*just realized she has no life*

[elementalhero]

So I was going to write a hugelong entry about Ruby's character, dissecting his relationships with his father and his Pokemon and the people around him and how he manages to be a huge woobie and also kind of a Jerk Ass and then a woobie again, but like, DARK WOOBIE-ISM in which he kind of subverts Woobie norms, and then I was going to talk about Sapphire and how awesome she is, and how cheap it was that she was completely kicked out of the final battle just so the full depth of Ruby's honestly screwed-up character could be explored, which upset me because I think Sapphire could have been just as screwed up as he was but they didn't bother after she spent the whole arc kicking ass and *pants pants pants, ran out of breath*

And then I went and read the FireRed/LeafGreen arc and completely forgot about it in favor of squealing "SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, SILVER, RED, MEWTWO, YELLOW, SILVER, DEOXYS, MOSTLY SILVER, GREEN, SILVER, BLUE, BLUE, BLUE, STILL MOSTLY SILVER, GIOVANNI, OH MY GOD SILVER OH MY GOD"--*shot*

And then I forgot about Ruby and Sapphire again. ^^;;


THE FIRST PAPER'S DONE, HAHAHA NOW I'VE ONLY GOT ONE MORE OF THE SAME SIZE TO DO, FML FML

Also, this arc featured what I like to call RED GRADUALLY LOSING MORE AND MORE CLOTHING:


Red: "GIOVANNI THINKS HE'S SO COOL WITH HIS JACKET-STRIPPING ACTION, SO I THINK I'LL SHOW HIM HOW IT'S DONE!" *whoosh~*


Enemy RED used STRIP! RANDOM has fainted!


...I have no life.

I love how in PokeSpe, when the characters angst, it's believable. It isn't this Hamlety, soliloquizing, beautifully articulated scholarly musing on THE TRAGEDY OF LIVING or some such thing. It's an ugly, lonely, scary emotion, felt by these kids, you know, we always forget these characters are tiny, and expressed the way normal people express ugly, lonely, scary emotions.

They isolate themselves. They lock it down until they hurt themselves or someone else with thoughtless words or actions. I mean, god, look at Ruby. He's practically a quivering ball of trust issues, thanks to his dick dad, and the sick thing is that his angst stems from his fear of becoming his father, but by internalizing that fear and self-hate, he starts behaving like Norman, which is what he was so afraid of in the first place. D: D: D: D: oh my god I love Ruby because his head is so sick~

So yeah, Red's angst was so perfect because of the way they handle that. I loved the scene where he was coming back from his ANGSTY BEACH WALK and, like, Green and Blue were interacting, and he was like, ~on the outside looking in~ and dksljfsklfjsl this manga makes me so goddamn happy~~~

...why was my first thought when I read that, "IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE NOT LELOUCH." Oh Lelouch, you silly little drama cupcake. ♥

AND YES YES THIS THIS THIS. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. And Blue, omg Blue is just a hurt little girl who had to grow up way too fast and wants her mommy and daddy but she makes that her resolve and sjfldkajdslkf

Haha, Lelouch raises angst to a fracking ART FORM. THE SHOWER SCEEEEEEEENE with the dramatic bending over and ~water dripping~ and BANGING THE WALL and Lelouch you are such a lolcow.

BLUUUUUUUE and she had no parents to take care of her and ~be an example~ so she, like, BECOMES SILVER'S MOMMY and and and but she still wants her parents and dsklfjdsklfjkl~~~ Oh, the Mask kids are all screwed up in an extra special way~

don't be XD
