cw: suicide ideation
I do not know how familiar you are with ygo but basically in one arc where Mokuba gets kidnapped, Intensity forces himself out of a 6-month coma, immediately hops on a helicopter, fights off multiple people with trading cards and metal briefcases and guns (LIKE YOU DO), and then when he's about to lose a card game to Yugi/King to save his brother (just more ygo things) - he emotionally manipulates both of them by threatening to throw himself off a castle to his death if they don't throw the match.
They throw the match. Intensity's dickish plot is a raging success that haunts both characters for the entire series. But it also highlights just to what lengths he is willing to go to save his brother.
SMASH CUT to Imeeji and he finds out his brother has been in Hell for MONTHS. And not only that, he's not on a nice production where he gets to judge puppies. Oh no. He's on some death maze show with deadly traps and blood thirsty competitors. And he's died so many times that he has not 1, not 2, but THREE corruptions. So not only is Mokuba trapped in a hellscape nightmare program, but he can't even graduate from it. (Sidenote: Lilith's nightmare for Intensity was Mokuba being pulled to the Imeeji production. He finds this alternative actual reality to be worse than the nightmare.)
So yes, HYPER FUELED to take over Hell is probably an understatement at this point. In fact, he probably can't wait until he becomes King of Hell to fix this problem. So stay tuned for him going hard on the side of Vengeance in the near future because he needs that fucking wish. Or a favor. And he needs it like yesterday. Still working out the logistics on what that is going to be, but when Intensity knows B and C will probably be in the first wave of people who will know about it. And it's probably best that he starts building his Hell repertoire sooner than later. B and C have Exael/Pythia/Heaven well handled in their corner pocket. Though he might nominate King as his heavenly stand in if he does get entrenched in Vengeance and also ask Yvette for some very strategic mind wiping.
Only time will tell.
As a note, since GM game, Intensity has been "phoning in" a lot of his usual concerns and pleasantries because everything else has been de-prioritized. Sorry, everyone. The only reason he's been putting on a show for the games (i.e. extra bets in the mistletoe game) is to keep up ratings and exposure. If belief and standing out rule the world, well then he's not going to let anyone forget who the fuck he is.
Can I ask for CR? Is that an acceptable question.
If not, tell me if C's end game has changed. Or what plans does he have for his gang?
Re: cw: suicide ideation
AND THATS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE i will answer both
SO INTENSITY IS ONE OF THE TOP PEOPLE C RESPECTS and will like, answer to should he need to. C will do almost anything one of his subordinates asks, but as for people giving HIM orders he won't question much, that is really only.........B. Even Silver is not quite there yet. It's different from the trust window, which Intensity is still in, but overall C sees Intensity as someone who gets shit Done for better or worse. Something will happen, even if it's a bad outcome, it's better than them all staying stagnant. This is why he's willing to partner up with Intensity and will pretty much roll with anything. He admires him a lot! He has told others that Intensity is an ideal leader, and even aspires to command that much presence in a room like Intensity does. (also, canon implies that his interests not only include games, but also military leaders, so Intensity just checks of points of all the kinds of shit he likes).
ON A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL, Intensity has just been really good in C's opinions? His companionship and importance to B absolutely hasn't gone unnoticed, and he's glad the both of them have that friendship, since C knows there are some things he can't approach B about but Intensity and B seem to have an understanding and hit those topics, both personal and business wise. But he has also always noticed Intensity sticking his neck out for him and generally always having C's back--even though he was like, choking on his blood at the moment, he absolutely recognized Intensity trying to help him back during the Trial before his head fell off. And he generally noticed how much Intensity would encourage or tolerate his antics (giving him firecrackers, golf carts, etc) BUT ALSO doesn't mind jabbing back at him (SNAKEPIT!!!) so overall he just found Intensity to be FUN and honestly once someone tolerates C for more than 15 minutes C has decided they are a friend.
AND FAST FORWARD TO MORE RECENTLY, after C's live, he did in fact appreciate Intensity (among others) trying to get C's head back on straight and calm him down before he did something stupid while magic brainwashed. C is all about his image, so anyone helping him protect it is A++
BUT IT ALSO CAME WITH THE AWKWARD SIDE EFFECT OF, C saw Mokuba from the distance and lowkey was like "ah;;; is that why he liked me. . ." AND I GOT BURNED OUT IN NOV/DEC AND DROPPED THE THREAD otherwise would have had C ask him then, but it was a small blow to C internally, but not so much that he doesn't still like/respect Intensity--it's just a freaky coincidence that he resembled his brother so much, and tbh, even if he has no siblings, C Gets It. He lowkey wonders how long Intensity's remembered his brother and if it was ever troubling to have this gremlin look alike running around. BUDDY MUST HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING. So he doesn't hold it against him and has added Mokuba to the list of people they need to pluck out of hell ASAP.
OVERALL HE JUST, LIKES INTENSITY A LOT and is there to be in the long game so long as Intensity is there too, as he's accepted this isn't a long con he can pull on his own. But even outside of business, he's happy to chill and banter with Intensity and see how much he can get away with without being chased out, and is completely on board helping out his brother.
AS FOR HIS END GAME/PLANS FOR HIS GANG -- NOPE. STILL WANTS TO BECOME GOD.
This has actually solidified since becoming officially involved with Silver! C loves and trusts a lot of people buuuuut...ultimately only has faith in himself to ensure his plans go off. He feels like to Truly achieve his ideal ending, and to make sure all his friends and subordinates lead happy lives after this, he HAS to seize godhood, even if only for a moment. He'd gladly give it up after (and honestly would hand it over to Exael if he could. probably not the best plan BUT ALSO, WOULDN'T BE HIS PROBLEM AFTER THAT ) but to make sure all the pieces are in order, he wants to be able to control his fate. I'm not sure if Intensity knows he's dead yet, but with that knowledge, C doesn't see what he has to lose. He really does want to go home with the twins, but trusts them to be able to move on if something happens to him.
Ultimately his ideal would be 'become a work from home god' and just do deity business while Silver's off doing volleyball games, but nothing is ever that simple lol.
REVERSE CR ME!!!!
