aiyuu parallels), all of which resulted to aizou being uncomfortable around women for long periods of time. yuujirou comes from a family with a great history in Japanese Theatre, specifically Kabuki, and wanted to become the successor to his stepfather's brand but was rejected as the heir due to them only marrying into the family. his younger stepbrother, koichiro, thinks very lowly of yuujirou and considers the fact that he'll be the heir to the family brand something to brag about, as it was something yuujirou himself wanted.

anyway their pasts are Bad™ but eventually they found solace in becoming idols, and despite their protests, were placed together as lipxlip. their partnership is genuinely beautiful because yes, they're little shits, yes they yell and fight and throw insults without question, but they care about each other and each other's dreams, they know the limits on what to poke and tease and regardless of what becomes of them, they do actually have each other's back. aizou will always be the only one who can match up to yuujirou, and yuujirou will always be the only one who can match up to aizou. they're each other's halves and that's the whole point of their relationship. being broken and finding the pieces to fix each other.

ANYWAY IM CRYING OVER THEM AGAIN YAHOO THATS ENOUGH BEING DRAMATIC OVER THEM

also the guy in my current theme is also from honeyworks! he's from lipxlip's senior unit, Full Throttle4 (shortened to FT4) and the character is IV (pronounced as ibu, read as the roman numeral 4) and if you think lipxlip's backstories are sad these guys are getting a one way ticket to therapy from me

ANYWAY thank u for letting me ramble abt them nisha!! this was fun and i could literally talk more but i'd probably scare you LDHJDHD
