Byler Week Day 5 — Secret Identities

very loosely interpreting the prompt for today but i've had this idea for a while and... secret identities, Superheroes, that works. anyone who knows me well probably could have seen something like this coming LMAO

also trying to draw Robin & Superboy costumes that look thrown together and home-made when i have spent so much time drawing their actual designs was a challenge

I really…

… Love T&B s2 for exploring Yuri a bit more.

I was already fond of him from s1, but I just got more and more attached in s2 (and then they had to go and do that).

I think, in his own, slightly messed up way, he does actually like Kotetsu. While watching I joke about Tiger being his favourite hero, but I think, in a way, he is, because of how honest he is. Tiger has an idea of 'justice,' and he'll argue w/ Yuri, both as Lunatic and as a judge, about it. Yuri doesn't get a lot of people debating w/ him. In addition, I think he does genuinely consider Kotetsu a noble person, despite his own twisted up priorities and ideals. That's not to say he'll hesitate to fight him if they're on opposite sides, but I think he puts stock in Kotetsu's convictions and values even more than some of the other characters.

And on the flip side, I think part of the reason Kotetsu also bothers him is that he's not just reminded of his father, but I think he sees who his father was once/should have been. Even though they argue some of the same concepts, and even though Yuri gets a bit riled up when his view is challenged (bc it brings his own conflicts and self loathing to the surface), Kotetsu never gives any indication of actually ending up like Legend. He tries to retire, then is fine sticking in Second League, and just continues adjusting and doing what he can w/ the one minute he has. He doesn't take the frustration out on other people. And I think that's part of what gets under Yuri's skin when that conversation comes to a head bc in a way, it proves it is possible. Maybe that his father's fall from grace could have been avoided. Maybe that his stance is wrong, and he's got so much untreated mental and emotional trauma balled up in there that he's just straight up not ready to deal w/ it (gods, that man needs therapy so badly).

And that's part of what makes the official ending (barring any continuations that produce any miracles [no, I have not already Fixed It in my headcanon, leave me alone!]) so tragic, is that maybe, honestly, Kotetsu and Barnaby could have helped him get to the help he definitely needed. I actually really liked their interactions—and while I'm mainly talking about Kotetsu in this post, I do think Yuri also… Kinda identifies w/ Barnaby (abused by a father [figure] who espoused noble ideals while doing terrible things), and genuinely meant to 'help' by going after Maverick… Except of course that answer didn't help Barnaby any more than it's helped him.

To try and get to what I think my point was, the two of them likely stood the best chance of getting through to him. One, in a way, knows a little bit of what he's going through (including 'traumatised at a young age') and the other is straight up a good fucking person who I think personifies (if a little more of a dumbass than intended) what Yuri initially considered heroes to be/thinks they should be, deep down. It was enough to make me wish those three had gotten more, in depth interactions on their own, makes me think that they really would have had the best chance to talk him off that ledge… If it hadn't been for Other Factors.

If any of that made sense? Listen, it's late, I'm on my second rewatch right before I go to bed, I have Thoughts.

The most hilariously humiliating thing happened at work today. My coworker’s husband came in and while I was ringing up his purchase he was like “hey this is weird, but can you turn your head and move your hair? I want to see your earring.”

So I do

And he’s like “Wow I like your Emet-Selch earring. So I take it you enjoyed Shadowbringers?”

And I respond “congrats on being the first person to actually know you what the earring is from.” And then I have to acknowledge that I’m only on Heavensward patch, like a fucking clown. So I do. And I explain to him the Cursed Amulets of information I have about him because I have to give some fucking reason as to why I own these.

And he just replies “oh, you’re down bad, huh?”

It is at this point I make a noise that can only be described as a clown who has just eaten the squeaky part of a dog toy

He did follow this up with “listen I do not blame you at all”

And then I finish ringing him up. I print his receipt and tell him to have a good day. He asks me to tell him when I actually get to shadowbringers.

I found someone else who was at the Devil’s Sacrament and he called me a simp. This is worse than when a friend asked me if I was into femboys after looking up a picture of Aymeric. This is my friends fault and I can never play this game again

[m00ngbin]

[skhardwarevers1]

I also wanna say that my friend that has been inquiring about whether or not Chonny uses organic hair products doesn’t want to know for any particular reason? She just wants to know? Just to know? It’s been a thing for like three weeks now. She confuses me

..... After playing the new Baxter Dlc for Our Life I don't think this will be a purely Obey Me blog...

Listen I ALWAYS loved Cove, but I played Our Life before making this blog! Now that I've played the Baxter Dlc I'm itching to write something for him! And Cove to!
