IRL Ritsuka took a candid pic of IRL Haruki asleep on IRL Akihiko’s shoulder. Just the look on that man’s face! Just suspend reality for a second; Akihiko at the moment he opens his eyes, and realizes someone’s taking pics of him and Haruki…but then realizes it’s Ritsuka
Kawakami is suuuuch an Aries! But if you’ve ever seen the guy speak for more than 3mins, you know he has a soft, gentle charm about him, and charisma for days!
Sunaga is just a beaming, giggling ray of sunshine, poppin from one snarky prompt to the next; the boy knows how to sell you! While his not so subtle, almost cringeworthy but it’s too sincere, crushing over Miyauchi Iori has been a thing of wonder, throughout pre and post production; his IRL admiration and friendship with Kawakami has been a source of sheer joy for Given fans.
While Funaki and Miyauchi hammed it up pretty damn good, during production; Kawakami and Sunaga have continued to feed the gvntwt moe in really sweet spoonfuls. Often posting twinning pics or call and response banter. Stuff like this; just kinda in the know for the fans. Sunaga plugs the live production and its merch like a personal mission He’s all in! And I love that so much, as a Given fan, and as an Arts Science major. The IDEA of falling asleep on Akihiko’s shoulder, and it was Ritsuka who caught the pic. But idt it was staged, like usual. It’s just magic!
Also. Just read the thread back and forth between Shibuki and Sunaga ah hahahaha!! But what I love the most about their off stage comeraderie, is not the allusions to the characters they played, so much as just the comeraderie itself. Guys being accommodating and sweet to eachother, because that should be an aspiration damn it, and esspecially when they’re two very different and very dominant personalities. They still make space for one another.
Ok it’s not nice to discredit people for their accomplishments, no matter how small or how unsung BUT there’s def a difference between being proud of yourself and just being a proud ass!
Yes he’s a fire sign. No he’s not the hard working one…or even the romantic, dramatic, funny one…he’s the other one. The one that somehow smooozed Scorpio’s spot.
This is all in good humor btw we’re still friends …on a blue moon…when it’s raining. ..and there’s a warm breeze from the north
See!! Here’s a pic of us communicating perfectly productively ->
K, I know this isn’t my usual content, but I haven’t seen you all in almost a month soooo
Wanna seeeeee what I got!?
Isn’t that doooooorbs!? ❤ K so I love sea horses and to me they represent the normalcy and beauty of the non binary in nature If you didn’t know; the [males] carry, develope, and birth the babies. In light of recent human and constitutional rights violations in the United States, with the “dont say gay” infringements, which puts already vulnerable kids and their care givers at extreme risk; if you’re looking for a positive, non aggressive, scientific way to broach gender fluidity with really anyone ….point them in the direction of a children’s book called Mister Seahorse by Eric Carle ->
Not only is the artwork beautiful and INTERACTIVE !! But it gently leads the reader through different gender roles and non conforming fluidity of many sea creatures ❤
I also got this insanely cravable mug!!! I desire nothing more than utilitarian art !! Like the table for instance It’s not dirty; it looks like water!!
I also got this little Lego figure for the Year of the Tiger we’re gonna pretend it’s Wei Wuxian
Annnnd my favorite!!! ->
I got an amonite for my Pisces sun and a tiger’s eye for my Leo moon
Ah haha!!! Bijou kitty ran to “safe” behind Dad My dog Honey is like OH SHIT!! My bad… She knows I won’t save her lolz LOOK at the fear in those eyes!! [This was taken over my shoulder blind!! I’m sideways in the chair]
Alright happy end of Pictures and thank you for baring with me while I took some time away ❤

Since the “Don’t Say Gay” bill was passed today, I think it’s time for some Malicious Compliance. From what I might wrongfully understand, this bill is vague enough that heterosexual topics can be reported as well. If no one is punished for heterosexual talk, but are punished for talking about queer things, then that sets up a discrimination lawsuit.
Never have I witnessed a more fragile specimen than a conservative with power. Embarrassing.
Absolutely disgusting
Ah haha!! As I make it my purpose in life to be Tumblr’s gay simp fairy ♂️ and spread Franjean’s LGBTQIA+ Dust of Broken Hearts all over the damn place through queer representation in the arts and literature *ahhh le sigh* I take this as a personal challenge!! Game on!! I will be photo dumping and posting simp worthy gayness for the rest of the day ❤ You can thank me later I will be the card catalog and micro phish extraordinaire!

And if you want to contribute to my work, or even just my wellbeing; contact me here. I’ll check msgs, and I’ll be back soon; but not for a little while.

Today we presented in class and the only out and proud gay boy in my small private catholic school went to the front with his group and one of his other group members stood next to him so he turned to them and said “can you go over there? i don’t like to stand next to heterosexuals” and i can’t stop thinking about it
Can we all do a thing where we talk about how we learned that we were asexual for asexual awareness week? I think it would be pretty neat.
Here’s mine:
I spent years knowing about the lgbtqia+ community and being super accepting of it despite my religious school and family. I think because of this I started questioning. There wasn’t any real reason, I just wanted to look into it.
Through the years I learned about so many different identities in order to figure out what mine is. I jumped from straight, to pan, to bi, to gay, and back to straight multiple times. But no matter what identity I would land on it never felt right.
In hindsight my asexuality should have been easy to figure out. Other people would look at a guy and say how hot he is, while I would just wonder how that’s the first thing someone would notice, and I didn’t even know what it meant to be attractive. I never had crushes and always thought waiting until marriage is easy. I never understood why people would actively seek out sex and crave it, because when I think about it I only feel uncomfortable and awkward.
It’s not as though I didn’t know the word “asexual,” but whenever I came across it I skimmed over it assuming it wasn’t me. I liked the idea of romance and stuff, so past me thought asexuality couldn’t be me. I obviously had misunderstandings about asexuality at the time so I don’t blame myself, but I should have read more into it.
One day during pride month, I was laying around reading lgbt reddit threads, when it just dawned on me that I’m asexual. It really came out of nowhere, it was actually a little weird lol, but I’m happy to finally know this part of myself. This has developed into my knowledge that I’m aro as well.
This was a little long and was posted fairly late into ace week (and I feel like no one’s gonna respond to it), but feel free to add you own story if you want!
Everyone irl is talking about how many kids they want but all I want in life are those car stickers that represent family members but instead of it being me, my spouse, and my kids, I want it to be me and just a ton of dogs. Dream big, kids
“It’s a nice room…” Emmet’s father said “It has 2 beds… a table and… Walls…?”
Emmet looked at the walls. They had holes in them. It looked like he could punch trough the walls easily.
Emmet’s mom sighed “Well at least you got a dorm room in the university… Everything was almost booked…” she put a hand on Emmet’s shoulder “I wonder when is your roommate coming? I don’t think that we’ll be able to meet them, but it would be lovely¡”
The boy stayed silent. He didn’t want to meet his roommate. Emmet didn’t like new people. Scrap that. He didn’t like people at all. He never knew what to say.
“Well, we helped you with your stuff, we should go to work now. Sorry that we can’t stay for longer” Emmet’s mother had tears in her eyes.
“It’s okay. You should get going then¡”
When they all said their goodbyes, Emmet went to now his bed. When he sat on the bed it creaked. It smelled old too. “I can’t believe this is real…” The boy was exhausted, but he still managed to get up, grab his bed sheets and make his bed. Then, he plopped on his bed. It smelled like home now. Like moms washing machine. Emmet fell asleep.
A floor creak woke Emmet up. He sat up, fixed his glasses and then saw a boy. Seeing him made Emmet feel déjà vu and a longing. A longing to talk to the boy.
The boy had black messy hair, he looked like he just came back from a storm. His eyes were dark green. They seemed empty. He looked like he didn’t have an expression on his face. This kind of scared Emmet. Emmet wanted to say something. Maybe “Hello¡” or “Hi.” But it didn’t sound right in his head. So, the boys just stared at each other for a while. Awkwardly.
Luckily the new boy said something.
“Hello. I’m Levi”
Emmet got up from his bed to not seem rude and shook the boy’s crackly hand.
“I’m Emmet. Nice to meet you.” It wasn’t nice to meet him. It was awkward.
Then Levi went to the desk and opened some book. Emmet saw that he had packed out his things. Emmet too, went to his boxes to pack his stuff out. He tried to not acknowledge his roommate’s existence, but considering the rooms size, it was hard. Emmet took a look at the boy. His side profile was nice. His lips were little and his nose wasn’t long. Levi was pretty good looking. Levi looked at Emmet. That was a cue to stop staring.
When Emmet was done un packing he felt relieved. He could relax now… Is what he would have done if Levi wasn’t there. Emmet really wanted to talk with him for some reason. Then he thought of a topic to talk about.
“What’s your major?” Emmet asked his roommate
“Programing. Game programing. And yours?”
Oh, my major is art.” Emmet sat on his bed.
The boy looked away from his book. “That’s interesting. Can you show me some of your art pieces?”
Emmet didn’t think he’d get a question like this from him. It was kind of embarrassing to show his roommate his art, but he still did it anyways. He took out a painting named “Sakura night”. In the art piece you could see a Sakura tree. Its petals were falling, dancing in the sky, going where the wind takes them. In the background there was a full moon and one lonely star next to it. They were looking down at the world.
When Levi saw Emmet’s art, his eyes sparkled. Levi raised his eyebrows
“It’s really something. When did you paint it?”
“When I was 12 or 11…? But it’s still my favorite out off all of my pieces.”
Levi forced a smile.
“I can see why your major is art. Keep it up.”
Emmet blushed. He wasn’t used to being praised, so it was nice to hear it from someone like Levi.
After a while Levi looked at Emmet and asked.
“…Have we ever met before…?”
“No…? I’m sorry if we have, I’m pretty forgetful…”
“Oh, no, it’s okay.” Levi replied and went back to reading his book. He seemed… disappointed?
Emmet was confused now. Maybe he had met Levi before? He thought of this for a second, but it was too much for his brain, so he decided to not think about it. Instead, he went out of his dorm to get some fresh air. Of course, there wasn’t any fresh air in the hallway, so he headed to the university’s garden. In the hallway there weren’t that many people and Emmet thought that he did a good job of not attracting attention to himself, but it still felt like everyone was staring at him. Laughing.
The garden was really pretty. There were lots of flowers of every color. Blue, red, pink, orange, green, violet… There were even a couple of Sakura trees¡ They had already bloomed. Their petals were falling onto the ground. This made Emmet smile. It reminded him of his Sakura tree back at home. It was his 16th birthday present, which meant a lot to him. Emmet was and still is in love which Japanese culture and he made it really obvious. When he was 12 years old, his mom even got Emmet a kimono, because he wouldn’t stop asking for one. Emmet wore it to festivals and celebrations. But the other kids… thought that it was weird… They made fun of him for wearing a “dress” as they called it. All though that didn’t stop Emmet from wearing it, it still left a huge scar on his life. Emmet still has the Kimono in his closet back at home, but of course it’s too small for him now, which saddened him.
He stayed in the garden for a while. It made Emmet feel relaxed.
The boy was in his own world. A word where everyone and everything was good. A world without bad things. A world without him. When Emmet woke up from his day dreaming, he noticed that it was already dark, so, he rushed to his dorm room.
When he got back, Levi was already sleeping. Emmet took off his coat and boots. On the table there was a neat drawing of an anime like character drawn from all sides. “Did Levi draw this…? It’s pretty good… But it can use some fixing.” Emmet thought to himself. It was really good. He was impressed. The boy yawned. He went to the bathroom, changed and went to bed with his teddy bear named Lilly.
Two new pieces of Hella Gay Shit ™️ that I made because I can. The first is based off a pic that I took of my girlfriend sleeping. The other is of my girlfriends sister and her FTM boyfriend that I did for their anniversary (how cute are they? The art isn’t perfect but it’s been so healing for my souls to create art of the wonderful queer story that I suppressed for so long.
I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
Does anyone know who these artists are?? They’re brilliant and I’d like to credit them!!

Can this be the new trend this year? I really love it, making non-positive art into beautiful accepting positivity. And also very gay. Love the gay.
