For the ask game: 22 with TKB
Hello hello !! Ty for the ask <3
22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?
With the types of fics I read, I tend to end up with like… TKB with Yami B’s memories post-canon, or the periodic Ancient Egypt AU. I think with TKB’s character I do end up liking him having Yami B’s memories, that continuity between them, etc etc. I also enjoy TKB rehabilitation/redemption arcs but like. Hm.
My absolute favorite rehabilitation/redemption for him is a sort of “I get that Atem didn’t do it himself but that doesn’t mean Kul Elna didn’t happen and I’m still going to point that out with a passion” and like. If incorporating Yami B memories maybe he doesn’t get why people think he was wrong but he understands that, say, he did hurt Ryou, and maybe regrets hurting Ryou but not doing the stuff for his village. Maybe regrets the deal with Zorc since it took him away from that and into world destruction. Top tier character stuff.
I guess the opposite then could tie into what I Don’t Particularly search out immediately… I’m like, very easygoing when reading fic, so I don’t think I’ve run into too much I particularly dislike (or I’ve struck it from my memory lmao) but if TKB like. Bends too much on his ideals. There is a fine balance for him and if he does go the forgiveness or tentative peace route, I prefer it be with his past ideals in tact.
Of course, I’m fine with reading character development on TKB in that regard, and if it goes more bending than I’d prefer, I want the writing to make me believe it! I think that’s what I want in fic. To believe the character changes people put on them :)
