ok im seeing stuff about quadstrike and i have to know, is it any good? like is it worth the watch?

[artist-kreating-stuff]

I’ll take this as my evidence in case I come across someone who doesn’t ship Shalt.

a sequence of quadstrike screenshots that haunts me. it's probably the way shu looks at valt

[awkward-thinker]

All right, so I think about… three days ago, Beyburst officially ended. And I’mma be a bit nitpicky, so if you’re not feeling it, don’t read this! I’m also mostly going to be talking about the Turbo characters. xD

So, first of all, I’m happy that we actually got to see some of the gangs from the first three seasons! :Dc It’s a lot better than not getting to see them, after all, and it’s nice to know that at least for a few frames, they were let out of the beysment. (Pun’s a courtesy of one of my best friends, Dani-Phantom. She’s got amazing stories on Wattpad if anyone wants to read, by the way!)

But now I’m gonna get into what I don’t really like. XD

Okay, so it definitely makes sense that the past characters weren’t given redesigns or more screentime—this is the ending episode, so why would they be? The importance wasn’t on them anymore. But from a story perspective, I just… really don’t like how it looks like time stood still for them even though YEARS have passed. And also, it makes me sad that it seems like Hyde hasn’t gotten Hades back seeing as he’s still lost his throne to Phi and just has a stepstool. ):

Overall, it just didn’t feel satisfactory for me. I’m most interested in Turbo, which as we all know, was a majorly flawed season with good characters, so what bothers me the most is that most characters’ arcs weren’t exactly resolved, or we weren’t given enough screentime to SEE that they were, and then we never got another season to see them again.

Fubuki, for example, just up and left for nine episodes, and when we saw him again, we just got a flashback telling us that he realized he stopped having fun blading and that was what was dragging him down. We didn’t get to see exactly how he felt about his friend/co-captain betraying him, we just got little snippets that implied how he felt.

Suoh’s arc was also left unfinished, because after the cruise, he didn’t get enough screentime for us to see how he’d improved upon himself. He just stayed the same… and yet he and Fubuki somehow became friends again. Things happening off-screen don’t count. Dx

(I’m also frustrated that we didn’t get to see Toko have an arc, either, when he could have had a great one. Toko’s thing is that he tries being like other people he perceives as strong to BE strong, but he doesn’t realize that he just needs to be himself. That realization is supposedly what gets Treptune to resonate with him, and for Fubuki to pass on the title of Beigoma Academy Bey Club Captain to him, but do we see how he came to that realization? Nope!)

The ending of Beyburst didn’t feel satisfactory for me because not everyone got their stuff resolved, but it feels like the show is trying to act like they did. And also, I feel like the past/not focused-on characters have been done dirty by them only getting what are basically screenshots.

Have you ever had a strange beyburst fandom memory?

I have one and I want to tell about it. About 3-4 months ago I joined a youtuber's discord server. Youtuber was making beyblade videos and the server focus mostly beyblade burst. By the way, this server was not global but for my own country. I'll tell you a single memory about the server. One day I asked a question on the server. I asked how the last season of Beyburst should be. Someone suggested the idea of a season set in the future and with the children of beybladers. Obviously the idea was good. Then they started talking about what kind of people the beyblader's wives would be. Then someone said that Free and Akeno from Highschool dxd were compatible. He wrote, "Akane would suit Free." It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life and caused me to leave the server.

for the character thing you reblogged

mafuyu asahina (prsk) and shuu kurenai (beyburst)

if you want!

Mafuyu from Project Sekai

She needs a break. I love Mafuyu and it makes me sad to see her unable to stand up to her mother, but at least she's away from there now. She's so sweet, too, and it's clear that she really wants to be a nurse, even if she doesn't realize it herself, so seeing her suffering because her mother wants to redirect her to a path she doesn't enjoy just to make Mafuyu earn more money is definitely an experience

I'm definitely big on Kanade with Mafuyu, but lately I've started to really like her with the others in niigo.

Definitely Ena. Seeing Ena's reaction to Mafuyu's surprisingly blunt comments is always really funny.

I don't know if it's really that unpopular, but I don't really see her as transmasc. I definitely see where they're coming from, and it's a very fun scenario to explore, but I just don't feel like she is. If you headcannon that have fun though. Don't let my opinion stop you from enjoying stuff.

This is probably gonna happen eventually, but I want to see her making actual decisions for herself, even for minor/inconsecuential things (sorry darkness festa event has not left my brain)

Shu from Beyblade Burst:

(okay so it's been a good while since i've seen beyburst and i stopped halfway into evo so please excuse me while i open the wiki. i'm probably gonna say some weird shit due to that lmao. also since i didn't see beyond evo i'm gonna keep my answers around those two seasons. i don't think i can answer but i'm gonna try dammit)

Shu's pretty cool. I did not like the way he acted with his injury or how he disappeared during evo but he's still cool.

I actually don't see him with anyone at all, so instead I'm gonna tell you about something that happened to me lmao. i used to confuse him with Shun from Bakugan Battle Brawlers a lot when I didn't really know about either show.

I liked seeing him with Valt, and seeing him with Daigo was pretty cool too.

I have zero idea of what people say about beyburst lmao

No comment ._ . I don't know what to put here

[phaeroh]

I'm glad it has something similar to a face bolt

Because that's the problem with beyburst for me, although the design is cool, I can't tell which one is which

[icyprii]

Guys i think there’s a worm in my ear telling me that i should draw genderbend beyburst characters in aikatsu coords

Lattu Is Not A Good Friend To Ajay

Another day, another yapping session with me-

I've finished my exams, I'm working on Beyburst fic with 7 chapters and chapter 8 is still wip, now I had another topic I want to discuss.

I'm here to explain how and why Lattu isn't exactly a good friend to Ajay.

Beware that these are just me yapping myself away like I always do, backed up by general researching and observations. Please do not take it seriously. If you have opposing opinions, do share them politely.

Lattu Doesn't Treat Ajay All That Well

Ik you might be saying like; "but Kay, they're close and stuck to each other like glue. And they're best friends-" yeah, I get that, and I understand.

But my point is that, the fact that how easily he could forget about Ajay's existence the moment LS appeared is-

Many, and I do mean, MANY times when some shit went down, everyone panicked, LS came, save the day, everyone happy.

Plenty times where Lattu was with Ajay when shit like this happened, and not once, and I do mean NOT ONCE Lattu ever spoke out that his "best friend" is missing after the day has been saved.

Boy, you sat RIGHT NEXT with an introvert you befriended, who you call a "best friend" at that, too. But the moment your idol appears, he suddenly became air? Are you being fr rn??

Many will argue that Lattu just forgot it as a one time thing- no, it's not a one time thing, it's a constant thing.

And the fact that Lattu blatantly said that after LS, Ajay is his best friend, straight to his (Ajay's) face to at that, like?? Excuse me?? Ajay might've laughed it off, but you can't tell me that he felt hurt, even if LS and Ajay are th same person.

(The video in question)

Imagine if Ajay and LS are completely different people altogether; Ajay would've been more hurt than he was originally. Your own best friend, said that you are second to his idol? Idk about y'all, but if that were me, I would drop that friend immediately, no questions asked. Blocked, distanced, everything. I'm not trying to be mean or anything; I just don't want to stay in a friendship where I wasn't being treated properly.

And treating someone properly is clearly not in Lattu's dictionary, no matter how harsh it might sound.

The Difference Between Lattu And Babli As Ajay's Friends

Listen; I'm not trying to be biased or anything, but I just think that Babli is a much better person as Ajay's best friend.

Like- girlie was the only person in his private life aside from family that know of his dual-life situation, and she supports him and is actually there for him through and through.

Of course, being the daughter of a senior professor might've played a part here a bit, but even if that wasn't the case, she would still be supportive of him no matter what, because she actually cared about him, and being an actual friend to him both as Ajay and LS at the same time.

Through their expeditions together, for Babli, her friend group remains unchanging; Ajay and LS are the same person, so there's no need for her to ask for Ajay to invite him to their little shenanigans with LS. Her best friend is literally already there as is.

Lattu on the other hand, for as much as I know, he never once ever asked Ajay if he would be interested in coming to join their chaos getaway with LS, and he's the person who's unaware of Ajay's dual-identity. He technically treated two people completely differently.

"He might've asked him off-screen". That might be the case, but I will never excuse the fact that Lattu had zero thoughts when it comes to his own best friend in favor of his idol. None.

If Their Friendship Breaks Apart, It's Not Ajay's Fault

I feel like instead of because of how Ajay kept a secret from Lattu, it'll be because Ajay realized he wasn't being treated fairly like a friend when he's being himself, his real self, and Lattu is just too absorbed into his alter-ego than anything.

We have to always remind ourselves that "Little Singham" is not Ajay's real identity; this is explicitly said multiple times already throughout the series. Little Singham is merely an alter-ego that Ajay created due to his work line. The flamboyant and open-energy personality isn't Ajay's actual personality. Ajay has always been the quiet, introverted, and shy kid who is quite invisible in his own class, with only 2 people ever see him, sometimes even 5.

Lattu, basically in a sense, favors Ajay as someone else rather than Ajay's real self, and that's what I think will be the breaking point for Ajay at some point to break away from this relationship; it's no use to be in a relationship where you won't be valued as yourself, and only being valued by only putting up a persona that is anything but yourself.

This might've appeared in an alt universe more than anything lmfao, but my point still stands.

I mean like- Lattu is blind asf dawg; when LS is clearly barefaced, he doesn't realized shit. Suspected Aadi to look familiar, while Baaghi is literally right there not far from them, like hello??

I'm not trying to hate on Lattu, no. He's honestly a good character if he was written right. I just have problems with how he is with his friendship with Ajay, and how bad the relationship is, whether anyone realized this or not.

Then again, they're 9 year old children, I'm not gonna expect them to behave like a teenager when it comes to their relationships, but usually in childhoods, anywhere below 12 at least, friendships are highly valued, and I don't think Lattu is doing a good job on that.

Babli is honestly the most solid friend Ajay could ever had. Cuz not only since they're friends since childhood, they're still close to this day to the point of siblinghood (I'm sure Avishkar took care of him to some extent after Akira left).

That's probably all. If there's more, I'll add later

[daydream-comet]

Absolutely agree on grev ruining her purpose. Most of the time she felt obsolete and made fun of, esp the cooking part like where did that come from? She had enough knowledge about cooking in that one barbeque ep in v force and was giving everyone instructions on what to do. And like being a person who likes cooking a lot, I can tell by her mannerisms that she indeed DOES know how to cook (okay, let me stop here, or else I might go on a rant about cooking xD).

And yess she definitely deserved a backstory. Like vforce starts with having already established that hiromi, kyoju and takao are classmates and hiromi being the strict and studious class president, so timeline wise it might make sense that takao and hiromi were also childhood friends (kinda like how valt and shu are in beyburst) and we know that before s1 takao didnt have any close friends except people who he had battles with (like Akira etc.) so like there's a missed opportunity right there. And like we could get to know more about her interests like in the fortune-telling books too, what got her into it? Why does a practical-minded person like her has a thing for the supernatural/paranormal? It makes her more human and realistic in a way.

And yes she DID deserve a beyblading arc, like what traits of a blader does she doesn't have? And despite the fact that her views on beyblading were initially not pleasant, though still justified, she was humble enough to see it from the boys' point of view and even learn about it, and lets not forget her regime was the one that helped the team master the magnacore system. (And her advice is a good one from an academic point of view as well, if you don't know the basics well enough cough maths cough you can't progress further and will fumble in the long run. Like I did once :P). And she definetly helped takao with his patience problem. Mentioning the barbeque ep once again, she knew everyone was a bit tensed at that time (I mean who wouldn't be, they saw someone die) and she knew a bit of relaxation was needed. She made all cook together, and she knew food would calm them down, esp takao who LOVES food. And guess what she was right and we later see takao, max and rei apologise to each other.

And yea the dynamic was wayy better in v force than in grev (can I just say grev ruined rei and takao's friendship? Like from that teary-eyed handholding passing-the-torch scene in the s1 finale to that is just....meh) and dare I say that Zeo was a well written character, like their mentor-student/idol-admirer dynamic was fun to watch (also I wish we got mentor arcs in bsb like we got in beyburst, like there are snippets here and there but it'd be so cool and if someone like Hitoshi can be a coach then why can't they, Max would be a great coach along w Takao) and like a part of you like feels the string takao felt when Zeo abruptly left and then his sudden heel-turn and revelation. And Takao treating Daichi like his little brother was a far better dynamic than what we got in grev (I got why Takao acted the way he did, but still. that and grev never mentions daichi's backstory. Like if the movie is non-canon at least mention it in the canon one??? I do like grev but damn it has got a lot of flaws too). I think it also has to deal with the age differences w Takao being 14 in the movie and 15-16 ish in grev. Like its obvious that he'd see daichi as an annoying kid in grev while in the movie he's treating him more of like a young friend and being like "wow you dress like mogli" and basically teasing in a sibling-banter manner. Also I think the reason Takao sympathized with daichi is because he gets the pain and grief of losing a parent and having to fend for yourself on your own while trying to reach the top, hence why later on he is a lot more openly affectionate towards him and was the most concerned about saving him. (Also I find it both cute and funny that after daichi fainted from takao's spook at the cemetery takao dragged him back to their place instead of going back to the festival while at the same time being like "why me???")

And yes daichi was so much more well written in the movie. Like sure he wanted to beat takao and was on a goose chase but it wasn't exactly an obsession either. Like after takao brought him back he still stuck to them like a leech but wasn't really 'ruining their vacation' and instead joined them lol, eating food w them and joining them in the beach and thirdwheeling tyhil in the boat and basically being all like "oh alright you arent fighting me now lets fight later, meanwhile I'm gonna hitchhike a ride with you and won't stop haunting your very existence untill you do so. Now, where the food?" (I'd argue the movie should've been the canon start to s3. Oh, and that cave scene. I. HAVE. A. LOT. TO. TALK. ABOUT. THAT. CAVE. SCENE.)

Vforce deserves a lot lot more love than it gets, and its not fair calling it the worst season only for the lack of a proper world tournament while ignoring its hidden gems. Sure it has flaws, but you can see the effort put behind it and be like "yea atleast they tried, maybe something went wrong but atleast there was an attempt". And Hiromi was an amazingly well written character despite being an anime-only exclusive. And I definitely like the saint shields + Kane and Salima in the anime than in the manga.

Wow I've been talking for a while now 😅 sorry I'll stop here xD.

V-force Hiromi thank you for being the icon ever, being chaotic and silly (esp that punch like yas gurl throw hands!! <3) like the others while being the mom friend of the group and doing an actual good job at consoling Takao/keeping him in line while being mature about his feelings too, being a therapist to Kai and many more moments. She's basically the emotional stability the gang lacked previously. And lets not forget the boat scene in the movie when Daichi was telling Hiromi about how his dad died and why he was hell bent on beating Takao, her response was that of understanding as she got where Daichi was coming from as a kid who was trying to fullfill his father's last wish, that was very sweet of her ngl (Takao's response to Daichi's revelation was sweet too, in his own way. I might make another post on that. Personally I prefer their dynamic in the movie than in G-revolution tbh. Also the idea if the team randomly adopting a tiny homeless redheaded gremlin is wayy funnier, like "oh, he's not gonna leave us be, and he doesnt have a home to go back to, guess he's staying with us now huh. Welcome to the gang bud" *daichi proceeds to latch onto them like a leech*)

New character

{BeyBurst Gachi, ep.30}

[candycrypt1d]

beyburst gt bullshit

I noticed a very interesting parallel between Delta and Drum while watching GT. when Drum talks to Dragon before battle, it's Dragon who's relying on Drum - Dragon always says "*You* aim for this" or "I know *you* can do it" and stuff like that, but it's the other way around with Delta. Delta is the one relying on Diabolos - asking if *Diabolos* is satisfied and telling *Diabolos* where to aim. their relationships with their beys are very similar but also very different and i think that's really cool

I think it shows how afraid Delta is to rely on others, because he does everything to get stronger alone, and if Diabolos isn't satisfied, then it's not enough. Diabolos specifically told him not to let Drum get in his way when battling Arthur for the first time - and Delta obeyed. Delta doesn't want to let Diabolos down - and while Delta is the blader in control here, it really is Diabolos who's pulling the strings.

Again, it's the opposite with Drum - Drum is always looking towards his friends and relying on them and Dragon, but he feels confident enough to stand on his own and go after what *he* wants. Dragon is more of a guide to Drum. The ability to rely on others is really what Delta lacks and it makes for such interesting parallels between the two. 

Delta is really only thinking about what Diabolos wants and yes, he's making Diabolos stronger - but Delta himself isn't getting stronger at all, and the fact that it takes Diabolos breaking for him to realize that is actually really sad. Delta loses the one he relied on - he loved Diabolos more than anything - and Delta depended on Diabolos to feel stronger and gain power, so without Diabolos? Delta feels nothing.

When Dragon broke, Drum was able to think about what he wanted as a blader and that's to make Dragon the strongest in the world - and Aiga recognized that, since he's had Achilles have the same thing happen - so it shows it's not Drum only relying on Dragon, but Drum can stand alone in a much different way than Delta can.

Adding onto this, once Diabolos is revived, Delta says “This is MY Diabolos.” He’s finally taking things for himself - Delta is fighting for himself *and* Diabolos, not just Diabolos. Delta also finally lets Drum hug him - albeit a bit disgruntled. Delta is standing on his own, but now he knows he wants someone to support him - shown when he smiles at Drum’s encouragement. Delta is now speaking as the blader - not the bey. He isn’t saying “Diabolos is going to beat you”. He’s saying, “I’m going to beat you.”

Delta has moved past being Diabolos’ vessel. He’s the one who calls the shots now, and he knows it. Instead of saying things like “Diabolos is going to absorb your light”, Delta is saying exactly what he wants, and he knows he’s going to get it. He has friends behind him - he’s no longer afraid to disappoint Diabolos because he became one with Diabolos. The two are now one and the same. They are working together. And Delta is directly defying Diabolos. 

When Diabolos says “We’ll attack harder”, the old Delta would have nodded and did what Diabolos said. This time, though, he says “No, we have to find another way. We’re doing things my way this time.” Diabolos isn’t commanding Delta, and Delta isn’t being guided by him either. They’ve formed a completely new bond and instead of Delta relying heavily on Diabolos, they’re relying on each other. Diabolos still wants power - but Delta acknowledges that and goes “Okay, but we’re doing it *my* way and you’re going to trust me.”

It really does show that Delta still loves Diabolos more than anything. But Delta has both feet on the ground now - they’re still fighting together - Delta just has much more control, and a much stronger will to take things for himself - not just Diabolos.
