#this is a character analysis

[rnn11203]

i am trying to find info on Mine’s relationship with kanda but im coming up a bit sparse...i read a rily good fic once that touched on the subject, it was a character analysis and i really liked how it explained how mine values people by their abilities, their worth to society, their worth to him. I liked how brash and sloppy kanda was, it really made Mine look especially stuffy in comparison. (I unfortunately don’t remember what it was called nor can i find it but.. whatever that is fine!)

I really like when his stuffiness is more defined, he’s obviously not afraid to work, or get dirty, but it’s clear that violence is a bit frustrating to him. I think it’s a timely thing for him, such a waste of energy sorta thing. Rather than a moral matter ofc. It’s just more efficient to talk or to bribe. I also like how much less boastful he is than other antagonists, hes not all “look at me, look what i am, how powerful i am” he knows his worth. He says it himself “im much stronger than i look”.

I dont remember if its mentioned in game but i wonder if he beheaded kanda himself or had someone else do it, i believe its only mentioned that he had people murder kanda for him (obviously i have no idea if this is true and its a bit too grotesque for me to fact check but i image beheading him alive would be quite difficult so im assuming hes killed and then beheaded). I think it adds to his character either way, part of me thinks he would think that kanda wasn't worth his effort that his hands would be sullied if they touched him. But i could also see him doing it himself, the beheading is an apology after all, an act of good faith if you will, and i could see doing it himself being important to mine. I think it'd be some twisted form of sincerity? Obviously its not just an apology though. It's a threat. I think doing it himself makes more sense also i dont see him feeling too much towards kanda to be THAT disgusted by him, he wouldnt be worth that effort ykk.. (also not insane btw i think this is a valid form of character analysis!!)

His mortality is so interesting to me, this is super cliche but i really like when characters hate "weak" people bc they themselves were "weak" people, they ve convinced themselves that the blame is within themselves and not that they simply just got the short end of the stick. It's no wonder that mine met 1 person who was kind and compassionate just... because, and yeah... mine yoshitaka u will always be famous to me.

A bit random to throw in at the end, but yakuza 3 is a bit romantic hm? In a way.. if you squint!

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

I'm jumping off a bridge. Their backstory is so tragic, I can't.

The fact that even Queenie being in the state she was, Kinger still found humanity in her, the fact that he risked his life knowing she could go crazy and attack him just so he could touch her one last time.

And the fact that Queenie allowed him to do it, the fact that she was able to keep control as a abstracted just so she could feel him. Because she loved him and he loved her back and both of them knew her fate, but in that moment, it was just them, their last moment together so both made it work.

This is such a powerful image I want to hug both of them.

this post was the catalyst for this comic, and i was also thinking of a desi song lyric (tere dil ke sheher mein ghar mera ho gaya / in the city of your heart, my home is made) and just... hmmm.... leaving your mark.... making a house into a home..... when the marks a child inevitably leaves behind (messes, scribbles, and in this case stickers) eventually fade away as they grow older and you're left with the memories stored in what hasn't been erased....

im not verbalizing it very well but catch my drift?

Two things can be and are true at once.

Robin Jason was a sweet, kind kid who cared about victims. He also had righteous rage and violent tendencies towards those he thought deserved it.

Being Robin gave him magic and as Robin he shattered a man's collarbone with no remorse.

i just love moments like these.

jax can seem like the 1 dimensional “haha evil shit i do evil shit for funnie haha” guy to a lot of people, which is the persona he tries to uphold throughout all the episodes. his mindset is that because nothing’s actually real, might as well cause chaos for the sake of it. it’s how he copes. but moments like these, where jax is being genuine even for a split second, really show so much for his character.

no, i don’t expect him to be redeemed. gooseworx says that he gets WORSE, and he IS an asshole to everyone around him. but under all of that he is still human. and after being presumably tortured by gangle for who knows how long he really doesn’t have the energy to keep up his fake evil persona. and so he asks pomni how she’s doing, an action which confuses her greatly.

most of the time, jax is terrified of showing weakness. hell, THIS is his reaction to the employee training session.

he’s just had his body twisted in all sorts of ways by a bunch of mysterious hands and his biggest fear is people seeing him weak.

jax you are so pathetic and i love you as a character greatly ❤️

"Caitlyn never verbally apologized" no, she did so much more than that.

She betrayed Ambessa. She let Jinx go. She led the battle against Ambessa in the finale. She lost an eye and nearly died. She gave up her seat on the council to Sevika so that Zaun could be represented.

Does it fix everything? No. Systems of oppression aren't fixed with a handful of well intentioned actions.

But Caitlyn DID feel remorse and DID make attempts to reverse her wrongdoings.

Did you want Caitlyn to change, or did you just want her to be punished?

A quick Analysis of Grown-Up Mylo and Claggor:

Mylo was always the insecure middle child looking for attention, and we see bits of those traits have survived in the slightly ostentatious way he dresses compared to his siblings, and the sarcastic way he greets Ekko. While everyone else is drinking from old steins, he's waving around a cocktail glass. And of course there's his weedy little moustache, which like all young men his age was grown mostly for the novelty, and because he thinks it makes him look older.

Claggor meanwhile was the awkward second-eldest sibling who often shared Vi's sense of responsibility, but not her confidence or authority. This changed when Vi died, and evidently Claggor has taken over her duties as the eldest. He's leading efforts to clean up the undercity, and was the one who tells Powder to help out Mylo, to give some examples. His manner of dress is also the most practical of his siblings, with accessories chosen not for style, but because they assist in his work.

Lastly, I feel I should touch on how Powder is so quick to play wingman for Mylo. Obviously everyone's matured since they were kids, but this specifically tells me two things:

1. Mylo must have stopped bullying Powder after Vi died, and she now views him quite fondly.

2. Powder understands her brother's bravado is an act, and actively helps him with his lack of confidence.

If I had to guess, Vi's death hit Mylo almost as hard as it hit Powder. Grief often leaves us vulnerable, which is probably what allowed the pair to properly share their feelings and bond as siblings. Nothing builds empathy like personal tragedy, after all.

my roman empire is the fact that dr. ratio couldn't get into the genius society because of how much he cares for others. my roman empire is the fact that the way that he loves and has too much empathy will be his own downfall. my roman empire is the fact that he spent so long thinking that he was enough only to be hit with the reality that the world and life is cruel and his heart is too soft for the universe he was born into.

my roman empire is that dr. ratio cares. he cares so damn much. he loved too much that it held him back from his ultimate goal.

dr. ratio they could never make me hate you.

Brennan’s talked before about how as a poor young adult he lived in New York and struggled with food security. He tells a story of going to frozen yogurt places for free samples and a cheap dumpling spot because it was a lot of food.

His opinions on food and his described behaviours around food make a lot of sense in that context. He may be successful now and can be assured he can eat again when he’s hungry, but it appears he has legitimate trauma around his experiences with poverty because what he’s humorously describing is a trauma response. His mind hasn’t gotten rid of the anxiety of “I’m eating now so I better make it count because I don’t know when I will again.”

Because he’s a comedian he manages to frame it as a joke, but there’s certainly an underlying sadness. It also informs Evan Kelmp’s characterization. Capitalism is the root issue here and poverty is state-sanctioned economic abuse.

Anyway, I hope he’s doing well and taking care of himself.

guys. going insane.

in these scenes, his hair gets way spikier than normal, they look like knives for gods sake. this only happens when he wants to seem THREATENING

but when around people he trusts like ROSIE his hair (probably unintentionally) gets ROUNDER and SOFTER, even his coat has less spikes than usual.

GUYS HE HAS A LITERAL SOFT SIDE IM GOING INSANE
