also i dont think feelings, emotions, or love diminish a character! but after all the growth she went through? she deserved more, AND i still see noelle as an incredibly well-written female character (and the best too) and the ending doesn’t take that away from her 🩵
so disappointed, with the depth tabata gave to noelle’s character, i expected an ending that matched that level of writing! but instead he simply concluded her arc by tying her emotionally only to asta, she went through the same events as asta, she deserved a truly great ending
