Good Things # 1
There were good things about Hiro.
Hiro got results. Hiro looked good in the rain. Hiro had excellent balance and was a very fast sprinter. Hiro could easily avoid projectiles. Hiro looked dramatic leaning against doorframes, and didn't let his emotions cloud his usually good judgment. Usually.
Hiro was persuasive. Hiro could get people to do things that they couldn't possibly do, given their condition. Hiro zeroed in on the strongest link immediately. Hiro tried to make people their personal best, even though their personal best was never good enough for him. Hiro was intimidating. Hiro was self-possessed and determined. Hiro was free as a fucking bird.
Hiro saw to the heart of the matter. Hiro was nice. Sometimes.
Hiro had an alter-ego who was still a jerk, but nicer than his usual self. Hiro used his alter-ego for the good of the many. Like a superhero or something.
Hiro knew exactly what he wanted and went for it. Hiro wasn't afraid of hurting people or hurting himself. Hiro thought he was necessary, so he was unfailingly self-confident in every situation. Hiro wasn't afraid of looking like an idiot, which kept him from looking like an idiot.
Hiro didn't apologize.
A/N: The Good Things, now just 1 and 2... are about the characters of Beyblade I despise. And that... there are good things about them too. Good things that help me hate them. It's never because they're bad characters. It's the fact that they're good characters that gives me so much canon fodder. So much to hate. So much depth to hate. The last lines of these drabbles are the most important.
I thought it would be an interesting assignment for me to figure out my opinions on these people. Hiro, Judy... eventually Mr. D, Bryan, Brooke...
