#im not sure how to put it yet#like. he was literally created for conflict. so he has that thing that those characters have#he craves violence almost mindlessly. he reacts with violence as his first instinct because in a way its all he knows#but his whole life has also been *fake.* the fights he went through every week were fake. for television.#hes seen his comrades die and hes watched so many of his kind be obliterated#the most he knew of human life was from old VHS tapes they were given by the rangers#so his perception of 'evil'- the thing he is supposed to be- is comically childish#D wants 'world domination'. and his vision of that is just... a world where he and the other footsoldiers get to live#its always images of them riding in cars and eating food and playing games. things hes seen humans doing#D knows inherently if not actively that either side he accepts means to lose. being a footsoldier means to lose#youre nameless. faceless. you exist to be destroyed. either by the enemy or by your superior#hes truly the underdog here. i respect that about him. even if he doesnt understand why hes fighting#the whole story is about rooting for the underdog but everyone has different reasons for it and D is the purest form of it#hes fighting because its all he knows. because he has no choice. because he has to. who else will? who is he if hes not fighting?#i like this quote here bc something about him is so sad but also in a way i think he embodies hope. in its most raw formless sense#the kind of hope where you keep going no matter what because either you move or you die. and dying is the loss condition#IDK. ITS LITERALLY ALMOST 1 AM IM WALKING IN CIRCLES. HE JUST FASCINATES ME#null havoc damage#loser ranger
