but people who hate popular things are just as annoying as people who overhype popular things.

edit: more annoying than people who overhype popular things*

playing ddlc for the first time in a while with a friend who's never played it before, and it got me thinking about my silly little queer headcanons again.

acespec yuri is so important to me. i realize this may be controversial because yuri is, both textually and subtextually.. just, so horny. (and kinky but this post isn't about that.) and i'm sure part of why i hc her as acespec is just projection and wish fulfillment - she is a cool character, we have some things in common, i like it when characters are like me.

but there's something else going on here, and i think i finally know what it is: yuri's yandere descent into madness and obsession with the protagonist is basically just what happens when you live as ace for years, thinking sexual attraction is only a thing in books and having a purely intellectual interest in it, and then find the one person you're actually extremely attracted to. i see u girl. this shit is crazy.

riku’s whole series-spanning journey of redemption and trying to become the hero he was supposed to have been is kind of interesting to me. bc he like hardcore beats himself up over what he did but it’s not even the worst thing he did. yeah he gave in to darkness in kh1 but it’s really hard to blame him for all that much imo. not trying to say it was fine but in the grand scheme of things idk. again in the sequence leading up to kh2 he resorts to using the power of darkness to defeat roxas and in kh2 he’s beating himself up for that again. all like oh man i’m not worthy to be sora’s friend i’m not worthy of anything. meanwhile sora has never once this whole time felt resentment for riku and just wants him to come home and really riku you don’t have to beg him for forgiveness. but riku is really trying to forgive himself. bc he’s so hurt by the fact that he ever hurt sora at all. we see it all the way up to kh3 how much regret he feels for what happened all the way back in kh1. he is deeply devoted to sora and it makes him blind to the fact that hey um. you’ve actually like hurt several other people along the way maybe like apologize to them and earn their trust maybe it’s actually your bond with other people you gotta work on. like maybe go talk to roxas actually maybe go communicate clearly with kairi for the first time in years maybe say hey xion sorry for telling you to uhhhhh do that. like

“I wish they were canon” canon is seldom correct. Let’s start there

[much2leite]

The upside of having no followers is I could say the most controversial thing and it would have no repercussions.

Like,

I'm against marriage. Just in general, marriage. It's quite offensive, people pairing up and excluding me from their pairs. Pair elitists. I'm pairophobic.

hey, your response to my thoughts on szobo were great! so level headed. i’m not a szobo hater or anything and ofc, as an lfc fan, i want nothing but success for him. but i defo believe the hype is getting to his head and time will tell how long this lasts. if it persists, i don’t think he’s right for the club and could cause major issues in the morale. even mo salah has never had en ego and that’s exactly why our team works. but given that he’s new to the country and the PL, he’s just needs some serious media training

Sorry for the whole essay I left on your post haha

I just so your post, thought it was great and wanted to share my thoughts as well! Thank you for messaging me, sharing your opinion, I really do appreciate it, and I think you are correct in many things.

Personally, I wouldn't go as far to say that the hype is getting to him, sure, ever since coming to lfc he has blown up, to a much bigger audience and fans than ever before, but as someone who has been following him for years (especially in the NT, where he has been almost worshipped for years now as some kind of savior), he has always been like this. By that I mean his sense of humor, his personality, mentality, he has been like this since he made his his first debut to the NT. In the last year the hype around in Hungary reached the sky, to say he is popular and loved is an understatement. Interestingly, I think he handled this worship he receives in Hungary pretty well, I would say before, he had a much bigger head (of course he was younger as well) than he does now. Since he became captain he matured even more, and even the very, very strict hungarian media backed off of from him. (There was a time when he was slandered for basically everything. Even his haircuts, claiming they made him have a big face and nothing else on the pitch 😂)

I saw a journalist call his confidence borderline arrogance, or something like that, and that is probably the best way to describe him. There is a very narrow line between having limitless, shameless confidence in yourself like he does or having an ego, I understand that to many, it's rather the second they feel like he has. Certainly, all those interviews, him being very noticeably unprepared (which is very weird imo) for a media of this caliber, the popularity and attention he receives for being a lfc player, didn't help much. Sure, we can (and should) talk about context, language barrier, cultural differences, but at the end of the day, he really shouldn't have said those things. He really does media training or just a chat about all of this with the staff, because at the moment I Will admit it really is not looking good.

Still, I do believe this whole thing is being blown out of proportion at this point, mainly due to his first truly poor performance.

I guess only time will tell how he reacts to all these, if he changes, learns and I do hope he does, but in the same time, I do feel like some are being way to harsh on him, almost trying to see things that, in my opinion, are not there.
