unpopular opinion for seto motherfucking kaiba? mayhaps? blease?
ok so. i wrote. like four fucking paragraphs answering this, talking about how i feel about kaiba, and then. when i went. to fucking add tags. tumblr fucked up and deleted my whole post <333 super cool website very fun to use <33333
anyway im not rewriting all of that so here's the tl;dr: i like kaiba, he's iconic for a reason, but my 🔥🔥🔥est kaiba take is just that honestly i dont think he's nearly as deep a character as people want him to be, and that's not a bad thing. He fulfills the role he has in DM's narrative fantastically well, and he has his veins of things that could be interesting to discuss, but after 25 years it feels like it's just nonstop hitting bedrock when it comes to kaiba 'analysis.' I feel like i see the same 3-4 kaiba meta posts every other week (and i do sometimes wish that level of love and dedication to character analysis got extended to. any other yugioh character. i feel similarly about atem too tbh dfghd)
like with kaiba, it feels like a massive chunk of his implied depth is things fans have willed into existence through the sheer power of I Want it To Be That Deep. and i dont even think there's anything wrong with that, it just doesn't interest me very much. i like my kaiba discussion where the elephant of "this character is in many ways defined by stagnant growth and if this is left unchecked it's going to get really fucking bad" is Very in the room. kaiba is at his best to me when he's doing digital duel links necromancy, when his interpersonal relationships beyond mokuba are under the microscope and revealed to be, uh, hanging by a thread or two!
also, just, with not being terribly interested in it all, at this point now five yugiohs in and fully out in the spinoff reeds, i gotta say, every other yugioh rival is a more engaging character to me on a narrative and symbolic level than i have ever personally found kaiba. i honestly think a lot of them are also, by their series' end, far kinder people than seto kaiba is. 🤷♀️ maybe in another world another life kaiba could have dueled a robotic embodiment of all his negative traits and been humbled to some degree by that. what a world to think of

was talking to my partner earlier about this but i made a good point (not to brag) so im putting it here . anyways :
the whole idea that someone is selfish if they expect their art to get attention is fucking baffling. how did we go from "reblog other people's art, it gives them motivation to keep drawing and make more art for people to enjoy!" to "if you ask for people to reblog your art, it's guilt tripping and emotional manipulation." how did we go from regularly interacting with every artist in a community, in a fandom, to the big artists reblogging posts from smaller artists and encouraging their followers to follow them, to... no one doing that anymore. to people saying it's selfish to want attention and reblogs on art that you hand crafted and spend hours to days to weeks to even months making. to saying that people who want their creations to be seen by people are "attention seeking", and shouldn't "expect anything from anyone".
and then when those artists stop creating due to a lack of motivation to continue, only then do people come out and say "oh i love your art!!!!!! dont leave!!!!!! i love seeing your art!!!!!!!". that is truly baffling to me
