Yes, it generally was That Time When Miyu was *this* close to taking off her shoe and shanking Daimon with the heel but didn’t because she is A Lady™; HOWEVER, there was also that part when Chigi confessed she got a little bit (i quote: “just a tiny bit!”) excited when she saw her in the Greatest HITS performance outfit (this one) and Miyu kind of lost it
4. 2016 kagami biraki ceremony and the Ozouni Saga it spawned
3. Chigi’s Kenshin Tokyo raku hand-holding surprise
Followed by Miyu’s Caleb Hunt Tokyo raku hug surprise
2. Announcing taidan on the same day and holding press conferences for it on the Good Couple’s Day
So absolutely fitting for them. The timing, everything they said for each other and the encouraging texts they sent each other before/after helped take my mind off the original bout of sadness over the fact itself
1. Everything that happened during Roman Holiday promotion, and especially, of course, the reason I probably had 5 extra years added to my lifespan: the SKY TREE DATE
Including an endless parade of hit pieces such as:
You held my hand tight and gave me strength (ide remember, lol)
Don’t flatter me in front of people omg stop
Your unusually high body heat is charming
Let’s go to Rome! (Ain’t nobody got time for that)
Let’s go to Rome! -Reprise- (Only if we can walk there)
Never forget ~That time you overslept and came to rehearsals looking like a mess~
I’ll take you to Disneyland and wear the stupid headbands you like but then leave you to line up alone
Honestly? I haven’t had much of a personal style, clothing-wise, for years. I was pretty broke at my old job and more or less trained myself out of the desire to spend money on clothes. Ideally I’d like my style to resemble Instagram user pepamack.
Since you're craving a chance to talk about ILE so badly.... THOMAS AND EDUARD
YOU CAN READ MY MIND I AM LIKE 99% SUREThomas was also requested by @chemicalperfume and anonymous <3333333 thank youuu
Warning: this is post is spoiler-heavy for the plot of I Love Einstein so I’m putting it under a cut
Thomas:
sexuality headcanonTHOMAS IS 150% GAY AND HE HAS NO IDEAMy headcanon is that he always lived in a pretty “conservative” environment (steampunk setting=vague enough that I can do whatever I want with the time period :DD) in which getting married and having children is just normal so he was expecting he’d find a woman he liked and wanted to build a family with someday but that just never happens and he’s not that bothered but doesn’t really understand why. He never realised he might be feeling more (and like A LOT MORE) than brotherly love for his brother-in-law. He might figure it out someday.I am not sure whether he falls on the asexual spectrum as far as sexual orientation goes. I’ve been debating about it, I could see it but I’m not sure)
otpUnrequited Albert/Thomas but I can’t actually ship him with anyone in a serious way
brotpI guess Albert/Thomas bc that’s the kind of relationship they have. They’re brothers-in-law but they share so much more.Also him and Mileva bc I really wanted to see more of their relationship play out
notpI guess Thomas/Anne if that can be considered a ship??? Bc like no they’re PURE
first headcanon that pops into my headUhmmmmmAfter the events of the show he and Eduard tried to reconnect bc they were the only ones left to know all the story and remember Albert and Mileva for the people they were, Thomas as his beloved sister and brother and Eduard as his “parents”. They were the only ones each other could cling to to process the grief. And Thomas has to work A LOT on himself to get over the pain and regret of the past knowing that it was Eduard who caused the death of the two. But he also knew he couldn’t blame him and Eduard already blamed himself enough for something he’d had no control over whatsoever. And I can totally see their relationship bloom out and them beginning to heal, and figure out this weird familial bond they somehow share and ooohhh ahah this is going somewhere sappy and painful I’ll stop.
favorite line from this characterI can’t pick just one so I’m doing a top three (warning: I wish to God I could remember the exact words from the show, this is just what little I can recall)
3. The entirety of My Eyes (his solo number) because those lyrics make me shiver all over. As awkward the first line of the chorus (”I see with my eyes”) it somehow sounds perfect in context “I see with my eyes, I’ll see everything through. Granting you the heavenly punishment for your love, that is the mission I’ve taken onto myself!”2. His monologue at the end of act 1. 1. This BEAUTIFUL exchange he has with Albert after he explains all that he did and why. And as he goes to explain he went all that distance because he made it his mission to grant Albert and Mileva’s dream, the dialogue goesAlbert: how arrogant of you. (傲慢だな。)Thomas: takes one to know one. (お互い様だろう。)And it’s burned into my memory because it’s so simple and yet it’s their relationship in a nutshell and it’s brilliant
one way in which I relate to this characterI too have lost control over my life and am emotionally scarred(he makes himself into the keeper of this dark secret that is tearing him apart and yet it’s what keeps him going because he faced so much despair and loneliness and like of course it’s to a different extent and very different conditions but the concept is something I’m familiar with and can empathize a lot)
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this characterThe painfully obvious crush he has for Albert that both the plot and I’m guessing Maitii refuse to acknowledge.
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?THOMAS IS THE DEFINITION OF SINNAMON ROLL
Eduard:
sexuality headcanonssssshhh no he is a child
otpSSSSSSHH NO HE IS A CHILD
brotpHim and Thomas for what I explained earlier.In my headcanon by the end of the show from Rudolf (Akachan)’s point of view he’s like his little brother and I think that’s adorable.
notpI mean I have no otp for him so I guess every possible ship is my notp for him. (there are no possible ships he is A CHILD)
first headcanon that pops into my headEven as he chooses to live with Josef/Leo as his father, the main “baddies” trio aka Elemer, Rudolf and Vera (Kazumi, Akachan and Akari) basically decide they have adopted him and are a family now. Rudolf sees him more like a little brother but Elemer and Vera are like “we are your parents now we love u kid”. ESPECIALLY ELEMER. ELEMER ADORES THIS KID.
favorite line from this character“Mom… thank you, and I’m sorry”
one way in which I relate to this characterI too have no idea what is going on with my life and just want my mommy
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this characterThe fact that Aren frigging Touma is too bloody talented for her own good. (…his hands movement as Wolff get awkward. Really awkward. Sometimes)
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?EDUARD IS THE CINNAMON ROLL AND WOLFF IS THE PROBLEMATIC FAVE HE’S BOTH AT THE SAME TIME ISN’T IT AMAZING
unsubtlelove replied to your post“OH NO HOTARU LOVES THE PEANUTS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEAN DO YOU...”
I'M WAITING FOR A TANI + HOTARU PIC WITH ALL THE PEANUTS MERCHANDISE
unsubtlelove answered your question “Does anyone have tips on what Japanese entertainment/celeb mags might...”
Best Stage normally has SOMETHING zuka related cause of musicals, Frau used to do Zuka features as well but apart from that most mags that have zuka things tend to be a single or double page feature, nothing more substantial.
Thanks! Most of my purchases are from the sale section anyway so it’d be worth paying for one article XD
