guess ill say this again but im bottom nagi (top reo) only! in all their ships! ive zero tolerance for the reverse and will openly hate and rant about it! both the ship and shippers! oh and im also ALLnagi!
so do protect yourselves 🙂↕️🙂↕️
if i really like a chapter i buy it in both english and japanese which i did for 348 🤡 the last time i did was for bird cage WHICH BY THE WAY EVEN THO WAS SPLIT INTO 2 WAS STILL THE SAME PRICE?! anyway…i tend to prefer the jpn one cuz nagi’s word choices makes him very cute ;-;
my biggest fear is them not being weaved together cohesively 😭😭😭 or some pieces being dropped altogether 😭😭😭 I NEED KNSR TO LOCK IN FOR HIS BACKSTORY OH GOD PLS 😭🙏
seeing how nagi reacted to opps like haneru who was outright malicious with that kick to his face, i dont think he was ever bullied or anything. otherwise there would be some emotional response/trauma to being targeted like that?
but also personality wise, in his light novel he was so indifferent to social interactions! almost like a god looking down at mere mortals cuz of his genius!! aaaaaa i really need to know how his genius interplays with his family background! there’s so many pieces here -
@Yukiteruu_ by side b mentality, i meant the rest of the cast in bird cage. they seem to prefer teaming up with nagi than shooting him down
tho i would argue nagi's default seems to fit that too, but he's trying to go the bllk way. whether its a mistake remains to be seen
348 one more point that im left wondering is…for now, its only haneru who has the clear intention to shoot nagi down cuz he knows nagi’s the biggest threat (very bllk way of doing things). other characters (for now) seem to prefer teaming up with nagi (side b mentality),
@Yukiteruu_ and just from the short exchange haneru observed in the kira nagi duo, its very clear nagi exhibited more "trust and cooperation" attitude with his nicknames and going all out to corner with his face. he picked kira cuz he knows nagi's the threat
348 its so obvious haneru’s manipulative af and a flat out liar cuz wdym you chose kira right after you said “cooperation and trust”? when nagi’s the one who literally took a whole ass ball to his face for kiracchi to trap it? when he’s the one giving cute names to build a bond?
@Yukiteruu_ i dont think haneru genuinely picked kira cuz of that. there's a reason he's labelled as a "smooth talker" cuz this dude's just saying whatever to win people over. most telling is him saying kira lost due to "bad luck" cuz how would he have known? kira knows he's full of shit
@Matuvu63 yea i dont think kira trusts him here but not just cuz of his methods, but also the words he's saying. there's a reason why he's being labelled a "smooth talker" cuz he's praising kira without reason. how would he know kira lost just out of "bad luck"
ok since haneru is the designated villain who bullies nagi, imma need kira to step up and be the hero to protect him! maybe nagi reminded him of himself or something so he feels protective 🙂↕️
yes i want independent nagi but that and protective kira isnt mutually exclusive!
anyway, back to choki… its very interesting behaviour on nagi’s part to prick himself on choki’s thorns every morning not just to wake himself up, but perhaps literally feel and affirm that choki is there with him…
its no wonder they fell into codependecy
my fav metaphor for them; reo’s the kind who prefers to crawl and bury himself in his partner, while nagi prefers his to bury themselves in him. since both are males, replacing the body parts in different context just gives...reonagi 😌
i always say this but this is exactly why it HAS to be REOnagi dynamics. their personalities are so complementary in the sense of affirming the other’s worth with reo wanting to make an impact and be the one who leads and nagi WANTING his partner to change and influence him,
its pretty consistent in the subtext nagi’s an instinctual and “feeling” type, so it makes sense he would like to experience others’ impact on him directly for it to feel “real” and affirming to him. the biggest example is ofc “i want you to break me” vs “i want to be your light”
i wonder if this has something to do with his childhood neglect with this as an overcompensation to shake himself out of his stupor from being numb from being left along for so long…
but i think his innate nature could also lean slightly masochistic so a mix of both?
nagi has this tendency of preferring others doing things TO him cuz he wants to “literally” feel them and their influence on him. its similar to how rather than changing someone, he prefers being changed by others, almost like its a way to affirm his place with them
