I’m supposed to be handing in my thesis tomorrow and my brain is sludge so in my temporary insanity I made this
Here’s the blank for anyone who has 5Ds arc opinions and needs to scream. It’s a PNG, be free children

Is this an objectively terrible idea? Absolutely.
Do I adore Crow for making it anyway (and getting really fired up on Aki’s behalf)? ABSOLUTELY.
you ever listen to a playlist and all of the sudden a song that has incredible blorbo energy comes on you're you're just like this
Ok. Ok. Look. I don’t care where you stand on Roseknightshipping in particular, I don’t even care where you stand on 5Ds shipping in general, but you cannot. You cannot tell me there’s anything remotely straight about this moment. Like, this cannot have been an accident.
*deep breath* Hiiiiiiii.
After sitting on this for ages, I finally decided to make the Crow post. And because this ended up getting stupidly long, I decided to turn this into part one of two, maybe three, we’ll see (which I honestly should have done with the Aki posts too, but oh well). So let me quickly make it clear what I’m about here: This analysis is not meant to convince people who hate Crow to change their mind. It is also not meant to dissuade people who love Crow from doing so. Instead, I wanna look at how Crow was handled during the show (up until the end of the DS arc for now, I’ll dive into the rest later) and give my own take on why he developed the way he did and turned into such a polarising character. Also, disclaimer, despite the fact that I’ll be making an effort to analyse things objectively, I am a mere human and obviously not the one and only expert on all things 5Ds. My only claim to knowledge here is that I’ve watched 5Ds several times now, love the show and its characters deeply, and like to think I have a decent amount of media literacy. Also, I take no responsibility for the length of this post. Despite me splitting things up, it’s stupidly, exhaustingly long. Like, very, very long. So. Let’s hop to it, shall we?

I have returned. In other words, back to my regularly scheduled nonsense (also known as my 5ds rewatch)
Ah. Just remembered my laptop’s still in for repairs. Rats.
