If you don’t believe Marluxia is a major sadist…
Go play CoM again. Or at all. Or at least watch an LP of it.
Then come back here and try to tell me you still don’t believe.
#Marluxia #seriously guys #the dude’s twisted #but that’s why we love him #sadist
But Nerdvana! His hair is pink and his power is flowers! He can’t be anything but a silly gay butterfly!
Never mind the cherry blossom imagery AND THE GIANT FUCKING SCYTHE to get across THAT THIS MOTHERFUCKER REPRESENTS DEATH.
No kidding. I mean he does get a lot of respect as a character, but just as many people choose to ignore the symbolism and his obviously dark, manipulative personality, simply because of his hair color and the source of his powers. (It was stated somewhere, officially but not in-game, that his power is actually plants in general, but of course we only saw the flower aspect. Giving people fuel for their idiocy.) It infuriates me.
#show some respect#he’s a badass
I really, really want to find some fanfic about him and the other CoM peeps that keeps them all in character. Like, there was so much bitch!Larxene shit back in the day, but it wasn’t the right kind of bitch, you know? More like…. the head cheerleader in high school movies.
And, of course, Silly Gay Butterfly Marluxia.
i mean come on guys helLO THEY WERE PLOTTING A REBELLION AGAINST THE SUPERIOR BECAUSE REASONS AND TRIED TO MANIPULATE SORA INTO HELPING AND THEY FUCKING MURDERED LIKE HALF THE VILLAIN CAST AND SDFGHJKL;
“I really, really want to find some fanfic about him and the other CoM peeps that keeps them all in character.”
Challenge accepted. I’ll send you the link once it’s done and posted. May be a while because life and working on another (potentially lengthy) fic atm, but I’ll get it done. I’m already looking forward to your feedback.
I get the feeling that was part of why Vexen was there, too. Not just to create Repliku, but also because I feel a strong, unspoken implication that Xemnas had absolutely NO trust in Marluxia. Like he sent Vexen to be his eyes and ears, because he knew the rank-obsessed mad scientist would be all too happy to earn brownie points by spoiling Marly’s little party. He played along fairly well, but when you see him in those cutscenes, you see it in his eyes; his eyes just say “I’m totally gonna fuck up your shit, Marluxia, because you’re this little shit trying to become the leader and if anybody’s getting a promotion of any kind it’s gonna be me, bitch.” every time they’re in a cutscene together.
[ Can we also, y’know, talk about the fact that he wields a scythe with one hand? A scythe is a two-handed weapon. He holds that like it’s a goddamn TOOTHPICK.
