Most of my argument is an uninteresting “well, I just like it”. He’s quite appealing on either side. I struggle to be fixed because I love entertaining different ideas, trying to understand why people see it one way or the other, honing in on certain traits & wondering why they’d act that way or if they even would, though usually preferring to grasp the bigger picture. There’s some I’m 99.9% fixed on & don’t trust many with the 0.1%, it can change depending on CP, too. Even though I take seme/seme & uke/uke into consideration.

I don’t distrust people with uke Leo & wouldn’t argue about it as adamantly as Eichi or Rinne. I just like it more. I think he’s capable of inflicting onto another, a la ishidan. I believe in him. He’s a small carnivorous feline with a lot of potential. Hard to rein in, snaggle toothed, a bit of an asshole (though a recovered one at this point). I guess that makes uke Leo satisfying to others, especially with his cute & small body… sorry, what were we talking about again? Anyway. Small semes are really cute〜! That’s a big part of it! I just really love unconventional semes!

“Then why did you specify that you think he’s a seme too?” You might be asking in your head. I just wanted to, I guess ♪ it’s harder for me to make arguments IRT semehood, I realized. Even though I’m seme-minded. I was talking about seme Niki with my friend the other day, and tried my best. I wanted to contrast Leo with Eichi. To call them both semes is in the same vein as two sheep hitting horns, as my lover said to put it into perspective a little better, using animal analogies that I am also all too fond of.

Leo marks his territory by bunting against others and sizes them up by rubbing against them and stuff. Hehe, how cute. An uke could too. Even so, I think it would come to him more authentically than Madara, if that makes sense. I can see MDLO and I enjoy it, but the reverse is so, so much yummier to me. I’ve read LOMD doujins and everything. I just like it!!!!!!! When it comes to him & Sena, I prefer leoizu… it just makes sense. Some say there’s a phenomenon where a lot of what the English fandom refers to as izuleo actually falls under leoizu, that it is the more popular dynamic, but ENG fans don’t tend to care about name order. Also, a lot of scholars (not all, it’d be a lie to say that, or to imply that it makes them fake fans for thinking otherwise, I have no grounds to say that) have LOIZ as their OTP and IZLO as their NOTP. It might seem extreme to you, but I’m sure they must have a reason beyond just, wanting Sena to receive. (I notice people tend to care more about the uke than the seme in a CP. which is fine, but feels a little shallow…) And usually IZLO fans go way harder with the seme-uke physiognomy which isn't a genuine reason to like one more but it's scary to me, even if LOIZ fans do too, sometimes.

The leader switch from Leo to Tsukasa is just like a switch from right to left, between them, hahaha〜!
