Talk about Teal Deer

[renge_kun]

I adore your birthday tributes! And your icons - fantastic as usual. I took several (including some from your previous Kimura HBD post, as you can see). My favorite has to be #16, but I'm not sure which to use yet. As a new fan, it's a bit of a task (though one done with love) to experience and understand - as much as a fan can - all the sides of his personality, and also to compartmentalize those facets into an icon that has to jockey for space with all my other loves
. Should I chose sexy Kim? Dorky Kim? Contemplative Kim? Older or younger? I have settled on a sexy/dorky combo, for the time being. XD

I can relate to your story. Since my induction into the JE fandom in 2007, I have heard his name and seen his face a kabillion or two times. Maybe three years ago, I decided to watch Long Vacation, just to see what all the kids were fussing about. Though I agreed that he was absolutely gorgeous, I assumed, for reason, that his personality was just like his character's, which for me was not a positive thing. For three years or so, I carried this prejudice that he was aloof, reserved, and maybe a bit cold, and probably would not subject himself to anything that would make him look like an idiot. BOY was I wrong, and wonderfully so. In one of the very first SMAP videos I saw, in probably August of this year, he was open and friendly and laughing that laugh. I have since enjoyed seeing the range of his abilities/personality, including especially those that don't contribute to his cool/sexy image. He's not my ichiban (though I don't know why - my ichiban, Shingo-bb, while exceedingly fuckable and adorable, says a lot of stupid shit sometimes), I'm coming to love him all the same.

SORRY, SOOPER TL;DR. Thank you again for the icons and the lolz.

Bawww, shucks. Thanks, you! <33 Lol, I definitely have strong feelings for 16 too. Everybody in 007 looks good, and putting Kim in a cowboy hat just gets me. And omg yessssss. It's so difficult forcing an icon to play the role of these boys when they have so many sides we adore and yet we're being forced to squish them into a literal box and guhhh, must admit, sexy/dorky Kim is my favourite Kim so that's never a bad choice, lol. ;DD

I have yet to see LV i know, i know, tsktsk, but it just doesn't really lure me in especially when i still have other more recent things to catch up on and i'm very much biased to older!kimura for the most part, lol - the main reason i want to watch it though is to get all the references~, but that seemed to be the intro for a lot of people and most of them have stuck around so it can't be too bad of a thing. But that's interesting! I always wonder how that happens, y'know? How we sort of project their characters onto them and the way that sort of toys with our feelings. I'M SO HAPPY YOU GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE MORE REAL HIM ESPECIALLY THAT LAUGH. <33 I find they all manage to charm our butts off, even they're not our ichiban (LOL, oh Shingo, he was my initial bias for my first few months since yes, he's very much fuckable and adorable and just so funny and pahaha, sometimes he can say things that just make you drop your head in shame, so I totally understand!).

Psssh, I love tl;drs if you haven't noticed already, so don't worry about it! It's totally not a problem, thanks for giving me some of your story, I love reading about these sorts of things. :33
