#cheren :handshakes: kris. backstabbing villains (they still would loathe each other though)

piper is such an inherently fun character to think about for me.

especially during bw and his villain arc. ESPECIALLY when he's at he's peak villainy.

like YEAH he gets manipulated by team plasma into making him think people are out to ruin him and is believing in a false ideal... but he's still kind of a villain. moreso than n and hilda. like at least those two don't pretend to be people's friend nor does he try to harm them and ruin an entire wealth of childhood memories for said false ideal. he goes out of his way to throw hilbert to the wolves.

he is a victim... but just because he's a victim doesn't mean what he's done is ok.

like he is VERY self motivated in the end. he's hurting hilbert and bianca for the sake of HIS future, HIS feeling of fulfillment, HIS feeling of being alive. and like going as deep in this path as team plasma has lead him on it makes him feel so alive unlike he's ever felt before that he has. an evil villain laugh about it. when his true nature is revealed and he has his villain monologue (before the monologue about how much he hates hilbert)

He's BURNING alive compared to his ever desolate feeling of cold, empty, dead-ness.

and the fact that hilbert still loves him after everything he's done infuriates him!!! like it fills him with so much turmoil and rage it makes him see red and they INSTANTLY start a pokemon battle. i think his face would be one of those shots where the camera is just ultra focused on an anime characters eyes.

and he may try to write his wrongs but AGAIN. the damage he causes has been done. and at some point, he was willing to get even worse had it not been for the cruel wake up call given by Bianca, and of course, what happened to Hilbert.

he's just a fun guy to think of. especially when i think of what he'd be like as a villain and his true alliances gets revealed to bianca and hilbert.

#and this is how i excuse putting wolf in sheep's clothing in his playlist #Deceit so natural. But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning. #<- him #the entire chorus too. btw. #tell me how you're sleeping easy how you're only thinking of yourself. #Show me how you justify telling all your lies like second nature #karma's gonna come collect your debt. #<- yeah. him. #he's like a weird fusion of an ace attorney prosecutor and yugioh villain to me #if hilbert and cheren are phoenix and edgeworth [and also tgaa2 spoilers] coded #i need to figure out. which ygo protag rival duo they also fit best. #he's so fun to think about. boys when they're kind of evil. #(pushes him into a locker) #btw wolf in sheeps clothing is ALSO in the kris kawamoto playlist. cuz its the quintessential super evil backstabbing song. #cheren :handshakes: kris. backstabbing villains (they still would loathe each other though) #pokemashe #cheren piper
