It's Times Like These Where I Just Wished BSD Had A Different Animation Studio.

It's times like these where I just wished BSD had a different animation studio.

WHERE ARE HIS THIGHS?!!? WHERE IS IT?? NIKOLAI’S THIGHS DESERVED MORE THAN THIS! WHERE ARE HIS SCRUMPTIOUS THIGHS??! #justiceforNikolaisthighs

If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking...

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?

Looks like you haven't read stormbringer Because Chuuya shouldn't be in the tier that he is. XD

His backstory is Epic imo

Note : Edited it. 

My BSD Character Tierlist ! Made using @2offayo-kzt ‘s template.

My ranking is based only on how interesting and nuanced I find the characters. And of course, my opinion on how interesting they are is completely subjective and will change on further reading / rereading (so far read till chapter 72 + fan analyses). It’s not based on my like / dislike of their personalities, appearances or quirks (for example, I think Sasaki was a bitch to kill Rokuzo and take out her anger of abandonment on others. And I think Kyouka is a really nice person. But I found Sasaki more intriguing than Kyouka, hence their rankings).

I’d place Gab and H.G. Wells from 55 minutes in S and B tiers respectively. And Pushkin in B tier.

I didn’t make a D tier. 

I’m prepared for immature fans to consider me ‘misogynist’ or ‘sexist’ for not putting Yosano and Kyouka in the top 2 tiers, even though Kouyou and Sasaki are ranked S. 

I don't know about "uwufying" but I ship them for the development. If ppl want to ship them in a fluffy way, then why should I care?

can i bitch about how much i hate how most people ship soukoku ?? because omg please stop uwuifying them i am going to lose my mind. i enjoy their canon dynamic so much and everyone just seems to throw out how complicated they are as partners to put them in cute fluffy scenarios. ughghhhggghhh

I Hate to break this to you, But BSD ain't a Romance and isn't romance oriented so, No ships would be canon. The closest that we have to canon and Romance are the One sided crush ships like, AkuHigu (Akutagawa x Higuchi), AtsuLucy (Atsushi x Lucy) and TsujiAya (Tsujimura x Ayatsuji.) So, yes, It is a "Everyone is beautiful and Noone is Horny" type of thing.

I'm so tired of generic straight romances - pretty Mary Sue x pretty Gary Stu, I-lost-someone-I-loved-romantically-and-that- defines-my-entire-life-and-interactions-and-I-will-never-ever-be-happy-again, the love interest always being pretty with clichéd coolness and sassiness (especially if they're female), that love can only be felt towards good - looking people especially pretty females, etc.

If any of that nonsense is the only (most probably hinted) romance to happen in BSD then I'll be so disappointed. Because so far, BSD has avoided quite a few of these asinine tropes even in some of its potential straight ships, has avoided the travesty of romantic love and love in general that modern media perpetuates.

If BSD has romance arcs / hints that turn into another example of 'everyone is beautiful and no-one is horny', that will be such a tragedy. The excessively conservatively heteronormative section of the fandom is ruining BSD's intriguing, unconventional gay ships, female characters and unconventional straight ships as it is.
