Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.

I won’t upload it until I finish the first 10 chapters, then I will post everyday while writing the next 10. I don’t know how many chapters. I’m not even sure how it will end. But there might be ships??? I don’t know. We’ll see.
Alright. Fuck it. I’m writing a fic where Alice and Masquerade become separate identities after BBB and they have a sibling/mentor relationship. I want to see them bond.
I made Masquerade VERY dramatic in this fic. Like, he won’t calm down. I love him.

I cannot believe I live in a time where a canon autistic character played by an autistic actor said the words “I identify as homoromantic asexual” on a mainstream TV show and I cannot believe it I’m so excited I’m so happy I don’t know what to even do I’m so happy. I never ever ever thought I’d see this. I never thought I’d see it. I’m being seen, properly seen, for the first time in media. And I feel...like my whole body is made of the fizz when you shake up a can of fizzy drink, and my brain is full of fairy lights and I just can’t believe it I’m so freaking happy
The Beyblade anime was way more nuanced than any of us realized at the time. For a show that's supposed to be a teenage sports anime about spinning tops, it does quite a deep dive into the psyche, the personalities and mental health of its characters, which I think is rare in that genre. It does not shy away from dark, realistic themes.
We have Tyson who clearly has abandonment issues and I think that they show it pretty well. All the angst and anger he had in G Revolution was very much how a real person would react and the way he feels under pressure as a star - I think it was very well depicted.
We have Max, as the perpetual ray of sunshine and yet they obviously show how much of a face he puts up and how resilient he can be in difficult circumstances. Being underestimated repeatedly and how he comes to terms with it feels very realistic honestly. He's constantly having to prove himself to everyone - his rivals, his own friends and even his mother, who do not believe in him. It must be exhausting to be Max and I think that comes out well a lot of the time.
Kai's inability to attach himself to specific people and his lack of loyalty, as well as the depiction of how he deals with trauma (both in Season 1 vis a vis the abbey and in V Force vis a vis Wyatt) are very wonderfully shown. His emotions are both rational and real. As an adult, I think it's surprising for something so dark translate so well on screen in an otherwise innocuous and funny anime about teenagers.
Ray and the way he often feels conflicted about his loyalties and the responsibility he feels on his shoulder at every moment balanced with his ambitions give a very unique perspective to his character. I think they showed his struggles fairly well.
Hilary feeling like she doesn't fit in with the team, Kenny and his anxiety, Daichi and his excitement which overcompensates for his insecurities- there's so much layers to everyone.
And of course we have the other characters. We had Mariah and her internal turmoil in that whole Asian arc, we had the Russian boys and their whole dark past and bravery in standing up to their abuser in G Revolution, we had the spoilt Majestics getting humbled and seeing the error of their ways, we have Judy finally figuring out how to balance motherhood and her ambitions, we had Mariam stand up to her patriarchal teammates who are too blinded by tradition to see reason, we see Wyatt as the scorned fan, we see Zeo fighting just to be accepted as normal, we have Raul trying to be a worthy match for his twin sister...
And of course, Brooklyn. The dark and light angel versions of Brooklyn in his vision say everything you want to know about him.
Beyblade could have been shallow but it was not. That's what makes it unique. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

@shunkazamis are you saying that Masquerade only become more aggressive because he was feeling desperation from destroying someone he knew was part of him? Or that he just felt so much anger that he could defeat Alice but couldn’t ultimately defeat Dan and he knew he was finished?
Guys. Do you think that Masquerade cared for Alice and vice versa? Because he probably knew she existed before that final battle, right? Like, he was aware of her being alive. Or did he just fall asleep and sometimes wake up as Alice? Because didn’t he use Alice to track the brawlers?
I don’t know where I’m going with this…
Yeah. I get that. I feel like it would have been cool for Alice and Masquerade to be separated and become more familiar with each other, like siblings. I definitely feel like the anime should have focused a bit more on their relationship instead of writing them out in NV.
But it makes sense that Masquerade didn’t like Alice because she was the more friendly and lovable version of him. It’s like he knew that he wasn’t good enough to be like her so he wanted to defeat her so he could become the host. But then he realizes that his dramatic flair and evilness is equally apart of her as her goodness and likability is apart of him. I just feel like there should have been more explored with them. Including the whole: Who remembers what? What happens to Masquerade when Alice is awake? Could Alice become like Masquerade if she had never met the brawlers? Did Alice’s bakugan even like her after Masquerade died/vanished? I feel like there should have been more to explore.
(I also think it would be nice if Alice wasn’t forgiven so easily and if she still had to overcome some mistrust. Even though she wasn’t aware of anything. And it would be nice if she tried to bond with all of her/their/his bakugan more. Especially Hydranoid)
(Like imagine your master disappears one day, and this random girl who was him is suddenly who you have to listen to. I’d be fed up.)

Are like the older duck family members of Huey Dewey and Louie ((and possibly Webby)) the grown up AU versions of the McDuck clan if they didn’t have parental guidance?
Cause like Feathery, Gladstone, Della and Donald have the same color pallets for the most part and like the character flaws of the boys is magnified by the adults:
Feathery: is if Huey never took a break from nerding out and didn’t have his brothers to keep him sane
Gladstone: is Louie if he didn’t have anyone to rein him in with his ego and get rich quick schemes
Della: is Webby if she didn’t have listen to Dewey telling her that maybe bringing ancient weapons to birthday parties is a bad move
Donald: is Dewey if Webby got lost in space, had adventures with Scrooge and realizing that he can’t afford to loose anymore family, because he feels to hard and masks it with quips and ego
Astroboyd got me feeling some kinda way

So I know everyone is losing their minds about the lore drops & Amtity & Luz stuff from this EP, but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Gus cuz this was a big ep for him and no one is talking about it much (that I’ve seen)
So like, here’s my breakdown & thoughts
We got to hear more about how Gus feels about being in a higher grade and his magic (which knowing someone that was moved up grades when they were young, it did seem realistic)
We learned more about Glandus High and what it’s like being a student there
We learned a fair bit about illusionists and how they’re viewed, it’s pretty interesting that they are seen as weak, even though we’ve seen just how strong they can be, esp for tricks & spy work (like turning invisible), along with sending messages long ways (I sorta wonder if Belos may have made them seen as weak so it’d be less likely for people to try to spy on him)
Gus had made a friendenemy outside the main cast! (Since they started joking with each other and are gonna hang out on weekends I think we’re gonna see more of Mattholomule & Gus’s relationship)
Gus is gonna be learning more about old illusionist magic and had befriend a old (+maybe powerful) illusionist, I think he might start learning better spells or ones that aren’t learnt at school
These ruins Gus & Mattholomule seem to be important, since they have things that can make people more powerful and were used in marketing, I think they might come into play as a big part of the story.
As a whole this EP seemed to have Gus’s story as the A plot with Luz’s story as the B plot, which was bold & I enjoyed, though it makes me sad that poeple aren’t talking as much about Gus’s side of things, he’s a very cool character and seems to have things that could tie him to the bigger plot (these ruins, the fact that he has interest in the human world aka might know more about Philip Wittebane, has magic that doesn’t need to overpower someone to deal with them (for real, a illusionist spell done at the right moment, in the right context could easily take down Belos, he thinks he’s got the door when really it’s a man-eating plant or something like that)
This whole episode just REALLY dug (like it was making a grave) into Gus’ concerning motifs and repeated associations with Death, what with him showing a lot of respectful and kind reverence to the graves of the deceased, protecting and maintaining their memories, and being able to conjure up QUITE the nightmare for Bria!
Obviously this could be concerning, but with how Gus constantly makes references to dying in the context of trying to accomplish something, and again his respect towards the dead and their sacred graves… Did this kid have someone important to him who died? And that’s why Death is on his mind so much- Because this loss really messed with him, and it’s something Gus has been struggling with for a long time? Trying to cope and make sense of it, especially at such a young age…
Maybe trying to sort of accept and embrace it, in an almost attempted martyrdom sense? Perhaps Gus’ mother died, maybe trying to accomplish something- Again, explaining why Gus makes such a big deal about how he’ll get something done, even if someone has to die! It’s his way of venerating her sacrifice, trying to find some inspiration and meaning from the messed-up event, something to guide himself with and make sense of it all…
Did Mrs. Porter die doing research as a reporter? And that’s why Gus takes the interview in Understanding Willow so seriously… It’s not just because he admires his father Perry, so naturally he treats reporting with a special reverence; But the fact that it was something his mother died over… It only feels right and proper to pay his respects by continuing in her footsteps, carrying out that same intensity in order to honor and pay Mrs. Porter tribute!
I dunno man, I’m just getting Gus Porter feels. I dunno about you, but the constant allusions and references to Death seem suspiciously frequent and exclusive to him… And this entire episode being about Gus respecting the dead and acting on their behalf, even pretending to be vengeful ghosts from the grave- It sure makes you think, huh?
They basically confessed their love for each other here
