Me, consuming literally any form of media: you are all asexual now I've decided. If you do anything sensual in the media I shall cover my ears, close my eyes, and repeat "lalalalalala" while repeatedly and viciously tapping the screen until it goes away.

Gonna say smth controversial about Tokyo Debunker rq

(not really controversial. More of just everyone ever disagrees with me)

I fucking love Leo Kurosagi. He is the bitchiest, most selfish, egotistical piece of shit in the entire character roster and I love it.

LOOK AT HIM.

HE HAS A CONSTANT FUCKING -w- FACE

"washed-out child actor"

"himbo"

"clingy James Bond"

Hilarious.

And he's so obviously self-serving in everything he does too. When Jin holds her hand it's for his Stigma, when Towa clings to her it's just cuz he's like that, but when Leo does it? No fucking reason whatsoever. Obv to power up his stigma, but i'm talking about how he fucking clings to her arm.

There is no confirmation that being closer makes it more powerful, he's probably just doing this to fuck with her, and I find it. Hilarious.

All bark no bite. He doesn't fight, he doesn't threaten fighting, he insults and blackmails and

Everything he does, he does for fun.

But Alan is right! He can, and does, take things seriously! Often, too! He takes the initiative to use MC's ring to find the ghost, he comes up with the plan in the first place in both this chapter and the Takeru one, he's clearly distressed about Alan's life sentence, he looks up the records on his own, he's like 2nd place in exams, he was unwaveringly confident he could get Alan out, and on top of that he gave Alan several chances to get MC and Sho out of the room before discussing Dante.

He's mean, and bitchy, but he's not mean and bitchy for completely no reason. He insults and admonishes Subaru about Bonnie, but he shuts up (albeit reluctantly) when he learns the problem is resolved, he tries to get MC killed, (which is obviously not a good thing like wtf man) but he does it to get her 'out of the way' (not a good reason still but yk) he stops Alan from giving her the case file, but he only does it to make a copy bc Alan was going to hand off the only one.

My point isn't "he's a reasonable person" my point is "he doesn't do things purely to hurt other people." Is that a reason? Absolutely, fucking look at him. I'm not being an apologist, he fucking sucks and he's an outright terrible person, I'm just saying that he is by far the funniest and most realistic genre of "petty egoist asshole college boy" out there, and imo it makes him one of the most compelling characters in the game to me.

Leo is not a good person. Not at all, actually. But despite his OBVIOUS, APPARENT, AND SIGNIFICANT flaws, he is still, technically, a human. (Probably. Ghouls are confusing.)

And he does care. Quite a bit, actually. Just not even nearly as much about MC as he does Sho and Alan. And even while caring about Sho and Alan, he openly insults them both, inconveniences them often, and is generally very hard to get along with, but the game makes it very clear through his actions that he is not heartless, and is very willing to help when push comes to shove.

Maybe heart... Impaired, but not heartless.

(this whole thing was written at 3am by someone with school in the morning, so it's all just rambles and pointing out the obvious and wtv, but yeah. Idk man I see myself in him and wanted to say some shit so here it is. Some shit I said.)

EP 11 spoilers part 7 Tokyo Debunker

Leo: so Subaru is looking after Bonnie, hm?

Subaru: something just happened

Leo is way too unbothered jeez

See now I know logically that it was the anomaly that killed him and not Alan,

But like a part of me also thinks it might be funny if it just actually was Alan

It's not. But still

Part six of EP 11 TDBK

Leo : stop following me, dude. You're dragging me down.

Also Leo:

"anyway, we're going on break."

"are you saying you don't care if we get assaulted?"

"two of the most capable guards"

"we on for tonight then?"

The fucking king of mixed signals here. THE HELL IS UR PROBLEM???

TDK spoilers EP 11 part fffffffive. Not four. Just did four.

Aren't they meant to be subtle? This isn't an Otome game

Aren't they meant to be subtle?????

THIS ISNT AN OTOME GAME!?!?!?

"all I'm saying is-" bro you weren't only saying anything???

Could everyone lay the FUCK off for ten goddamn minutes all this sexual harassment is gonna really fuck up MC's sense of boundaries 😭

Like Towa is fine cuz it's mostly hugs. Taiga is weird but his is intimidation so. Ed is just a fucking creep and the game acknowledges that. Jiro is a nurse so him not seeing it as inherently sexual is fine. WHAT THE FUCK IS LEOS DEAL????

Part 4 of TDBK EP 11 spoilers and holy shit dude

BRO THIS GUY MAKES ALAN LOOK LIKE A TWINK granted this guy is also a like a middle aged man and not a young adult (if that) but still

How do u get "Alan Mido" from "Todoroki" vice versa? ???

Immediately and audibly went "oh shit yeah my bad"

Yeah he's just fucking with them. Also great idea taking them and not the ones who were actually doing the violence, so smart Leo 👏👏👏 round of applause for the smartest man in an empty room

Part III of EP 11 and what the fuck is Leo's deal

"Dear diary, I believe I'm a good person"

Do they fr write numbers on inmates necks in prison??? Also nervous MC in the background of a much more confident characters shot is starting to feel like a running theme

"these guys" as in Vagastrom or "these guys" as in prison guards

I assume Vagastrom, but like MC bro there's literally only one problem child in Vagastrom and he's right beside u

I tested out the other options and I like how no matter what u say Leo steps in to cover for u. Like I get it's to not compromise the mission but yk. Still.

Tdbk EP 11 part 2

Ah yes, undercover in a massive prison, that can't go wrong. It's not like violent or dangerous things ever happen to new prisoners. It's not like that's a big part of prison.

Also how is Alan already out wasn't he like just in prison

Is this one of those annoying things movies do where they show you a future scene and then go back to the past and don't tell you that it was a flash-forward?

Okay I thought everyone was dramatizing things when they shipped these two but my brother in Christ why r u blushing

Tdbk EP 11 spoilers this time

I've decided to label the parts this time for clarification so this would be part one ig

First of all, ALAN??? WHAT

Did he fucking kill somebody

ALAN

Secondly, Dude what even is his problem.

Like she's not gonna "steal the spotlight" dude she hasn't even used her ring for the past 1, 2, THREE missions. And she still has yet to use it with any Jabberwock, Sinostra, Hotarubi OR Obscuary ghouls. SHE DOESNT EVEN MAKE PLANS bro u r worried about nothing.

This is the worst fucking idea in all of Darkwick history man

Wait, if interdorm missions are a "new" thing in the TDBK story, then what the hell were Taiga and Haku doing?

And if all the inspectors had quit already, how come they were on a mission at all?

Like were they just on a date and happened to come across an anomaly or what

And was Sinostra not already on probation or???

Speaking of interdorm missions, was that just like a one time thing or like. What happened to that

Hey so uh

(alt account, no it's not my birthday, wanted to see if I'd get anything, I didn't, not the point)

What the hell do you mean

What does this mean

What do you mean by this

What

?

What does he mean

Okay but Partner In Crime by Madilyn Mei with the MC from Tokyo Debunker

"Maybe I'm just an anomaly. Even my demons have their families"

"I was never meant to win" x3

"I'm 'bout to die Yet the only thing I find I'm worried about is you. Something tells me you aren't coming, Guess that I'm truly doomed"

"Oh, I know that we're not the same. My heart's on the line. I'm just a pawn in your game, Not your partner in crime"

"You're slowly killing me. Taking your time. You're slowly killing me. Taking your- (I was never meant to win)"

"You're slowly killing me, And yet I don't mind (You were never meant to win)"

"You're slowly killing me, But please take your time."

Anyway I love Madilyn Mei's whole discography listen to her music and you'll understand ^^

I'm sorry it's been like weeks and I still can't get over the ending of EP 7 in Tokyo debunker

Like it's just

MC: and I think, as long as we all work together-

Taiga: fuck this, I'm out.

MC: shit

Jin: shut the fuck up man. Sit your silly ass back down.

Taiga: stupid fucking mind control IM STILL NOT PARTICIPATING

Jin: I'll pay double

Taiga: triple

Jin: do you have any idea how fucking rich I am. Quadruple for you to shut the hell up and stop causing problems.

Taiga: deal

Mc finishes her little speech and suddenly a sluttier Twilight love interest shows up to sexually harass her as usual (Ren and Ritsu be damned)

Ed: Haha yeah the Galas great anyway, don't forget that the Inspector is straight up gonna go reverse-birdbox-monster if we don't all get our shit together so. Baiii

*they proceed to not get their shit together for like the next month at least*
