Package Deal Besties Are Always So Fun To Draw :3

thinking about bucchigiri and its motif of connecting food with love and family, how matakara implied that he'd be happy to make miso soup with arajin for the rest of his life and how he enjoys just making gyoza with him...

Damon says worst take known to man

basalt and kyanite

bro arajin better start getting his act together next episode bc idk how much more i can take of him fumbling literally the best bf material

hmmm

yes yes yes you get it! I also think Ichiya has some sort of mind control thing going on. I think that's why the NG boys are like that. Or maybe it's not a specific power, but that's Akutaro's wish?

Also, I feel like a lot of the anons you're getting are not fully understanding Arajin's character or purpose in the narrative. More fundamentally, I think they're misunderstanding shame as a motivator. Like saying, "if he's so ashamed of himself he should be trying to get stronger" is such a misrepresentation of how shame works. You don't run towards the problem and try to overcome it you run away from it. To overcome something you have to reject that shame and believe in yourself in spite if it. You have to let go of shame to even be able to look at the problem head on. Arajin wouldn't want to get stronger (the desire that led to his trauma in the first place, by the way) because he doesn't believe that he can, and he's too ashamed to try.

I also have the theory that Arajin won't be forced to change until something happens to Matakara, like whatever is being teased in the intro.

Yeah. I’m kind of had a headcanon that Ichiya has some sort of magical ability that makes Akutaro keeps the rest of the grunts in line.

Also yes to Arajin cuz that’s what I’m feeling his character development is going to revolve around and what has been teased in the OP.

kill him

we don’t see eye to eye

I know a puppy when I see one 🩵🩵🩵

Calling it right now, Jasmine is an actual cat and that’s the funny twist in the final episode
