Very minor point of order, he did not say she was like a lover. While you can read the "is like" to refer to all three of her roles in English as it comes at the start of the sentence ("She is like a mother, a sweetheart, and an ally in battle" is the specific English phrasing, I believe) the grammar of the Japanese is slightly different, in that it's three short sentence fragments, each with a declarative "aru" at the end, and of these, only mother has the "like" modifier applied to it. She's like a mother. She is a lover/ beloved. She is an ally in battle.
This is a small thing, but it's an important one, fuckdammit. Same as how reading 'sweetheart' as 'nice person' is not a correct interpretation of the sentence based on the meaning of Koibito, so to is saying she's 'like' a lover incorrect.
This is why you're Admiral.
Stars are absolutely a C/T thing and like all C/T things, must be co-opted for the cause.
I hate how right you are about this. Let's all remember that Cloti stands up on its own, while Clerith needs to lean on Cloti like it had a few too many at 7th Heaven.
So powerful, she even rewrites the standard rules of canonicity.
That's
Erza Materia Jesus for ya!
Like, it's dumber than the monkey pairings, and that's saying something.
Well, the monkey pairings have a certain feel to them. There are game franchises and companies I could see using monkey pairings to reference a canon ship, tease a popular but unresolved ship, or troll fans of a sunken ship. I could see it, easily... just not from this company in this franchise
Different sort of Owe. He owes them for 'services rendered' absolutely. I was referring to 'for personal grievance' owing. Even then, it's a close thing.
The heavier debt still feels like it's owed to Denzel to me, but it is indeed a close thing.
Reeve should be paying for him and Marlene to go to college wherever they choose. if not more.
Huh, maybe Marlene and Denzel will be the ones to develop green energy.
Yeah, there's a schadenfeude, but there's also lots of pity.
Having pity alongside schadenfreude is what keeps us from being 100% dicks right?
There's so much fucked up shit re: that I don't even know where to start.
Indeed, spoiled for choice is what we are.
Enjoy it, you black Scottish cyclops.
If only Demo wasn't my worst class. Especially after they nerfed the Scottish resistance... although I'm told they buffed it, nerfed it twice, and buffed it again since so wtfk at this point.
Now you've got me thinking of ShinRa as a toy company subsidiary.
Rufus gotta keep profits up after the OG somehow. Also who makes Queen's Blood cards?
Always a terrible curse, that.
Self fulfilling, as is right and proper.
It's a mess worth making, however.
And always read the fine print.
Don't be Black Mage, take your time. With a magnifying glass. And a contract lawyer.
Along with special pleading, cherry picking, ignoring evidence, outright lying, fabricating evidence.... I could go on.
The old LTD was pretty much a course on dishonest debate tactics.
Other people so stupid as to boggles the fucking mind.
Think how stupid the average person is, then take a moment to realize that half of 'em are even stupider than that.
Trust me, I knew exactly what I was setting up for when I wrote that.
But if course. One of my favorite OG moments will always be everyone telling a different train analogy in unison.
