do you guys believe in second chances? what if it’s their first time hurting you but they did it in ways you didn’t think they were capable of? what if the pain felt as if they carved your heart out? what if they come back apologizing, guilty, regretful, truthful, would you still give them a second chance? wouldn’t giving them a second chance be like tearing your own flesh open once more?

While it is not uncommon for Mafuyu to be depicted without highlights in her eyes, her The Road That Has Been Cut Off untrained 4* is the only card that has ever changed her eye colour to be darker. This is to signify that this is quite possibly the lowest point Mafuyu has been at throughout the entire game’s story.

At this point, Mrs Asahina has thrown away Mafuyu’s synthesiser and “accidentally damaged her laptop and sent it to be repaired”, completely cutting Mafuyu off from her only source of support in 25-ji, Nightcord de.

Comparison with The "Good" Me trained 3* below.

Even if were to say that it made sense for Kairi "alleged light in the darkness" Last Name to be in the tunnel instead of at the end of it (it doesn't + it contradicts KH1, in which she was an actual light at the end of a dark tunnel) or that Sora's visions of people who sacrificed themselves out of love had something to do with her (they don't). Even if we were to do that. What the hell is this

re; forgiving Tsumugi

I think he's easily forgivable when even those who were affected by him the most (Rei, Natsume, even Shu to a degree) have mostly forgiven him and understand in canon that his actions were guided by ultimately misguided good. It's personally hard to hate him when remembering the context he struggles with empathy but yet still actively wants the best for people and is a nice person otherwise. If anything, he still holds a lot of guilt and his current arc in canon with NewDi is to try and make things right for the past.

just answered another ask about this so this'll be far shorter, but

yeah i think most of my previous opinion was based on the fact that: A) I'm extremely biased towards the eccentrics, and B) had watched the anime first, and the anime portrays it.... interestingly

I think when i watched the anime my reaction to the discussion of the war was just "he doesent seem guilty at all??? natsume tf are you doing-" but reading through these asks and going over in-game stuff again is helpful and i can certainly see why people are forgiving him

currently too tired to form my own coherent opinion but uh later i'll post my own analysis and decide whether to forgive him or not, i guess?

idk who needs to hear this (vaush) but being a skilled debater and being Good With Words does not make you correct.

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR TIMEOUT FOR 20000000 YEARS

watched psme again w some friends and it got me thinking about how a lot of stories have polarizing characters + ones who might even be core to (not) enjoying the work but shions notable for these qualities being inseparable from the storytelling. which is awkward!!!

(manga spoilers + mentions of sexual assault under the cut)

theres the fact that their memories are flawed (incomplete and subjective, even before they were eroded by time) but shion consistently sees both himself and others in the most bad faith way possible. this i think is part of why he can act on his resentment the way he does (The worst way!!!! every time!!!!). when he approaches shusuran with the proposal that the two of them go down to earth the way he thinks to sweeten the pot is to add WE COULD PLAY GOD. he doesnt say they could end war with deterrence and never have to suffer the same loss they did back home, which are his actual dreams. he just appeals to base desires of control

rin spends most of the manga terrified of what shion built after he was left alone, thinking that itll destroy their peaceful life on earth. to this end he systematically ruins every relationship he has, even going as far as to try to kill innocent people despite his trauma around it. except in the end, shion chose love!!! but no one knows that, not even he himself.

and this is where things come apart, because to the rest of the moon gang the guy whose eternal soul theyve felt such responsibility for is 1. a scoundrel 2. a rapist.* which would be a remarkable act of forgiveness if it came from people he had more of a relationship with than "uncomfortable coworkers" and also, you know, were the victim. but mokuren never claims he did so and is instead hung up on her mark not having disappeared after they had sex, a sign that she can never shed her divinity and be loved like a human would.

the story doesnt make it obvious if shes shrinking back from a memory that was later invalidated by the presence of the mark, or if her protests were to the act itself. still, she Was unwell for days after the fact, and shion (who notably doesnt have intimacy issues or a problem with treating himself as evil) seems to confirm it as assault. and then they get closer. and the manga ends as a circular, cosmic love story reuniting the two.

If at the heart of that is assault, id rather throw the whole thing out. i cant take the ending as anything other than a refutation of it. but the fact that such an ambiguity exists makes this a difficult work to reccommend

*going unsaid here is, 3. a child. which is fair, but hard to lean on when rins name all but falls out of use for shions

Hi! If a friend came to me and asked my opinion about a guy like this, I'd say get to know the guy. Don't even have to be a dating thing (in my country we don't really have a dating culture, we start as friends). If you're inexperienced and uncertain, those are things you should be able to tell him anyway, and if that's too much for him, well, then he wouldn't make much of a friend for you either. Based on your decription he sounds like a himbo (affectionate), and that's usually always a bonus. TL;DR get to know him, he might make a good friend or boyfriend. As they say, you won't know until you try 😅

thanks! i haven't known him long but i do consider him a friend already which is nice. and he is kind of a himbo but honestly he seems very smart despite the reckless behavior he just doesn't care about dying apparently or going to jail or losing all his money 🤣 (or at least didn't in the recent past but i think he has grown a lot since then tbh) but i do actually prefer the idea of being friends for a good long time then deciding to maybe get married someday, dating doesn't seem like a necessary step for a lot of people and relationships!

“Please will you not reconsider, beloved? The Convocation has already managed to sever her ties to the sisters she connected with, can she not be given another chance?”

“Anthea, it is not my decision to make." Hythlodaeus sighs, shaking his head, "It is hardly Hades’ decision also, before you go pleading to him next.”

“She just needs someone to care for her, show compassion, and teach her that there is more than just the pain and suffering that comes with life." They step further in front of Meteion when he shifts, eyes pleading, "That there is a way to move past it. To have things end does not mean it is the end of life.”

“My love, please-.”

“She’s a good soul and deserves a chance to live!” He looks up, eyes glancing between Meteion and Anthea, brow furrowed. “I know, I know that your sight tells a different story but I know she has one and it needs mending. It needs mending like mine once did.”
