hey, u said during some bingo asks that u think everyone else is wrong abt despa and desha, and im really curious what u think people r wrong abt jfhg

hihi, ill admit to like not seeing a lot of english works abt either of em too much beyond some of what ao3 has to offer (not a lot. but some.) and also it's been a lil bit since i've thought abt the brothers in general. so here are my best thots abt how ppl tend to write desha and despa

*ill say first that desha seems like Very Hard To Write in general (from a guy whos struggled w it a lot for comic reasons and is at his best bouncing off ppl who know him better.) getting the combination of Man Traumatized By His Family Situation / Growing Up Quick / Eldest Brother Dickheadedness / Being A Good Ruler, Bc Why Wouldnt He Be correct is hard. *my major criticism is that people just generally dont write him mean enough. hes casually just pretty rude and overall aloof a lot of the time (remembering how bored he was both when bojji was fighting the captain and when he was appointed #1) and tends to be cruel to people he doesnt already respect (bojji, again.) i dont super blame ppl for gettin him wrong tho bc hes a difficult character to grasp

*despa however bc hes my main contender for Guy Of The Year i get more. people usually write him nice enough (good!) and smart enough (great!) but he Also has his own mean streak. he says bad things abt desha (looks, personality) while uplifting himself (though he also compliments him later. family.), gets into More Than One fight bc hes insulted (yeah the 2nd one was scripted but he knows himself well enough to know hes sensitive abt his looks lol.), and is generally greedy (see: everything.) *both he and desha have good hearts but bc of the environment they were brought up in and also the fact they are Powerful Brothers they can just be like. Mean. idk i feel like this could apply to almost any characters ever, nobody ever writes anyone mean enough. thanx sorry this got this long for no reason
