#it's that I'm tired of the attitude the show has towards a HumaGear wanting to put HumaGear first

Wow, though…
… I was having trouble w/ the scrolling so I couldn’t get a good look at the scene before, but… Horobi does visibly turn his head to look down at Jin as he says ‘a dream of my own’… Like, what I thought at first was that it was just one of his ‘downcast eyes’ looks he does when he’s ‘uncertain’ or ‘emotional,’ like, where he just looks down w/ his eyes, but no, he fully moved his head from looking straight ahead to looking down…
I really, really hope that it is them leaning into the family angle in his ultimate, core/personal goal being to make a world for his son, and through a sequence of events largely beyond his control (and if by some miracle my theory did prove correct, even predating the Ark) he’s come to believe the only way to do that is if humans are gone. That’s the only way Jin and other HumaGear can ever truly be safe, that the danger and malice of humans is too great to risk just bc two might be okay.
If they’re gonna do all the other stuff to me, they can at least do that.
#Firebird Personal#Spoilers#I'm not tagging the show#bc I know my outbursts are gonna get flack#'why are you so upset about Horobi he's a ~villain~ you should sad for Izu!'#look#I don't think we should be maybe killing Izu at all#I don't think it's necessary at this point#we know how high the stakes are already bc we already knew the Ark wasn't gone#we've got the situation w/ Horobi#we've got Azu back at it#we don't need to be blowing up Izu for the stakes to feel high and dramatic#and while I've never been that fond of Izu#mostly bc of writing choices not things the character did#in fact I could have been fond of her Noa made her very endearing#but there were choices made that made me just… have issues w/ how she was characterised#when I say it's hard to care…#I don't mean I'm happy she's 'dying' or that I think she should#it's more that I'm tired of repeated attempts to paint Horobi as 'evil mean bad guy' while also reminding us constantly he's brainwashed#it's that I'm tired of the attitude the show has towards a HumaGear wanting to put HumaGear first#that they have to show us how 'wrong and evil' that character is by having him 'kill' the 'cute little angel'#this just feels the same as Izu getting stabbed by Jin#needless ~drama~ to try and forcibly make one side seem 'bad'#just contrived ~drama~ to make Aruto seem ~righteously furious~#and it's bull and I'm tired#THAT'S why it's hard to care#THAT'S why I'm more worried about Horobi#also he's INCREDIBLY important to me so kindly fuck off not in the mood tonight
