doing some more sleuthing to follow up the struggletweets on my tl and this, uh, aint it

anyway all the the results were fanworks and other secondhand sources, so it really does seem like ckit fandom probably wholesale invented this

the oldest instance i could find on twt was @gachakitakoreJK in mid-march... so my best guess remains that its a mutated form of an exchange from that one interview from b's log ( https://yaycupcake.com/a3/index.php?title=B%27s-LOG/Outside_Work_the_way_back!#tab=Itaru__26_Chikage), although im also not sure when that was translated

UPDATE: hunted through ao3 and a drabble published by user "kurokeitos", on 17 december 2019, also contains this phrase ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/21822100/chapters/52076458). is this the earliest occurrence? maybe. the hunt continues

update to the update -- thank you captain for asking the author about it. kurokeitos doesnt remember where he got it from, except that he might have gotten it from captain, who doesnt remember either. ckit cold case

late-breaking update: thank you kio for pinging me on this!! a quick google reveals that its from chikages backstage ssr from the "magicians pure love" play, released july 2020... so a full eight months after the first "uncute junior" fic on ao3 https://twitter.com/chikaita_bot/status/1314001400754446336?s=19
