you ever think that whenever akane's talking to lemon he acts normal but at the same time he's like

[baguantte]

I am your Japanese fan.

(That's why I used Google Translate for this text. I think there may be some mistakes.)

I really love your drawings of lemonkane!!!

When I was sad that I couldn't find anything when I searched for lemonkane in Japanese, I happened to learn about lemonkane and found your drawings.

Your drawings are very nice and made me very happy.

It is also thanks to you that I started writing and posting lemonkane novels in Japanese.

After seeing your picture, I fell in love with lemonkane even more and wanted to spread it.

(By the way, did you know that lemonkane is called "檸茜" in Japan?)

Lastly, I have a small question,will you ever draw lemonkane in the future?

Hello! it was very sweet of you to go out of your way to leave such a nice message even though you do not speak english! I'm glad my art could reach you, I know it can be hard when there isn't a lot of content for a ship you like. I don't really intend to draw more but I do have a more recent drawing so here you go! (sorry for the quality being bad i couldn't find the original file)

The common misconception that Akane has no personality outside of Aoi is a sign of immaturity among many fans, in my opinion. This isn’t really their fault, seeing as the majority of the tbhk fandom is on the younger side, but it’s still something that should be noted

When people say this, they are talking about his hobbies. It’s true that every hobby Akane has is something he started to impress Aoi. I’m of the firm belief that he stayed on the Student Council because he enjoys it but that’s slightly up to interpretation (it could also be a way for Teru to keep an eye on him). However, in general, Akane doesn’t seem to have much going on outside of Aoi. His favorite food is something he imagines her baking for him, he joins clubs based on what type of guys she shows interest in, the books he reads all have a character that shares her name, and when she asks him what he enjoys, his response is “I like you, Aoi.” He’s even shown to zone out of conversations when Aoi isn’t mentioned. This is clearly unhealthy, though he does eventually learn to give her some distance which is beneficial to the both of them. But he still doesn’t seem to actively engage in hobbies that have nothing to do with Aoi

This is a consistent character flaw, but it does not mean Akane has no personality or character outside of Aoi. This is where the immaturity bit comes in, kids want to describe themselves entirely based on their interests. With the rise of fan culture and the internet, many adults do the same. It’s not just a young people problem, it’s an issue of how we identify ourselves. We like to put people into categories, understanding them based on their hobbies and careers. These are very important elements of identity, but they aren’t everything. A person with no job and no hobbies is still a person. They might struggle due to having no outlet for their creativity, but they are a person nonetheless

Fandoms notoriously love to understand characters based on their niche interests. Aoi is a gardener, Hanako loves the moon, Nene plays idol games, Teru has a very sad life. These are absolutely elements of their characters, but there’s more to them than their hobbies. They have personalities too, goals and passions outside of what they do in their free time

Akane puts his all into helping others, he takes his Student Council duties very seriously and keeps his hands full during every school event. He is a very empathetic character, able to understand characters like Aoi, Teru, and Nene without them having to tell him what they need. He’s competitive, as seen in his friendship with Teru. He’s romantic, as is the driving force of his character (and romance is a perfectly acceptable goal, marriage is one of the most common things for a person to strive towards in life). He’s violent and overprotective, striking down any man who makes Aoi uncomfortable. He’s emotional, prone to fits of joy, anger, and tears. He’s easily annoyed and carries a chip on his shoulder, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to help people. He hates supernaturals because of how they hurt others, and despite his stance as a School Mystery, he is so painstakingly human. He can be aggressive, especially when someone he loves is trying to do something self-destructive. He cares so deeply for people, wearing his heart on his sleeve. He’d stay up all night playing video games if it made the girl he loves happy, but he won’t attack Teru for having genuine feelings for her. He’s incredibly loyal. He’s also casually bisexual so there’s that

Idk there’s just so much more to Akane’s character than people give him credit for, I didn’t even cover everything. Remember when you’re analyzing a character, it’s important to look deeper than “they enjoy this” or “this is their job.” Akane may devote so much of his life to Aoi, but he is still his own person, whether he realizes that or not

I am begging ya’ll to stop throwing the “no character outside of Aoi” allegations at this man

tbhk ships i super like and how i view their dynamics

hananene (sacrifice everything, including their life, to save the one person they love dearly x absolutely crushed by the actions of the person they love, wondering why they couldn't just stay with them)

aoinene (the one person who lets them feel normal x the one person who lets them feel special. they want the other to be happy, no matter what)

hanamitsu (two boys beaten by life discover the little things that make them feel human, together. but they're running on short time and their unsaid feelings get buried 6 ft deep)

tsulemon (one guy burns the roof and gets caught by someone recording the entire thing. said person joins in and they become inseparable, and soon become the most annoying couple on campus. prankster4prankster type shit)

koukane (//shout out to NS ur fic changed lives (mine)// a gravitational pull they can't escape from, letting them find comfort with each other through hard times)

aoimei (muse x artist; the muse who could never be their real self yet the artist always captures the real self of their muse)

sakuaoi (two lonely individuals who find solace in each other. they would hold tea parties together, one would grow the herbs for tea and the other brews the tea. they would bake together)

kounene (the two people who seen each other through the darkest times and knows how each other are feeling, supporting each other no matter what. one loved too early, one loved too late)

mitsukou (two soulmates who keep running in to each other in every time line, but fate keeps trying to sever their string)

hanakou (fate wants them as enemies but they defy fate every time, wanting to be as close as possible with the other)

tsukou (rivals on opposite sides yet they have so much in common. for one, it hurts seeing the other because it reminds them of themself. the other finds comfort, because it reminds them of themself)

sakusumi (two people who have repeated the same cycle over and over but are bound forever with no escape, yet somehow, they find an unlikely escape in each other)

natsuteru (stupid x stupid but hides it better. they would have this rivalry to see who could get injured less. the injured gets bandaged by the other)

terukane (stubborn love; one who believes they're not in love x one who doesn't want to confess first)

lemonkane (dumb x dumb, yet they are super sweet together. they are acts of service and physical touch)
