#if you like riara you'll probably love bonkai

[beautyinsteadofashes]

let me explain, they're the same person:

mostly shown to care about one sister of a similar age

complicated relationship with said sister

tries to kill said sister (multiple times?)

hates her idiot normie boyfriend/fiance

enemies with a black woman who has every right to hate him

betrayed by black woman who leaves him for dead.

shipped with said black woman in canon and AUs to varying degrees and pretty vocally to the point where actors are asked about it

murderous and somewhere on the sociopathic scale but the writers get attached to the character/actor and tone him down

wildly different interpretations within the fandom.

overstays their natural end on the show

hates on the male leads

mocks the scooby gang but also hangs around the periphery

daddy issues

wants to take over the family legacy but can't really handle the responsibility

attractive actors who are nice in real life and great friends with the cast but just enjoy the chaos of the character for the lols. that charm and fun comes through on screen and so people like the character.

fan favourite. some fans are lowkey obsessed.

underutilized relationship with younger sister.

entitled and arrogant

hold massive grudges

A KNIFE!

should lowkey actually be shipped with their co-villain.

the crossover potential is strong.

look at that s1 Shawn Hunter esque 90s haircut and tell me Rafe wouldn't fit right in in the prison world.

difference is rafe is sulky and kai is chatty

pretty sure kai would piss him off but kai would definitely win in a fight????

unless he lost his powers and then maybe older bulkier rafe could take him???
