In your AiNi thoughts I’m surprised you did not bring up Kizuna and Lien. I personally did not like how they hooked up despite Lien being creepy about it and Kizuna having no respect for him at first and mostly ended up dating/hooking up in a very forced and contrived way after Kizuna loses the use of her legs.

(***SPOILERS for A.I.: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative are ALL OVER this post, sorry. I'll try to tag this in every way I can think of.***)

Note: By the way, if anyone missed my post sharing my final thoughts RE: AITSF-nirvanA Initiative? It's here.

As someone who is blissfully unaware of what it's like to have an actual stalker — in fact, I've never known anyone personally who had to deal with one — I've previously proven to be receptive and even sometimes warm to "the once-unnerving relationship with the unwanted stalker bizarrely turns out to be the correct path when the stalker's love winds up being sincere" romance narratives. A personal failing, I'm certain, but... well, there it is. (This probably also could be seen as a symptom of how I'm drawn towards dumb, "edgy" bullshit in a lot of fiction, particularly anime.)

I can absolutely sympathize with where you're coming from, though. I know that my response to such thing is... not exactly enlightened of me. And the entire "six years ago" storyline really did make Lien seem like a borderline lunatic. The confession of love/proposal in the restaurant? He seemed like a giant moron, but at least a relatively harmless one. Once he started appearing EVERYWHERE she was? LESS HARMLESS.

In addition, I hate "love at first sight" narratives — I do not believe in such a thing ever being anything more than aesthetic desire/lust —AND I initially had the impression that Lien was even older than he actually is supposed to be, which made me recoil at his advances towards Kizzy even MORE. But by the time they were burying the box, it was pretty obvious where this was going, so I tried to open my mind to the eventuality.

And ultimately, I found it hard not to be won over by their relationship in the "six years later" timeline..... even if the relationship in the "six years prior" timeline should probably have resulted in a restraining order. Ultimately, Lien proves to be less of a threat and more a simpleton. His love is so pure and so unrelenting because he's too dense to be aware of any other option, it seems.

(Actually, given how Kizuna's father responded to their eventual engagement, how the hell DIDN'T he get a restraining order against Lien at any point during those six years? It's not like he didn't know the guy was around... )

This is so real because I feel like Renju as the same case

They're both very negligent of Mizuki, Shoko just being violent on top of that

But they're both fucked up parents

I don't like Renju, as much as I dont like Shoko

Yet I see so many people liking him, it rubs me the wrong way

I know there's nuance to all of that, but I can't bring myself to like Renju, at all, just like Shoko

They still are interesting characters on their own though

I don't blame anyone liking either of them btw, it's just.. weird, to me, that's all

I feel the same way as op tbh

🔥Shoko Nadami

you know i was going to respond to this saying something like "a rare case of a female character being hated not because 'you all say you want evil women until you get one' but i still think she's a good character in the story and should be viewed that way" and then i realised i have very little equivalent to base my perception of that on. cause i was thinking about en-- oh my god wait people make posts defending manfred von karma don't they. i just remembered the posts about the guy who kins him. --- AND WILLIAM AFTON. god. ignore all that.

hot take: You all say you want evil women until you get one.

PSYNCIN' IN THE MaiN: 2

[burnmyloveaway]

So I re-watched the aini hidden ending and when Ryuki goes to the stadium he talks with the Mizukis and they say they remember having fought there. If you click on Mizuki Kuranushi before selecting options to talk with her, Ryuki says that to refer to/call her, he chose to use "Bibi/Nene" like lil' Mizuki does 🥺🥺🥺
