can you rank fir smallant couriway and feinberg by their aegyos bc they’re obviously the cutest in their respective friend groups
obsessed with this question anon ty!
now DON'T GET ME WRONG, i think couri is naturally cute so (from what i've seen) he doesn't really do aegyo. he is just Like That. he's cute, but doesn't do aegyo.
i'm thinking of the clip where he saw feinberg on camera and got really excited and his voice went high and he was like "hi feinberg!!!!!!" VERY cute. but not aegyo. he's just cute. and wiggles his hips. and doesn't mind crossdressing. good for him.
now, smant does do aegyo, and it is quite cute, but not as cute as his competitors. i'm thinking of his pink croc swag during a mail opening stream/video (very very old), but also he has tried to look cute on stream and he is! i think for me this collides with his hot-nerd vibe - which doesn't cancel out aegyo cuteness don't get me wrong - but it makes him more generally Attractive than specifically Cute. if you get me
the difference between smant and feinberg aegyo though is that while smant has a hot nerd thing going on for him, feinberg doesn't. i say this in the kindest way possible: feinberg is not a hot nerd in the way that smant is, he is kind of the epitome of stereotypical mountain dew drinking raging at video games at 2am doesn't know how to monitor the volume of his voice and doesn't care type of gamer nerd, and his appearance also leads credence to this.
BUT what this means is that his aegyo is actually much more charming than smant's. while smant's aegyo is like, oh he's attractive in another way that he's already attractive! with feinberg it's like. wait. his minecraft colors are light blue and pink? he does aegyo on the regular? he likes being cute? this is the same guy???????
and that, to me, makes for an even more successful aegyo than smallant's. his gap moe.

alas, i have to put my fave boy fir here at the top. he is just the epitome of cute overall in terms of appearance and vibe, and when he tries to be cute on purpose (in a way that couri does not try), my cuteness aggression goes THROUGH THE ROOF. top tier aegyo. no one can do it like him. he's the only one of these guys who i've actually made gifs of with his aegyo. and i think that says enough
