*sigh* something something the two-dimensionality of saeru's characterisation is a writing flaw, not a feature, and trying to pass it off as a feature whilst berating anyone who sees it as a flaw is uh. A Choice

txt ☆ˎˊ˗ i promise like we all know jin's writing isn't exactly stellar kgpr got popular because of the characterisation of the Protagonists but jin writes saeru poorly. I've never believed otherwise he only really tried to do something interesting with the character in the manga... but saeru was always more of a symbol. which is Boring but again not the Main Point of kgpr so it's not a big deal but that isn't to say that making saeru interesting weakens the narrative??? just that the story functions without him being overly complex and stuff some of themes however are so Fucked by his character it's so sad could write a whole essay about how shit the whole idea of monsterhood becomes when saeru is presented the way he is outside of the manga that entire spiel seto has about “real monsters” in novel 8 is so eugh I'd love to pretend that's just his perspective but it's so clearly word of god I also feel like shutting down arguments in favour of deeper characterisation with “well he's a metaphor for trauma” inadvertently oversimplifies trauma I have more to say but I'm tiredddd not tagging and shit because I don't want people in my notes arguing with a wall idc if you like your saeru simple I just hate the fact that people frame it as right/wrong thing I think when people complain about complex saeru weakening the narrative they're more so annoyed that some fans want to give him the same sort of complexity the protags have like I promise you I'm not trying to turn him into a hero here lol I just think jin couldn't write him very well and there are things to explore with the little things jin Did write idk why the concept of even thinking about those things annoys some people sm “he's a murderer” he's a narrative tool within a story. some guys in a corner brainrotting over him won't make Your blorbos less interestin or make his actions widely justified/glorified

I’m so glad to see her speak up about this, as it is awful this is what so many swifties have been speculating on too. Hopefully they’ll listen this time.

An aunt of mine had the nerve to ask my mother if she’s “excited to have grand babies running around” while we were at my grandma’s memorial of all places, so I’ve felt very connected to this issue this year. It’s not like she knows this part, but I don’t even have a partner. Also this was after I came out as aroace, so.

Thank You For Saying This Yet Again Taylor!

You are so correct. I've been wanting to make something similar for a while, but couldn't figure out elements and weapons. So if you don't mind me doing so, I might make some designs for these 👀

How many generations removed do you think the centipede fire master was from Kai? Where the fire master line (???) originally from this dying/dead world and eventually escaped or did he enter the world for a reason many questions I doubt will be answered but delight me anyway.

Oooooooh now this is a QUESTION

Im thinking like 1-2 generations before Ray, maybe some years after the fsm made ninjago and the other realms? Also, very much vining with the whole "Masters of fire originally came from the realm of monsters" theory, cause it makes sense.

Like, imagine the og master of fire chucking his only remaining kid to ninjago before he was eaten by the centipede monster, then the element of fire being past on to them after, then they get a partner and have Ray? I think it's a pretty solid theory. Also gives another reason why Kai struggled with unlocking his element and true potential.

Ah, but alas, it shall only be answered when June 12 arrives. Until then, we wait impatiently patiently

Thanks anon for this ask!!! I liked it a lot and I'm so sorry for the late answer!!
