If you didn't end up in your current group, what band would you have joined?
Adonis: Tenshouin-senpai?
i hope reis solo song is bossa nova or smooth jazz or smth. we got our Sexy Jazz solo now rei grab your tambourine let’s go record some goddamn hold music (he will proceed to record one of the greatest songs ive ever heard)
obligatory adonis fiancée theory: it could be an arranged marriage, maybe even with a member of the Sakumas (i.e. some distant cousin of Rei) but I think it would be sweet and in-character if it was actually a beard engagement and Adonis had agreed to marry a lesbian friend from back home to shield her from judgement. akira has been interested in writing about queer NPCs’ struggles a lot lately (e.g. nobunaga-sensei from akatsuki climax and shu's grandpa) so it wouldn't be a shock!
have any of you tried ensemble training yet?
Yuzuru: He's been training a lot, such a wonderful app, isn't it?

The thing about Beastars that makes it so dear to me is that it's specifically and explicitly about deviancy and perversion. About having taboo desires. For meat. For immoral desires.
And it approaches it with a slice of life frankness.
And like. A lot of times you have modern queer lit that tries so hard to normalize itself. On the other end of the spectrum you have the horror/gothic works where the metaphor for desire is so elevated that it's hard to really... like... see it face on.
But like. The thing about Beastars is that... legosi's perversion is not a 1:1 metaphor for queerness. So it's not making any message like "gays, they're just like you", it's explicitly about what it means to be a deviant.
Anyway I think about this panel all the time.
A small but very interesting observation. Rei's character trait, which makes him please people, is partly a consequence of his upbringing in his family. Judging by the words of Rei himself, the Sakuma clan was oppressed and persecuted in the distant past (probably during the witch hunt) because of its vampire characteristics of the body. And the condition by which the Sakuma could live among people was "to be harmless and useful". So this model of upbringing, which arose from the desire of the Sakuma family to survive, has become just a tradition and a feature of the character of all representatives of this family. Therefore, both Rei, and partly Ritsu, and most likely everyone else from the Sakuma clan have a tendency to want to be useful to others. That's such an interesting thing.
"Because we are harmless and useful, my family was allowed to exist in this world."
"Even in our modern era, when strange things have disappeared, it is difficult to change the way of life that was imprinted in my soul and genes and was fixed thanks to my education."
So these problems of Rei are not only related to his angelic personality (although that too).
