There were three stages to my development as a Juri fan.

Stage one, you are 100% pro Juri and too emotionally close to the conflict, and thus it hurts when Shiori does anything. Wtf was Ruka's part of the story even about.

Stage two, you relate to Juri just a liiiitttle too much. And you become a Shiori apologist. Shiori may be mean but she's not THAT bad. I mean, Juri is pretty cold to her too. Surely there's a REASON Juri liked her in the first place. Also Ruka GET AWAY FROM THEM.

Stage three, you are now a fan of both Juri and Shiori but please please please stay away from each other til you've both got years worth of shit figured out. Shaking Juri by the shoulders- i get it, i understand, but GET OVER IT. Cheering loudly at the scene where the locket is cut off. Appreciating Ruka's narrative for shaking them out of their patterns (but still hating him so so much and laughing when he dies offscreen). Get therapy please girls. And then, if after lots of self reflection and improvement you still love each other, THEN... you should keep going to therapy but also add couple's therapy into the mix.

#xander's personal rambles #rgu #first watch through: 'shes just like me fr (ouch ouch ouch /pos)'#subsequent watch throughs 'shes just like me fr (/derogatory /affectionate)'#looked at her character flaws. went haha i do that.#then started throwing popcorn at the screen like 'boo we worked this out in therapy already! get over her!'#and while you're at it get over your awful self perception and recognize there's nothing wrong w/ you!#(well. there are many many things wrong with you. but not what you THINK is wrong with you. that part's fine)#this whole post can be summed up as:#stage 1. relate to juri DONT ship jiori #stage 2. relate to juri. ship jiori #stage 3. relate to juri. think both juri and shiori need to move on. still kinda ship jiori but dont think its the best outcome for them #(i think the best outcome for is they dont see eachother for a long time. both get different girlfriends. and then meet again.#and just. see each other. and acknowledge that they both made it through. and admit how much their relationship consumed both of them.#and then part on good terms again.)
