2 and 20 for Aporia ♥
Omg yess the Big Cat i love him thank you....
2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)
So fun fact, in middle-high school I used to love the "bratty smartass pre/young teen boy" type of character. Can't explain why, but I love when there was someone slightly younger than the main cast being a little shit and smarter than them.
Anyway Lucciano immediately catched my eyes and I was really invested in him. Except then we get his and the other emperors backstory, and we see Aporia and... he's just so big?? and so sad?? and then turns out he's very nice and loves his friend and has a big heart??
Right now, one type of character I specifically like is "giant/powerful/threatening Guy (gender neutral) that is actually really kind and sad" (i have an alignment chart of that that i should update). And I feel like Aporia was the first of that type. It's just. the contrast of his giantness and evil robot look at the tiny card, and the emotion he holds, and how deeply attached to his friend he is??
20. A weird headcanon
As a human he had a height complex and that's why he's so tall + extra heels and the emperors also have high shoes.
He really likes cereals. Like when I imagine in him in normal modern scenario he is eating cereals for lunch. He just likes the crunch and the sweet.

*Slides back onto your dash with new pretentious 5Ds bullshit*
The specific term Bruno gets his name from, Antinomy, was popularized by Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason, wherin he argues there are four contradictions necessary for attempting to understand reality.
1. The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited as regards space.
-
The world has no beginning, and no limits in space; it is infinite as regards both time and space.
2. Every composite substance in the world is made up of simple parts, and nothing anywhere exists save the simple or what is composed of the simple.
-
No composite thing in the world is made up of simple parts, and there nowhere exists in the world anything simple.
3. Causality in accordance with laws of nature is not the only causality from which the appearances of the world can one and all be derived. To explain these appearances it is necessary to assume that there is also another causality, that of Spontaneity.
-
There is no Spontaneity; everything in the world takes place solely in accordance with laws of nature.
4. There belongs to the world, either as its part or as its cause, a being that is absolutely necessary.
-
An absolutely necessary being nowhere exists in the world, nor does it exist outside the world as its cause.
At every turn, Illiaster attempts to follow the logical half of the paradox, and is undone by the opposite. They believe there is not enough time to change humanities ways, Yusei says he’ll make more. They believe the team to be simple people, below the machinations of their order. But like the gears of the reactor, Yusei and his family combine into something much more complex. Bruno shouldn’t be able to defy his programming, but he does, in an act of Spontaneity.
Z-One believed Yusei to be destined, integral, important. That the world needed him. But when he attempted to revive the legend, that wasn’t the magic bullet to save the world. Yusei isn’t necessary.
But at the same time, the team is simple. They’re people, working with the time and space they’ve got, spontaneous and unimportant and so, so human. Yusei is unimportant, but he writes himself into prophecy by sheer stubbornness. Yusei is contradictions: a hero and an outcast, magic and machines, blessed and cursed. New Domino born, Satellite raised. Prophesied to die, living all the same.
The stars of Illiaster, despite each being named after term for contradiction, don’t internalize why those terms exist in the first place. Like Kant said, in order to truly understand reality, you must first come to terms with its antinomies. There is no Occam’s Razor for something all infinite and finite as the universe. Learn to hold both sides of the possibility, to accept them, even if they should cancel eachother out, because that is the crux of humanity.

Aporia switches between/obsesses over hope and despair so much he feels like a Danganronpa character.
