#i swear to SOME people (not everyone ofc i know fandom isn't a monolith and this fandom is very nice actually ^^) azul can do do wrong

[thegoldencontracts]

Canon Azul: Avid capitalist, willing to cheat others into servitude, and quite competent. Takes amusement in toying with his prey. Despite this, he does have his own pride and is ultimately a teenage boy.

Fanon Azul: Literally the biggest woobie boy ever. Will cry if you don't tell him you love him every five seconds.

Canon Jade: Rather similar to Azul in mindset. He too is willing to mess with others for his own gain. However, unlike Azul, he doesn't usually have the motive of gaining anything, he simply desires amusement. Despite his ordinarily composed demeanor, he is also a teenage boy at the end of things, and does have occasional moments of vulnerability like in his tsum event.

Fanon Jade: Literally Satan himself. The actual incarnate of malice. He eats people. He ate your grandmother. Now he's abusing you.

Just- how are the fanon perceptions of these two fairly similar characters so different? How is it that when Azul ordered Jade to wring Floyd out, it was "typical capitalist octopus behavior", but when Jade complied, it was "super messed up, it's unbelievable he'd do something like that". I swear, Jade could breathe and there'd be someone out there calling him an evil bastard for doing it, meanwhile Azul literally could commit war crimes and that same person would say "awww little capitalist tako bbg"
