#shun-day les légendaires

[jaguarys]

Do you have thoughts about the end of les légendaires? I was very disappointed with Shun-Day's arc

OK so in my reread I'm currently on volume 17, but I just finished up Shun-Day's arc so I figured I'd answer this now because YES many thoughts!

In general... I feel like Shun-Day's writing fails her a LOT. She's got so much going for her, and yet... uegh.

I'm not a big fan of Shun-Day and Gryf's relationship at all. Not in the least just because of the discrepancy in age (I'll ignore that for this post because I can't really get into that here without an entire The Poor Women in Les Légendaires section lmao), but I also just don't think it's very compelling. It really only stands to create a love triangle, make Gryf look like a dick, and use Shun-Day as a narrative prop.

I'm somewhat lukewarm on Gryf and Shimy's relationship as well, but in any case it's stupid how quickly she forgives him for all that bullshit. I think in a lot of ways the writing of their relationship just ends up severely weakening her character, which is disappointing. It's not impossible to have a character whose weak to their love interest and still have it be done well, but it doesn't hit that way for me.

Gryf's character also suffers due to all of it to me. I understand the 'pushing people away because of imminent death' trope, and I even like it sometimes, but using another character for it stops it from being false sanctimony and just makes it a douchey move.

However, that doesn't inherently make it a negative! You could still include that dynamic and write it well, with the characters growing because of it and becoming better, but I don't think that's really how it's done. Instead it just ends up being "Oh no, Shun-Day died! Oh well! It's ok because Gryf and Shimy ended up together!" with no real regard to the fact that That Really Fucking Sucks past comedic relief in "lol Gryf and Shimy are bickering again!"

Sidenote but I also think making Shun-Day Amy's daughter is just... a weird choice? It doesn't end up doing anything for the story or for their characters (or even like. Skroa's), and seems to just exist to provide a last minute plot twist.

Honestly as I'm writing this I'm starting to realize that I think maybe the Amour Mortel–– L'Éternité ne Dure Qu'un Temps arc might be my least favorite... I think its writing is reaaally weak in a lot of ways (girl hello Éternity doesn't end up doing shit?).

It's all worth it for Sheibah though.

What is Selenor’s fav character? :0

Selenor:

Hm.. my hairstyle is inspired from a certain “Shun-Day” from “Les Légendaires” so I’ll go towards that choice !

Je les trouve vraiment mignonnes ensemble :3 Si le tome 16 s'était fini autrement, et que Shun-Day avait laissé tomber ce crétin de Gryf, peut-être serait-elle allée chercher asile chez les oustitas :)

Shun est en version Akitten parce queeeee... eh bien parce que ça lui va bien et que j'avais la flemme de lui inventer une version oustitas ^^
