saiki being in a romantic relationship (or alternatively, actually trying to be in one) for the first time and having no experience or knowledge on what to do, so he falls back on behaviors hes picked up from the people around him..
but the most romance hes seen close up are his parents, aiura + teruhashi + yumehara with crushes and trying to flirt, etcetc (toritsuka does not count cuz what he does is hardly romantic, and that one time kuboyasu was ready to drop everything and marry a girl immediately doesnt count either cuz saiki expressively thought that was too much)
PLUS his own 'secret' obsession with romance stories and cliches..
so like.. crushy honeymoon romance is the only romance he KNOWS..
he would definitely find it too embarrassing to actually be as consciously lovey dovey as his parents are, and wouldnt want to try and be some 'knight in shining armor' like yumehara imagined him at first, but i think that 1) it would be a lot more subconscious and he would just not know any better than to latch onto his partner and 2) he would just choose (consciously AND subconsciously depending on the situation) to just try and do what he knows but in a subtle way..
like, he wouldnt write a love letter and pair it with a homemade chocolate heart like yumehara did, but he might write little notes (which are probably more like encouraging little phrases and paragraphs like a mom would put in her kids lunch than sweet love notes) and make baked goods for someone..
its probably mostly his mom that he models his behavior after, so he cooks for his person a lot and his most notable love language is probably acts of service
thats obviously not his only love language though, quality time was always his biggest until it came to romance and acts of service just barely weighs it out. words of affirmation is a big one for him too.. physical touch is also important for him, but not in the way that it would be for most people i think. its part of his love language more in a way that if he wants to touch a person at ALL, its an expression of love.. i think he would be big on sitting close together so his thighs and hands are just barely touching theirs, holding onto someones arm or having his arm be held, stuff like that..

1000 Cranes Senbazuru Update
Progress: 267/1000
My apologies for leaving you guys craneless for a month, school starting up again and my mental health taking a pretty significant hit made me temporarily forget about the project, but no worries, I did not abandon it! We will get these cranes folded! I found a surplus of green sticky notes, so most of our additions today were green.
Also, I feel that after this slight hiatus, it might be beneficial to tell you guys what inspired me to start this whole thing to begin with. I wasn’t sure about discussing this at first because it’s quite personal but I wanted to share a bit about why the senbazuru project means so much to me.
When I started the project at the end of August, I was doing an unpaid internshop at a corporate job. It drained me both mentally and physically and I was at a pretty low point. I couldn’t quit because the internship was pretty much essential and would significantly improve my chances at getting into my dream university in the US which I was completing my application for.
Now, I’ve done origami as a hobby for years and my go-to way of satisfying my stupid ADHD brain is by making little scraps of paper into, more often than not, origami cranes. I’ve known about the myth of folding 1000 cranes and how it would grant you one wish to come true for a while, and somehow, even though I’ve never been superstitious or religious, I’ve always thought that in a moment of need, that was the one thing that would work.
And so, sitting there and rotting away behind my desk, I was fiddling with sticky notes and I had an idea. If I kept myself from losing my mind through by folding a thousand sticky note paper cranes, maybe my wish of university would come true and this hellish internship would make it all worth it. Also, being Asian is an important part of my identity, I have a lot of respect for my Japanese relatives and I think that for me, especially given the fact that I'm an immigrant, keeping in touch with your heritage is important.
I submitted my early decision application last week and am currently sitting in my own nerves waiting for the response. I've dreamed of going back to the US to study for as long as I can remember, so this is really big deal for me, and I know that at the end of the day, folding paper probably won't sway the admissions officers' minds, but I'd be lying if it I said it didn't give me a little bit of hope.
Anyway, sorry for that very rambly post, but I felt that maybe sharing the reasoning would help me hold myself a little bit more accountable to finish this.
Let's do this!

I've been trying to stay out of the canon/fanon conversation just bc it's such a large topic with far too many perspectives, angles, misc source materials, and personal tastes to take into account when I'm just a casual content maker/enjoyer.
Reading all this though... I can't help but think there's some parasocial perceptions going on with many askers, where they feel like they're engaging in polite debate/discussion with someone they know in order to understand better/explain their own stance in a friendly manner. But... on the other side, receiving these asks from literal total strangers definitely would feel like they're forcing opinions on you, or criticizing your own tastes or just being needlessly rude in one way or another (And god I hope that's not me, but I won't assume I've never done it. Or if I'm even doing it with this ask. I'm sorry if I have!).
Regardless, I'm assuming none of these asks are in bad faith, but I can imagine receiving and responding to them is stressful! I really hope that despite it you're doing good overall and also having fun on the actual writing prompts sent to you, because I've been enjoying reading them! Hopefully the discussion clears up and it's a smooth commute forward to something more fun, especially for yourself👍

You always have such insightful takes Stove Anon ;w; And I totally agree with you that it’s a really large topic of conversation that’s hard to convey when the format is ask-response, I don’t blame you for trying to stay out of it (if it wasn’t happening on my blog I would have stayed out of it too orz).
That is a really excellent way of putting it and honestly probably what is going on!! If this were a group chat/server or a conversation amongst friends in person, I definitely would feel less stressed and on the defensive with talking about this. Heck, I have some classmates who have played PLA and we engage in open discussions like this often (hi hello and goodmorning if you guys are reading this XD). The convo also being all text based doesn’t help, since I can’t read tone of words and my brain will actively interpret certain phrasing as being negative while that might not be what the asker intended! Plus the fact that it’s really a 1 v However Many type of conversation where I’m the main conduit where all of the points are being directed at since—like I mentioned—it’s an ask-response thread happening.
I’d like to think that the asks aren’t being sent in bad faith too!! Even if I am stressed out and anxious, I try to engage like they’re in good faith.
I am having fun on the prompts for the fic requests! I hope to get more out tonight and maybe whittle down the count XD You are so sweet as always Stove Anon ❤️
