ROBIN JASON LITERALLY IS LIKE. IN THE END YOU ONLY WANTED TO FIND SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN BELONG WITHOUT WANTING TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR EXISTENCE. SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT HAD AN YOU-SHAPED HOLE WAITING TO BE FILLED. IT WILL BE YEARS LATER THAT YOU REALIZE YOU ARE THE MALIGN GROWTH. THAT YOU WERE A SUPERFLUOUS PART OF THE PLAY. THAT YOU WERE EXCISED AND THE WOUND YOU LEFT BEHIND HEALED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
When they're not friends or lovers but a secret worse third thing (defying boundaries and blurring the lines between all other conventional relationships)
Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭
Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)
It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭
people who make sapnap out to be this big mean badass edgy guy or someone who wont say ily to his friends are so fucking funny to me. like besides dream sometimes he's the loviest in the dream team, ESPECIALLY vocally. he'll talk all day about how much he loves dream and george, he'll protect his friends at whatever cost, he loves animals so much, he got two kittens because he didn't want to leave the other alone, he loves SO MUCH and he's so loud about it, he is so unafraid to say i love you to his friends and it's so beautiful.
like you're telling me that the guy who once said he doesn't have to be tricked into saying he loves dream is this big mean monster? really???
