on the recent iwaoi calamity
okay as funny as the divorce jokes are, i do think that there's a lot of catastrophizing regarding iwaoi due to the newest magazine interviews so here are two takes on it in varying flavors of delulu
starting with the more delusional take:
clearly they were both PR trained and there was no way iwaizumi was going to indicate that he and oikawa keep in touch when their dms are unhinged and they're swapping pics (insert whatever type you like) on the regular. they have to keep it lowkey lest the media find out that iwa has a crazy stash of oikawa gym pics. those aren't for anyone else they're for HIM ONLY!!
on a less delusional take:
they're both very busy people and it's natural for even close friends to "grow apart" due to different life circumstances - not to mention the two of them live in different countries.
HOWEVER, i do think that this is natural for iwaoi - they're the type of people who can return to one another whenever they like, picking up right where they left off -- they're secure in the fact that the other will always be there for them, no matter what, no matter how long it's been.
they're each other's home, even now, especially because neither is actually living in Japan (and let's not forget that Iwaizumi still calls Oikawa his rival, and that he still refers to Oikawa's mom as "Kaachan"!! Very cute!!)
that's why it's not hard for either of them to let the other live their lives. they both respect the other as an individual entity, and because they know that no matter the time or distance they're each other's one and only -- so it's okay if they aren't together in the present!!
yes, it's a little bittersweet to think that they aren't constantly together or even texting every day, however i think that once their lives settle down a little more, they'll reconnect.
.... in short, furudate is CLEARLY setting us up for old man iwaoi yaoi so please do not cry iwaoi nation!!!
