actually no okay... it used to be awesome when he was a kid, but Gozaburo stamped him into super logic and rational thinking. I think! he still has moments of that breed of creativity, but a lot of it is subconscious-- thus kaibaland, thus bewd jet, etc etc. he rarely daydreams, though, and he finds being intentionally "creative" when it isn't related to how to build or manage a thing super difficult. I imagine he might occasionally try but get really frustrated and turn his attention elsewhere so it doesn't feel like he's giving up though he is... kinda sad tbh.
that said if you find imagination in the art of technology and science, he's got it in spades. SO really, I'd say he was once a hyper imaginative kid, but had it shaped into hard numbers and cold science, so... he's still got it, it just doesn't look right.
if it ever did get away from him (daydreaming/dreams/nightmares/creativity), I think it tends toward violent and cruel-- an inner expression of a whole lot of pent-up anger and hate-, which is part of why he (now) shies away from it. shit in a twisted brain gets scary, yo, and he doesn't ever really WANT to acknowledge just how fucked up Gozaburo made him. so! he puts it into his creations.
(this is also why so much of his motifs are stuck on BEWD... .......... she's his symbol of hope and change, but she's also not so creative)
how is character's imagination?
