hi anon! i've talked about junshua quite a bit but not in a while like this, so happy to share some more thoughts! i chose a bullets that make up my personal junshua thesis, though i could probably elaborate a lot more.

junshua five favorite things:
1) emotionality – they express this side of themselves quite differently, but i think that they are both very emotionally grounded people makes for a really attractive relationship. interestingly, i think they both can be personally guarded but are very outwardly empathetic to others. joshua who is so deeply empathetic, jun who is so unabashedly accepting of others. this openness toward others makes them very attractive, but they have a shared obstinance around being vulnerable and i like that as a ship they have to crack each other to get to their soft parts.

2) temperaments – relatedly, they're both stubborn. they stick to their guns, will do whatever it is to get what they want, and are extremely driven. for first impressions i think junhui can come off as a little aloof, joshua a little withheld. but actually they both have this wild side to them, blazing passion, relentless stamina, ridiculous senses of humor, and they complement each other so much on that level. they are great at matching each other's energy

3) shared interests/companionship – those matching temperaments make it so they're just well suited to be together, literally two guys who never get tired. i love the kinds of dates they go on, shopping, biking, late night walks, meals in a foreign country. they just match so well. also lokwey i just think they could fuck for a super long time which is awesome good for them

4) origin story – they met when they were so young and at a time of their lives where they were completely othered, and it drew them together. they both were struggling with adapting to a new culture, speaking a new language, a little older than some of their members who were still in school, but they made the best of it and found a friend who, despite their own differences, became someone they could lean on. i just think it's really beautiful. circumstances can be so formative to a bond and junshua's is really special

5) ambitions – they want to do everything they can! they almost have a greed about them! their ceaseless passion makes them really compatible. i love seeing joshua pursue his chinese endeavors be it music or language, and wanting to act, too, meanwhile junhui has been able to finesse his career into being so rich and broad for so many years, and he's only doing more. i feel like they inspire each other, they might even get a little competitive (playfully) with it
