it just occurred to me, martin wilby is the alex rider tv show's ash. there's a line in season 1 where the department is talking about wilby being responsible for ian's death and how ian “thought the world of him.”
very similar to how ash was responsible for john (and helen's) death, but john very clearly loved the guy. enough to make him alex's godfather and save his life. another very interesting parallel for the rider brothers.
ash and wilby are different to each other however. at least ash had somewhat more of a reason to join scorpia? a vendetta against alan blunt. wilby just straight up wanted money. yassen gregorovich stabbed both of them though.

I see Simon as someone who seeks academic validation. I mean, he dealt drugs to pay for math tutoring. While I do love the bigger focus on his choir singing in s2, I'm also curious on how he's doing academically.
The class scenes served more as romance build-up, what with them touching hands on the pencil case and the book parallel scene. The most character insight was about how Wille's anxiety can skyrocket until he throws up.
So, is Simon taking it less seriously now because of everything that happened in s1? Does he think that 'moving on' from Bjärstad is still possible, with the video and all?

I have said this before but me being self proclaimed number 1 Ryoma fan and that being possibly literal-bc even if this bro had fans before me I might’ve simply done the most for him by talking about him so much + being the first to write fics that are in depth studies on his trauma across canons-I gotta say if there’s one other character I rotate a lot that isn’t him it’s probably Kei. (Shocking it’s not Hayato even if I do think about him too- but it’s usually associated with Ryoma bc gays 🗿)
I’m not even exaggerating when I say Kei would be my favorite and only isn’t because she doesn’t exist in many other canons yet my brain rotates the endless possibilities of how to incorporate her. I’ve already written a fic where she’s in shin vs neo verse which worked surprisingly well but I’ve been thinking how universally she could appear in other things. (Whether it be fitting her into a idea of a possible Go team in New or just a new canon completely) I think what I’ve narrow it down to is that she could be like- in Michirus role? Like she’s the supporting female who isn’t a pilot but helps out the real occasionally which I think would align very well especially with the original manga role she has of being Hayato’s assistant. And even if Hayato isn’t grandpa mode yet he still very much is in Saotomes position at that point. Not sure if she’d Hayato’s biological kid to further parallel Saotome and Michiru given well Hayato already adopts the Go team and his wife is irrelevant LOL.
I have no idea if I’ll ever write this specific idea but I’m still- rotating it cause this is such a easy way to get around “picking between Sho or Kei as the 2nd pilot” since both of them can still exist even if one doesn’t get to pilot, idm my supporting females. (Granted there could always be like- plot line where Sho gets hurt so Kei is temporary pilot but I can’t remember if Getter ever really did this since “once your hurt your ass is basically replaced” lol)

1, 8, 9, 23, 24 (CV obv) :>
Oh you. <3
the character everyone gets wrong
Mathias. He's not an "idiot who revealed his plan to his friend and expected him to join him" and he's not just a genius. He's a smart, broken MESS with terrible emotional management and the worst coping mechanisms known to mankind, and it becomes even more interesting when you couple that with the fact he is a genius who had the means and power to re-create the Crimson Stone, wich is like, the worst thing someone so bad at emotions and feelings can possess. <3 We saw how it turned out. <3
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
Leon being a bottom/sub. THIS MAN DID NOT DESTROYED THE STRONGEST VAMPIRE OF HIS ERA + DEATH ONLY FOR PEOPLE TO SEE HIM AS AN INNOCENT UKE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE HIS BELMONT SWORD I'M SORRY. He can top and dominate too. Come on. > :<
Even personnality-wise. Sometimes I feel like "soft boy" is all people remember him for, when he's also a monsters' ass kicker who is not afraid to assert himself. He has a heart of gold, but take absolutely no shit. <3
9. worst part of canon
Isaac using a light saber in his final battle I'm not sure... but the whole "Julia is identical to Rosaly" thing sure is bothering me. :') Oh, and Elisabetha literally having nothing but a few mentions and a png >:< Even Lisa got more respect. >:<
23. ship you've unwillingly come around to
Idk :<
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
Ignoring Netflixvania exist for a moment... DRACULA SWITCH IDGAF

DBZ Thoughts: Gohan saving Videl from Spopovich is not as romantic as it seems
So I made this post a while back comparing the Videl v Spopovich fight with the Vegeta v Frieza fight. In the blog, I indicated along the lines that Videl's fight marked the end of her status as a fighter. After this fight, Videl was reduced to a love interest and any development her character could have had as a next-gen human fighter was dropped.
I would argue that Gohan's attempted intervention in the Videl v Spopovich fight put the nail in the coffin for respecting Videl as a fighter.
Why do I say this? Let's establish the facts:
Videl up till this point is a very capable and proud fighter, IMO more than her dad Mr Satan. She uses her skills to help people and she shows curiosity for new techniques as demonstrated by her desire to learn to fly. Sure, Gohan has saved her as the Great Saiyaman but she has so much courage to risk her life every day.
Videl is such a proud fighter that she CHOSE to remain in the fight. Remember this is a tournament fight with rules and exits. With two words, Videl can walk away from this fight without any consequences besides maybe a bruised ego. However, even when her head is being squashed, she refuses to concede. I think it's Vegeta's level of stupidity, but I respect her for it.
So what is the impact of Gohan trying to save Videl?
If Gohan interrupted the fight before Yamu, he would have been disqualified from the tournament. Videl wanted Gohan to be in the tournament so I don't think Pre-fight Videl would have appreciated Gohan being disqualified.
Gohan is basically disrespecting Videl as a fighter. By intervening, Gohan is unintentionally demonstrating his need to save Videl from her own decisions. Videl is too dumb to save herself due to her pride so Gohan has to step in as her knight in shining armor. Remember, Videl does not need saving! This is not a life-or-death battle like with the Frieza forces, just a very violent tournament match. That Videl can walk away from HERSELF.
The audience is being told that Videl can no longer depend on her own skills and needs to rely on the big (Saiyan) boys to protect her. Videl does not get a chance to swear vengeance against Spopovich or to use that moment to motivate herself to become better. Instead, what we have is Gohan stepping in and swearing vengeance on Videl's behalf and Videl asking Gohan to get back at Spopovich for her. Nothing is wrong with a male loved one protecting you and I find it sweet of Gohan. But this just further robs Videl of whatever agency she had left as a promising female fighter.
Gohan is unfortunately the worst thing to happen to Videl's character as a fighter.
