@cwazy_storage@TheWrongTime008@ToxicWeave She likes him because he reminds her of her first love, her dad.
This is tropey romance writing except with incest
It’s not an undertone, it’s textual intention.
I’m just correcting you
@LeleBestScarfer I would say out of the 4, Cai and Theodora’s feel most pertinent to the main story they want to focus on. Leda and Dietrich are quite disconnected
@Zeebor15@mdtironmonger The Elites all had drastically increased lifespans.
Ursula is very closely related to one of the original Elites so that their lifespan extension is partially transferred over.
The blood is already too diluted by the time it gets to Marianne.
@karmaopg7 Tons. You’ll see more in her route.
If you go on the Danbooru art page for Cai or Theodora and you’ll see plenty of ship art art between the both of them
@mothmartyr In Japanese, she is explicit that she wants a younger man than herself. The only younger man she interacted with and just interacted with is Cai
Also Theodora’s route hints that the writers want Cai/Theodora together.
It doesn’t help that Tialla notices Theodora’s interest
@jteebats23@renaissanc28348@ToxicWeave Ultand is an optional crush. Theodora’s thing is a canon crush which would make her worse but people are choosing to ignore it because they like Theodora too much
@jteebats23@ToxicWeave Because people need to stop being delusional. I’d rather people criticize the writing rather than pretending it doesn’t exist
The Dub is toning it down but she is indeed crushing on Cai made more explicit in Japanese. That’s the original intention of the writing. He won her over
@jajaregal@ToxicWeave She is literally twirling and clasping her hands together and blushing when she asks Bonaventure about marrying Cai implicitly(in Japanese, she explicitly asks about marrying a younger man than herself which is the scene after Cai saves her)
@123swong@GoddessChiVice@ToxicWeave In Japanese, she says “a younger man than her” so it is meant to be Cai. The dub just tried to tone it down. She just plain has a canon crush on Cai
@ToxicWeave In Japanese, she says “a younger man than her” so it is meant to be Cai. The dub just tried to tone it down.
One of her final scenes in her route makes it clearer she has a crush on Cai.
