#no protagonist is better or worse

[epickiya722]

Honestly the "this Shonen protagonist vs this Shonen protagonist, who would win" is so boring to me, it is.

It gets played out when people will go back and forth trying to explain why this protagonist would win, insults get thrown, etc.

It's like ship wars.

Instead, I like to think about how amusing it would be if Shonen protagonists switched places or something.

Like... imagine one protagonist handling another's biggest enemy with ease and telling the other one about it.

"Bro, it took like two punches."

"Oh my gosh. Thank you so much! Now I can just worry about my grades! I gotta graduate, you know!"

Like, a lot of the protagonists could relate to each other since some of them be high schoolers!

If they did do competitions, it wouldn't even like out of malice. Just friendly competition... and accidents.

"I did not mean to break your arm!"

"Ha, I'm used to it! No big deal!"

"WHAT?"

This is just me and I'm just saying, arguing about "who would win" is just so boring to me because what point is being made here? Where's the fun in that?

Yeah, who would win, but like... do you also know how vague that is?

Who would win in what? A tennis match? Jeopardy?

Also, consider the different elements that play into it! Settings, how their powers work, etc.

Seriously, open minds!

Tragic! Gorgeous game with extremely moving premise deathly afflicted with 2011 dialogue writing

it’s fascinating to me that from a character-build perspective, only two of the bells have what I’d call main character energy: imogen and ashton. the difference is that imogen knows she’s a main character, and she’s furious about it. ashton, meanwhile, is operating under the assumption he’s a bit player and wondering why they keep getting punched in the face by the Narrative

What is it like to lack a sense of agency?

What is it like to have it?

Heeheehoohoo time for a random not so popular opinion✨️

Mai Trin did not need and was not looking for redemption. She made it clear through dialog, especially with Marjory, that she couldn't make up for the people she killed and the lives she ruined. She didn't particularly care enough to even properly remember names.

She joined our team not because she left the Aetherblades, but because Ankka lead a mutiny and took them from her. There was no crew aside from Ivan for her to return to. She held onto Scarlet, a woman who inspired her and spurred her on, but who was equally unapologetic about her past.

She worked with us because it would also help her make things up to Joon, which she still clearly wasn't sure if it was even possible.

She helped us because in the face of a world ending, what else do you do. She liked her fresh start in Cantha, she loved working with new tech as did Scarlet. The two found a peaceful balance, and the world ending because of Ankka was gonna ruin that.

She didn't die because she was martyring herself or looking to be forgiven and wipe the slate clean and be seen as a hero. She died because she wanted the world to keep moving like most people do, and Scarlet in her head was the only one who could turn off that power grid. Ankka just unfortunately happened to catch up to her and corner her in that moment too. It sucks, but that's just how it goes.

Ellen Kiel can suck my ass.

finally got around to giving carol and the end of the world a try and this is definitely the meanest possible takeaway from only having watched one episode, but christ it's really serving "chubby introvert brunettes are the most oppressed people in the world" right out the gate huh

how to tell tumblr that i like danganronpa posts but komahina and saiouma make me physically ill

WOW are you serious Angel?! Bitching about being given a soul because it forced you to confront your own actions. Whining about how unfair it is that it took you 100 years to pull head out of your own ass and start doing something about your guilt, while Spike managed to push through.
