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.

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.
