how about don’t lable a character as abusive if you’ve only seen them in their worst state, you don’t know that character at their best, all you know is when they were alone and afraid.
i.e trophy, and season 1 balloon.
that being said, don’t make characters who are actually abusive seem afraid.
and then we have characters who have been told they were “bad” or “evil” their whole life, as if their very concept is a stereotype that they are destined to fill. these characters may act bad because they think they have to, or become so broken inside they truly believe they are, or even go so far as to poison themselves so much with this false belief that they actually become the monster everyone says they are.
whats important about the dynamics of this character is, well.. lets take a look at yang from ii.
what do you think that little dot in both of them means?
it means there is a little bit of each other inside the other. yang has good, yin has bad, and at the characters core, both have been broken.
yang has been led to believe his brother is better, is my take on it. and it’s made him bitter, his rage has consumed him. he is mostly dark. but yin is mostly light, and yet with ignorance of hatred comes the growth of it.
however if yang were to embrace the good deep within his soul, perhaps yin would embrace the seed of darkness planted within him. we’ve seen already he “can’t help it!” sometimes (i.e, when he ate dough).
TLDR
yang has been led to believe that he will always be bad, and so he embraces it, but if the speck of purity left within him were to be embraced, maybe he could learn that you are not what people tell you you are.
fucking hate how so many websites are starting to delete entire accounts or wipe content uploaded by users without accounts and just get rid decades worth of stuff. google is deleting accounts inactive after two years - what happens to the youtube videos made years ago? do we just lose them forever? what about google drive folders that compile and share countless resources? imgur is deleting all nsfw content and images uploaded from users without accounts - so many posts all over the internet are going to break because their images were wiped from the image host. twitter is deleting accounts that dont log in within 30 days. what about personal accounts from people who passed away? what about people who just dont use it that often?
