Finally someone is saying it

Every fandom needs to hear this.

A pedestal is a tiny constrained place to stand in. Why would anyone want to be there?

Putting someone on a pedestal is just as dehumanizing as treating them like they’re beneath you. In both cases, you’re not seeing them as equals.

Idia & Malleus Statues

I remember back in March 2019 for the first time I saw Malleus as a key visual of Twst. I don’t know why I immediately love the pose coming out of the coffin which seemed like a powerful-important character and I love the character with “dark” vibe. But Idia(and Ortho) easily distracted me quickly after the introduction of the other characters.

As I thought from the start, Malleus is one of the characters I love after getting to know him more deeply and love him to this day. I realized the characters I love are of the same type. It’s simply their way of thinking that I can agree with and I’m glad they both have something in common in many ways.
