#equal. shes v much his boss even though they have an understanding and respect there

[themyscirah]

Started thinking about the Amanda Waller + Ben Turner relationship again.... fuck, I'm gonna need a minute

#I JUST- SHDIAUDJSHDSHEYEYRYRYRY guys. guys #i know none of you see my vision and thats okay. i will make you see my vision. i will force you to see my vision. i will- #like jesus fucking christ oh my god. its so interesting and gives me so many emotions and just!!! #i know im not making sense bc none of my moots are sui sq fans and also like half of the content fucking me up specifically here is in my #head because i cant stop thinking about my absolute power fix it au but like!!!!!!! #also the fact i have a fix it for a comic that isnt out yet is so funny to me. its literally fucking real though. god knows we need it #may my own content carry me through the dark times (extreme villain waller arc) #anyways this fucks me up so bad you dont even know. someday ill actually explain it #dc hire me to write a suicide squad ongoing PLEASE. i could do it so good it would be so fucking good dc PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #also like this isnt me shipping them btw. like 110% not that. just to clarify. #i wouldnt even call it a friendship bc like. theyre not friends really. he has the most equal dynamic with her i would say but it still isnt #equal. shes v much his boss even though they have an understanding and respect there #like she believes and trusts in him much more than anybody really even himself. like she sees the good man and the leader even when he #doesnt. but she isnt nice about it. and there is a lot of conflict between them when there needs to be #like as much as ben is “wallers man”--the team leader she wanted from the beginning before rick flagg pushed his way in #ben i would say is still a very moral person even when lost and unsure of himself and his goodness (which is like one of his main things) #like i feel like while amanda can lean very into a “the ends justify the means” mindset in her worse moments and do bad things to get #herself out of a corner ben has like a deep and meaningful understanding of how the choices of your methods and how you act can weigh on you #like even though he was brainwashed and whatnot (thats still the story right? i cant remember) he holds a lot of guilt and baggage over his #actions and i think is able to temper amanda's worse tendencies in terms of that by calling her out when he recognizes that behavior #idk. i just really think that amanda waller and the suicide squad as a whole has lost its way without a more moral authority presence there. #like someone who can call her out and keep them more on track. which i really thing ben is and could be #i just very much am interested in their dynamic and how that would look like as equals and how i think they could help each other. #which ofc is what my wip is about and revolves around #blah #sui sq

For the ask game: Kai, Misakou, Misaki?

Thanks 💖

Give me a character & I will tell you: Kai Toshiki

How I feel about this character: I have a lot of feelings about kai that i've said before so here it is again. disregarding the cardfighting aspect of kai’s fall to link joker, he felt increasingly inferior to the people he admired and respected most - ren and aichi, who had become more confident and more respected by their peers - and feared on a deep level that they would be able to move on without him and leave him alone. this debilitating fear of irrelevancy caused him to spiral into a deep depression where he grappled with his own inadequacies and ultimately gave in to isolating and self-destructive behaviors in a misguided effort to regain his relevancy in their eyes, and managed to convince himself that he was not their equal but their superior. in trying to prove his worth as a friend to them, he managed only to further damage their bonds.

when he finally realized this and was offered the chance at being forgiven, he rejected it and determined that he was better off not existing at all rather than risking ever hurting the people he loved again. and when he finally did accept that he had been forgiven, he was constantly reminded that his own shortcomings had affected his friends and ended up spending years trying to overcome the guilt he felt at how much he had hurt them. this is why he had such an overwhelming obsession with saving aichi during legion mate - he couldn't bear the thought of aichi suffering because of his sins.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: aichi, miwa, ren, gaillard

My non-romantic OTP for this character: even though i ship them romantically, miwa. miwa is the perfect best friend for kai, someone who knows how to call kai out on his bullshit but also wants kai to be happy. he's willing to put his own feelings for kai behind him just to make sure that kai doesn't revert back to a shadow of himself, isolated and alone.

My unpopular opinion about this character: kai toshiki is canonically a shy, socially awkward, and insecure nerd who hyperfixates on a card game to fill the void in his life left by an absence of loving, trustworthy adult role models and every time someone portrays him as aggressively sexual or forceful i lose five years of my life

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: kai and aichi hugging, but like, mutually and not with one passed out in the other's arms

My OTP: kaichi

My OT3: kairenai or kaigaiai

Give me a character & I will tell you: Tokura Misaki

How I feel about this character: i love misaki. she hides her own insecurities by allowing others to perpetuate a "boss lady" persona for her so she doesn't have to worry about people trying to get her to open up. when this finally happens, when she becomes part of Q4 and later the miyaji cardfight club, she comes to realize that it's not really so bad opening up after all. i'm glad she became the true boss lady in G series to the point where shin and kamui were both scared of her, but that she's also gentle and becomes a mentor for the younger kids.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: kourin, miwa

My non-romantic OTP for this character: kai. i think misaki and kai have a lot in common and a lot of ways that they coped with their trauma (parents dying) unhealthily by appearing uncaring and "scary" to those around them, but they both come to understand each other due to their backgrounds (particularly in legion mate, where misaki and kai are both grieving the perceived loss of kourin and aichi, respectively)

My unpopular opinion about this character: she deserved to win at least once in legion mate but i doubt this is an unpopular opinion lmao

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I really wanted misaki to have been the one to fight kourin during the link joker climax, like in the manga/v series psyqualia arc. i think it could

My OTP: misakou

My OT3: none

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you: misakou

when or if I started shipping it: i think during the school play episode, when misaki was the only one who had faith that kourin wouldn't blow them off and actually show up for their performance.

my thoughts: they were both known for closing themselves off from those around them but learned to trust and open up to each other. misaki went through hell to see kourin again. i say this so much, but they deserved to have a reunion. they deserved it and bushiroad denied it. a bitch don't forget!!

What makes me happy about them: misaki is one of the very few people in the world that sees kourin as a person worthy of befriending and getting to know outside of her status as an idol. they are very comfortable around each other, to the point where they can be open and vulnerable in a way they can't be with others, like in the manga/v series when the cardfight boys go out of their way to give kourin some time to rest and misaki is the only one the boys trust to help kourin relax.

What makes me sad about them: kourin doesn't! even get! her memories back!! misaki wears kourin's hair tie for years afterward and they don't get a reunion...

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: lmao what fanfic

Things I look for in fanfic: LITERALLY THE EXISTENCE OF MISAKOU FANFIC LMAO

My kinks: kourin doesn't lose her memory

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: miwa for misaki, but i don't have anyone else for kourin

My happily ever after for them: if kourin MUST lose her memory, i want her to be compelled to visit card capital, hearing that lots of strong fighters play there, and request that someone teach her how to play. misaki then works to rekindle their relationship from the ground up and they fall in love all over again.

lmao y’all wanna start somethin huh?

listen, if z//x/l was like a 5/10 (generously), vr has so far been like barely a 1/10... 

it’s not good at all and unlike zxl where i can see the appeal and why there are fans that may still like it, i can’t... fathom or understand why anyone would like this garbage. there is nothing appealing about it to me. any interest i had in the premise of this show has long since gone down the drain...

the character designs have been just horrid (like zxl had mostly bad designs, but this show by far takes the cake on bad designs), every character has the same fucking backstory (i am fully convinced that everyone’s parents died in The Car Accident. yeah, the same one. it was a pile up, clearly) like i can’t feel sad for anyone being an orphan or whatever WHEN THAT IS THE NORM apparently for characters in this world. 

season 1 was so damn predictable (ironically it was just a rehash of zxl 2), and season 2, guess what, has been the same exact thing. DON’T TRY TO TELL ME OTHERWISE BECAUSE THIS SEASON IS WRAPPING UP ALSO WITH EVERYONE *BUT* PM DEAD AND A 4 EPISODE DUEL. only difference is that the final boss this season isn’t a “bishounen” (by the stretchiest stretch of the word cuz god re/v//olver is butt ugly) so that’s why i’ve seen more fans hate it than last season. 

i don’t understand how this show already has 2 sound duels out because god wtf?? there’s no good music in this show? it all sounds so hollow, generic, and just plain lifeless. 

the animation hasn’t been at all impressive either (no, somewhat consistent animation with on-model characters where the characters hardly ever move DOESN’T equal /good/ animation, it’s LAZY). the animators don’t seem to care to properly convey emotions though tbf what emotions??? these characters are so bland (and yet some people think that makes them “cool” or “edgy” *rolls eyes*). the most expressive character has been takeru/so//ulburner (fuck i couldn’t remember his name for a hot minute...) who was somewhat fun for a while but he turned out to be grossly undermining mental illness too so i lost all hope and respect for him (though i still think he’s the best character in this show and should have been the protagonist, though the bar was already so low in this show to begin with...). 

the girls in this show get no respect at all. a//oi is the punching bag of every other male character that challenges her (she beat that one girl scientist because of some philosophy she pulled outta her ass, she beat some mooks no one cares about, and then she beat that one little kid idk his name who was EXPLICITLY stated to only be being used to stale for time because they knew he wasn’t gonna win anyway WOOHOO SHE BEAT A CHARACTER THAT ALREADY HAD NO CHANCE WOW HOW IMPRESSIVE) and then she’s used for man pain and brocon appeal.... but sure she gets a makeover every 3 weeks so OFC SHE’S GROWING AND CHANGING AND GETTING STRONGER WTF AM I TALKING ABOUT OFC OFC. emma... would be a decent character... but she doesn’t really get much to do... also, there was that whole implication that she had a thing for PM and i’m like uhhhh she’solderthanhimandhe’saminor YIKES.... and then she gets ousted too... “BUT SAI WHAT ABOUT QUEEN” what about her? she does nothing besides show off her boobs and act like the Head Bitch In Charge and then doesn’t show up til the next summer either. y’all don’t even know if she duels... but sure, go off about how vr writes women well... so inspiring...

oh geez what else.... oh yeah i love when people complaining about production issues like.... y’all are going on your second year of this show. stop. you guys know that’s not an excuse anymore. you’re almost 100 episodes in. it wasn’t even a plausible excuse at the beginning of the show anyway... production issues stemming from “limited budget” “BECAUSE OF THE MOVIE/A5″ that doesn’t fucking count. it’s not an excuse. 

nobody likes Link summoning. japanese players have boycotted it at certain tournaments. that says something... 

this show is so fucking melodramatic and “dark” at no real expense. it’s like... so uninteresting. it is actively uninteresting. 

man i can’t wait for jumpfesta this year to announce that this show is gonna end. sure they’ll show us a pv of the next ygo most likely but mostly i’m looking forward to this show just ending. it is just so ugly, inside and out.
