My Hypothesis Is That In Like 10 Years Gen Z Is Gonna Have A Big Cult Boom The Way The Boomers Did In

Nanashima and Shinomiya (7x4/4x7): The Real BL Couple of Kiss Him, Not Me

Since the manga ended a couple of months ago and there has yet to be a 2nd season, I was exhilarated by the news of Junko penning another special chapter dedicated to Nanashima and Shinomiya’s reunion mid-timeskip. Now that the chapter is out and they have officially become canon, I’ve taken the liberty of re-reading the manga to take note of the goodies Junko provided for us.

NOTE: This is not meant to invalidate the other relationships in the series! We all have our preferences when it comes to pairings, and it’s fun to pick apart and identify what we love about them! So if this ship is not your thing and you are more inclined toward other ships, feel free to ignore and scroll past, simple as that! <3 But in case you’re interested, hell yeah :) 

Keep in mind though that this is only my personal opinion and in no way am I stating that what I say is canon or completely accurate so if you disagree, that’s totally fine! Everyone has different interpretations of a series and its characters. But any aggressive comments against my POV will be promptly blocked.

WARNING: Contains manga spoilers past Chapter 29! And blatant signs that I am just reading too much into shit. Also use of TV Tropes logic.

Nanashino may not be the deepest relationship in the series as most of their scenes together are for comedic effect but they have some cute behind-the-scenes interactions worth looking into a second time.

Keep in mind that this will not be 100% objective as it is Nanashino-centric for the most part but I do hope the points as to why Nana and Shino work for me as a couple come across.

Bonus with Peter: 

Peter babysits while Derek and Stiles went on a date.

beside you is the safest place 😴

Your vibe is oddly bitter and reeks of insecurity

sounds like someone needs to go in the water

this has been sitting in my drafts for months, i initially intended to post around senku’s bday but never found the energy to finish it but then like a week ago someone posted saturn in gc and WELP here we are

Can't believe Peter Griffin really tried it.

I sprained my arm awhile back so this took me awhile to finish. I can draw again now, but slowly….

Yet again a plotline they know how to write but didn't:

"Mike spends time with El that sparks platonic jealousy of her from a friend of his"

Season 1 Lucas vs Season 4 Will. Lucas is platonically jealous. Will is romantically jealous.

Lucas is jealous because Mike is spending more time with El, which he perceives romantically.

Will is jealous because Mike is spending more time with El, which he perceives romantically.

The romantic nature of the relationship they're jealous isn't what differentiates the nature of the jealousy. Both watch a romantic interaction between them from afar upset - Will in 4x02 at the roller rink and Lucas in 1x03 for the "I understand" scene. So why, then, is Lucas' jealousy platonic but Will's romantic. It isn't. They're identical. Except for one key detail I have strategically omitted.

Mike. Lucas and Will behave near identically. They are sad, gazing from afar, and irritable about the topic, fighting with both Mike and one other friend on the topic (Dustin, El).

But Mike only behaves abnormally in one scenario: Will's. Season 1 is a miscommunication - Lucas thinks Mike is prioritizing El over Will but really, he's just prioritizing Will through El. But season 4 is not that. In season 4, he committedly ignores Will without explanation for a full day before defending that any two friends who didn't see each other for 8 months wouldn't keep in touch during that time.

It isn't romantic of Will to be jealous of El. It wasn't romantic of Lucas and we knew that. Mike is the one who made it out to be romantic because that's the conclusion he jumped to (defend) out of fear. It's just that we, trained by the writers like good little viewers to equate straight relationship to straight, listened to him.

Will acted with Mike exactly like Lucas did and that played as platonic. What happened wasn't that Will behaved differently. What happened was we noticed that something in their relationship was more romantic. We turned to where it was coming from, to see: Mike ..........frantically pointing us to Will.

In season 4 when he defended not keeping in touch, in season 3 when he brought up queerness in defense of an accusation towards Mike and Lucas on Dustin's behalf,

Mike set off our alarm bells. And Mike redirected us. (And ironically, that is what told on him.)

if we were dating we would be a unmovable chaotic force together

we would, bestie
