matt..
Mind boggling to me that most people don't actually recognize the true weight of what Inpax did to Matt and Juan.....
With Matt specifically you've got the age thing and the fact that he was certainly a child when he and Inpax, a whole adult woman, got together but it's not like Juan being 19 was much better. Technically he's legal when they're together. but he's a child star. and she must have known him before he was 18.
And then you get into the power dynamics of it all. Dating your manager??? "Dating"???? Being groomed to think you love the person that has a major hand in your public reputation, your appearances, your career trajectory...... Inpax didn't want boyfriends, she wanted boys—BOYS. NOT MEN.—that she could sculpt into something that benefited her. The manager of a star, that's what she wanted.
I just. I really don't think people talk about her enough. This woman was not the victim in her situation!!!!!! "Oh Matt was a bad boyfriend" . the child. the child who has spent his youth on screen. was immature and not the best romantic partner for a woman that's bound to be mid-twenties at least ? that is so shocking . i can not believe the kid is acting like how a kid would act . -_-
Anyway . Matt and Juan deserved better.
no one knows matt engarde more than i do. he is me. i am him. we are the same. i am aware that is not a good thing.
artist is @friedpotat on twitter!
When the only crimes you committed to end your career before it even started were you being a team player who genuinely loved your teammates and being a good guy and ran after a flight risk ,who dove headfirst into what normal people would assumed was a trap straight out of a horror movie, to make sure he was okay.
"ness needs to just forget kaiser and move on for his character to develop" if kaiser and he had a normal partnership I would agree with you but they didn't. The only way ness can develop as a character now is if he beats the ever living shit out of kaiser both physically and psychologically
I'm playing justice for all rn and this is how it feels waiting for him
With how much Farwell, My Turnabout is centered around suicide, the fact that Matt canonically self harmed ( re; scratching his face up during his breakdown) and how it's implied his initial scar may have been self-inflicted is rarely brought up in discussion drives me bonkers. It seems like such an important facet of his character and is so thematically relevant, like I know how generally hated Matt is but him being the culprit doesn't negate any of this, in fact in my opinion it only strengthens it.
and what if i rewrite blue lock with kira as a protag just because i like him and i miss him . what happens then? what if he gets to be a lovely protagonist of his story solely because i think he is neat??? he and isagi get a sort of rival best friends relationship throughout first selection, second selection gives him the reo team-up for a moment, exploring how he feels about abandoning the high school team we've seen him care so deeply for to play in the u-20 match. to win over the u-20 team. to already have a big fanbase going into the nel??? im undecided on exactly which team he'd play for but i saw really pretty ubers kira art a little bit ago.
In my NaruMitsu feels so I felt like posting a snippet/sneak peek as to what my next nrmts fic on AO3 is gonna be :D hopefully this'll be done during June?? anyway the preview is in the read more section ! i hope anyone who wants to check it out will enjoy
“I don’t think the artist did it.” Phoenix comments, giving validity to Miles’ judgement of mostly quiet.
“That’s lovely, Phoenix.” Miles mutters through gritted teeth, squinting at the bright screen. “However, you’re not on this case, and this process will be much easier for me if she did.”
“What happened to starting to fight for the truth, huh?” Phoenix prods, half provocation and half genuine curiosity.
Miles peers over the screen at Phoenix, the harsh light from the computer emphasizing the shadows underneath his eyes and cheekbones. “The only existing evidence implicates the artist, and I’m responsible for finding the final nail in her coffin. Your gut instinct doesn’t insinuate absolute truth.”
“Has it ever been wrong?” Phoenix’s brows raise, and Miles’ eye twitches at just how genuine he is. There’s no hint of a challenge in Phoenix’s words, there’s no icy stare or self-righteous smirk. He’s just warm and open and honest and kind, and Miles isn’t sure how to react. He settles for dropping his head in his hands with a groan, thick bangs falling over his fingers.
