#it's weak

Matt, obviously. he talks like he reads the dictionary for fun (because Matt Johnson does, nerd), and I believe that if he has downtime in between planning, executing, rehearsing, playing video games, and Thinking About Jay, like... he's definitely not got the time to finish 100+ books a year but he gets through a couple. I could see him being like, "BIRD! I've got it! I just finished reading Macbeth--have you read this thing? fucking crazy shit" and it just. works. (also. the plan is can we kill Vic Valence and inherit the Rivoli and Jay's like... that literally makes no sense. shut up)

but Matt... like, definitely nothing contemporary because that would require he actually seem to be participating in the present day world, but he's reading!!

and I can picture Jay like whining in high school like "our teacher wants us to read Animal Farm, can you f*cking believe this, MJ?" and Matt's like "oh yeah, it's a pretty cool one." and it's like. Yeah, Matt's younger than you and he's already read it, Jay! ALSO. girl. it's like. ~100 pages. get over yourself

he ends up... literally just skimming the CliffsNotes. he barely passes his English class

and, god, Jay realizes like, sometimes he can just be like "so, Matt, what do you know about this book?" and get Matt to just explain it for him instead of reading it, but even then. he'll get distracted thinking about like. "huh. the scene Matt's describing is actually really cool. you could picture it with really dramatic score underneath. kind of... quiet at first..." and then you've completely lost him to Piano Thoughts, sorry

but it's a really kind of special dynamic between them that's already there, that Matt, the impulsive, bold, passively suicidal one who is kind of Insane is also. the booksmart one. Jay's brain knows Piano. Video Game. Matt. Movies. and he has no room for anything else

Matt would make him watch the movie adaptations of books he really liked so Jay gets it but he's then commenting like "it was different in the book" and Jay's like "dude! I can't hear the movie!"

Fr mod bc yes I ship Latvia and Liechtenstein together even though they haven’t interacted once

No offence to the anon at all but it seems boring to only ship characters together if they’ve interacted before😙

J: I’m saying this myself but the relation between the 3 members of Prince is good. The two of them are funny and make me laugh so that alone is healing, I feel love. When I’m with Iwahashi and Kishi-kun I light up. Thank you for the nonchalant days. I’m sure our fans also enjoy our work complete with this atmosphere of us 3. I can’t say it well but I think this “no less, no more”, the balance we have now is the best so if we could preserve our relationship as it is now it would be good. Maybe you can’t tell if you look from the outside but there’s a distance that is just right that we can sense. So I want to grow together without destroying it while also appreciating solo work and alone time. 

I: The dancing and singing ability is gained by hard work and experience but the bond between the members is something you can’t get that way. That is why the bond and the relationship we have now is an asset and I think it’s something nobody but Prince has. Our relationship is essentially the same whether it’s at work on in private. It’s exactly as our fans imagine. (laugh) So when the 3 of us are working together there’s no bitterness at all. I absolutely wouldn’t want to see Jinguji and Kishi just for work, I always want us to be exactly as we are now. When we’re talking about silly things, just the fact that we can be together like this and with the 2 of them it feels natural, makes me very happy. No many how many years pass, the 2 of them are someone who I shall remember my whole life.
