Niyatada bonus illust for sc jj vol. 3

[aspureasamelody]

Jewel Joker features Amu and Tadase getting sent on an infiltration mission and both of them getting mixed up in evil gay situationships that mirror the sort of complications and insecurities they've faced in past bonds from the original series

I like how this spotlights how much much their empathy, trust, and self-awareness evolved throughout the first series and how it puts that to the test here

Amu's seeing a girl who doesn't know who she is in the mirror and is desperate to be something, anything but what she is, because she hates herself, and Amu knows that pain and it makes her freeze

Tadase is bonding with someone who is so many red flags and making the active effort to trust and stand by them because Tadase wants to believe in those he loves, he's struggled to do so in the past and never wants to go through that again

Sshhhhhh, my favorite BL has already started... (SCJJ Chapter 15 spoilers)

Tadase literally tells Niya that he likes him.

Their moments are great because it's easy to read them as open-hearted bluntness out of context, like Tadase is just naturally this suave casanova without even knowing it himself

But Tadase 100% knows what he's doing at times like this. It's not phony or shallow, it's genuine. But it is also deliberate

Kukai himself admitted that this is just how Tadase flirts with the people he likes

It's pretty similar to how he flirts with Amu too. Like Amu and Kiseki have pointed out, Tadase is cunning and clever

Tadase is out bisexual icon, confirmed
