is "love will be the reason you are destroyed" / "love will be the reason you live" the main theme motif of the story
hmmmm........i think so, to both!!! at the same time!!! i think its less one or the other, but the power/consequences of love is definitely highlighted a lot...and sometimes it has its strengths (the dedication, perseverance, forgiveness, and loyalty that comes as a consequence), but also eventually will show the downsides (unwillingness to destroy that which you love, making bad/unthinkable/unforgiveable decisions to save someone you love, that kind of thing)
i dont think its eventually what saves them all in the end, i think its moreso like a wrench thrown into the works that mochi and the rest have to work around it/deal with the consequences in turn
#the fact that we see mochi lowkey turn into amanita to save lime at one point is horrifying#they spend the whole first arc like (cant let amanita have magic because shes going to use forbidden magic)#and then mochi uses forbidden magic when the stakes are high enough#and also the thing about the stars not destroying the witch king because they loved him too much#and thus wreaked thousands of years of consequences + throwing it into mochis court to deal with#but at the same time love makes it all worth it#i guess its more like (love will be the reason you destroy) rather than (be destroyed)#i think the only character so far who thinks along the vein of (love is weakness) is amanita#most everyone else recognizes it almost as a force you dont fuck with as a witch#its actually quite feared in the magic community#it has the potential to make you do awful things#no one wants to love/fall in love because then you have a very exploitable weakness
