Just a Few Thoughts about Yata
Feb. 6th, 2019 07:43 pmSo I love K, I just do. It makes sense to me and is easy to write in and think about and I love K despite its flaws, and somewhere along the way I got thinking about Yata and finally figured out a bit of why I don't get nearly as much secondhand embarrassment with him as I ought to, by all rights, and part of why I love him so much and why everything with Fushimi hit him soooooo hard.
He's more self-aware than people give him credit for. He knows he's awkward and doesn't get it right and puts his foot in it and can't read a room, etc. He knows he doesn't quite fit in and sometimes people don't like him and he's too much, and the more I think about some of the things he said at the beginning of Lost Small World and his reaction to Totsuka in Blaze and his reaction to being alone or left behind by his friends or Fushimi or Homra, Yata feels like he doesn't fit in or belong a lot of the time and actually seems really sensitive and trying to hide it and feels unwanted when people don't stay around.
Which is something I really, really get. He tries really hard and he's so earnest, and yet, he really does have a hard time getting it right with people all the time, especially people who don't already know and love him.
Just a few thoughts.
