So, I was going to ease off the caps this time around. But then I watched Arashi no Shukudai-kun #46 and Aiba and Jun, like, stood next to each other a lot. orz I'm weak to that kind of thing. But they're all thumbnailed and, okay, so maybe I over-emphasize the Aibajun, except I~ don't~ care~~ (Almost s-seventy caps i-isn't a lot, right?)
♥ - ...................
I'm sorry, what? *stares at*
Did... Aiba not only just give Jun underwear for his birthday, not only give him thongs and leopard print underwear, did... did Aiba just share underwear with Jun?
I... the first time I read through with only the quick summaries, I seriously laughed myself sick for about three minutes.
Then the more detailed summaries were commented with and now I'm just sort of sitting here and staring.
Th... that's just t-totally heterosexual, you guys. N... n-never change, okay? ♥__♥
♥ - So, the
Happiness preview has been making the rounds and nnnnnnggghhhh I WANT IT SO BAD. HAPPY RETARDED DORKS. AIBA TRYING TO EAT NINO'S HEAD. REALLY REALLY GAY OHMIYA. OHNO AND JUN HOLDING HANDS. SHO AND OHNO POKING AT EACH OTHER. AIBA WITH A PUPPY LICKING HIS FACE.
I APPROVE OF ALL OF THIS.
I APPROVE SO HARD.

nianna (on Vox) draws some of the cutest Arashi comics and every so often I go back to look through them and just today I noticed she was doing a series of "Loving DoS" comics and asd;lfkjasdlkjfs I AM SERIOUSLY DYING OF CUTE OVERLOAD. I started with
#21 and little chibi Jun's expression in the final panel is so hilarious that I kind of shrieked with laughter a little and then promptly had to go tear through the rest of her journal.
Then
#19 caught my love with happy retarded Aiba and Jun going ~____~ at him. And
#17 made me crack the hell up because asd;lfkjasdlfkjsdlj YES.
But honestly? Deeply and truly.
#15 is the one that made me cry with laughter the hardest. Every time I look at it, I just start laughing all over again. It's so great.
(Oh, my god, I seriously want to link to, like, ALL OF THEM, because
#11 also just made me cry with laughter. It's like. It's a four panel comic with adorable chibi art and the artist is so great at getting across everything that makes me love Arashi. They are retarded dorks who love each other. Awesome.)
....no, no, one more and then I'll end this segment.
#7 OH MY GOD YES YES YES FAVORITE ONE EVER. *MELTS INTO PILE OF GOO*
She's also done a bunch of Nino ones and they are also so cute and adslfjasdlfkjs I cried with laughter so many times yet again.
♥ - So, I'm watching
Arashi no Shukudai-kun #46 this morning and it looked like it'd be a solid episode, very cute, but not necessarily something I'd make ear-piercing screeches over. Even when, about two minutes in, Jun pats Aiba on the back for absolutely no reason, I thought, well, I'm just making something out of nothing there. And I knew that, it was just a friendly pat on Aiba's shoulder, despite that there was no cause for it that I could really tell, it's not like Aiba said anything or needed it in particular, I don't think? Just. It's my darling pairing and I watch Jun way too closely whenever he's on the screen (I can't help it! It's an addiction. :<) and I like making note of any time someone touches Jun because it tends to mean more.
Whatever, it was a tiny little thing. And then Nino totally had his arm around Ohno while they were leaning in to listen to Sho reading off the letter/list that the guest gave them and I got distracted by that.
Also, I was distracted by Jun's awesome pants. Are they shining? .......ilu matsujun.
As well as Jun's rings. OH MY GOD LOOK AT THOSE RINGS OW OW OW OW THEY WOULD HURT SO MUCH OW.
But... as the episode wore on, I started watching Aiba and Jun again and there were several times where the two of them were awfully touchy-feely. Not in a really overt way, but little things, like patting each other on the back a lot, the high-five, etc. Enough that I wound up taking almost a hundred caps of this episode, jesus christ I have a problem.
It's just one of those things where they seem to be getting along really well right now (I've read a few concert reports or second-hand concert reports that seem to indicate they've been kinda touchy-feely there as well?), in a really understated sort of way and that's not so much out of the ordinary as... it makes me happy and glowy.
Other things that make me happy and glowy about this episode--well, happy and ready to potentially kill a lung with the laughing--are ARASHI GAMES AGAIN. Tying ribbons around Sho's legs so he can only shuffle as fast as he can across the floor! Making Nino do it, too! The female guest being CUTE AS A BUTTON when it's her turn!
Aiba + Jun team-up to play tug of war against the other side with a piece of string! The female guest (from Every Little Thing) totally taunting Jun and his ~*~DEATH GLARE~*~ in return! THAT IS NEVER NOT FUNNY.
Arashi Janken'ing to see who'll do the final game! Jun's totally, totally enthusiastic, "Yatta. ~_~" when he's chosen! It being like Christmas for the line-ups for me! Aibajun and Ohno+Jun in these games? EXCELLENT.
Ohno and Jun winning the game and yet they try to make Jun do the happy frog impression again anyway! AND NINO. OH MY GOD I LOVE NINO AND JUN SO MUCH. When Nino tried to make him do the impression and Jun shoved him, you could tell that Jun dearly wished there were a cliff he could push Nino off right that second. And of course Aiba is the one to talk to him immediately before Jun caves in and agrees to do the impression and asdlasldkj of course it's Aiba that helps get him to do something embarassing and then asd;lfkjasdlf THEY ALL DO IT.
EXCELLENT.
God, Arashi are such good sports even when they win, no wonder everyone that works with them love them so much. I loved this episode, all the batshit games episodes are great and it's just... it's even better when I get nearly all my favorite pairings crammed into the one episode. *violently heartmarks*
(Seriously, if any of you bastards loved me, you'd write me backstage Nino/Jun bitchy sex. <3__<3)
There are so many things to love about this episode. Jun randomly tying his headband around his wrist to be all fashionable instead of like everyone else wearing theirs around their heads! Jun's SHINY PANTS. Jeans would have looked fine with that shirt he was wearing BUT NO. MATSUJUN HAS TO HAVE SHINY PANTS.
I definitely recommend this episode. Just... j-just ignore the way I took a cap of Aiba and Jun every five seconds it's not really that much about them, just that I noticed they were touching each other a lot.
And... a-and they looked pretty. I'm weak to when they look pretty. I just can't help myself from hitting that Alt+F combination and then uploading it, because my journal isn't Arashified enough until I literally have about 700 screencaps tucked away in galleries. (If it's easier, the
index is here. Thank Christ for LJ letting me have 2GB of room or I'd totally be crying for space.)
....h-here, have some more random caps of the end.
