#guy clan

…Guy Clan, you and your twin certainly like top fives. Um. I don’t mind doing them, but at this rate, I’m concerned about not having a proper answer. Maybe try a different question for next time? Anything story-related is an idea.

Anywho.

Top five most “why” moments. I just read it as top five “wtf” moments, so we’ll go with that. I’m just going with my reactions to various media things, fictional and real. 

I know this is a bit negative to start things off, but Donald Trump becoming President. Being completely honest, I just became of voting age when the 2016 elections came by, and voted for the opposition because he made me feel unsafe. He made my family feel unsafe, and yet the fact that he came to power really hurt. More so when someone in my politics class at the time loudly spoke up the next day about supporting him in spite of all the hurt he would lay on almost everything and everyone I knew, and I ended up crying to Josh on the phone that afternoon. I still don’t support him, and keep signing petitions and speaking out so he can get his ass out of the White House. 

The FCC ruling against Net Neutrality earlier this year. Just like Number 1, it was a huge slap in the face, and I’m just glad that states like my home of California and so many others are standing up against it. I want to keep writing, drawing, creating, and talking with online friends. Ajit Pai taking all that away in the name of business makes me want to slap him. Hard.

Onto the fictional side of things, the whole end game of SasuSaku in the original Naruto ending. I never really paid attention to the shipping bandwagon when it was really bad in the early 2000s, but with how it came together in spite of all the emotional abuse laid in Sakura’s direction, I kinda felt like punching Kishimoto. This whole idea of Sakura being a single mom and excusing Sasuke’s bullshit this entire time in the face of her own daughter – just, NO. If not for Kishimoto having his own family and wife, whom he couldn’t spend that much time with for a majority of the manga’s publication, I would want to do more than lay salt in his direction. 

Also from Naruto, Orochimaru living in the end and going on to abuse both Yamato and his own son, Mitsuki. ‘Nough said. For abusers to live on and do more shit, I’m going to crack my knuckles and kick some slimy ass. 

:) Guy Clan, you and your sibling, as well as other anons, are completely free to send more bloops my way. It’s a good way to keep me in story-writing mode, since I’m trying to write more of CP 53 right now.

Anyways, your fact.

…Clan Guy, last I checked, your evil twin was on a boat, lacking food. =A= What is it with you two… At this rate, I’m going to be concerned about everyone I know, online or reality.

Anyways. Top five worst protagonists? Argh, that’s…hard to place, because most of the time, I drop an anime because another aspect angered me, not the protagonist. Let me see what I can come up with…

Note for those reading, I am not actively bashing you or your opinions. If you like these characters, there’s nothing wrong with that! This list is of my own opinion and if you disagree with my choices, feel free to close this post. No one is stopping you. 

Makoto Itou from School Days. I have yet to touch the anime because I know the subject content in the show will at least anger me, and at worst, trigger me, because in there, he’s a douche towards most if not all women in his world. Cheating on a bunch of girls at the same time, expecting to be accepted with warm arms, and sleeping with them all?! Wtf. >:( The original visual novel doesn’t help in the slightest.

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière from Zero no Tsukaima. I used to not mind the anime, but when looking into the characters closely, Louise sure got away with a lot of shit that I believe she shouldn’t have, hence not liking it as much anymore. And actively physically and verbally abusing her love interest, even though she herself had a neglectful background? That kind of stuff doesn’t excuse abuse in my opinion.

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto. The Canon version of him at least. Catch Your Breath and Dreaming of Sunshine helped redeem him for me in their narratives, thank god. Up until the start of Part 2, I didn’t mind Sasuke. But when the entire plot started revolving around him and his family to the point where nothing else mattered in the plot, I just started getting sick. The fact that the narrative kept going back to his power-ups and never really explained why I should support him aside from his Clan getting massacred just felt like too much. The final straw comes with post-Ch 700 Sasuke and how the narrative excuses his obvious neglect of his own daughter AND wife for some mission. Like, no. No matter how you sell it to me, NO. The fact that he nearly attacked Sarada, asking who she was when she had just activated her Sharingan from the damn shock of seeing him for real, NO. A child should not be so traumatized/moved to unlock a power like that FROM meeting their parents. That is abuse right there, and that is messed up.

Byakuya Togami from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. He’s on the lower parts of this list mainly since later games and the Danganronpa 3 anime really improved his character for me. But for a protagonist that’s advertised in fanart to be in a trio with Makoto (the cinnamon roll) and Kyoko (best detective), his overall jerkass tendencies towards everyone in Class 78 during the first game, his messing with Chihiro’s body in Chapter 2, and the verbal abuse he wallops on characters like Asahina and Fukawa really got to me. Nonetheless, I’ll say it again in how I don’t hate him. Later character development from Chapters 4-6 of the game, as well as Absolute Despair Girls and Danganronpa 3, really helped him to where I don’t hate him. He’s certainly improved, so he’s on the low ends of ‘worst’, to just be ‘unlikeable’ in initial impressions.

I don’t know who worries me more, you, Guy Clan, or your twin. Go eat something! >^< 

Anyways, top five epic gaming moments not from a Square Enix Game? Um…

Battling Professor Kukui as the final battle for the first Alola Champion title in Pokemon Moon. Even if Leo had lightly spoiled who I was going to battle in the end, it was still amazing to hear that Champion music and understand the Gen 1 reference to the original Professor Oak battle we were supposed to get, and since my team was there with me ever since the beginning, it was wonderful. 

Also from Pokemon Moon, battling a Nihilego-fused Lusamine in Ultra Space. Even if I had my iPad near me to help me remember Pokemon weaknesses, she was tough! I felt the tension with the music and the way her team was all made Totem Pokemon, and with how I had already loved Lillie at that point, Lusamine needed to go down, and being able to be the one to do so was awesome! 

Professor Layton showing up to help Phoenix Wright in the first Witch Trial in their crossover game, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. I started by watching playthroughs of the game, and then once Leo got me my own copy, seeing the Professor come in as that badass gentleman he was, along with amazing music – that was great. 

Makoto defeating Junko in the last chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Again, like with the third entry, I started by watching playthroughs of Danganronpa after talking about Danganronpa 3 with Leo and Josh, and to see the Ultimate Lucky Student bloom into the Ultimate Hope and not falter in front of Ultimate Despair was beautiful. It’s kinda what made me love Makoto in the first place to put him on my favorite fandom characters list a while back. Not to mention possibly have him co-star in the Danganronpa 3–S&S crossover I’m writing with Tomoko. 

…Clan Guy, or Guy Clan, I don’t know. Now I’m just thinking there’s a sibling relationship here I don’t know about, or you all are lightly trolling me. (-A-) -3

Anyways, top five friendships, huh? Oooh, this is hard. Since I love a lot of friendships in all those categories, the following five aren’t even in numerical order because I treasure them all dearly.

Put under the cut for the sake of not making it long:
