SPOILERS FOR BSD SEASON 5 FINALE

I just - *sigh* okay, I just finished BSD season 5. Obviously I'm NOT okay because of skk shinskk and old men DYING IN EACH OTHERS' ARMS and ALL OF WHATEVER HAPPENED WHEN BRAM GOT A BODY *gestures frantically*

But to be really honest the main feeling I have is largely disappointment. This is going to be a very hot take but I actually hated how the arc panned out. Yes yes war ending yes everyone needs to stop fighting blah blah blah but IMAGINE. IMAGINE if the plot unfolded the way it was planned - Fukuchi being evil all along. Him eradicating war by eradicating humankind (the most evil, at least) by making armies destroy each other. And then making everyone build a nation (or not a nation, since he hates those) from the ashes of what's left. How his ideals become twisted from war, his glorious purpose and beliefs completely changed from the war.

Instead of whatever code geass-esque ending we got here. Except not even then because Suzaku killing Lelouch actually DID do the whole build-up justice. The build-up of BSD was so good - everything was paved so well and so nicely done, and then you're telling me he wanted to kill HIMSELF at the end? There's no hint to this, no SLIVER that the audience could've grasped at this. I've always believed that the best plot twists are the ones you see coming a mile away. This is more like a brick being dropped onto your head while you're walking. Maybe the new sequel has Fukuchi being revived and killing everyone again (it certainly looks like him, but also why are we fighting TWO HOURS AFTER again)

Anyways if Asagiri doesn't come out with something new for the October manga I'll shot myself

oh I forgot to add something I was gonna keep this in the notes but

The way that he keeps killing characters and bringing them back with a silly goofy explanation is genuinely doing my head in because at this point there is no IMPACT to character death. Shock value works only to a certain degree and it's getting a little boring to my flimsy ADHD-driven patience.

@sword-dad-fukuzawa tagging u cos I wanna hear ur thoughts

every day i remind myself that i really did spend a few days watching the entirety of code geass and that weird fuckin "revival of lelouch" movie. it's not leaving me. it's part of me forever. part of my memory. even influenced my identity, if by a little. just like the time i sat down for a week to watch The Office. and you know what? those two shows? they're the same in my eyes. it might seem bizarre. how can a mecha match a show that banks on second-hand embarrassment? i can't explain it. but i do know that michael scott is like suzaku and uh... dwight is lelouch. that means nothing. it's entirely meaningless and the hallmark of a man with the smoothest brain yet. it's poetic. it's tragic. it's a dogshit pile. it's a goldmine.

[dont-look-up-at-the-sky]

Really I couldn't agree more with @e-th-er. Being the most toxic pairing doesn't equate to being the most interesting/fascinating one – all of my fav ships have more than just a bit of unhealthiness in them, but, for e.g., I would happily give it to those two sick psychos from Killing Stalking which I could NEVER ship together if the yardstick is the mere toxicity and not the personal liking. The fact itself that KS didn't make it past round 2 really tells a lot about how the results are biased towards the most liked/popular ship instead of toxic, and I stress it again that being more toxic it's not a valuable thing if the term of comparison are the already mentioned Sangwoo and Yoonbum.

Suzaku and Lelouch are toxic to each other to such an extent that, as much as I recognise them as one of the very pillarstone in the history of the yaoi couples, if I'm being honest I don't truly ship them. I'm obsessed with their dynamic, SURE, bc it's so emotionally twisted, sick and tragic, so damaged, that I can't help to find it immesurably interesting (also, they're not a side aspect of Code Geass, their relationship is the fundament and the driving force of the plot itself). But I personally can't see a single moment where they could have worked well together in a romantic sense without it being straight up painful at the best and then, after a certain point in the story, out of pure self-loathing and mutual emotional abuse.

So I don't want to make it just a matter of kill count (even if damn THERE'S A LITERAL FUCKING NUKE INVOLVED. A NUKE. And that it's just to say one!), it's the way they're insane, morbid, downright destructive and chained to each other as if their relationship was a cell they can't escape even if it feels like being buried alive in a tomb where your only company is the ghost of what could have been IF… if there had been no war, if it hadn't been too late since the start.

The cell one is not a random metaphor. I can't give context to those who haven't watched Code Geass because it would be too long, but at some point in the OVAs they're actually prisoners in the same cell. Everything is dark, suffocating, claustrophobic, illuminated only by a neon green artificial light, which makes everything even more alienating and is also visually shaped like a net. Now, just imagine it. You, Suzaku, are trapped there with the person you (should) hate the most, a person that in his hallucinating state is also trapped in a more deep cell in his mind, which is the memory of the long-gone innocent time you spent together as you were still children, and precisely the day you shared the promise of being friends forever. Imagine being forced to revive that memory over and over and over again since your delusional cell mate keeps on talking about sunflowers and asks you for water bc in his mind it's a warm summer day, but in reality you are stuck in a prison, in winter, in Russia. You try as much as possible to isolate yourself, but at some point you get up to your feet and, without a blink, acting like an emotionless dead corpse, you put your hands around his neck to choke him, but more like you were trying to strangle that part of yourself that's still attached to what he once meant to you because the only way to free yourself is to kill him in your head first, to kill the past and all the pain it brings, but then… you can't. That's for me a very depicting way to express their kind of obsessive, poisonous, suffocating relationship.

I wanted to add my take on this aspect because a lot it's already been said about the more prominent events of their story, especially the murder-suicide ending. But really, if you like Hannigram better as a couple I totally understand, if you think it's more toxic… obviously you're allowed to have your opinion, but I don't comprehend.

funniest thing about the lelouch resurrection movie is that it continued the love triangle from the series except that for kallen shes stuck in an intense trial of self reflection on if she can really love lelouch or only zero how to differentiate the two if she can even forgive him for lying all this time and even accept that shes 'lost' compared to cc who was his trusted friend confidant silly rabbit meanwhile cc is like one beer away from trying to talk kallen into a threesome because now that lelouch isnt a vegetable anymore shes absolutely down bad. while all of this is happening suzaku is kicking the shit out of lelouch in what can only be described as a yaoi moment

----- I heard the voice of the world call to me as I slumbered on It echoed as the morning came, pervading my every waking thought The sheer amount of things that have come and gone leaves me paralyzed and at a loss of what to do But I gather my nerve because I remember The solemn oath to you that I will rise to my feet again Revive! Everything that I have ever come across Revive! Lives on within my ever-beating heart Revive, revive, revive! I won’t waver anymore Revive! The feelings that connect all of us (all of us) Revive! Ignite and burn forever warm and strong (warm and strong) Revive, revive, revive! I restart my life anew Revive! So glad you’ve gathered here again today Revive! To listen to me sing a song of hope Revive, revive, revive! A cycle without end in sight An eternal revive We are one and we are strong!
 A great and mighty force We are one and we are strong! For I’ve awakened and I see Oh, here we stand! That I love you all so dearly Revive! I’ll pledge myself to you all forevermore Revive! Surrounded by a sky of countless stars Revive, revive, revive! I won’t waver anymore Believe in me, Revive! Revive, revive, revive! I can see so clearly now Revive! Everything that I have ever come across Revive! Lives on within my ever-beating heart Revive, revive, revive! Reach out for tomorrow and seize the next Revive
