#jjr

James is jealous of Jeremy and Richard's closeness.

I know I'm on hiatus right now but I really want to complain about this

It's a bit personal cause it's not entirely about jjr/sih, but I seriously wish jjr/sih is still an active, ongoing series. I believe sih is still ongoing and so is jjr, but they're basically dead. Why are we getting a new volume/chapter after, like, a decade? Don't burn me at the stake, maybe it's regularly updating and I'm just not in the loop, but damn do I wish it was more popular.

The fandom is absolutely dead, like 12 people max are posting about it on Tumblr and even if you stumble upon an abundance of something jjr/sih on another site like pixiv or deviantart, it's either from 2015 or it simply doesn't exist.

I want to be apart of an active fandom to engage with the fans and, yk, be assured that someone will actually see what I post, but I genuinely can't get into anything lol. I'm not interested in jjk, chainsaw man, gachiakuta, witch hat atelier, or any of the currently super popular animes with active fandoms, and I'm mildly interested in stuff like bllk, tshd, ace attorney, mha (even though I had a raging obsession with it up until season 5, but given I kind of stopped consuming its media since then I feel like I'm not "qualified" enough to fit in especially given the development of all the characters I just feel like there's alot I need to take in to make a proper statement/opinion and not be sent death threats over)

I have no idea what to fucking do I'm TIRED

I want engagement with other fans, I want content to consume, I want funny ongoing jokes and hcs and ideas, I want fanfics and au's, I want to gush over stuff that is popular and known I love jjr and sih to death but no one exactly knows two bl animes from the 2000 outside of Tumblr and very few other apps/sites

Finally, some more Junjou Romantica fanart!

So I was going through some old art and found some old Junjou Romantica fanart I drew back in 2012! (I was 17)

There was some other fanart I was trying to find, but couldn't, but I thought it'd be fun to share this!

A lot of the Junjou Romantica fanart I drew back then was actually fanart for the fanfic I wrote at that time, which was this historical one that took place in 1847 but was VERY European centric lol.

Also did some digital pieces for my fic!

Which is insane to look at now, vs how what I've done recently of these guys!

All of these are both flavours I think the chars would get aswell as flavours I think they'd be! c( :

Usami: coffee gelato

• I know he doesn't like sweets, but he'd indulge Misaki if he asked, but this man doesn't exactly strike me as an ice cream flavor more so a gelato typa guy, so he's gonna be coffee gelato as it's not too sweet!! (He likes the silkier texture)

Misaki: red bean ice cream

• He adores taiyaki and he seems like a more "Japanese" man, so he probably adores "classic" flavors like red bean ice cream and matcha whsuswj

He alternatively seems like he'd like melon sorbet/ice cream *⁠･⁠゜ﾟ⁠(⁠^⁠O⁠^⁠)⁠↝

Nowaki: coconut gelato

• I was in Italy last year and had coconut gelato and it had the silkiest milky coconut flavor and texture and it was so sweet but not overbearingly so and it immediately made me think of Nowaki, so he's coconut gelato!! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Hiroki: dark chocolate soft serve

• Again, he doesn't strike me as an ice cream dude but he's not the type to just settle for vanilla or plain frozen yogurt, so he's dark chocolate soft serve with chocolate shavings yum c( :

Miyagi: salted caramel ice cream

• His late teacher loved that flavor so he started asking for it after her passing and he slowly grew to like it! I tried salted caramel before and I think the sweet but bitter taste fits Miyagi alot 🙆🏻‍♀️

Shinobu: cabbage ice cream Mint choco, lemon ice cream

• I feel like he'd especially like the different flavours of ice cream they put on those crepes in harajuku because of how well they go with the whipped cream and chocolate drizzles <⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠> He always tries to act so tough but he's actually so cute like wdym you like mint chocolate ice cream crepes with chocolate wafers and whipped cream and chocolate drizzle and sliced strawberries

Others 😛

Eri Aikawa: white chocolate ice cream!

Usami Fuyuhiko: wouldn't glance at ice cream with a quarter of his eye

Usami Haruhiko: store-bought grape popsicles. Saw Misaki with a grape popsicle in hand once, tried it, loved it, and spent the entire summer sending entire stocks of grape popsicles to Misaki.

Kyo Ijuuin: The cheap vanilla ice cream found on banana splits. Ironically tried one with Yanase and genuinely loved it

Todo: Something absurd like sriracha or soy sauce octopus flavor because he saw it in a Za Kan volume,,,,, Yes, Misaki does infact split his takoyaki ice-cream with him every time

Usami Kaoruko: Raspberry ice cream (cakes) she forces her patissier to teach her how to make

Shiiba Mizuki: Raspberry ice cream. For no specific reason. Like, totally, nothing at all. Oh, it's the same as Kaoruko's? Pure coincidence 🙂‍↕️👀🙂‍↕️
