so like…this is 100% why ivy had That Reaction to fig disguised as lucy, right? it wasn’t that she saw through the disguise, she just saw her once dead friend now revived (like the rest of the party had already been) and thought lucy finally chose ankarna (chose them)
‘why can’t they just be friends’ not in the dudebro way to discredit queer ships but in the ‘friendship can be just as fulfilling as romance and the immense affection and trust been two charas doesn’t need to be solely perceived as romantic, but in that same breath if you don’t like it as a romance, the bond still shouldn’t be downplayed or turned into something lesser than it is so you can say ‘see !! see they’d never date cause they don’t care abt each other!!’ while completely distorting their characters’ way
i hate that i have to clarify that what i’m about to write is not a ship post, i am capable of enjoying two characters relationship as very good friends and not only a romantic relationship despite my handle. but anyway.
people who hate laios/kabru so much they start ignoring the fact he essentially becomes laios’s best friend along with marcille by the end of the manga are kinda funny. you know you don’t have to ship them to acknowledge they become very close buddies right. kabru has his Red best friends(rin and laios), while laios has his Blue best friends(marcille and kabru)
even before they become close, kabru just has unwavering faith for him even if he didn’t entirely trust him. there’s about two times he says “i’ll leave it all to you, laios!” verbatim.
then kabru stays behind to help them finish what remains of faligon long after his party leaves. he’s weaved himself into the party so much, he’s included in a couple of touden party sketches and some that don’t even include namari or toshiro. he enjoys planning laios’s meetings that he has sparkles in his eyes. he gets legitimately upset when laios suggests something stupid to his corpse after he dies. he thought laios was testing him when laios asked if he could stay by his side(because he was already doing it!!)
laios provides a safe environment for him to do something he loves and highly values his opinions, and in turn he makes laios not feel stupid. claiming that laios is his bumbling pawn or hes gonna leave melini for whatever reason is essentially AU fan fiction disguised as meta posts. how can you claim to be a fan of him and… not even trust his intentions? laios even tells marcille that kabru makes for a better king than he does, so i imagine it was brought up at some point and kabru was very against the idea.
as much as i think the conniving vizier jokes were mildly funny until it got old, he is really just a good person who believes in laios’ abilities as a ruler. even if he has to whisper a bajillion cheat codes to him most of the time.
god i really thought you people were lying about laios and kabru just for the sake of pretending like there is a gay little thing going on when its questionably textual at best but this shit is for real fascinating. unprecedented. master manipulator kabru playing both sides operating behind six layers of sublimated yaoi to obsessively plot laios' downfall. and on the other side of the coin notable Grade A Grass-Fed Freak laios touden experiencing a completely normal crush on the first pretty man to demonstrate polite interest in his passions and hobbies. i can only imagine laios is gonna be out here milking minotaurs like 'hm. if kabru was here now...i wonder if he would enjoy this too..... that would be nice (:' whilst kabru is pacing a deep furrow in the cobblestones clear on the other side of the dungeon vowing up and down that he will commit to sucking laios' dick meat clean off the bone if it might bring him one step closer to seeing his head on a pike
i know were all relieved that its a time loop and that they arent gone forever and im being completely normal about that
and by that i mean im thinking about how gerard will never get HIS elody back, because in that world he is dead. the fairies could bring her to him, effectively tearing her from the kingdom she was trying to save and dooming them both, because how could she love him after that? pinocchio's dad might live in some liminal space where in every iteration he is bound to the stepmother, but whos to say gepetto wasnt waiting for his human son to come home? what if thats how the stepmother is able to keep lying to pinocchio saying that his dad is safe, because she keeps finding new gepettos to drain, and that fatherly love goes beyond whatever story they find themselves in.
no matter what magic is offered to them, they cant go back. they died in that story. and they dont have time to worry about what will happen to the people they loved because they only have one way to save them, and its to remember.
Jace and Porter toxic yaoi. Is this anything
im very disappointed at this event for all good reasons (having a white supremacist hailed "as a hero", putting a racist character in-game, having frollo's racist beliefs being framed as 'cleansing' etc). however, i've seen a lot of mutuals dial down rollo's very blatant racism. for the love of god look at the character's source material and the way he behaves in-game. it's disgusting that you'd diminish the vile characteristics of both frollo and rollo just for the sake of your own comfort. i never had high hopes for people to behave normally about the character anyway, but to go as far as to either completely discard this character's jackassery or even looking over the horror of his source material.
once again, fuck yana, fuck displex, and a shame on you to whoever is turning a blind eye or being freaks about rollo/frollo
