#i will be reblogging all of the polls btw

[sojourner-between-worlds]

Thanks to @ygobattleroyale 's King of the Autism poll/tournament/thing that's gearing up, I am here to once again spread propaganda for my (current) favorite autistic blorbo, Yusei Fudo, since he rightfully made the bracket.

I had a whole essay started once that I never finished, but here I will be summing up some of the main points. This is also based on the sub. (Not hating on the dub in this post but the two are so vastly different they are practically different canons so I thought I should probably specify.)

Someone on here pointed out once that Yusei has "resting b*tch face" aka flat affect and I've been thinking about that ever since. (Wish I could credit them but I can't find the post again, haha. Had screenshots and everything. Very thorough.)

He's pretty straightforward. He says what he means and he means what he says. He doesn't sugarcoat things or beat around the bush. The first line he has is a very blunt question followed by an equally blunt response to the answer he receives.

My guy oscillates wildly between semi-verbal and hyperverbal. He's the main character but you literally do not hear his voice for the first seven minutes of the show and when he's not in life-threatening situations he's really pretty quiet most of the time. But then you also have the episode with Bruno where Crow comments how Yusei has never talked to him that much at once -- maybe in total ever -- and along with that, Jack being offended that apparently Yusei never has important conversations with him (also pertains to the above point since Yusei was being very blunt in that moment and a little bit mean, though that's not the way he obviously meant it to be, lol.)

The whole of meeting Bruno, okay? All Of That. He makes friends with Bruno in about .2 seconds to the point of sharing Super Secret Plans with him all because of a shared interest in mechanics and engineering. #autisticbonding

Crow also points out that Yusei really seemed to perk up while talking to and working with Bruno, which is very on point for engaging with a special interest especially when you have someone to engage in said interest with.

He's obviously shown to have a strong interest in Duel Monsters (obviously) as well as mechanics and engineering. He built his first fully functional d-wheel out of scrap parts by the time he was 16, after all.

During the WRGP opening gala, one of the other teams comes up to him and are excited and wanting to talk to him and he completely brushes them off and walks away. Crow calls him out on it (“hey man, that was really rude!”) and he’s like “oh whoops, yeah I guess you’re right.” He may have been distracted by other things, but this is still peak "failure to read social cues".

Having a strong moral compass gets him into trouble on more than one occasion. Because of his circumstances, he has a strong (and justified) distrust of authority, and he’s not afraid to break laws that he deems unjust. Even though breaking out of Satellite isn’t in itself for any moral reason (its just the means to an end), he isn’t afraid of breaking the law that says he isn’t allowed to leave because he sees that law as unjust and doesn’t understand why it exists. (For the record, it is unjust but that’s not the point, haha.)

I am sure there are more points, but that's all I've got for now, haha. Feel free to add anything I missed, and be sure to vote for Yusei when the polls start!

omg guys i am on a rolll, the smut is smutting for sure🙂‍↕️ BUT in the mean time whilst i finish up everybody’s sections (just have i.n, felix, changbin and seungmins left) i have an ot8 group chat x reader text fic that i was testing out.

DO you guys want it now whilst i finish up the smut? i think you’d enjoy it. it’s a bit silly BUT thanks to my lovely beta reader @19marka , i’m sure some questions can be asked from it and theories (if you care that much).

so you know what time it is, POLL TIME BABYYY

by now i mean literally today or tomorrow depending on time zones because it’s ready

this will also let me see how many of my followers are still active and or are tuned in. especially since my account has been collecting dust for months but i’m in a ‘fuck it let’s go’ stage of my life so we balling!

Not gonna lie, I think I could trust a horse more than a car. Ironic, considering I’ve never ridden a horse and have driven a car a total of three (3) times before.

* Character limit doesn't let me explain this one but the idea is to create a sucking force kinda like a plunger or something

** I used to do this for my pollen allergies but the weird part is I can target a single ear depending on the tone

I think the fanon has the tendency to push a characterisation to the extreme, exhaust it, and then flip it, and in the process canon is out of the window. I think Lupin can be in between, but nuance and subtlety are not the fanon’s forte. I read book Remus as avoidant, secretive, but also extremely kind (the conversation with Harry about no one deserving a Dementor’s kiss?), and not at all awkward in front of people, since he immediately won over pretty much all of his students. My least favourite fanon characterisation of him making him kind of a snappy dick, but I think that’s canon flipping things for you - Sirius is a snappy dick.

yeah you're right tbh, I think there's an ideal balance between an overly broody angsty Remus and an overly pathetic softboi one. From what you say here it seems like we have a pretty similar interpretation of him; there is some broodiness and angst, a complex inner world, but he also has empathy and kindness. He's not really an "extreme" character either way which is why I think him becoming a violent, uncontrolled monster once a month is such a great contrast. The adjective that comes to my mind when I think of Remus is 'mild' lol, I think it's used a lot in the books to describe his dialogue: "Lupin said mildly." He's lukewarm. He's just some guy.

Honestly I was shocked when I decided to give That Popular Fanfic an honest go and he was just a raging dickhead. #notmyremus.... I suspect that's where that characterisation of Remus comes from, or why people apparently think he was the most sarcastic marauder which is absolute insanity. I mean I'm sure he had his moments of understated sarcasm but it's just that in my opinion, understated. There's the "did you like question ten, Moony?" exchange but the people forget that Sirius started it, Remus was just 'yes and'-ing him lmao I don't think he should get all the credit for that one.
