Warning on this one, my Yaten is agender as hell. I’ll be using they pronouns
- Why they are the best
They’re such a ridiculous diva, they’re petty and can be downright mean, and I love the ways they’re like Michiru but are still such a contrast to her. And I really love that out of the starlights, they’re the one who seems to absolutely reject Earth. I LOVE THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT DISDAIN FOR THIS PLANET, IT MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING. - Why they are the worst
They never got as fleshed out as much as I’d like, so it’s hard to really dig in past the superficial characterization - a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
I’ve never really gelled with their investment in Minako in her idol competition episode, at least not the way it played out (I could see it if it was more that they regarded her with cool disdain and ended up feeling a little bit of care, but to me it felt mismatched) - a non-canon fact (that should be)
REI AND YATEN TRY TO DATE
Uh my weird doomed trash ship aside, I gotta go with gender, I’m really invested in it - a piece of advice I would give them
SOMETIMES BEING A JERK ISN’T COOL, IT’S JUST BEING A JERK
(also I’d advise them to tell me about their past because while I think they were always a snob they def cared about something deeply and losing it made them AN ULTRA SNOB)
