@asiandramanet creator bingo — lgbtq+ rep — kodama sakuko (aromantic asexual) | koisenu futari (2022)

It's okay not to decide everything. We can put everything— ourselves, our family, as "subject to change". When we put something in words, we get bound by it. Just like us not wanting to get bound by the "normal" defined by those around us. The things we hold important and our ways of thinking keep changing continuously. So we can think about the best in that particular moment. If, at that time, our best is completely different, and things don't work out even after talking... then we don't need to force ourselves to remain as a family. If that happens. We don't have to think about that just yet.

[takahashi version]

Friendly reminder that there's a Koisenu Futari book for sale! It's only written in japanese, but I would consider buying it anyway to support the series if you can! Especially since the series isn't watchable through any official release for those outside of Japan!

If you can read japanese, or are simply curious, the book has been said to be written from both Sakuko and Takahashi's point of view!

I'm buying it myself, to support the series, to have an actual japanese aro-ace book and not just english books, and also to have a nice cover picture of Sakuko, Takahashi, and cabbages!

[ID: The cover image, digital art of Takahashi Satoru on the left and Kodama Sakuko on the right. They are both looking forward with neutral expressions, and their hands are holding a cabbage together. The background is yellow and in japanese it reads "Koisenu Futari" written by Erika Yoshida, who is the script writer for the series. End ID]

Links to buy:

Takahashi Satoru: I say whatever, don't care that I've never. No, never been in love.

Still brainrotting over this drama so I made clips edit. Cabbage-man, he's such a mood, haha! Also posted this video on Twitter!

my personal hot take of the day is that you cannot fully appreciate ten if you don't also appreciate martha and the dynamic they have

#ten's trait of always expecting to be alone in the end but still craving connection more than anything #and that leading to fucking disastrous results bc he can't reconcile these two parts of him #is EXEMPLIFIED in his dynamic w martha. you do not see it w rose you only see it like twice w donna #and imo it's one of the most interesting and honestly relatable things about his character #dr who #10 era #ten and martha #when i watched series 3 i didn't see someone who couldn't love someone else i saw someone #that falls in love (/platonic) SO quickly and SO easily and needs to be around people SO bad it actively scares him #btw the converse of this statement is not necessarily true shoutout to all the people who don't actually care for anything in rtd era #except for martha. keep having valid & true opinions in life like that you guys

Two of my favorite little scenes from BTTF part II are the moments where Marty stops to watch his parents in 1955. I mean, he was only just there living through those events one day prior, but he didn't actually have a chance to soak any of it in or process it. (He'd come flailing into the parking lot just after George punched Biff but hardly had time to appreciate any of it on account of his picture still fading, and then at the dance, he was. You know. Actively being erased from existence up there on stage for a while.)

Even though the stakes are still unbelievably high when he returns to '55 to try to track down the almanac, and he's just experienced what may be the most stressful and terrifying day of his life with all the 1985A nonsense, he makes it a point to slow down enough to watch his parents at the dance. And there's just this look on his face—a mixture of awe and relief and happiness. You can tell. You can tell this is getting permanently etched into Marty's memory. He's taking in every detail. He's holding tightly to these sweet moments of watching his parents (who had been unhappily married most of or all of his life) FALL IN LOVE. A real, true love that he's never had a chance to see them in before.

Not to mention the fact that in the reality he'd just arrived from, his mother had been forced into marriage with Biff, and his father was dead. Marty's just come from a place where his family had been completely destroyed, and now he's watching the very foundation of it coming together. This is the beginning of it all, and it's a reminder of what he's trying so hard to save and get back to.

And it's so very nice that we see him hitting the pause button for a few seconds in this chaos-fest to look at his mom and dad with such love.

#marty mcfly #back to the future #bttf #look at him #the boy loves his parents #there are also other thoughts i can't quite clearly articulate #about what Marty's perception of love and marriage might have been like after being raised by his Twin Pines parents #because I can't imagine that years of seeing two unhappy people who cannot emotionally connect wouldn't skew his feelings in some way #and maybe lay shaky groundwork for what he believes a marriage should look like #but then he gets to time travel and see his mom and dad fall completely & truly in love #a love that he can see and feel the depth of that night at the dance #(and that then carries over into the new timeline)#and so i wonder how that impacted him. or how it might have helped him with issues he wasn't even aware he had #anyway. i'm just going on a rambling in the tags #*hugging Marty tightly*

I freaking love your au and your latest comic because MAN

I FELT THOSE LAST WORDS AND I WAS LIKE "OH FUCK"

First panel was already a bit unsettling itself - like you get it's just intimate manners as you do as a couple but he felt so possessive already and

Sunny's inner thoughts

I'm sure 100% his abandonment anxiety will increase drastically the more he stays with nick and honestly slay

I mean it's kinda obvious

But like I felt that

Yeah

Nick is unhinged

Nick is crazy

Y'all are gay for him

Good 😵💥

Sunny has soooo many issues. So many of them. He's so vulnerable and he makes himself vulnerable to Nick while still being intimidated by him, it's... Dude's got some problems.

#ive talked about mental illness and nick before but not sunny...#well. only a bit. ive said sunny's autistic #but he's also got other problems-- such as abandonment issues as you said #sunny's very insecure in relationships - partly because he has a very limited experience with them #and partly because he has self image issues.#when you grow up as an undiagnosed autistic kid you tend to be very aware you're different while not knowing how to change it #everyone thinks and says you're weird but you have no idea what's weird about you so you can't even try to fit in #a friend of mine told me once that she thought i was so brave for not being scared of being different in middle school #i wasn't. i wasn't brave. i just had no idea why people thought i was weird #sunny in this au knows how deeply different he is from other people but he doesn't know /what/ makes him different or how to change it #and as a result he just doesn't open up very much. he's very reserved and doesnt talk to many people. he has like two friends total #which also conviently makes him easy for nick to isolate #sunny also has bpd! and he gets deeply attached to people who show him any kind of affection very easily #as i mentioned before he also tends to fall for people who intimidate or scare him -- people he sees as mentally superior to him #his self image is constantly oscilliating between 'im the greatest person to have ever lived' and 'im the worst thing to have ever existed'#he's extremely unstable. he has mood swings. he gets obsessive easily. he seeks out relationships with mostly toxic or older people #he doesn't have a good support system. he's socially anxious and an introvert. he's openly trans. most people think he's weird.#he has no stable sense of self. he has panic attacks. he's both hypervigilant and oblivious to lies and attempts at manipulation #all of this makes him a very easy target for someone like nick.#at least- at /least/-- nick genuinely loves him.#ask #tosteur-gluteal #rant #arsenic #i start talking about psychology and i get lost. my apologies

“wow it’s past 2 am i should probably go to slee“ Wrong. Lucas Mother 3.

and thus i spent the following five hours thinking about that sweet spring child unable to even stay in bed because of how normal i feel about him, pulling what some may call an all-nighter just because he came into my mind for like two miliseconds

#you know how normal i feel about gabe?#well i feel ten times more normal about Lucas #can't even draw anything to illustrate it like fr #fucking hilarious that the two blorbos that have rotten/been rotting my brain the most have like. normal people names #archangel realizing the lie he's been told and perpetrated while also coming out of the closet being named like a guy you'd talk to at uni #vs #child who has gone through what is considered some of the most brutal hardships within his publisher's catalog (Palu's guidance says so)#while also having a name that's been consistently in the top 10 given boy names in the country i live in for the past like 20 years #can't make this shit up #some of this is also caused by not having any sort of medicine that actually makes me fall asleep soooo #love it <333 #hb talks

there's such a jarring difference in watching dating reality tv when you're single vs in a healthy relationship

when i was single i watched it almost as an exposure therapy to people being vulnerable and performing romantic gestures, and while i had many moments of "no! that is not how we communicate with our partners!" and awareness of the hilariously compressed timelines of these shows, i was not overwhelmed in cringe

now, while i don't have any more romantic experience than the people in these shows (tho i may have plenty more communicating-in-healthy-ways experience), the romantic performance is thrillingly novel, the vulnerability is alarmingly rushed, and it's overall not as interesting to watch

#potential other thing is love is blind isn't as good as it was the first season or two #but that doesn't seem likely i think this was always beautifully gilded trash tv #about people who can't communicate effectively in no small part bc of the demands of filming #and getting engaged in ten days and married a month later #anyway i was super bored and thought i'd give myself a lil girls night by myself w/ my stuffed animal pabo #and watched ep 1 from the new season #and i was excited to see some mid-30s folks really vibe with each other #but at the end of the ep she falls asleep at an inopportune time #and he's so so upset he thought she left #like i think one thing that is never addressed in love is blind is body language #and basic knowledge such as MY DATE FELL ASLEEP #lots of people would feel dismissed by that but also i think it could be an indication of someone's comfort with you #other than they're not actually in each others' presence #anyway what i was getting around to #is i was screaming at production #please tell him she's asleep #he deserves to know she's asleep she didn't ditch him #anyway this show stresses me out more since really coming to terms with the level at which i'm impacted by other people's movement #how you stand how you eat how you position yourself in relation to other people on and on #right what i didn't get around to saying was i was hoping bc this couple was older #they'd. act grown #but of course not #of course no one is acting grown on this show

@userdramas event 07: identity — a queer character who represents me

“Saying that you would become an adult when you have a family and kids I wonder what basis they have for it. Restricting your children because you can’t let them go is being a parent? Pushing your values on someone is being a family? That’s ridiculous! Forget about trying to understand individuals like us, not even recognising us. ‘Majority opinion is right’, ‘nothing like family’, ‘love for love’s sake’, ‘what I say is absolute’. Any parents who say that begone!” — takahashi satoru, koisenu futari (2022)

So sorry to bother you. It's been months since I saw gifs of "koisenu futari", and I so want to watch it - I've read quotes from the show... and they speak to me so so much. But I can't find it anywhere... do you know where I can watch it? Thank you.

It's not a bother at all anon! The show was a little hard to find at first because there was only one person on twitter putting up subs, but now it's far more easily available. You can watch it on kissasian here with english subtitles:

It's absolutely beautiful! I hope you enjoy it. If you have any trouble with any of the episodes, let me know :)

me watching any piece of media ever made: how can i make the thesis here about the wondrous, fulfilling, frightening, destroying, restorative, glimmering thrall of, and tragic inevitability of grief within, any and every form of love?

elvis (2022): *very first thing we hear* oh, let our love survive... *later*: love song i've known since childhood used in a dark, ominous way and a desperately tender one: some things are meant to be. take my hand, take my whole life too, for i can't help falling in love... *later still*: it was love. *last*: i need your love...

ah. okay. so you just made my job too easy. i don't even have to search for it. thank you. guess i'll go insane.

#if you need the short explanation #joanna newsom: a little shade of grief comes in when love is its most real version.#then it contains death inside of it and then that death contains love inside of it.#i want to write so much but 99% of you are not here for this and think i have well and truly lost it and that's fair #what's so funny is it's exactly what happened with moulin rouge two decades ago #christian: a story about a time; a story about a place; a story about the people.#but above all things: a story about love. a love that will live forever.#younger me: thank you. guess i'll go insane!#and it predates that considerably. i have countless examples. it's so funny HOW predictable i am and have been since the age of about seven #okay i have to go to bed i'm destroying my body with sleep deprivation 😭 i'll be back for more derangement later #elvis #i was a dreamer #sail on silver girl; sail on by #it starts as OUR love because it's already telling us it's shared. we're a part of this now #and then can't help falling is like: do we find what we love or does it find us? is this fate or could one thing have been different #if one thing had been different would everything be different today #does it matter even though it's already done? (yes) if you reach out your hand to the sense of that love how does it affect your life?#(and on a personal level for me: you heard but you didn't listen carefully enough. the door was always open)#i'll be coming home. *wait* for me.#then the conclusion is it's love it was always love. but from the person who doesn't even understand that #so we have to take it to heart differently. time goes by so slowly and TIME CAN DO SO MUCH. are you still mine?#time transforms and time provides distance but time can also give clarity #and then it's an entreaty and a prayer: i need your *love*. i *need* your love. godspeed your love to me.#it's never not needed and it's never not valuable and it's never not new and it's never not fate and grief and light and spirit.#you can run and run and always land back home. you can hurt and triumph and break and always find your love. even if it's yours alone.#it's yours baby and no one can take it away from you #put me in the heart locket i'm done

most confounding people to me are people who are anti-rpf but write and/or read self-insert fanfiction about. real people. like is that not just rpf but now you're one of the characters

#as a bit of an rpf connoisseur i hate self-insert x reader stuff and can't read like more than two lines without cringing #but like #why is it socially acceptable to some people who think rpf is like. a moral failure. interesting stuff #like if you're jealous that your real guy is falling in love w his best friend and not y/n you can just say that #it would be one thing if this was like. one person. but i have come across this on 4 different memorable occasions #im talking again

In my depressed era again <3

#for literally no reason ugh i hate it i hate it i hate it #probably a bad mix of overthinking and lovesickness again but what's new #i figured out why i like to do stuff until late at night until i fall asleep lol it's because i don't wanna be left alone with my thoughts #i guess that's why i could go such a long time without you know what... i always had lots of schoolwork to do and didn't have much time to-#-think about this kind of shit and once i don't have anything to do anymore i found myself in bed with a bleeding arm lmao #also let's call this my 'everyone i know hates me and my best friends despise me the most' era #still gonna stay up two more hours because i'm like a damn puppy who waits excitedly for their favorite person to come home from work #at this point i should maybe write all this shit in a diary but like. you know how my rambling posts start so y'all can just ignore #tldr i'm feeling like shit and i can't promise that i won't do something stupid again #i'm just too hung up on things that happened weeks ago but like what if it isn't actually ok now #also i know i'm too clingy and possessive with people i'm really close to but it's just my abandonment issues :(#and i know i fucked things up with other people (friendships and relationships) way too many times so i'm putting all i have into this one #still i feel like it's too much and too little at the same time idk i just Know when i really like someone and then i don't wanna lose them #but at the same time i often drive them away with my excessive love and attention because certain people are like some addiction to me #ok no that's too much already for now sorry #anyways i'm sobbing and shaking and feeling terrible and guilty #oh and unrelated but i nearly got run over by a car today 👍🏻 fucking hate drunk small town students in a mcd's parking lot #mel talks #tw self harm
