Remember how I said that a while ago I'd be posting up stuff about Silence is Golden?

Well, it seems that now is the time.

Precisely! But sometimes people forget that he's a manipulative bastard to put even Zexion to shame, so I try and make him what he is.

.... Thank you .____.
So many other fans I've come across either make Axel out to be this complete badassed-has no friends-all enemies kind of guy, or they turn him into a ball of fluff who would curl up in a corner and die is he lost his Roxas.... AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS! Yes he is manipulative and on the whole, a bad guy, but I think a lot of fans are really ignoring that he has done things that I think redeem him. I know the first game in which we were introduced to him we never saw the good side of him, so evil, backstabbing, manipulative Axel was the only canon they knew, but since KHII and 358 days it's not true anymore. The only reason he even lied to Roxas was to protect him (I fail to see the HOMYGOD EVIL in that). I donno, sometimes I want to ask people if we were even playing the same games. In my book, mischaracterization is only allowed until every aspect of their character is revealed, so before KH II it was fine. Bah, I have the same arguments with Demyx though. People are still mischaracterizing him even after his full personality was revealed >:|

HOMYGOD, have you ever read "The hand life deals" on FF.net? That story is literally my darkfic inspiration and I don't know why. The way things ended in that story were so real and none cliche and sudden that I use it as a guide for "how to darken shit up without being a fangirl about it."

Sometimes the ending of Sex ed 101 has the same effect... :| And I can't wait to see how Mnemonic ends :]

I wish the game would give a back story to Axel's tattoos. I would really like to see what they can think up.

Welcome! ^^

See, I always saw him somewhere in the middle of that, even when I had just played KHII, not CoM. (Am still a sad person who can't get hang of the combat system enough to finish the game, but damnit, I want to make it to Riku's side of the story...) Playing through Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days has made it easier for me to see the darker, less caring side of all the characters, and I sorta like it. Now, mind, I'm still upset at what they did to Demyx, because I think they should've kept a little more of his "No, we have hearts" thing he had going in KH2, but that's just personal preference.

Everything Axel ever did was for Roxas. Doesn't make him evil, doesn't make him needy. It's just true. Every. Single. Thing.

And, no, I haven't read it, but I'll check it out when I have time! It sounds interesting, and Heaven knows I need all the help I can get with non-cliche endings.

XD. Just like that. Right now, I'd like to see how Mnemonic ends... /scowls at story. It's being all over the place. But I'll pull it back in soon enough!

That's sorta what I'm hoping Birth By Sleep will do! (HOMG, I SO WANT TO SEE LEA, AND BABBY!IENZO, AND WHY CAN'T THEY PUT MYDE IN THEEEEREEEE?)

[onemoreparadise]

He is definitely in the middle <3

I actually enjoyed Demyx's personality a bit more. Granite I did enjoy the "We do have hearts" Demyx. It actually made me support Zemyx more... as crazy as that sounds. I find more similarities in their personalities now. The only conflict would be the Lazy + hard-worker things. Even that though, I personally know that those two meshing personalities CAN work. I'm a hard worker, and my boyfriend of two years is very Demyx like in work ethic. We get frustrated with each other and fight but sometimes I find the way he gets around work clever and kind of funny. It also takes a hard worker to keep someone lazy on schedule. Vise Versa, It takes someone lazy to get a hard worker to drop their work and relax. I really enjoy the dynamics of the Zemyx relationship and how it can play out. I do picture arguments over work, but something in my mind tells me that if they were in a relationship those arguments would get resolved (because Demyx does EVENTUALLY work... or get Roxas to do it) and who could stay mad at Demyx little face?

Exactly. I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand that a bad guy can't have a best friend he cares about :|

YESPLZ OHGOSH! is it really that hard to throw in the last few members as sombodies? .____.

[zenelly]

Definitely. Axel's wonderful like that.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Demyx too. I just wished they had kept a bit more of his kinda naive idea that everything would work out fine. It would've been a nice balance to everyone else, since they're all doom and gloom. And oh, god, Zexion's actually pretty damn lazy. Efficient, but he prefers to get others to do his work. Which makes me giggle.

Because they want it to be "TWU WUV FO'EVAH" which they apparently can't do without making Axel practically a woman. DX.

I KNO, RITE? Oh man, can you imagine how CUTE he'd be? *squees*

[onemoreparadise]

Eh, well there was nothing in 358 days that suggested that he can't still be naive, just not about them having hearts. Personally I don't know how they can avoid the doom and gloom. I think Xemnas was just out to screw them all over .____. Haha, I don't think it's really laziness as much as it's manipulative skillz >:3 What surprised me was the Demyx seemed to have the same skillz when it came to getting Roxas to do everything for him.

OH GAWD THOSE FANS >:0 Do not understand DDDD:

Oh gosh! Ienzo's just a cutie pie! he looks like such a little sour-puss. I love that he's so young too. I can just picture the original six as his babysitters and family. It paints such a cute image in my head!

[zenelly]

That's true, I guess.... I haven't played that game more than once, so obviously it's gonna take me more than just one playthrough to get everything. (Aw shucks, I 'll have to play through a KH game...) Xemnas really was just ...fucking with everyone.... *sigh* Demyx is more manipulative than people give him credit for. He pulls off blonde and ditzy too well.

I don't either! It makes it so much more real when Axel has that taint to him!! *growls*

ISN'T HE??? ISN'T HEEE? Oh, I just want to cuddle him! *can't wait to see all of the Somebodies in the game*

[onemoreparadise]

AJSJDLJASLJD you have to unlock.... or just look up, the secret diary entries from the other organization members in 358 days. It not only shows all those HOMYGOD AXEL'S EVIL fans that Axel DOES have a nice streak, but it really hinted to me that Xemnas was about to screw them all over. There's actually a really sad diary entry by Luxord that I liked :|

I unlocked some of them in game but GAH it takes way too long, don't do it. Look them up -_____-

[zenelly]

Aaaaaaaaaargh, there are SECRET ones? *bangs head against wall in frustration* I'll go look them up. Soon. Tomorrow. *is tired* Luxord's such a dear, and I'm sorta sad that I don't get to put him in many more situations than the "Oh, look, I gamble on the rumor mill" one. He'll get more than that eventually. Hopefully.

[onemoreparadise]

They're on Game FAQ's. They definitely add a new dynamic to Axel. He mentions several times that being around Roxas and Xion make him feel human, and that being around so much emotion overwhelms him.

[zenelly]

.....I wanna hug him now....... *wibbles*
