Me, brow knit in confusion: but doesn’t Reno say “yo” in English? A voice yelling from the other side of my brain: NO BUT AXEL DID
look, Demyx Time was integral to a lot (including me realizing my sexuality, which is such a long and personal story, so/but trust me on this), but maaaaaaaaaaaan, it’s warped fanon perceptions of Demyx.
I know there was that whole post about it that I responded to, but it goes past that. like, everyone goes “DT is A Relic of Old Fandom and we don’t do that here,” but with a mix of “well he’s not Like That in canon” going in either direction (either he’s darker than interpretations make him out to be, or further on the lighter side), it’s now super confusing to tell what to extrapolate from canon
Also going off the post I had a looooong response to about why people say Demyx is a cinnamon roll, because I’m still thinking about it
like… people don’t, for the most part. I personally (on my main) have used the tag “he’s awful and I love him”/ “you’re terrible and I love you” for him a couple times.
you can definitely love someone and recognize their flaws, you know?
and some of it is also just that he’s in each game he’s been in for like 5 minutes; Axel fans get a LOT of Axel/Lea content, and there’s just… so little for Demyx (and fanworks help, but it feels like there’s even less content available to you if you’re not really into the ships he’s involved in)
so like “precious” is perhaps used entirely differently than it would be in “aww how precious” XD
my favorite thing is that the Demyx tag right now is half “where is my sweet baby boy” and half “well he sucks anyway, so who cares”
blahblah I shouldn’t even be on TVTropes, but on the “Kick The Dog” page:
All the Organization XIII does this. Everyone from the wimpy pussy Demyx to the complete bastard Xemnas. Xaldin’s whole role was to kicking the Beast into despair, Xigbar attempted to snipe Sora’s head off for no reason, Vexen had experimented on Living People, Luxord attack the Port Royal with the help of The Heartless and the remnents of Barbossa’s crew, Zexion’s into Mind Rape, Axel betrays many of his comrades with no remorse, Marluxia was so evil that Sora himself showed rage for his cruelty and no remorse when he wasted his pink ass, and Saix, for which this trope is his entire role in Days. How did these people gain their leather pants!?
K so 1. “wimpy pussy”. jesus christ, we’re still doing this? and 2. when??? I’m not saying he’s sinless and pure, but like… the editors didn’t even specify what exactly he did? (oh, I see, they’ve hyperlinked his name to ‘dirty coward’. okay. ooooooooookay.)
*sobbing dramatically*
B-b-but Demyx won’t even look good with gold eyes!
*blows nose and keeps crying*
so if everyone’s getting like 2-5% hotter in KH3, what, exactly, am I gonna do if Demyx is in it?
So I’m watching that Dissidia Behind the English Voice Cast video and I just love that the voice actors love their characters, like that makes me really happy
Why I *want* to think Demyx’s name is in the Undertale credits: it’s in reference to his pacifistic nature and a commentary on how choosing not to fight can help keep darkness and destruction at bay
Why Demyx’s name is in the Undertale credits, probably: someone on kickstarter thought it’d be funny and put “Demyx” as their backer name
