I think the twins had the potential to be the best borderlands antagonists if they were handled properly. Like if gearbox pulled more from reality it could have been a really interesting concept about parasocial relationships, the dangers of blurring the lines between online and reality, and how idolization can turn someone into a faux god

Yes, yes, coffee black, but what kind of coffee?
Arabica? Robusta?
Light? Medium? Dark roast?
Drip? Pour over? French press? Percolator?
Single origin? Blend?
Ethiopian? Brazilian? Colombian? Hawaiian? Kenyan? (Ad nauseam)
Paris Delight? Landras Blend? Paksor Blend? Firenut Blend? Even-better-than-coffee Substitute?
Fruity notes? Chocolate notes? Earthy notes? Warm notes? Bright notes?
Is it the ritual? The caffeine? The flavor? The comfort? The headache?
And why did she stop taking cream?
Since we know she has coffee opinions...

the way toshinori interacts with your muse is highly dependent on YOUR muse's thoughts and feelings on him, but probably not in the way you think ? it's less of a "you give me attitude, you'll get attitude back" and more of a...respect, or boundary sort of thing.
it's strange for him — especially after the kamino incident, after everyone's let in on his true form, because...well, everyone knows ALL MIGHT. while he knows nothing about you, almost everything about him is laid out on a table in front of the entire general public. everyone has thoughts, opinions, even complicated feelings about all might. he's done so much in his 40 years of serving the world, accomplished such a long list of things — touched the lives of so many people, in the biggest and smallest of ways and everything in between...he will never not be able to walk up to someone and assume that, before he even opens his mouth, that they've already got some form of opinion about him, even if it's someone he's never met a day in his life.
and while most of the time said opinion is GOOD, sometimes...it's really, really bad. sometimes they just don't like the BIG personality, sometimes it's a political thing, sometimes...sometimes it's the one he just couldn't save...literally, figuratively...and when it's a situation like that, he knows there's nothing he can say or do to change it. he won't FORCE you to like him, won't even ask you to be nice to him...
he knows such thoughts and feelings are going to predetermine their attitude towards him and all he can do is adjust accordingly.

i'm so sick of my fellow iranians being cringe as fuck on social media and simping for the state of israel out of some insane the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality like i know this is crazy but you can hate the iranian government without deciding to go full monarchist and act like israelis are liberators of literally anything or anyone
like i'm sorry if the best you can envision for iran is trading one authoritarian for the son of the previous authoritarian (who was literally overthrown bc he was an authoritarian puppet of the united states) solely bc of his name then you hate the iranian people more than i can image
