apathy kun

reference to the very sad and tragic fan fiction of Bokuto Koutarou and Akaashi Keiji, In Another Life, by LittleLuxray on AO3. Bokuto does not know Akaashi's name at the start, so he calls him "Apathy Kun" instead.

in other words, if you mention this to someone who's read the fic, please do expect to be hit with a shovel.

A: hey, who is Apathy Kun?

B, trying not to cry: Oh, it's Bokuto

Radio Apathy 

The point at which you accept total defeat in the quest to find a decent radio station. You started on some overplayed pop track, then skipped opera, classical, country, some fake thug tripping over his beats now you’re back to that shitty pop channel. You settle on some sub par 90's song. You don’t even turn the radio off; just sit there in utter indifference.

You: I was real worried when you rolled in here bumpin the Macarena.
Your Friend: I was trying to find something good for so long, but then I gave in to radio apathy.
