Hi, your metas are super interesting, and even if I really enjoy fanon twilight, it's really cool to read opinions based only on canon too!

So my question is about the sexual orientation of the Cullens, do you think they all straight?

For example i saw someone saying that Edward maybe was demisexual and it left me thinking, so i just wanted to know your opinions about it :)

In short, no.

In alphabetical order:

Alice is with a man, but without getting into the mess that is Alice/Jasper here, I don’t think theirs is a particularly physical relationship. I mean, if Alice wanted to get laid, she could just decide to fuck Jasper, enjoy the vision, and bam. Itch scratched. Thanks, Jazz. Alright, I’ll be serious. Alice and Jasper are with each other because the other represents salvation, not so much because of a personal or physical attraction but because of mysticism. So to me that doesn’t really say much about Alice’s preference. All the same I can’t see Alice having a particular preference, she’s too... Alice. Although it is easier to picture her with women. She is also the second half of the Alice/Bella homoerotic extravaganza, which makes heterosexual Alice even more farfetched to me. So, bisexual or lesbian Alice.

Bella shows clear attraction to women as well as men. She’s attracted to Rosalie, Alice, Edward, and Carlisle. I’ll just give you guys quotes: Of the three boys, one was big — muscled like a serious weight lifter, with dark, curly hair. Another was taller, leaner, but still muscular, and honey blond. The last was lanky, less bulky, with untidy, bronze-colored hair. He was more boyish than the others, who looked like they could be in college, or even teachers here rather than students. The girls were opposites. The tall one was statuesque. She had a beautiful figure, the kind you saw on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, the kind that made every girl around her take a hit on her self-esteem just by being in the same room. Her hair was golden, gently waving to the middle of her back. The short girl was pixielike, thin in the extreme, with small features. Her hair was a deep black, cropped short and pointing in every direction. (Twilight, page 9) This is the Cullens’ introduction. I won’t spend much time on it, just notice the difference between Rosalie and the others. Rosalie is highlighted in a way Alice is not, and Edward is at first glance only the boyish one of the guys. Rosalie was the Cullen whose beauty immediately stood out to Bella. It was hard to decide who was the most beautiful — maybe the perfect blond girl, or the bronze-haired boy. (sic.) Bella has realized by now that Edward’s a grade A hottie, but she’s still torn between him and Rosalie. Bella then gets to know Alice, and they become friends who take showers together(!). Rosalie may be the most attractive Cullen woman, but Alice is the one Bella gets emotionally close to. We get this in New Moon: UNNATURALLY STILL AND WHITE, WITH LARGE BLACK EYES intent on my face, my visitor waited perfectly motionless in the center of the halt, beautiful beyond imagining. (...) I locked my arms around her, gasping to inhale as much of the scent of her skin as possible. It wasn't like anything else—not floral or spice, citrus or musk. No perfume in the world could compare. My memory hadn't done it justice. (New Moon, page 191) Bella never thought she’d never see any of the Cullens again, so for her to be hysterical and ecstatic upon seeing her second favorite is not by itself damning. I’m sure she’d be ecstatic to see Emmett too. It’s that fact that she’d missed Alice’s scent that’s interesting. The scent of her skin was something Bella was aware of before they parted. And while it may be tempting to say “it’s because they’re vampires, Bella’s admiring them like she would a work of art!”, Bella never dwells on Esme, Jasper, or Emmett in this way. Jasper and Emmett especially are not admired beyond the introduction of their characters. We never hear about what any of them smell like, nor does Bella remark upon their beauty after waking up a vampire. Carlisle and Edward, by comparison, are men she keeps noticing. Bella finds Carlisle blindingly beautiful when she first sees him as a vampire, and there’s this from New Moon: Though it erased the sting, it reminded me of the gash, and I watched Carlisle's face carefully to distract me from what his hands were doing. His hair gleamed gold in the bright light as he bent over my arm. (New Moon, page 18) There’s thinking someone is pretty, and then there’s gazing lovingly upon their face instead of pain killers. Bella is bisexual.

Carlisle moved in with a very gay man, had a close relationship with him, lived with him for the sake of his company for decades, and only left because of dietary differences. We don’t know for sure whether they actually had an affair or not, but the fact remains that of all the Cullens, Carlisle is the one who is implied to have had a homosexual relationship in canon. He loses his straight card based on that alone. Also gonna link this clip, because I’m Mac listening to Edward talk about how young Carlisle lived with this sexy Mycenaean Greek for a few decades when he was young. Aro is all the santas. Carlisle is bisexual.

Edward... oh boy. His brain is supposedly seventeen, and yet this very interesting thing happens in his relationship with Bella where he never notices her body. Not ever. By body I mean curves. Edward notices Bella’s skin, her frailty, her humanity. He praises her blushes, her doe-like eyes, her warmth, her softness, her swan-like neck, her delicious scent. The feminine aesthetic. He does not once notice her tits. The only tits he is on record noticing belong to Siobhan, and it’s because she has an impossible to ignore rack: She was profoundly female in shape—aggressively, forcefully female. (Midnight Sun, chapter Probability) It’s one thing for him to be old-fashioned and too quintessentially Edward to even think the word “boob”, but in 700+ pages of Midnight Sun there’s just this absence of this seventeen-year-old noticing her curves. More damningly, when seeing Alice’s vision of vampire!Bella, Edward is horrified at the sight of his love cold and hard. He doesn’t describe vampire!Bella by any of the positives, like “flawless”. Edward is attracted to the human, not the woman. What that means for his sexuality... well, I’m going to go ahead and point out that he is very weird about Carlisle, and it’s damning that the personality he projects onto Bella is so similar to Carlisle. I hesitate to apply a label here, but in my own, personal, headcanon we’re veering towards homosexual. Deeeeeeply closeted homosexual.

Emmett is straight. Straightest guy ever to straight.

Esme is pretty clearly taken with Carlisle. Though if she were to feel attracted towards another woman, I imagine she’d have no idea what to make of that, if she even recognized it for what it was. She’s from a very different time and still living in that time, and she continues to be very sheltered. Still, as per my personal headcanon, I see her as straight.

Jasper, who knows. Though if he’s into guys, he has probably gone for it in the past. I suppose I should write a meta on vampires and sexual norms in general, but in short I don’t think they all live monogamously like the Cullens. STDs and pregnancies are unheard of, as is social ostracizing. Vampires are hedonistic, Twilight vampires more so than any other. Which in turn means I don’t think Maria and Jasper were monogamous. A couple, sure, but I don’t think Maria would say “oh noes, I can’t, I’m with Jasper!” if someone she was attracted to made an overture, and same goes for Jasper. So, if Jasper was into guys, then sure. I can see Jasper/Peter happening, or even Charlotte/Jasper/Peter. Jasper is certainly into women, with the possibility of guys as well. And if so, then it’s probably happened.

Rosalie I’m shocked is with a guy in the first place, everything about her screams lesbian. However, she’s clearly into Emmett, so apparently she’s bisexual.

(I’m not including Renesmée in this, since she’s three months old by the time the series conclude.)

This all being said, several of these people are from very different times and wouldn’t have the same concepts of sexuality internalized as we do, so how they’d identify is a very different matter.

I Am Not Starfire, And That's Okay

I recently read I Am Not Starfire and I had lots of thoughts, which are under the cut. It is spoiler-heavy and an analysis of the main character, who I find to be a charming, flawed, and incredibly human character.

Mandy is a fascinating character and a great look at a teenage girl who feels ostracized by the people around her and who feels disconnected from her parent. Mandy is by no means flawless, and that's what makes her very interesting. It also makes her relatable.

Mandy starts by talking about how she's noticeably different from her mom, being the "Anti-Starfire". She's a regular kid, can't fly, and doesn't own a swimsuit, while her mom is a superhero, can fly, and always wears bikinis.

On page 11 she mentions "her mom hasn't liked how I looked since I was twelve. She wears less than a yard of fabric every day, yet somehow, I'm the one who's dressing weird". While I understand people who call this slut-shaming, and I'm inclined to agree, but I think it's a little more nuanced than that. The next page reads, "My friend Lincoln convinced me this is the cultural divide that happens between family generations born in different countries or universes. His parents were born in Vietnam." This tells me that the authors intended to point out the difference in dress more as another difference between Starfire and Mandy, and less as a reason to blatantly slut-shame Starfire. I think there's absolutely a conversation to be had about why the authors decided to use this language instead of conveying the point differently. I also think it speaks to how Starfire has more or less been sexualized from inception, and how people look down upon her character because of that. In the context of this book, though, it's one of Mandy's character flaws that I think fits her both as a character and reflects what I've seen from actual teenage girls. Our society coaches us to view women who dress a certain way as less than women who don't and unlearning that takes time and effort. I don't think this comment about her mom should have been put in there by the authors, but I do think it fits in with the values American society in particular teaches about women.

Page 15, 16, and 17 all point to a far more complicated state of existence than Mandy points out within the first few pages. For one thing, Mandy has to deal with people who love her mother and only want to use her to get information about her mom and the other teen titans. This is shown by the "Titan groupies" who ask her to tell Starfire what they say about her. Another thing she has to deal with is the expectation to be a superhero and have powers like her mom, and the questions about who her dad might be. She gains her first real friend, Lincoln, because he tells the people asking about her parentage that they are assholes.

It is revealed that Mandy has a crush on Claire after she gets assigned a group project with her. Mandy is in denial over the crush. She thinks about the fact she's meeting Mandy at the end of the day throughout the rest of the school day, causing her to explode something in Chemistry Class. I find this to be highly relatable and gives her character a softer side to the edginess she desperately tries to portray herself as.

While talking about the project with Claire, it is revealed that Mandy ran out of her SATs and didn't complete them. While Mandy tries to paint this as a cool badass moment, the way the comic artist portrays the scene makes me think Mandy had an anxiety attack. Mandy didn't run out of her SAT because she's some kind of alternative badass who doesn't need to take them. Mandy ran out because she got overwhelmed by the sounds of people chewing and the pressure of the test. While she frames it differently, it's clear to me that Mandy is avoiding taking the SAT again because she doesn't want that to happen again.

When Claire invites her to hang out with her friends, Mandy gets treated like she isn't there, or as some kind of unwanted outsider. The topics they discuss seem to be specifically made to make Mandy uncomfortable, like mentioning how stretchy jeans are only made for fat people, and asking if aliens don't go to college. Jaded by this, Mandy makes up that aliens actually have to go through this huge blood right and battle to the death, but tells Claire's two friends she was joking before leaving. This tells me that Mandy deflects her pain by using humor to cope and has no issue clowning on people who are trying to belittle her for being an alien.

Starfire tries to bring up going to college after this, and Mandy just flees to her room. She hasn't told her mom she didn't take the SAT yet or that she isn't going to college. She feels distant from her mom, which is explained further through a montage of birthdays where she never got her powers. Her mom expects a lot from her, and Mandy thinks Starfire is disappointed about her lack of powers.

Later, Mandy invites Claire over to her house to complete the project they are working on. The Titans are still there when Claire arrives, but she seems to ignore them, as they leave shortly after. Mandy and Claire bond as they continue the project. Mandy reveals to the reader that she's never had a girlfriend, except for one time at sleep-away camp where she kind of dated a girl for four weeks. She didn't tell her who her mom was because she was tired of living in the shadow of a superhero. But the relationship ended because Mandy had lied about who her mom was, and the girl she was dating didn't understand why she would lie. I think this really shows just how much Mandy actually wants to be a normal girl like everyone else, to the extent that she'd lie about who her mom was. Her edgy demeanor at school and around town where her mom is known to be her mom is a defense mechanism to having lived under the shadow of a superhero her entire life.

When it's revealed that Claire took a photo with the Titans at Mandy's house, Mandy is understandable heartbroken, and furious. She thought she had been making a real connection with Claire, but this photo makes her think she's been used, again. Claire seems genuinely baffled by Mandy's reaction to this, thinking little of it. But to Mandy, it is a breach of trust from someone she thought cared about her. I think her angry reaction to Claire makes sense because of this, even if it might have been disproportionate to the offense.

On top of this, Starfire has discovered that Mandy walked out of the SAT and doesn't plan to go to college. After a heated conversation, she runs away, but her mom finds her. And then Blackfire finds her. Turns out the fake story she told Claire's friends earlier in the story was actually true, even though Mandy didn't know it.

Since Claire actually cares about Mandy, she tracks down Lincoln who explains to her why Mandy reacted badly, and that she should probably apologize for taking the photo. Claire also admits that one of the friends from earlier, Deb, actually dared her to take the photo. Claire is a good person at heart, but this action shows that she can still be influenced to do something that would hurt another person. And while she might not have known it would hurt Mandy, Deb probably did.

Starfire and Blackfire fight since Mandy has no powers, but Starfire gets injured causing Mandy to realize just how much she loves and cares about her mom, even though they don't see eye to eye on most things. This finally unlocks her powers, as she's let go of most of the resentment she's held against her mom. She even gets asked for an autograph by someone in the audience after the battle.

The story ends with Mandy training her powers, studying for the SAT, and reconciling with Claire, sharing a kiss, and becoming girlfriends.

I've seen a lot of discourse that frames Mandy as being "not like other girls". I don't believe this framing actually fits Mandy very well. The only girl Mandy ever says she is not like explicitly is her mom. She is the only woman she compares herself too, and the only person who she seems to have a lot of resentment for, aside from people who use her to get to Starfire. Additionally, Mandy falls for someone who is what a stereotypical, normal popular girl is often portrayed as. She's preppy, wears makeup, gets good grades, has friends, and runs a fairly popular Instagram account. If Mandy was extremely into the "Not like other girls" rhetoric, she would've made fun of Claire for all those things. Instead, she admires her for them. Mandy is fat, has acne/freckles, dresses goth, and wears a nose ring. If this is the reason people are identifying her as a "Not like other girls" girl, then they don't understand that trope. Simply dressing differently from your peers, being fat, and hating your mom does not make her the "not like other girls" trope. It actually makes her like other, real-life girls who dress and act similarly, because that's who they are, not because they somehow think they are better than other women.

I'd also make the argument that, fundamentally, Mandy IS different from other girls on the account of having a superhero mother and potentially a superhero father. Her life is completely altered by Starfire's existence as her mom and is likely only relatable to the children of other superheroes and celebrities. She is not like other girls because of her mom, and that still doesn't make her someone who falls in line with the conception of being "not like other girls".

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope others do too. I read Mandy as a flawed character who was trying to figure out how to exist outside the Shadow of her mom- and eventually succeeds, by learning to embrace her mom. I would've preferred if Mandy had a slightly darker skin tone, as her features seem black-coded to me and Starfire is also often black-coded. Otherwise, I do think this was one of the best DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults I've read, alongside Teen Titans: Beast Boy and Teen Titans: Raven.

sorry idk how to do read mores on mobile apparently you all have to suffer through this

this one comes in a buyable set so the pic is nice but anyway (: [spring/summer/fall/winter]

i wont compare these much to the renewal versions but i will say.. the renewals do look better <3 i do like the outfits for the most part!! the summer miku going for swimwear is actually cute i think it's a cute outfit & I usually hate swimsuit figs but this one might get a pass. winter is cute but shes angled down too much + autumn i dont care for really her waist is super skinny though and shes angled/twisted weird.. i have nothing bad to say about the spring one <3

i give this a 6/10 (6.25/10, highest ranking is spring + lowest is autumn)

[top: winter/fall , bottom: spring/summer] sorry im too stupid to put things in order + there are alt colors for these but who cares

these i think are a better looking line than the first they're a lot more dynamic and just really cute. fall has an upskirting problem which is my biggest issue it's really gross i saw it in an unboxing vid which is ): bc i think her fall one is otherwise really cute. Winter is my fav improvement and im not just saying that bc i own/won her -_- i really like the black leggings + her skirt is really cute and shes actually looking up. Spring is still suuuuper cute i love how big and bright her eyes are, i honestly dont know if i prefer the renewed pink or the original dark but they're both cute i really like the outfit tbh.. and i have nothing new to say about summer miku. these all except spring mostly loss the hair gradience which i dont think is bad i really like the colors

this set gets a 7/10, better than the original but i was really excited for the fall and it let me down (7.25/10 ♡winter/spring, Xfall)

THIS SET IS SUPER CUTE they went for holiday themes which is nice + besides spring i think these are so so so good!! spring is a really tacky bunny outfit and it's too revealing imo.. i think if they changed her top it would be much cuter but it being how it is i simply would not want to own her. i looove how round winter is esp what they did w the hair she just looks so friendly i love the halo too it just has a nice chunky feel to it [: fall well i do love witch mikus and this one is just really cute i love the face model they used shes just really excellent i loove it.. summer is also really cool a lot of summer themes go for beach but i love the festival theme her outfit is very fun and cute and nice

7/10 major point loss for spring though (♡autumn(but the other 2 are really good too), X spring)

incomplete set i couldnt find a marked 3rd season winter but this is like a currently running set so idk anyway*

i like the pink gradience in this springs hair more than the "original clothes" set it's cute also a fairy is just a cute choice at first when i saw her i was kind of put off but seeing the actual figure she looks really good i really love the hair buns and her dress is cute overall just very nice (: i really really love this autumn one the pose and outfit are super cute and i liked the toned down hair color her shoes are cute the leaves are cute just a very cute autumn design her bangs are super detailed but that's okay ig it doesnt tale much away. summer i very much despise it's similar to the 2nd season spring where i would just now own this and i think swimsuit figures are just gross to begin with i think the majority of people who own this summer miku are freaks tbh.. she has like a double swimsuit thing going on which idrc for the top but the bottom is just gross and bad and the garter or whatever on her thigh is just bad i think if she had her hoodie zipped up or something that would be fine i like the shoes and miku tube but that's about it her face isnt very cute and idk if i like the green fade in in her hair i get it's like the ocean but its :/

this gets like a 6/10 major points off for summer miku

also idk if this is just a standalone taito winter fig or if its supposed to go w the 3rd season set anyway i own a plush version of this one the outfit is kind of very tacky but its mostly cute ig i like the hair ribbons um that's about it ig this one doesnt evoke much in me tbh

#text tag #i saw someone rank racing mikus oncd and that was . well racing miku.#long post #fig talk

Q1. What kind of swimsuit or yukata do you like for a girl to wear?

Q2. During the date, which do you prefer: holding hands or linking arms?

Q3. In what percentage each do you consider outer and inner side of someone is important?

Katayose Ryota

A1. Appearance in swimsuit is nice, I guess~! Any design will be great for me.

A2. I prefer holding hands.

A3. 50:50. Someone with tidy, adult-like outer appearance and bright personality is good.

The time when I think someone attracts my interests... it often starts with "scent". When someone has nice scents, I think I get to like her a little bit (laugh). Scent of perfume might be left in the air, and I'm a type who can be attracted with things like, "Ah, what is this... this drifting feeling!". Like a person with refreshing scent... Well, it's not that I would sniff it though, but there's a moment when a nice scent waft around, isn't it! Maybe that kind of moment would make my heart throb. If I dated someone in reality, I think a relationship where "we can both do our best in our job" is nice. It might not be a job though, it could be something she whole-heartedly devotes herself to, and conversely, in times when she felt troubled, I want to do my best to encourage her, so we could enhance each other. When she felt down/depressed, I have to support her so that she could feel positive.

If it's about going for a date in summer, as expected, a place where we can see the sea is nice. Staying in a ryokan (Japanese-style lodging) which has private feeling, in a room with open-air bath, then from that open-air bath, we could see the sea... it would be good, wouldn't it? Then, I also want us to drink delicious alchohol together. If she came to my place, I would show her hospitality. I'd ask her what she wanted to drink, I'd gather things she would seemingly like and asked her to choose, "What do you want to do?"... I'd like to try that kind of house-date. It seems fun~

Shirahama Alan

A1. I like swimsuit from sports brand! High-waist type is also good.

A2. I want her to lay her hands on my arms!

A3. 40% for outer appearance and 60% for inner side. The last thing to begin with is the face.

My mother is a foreginer, so in my family, we're being relatively straight when it comes to expressing our feelings. That's why I might be like that too, if I had to express my feelings toward someone I like, perhaps I'd do it precisely. I also want us to communicate frequently, so I'd replied quickly (to her messages/call)! However, if we're going out for a date, I'd be really embarassed to hold hands (laugh). For me, compared to linking arms, holding hands has a kinda higher hurdle, so if we had to walk together, perhaps I'd ask her to lay her hands on my arms instead...

For me, the most ideal love story is when someone can get married to the first person he/she has dated since junior or senior high school times. It's already impossible for me though, but still, I think it's a wonderful thing. Bearing that in mind, my love philosophy has never changed from the start, so when I got myself a girlfriend, I have to be able to support/provide for her and it would be bad if I couldn't take a good care of her... I came to think that way. Marriage is still far ahead in the future for me, but as a man, I don't want to just go out for a date. I feel that I must be able to be a support in her life. Being able to think like that, I think my way of thinking is getting matured a little bit! The kind of outer appearance which I like is changing a bit too. Before, I always thought that a girl with black hair was gorgeous, but recently, I think stylish hair with gradation in colour is attractive too.

If I got a girlfriend, I'd like to introduce her properly to the members. I think everyone would give real comments, so they might say things like, "You better stop (going out with her)~ (laugh)" casually (laugh).

Kazuhara Ryuto

A1. Is it called tube-top? I like that one. I would think like where she stayed (if I saw someone wearing that) (laugh)

A2. I'd like to walk as we hold each other's hands.

A3. It's 50% - 50% (laugh). It's a safe answer though.

Speaking about love, I'm a cautious type who always tries to read the atmosphere. Perhaps until I could be sure that she liked me too, I wouldn't really take any action... If I dated someone, as for things like our communication frequency, I'd match it with her. I think a girl basically has selfish side, so it's a man's duty to tolerate that. As a boyfriend, I would really do anything for her! Waking her up in the morning, cooking for her, drying her hair! I like doing things like that!

It might be a bit bothersome when I'm tired though... However, if she saw a cockroach and then she contacted me, asked me to exterminate it, I wouldn't do it (laugh)! Right away, I would search in Google, "exterminate cockroach"! No, I should ask someone instead... Well, I would go for it though, but perhaps I would be just as noisy as her. Saying things like, "Yabai, yabai" (laugh).

Speaking about our job, since it's a job with intense ups and downs, and there will be lots of times when we are not in Japan, I think it wouldn't be easy for me to grant what she wanted when she asked... That's why she needs to have great patience. And since it might be something painful for a girl, in times when we could be together, I'd do anything I could for her. I think it would be good if I could have a love relationship where I could keep her from feeling lonely. Before, I hate it when my own time got disturbed, I felt that I didn't want someone to meddle with me, but as I became an adult, I realized the importance to take my man-side a step backward.

Nakatsuka Yuta

A1. As for yukata, I always like light blue color. And I also like black cloth with patterns. Then, with bun-styled hair, it will be the greatest combination!

A2. I prefer holding hands! But if I saw people linking arms, perhaps I would change my mind...?

A3. 50:50. I like someone with tidy, adult-like outer appearance and has a bright personality inside.

Since I'm shy toward strangers and never experienced love-at-the-first sight, I'm a type who starts from being friends and then gradually thinks, "Ah, perhaps I like her". It's like we doesn't force ourselves and can be together just naturally, someone who's down-to-earth is wonderful. When she made weird face so that her eyes look white, I would conversely think she's cute (laugh)! I'm a shy person, but though I might not be a type who would chase her, I would express my affection once we're already dating. For example, the word "suki" (like), I would properly express what I feel in words and I'd like to tell her that once everyday.

Lately, I didn't go afar at all, I'm just busy with my sewing machine making clothes (and giving them as presents for the members too!), and also playing water with my pet hedgehog Milo (female) as I said, "It's time to go for a bath" (laugh), so I'm pretty much an indoor type. But if I had to go for a date in the summer, as expected, it would be fireworks, I guess...

Sekiguchi Mandy

A1. Since I don't understand swimsuit fashion, it's OK if it suits her, and I want the color to be matched for the top and bottom.

A2. I prefer linking arms. Because my hands sweat easily (laugh).

A3. It's such a malicious question (laugh)! But perhaps it's 70% for the inner side and 30% for outer appearance. I think there are many people who has good personality and cute outer appearance as well!

I never experienced love-at-the-first-sight... but if I got to like someone, I want to chase her! I don't really have any things I dislike about love though, but I'm kinda interested on someone whose cellphone's screen has lots of cracks on it (laugh). I can understand if there's little cracks on it, since mine has cracks too. But if there are lots of it, it's kinda... It'd make me worried like, "Isn't the gap too much?" (laugh).

Since I'm pretty much an active person, someone who can go together with me to the places I want to go, someone who can have fun even in the place she doesn't know and has kinda high tension is the best for me. Like going to Hawaiian's Water Slider, seems like we could enjoy such an active date! Then we would sometimes have a fight... Though it's not a jet-coaster, I think a kind of love which has few waves and time to think about it after that is kinda nice. I came to think that way.

Sano Reo

A1. As for yukata, ordinary type like black one is good. As for swimsuit, the one which is not flashy is good!

A2. Both is okay for me. But as for my hands, my fingers are fat so they're kinda chubby?

A3. 50:50. Outer appearance is reflected in inner part, and unexpectedly, inner part is also reflected in outer appearance.

A4. Mandy-san. We're together 5 days in a week. He might be the oldest, but he can't do anything when I'm not around (laugh).

A5. I like everyone a lot as a man, but if I were a girl, I'd hate everyone (laugh).

If there's someone who attracts my interest, I'm a type who will wait until she likes me back. I never experienced love-at-the-first-sight, and since I'm a type that will like someone after I know about her completely, the process from knowing her to going out with her will really take a lot of time (laugh). If I got someone to go out with in reality, I would introduce her to Mandy-kun. Seems like he would be like, "Hey, it's good, isn't it~" or "She's cute~" (laugh) (Reo imitates Mandy's voice while saying this). If we went out in the summer, it would be ideal to have a leisure date. With refreshing appearance, I'd like to go out to shopping mall, taking our time as we went shopping around, having lunch in the foodcourt, watching movies... things like that. Since I'm not a romantic person, I'd like to feel ordinary happiness, and someone who could share the same feeling is good. It's ideal if we could always be together, and even without exchanging words, we could have nice atmosphere. And on anniversary day, preparing for it with high spirits, handing her a wrapped present along with a flower bouquet... I'm not a type of person who would do that. So don't expect me to do that (laugh). Sometimes buying matching items, telling her that I wanted her to wear it so that I bought it... I think that kind of love which I can be relax about and enjoy suits my nature.

A1. If it's swimsuit for my girlfriend, I'd like the conservative one. If it's not for my girlfriend, I'd like the flashy one! It's good for my eyes (laugh)

A2. I prefer holding hands! But I'm a fast-walker, so it would be difficult in the middle I guess.

A3. It's not a dorama though, but perhaps it's like, "A person is 100% her appearance!" (laugh)

A4. Yuta-kun and Reo. If it's hanging out with just two persons, it will be Alan-kun.

A5. Yuta-kun. Because the sense of "being loved" he has is similar to mine (laugh).

To value a love relationship, it's about flattering a girl, in a good meaning. I'm a type that would immediately say "Sorry!" if she got mad. I'd also buy lots of presents even though it's not our anniversary day. With feeling like, "When I went out shopping today, this seems good for you so I bought it", I want to have a kind of "anniversary-day-though-there's-nothing-particular-happens". If it's about marriage... I'd like to do it after dating for 7-8 years! To be enthusiastic about marriage, I don't like that. For me, it's ideal when we had always been together, and then as we realized, it's already like 10 years passing, so we felt like, "Let's get married then". To feel that way without getting too excited is ideal. It was different before though, but recently, as I became an adult and get calmer, I feel that as expected what's ideal is different from the reality (laugh).

Inner part is of course important, but outer appearance is also important to some extent. By the way, recently I found in the book I read that for people who consider outward appearance as something important, the divorce rate seems kinda low. Since I always read books about neuroscience and psychology when I have time, the members are always kinda amazed and say stuffs like, "Hayato is really girl-like!" (laugh).
