Matcha Blossom - Tumblr Posts

Honestly, I'm not big on social media and usually just lurk on tumblr, but this blog is basically anonymous and the sh!t going down with the Sk8 dub has me busting at the seams with commentary, so please excuse the 8 million analysis posts I may make in the next day...

So this has been rattling around in my head for a couple of weeks now, so sorry for the rant, but with the dub of ep. 8 dropping it's clear that the Sk8 dub cast and crew is actively and intentionally playing up the lgbt elements of the show:

- Langa's interaction with his mom is pretty explicit, granted beat for beat the sub is more or less the same

- the whole "Bitches, Bros, and NB Hoes" thing was COMPLETELY out of right field and didn't even have a correlation in the sub

- the VAs for Joe and Cherry stating they're reading their charachters with a *ahem* very specific dynamic in mind and actively, publicly shipping them AND renga

- the fact that Reki FINISHED HIS F*CKING SENTENCE in ep. 7 (granted it was kind of inconsequential, but it does show that they're willing to remove some of the ambiguity of the original script)

- The fact that they explicitly stated as such in the VA panel last night

All this genuinely makes me curious what the agreement Funimation and Bones came to with the dub. It really has me wondering if it was basically the creators at Bones saying "We clearly wrote this subtext in place, but given censorship laws here we need to leave it at that. You can expand on that for English audiences because you won't have the same restrictions" essentially allowing Funimation a degree of creative freedom with the dub when it comes to the extent of coding and and explicit representation in the show.

That being said, given how much more explicit the dialog is, if Bones or the original crew had a problem with the way Funimation was handling it, you would think they'd have pulled support or made some kind of statement by now. The only thing that concerns me here is that Ep. 8 and the panel were the most explicit the coding has been and they both happened pretty much yesterday, so we very well might see bones make a statement soon. They did mention in the stream that there were lines they were concerned with crossing, so hopefully some of the things said that night don't result in the VAs getting their wrists slapped. I hope that's not the case and that this is being supported internally, but I really don't have enough faith in our corporate overlords to actually have the best interests of the LGBT community at heart here.

Tl;dr Sk8 is great, the dub is great, it's hella gay, they know it, they are having fun with it and letting us have fun with it too

But presuming the ideal case (and to get back on a more positive note), I think there is an earnest desire for representation here that they are trying to meet within the framework of what the creators are permitted by the studios (which is where the real issue with healthy representation lies: it's the studios, not the artists... usually). And at the end of the day, even if there is no explicit statement of a relationship in the dub, I think the dub crew (and the original production in all honestly) crafted a great show that's fun, well produced, and provides a narrative that I think the writers and actors intentionally tried to make resonate with LGBT+ people and let us identify with while not pulling a bait and switch on us with a canon straight pairing at the end.

Y'all hate on the Sk8 ED palm trees but always fail to mention:

- Red and Blue outlines for Renga (even the heights match)

- Green trees and Pink sky for Matcha Blossom

We stan the ED in this house...

So yesterday I watched the Sk8 VA panel on twitch, and I wanted to highlight a very interesting point that David Wald (the VA for Ad*m) brought up about representation in media.

Basically, he said that the type of representation they're going for, while not explicit, is definitely there and presented in such a way that LGBT people can identify with it in a healthy way (well, unhealthy in the case of Ad*m, but I digress). We get it, it's there explicitly and intentionally for us, and if the straights want to stick their fingers in their ears and go "la la la" that's fine, who cares, they'll get a fun shonen romp thats well animated, directed, and acted.

But by going with this more subtextual, subtle route, he said that the media becomes more accessible and digestible to young people who might be in denial about their sexuality or gender identity. That by presenting representation in this way, you catch an audience of people who might be questioning themselves and would actively tune out as soon as things become explicit.

That moment was just... So powerful to me, and at that point it just... clicked. That's because I was that questioning gay kid growing up with no formative media to fall on, desperately trying to force myself into relationships with girls to feel normal because I thought it was weird to be gay with no one and nothing telling me it was alright. And I was the same kid who would feel guilty, embarrassed, and dissociative whenever I did see gay media representation and would tune it out immediately, not wanting other people to think I was gay just for watching it.

In all reality, I know we won't get an explicit, canon confession for either of the main ships (Although Jonah and Daman are two seconds from giving me a god damned heart attack and I love it). It is a bit disappointing, and healthy, canonical representation should be something we continue moving towards and pushing studios to allow, but the intent for good representation is there.

And what blows me away is that the VAs are actively playing with the ambiguity, the thing traditionally used to bait the queer community, to let us have those moments of representation, knowing that we won't have been baited through the reveal of an 11th hour straight pairing that invalidates the subtext. Not all representation needs to be explicit as long as there aren't canon contradictions to it.

And to David's point, if even one LGBT+ person who's in denial or is questioning looks at this show and feels a bit more normal and at ease with who they are because of it, even if they don't realize it then and there, then mission fucking accomplished

So I mentioned in previous post(s) that the Sk8 dub VAs had clear intent with how they read certain characters and how David Wald felt that ambiguity in representation can actually reach people who might be questioning their sexuality or gender identity more easily than explicit media where they might tune out as a defense mechanism - and by explicit here I mean "clearly in the text" not "NSFW"

Now this line of thought got the hamster wheel in my head running, so I decided to run with it. The more I thought about the limits of this theory, the more I came to the conclusion that ambiguous representation can still be fine as long as there isn't canon heteronormative content that invalidates the subtext.

I think Sk8, both the sub and (but primarily) the dub kind of stumbled into this a bit. This could have been intentional (which I feel is the case of the dub) or unintentional (which I feel is the case of the sub/original production) or a mix. But in either case I think it's a very interesting scenario to apply Queer Film Theory to (James Somerton did a fantastic video on that topic, you should give it a watch) and an interesting example of utilizing tools that have traditionally been used to bait the LGBT+ community in a way that lets us better identify with the media.

I bring this up because the ambiguity in the show can actually be a boon for the fandom because theres no explicit explanation in the text OR heteronormative contradictions to the way certain charachters act. In that way, people can read different qualities into all of the characters and they can all be equally valid:

- A NB reading of Cherry is just as valid as an Ace one

- An Ace reading of Langa is just as valid as a gay one

- A gay reading of Reki is just as valid as a Demi or a bi one

- A Bi reading of Joe is just as valid as a Poly one and so on

From an academic perspective I think this is absolutely fascinating in that so many people can relate to these characters and at the same time don't need to pretend that an aspect of the show doesn't exist (like a het pairing) to fit their reading of the character.

Now this doesn't mean that we in the LGBT community don't need explicit, healthy, and clear representation in media, we absolutely do; and that will only change with continued action and pressure on studios and by putting more LGBT+ people into creative postions. I'm also not saying that queerbaiting is okay, it absolutely isn't and studios and creators who do so are honestly despicable.

What I'm more saying is that there is potential power in ambiguity and that we as a community can still enjoy a piece of media that's largely subtextual and interpret it as healthy representation as long as it's handled with care for the community and there's an intentional and clear effort to do so, much like how the Sk8 dub VAs are handling this show.

The dedication this person has is just-🤌

/lh HBDJSJDK i was bored ............

Why do I 100% believe this happened?

Reki: so how did you and Cherry get together?

Joe: well it all started with a game of gay chicken when we were 14,

I want to draw dome Matchablossom Fanart but drawing Joe’s massive mommy milkers makes me nervous

Miya: what's up with Reki? He's been laying on the floor for like an hour.

Cherry: he's just a little overwhelmed.

Miya: why?

Joe: Langa giggled.

can we appreciate the old gays watching the young gays argue?

To the people who are getting annoyed with the shipping in sk8 I have one thing to say to you... ✨ignore it✨ it’s really not that hard you can block accounts that post shipping content, or you can simply not interact with the fandom at all. Posting shit like “I’m sick of this gay shit” is not only rude but lowkey (and when I say lowkey I mean high key) homophobic. And if you don’t know how I deal with homophobes look at my bio. Please stop harassing fan artists and fanfic writers they don’t deserve it. It takes like 30% of your energy to get stressed over this you wanna know how much energy you use when you ignore it and go on with your day? 0! If you’re someone who got triggered over this post then this isn’t a safe space for you. Don’t like it? Then leave ❤️. You wanna know who this is a safe place for? Fan artists/fanfic writers (as long as y’all don’t ship the kids with the adults or Miya with anyone [cause he’s deadass 13 guys it’s hella gross]) love y’all hope you have an amazing day 😘!

I have a semi important question

we all remember this iconic moment, right? With Miya calling Joe his dad and Cherry his mom? All I’m saying is Joe ate Cherry up with his eyes right then, and Miya KNEW it And then in this new episode

I know it’s weird because Reki is always with Langa and what have you but istg

Miya has the biggest gaydar on this anime and he’s like 14, this kid has consumed too much queer eye, both Matchablossom AND Langa in the span of two episodes? Miya really said “👀”

Joe: The move that took down Cherry!

UM, THAT HAS A NAME AND IT’S “AGGRAVATED ASSAULT”

WAIT A SECOND I KNOW SK8 ENDING AND ALL BUT LIKE

CHERRY AND JOE BOTH KNOW HOW TO BIKE?

BIKER BFS?

Alone, like always

- Warnings: angst, jealousy

-Summary: you have been Joe’s friend since childhood, but you’re completely in love with him. You hoped he would feel the same way, that he would come around and see that you were all he needed. But he didn’t, he was lost as soon as Kaoru came into his life.

———————

You walked along the river bank, your hand feeling cold in the absence of his warm hand wrapping around yours, his fingers intertwined with your own. You try to mimic the feeling yourself, threading your own hands together and squeezing. But it’s not the same as you imagine. His hands would feel larger, more all-encompassing. He wouldn’t be harsh, holding you delicately and watching you blush under his gaze. But Joe doesn’t even know how you feel.

Every time you talk to him, eat at his restaurant or skate with him at S, his mind is always elsewhere. His eyes don’t focus on you, don’t drink you all in like you do to him. You spend every second you can imprinting the image of the man in your mind, wandering thoughts leading you to dirty dreams at night. But he was never doing the same to you, his thoughts never once lingered on you for more than a moment before his beloved clouded his thoughts again. You spent years by his side, growing up as neighbours and basically becoming family to one another, but he meant so much more than that to you. You knew you were in love the second you found out what the word meant, all those years ago.

It all changed when he met Kaoru. That snake in the grass who stole his heart from you, stole your Joe from you. He took one look and that was it, he was smitten. The two of you became three, then Adam showed up. Joe cried on your shoulder when he found out about those two, Kaoru and Adam stealing secret kisses and longing glances. Joe came to you for comfort. You thought this was it, the moment he realised you were all he ever needed, all he would ever need. But it wasn’t. He cried and cried, poured his heart out to you, to his friend. But you were just angry, hopelessly in love with this broken man in front of you that you couldn’t do anything to make him feel better. You cried with him, not being able to hold back the tears as your heart broke. He thanked you for being there for him, thanked you when you offered for him to stay the night. He was so lucky to have a friend like you. It stung, it really did.

Joe spent years pining over Kaoru while you watched from the sidelines. Soon Adam had gone, the boys shocked when he turned aggressive. They tried to bring him back, but they couldn’t and Kaoru was broken. That’s when everything changed for the worst. The shared glances, the not-so-subtle touching thighs, the petty arguments, the closeness. They were falling for each other right in front of your eyes and you were breaking in front of theirs’ but they were too oblivious to notice. You tried to remind Joe of your time together before Kaoru showed up, the years spent as a pair, the power team. But it was too late. He was Kaoru’s, and you were all alone.

You walked along the river bank holding your own hand, intertwining your own fingers as the two men in front of you called your name.

“Y/n! Hurry up! We’re gonna be late!” You smiled back at them, Joe’s arm slung over Kaoru so nonchalantly. You imagined that warmth and it brought tears to your eyes. Trying to blink them away you turned your head towards the water.

“You two go ahead. I’ve got some things to think about.” Joe nodded and told you to not take too long, that they’d miss you, but they left you there. Alone, like always.

Hi! I saw that you had your requests open and I wanted to make one! I was wondering if you'd be up for making a part 2 of the matcha blossom x gnreader angst!

Where it still ends up being angst in the end, or fluff, whichever you prefer! But I'd love for it to be that Joe finally realized that the reader loved him for all those years and felt guilty and all that.

If you could, if the ending you choose to be fluff could you possibly make it a poly relationship between the three! If angst then you could choose!

I'm sorry if this is a bad req. Or sum, it's my first time! And you dont have to of course! But I'd love for a part 2

Hey, thank you so much for the request! It’s a fantastic one, no need to apologise, you’re always welcome to request stuff! I’ve been thinking of doing a part 2 for Alone, like always for a while now so this was perfect timing! I think the poly idea is so cute, but like the evil bitch I am there will be a little angst beforehand hehe... I hope you enjoy it anon! :) 

Requests are open!

Part 1 here!

Alone, no more.

- Summary: After years of one-sided love you decide to give up on Joe, leaving him and Kaoru alone. 

--------------

Hours had passed, by now the boys might be worried about you, but you doubted it. You played with the stone in your hand, one of the hundreds you'd been trying to skim across the surface of the lake. They all kept falling to the bottom. The air was colder now, the night closing in quickly as the dusting of stars scattered themselves across the sky. It would be a perfect night if he were there with you, but he never was, and you’d come to terms with that. 

You wandered aimlessly through the streets, hands tucked deep into your pockets and your hoodie covering your head so no one could see the tears staining your face. You tried to make it home, but your body seemed on autopilot as you approached the gates to S. You cursed yourself, knowing Joe and Kaoru would both be there tonight. You turned to leave, but your body collided with someone much bigger than you. 

“Y/n? Where have you been all day?” You fidgeted in front of him, feeling his gaze burning into you. 

“Just got caught up with some old friends.” You managed out, voice wobbling. 

“Hey, are you okay?” He asked, his voice soft. You didn’t notice the movement until your eyes were locked on his. Joe had placed his hand beneath your chin and moved your face so he could see you more clearly. That meant your puffy eyes, the tears threatening to spill and the stains from tears already shed were all now in perfect view for the man. You pushed him away, Joe losing balance and falling into Kaoru’s waiting arms. You heard his shouts as you ran, but you couldn’t stop your legs as they pushed you further away. 

Two months had passed since that night, and the missed calls were adding up. It wasn’t just Joe now, Kaoru, Mia, Reki, Langa and Shadow were all trying to contact you. You’d blocked Joe’s number at least, and sent the others a short message just saying that you wanted to stay alone, like always. It was petty sure, but a part of you wanted them to understand your pain, even if you couldn’t bring yourself to tell them the whole truth. 

Joe had tried to speak to you in person, coming to your work and asking the manager for a moment of your time. But your manager had sensed the way you tensed up after spotting him walking into the store and turned him away. He looked hurt, his chest falling and him giving a silent nod in response. You hated seeing him like that, but you couldn’t be near him now. 

The night was cold as you made your way out of the house and towards the skate park. You and Joe used to go there together for years before Kaoru convinced him that it wasn’t cool enough. You hated those memories, the pain attached to them still raw as you pictured Kaoru’s smile as he dragged Joe away from you. It was childish sure, but you hated how Joe just went along with whatever the pink-haired boy said. You settled yourself on the top of the bowl, legs swinging underneath you as the breeze danced across your face. The loneliness wasn’t any less painful now, but more familiar. You stood, dropping into the bowl and skating for a while. This feeling was nice, the natural movement of you and the board, almost as if it was just an extension of your own body. You got cocky, doing some tricks here and there and eventually grew tired of playing around. You climbed out, making your way towards the halfpipe that stood tall above the rest of the skate park. It was quiet and peaceful, the perfect opportunity to just let your feelings out. You cried there, sitting upon the halfpipe like some child but you didn’t care. Your body shook with the ragged sobs ripped from your chest and as much as you wiped your eyes, you could still feel the cold tears rolling down your face. 

You had experienced heartbreak before, but nothing like this. You had years of pining over Joe and getting your heart broken hundreds of times along the way, but none of them felt like this. The piercing finality of it all. This wasn’t something you could ever come back from, and as much as you didn’t want to admit it, a part of you, deep deep down, knew there was nothing you could do to get him to notice you like you noticed him. That was it. Joe was out of your reach and you needed to get over a man you loved, but who never loved you in return. That is the hardest heartbreak to heal, the mourning of a relationship that never even existed. The death of what-ifs and maybes. 

You heard his voice quietly at first, a whispered, tentative call of your name danced in the wind and you could have sworn he was there beside you. But your mind must have been playing tricks on you. 

“Y/n?” It was louder this time.

“Is that you?” You were shaking even harder now, you hadn’t realised your imagination could be so spiteful.

“Please, don’t cry.” 

“Oh fuck off brain! I’m already hurting enough! Just... just stop...” You screamed into the wind, your tears falling freely now. 

“Y/n? What happened?” You opened your eyes, heart racing as you followed the voice. There stood Joe, all alone and looking so desperately scared. It wasn’t in your mind. He had come to you.

“A-are you...?” Your voice drifted off, the trembling betraying you as you scrambled the wipe the tears from your eyes. 

“Am I what Y/n?” Joe said, moving towards you. You flinched backwards in response, so scared that if he touched you the illusion would disappear and you'd be left with an even bigger hole in your heart.

“Real?” It came out as a whisper, nearly too quiet to hear, but Joe got it. 

“I’m real. I promise.” He said stretching out a hand for you to hold. You pushed him away, but the pain in his eyes made you want to take the action back instantly. 

“What happened? Please tell me. I know you’ve blocked me, told your manager not to let me in. Even your mother hung up on me, and she’s never done that before.” Joe sat beside you now, and on instinct, you pushed your body away from him. He didn’t make a move to follow you, allowing the gap between the two of you to grow. 

“Nothing happened.” He sighed at this, running a hand through his hair. 

“I promise you nothing-”

“Cut the bullshit Y/n. The last time I saw you, you were covered in tears, and now you’re avoiding me and crying alone at midnight in a skate park. Something happened.” His eyes met yours, the tears in his own threatening to spill.

“I can’t lose you. You’re my best friend.” There it was, all hope gone in a second. You felt your heart shatter again, your tears spilling over and the air sucked out of your lungs. 

“I don’t want to be your friend.” You said it before you even thought, the words tumbling out now. 

“I don’t want to be your fucking friend! All these years I’ve been so desperately in love with you, watching you break and cry over Kaoru and Adam, but the second he snaps his fingers you’re all puppy eyes and I can’t take it!” He was silent, staring at you in pure bewilderment. 

“I’ve been here for so long, so utterly in love with you but you didn’t even notice. Too wrapped up in your own mess that you left me high and dry. Don’t want to lose your best friend? You lost me years ago when you chose to chase him rather than stand by my side. I could have done it you know, been quietly in love with you and been happy, but you just left me alone all the time. Every chance you got, it was him over me and I can’t take it anymore. I don’t care how selfish I sound, I don’t care if you hate me now. But seeing the two of you together? It hurts more than anything else.”  You were quiet now, but the silence between the two of you was deafening. 

“You...” Joe began, the trembling in his own voice growing louder as he suppressed his tears. 

“You love me?” You knew he couldn’t see you, but all you could muster was a pitiful nod. 

“All this time? Really?” You nodded again and he turned his gaze to you. Heat rushed to your cheeks, the flush paired with your thumping heart. 

“I’m so sorry. I’ve got to go.” He pushed himself up, and with one last look, he left you alone. Why should I expect anything different at this point? You let out a shaky sigh, the tears beginning again. 

You spent the next few days wrapped up in your bedsheets, calling in sick to work. Your mother visited your house, seeing you miserable and tried her best to cheer you up, but nothing worked. She could tell something was up with you and Joe, worried that the torch you’d carried for him throughout the years had burnt you out. She tried, she really did, but you were so broken. 

Eventually, you pulled yourself away from the pile of quilts and blankets, making your way towards the bathroom to shower. You noticed the photos of you, Joe and Kaoru as kids that used to hang upon your wall were taken down, probably your mother’s doing. You didn't really mind. Your reflection caught you off guard, the dark circles and sickly looking frame sticking out from the clothes you'd been sleeping in. The shower was warm enough for you to get lost in thought, your mind racing back to the argument. No, it wasn’t really an argument, more you just screaming at him, letting out all of your pain. You winced, embarrassment bubbling in your stomach and chest. But you pushed it down, you couldn’t allow yourself to wallow on this anymore. You needed to move on. 

Work was hard, seeing the happy couples coming into the bakery to order wedding cakes or baby shower treats. It was sickening. Your manager seemed to notice you weren’t yourself and allowed you to just focus on baking, instead of piping sickeningly sweet love notes onto cakes or moulding tiny prams out of fondant. It was a nice rest bite, all you had to do was follow a recipe and mix some batter. 

Life became easier after a while, and the love you had for baking came back. You felt comfortable decorating again, your manager thankful you’d come out of whatever it was okay. You agreed, feeling okay for the first time in a long time. Life was getting its shine back, the colour returning. But then it all came to a halt again. 

It was raining heavily as you rushed home from work, the store closing later than usual so you could finish a delivery for tomorrow. But as you approached your house there were two familiar figures blocking your doorway. You didn't want to see them, not again. Not now you were finally starting to feel better. It was Kaoru who spoke first. 

“Could we please come in?” 

“S-sure.” You stammered, your hand shaking as you tried to unlock the door. Finally, you pushed the door open and stood aside to welcome the men in. They stepped out of their shoes and padded towards your living room. You squeaked something out about towels and rushed off, locking yourself in your bathroom. Your breathing was getting erratic, your body shaking. Why were they here?

You calmed yourself after a while, gathering some towels and joining them in your living room. It was surreal, watching the two men dry themselves off as you wrapped the plush blue fabric around yourself. You sat across from the both of them, feeling like a deer caught in the headlights before a crash. 

“I want to go first if that’s okay.” Joe said breaking the silence. You nodded in response and Kaoru quipped something about him, but you took no notice. 

“I’m sorry. To be honest, I wasn’t sure at first if I understood where you were coming from. You sounded so jealous and I instinctively got defensive, that’s why I left. But now I see that I played out exactly what you were miserable about, I chose my feelings for Kaoru over listening to your pain and I’m so sorry.” He cleared his throat and Kaoru placed a hand on his shoulder for support. 

“I’m sorry as well Y/n. I knew about your feelings for Joe years ago, but I childishly tried to break that bond between the two of you out of spite.” Kaoru said, dropping his gaze to the floor. “I feel like such a fool, and after what happened with Adam I got some perspective. I realised how much I must have hurt you, but I selfishly didn’t apologise, thinking just trying to be your friend was good enough. But I realise now it wasn’t” 

“It’s okay. I mean, I understand. You don’t know how many times I tried to do the same thing to you and Joe.” You played with the fabric in your fingers. “I hated seeing him cry over you, but it was even worse seeing you two falling in love.” The air was heavy now, the tension thick.

“Y/n. We’ve spent the past few weeks trying to figure out what to do because you mean a lot to the both of us.” You met Kaoru’s eyes as a blush rose on his cheeks. “I came to terms with my feelings on the matter.” He said, breaking away from your gaze. 

“Y/n I care about you, more than a friend, honestly? I think I love you too.” Joe said smiling softly at you. 

“Y/n, I was always jealous of not only you but Joe too. I wanted your attention as much as I wanted his.” Kaoru joined in. “I didn’t understand it myself at first, but after talking it through with Joe, I realised that I care about you both deeply.” He stammered out, the blush burning brighter now. 

“I-I don’t...” You said, mouth agape. 

“We’re not totally sure about any of this either. But we realised that just us being together wasn’t gonna make all of us happy, and we were done leaving you all alone.” Joe said, moving around the table between you all and coming to sit beside you. He took your hands in his, as delicately as you had imagined that day. 

“Y/n, we want to be with you too. We won’t be happy if you’re not with us, and I can’t stand seeing you hurting because of us anymore.” He said kissing the knuckles on your hand. 

“What are you saying?” You stammered out, blushing almost as furiously as Kaoru across from you. 

“We want you to be a part of this.” Kaoru motioned between the two men in front of you and your blush burned even brighter, feeling it spread down to your chest. 

“We don’t want to ever leave you alone again.” 

You spent that night figuring out your feelings for the two men, laughter slowly creeping its way back into your life. With them, it felt easy, and the soft kisses shared between the three of you had your head reeling. It was nice like this, no more jealousy ripping the three of you apart, just love. Or at least, it felt like love between the three of you, you were happy just being here with them, three bodies curled up together in your bed, legs intertwined and breathing calm. This was how you all spent your nights now, skating with friends and sharing soft kisses and not-so-subtle glances, then returning home together, content. You were alone no more.
