... aka this isn't all that well thought out, but I don't care because MaruDa is turning 30, and I want to love them a little more.
credit Technically this is also a little late, and I really won't mind if any and all activity carries past October 4th.
To celebrate the wonderful thing that is the bond of one Nakamaru Yuichi and Ueda Tatsuya, who have been giving us joy and shipping material for years now, I challenge you!
Comment to this post and spam pictures, give me your feelings, write fics, post fic ideas and prompts, answer those prompts, share your doujinshi, look for couple clothes, share conspiratorial theories, flail and cry on my shoulder because Ueda and Nakamaru will both be 30 in a month and they still look younger than you, give me reasons why I (I mean everyone) should ship them (more), invite your friends, have a party!
Anything goes, this post stays public, let's have fun! Let's have an awesome MaruDa month. (The idea was not mine, but I sure hope Levy and Seki forgive me for stealing it).
I promise to make a master post of things in comments so people do not have to look for it.
Need a little incentive?
Maruda and dress shirts, and
ties, and
more ties (and you know other polka dot men apparel), and
in leather jackets, and
Ueda making Nakamaru's PV that much better, and
Nakamaru telling you who really uses the whip in this relationship. And have MaruDa
reminding you just how long they have been the perfection they are. Even if
their radio made of awesome (and the related regular couple shoots) is no longer.
Have MaruDa serenading you because of course Nakamaru takes Ueda with him to his SCP performance.
Enjoy them
pimping each other's acting work in an interview or watch them
discuss hairstyles like it's serious business.
And top it off
with some lovely meta that makes you melt. Now it's your turn, I will encourage all and every notion of affection. Spread the word, have some fun.
