Heisenberg: 2, 6, 28, 30

When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)

I could NOT be arsed to watch complete playthroughs when the game came out (there's actually a lot I'm still surprised at when I'm playing the game just because I didn't...bother....to watch everything, woops), but I did watch Heisenberg's complete scenes after watching Lady D's, specifically because he looked interesting from TV Tropes. There was never really a time where I was conflicted about him, it was more "he looks interesting I guess" to "BLORBO." I think the first Heis Scene I watched was...the family gathering scene, either that or his offer to Ethan.

My least favorite ship of them

Honestly, this is one of the cases where I'm lucky in that I'm shipping the biggest fandom-preferred ship. Like, there isn't anything that's shipped on a big enough level for me to care. I'm not really fond of Ethan/M1a/Heisenberg as a throuple -- I get the urge to try to do Something with the female character who's in a committed relationship with one of the guys in a ship, but (1) I really think Heisenberg is not attracted to women at all and (2) ...After a long period of analyzing any potential biases, internalized sexism, etc., I've decided that I can't stand M1a. Like, Heis has done his fair share of shit, but he's already spent his entire life under one borderline abusive, lying, manipulative person who ran experiments on children and who thought that she knew what was best for him, I don't really want to see him or Ethan with another one. And I get the concerns about sexism with this one in the sense that, again, Heisenberg is an insane mad scientist who bends metal with his mind, but consider: I'm never going to run into him in real life, whereas M1a is...much...closer to home, without the context that Heisenberg has for what he does (and I can't emphasize enough that I *do* blame this on poor writing). If other people want to ship it, great, go wild, but it isn't how I picture their dynamic and it isn't really what I want for either Ethan or Heisenberg. I don't think M1a deserved to DIE necessarily, even though I do think her turning out to be alive, despite everything we know about Miranda, was a bit of a cop-out (especially since this is. The second time. She's turned out to be alive under improbable circumstances), but. Get the Hell away from Ethan.

The most unnecessary thing they ever did?

...Come on, Heisey. Come on. Did you HAVE to tell the nice man you were going to use his daughter to take down Miranda? Did you HAVE to?

Besides that, the man RUNS on "unnecessary", from putting an airplane propeller on a guy's head to very THEATRICALLY kicking Ethan into the hole.

The funniest scene they had?

The family gathering. I wish we could have had more scenes like that one, it was really funny to see how the Four Lords got along before shit really hit the fan, especially his Petty Bitch rivalry with Alcina.

talking about female villains: sometimes I will see people like a female villain even though she did/does the same things that the same fan doesn't like some other male villain for (I mean, Nisha is a good example here, honestly) and mostly my reaction to that is:

hehe, same. (and honestly I prefer it over the people who will do some solid villain apologism (hey, I'm on your side!) but then will go after a female character who barely did anything bad and dissect her actions without any context.)

Because honestly, which character you enjoy and who you relate to is very personal and subjective. And I do understand the sentiment that we want to see some more gals get messy and horrid and blorbofied. (Who doesn't!) Or it's just a bit of girlbossifying. Whatever, who cares.

But then, you engage with their content about that female character and you realise that every aspect of their canon personality is stripped away - there's none of the ten page meta posts (not saying you have to write those to be valid!), there's none of that angsting about them, nothing. They're just...some completely different person.

And you realise that it's just the villain-version of the treatment fans give to the good-guy female characters who are also stripped off all their personality - in order to make them fanon love-interests for a dude they barely know or stand-ins or the Moral Beacon who yells at some character who was mean to your blorbo. It's just the same thing over and over again and it tires me, tires me, tires me.
