♫let desire flow, never let it go♫

I'll wait forever and a lifetime To find I'm not alone And there's a silent storm inside me And someday I'll be calm

ROUND 1 ALL POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Touga Kiryuu/Kyouichi Saionji:

They're canon, but also they are the fucking worst

Reo Niiboshi/Mabu Akutsu:

THEY ARE CANON. Sarazanmai is Kunihiko Ikuhara's (the guy that directed Utena) take on the BL genre.

[SPOILER] Reo and Mabu start off as cops, but this is intentional as they're meant to be the antagonists. Mabu's whole character arc is about trying to heal from having died during the Otter invasion (representing capitalism, imperialism, and homophobic oppression) protecting Reo, then being resurrected by an Otter scientist doctor. But the catch is that the Otter will only allow Mabu to sleep with HIM (the Otter is a shapeshifter that takes the form of Reo) and if Mabu tells Reo he loves him, Mabu's heart will explode and then he'll die. Meanwhile Reo has no idea any of this shit is happening, he just thinks Mabu is an emotionless doll and he takes out his frustrations on him. Reo and Mabu spend the second half of the show trying to steal wish-granting dishes from the OTHER canonical gay characters.

Reo eventually realizes that he and Mabu were being manipulated by the Otters after Mabu decides it hurts too much to bear to be unable to express his love to Reo, so he confesses. He confesses, dies, Reo gets shot by an emo weed dealer who's taking revenge for his brother. Both Reo and Mabu get resurrected, quit being cops, and become rickshaw drivers. Reo and Mabu won't win bc no one knows what the fuck Sarazanmai is but they SHOULD win.

We are connected, together we are sarazanmai.

sooo I watched sarazanmai aaand

the funniest part of sarazanmai was reo literally committing crimes against children for mabu

Nobody is doing it like them. Reomabu sweep so fucking real

Y’ALL WEREN’T KIDDING that sarazanmai light novel vol. 2 can reomabu!

What if we were the princes envoys with a doomed and tragic homoerotic and romantic relationship that exists to highlight how trauma and miscommunication can harm a relationship and we were both kappa boys?
