Thinking About How This Poem Referenced In Hometown Cha Cha Cha Perfectly Suits KimChay.💔 Quite Literally

Haikyuu character Sugawara as your boyfriend

His favourite part of the day is telling you about his day

Thought you'd be jealous of Kiyoko but he ends up jealous when you say you find her attractive too

Prefers phone calls over texts

Always cheers you on in your endeavours

Makes sure to say that he's grateful of how supportive you are about his obsession w volleyball (he feels guilty for prioritising team over you sometimes)

Laid back and not much of physical touch person (not that you both are shy, but that's just how it is)

A very mature relationship where both of you want to be tg for long

Always tries to spend quality time w you after practice

He's sometimes so tired from practice he gladly falls asleep in your lap

Would literally run and kiss you hard after a great match/ fruitful practice

Loves talking about his younger teammates as well as some opponents he's befriended

Sawamura is grateful the vice captain he leans on has someone too

Runs his hand through your hair and smiles a lot

You once washed and packed his uniform & sports gear for him, he was over the moon, wouldn't stop bragging about it to his teammates

You both gossip a little about Michimiya's crush on Sawamura for fun

Gets flustered & looks at you a lot if he's not playing on the court when you come to cheer

You once asked to try on his jersey so he's now very careful to not get it sweaty and smelly so you can wear it a lot

Tanaka & Nishinoya tease him a little about how whipped he is for you

Doesn't plan anything like cheesy couple outfits, but would absolutely wear one if you ask him to

Gently affectionate but not very big on PDA

You once dabbed his sweat after a match and he swore his heart was about jump out from his throat

More romantic and emotional intimacy than physical

Lets you paint his nails and keeps them even if his friends say the mismatched colours look funny

Cups your cheek a lot

Loves loves loves receiving cheek & forehead kisses

Too stunned to speak when you give him any gifts

You both stargaze quite a bit everytime you meet at night after his practices

All this cuteness & STILL it's the J Dent toothpaste product placement that got me lmao🤣🤣🤣

rewatching the vice versa episode and still trying to cope with the fact that puen really imagined a whole ass scenario where talay moved in with him.. like he really said 'if we lived together we'd be watching movies and i'd make popped rice for you. then i'd use your hand to feed myself, and you'd use my hand to feed yourself, and i'd suggest we ate something else, and you'd say we should get ready for bed. then we'd brush our teeth together, and you'd put toothpaste on my toothbrush, and i'd basically call you my boyfriend, and i'd very much want to kiss you'

and talay was basically like 'cool story, bro, but that sounds like we would fuck at the end'

MEANWHILE IM JUST SITTING HERE YELLING AT MY SCREEN LIKE PUEN WANTS TO MARRY YOU TALAY WHAT'S NOT CLICKING

barbie movie is releasing soon & i just remembered an anecdote from my childhood.

i grew up in a conservative town where gender roles & stereotypes were barely questioned. my neighbor was a boy. he was 5. i was 8. he walked into our living room as i was watching the beginning of barbie princess charm school. my grandmother came after a while & asked if he watched barbie & not ben 10.

"omg she's so cool she wiped the tables, cooked & served customers so fast in 10 seconds she's a superhuman!!" he exclaimed & continued watching as long as his attention span of a 5 y/o could take.

misogyny is not inherent. misogyny is taught. understand that.

Idk what to call it but Karasuno is likened to crows & 'kage' (ಕಾಗೆ) in kannada language means crow... Their setter's name is literally 'Kage'yama.

How Kim & WIK were 2 different people until Porchay came along.

Part 2/4

Now that we have identified his 2 personalities let's go back a to where all the trouble started.

Kim being surprised that an experienced bodyguard like Big was replaced with a newbie due to his injury. The more he learnt about the preferential treatment Prosche received from both Kinn & Korn, he immediately smelled something fishy. So he decides to do the background check Korn deliberately didn't.

When he discovers Porchay is Porsche's brother he doesn't hesitate to take advantage of his fanboy. He never intended to be cruel, he considered it an exchange for the time he would invest in tutoring.

Disclosing that Kim & WIK are 2 sides of the same coin was a calculated move. He knew that the Kittisawads & Theerapanyakuls' fates would only get more intertwined in future. (Also notice how Kim mentions "sad love song" to Big in their conversation. Could that mean he knew about Big's feelings for Kinn without anyone telling?) However, he is not subtle in ways (lucky Kim that Porchay was too näive to suspect) possibly due to lack of social engagement.

Kim's only miscalculation was his budding feelings for Porchay. He is barely in touch with his feelings to be able to do something before it's too late. We see Kimhan smiling only when he discovers Chay fanboying over him (the texts & his room wall) or when Chay is singing. So it is not Kim, but WIK the artist & tutor falling for Porchay.

So in essence, Kim asked him to write a song on Porsche but WIK fell in love with the song. WIK asked him to write a love song & WIK fell in love with Chay.

Kimhan doesn't even realize his feelings until he can't help but smile at the song dedicated for him. (Let's just take a moment to appreciate it 🤭)

He acknowledges his feelings for the first time when the thought of Porchay clears his creative block. After all, for an artist, you know you're in love when they become your muse.

He is well aware that he has to stop seeing Porchay so that both their feelings don't get hurt. But WIK takes over Kim when Porchay shyly confesses. (Seriously, as if he wasn't cute enough already - Porchay reveals he promised God he would risk confessing to his celebrity crush. How could someone NOT melt at that innocence)

For the first time in the series we see Kim follow his heart over his head like most humans. Considering he let himself feel happy despite his overly practical self. It goes a long way to highlight the intensity of his feelings.

Like a well crafted character his personality doesn't change overnight. His original habits resurface very soon.

He stares at his own hand in happiness mingled with guilt. Yes he would love to vow to protect Porchay's innocent sunshine smile & teenage dreams. Forever. But he hates himself. Because he can't. Nothing can help him escape his reality. He's a Theerapanyakul. He's a threat to anyone he loves. He's not allowed to love.

He feels unworthy of someone who says "I love you" without expecting anything in return. He hates himself for letting himself be happy & forget all this worries. He would have left Porchay with a note that day if not for the mishap.

Part 3

Part 4

I think it was very smart on Tinn's part to give the garland to the other band during the competition, because not only did it help him keep up the façade of friendly-bantering relationship he has going on with Gun, but also helped in boosting Gun and his band's confidence (because of the audience vote). Also, the fact that other contestants would not blame him for "favoritism", since they had seen him interacting with the band before the competition.

Like, the boy knows that he is not that close with Gun to help him in any other way than the whole tsundere thing.

Also, how has Gun not noticed Tinn's crush??? LIKE BOY, he's a blushing mess around you, how have you not noticed???

The fact that Puen still goes by "Tun" with Talay despite spending months together hints a bit of self disgust.

It's like Puen is jealous of his own success. Initially he must have been genuinely concerned about privacy. From literally the second day it's evident that Talay does not know much about films or actors. He couldn't guess his name. Even a casual fan would have guessed with those hints.

Celebrity disease is unlikely considering Puen's personality in the real world. However, Puen's actions can still be justified saying he doesn't want to be idolised.

Since the series hasn't ended, it's worth speculating if he has a suspicion if who Talay is. Here's a theory.

Think about it. He met Talay, love at first sight, not once but twice, by fate. Puen could've obtained Talay's contact from a crew member. On reaching out, he must have met Tess in Talay's body who might not have responded well. There's a chance it made him sad enough to get drunk & the next thing, he's met with an accident. But now. Now he meets Talay in the alternate world. Some dots vaguely start connecting. Now he needs to ensure his fame doesn't get in the way. He wants to see the real Talay.

Even this intention can't be justified as of ep6 considering how much they have endured together. They know each other's likes, dislikes, about Puen being done with his fame, about Talay's dreams & fears.

Puen is just fucking scared of rejection at this point & nothing else. It's been so long, revealing himself now would shake things up no matter what. So he hides behind excuses such as scriptwriting to justify his flirting. Sometimes he doesn't even give a decent answer.

It really makes me wonder if he's even interested to go back to his real life at this point. Maybe he likes to be Pakorn with loving parents & friends like Up, Aou & Talay as Tess who he can hit on without worrying about others. He now has a community of people who travelled universes. No one puts him on a pedestal.

He's terrified of his own fame. Worried that it will create distance. That Talay will stop looking at him as an equal.

He must have encountered a lot of people trying to take advantage of his status. He's probably unsure if he's indeed loveable as the whole person he truly is. He could also be afraid his celebrity status will just hurt the ones he loves if both return to the real world.

He needs to have faith in Talay's capability to love him, to accept him as a playful clingy boy who's also a public figure.

He's hidden himself for so long, grown to love Talay so much with time.... that now if Talay can't accept him as a whole.... He'll be heartbroken much more than before. And worse, Talay will be too.
