Dude, why does this happen to me so much?
I'm gonna go ahead and blame my dad for this one.
Yesterday morning: I call up my dad while waiting for my ride to work (which didn't come, but that's another story). And for some reason he decides to bring up Arashi, but he calls them "your sparkly vampire boyband" which makes me immediately take offense, becuase, um, TWILIGHT, and no one compares Arashi to Twilight around me because I will cut a bitch.
So I very quickly correct him. Apparently, he doesn't even know what Twilight is, which makes me have a tiny bit of hope for humanity.
Anyway, my line of defense was that no, Arashi are NOT vampires, and sparkly they may be, but in a totally awesome, alive way. That never takes itself seriously, and that's the whole POINT, guys.
And then, that very same day, Nino decides to prove me wrong.
You see, that's the day the recent Music Lovers aired. And he is aging backwards again. I think he must be about thirteen by now, maybe twelve.
So of course, I innocently went to grab a quick cap or two, to voice my frustration (and joy) over this subject.
But you know me. I can't just grab a quick cap or two. I figured I was relatively safe because it was only an eight minute video and two minutes are ads, so it couldn't get that bad.
YOU GUYS, I GOT OVER FORTY CAPS FROM SIX MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME.(and two userpics but that's another story)
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Anyway, one twelve-year-old Nino above the cut, and picspam ahoy!
SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO WILL BE THIRTY IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS HOW???????
So the story behind that picture is that the female guest (an athlete, I think?) just said that Nino is her favorite. So of course he does the Nino thing:
And winks at the audience.
This doesn't fly with Athlete Lady, who quite rightly demands the wink be directed at her, since she earned it.
Athlete Lady, I like you.
Yes, I like you a lot.
I was going to crop this down to just her high-fiving Sho (seriously, who is she? She's awesome!) but then Aiba and Jun and Ohno and Nino and their FACES.
Some gratuitous Sakuraiba for your viewing pleasure.
Now it's time for...........
Yes, every single one of these nearly identical caps was absolutely necessary.
(mostly because of Ohno)
OH AIBA and how your jaw goes crooked when you talk and how your FACE and the tone of your voice and
and how your bottom teeth jut out and your neck and your necklace and
and how you always look slightly sheepish at the end of every sentence and how expressive your hands are and and and and
OH AIBA *collapses in a heap*
Because OHNO AND HIS FACE and how Nino is like EIGHT in this picture.
*points mutely at icon because all rational words have ceased*
omigod. OMIGOD.
I'm only sixteen pictures in.
OMIGOD.
And according to scrapbook, this next entire page (read: nearly sixteen pictures) is almost completely Ohmiya.
And these don't even fall under the "nearly identical caps" category, becuase they have SO many expressions in the next few seconds.
JUST WATCH:
Nino realizing that they are in DEEP trouble and Ohno not quite catching on yet, but he's about to.
Uh-oh
UH OH
LOOKING AT EACH OTHER TO SHARE THEIR MUTUAL APPREHENSION
Looking back to accept their doom
Ohno's face and Nino is eight again
OHNO'S FACE and Nino is still eight
Looking at each other AGAIN because at least they share equally in the guilt
Probably the most capped moment of this entire episode in the entire fandom, and I know I'm adding to the problem but Nino's eye peeking out from behind his hand is just NOT RESISTIBLE.
NEITHER IS OHNO PEEKING OUT FROM BEHIND HIS HAND AND BITING HIS LIP
AND THEN THEY ARE BOTH PEEKING.
Tell me you would have had better self-control.
GO AHEAD, I DARE YOU.
Ohno actually TALKING because someone needs to make excuses and Nino is eight.
AND NINO IS EIGHT, OKAY?
Also he is hiding behind his hand again, and this is the best thing ever.
Interlude for Sho to accost us with his pretty and his neck porn.
DUDE, THAT'S NOT A FAIR METHOD OF ATTACK. CHEATER, CHEATER!
Okay, he might be as old as thirteen in this picture.
AND THEN AIBA AND HIS CROWS FEET AND HIS FACE AND HIS SMILE AND HIS NECK AND HIS HAIR AND HIS AIBA
syntax what syntax
Nope, not thirteen. Definitely no older than eight.
A Neen facepalm. If not for the obscuring text, this would also have been a new userpic... ah, what could have been!
For contrast: A man who is supposedly somewhat younger than Nino.
A very pretty dorky man, at that. But he actually LOOKS A BIT LIKE HE'S 28
And now, I leave you with this. A dude cradling Neen like the baby he is.
Dear lord I hope this works, since the preview button has mysteriously disappeared from the post an entry screen, so I have no idea if my html is totally borked or what. Good luck, me!
GOOD NIGHT, WHETHER YOU ARE A TINY BABY-NEEN OR A MYTHICAL ADULT NEEN OR JUST SOMEONE WHO LUSTS AFTER BOTH OF THEM (those are the three categories of the world, everyone is at least one of those three)
