Scene 0 hate under the cut bc I just need to vent but I don't want to upset anyone who likes it lol
I would probably like Mabayu as a character if she actually had her own story, but just saying "no she was definitely there during the entire original show, just ignore how it completely throws the themes and plot and everything else that makes that show as good as it is to the side, she's the most special girl ever made and everyone loves her the most and blah blah blah" makes me unable to see it as anything other than a bad fanfiction. I finally forced myself to finish reading it tonight and I was just cringing the entire time. It feels like a pointless and overcooked addition to an already complete and cohesive story and I hate it so bad 😭😭😭 (and also Mabayu's design and personality is so different and clearly created in the 2020s that it is hilarious to pretend that she was ever meant to be a part of the original story)
