For the character ask, how about Yumoto and the twins, if you feel like doing all three~ If not, you can pick which one(s) you're up for talking about. ^^

SURE I’M UP FOR ALL OF IT!

Yumoto

NOTP: Aside from the obvious Gora (like... ew) I don’t know if I really have any. Like, most of the DC I can’t really see with him romantically but I’m not like repulsed by any of the ships. I suppose I really CAN’T see Io/Yumoto at all so maybe that counts... the others are a little easier.

BROTP: Does Gora count? Lol but seriously there should be more fics of Yumoto and Gora hanging out and doing brother things. Like I headcanon that Yumoto tells Gora EVERYTHING and Gora just kinda nods and listens while he chops wood and sometimes isn’t the best at remembering inane things Yumoto tells him but anything important? Like yeah he’s all over that shit.

As for the other characters, IbuYu seems to be a common brotp but idk Ibushi... has never stood out to me. I can definitely see Yumoto wanting to be his friend but I don’t know how much Ibushi would want to reciprocate. Out of the DC Ryuu strikes me as the one who would hang out with Yumoto the most outside of being in a group. Since they’re the closest in age and despite Ryuu wanting to act older than he is they probably play videogames together or something.

OTP: I feel like I’m so ~controversial~ when I say I really REALLY ship Yumoto and Haru and/or Aki. Mostly Haru but OT3 is good too because I don’t quite know where to put Aki otherwise. Haru just seems so needy for affection of any kind and once the twins get their heads out of their asses and realize Yumoto isn’t some jerk (and they apologize for their douchery), Haru would gravitate towards Yumoto because hey- CUDDLES GALORE. And as far as I’m concerned Yumoto would forgive the twins if they apologized to him and were sincere because he understands what it’s like to be lonely. So Haru and Yumoto would go from awkward friends who cuddle occasionally to friends to eventually boyfriends and maybe Yumoto would get the same type of relationship with Aki but a bit more lowkey.

Second Choice Pairing: If Aki doesn’t count because I kind of OTP HaruMoto and BeppuMoto OT3, it’d probably be Kinshiro. Like I didn’t really consider the two of them together until I saw it mentioned elsewhere and it kinda clicked that they might get along, but Kinshiro would definitely have to be the one to extend the olive branch because if Yumoto does it I could see Kinshiro kind of just ignoring him because he’s too... Yumoto. Kinshiro seems to like quiet and Yumoto is decidedly not but similarly to the twins, Kinshiro would probably appreciate the physical affection and sheer amount of attention that Yumoto would bring to the table. It’d reassure his insecurities and such.

Fluffy Pairing: ...I feel like all of these are gonna be the same answer lol. BeppuMoto is just a giant cuddle pile, after a bit of awkward pre-dating and dating. All three of them are just starved for attention and then once Yumoto figures out ‘hey twice the cuddles’ he is all over his boyfriends and the twins are like ‘well we share everything anyway’ and Yumoto has enough love to go around twice over. Just picture cutesy ramen dates when the twins decide to get the sticks out of their asses and try ‘lower class’ stuff. Or they find a new amusement park to go to the three of them. Asdlkfjsdk I need like 20 fics with them stat.

Angsty Pairing: Uh- to avoid saying twins again perhaps Kinshiro? Cuz the flip side of them finding some happiness and stability in each other is they egg each other’s ‘dark sides’ on on accident? Idk how that’d happen but it popped into my head.

Poly ship: ...twins, the end. Explained above.

Weirdest Pairing: Io/Yumoto as mentioned above because I just can’t see it at all? Like that’d be pretty weird. Also Akoya/Yumoto would be a little off-the-wall even though I could see it working a bit. It’d just take awhile to even start because they’re in completely different worlds, kind of like Kinshiro as well.

Long story short, any ship with Yumoto needs a lot of buildup because he doesn’t have any close relationships as is outside of the generic group dynamic of the DC. So any potential partner would need to spend quality time with Yumoto by himself and then they both realize the potential for affection and attraction and stuff- because let’s be serious like half of this cast is probably really fucking lonely underneath their exteriors (like, probs Ibushi, Akoya, twins def, Ryuu, Kinshiro...) and cuddle-monster-Yumoto is also lonely BUT I can see him being a really attentive partner once he matures a little bit. He already puts others before himself, so he’d anticipate his partners’ needs rather well.

Twins

I’ll include both Haru and Aki in each of these because despite wanting to view them as completely separate people they need a lot more development for me to see them as individuals rather than a unit. Working on it with fic but I need to finish my rewatch of the series to get back into it. (Life happened.)

NOTP: I actually really don’t ship either of the twins with Gora- he’s a big brother/idol figure and any relationship he’d have with them would be really, really unhealthy. At least while they’re still in high school (because y’know, age gap and their stunted maturity). Maybe when they become adults a slow burn with one of them and Gora might work- I lean more towards Aki with that but more on that later. Other people I just can’t see them with are Io and Ibushi- no particular reason I just don’t think their personalities gel well romantically.

BROTP: Yumoto could land in this category as well if you don’t take a romantic route with any of the three. But for the purpose of trying to have more variety in my answers, I can see Haru getting along with Ryuu rather well considering they have similar elements and are both salty AF when necessary. Aki would probably get along with sass masters Ibushi or Atsushi because of the thinly-veiled snark. They’d snark at everything. Collectively the twins would probably be friends with Kinshiro and/or Akoya, considering the upper crust tastes and all. They could laugh at all the peasants together.

OTP: HaruMoto, answered above. To pick something different if Aki isn’t part of an OT3, Aki and Gora as a slow burn friends to lovers in the future might be kind of cute. The reason being for this is that I picture Haru being the one with more idol-worship to Gora than Aki (but again I need to rewatch season 2 to confirm), so Aki would probably be on more even footing to have a friendship with Gora once the idolization wore off. Also Aki is definitely more of a caretaker, which he has in common with Gora. So if Haru is with Yumoto, Aki and Gora could bond over their siblings being needy together. I guess.

Second Choice Pairing: Haru and Ryuu and Aki and Akoya, if I had to pick. Why? The pinks complement each of the twins with snark, sass and attitude in different ways. And both pinks wouldn’t let the twins’ idol complexes get too big; they wouldn’t be afraid to knock their respective Beppu down a couple pegs.

Fluffy Pairing: I suppose answered above. And below at polyship.

Angsty Pairing: As much as I dislike twincest at this point (really reminds me of my ouran days... shudders), that would be the angst times twelve. On a similar note, the twins sharing Gora like they so desperately want to would be super angsty and unhealthy, despite Gora’s likely best efforts to keep them happy. I can’t see them sharing Gora well, even though I can see them sharing Yumoto. They’d both want to be Gora’s *ONLY* partner, and wind up resenting his brother, while a relationship with Yumoto would be built on more than idol worship, and Yumoto would probably do better with treating them as individuals. Gora would try, but the jealousy would get in the way.

Poly Ship: I’ll wax more poetic about BeppuMoto because I can, but focus on the individual relationships involved. Yumoto and Haru would have a little spicier dynamic, considering I view Haru needing more attention than Aki does. Haru is quick to anger, quick to react and quick to be hurt, which Yumoto would help soothe and even out his temperament while Haru would provide Yumoto with attention in return, as well. Yumoto’s soothing talks would also be part of their dynamic, helping Haru come down from whatever has worked him up, though he might resent being talked to like a monster every now and then lol. Aki on the other hand is the counterbalance to the energy Haru takes up, using his caretaking personality to well, take care of Yumoto when needed, but also getting his own affection needs met because Yumoto has enough cuddles for everyone twice over. Yumoto would also listen to Aki, which seems like something Haru would struggle with with both his brother and boyfriend, so... overall the three have this mutually beneficial thing going on. Eventually.

Weirdest pairing: Probably one of the twins and En, because that’s another one I can’t really see working out that I just thought of. A weird one that I could see working would probably be Atsushi with Haru- idk, mamAtsushi might even out the salty one.

Pink

This is for @mindsebbandflow‘s new giveaway, and let me tell you I wasn’t sure how to express my love for my favorite character. Although by now, I’m very sure that my followers can guess which boueibu character is my favorite.

Ryuu has been my favorite ever since I first watched the show, and even before. He stood out to me in all the promotional material as well. By now it was just his pinkness or.. The adorable factor that caused it, although... What's not to love?

I’ve taken this as an excuse to rant about my favorite character so prepare yourself for a long post dedicated to Ryuu Zaou and my love for him.

Also included: - Headcanons - Speculations - Some pics - AU ideas (sponsored by me and @fillyrika) - LOTS of ranting, I mean it when I say this turned out long.

Ryuu is adorable, there is no denying it.

His Looks His hair is bright and looks so soft, and he's got big, bright, brown eyes that really go well with all that pink. I have a bias for him with his hair down, but he's had his hair plenty of ways which I all enjoyed, look at these!

I'm sure there's probably some I missed. I love those two from the posters too. Look at how bright they are. And Ryuu really knows how to accessorize. I like that he has earrings, and wears headbands, plus the fedora looked really nice on him too.

His outfits from what we seen range from stylish (season 1 ep 7, staff said they picked the outfit from a fashion magazine) to cozy. (season 2 ep 8, sugary ioryuu poster)

I think he looks a lot younger with his hair down, which is probably why he wears it up. Can't be a womanizer if you look like a kid after all.

Personality Enough about his looks now. On to his personality. Ryuu is playful and fun. Reckless, bold, impatient, loud, charismatic, cheery and sweet. He often acts without thinking, and always speaks his mind. Those don't always go well together, and it led to him hurting Yumoto's feelings in season 2. It was never addressed, mainly because Yumoto himself didn't address it.

Still personality but some speculation and headcanons join in now ^^

But there's also some things Ryuu doesn't say. Those things are noticed through his actions. Ryuu has a strong, needy desire to be liked. Not just popular, but liked. It's where his people pleasing tendencies come from. That combined with how he dates around, leads me to think that Ryuu wants to feel wanted.

Did I mention that I LOVE how one of the first thing Io noticed about Ryuu, was that Ryuu is a huge people pleaser and does anything to be liked?! Because my feels!!

And judging by how Ryuu reacted how Io was leaving the defense club in season 1 episode 6, I think kiddo has abandonment issues.

The source of it? Well in novel 1 we find out that Ryuu is raised by his grandma and not his parents. This leads me to believe that

Considering that Ryuu lives with his grandma and not with his parents, I headcanon that his parents left him with her, not when he was a baby, but when he was old enough to understand that his parents left and didn't come back for him. But he wouldn't be old enough to be able to understand that it was his parents' error. He'd think they left because they didn't like him. Because they didn't want him.

So from then on Ryuu started to do everything he could do, to get people to like him. And when he discovered dating.... Well Ryuu is a softy. He likes romance, those trival realistic moments, like sharing coffee with a girl, or when your shoulders brush when the train shakes. Dating lots of girls makes Ryuu feel like he's wanted.

Plus he's a fluffy romance lover!

THEY GROW UP SO FAST!!!

Another thing that's amazing about Ryuu is that deep down he doesn't always feel like he's amazing. That's what we found out in season 2 episode 6.

"I'm an idiot who only thinks of getting with girls." -Ryuu Zaou s2e6

Me and Io shared that appalled tone because D: !! Kiddo no! You're amazing and I love you. And of course I ADORED THE SUBTLE LAYER OF WONDERFUL ANGST!!!

There's more than meets the eye with Ryuu. He's not the smartest and he knows it. But he's a social butterfly and good with reading people. I was honestly surprised by his good analysis on the Beppu twins. So was Io for that matter.

I think that Ryuu is a very good liar/actor, because he knows what people want to hear. We've seen him do it with Wombat in season 1 episode 11, making up the word 'lovetivity' and saying just the right things to get Wombat to agree with him.

Another thing we learn about Ryuu in season 2 is that he can draw. At least chibis XD and in the otome game, when we see Ryuu's room there's this framed picture of a man in fashionable clothes. Now I doubt that Ryuu would frame a magazine clipping. So... What if he designed that himself?

Headcanon: Ryuu goes to study fashion design in Tokyo. Not only that but he ends up going to the same college as Akoya where they end up being roommates.

I can also picture Ryuu becoming a fashion designer when he's older.

I headcanon that Ryuu's grandma owns a bakery, and she helped Ryuu make those chocolates for Io.

Some talk of the side material. Well I love Ryuu in the otome game. It gave us lots of gems like that picture of Ryuu's room. This adorable pj pic

Thanks to @vashtijoy for giving me that keychain I still treasure it! That game also gave us that wonderful ioryuu route. I still love reading @intra-fiducia‘s translations of that game, and the ioryuu friend end. Plus there is that wonderful post about how ioryuu are in the game.

I didn't actively follow the conquest club's manga, but I enjoyed that it showed that Ryuu being good at those machine grabby game things, to win stuffed toys. He must have had lots of practice thanks to winning toys for his dates.

The novels are a treasure, not just for how they portray the characters but also because of the more serious plot. I already talked about the first novel so I won't do it again. The second and third novel aren't translated though, but a bit from one of the first chapters makes me think that Ryuu may be the result of an unplanned teen pregnancy.

Someone told me about how shippy the third novel is, and I can't wait to find out more about that!

There's that comic thing, which I adored, mostly because of my ultimate brotp! Pink Bros! I love the comic in which the pinks work out together, and how Akoya worried about telling Ryuu he was leaving. Those to became close friends and I love it! I love how Akoya grew to care about Ryuu and- Akoya is good at reading people too! I bet he understood that Ryuu has abandonment issues and worried about telling Ryuu that he was leaving.

And their friendship was still in a fragile new place for him too.

Now I LOVE the Boueibu manga, it's still going, but that ioryuu chapter made that thing priceless! How ioryuu have their first real fight in it! Io worrying about Ryuu getting a cold and putting a blanket over him. And that face kiddo makes when Io says "Stay at my side forever!" Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

It's no secret that I enjoyed the boueibu stage play. Aramaki portrayed Ryuu so well. Captured his fun spirit and his cuteness, and looked great while doing it. Aramaki spoke like Ryuu, walked like Ryuu and sang like Ryuu. It's scary! He even moved like Ryuu! The play is filled with so many wonderful moments as well!

Relationships with others

IORYUU = LIFE

I'm not joking, this ship brings me so much joy. The way they look at each other, how they sound different when talking to each other. How they'd blindly defend the other against their peers. Io's protectiveness is so great! And that they're opposites but admire each other's differences. They're so proud of each other! I'll say it again I love protective Io.

There's so many wonderful ioryuu moments, all of episodes 6, both in season 1 and 2. Those posters, their duets. God I love Sync a Think!

I've made many separate posts about ioryuu so I'll leave it at this for now.

There's akoryuu/pink bros. My ultimate brotp. In my recent fanfic Pink Blood, I made them discover that they're actually related in canon universe. All because Akoya's father had a one night stand with Ryuu's mom. I've loved this BROTP since I started planning my fanfic In the Name of Love, and have been in love with it ever since.

They're also related in several of the AUs I created with @fillyrika. Such as: - Mermaid AU - Fairy AU - Magic School AU - DC Villains AU - CPS AU

And they have a sibling like bond in - Brothel AU - Slave AU - Monster AU

Then there's also Enryuu, season 2 give me a thing that I had kinds hoped for but didn't expect to fall in love with. I kind low-key shipped enryuu before, because the smut would be steamy. (get it Fire + water) But now it's a strong brotp as well. There's several GREAT fanfics for this brotp as well. Like the fic where En stop Ryuu from being bullied, and the one where enryuu wear matching skirts ^^

I have lots of Ryuu merchandise too, I'll share a pic of it later ^^

And I've reached the point were I call Ryuu my son so much, that my mom started calling him her grandson.

Now this post turned out very long, so I wonder if you're still reading this. Sorry about this, I feel like I still have things to say, but I can't think of more right now. At the very least I got the chance to share some of my thoughts on kiddo.
