Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.
Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now
Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.
Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!
Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

I almost made a very long, extremely personal plea to chill the fuck out about making it your mission to ensure someone who you dislike never sees a peaceful second. but then I realized that sentence alone should be read and absorbed.
I am begging you. chill the fuck out.

au where idol k is a reality competition show and the popularity pool result is the final round up (which means yata and fushimi get to debut in the same group, yay?) (also, idk if you are familiar with korean reality shows like produce 101 or boys planet, but they usually arrange the seats in a way that the #1 seat is at the top and its usually a big deal where the trainees choose to sit on the first day. They can also kick other idols out of their seats in whichever way both trainees choose to compete for the seat, but this is usually done for the #1 seat)
Can you imagine that group, not just Yata and Fushimi debuting together but also Mikoto and Munakata too, the rest of the group would be trying just to keep those four from killing each other or destroying the set. Yata and Fushimi would probably be early frontrunners even from the start, like Yata's energy and Fushimi's mysterious aura of gloom make them very popular amongst the audience. Initially they take seats on opposite sides but maybe after the first round of voting Yata ends up first and in the middle seat, he's all proud of himself and gloating to Fushimi, who immediately decides to challenge him. From that point on the two of them are constantly swinging between who's in first and who's second, complaining that 'who would want to debut with you' even when it's more than clear that they're both going to end up in the final group together.
Meanwhile the rest of the group are all doing their best to be noticed with those two causing all the chaos. Munakata is the smooth polished idol who commands attention from the moment he steps on the stage while Mikoto's very lackadaisical about the whole thing, imagine Munakata always having to lecture him about trying his hardest for the fans and Mikoto just yawns in his face. Despite their differences the two are only below Yata and Fushimi, maybe something happens halfway through that nearly gets Mikoto disqualified and there's a whole storyline about how Munakata reacts (by appearing disapproving but really he's irritated that Mikoto could have blown his whole career). The whole issue also involves Mikoto's fellow trainees Kusanagi and Totsuka, say Totsuka has to leave for a while after being shot by a crazed fan and Munakata thinks Kusanagi has been encouraging Mikoto's poor behavior in the aftermath. This causes Mikoto's popularity to momentarily dip, but once the whole thing is resolved and Totsuka returns Mikoto jumps back up to just one spot below Munakata. Mikoto would prefer to take a seat as far from Munakata as possible but you know wherever he ends up sitting Munakata just so happens to show up next to him.
For the rest of the group, I imagine Kuroh and Shiro trying to be low key in the background, Kuroh working hard quietly and trying to avoid drama while Shiro sits next to him a lot and they become friends. Kuroh does have some issues when his adoptive brother Yukari ends up joining the show too and becomes popular, Yukari's true passion is beauty but he believes that can be found in singing as well. Kuroh had thought that Yukari gave up on performing when he left their training with idol producer Ichigen Miwa, Yukari however met up with young up and coming idol trainee Hisui and now they're a team, this probably somehow turns into Kuroh and Shiro versus Yukari and Hisui and Shiro's like I thought we were avoiding drama. Meanwhile actually avoiding drama are dark horse underdogs Doumyouji and Akiyama, who no one even noticed were constantly polling highly until they make the final group.
