@ohlimleian I feel like a lot of fandoms nowadays are incapable of having conversation with nuance and respectful disagreements. Everything has to be black and white nowadays
#wb218 my take on kotoha being the one to explain sakura's POV and not nirei is because nirei, despite being bullied, grew up loved & well-adjusted. a lot of the sadder aspects of sakura's personality are canonically blind spots for nirei because he's never dealt with them before
i really don't believe that nirei is being sidelined... if anything, i think the current focus on sakura is intentional bc niisato is establishing the emotional impact radius of suo’s disappearance. and skr becoming the center of this ch. makes narrative sense bc-
@hayatfo It’s actually sadly realistic to see them belittle their own pain because I’ve seen countless teenagers do that irl. Man these guys are just KIDS 😭
