#I'm talking about like if Aiga BeyBurst was first introduced as a Hospital Character

[crystalkleure]

Funniest shit in the world, though I don’t really see it utilized very much, is when the poor weak, sickly, hospital-bound character is cured of whatever ailment is confining them to the hospital bed, and then once they get their energy back and are actually capable of doing more than just Be Unconscious For Most Of The Day, you realize they are an absolute fucking menace lmfao

They are a reckless, moderately insane, fuck-around-and-find-out type who has weeks, months, or YEARS of pent-up Desire For Chaos And Carnage inside of them that is finally unleashed the moment they are freed from their beloathed medical facility. They get home, everybody celebrates, and then the first thing they do as soon as they are left unsupervised for like half a minute is set off a firecracker inside the house or something. Tomorrow they are going to drive the lawnmower to Wal-Mart. They decide to take up archery and promptly elect to practice on the neighbour’s lawn flamingoes. They’ve started a centipede collection in the guest bathroom. Everybody who is used to only knowing them as the Sad Sick Pitiful Guy Who Can’t Really Do Anything now has to learn [hopefully very quickly] that if anything is suddenly on fire for no reason then it is probably Hospital Guy’s fault.

#.It speaks #Funny shit #Tropreciation #Has anybody literally ever written a character like this #I'm talking about like if Aiga BeyBurst was first introduced as a Hospital Character #Toby MFB and Taiyou + Nosaka Ina11 were kind of close. Not quite COMPLETELY unhinged though. #I would say Nosaka was the closest because he was the least-hinged of the lot but he was never actually Confined In The Hospital #At least not for very long #He was a perfectly active threat even with a brain tumor #There was no surprise element #Toby also fails for a weird reason and that is because in spite of the fact that he totally would build a pipe bomb in the garage just to -- #-- see if he could...his Perceived Personality did not really change upon Attaining Freedom lol. He stayed pretty outwardly-calm and -- #-- reasonable-looking. So the Surprise Element comes not from Sudden Freedom but from his Genuine Vibe Even When Healthy vs. his behaviour #Therefore Taiyou actually came the closest to embodying the Specific Trope I am seeking #He didn't even quite wait until he was out of the hospital to start wreaking his havoc #Jin BeyBurst is ALMOST this trope too because he is definitely a Moderate Mischief Enthusiast and he is also sick but... #...he is not Trapped In The Hospital and never has been. He is perfectly free to wander around and pass out on the floor wherever he pleases #So once again we have zero surprise element. The Goblin Is Not Initially Restrained. #[All of these characters are Big Favourites of mine I am simply contemplating What If We Took The Concept Even Further lol]
