Axl Low has changed my life because I hold my fast food like this now. Never had thought to do that. If you cradle the bag in the crook of your arm like that you can grab the drink with that same hand and have an entirely free hand for your keys. I can get into my car now. I realize this is an insane post but you have to understand I was walking to my car and didn't know how to get to my keys and I thought of this and was "This is fucking stupid but my whole world is different now. What the fuck."

Thank you Axl Low

ups and downs but also the hourglass but also drift but also the gravity but also

keep forgetting to post but the reason Asuka's theme is called "The Gravity" is that you can trt and explain gravity however you like, but no matter what its existence is undeniable - Gravity simply "is." That's why you have the the repeated opening of "All things as they are" at the start of the song and why Asuka jokes that "maybe we can disprove gravity next" with R# - he is so CLOSE to getting it; the concept of Gravity is the closest comparison he has to understanding the truth that feelings are not always quantifiable and simply "are." Gravity is a scientific concept that he can grasp cause for him it's rooted in "reality" which is the vehicle through which Asuka understands the world, so it's an attempt at using what he DOES understand as a bridge for him between reality and truth, or science/logic and emotion/feeling. If you even care.

Axl Low is conceptually so funny in-universe. You've got this poor guy who by all accounts is the sweetest coolest guy, but he's literally a gang leader. BUT. He leads a gang to end violent crime in his town and he does it by fighting but without netting a SINGLE CASUALTY while doing it - he just beats up all these criminals and almost every single time they're like "This guy kinda rules I'm signing up with him actually" and he SUCCEEDS in ending crime in his neighborhood doing that. Then he meets his girlfriend and she thinks he's such a weird goofy guy and she falls in love instantly. Things are Great and then he is Yeeted Through Time multiple times. He ends up a few hundred years into the future and he just kinda deals with it, maintaining a glass-half-full attitude for the majority of that time despite this being probably one of the most horrifying things that can happen to a person. No one really cares about all that though, because the guy with time powers is Very Dangerous because of the time powers. Imagine being told "That guy over there is an extremely dangerous threat to reality on a metaphysical level" and you look over and they're pointing at some guy with the Union Jack plastered all over him just DESTROYING a hamburger and he looks over and waves at you.

By Xrd and Strive he's got control of his powers, and this makes him A Very Seriously Dangerous Threat. The Original contacts him personally to deliver a message to The Fucking Gear Maker. The Gear Maker sees him cause like "Holy shit. The Axes of Time. This guy is very dangerous and we should be careful" and Axl Low shows up, asks him if he's The Famous War Criminal Who Caused All This Bullshit, and freaks out and leaves when said war criminal offers him cookies for his trouble.

Jack-O asks Sol in Strive what the biggest threat to the world is right now and he goes "Axl" with a straight face. They talk about how dangerous he could be and within 4 seconds of that conversation Axl Low drops out of Fucking Nowhere onto their Speeding Motorcycle cause he needs Sol's help to save some innocent people on a hunch. How do you not shit yourself? I'll tell you how - because Axl Low is the equivalent of accidentally tripping into hell and meeting the devil and it turns out that the devil is actually just a fluffy golden retriever who has NO idea what he's doing and just wants pats like any other normal dog. Except he is just really powerful so people make assumptions. "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" not my boy Axl Low. Decided against doing what he wanted to get what he wanted most because he wasn't going to erase an entire timeline to get home, even though he easily could've justified it as "Not my problem, not my fault, this is awful." The second he has full control over his time powers he uses it to either help people or get fast food really quickly so he has time for a stupid quip after a round. What a fucking hilarious character dude imagine if you met father time and he was just like "can I borrow some cash for McDonald's?" because that's pretty much how he acts. And you're just bewildered so you're like sure, hand him a 20, and you blink and father time came back cause he got you some fries. I fucking adore this man.
