Oh no I love them. But also this darling boy who remembers him as his first love and is just so shaken and adorable and I'm dying already.

He was dazzling is the best line I've heard in a long time. Oh, the love of it all. To think back to middle school and remember your first love as dazzling, as bright and brilliant and the center of the world, the center of your world, for sure.

Takizawa still carries so much love in his heart for the past that he aches with it, with his own softness and tenderness compared to Ren's brashness.

It's okay because, in Tokyo, Ren is here and, again these two are painfully adorable when they're young.

And that is why he loves Ren. Got it, see it, get it. Look at this boy and his recorder pen!

Can we talk about Takizawa's posture here? @absolutebl Can we talk about his posture here? He is like a sunflower around Ren.

The absolute baby of it all. Takizawa is a baby girl and I am prepared to dedicate myself to him. Just look at him. He's still pining after his first love! He's still in love with the same boy he watched fireworks with in middle school. He still loves what he sees in this man that reminds him of being comforted when he moved to a new country and their first love and he never lost that love.

Augh.

If you want to stay unseen, I'll close my eyes. I don't want you to keep it all in. TOKYO IN APRIL IS... Episode 4 // Episode 8

[harurio]

PSA: TW

ep7 of tokyo in april is... contains a scene of attempted rape/sexual assault. as it occurs at the end of the episode, it is unclear as of now whether the attempt is successful. the show has dealt with heavy topics thus far, but this is a step further and i want to make sure no one goes into it blind!

Kaneki:

He likes it, I mean deep down we know that Shiro Kaneki is a per.v and sensual guy so he's all for it.

Ken likes it when you call him by his first name and loves it most if you whisper in his ear.

It's also what he does to you.

Might blush tho if it's at the beginning of the relationship but after that, this man has no shame.

"Why don't you wear that bodysuit that I bought you?" He'd whisper in your ear.

"Who says I'm not wearing it?" You'd grin before k!ssing him on the l!ps.

Hide:

He's a big-time fl!rt so he thinks that your approach is cute.

Like Hide is not even phased by it tbh.

He'd honestly make you regret that you bothered fl!rting with him bc he just tops it.

Literally like you'll say something a little fl!rty and he'll answer with something that is just out of bounds, lol.

"You look good today." You'd giggle seeing him dressed up.

"Thanks, you look like a whole damn snack tho."

You almost choked "Hide!"

Ayato:

He is a per.v but does blush sometimes.

No joke tho if you fl!rt tho he's not letting you live it down.

That's just facts.

He won't be shy about it tho when you say things to him.

He likes it and is interested in where it will lead.

"You don't have any shame."

"Well, you're my audience, it's only natural for you to watch." You'd sm*rk.

Yomo:

He's blushing all the way.

He doesn't fl!rt, but he is a per.v when he wants to be.

Might be confused as to why you're acting the way you are.

But if you provoke him enough he'll act on it.

"You wanna have some fun, Ren? I know a few ways."

"Hmm, what'd you have in mind?"

Uta:

Fl!rts right back.

Like no questions asked.

His fl!rting is much worse.

He makes sure it is.

And honestly even tho he's your bf he's always fl!rting with you bc he's playful like that.

"Uta, you're my boyfriend there's no point in asking me out on a date."

"You could always change your mind one day, Y/n . . . Unless you just want to skip to s*x, cheeky girl."

Furuta:

Big-time fl!rt and creep tbh, so you fl!rting with him is nothing.

That's probably how your dating started you were at a bar and so was he and you looked mysterious to him and so he kinda just wanted to see what you were like.

You were probably a bit of a brat to him which made him even more interested. He approached you and you fl!rted with him bc you figured he was just a fling.

Seeing this, he really wanted to freak you. And on top of it, he was being the biggest fl!rt ever and trying to swindle you.

And it worked.

Like don't get me wrong he likes when a girl has a bit of a dirty mind but his favorite thing is going beyond that and surprising her with his k!nks.

You also like to tea$e which he responds back with something to make you blush and feel hot and bothered.

"You have fun with your co-workers but not with me."

"Aww, princess, does that upset you?" He'd sm!rk coming up behind you, sneaking his hand up your skirt to feel your cr*tch.

"Does this make up for it?" He'd chuckle feeling your wetness.

Takizawa (ghoul):

He doesn't fl!rt a lot tbh, he does tea$e and joke with you though.

really likes it when you're a brat about it too.

And he gets really playful with you.

As for you tho I don't think you directly fl!rt, you do it more with tone and your eyes.

He loves it most when you talk sweetly but want something.

"Then could you do it for me, please baby?" You'd smile before k!ssing him on the Iips.

"Only because you're asking so nicely." He'd grin before k!ssing you.

You are usually the more playful one and he's kinda dull with his affection not that he doesn't do it or he's shy, he just a little cold.

So you're usually making the jokes or whatever and then he gets in it.

If you tea$e him by sitting on his lap tho, you're going to pay for that.

You're the one who's like the sun. That's why I'll never let you go. I'll never lose sight of you again. Ren you are my everything, my life, my Tokyo in April.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

I don't know why. It's just... With my eyes closed or open, Ren is there. That alone is enough, and nothing else matters. The only thing that matters to me is Ren.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

If you don't want me to imagine, then tell me what really happened. You don't tell me anything important.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

That day, the weather was like this too. It was raining. I had an umbrella and waited for Ren.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

As long as it connects...

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

This current situation is a miracle. Even if I don't believe in God, please, I'll do anything. I'm willing to abandon everything else. I don't want this miracle to be taken away.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Tokyo was a nostalgic place for me. And, now, Tokyo is the place where everything of mine exists.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Everyone becomes a fool when it comes to first love.

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

It feels nice. It's just like before...

[heretherebedork]

Japan's demisexual agenda continues in this show and, honestly, I don't mind. I enjoy the idea of One True Love as long as it isn't everywhere and Japan does it well. Especially with lots of these moments and lots of very good, very deep, emotional connections that make the idea of that One Love being the only one that fits make sense.

But also both Kazuma and Ren are struggling with the past all the time and they each only know their perspective on it and they've both got twisted ideas about the other person based on that past... it makes even more sense that neither of them has ever fallen in love again because they've never given up the past, they've never even begun to think past that first time they fell in love and had sex and that's where it all stopped for both of them even though life and time kept marching on.

I really do love Kazuma. He's so, so deeply in love and he will do anything if it means finding Ren again because he isn't going to let go of him this time, he will not let him go, he will not be deterred and he will not be stopped. He has found his love and he isn't letting anything or anyone, including the person he loves, destroy that.

I welcome our long drink of a man with enough sass for his height and the same kind of protective streak that everyone else in this show has over the people they love.

Knowing that Ren is prone to panic attacks and that Yagami has been there beside him for a decade when he was apart from Kazuma and that he's been watching Ren try to get back to Kazuma for this entire time is just... it's intense, honestly, to imagine the act of loving someone who does not love you and who not only does not love you but seems utterly incapable of loving anyone but the one person he's already chosen.

Ren imprinted on Kazuma and no one else can take that place. Luckily Kazuma also imprinted.

Trauma fucks you up, y'all. It fucks you up deeply and it leaves you different and if you never face it, if you never share it, it only goes deeper.

Kazuma and Ren are each sides of the same coin. Kazuma will not let go but Ren is quick to release because he loves but he believes that all he can do is hurt.

But also this is just the dumbest thing. No wonder Yagami decides to talk to Kazuma where Ren is. Yagami understands what's going on even better than Ren does because he's seeing both of them, not just Ren seeing Kazuma.

Pedestals everywhere. Japan loves putting a boy on a pedestal by another boy, it's their favorite and both Kazuma and Ren did that for the other. And, even now, only Kazuma is realizing how much he didn't and doesn't know while Ren is clinging to how he believes Kazuma is. They are the center of each other's universes but the way they spin around each other means they only see what they want to see and what they believe.

Kazuma blames himself for Ren leaving while Ren is desperately leaving Kazuma to protect him.

Kazuma is reaching out to Yagami in desperation, the same way Ren did, but he is a very different person with very different knowledge of the person he's calling and the person he loves.

This tall drink of a cynical man who's watched Ren struggle with panic attacks and love for someone not even in his life for over a decade only to meet Kazuma and realize that he really, truly is as kind and innocent as Ren describes him and to realize that he both wants them to be together but also needs Kazuma to know all of what happened? Rough.

The sex talk is him pushing and pushing and pushing, trying to break Kazuma only to realize that he can't. He cannot shake Kazuma's unshakeable love for Ren any more than he can shake Ren's love for Kazuma.

And this is the moment Yagami knows he's going to tell Kazuma everything. He's going to tell him the truth. Because Kazuma not only loves Ren but believes in him, believes in everything about him... and has the strength not just to say it but to declare it and will have the strength to stand beside him even as he does what he needs to do for the court case.

We've known it from the start but this is the moment that Yagami realizes that Ren is also wrong about Kazuma, that Kazuma is stronger and deeper than he seems.

The final test.

But also one that I am a little torn on. I would have loved for Kazuma to just say he was gay. Because I'd lean towards him being gay... but I also did go on the whole 'demisexuality is Japan's favorite trope' thing above and I do mean that.

Is Kazuma gay or is he solely and only ever attracted to Ren? Does it matter if he claims the identity that fits his relationship (gay) or his mind (Ren)? Is it gay for your if he says gender never mattered and it was only Ren? I know that demisexuality and asexuality can both be used 'in place of' gay for you in a way but where does this fall?

I do lean towards this being much more specific than gay for you because neither Kazuma nor Ren experiences any attraction or love for anyone else in their years apart but that's also just kind of the soulmates bit speaking up.

Regardless, Kazuma passes Yagami's test with flying colors. Because he sees the same love in Kazuma as he sees, and saw, in Ren.

There is no pain like this. Nothing.

But also it's so hard because Kazuma was literally in a coma. He had no means to support Ren, to try to fight alongside him, to try to help him. He was an unconscious child who would have done anything to stop that from happening and the way Yagami seems to think he should have known better is very frustrating because no one else would ever expect that of him.

They were both children. They were both trapped. Neither one of them is to blame and neither one of them deserves the weight that was put on their shoulders for their actions. This is not about Kazuma and Ren, this is about the adults who failed them so thoroughly and acting as if Kazuma is to blame for any of Ren's pain is wrong.

But also those tears are SO pretty.

Yagami, my tall dark drink of cynical water, he was a 15 year old in a coma who was whisked away to a different country when he woke up. How was he supposed to know anything?

And this gives Kazuma a different perspective on the start of their relationship, the sex and the cuddling and everything as well as giving him what he needs to understand how much Ren loves him and to finally break that pedestal he kept him of perfection and worship.

Now he just needs to help Ren let him down as well so they can stand as equals.

A+ preview much hope is had.
