…and another thing about Queendom

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

no one who has been through it before would dare criticize the trajectory of ibuki x botan as depicted in the anime. the stops and starts, the feelings of fear and hesitancy as you approach that line, the risk of destroying one world in hopes of building another #上伊那ぼたん

i am begging people that if someone posts that they hate how asian women kiss and your first response is to post your faves kissing to prove them wrong, pls put down your phone and sit this one out

このシーンを観ると、感情が込み上げてきて仕方がないですよね。空気が何だか恋っぽいっていうか。それに恋って怖いだなって理解するシーンでもあるんですけど #上伊那ぼたん

as summer passes into fall and the footsteps of winter can be heard, the excitement of new feelings gives way to something deeper. love takes it form, bringing with it the weight of what it means to truly open your heart to another and hold theirs in your own hands #上伊那ぼたん

criticizing gl kissing technique is corny imo. if the emotions leading up to it are there, i do not care whether or not a tongue enters a mouth

#上伊那ぼたん has the type of mature storytelling that lets the viewer read between the lines. moments of ambiguity between the characters come through unfiltered. raw emotion lingers unexplained. it calls for interpretation without hiding its vision. exquisite yuri

ma'am do you have a license to operate this god-tier line? ＃上伊那ぼたん #kamiinabotan

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

i haven't read the manga so i could be way off base, but from my perspective everything seems very real and organic. an explicit love confession or a sudden makeout session seems off base with what this is going for. but what it is depicting has its own special kind of beauty

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

just my opinion, but i think many people miss the point when they look at botan and ibuki and say "why aren't they together" or think they are being oblivious. what #kamiinabotan is depicting is a very natural dynamic of two people growing more intimate with eo #上伊那ぼたん

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

it is quite clear that they are being very intentional. everything is reciprocal. no one is getting ragebaited (anymore). they communicate. they have taken all the steps forward you would expect from two people pairing off within a social group in this specific time of life

sure the stakes are low, but the feelings are relatable. how often do you get a blank stare in response to opening up to someone? and i really liked botan's simple and straightforward response, giving ibuki a safe place to be her true self. my favorite scene in the episode

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

botan must be really empathetic. you can see how her demeanor completely changes after ibuki shares about her hurtful experience. it was to the point where ibuki had to cheer her up even when it was her own sad story #kamiinabotan #上伊那ぼたん

[also (“)= @almost_sometime]

ibuki is unable to open her heart to kanade the way she has to botan. you can feel a subtle distance between them throughout their time together. but ibuki still finds a way to reach across and preserve the good feelings they have built w/ one another #kamiinabotan #上伊那ぼたん
