this is a tiny pet peeve but i think its kinda odd that people seem to like. forget, or maybe just neglect to take into account, that yellow, for whatever reason (whether he's an alt universe john or a fresh piece of this universe's KIY that kayne went and ripped off) has ALSO been trapped in the dark world prior to being with arthur and has exactly as many Feelings about it. this is a very load bearing character trait imo

#the nemesis speaks #mv liveblog #malevolent spoilers #standard ''fandom hermit'' disclaimer most of my perception of common hc/characterization here is just osmosis from fics ive read #this is why i lean way more towards the ''alt timeline john'' idea than anything else #bc how does it work otherwise. did kayne grab a new piece of the king and then. stick it in the dark world to finish cooking?#i mean i wouldn't put it past him i guess it just seems like a needless logistical investment on his part #anyway more to the point. in terms of personality/character i think both of them are several layers removed from the king atp #and it's BECAUSE of the dark world. BECAUSE they went through this process of being helpless and fighting for their lives #that's why yellow is Like That. this is why he bites.#you think the king would be that goddamn defensive and scared and easily cowed by threats?? fuck no. hes better than that #relatedly i think ppl overestimate how much yellow actually remembers of being the king #and correspondingly underestimate how much the persona really is just a mask he grabbed at to defend himself from arthur #''ok you're saying that i am this thing and you hate and fear it so i'll become it and then you'll stop snapping that fucking whip at me''#like cmon. you make a guy feel so fucking lost and small and helpless and then tell him that he used to be a fucking GOD #what is he supposed to do besides lean into that idea in hopes of getting any of that power back to defend himself with??#yellow my poor lil meow meow... my sad wet cat who refuses to admit he is wet or sad...#anyway i'll stop doing character analysis in the tags now
