#given la

[heretherebedork]

This was a far, far better end than I expected. Happy and open, Uenoyama admitting his feelings to himself and to Mafuyu and Mafuyu finally having the strength to open himself up, to his own feelings and for a second chance at love.

Given Live action (July 17 2021)

[heretherebedork]

In which Mafuyu is just doing his best and Uenoyama cannot stop panicking except when he's alone with his thoughts and, honestly, Akhiko's advice cannot sink in fast enough for these poor darlings.

We have another bisexual king!

Welcome, Akhiko, who sometimes dates boys and demands to know if that's strange because it's not at all.

We stan every bisexual king in BL, but especially one who points out the flaws in his friend's logic.

The lalala has not gotten any easier to bear.

It's so funny.

I just have to pretend it doesn't happen, honestly.

Or I can't handle the show.

Also, finally, four attempts and I found one with subs!

[heretherebedork]

And Given episode 5... makes me happy I didn't watch the anime where apparently there were even MORE subplots, makes me wonder if they're really planning a second season?! and also made me laugh because you are LITERALLY IN A CONCERT VENUE, someone has a spare string why are you running across the city to get one?!?!

I am not even a musician (at ALL) but seriously people ALWAYS carry extra strings because they break! The idea that not a single person in this place RIGHT BEFORE A CONCERT has an extra string doesn't work.

... I do love Mafuyu calling himself an idiot the entire run, though.

I also really, really feel bad for Haruki because he's basically my favorite tiny little character who is thirsty AF but the poor boy's crush is already at least semi-taken?!

I mean, they obviously needed some drama but oy. I didn't need that.

Also, seriously? On the second to the last episode?

At least we got Mafuyu and Yuki's story and tiny, dead kiss? Man. Poor boys.

Frigay is BACK!

Don't Say No: Leo and Fiat will continue to somehow make an inability to communicate be adorable and also we get to meet Leo's brother! Maybe introduction of the side couple? Oooo.

Top Secret Together: Lukmo should not have been left in charge of a relationship. MaiEak is gonna be a brat. Namo won't get what he deserves. Phob will somehow discover that he should trust MaiEak more despite being given no reason to do so.

Light: Tailor shop and protectiveness and unhealthy relationship and I don't even care JUST PREMIERE ALL READY PLEASE. I wanna watch and suffer. I love all characters who say 'I know it isn't true but just say you love me' and I wanna know how it ends already.

Given: They will probably continue to be stupid but maybe we'll see some progress and more cuddling? Hopefully done with the lalalalalas.

CIWYW2: We will finally get the Marco comforting Bas that I've been craving this entire time! Please. PLEASE. Cuddle Bas so, so much. Hold him FOREVER.

pls im assuming you havent seen the anime but the lalala was worse there i was genuinely relieved with how much better the LA handled the scene djkdkdkskks

I... I am very glad I didn't watch the anime now. Because that's not good. That's not good at all in the LA and yet they did it worse? Ooof. That's rough, man.

I mean, I barely appreciate music as it is. And that lalalalala wasn't even good to my ears? It wasn't impressive or anything. Certainly didn't move my emotions.

At all.

I mean, I guess it made me laugh?

But I don't feel like that was the goal.

Whatever, yo. The rest of the acting is better and I'm adopting Mafuyu as another one of my darling autistic headcanons so I don't really mind.
