#character debate

But, I don't think people realize that it could go either way.

Shen Yuan was so... interested in his favorite character that he supported them no matter what they did. It didn't matter to him if the character killed innocent people when he read the story.

Serious question.

In case it's not confirmed, I wanna read anyone's takes about it.

Personally I see Viktor as someone older than Jayce. I've know people I thought they were in their 20s and they were 15, so, Jayce could appear older than Vik. Second is that Jayce being younger than Viktor and already achieving or having enough support than Viktor in his whole lifetime would add to the angst and sense of going nowhere for Viktor. The whole "How come this person is younger than me and they already have it all I couldn't even dream of?" Sense (like seeing 12-13 artists with tremendous art styles and following while you've been drawing all your life and barely got somewhere). Still, 1-2 years older than Jayce, not a huge age gap but still enough to make them not be the same age.

Same age would be what I'm currently experiencing with some friends. Seeing someone the same age as you achieving all, having it all, and then there's you. I think this is the less likely one unless Viktor and Jayce studied different careers, explaining why they never met or saw each other before.

Younger Viktor would be the Looking up to someone who's already achieved something, and he's running out of time to get to be something or someone before that age arrives. Like Tick Tick Boom with Jonathan was rushing to do something before he was 30. Also being younger than Jayce with his disease means he might never even get a chance to achieve that.

All of my thoughts are aiming for the internal struggle Viktor might have, all of them comparing to what Jayce has done at his 24- S1 Age and Viktor's in those episodes. All the ages have a way of comparing, either the "I've lost time", "I'm losing time" and "I'm running out of time", for someone like him.

So I was thinking about possible things about Bloodmoon we could talk about, since like, we agreed to analyze Bloodmoon yeah? And I remembered a thing I think I might be completely alone on thinking!

Do you consider Bloodmoon I (red and pentagram design) to be the same person as Bloodmoon II (blue and spiral design)?

considering they used the first design for the (now dead) Other brother, HarvestMoon as I called them, No.

Since Wednesday’s episode, I’ve received quite a few asks about LL’s character development over the course of Season 3.  I’ve not written much about LL simply because I have not been interested in what I’ve seen thus far.  Personally, I believe there has been little improvement in this character’s development.  Which for me, who was actually looking forward to the EPs promise that her character would be improved as she becomes BC, is disappointing.   I thought she was good in the courtroom scene in “Left Behind” and the last scene she had with Ted in “Guilty.”  Otherwise, I haven’t seen the turnaround the EPs promised.  For me, this is important, because for her to take up the mantle of BC, it was my belief that the character needed to improve FIRST, not the other way around.

I find myself so apathetic that I can’t really dig up any real passion to talk or answer asks about the character.  This same apathy has also clouded my judgment.  So I wanted to open this up for debate:  Have you seen improvement in the LL character and why?

Before you respond, please keep in mind the following:

1. Do not tag these posts with any LL tags. I have no desire to entertain the LL fan base. I find them tiresome. I'm tagging this character debate so I can track.

2. Remember these are opinions; no one is right or wrong. If you can’t keep your mind open to the opinions of others, then don’t participate.

3. No personal attacks on the bloggers participating.   Let’s be grown-ups please.

4. Don't post a comment, reblog so we can all see your comments. Your viewpoints matter!

5. The point is not to change peoples minds, the point is to offer other perspectives and viewpoints to open minds to other possibilities. That could mean someone may go from "Yes, she's improved" to "Huh, maybe not so much." My point is, don't be militant that your opinion is the only opinion that matters.

So the question: Has LL improved this season and why? If not, why?  Or are you somewhere in between? 

Sorry to say, Anon, but no one has to make a "proper/full" review for you regarding Wasurenagusa's Okita... If you're intent on a very long winded discussion regarding his character in particular, I would likely suggest looking into a proper Forum for that kind of debate. I do not have any power to make someone write something if they don't want to. I put out the word that you were interested in reading other people's opinions, but saying that the people who put in their two-cents wasn't "proper" or "full" is a little disheartening. People have work, school, and other things they care about that may have made it difficult at this time to write the review you're looking for.

Perhaps you could put out some topics, questions, or personal points that you noticed regarding the character yourself and you can help start your own discussion among fans. Tags help as well, if you want to search Tumblr for some kind of responses already. There are tons of Okita fans out there, but not all of them follow me or even know there is someone out there looking to discus Okita in detail. I did what I could to help you with your request but this is all I can do.
