boyloser tops (affectionate)

a chef's kiss etl, which is something cause i usually hate etl stories lol.

seomin may initially seem like more of the cringefail one but bada absolutely one-ups him with his loser behaviour and lame tendencies such as being weirdly obssessed and pathetically upset with seomin and his ex.

wish they didn't just gloss over the resolution to their fight like that cause that was highly unsatisfying, but leaving that aside, bada passes the boyloser test.

oh, chihiro absolutely ACED the boyloser test. he's definitely a top contender at the boyfailure-boyloser-boycringe university entrance exam and he's also atrociously down bad to boot.

10/10 cringefail top, extremely pathetic and babygirl-coded that he's actually inspiring.

off-topic note, but mako is. SOOO ADORABLE. an angel. a babygirl in a non-pathetic cute way. AN ANGEL.

rintarou is another top who aced the boyloser test; he's in the top 1% of the rankings. he's so pathetic, like sososo pathetic it's actually driving me insane (affectionate). he's also down bad for santa, and he's fucking hilarious.

10/10, a cringefail top who just makes me go "god he's such a loser" whenever i see him.

side note, but it's nice that we're shown how he's weirdly dependable for santa - shows how the relationship is equal.

mikado yamato, beloved posterboy for absolutely lame boyloser (/affectionate). pretty sure this guy was the catalyst for this list being made... every time i reread this n remember his antics i just go *clenches fist* he is SO cringe i need to make an entire list revolving around his archetype.

500/10, truly peak boyloser. endearingly cringefail. his earnest affection for nezaki through his over-the-top antics makes it so that ur genuinely rooting for him beyond his comedic insanity.

mitsuru: i am doing all of this because I Love You and I Want To Be With You for a Long Time .

annaka: i am a Monster... i have Forced your Hand... i have Tied you Down... (cries)

anna my lovely pathetic overthinker... my pessimistic boyloser... both you n mitsuru are sooo Babygirls.

(5/10 rating on the boyloser-boyfailure-boycringe scale cuz hes actually pretty cool n dependable, but he also radiates a sad wet rat energy that incenses you to pick him up n cradle him in your bosom. Babygirl.)

me pointing to haebeom, a hulking 6'4 ft tall 34-year-old man: (johnny voice) that MAN is my GIRL.

he doesn't get higher than a 4/10 on the boyloser scale because he's actually a functioning adult and heads an entire village BUT.

it is so funny seeing how down bad this big seal gets when it comes to sungho like he gets LAME. he gets CRINGE. he is a boyloser when it comes to sungho and they are each other's malewives.

i have mixed feelings for kaji. like dont get me wrong, could easily hit 10/10 in terms of pathetic boyloser, but also he's somewhat of a pathetic (derogatory) top.

its funny seeing his unfounded n delusional self-confidence, classic boycringe hallmark, but hes also just a douchebag up until a certain point.

rn its fun seeing him get strung along, though i still wanna see him hit his lowest low yet for peak pathetic boyloser (not derogatory). hoping fukami stays aromantic tbh LOL

GRHRHRH. GRHHHRRH. GRHRHHHHFHHR. no thoughts just agonized groaning and grunting over Midori Baby. Babygirl Midori. Midori... Baby.

(midori for all intents n purposes is a 3, maybe 4/10 on the boyloser-boyfailure-boycringe scale cuz he's not actually cringe, only a bit of a loser, and is half a failure, but he's soo. adorably Pathetic [/affectionate] and down bad. he's also definitely BABYGIRL. ngl Ao wld probably score higher on the scale if he wasnt implied bottom)

seiji, you sweet adorable airheaded ditzy summer child. please continue to do that lil stiff two-step thing you call "skipping" whenever you're happy.

that aside, seiji is a 4 for me on the boyloser scale because Yes he is horribly down bad. Yes half the time we're in his head he is a Babygirl. but he's not a boyfailure, and just partially a boyloser. he Can be boycringe but he's also dependably sweet for kazuki. hes more like a secret 4th thing (boyweirdo).

oto you pathetic boyloser dom top. im enamored. he's suffering from a case of down bad-initis; it was a treat to watch. lovelovelove his dynamic with masa.

overall a 7/10 on the boyloser scale because i enjoy the dichotomy of him being a hot model dom and masa's pathetic little babygirl boyloser malewife - tbh he's not even as bad as the others on the list but being paired with masa shot up his boyloser score... masa's just too cool.
