Dear Akame Fandom,
Look. I love Akame. No, really, like, I love Akame. I love them together and I love them apart. And yes, I do believe they give little "hints" or what the majority of the fandom calls "evidence." That's not to say I honestly believe Kame and Jin are madly in love with each other, but I do believe that they are friends and probably very amused with the power they have over us when they're together.
Anyway, let's discuss what counts as "evidence" and what is just the majority of the fandom being annoyingly dillusional.
This picture is not Akame evidence. This is not proof that Akame are soulmates. It is not proof that they don't hate each other anymore or that they're going to fuck as soon as the camera is gone.
This is simply a magazine photographer positioning his two subjects in a somewhat intimate pose. It's not like the photographer was all, "Ok, you guys stand how you want to and I'll just take pictures!" No, they're sitting like that because they were told to sit like that.
Probably the most annoying thing about this fandom: Akame wearing the same shirt/necklace/hat/glasses/socks/etc.
Now, pay attention: UNLESS THEY ARE WEARING THE ITEM AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS NOT EVIDENCE.
If my friend likes my shirt, I will let her borrow it. There are pictures of me wearing the shirt and then pictures of her wearing the shirt. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT MY FRIEND AND I ARE DEEPLY, DEEPLY IN LOVE. Same with Akame. If anything, it means they're friends. Which, yeah, but I think we, as a fandom, are past the stage where we need to look for evidence that the two are friends. BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE.
Or... it could just mean that their wardrobe people have a limited amount of supplies.
Seriously. Kame wearing a shirt in a magazine and then Jin wearing the same shirt in a magazine FOUR MONTHS LATER is not evidence of anything except the fact that the magazine people are TOO CHEAP TO BUY A NEW SHIRT.
The only way I will except matching accessories/clothes as "evidence" is if they're worn AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME SHOW/PHOTOSHOOT/CONCERT.
Like that.
And because that picture reminds me... If Kame or Jin wears a pinky ring (one that is different then the one they're wearing in that photo), IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY'RE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER. People wear pinky rings. GET OVER IT. Unless they're wearing the same ring at the same time, there is no reason for you to flip out and spam the Akame comm with your "evidence" BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVIDENCE. a;lskdgj;alsdkjg;alsdkfjasdf
Also, yes, Jin has a staring problem when it comes to Kame. It's not just stupid fangirls being delusional. HE REALLY DOES. But I see so many posts on the Akame comm with pictures of Jin with his head turned in Kame's general direction, but either his line of sight is SO OBVIOUSLY not directed at Kame or Jin is wearing sunglasses, so it's impossible to tell what he's looking at. DRAWING
A PINK ARROW WITH LITTLE HEARTS (:D) CONNECTING JIN'S EYES TO KAME IS NOT PROOF THAT THEY'RE IN LOVE. Most of the time, it's not even proof that they're looking at each other.
And finally. I know there was a post in the Akame comm about them sitting close on the latest Utaban. THAT IS NOT EVIDENCE EITHER. All six of them plus the hosts don't have that much space at that table. Yeah, the fact that Akame were so close physically is great. It's good that they're comfortable enough with each other to not care about personal space, but that's not proof of anything other than their friendship, WHICH WE DON'T NEED PROOF OF BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY FRIENDS NOW SO GET THE FUCK OVER IT AND WRITE ME SOME GODDAMN PORN!
*ahem*
With Love,
~kimi-no-koe
Edit: P.S. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, KAME IS NOT A GIRL!!! KLAJSHGLKASJDFASDKF STOP WRITING HIM AS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So. Yes. I think I've said all I need to say. I haven't seen the latest Cartoon KAT-TUN for the last three months, so I'll go do that. Maybe I'll come flail later. *shrugs*
