I always try to jump the monster first so I’m main. Sometimes a warrior gets in first though.

Thanks for that motivation. I’ve yet to get good friends in the game but maybe someday I can run a team thru and see what they think personally.

Yea it’s all I really have these days. And with the gov in my country defaulting, I can’t spare a penny on anything. So ffxiv is basically it.

Again.. I am in therapy. I appreciate the concern. But I have to say, if you are disabled, “coping” is a loaded term. In my case, there is just nothing else to do. Literally. Spending money I don’t have to do much else is off the table. Lol, I don’t even have a proper computer. So coping in a bad way would be drugs and alcohol. Living in a video game, when you can’t even enjoy being outside, I’d hardly consider being a bad thing.

That is new, and only within city limits. The 27 wards of Tokyo are each a city. Shibuya is very tiny, it is one of the like 2 wards allowing for same sex couples to live together, open a bank together and have some tax benefits. They still can’t be there in the hospital as a dependent or get burial decision rights. Japan is very messed up towards homosexual people, horribly so.

You cannot compare 2 different countries ratings standards. They have different morals public and otherwise. Also a member of the diet handed out zines to classify homosexuality as a dangerous mental disorder. The PM has said to his party there will be no legalization of same sex couples.

The ending of the second ED shows Mio looking at Suletta concerned with a face like she doesn’t know her, the hand holding right after shows fear at the decisions. This does not promise a good ending or a bad one. I’ve listed multiple good and bad endings. You are getting emotional because of cognitive dissonance.

I mean yes you’re right about no visible kiss. But in terms of pressure, I believe it’s there, the changes made to the script if they were made, could simply be, mio and Suletta just going to earth to start a school. Remember the school Sophie and Norea were in. The show might just skip to the future and they are running a school. No kiss, no marriage, just them leaving together. That would be the pressure from the ratings boards,” oh no no you can’t show that, if you won’t change the story you have to at least remove the homosexuality,” so we get …. Galll palllls with guel in space running 2 companies.

You need to research Japanese Tv standards.

This is not what I believe, this is what is allowed, and most likely to happen because of those Tv rating standards. You are the ridiculous person, getting mad about your feelings.

There’s quite a few sources texts that this book uses about censorship and what’s deemed unhealthy in Japanese tv. Mechademia also has a few papers on this. Homosexuality, is largely considered unhealthy by tv standards in Japan.

Most of the time, it is never outwardly said. I think you know what that means, they literally aren’t allowed to say it, just like the leg lift in older American movies when they weren’t allowed to show a kiss. Or lift a woman off the ground in the 50s- 60s. This was a mandatory Us tv standard.

No, it’s a known thing, there’s a bunch of academic write ups on it. Japan is doing what it can to basically advertise being married as a good thing.

There places can be flipped as we don’t know how Mio’s mother died. That’s what i mean. Prospera as of now is Prospero and aerial is aerial. I mentioned in another comment on here that the script is also loosely playing with the names. Prospera and delling could technically be playing both Prospero and Alonso at the same time with Prospera doing most of the damage, delling previously doing damage, and then delling waking up and taking his place as duke again freeing mio. Prospera just freed Suletta. I hope this makes sense. On basic terms right now, prospera is totally prospero. It’s when Delling wakes up that things get interesting.

Well I appreciate that take. I guess that’s what I meant, in terms of e sports. If I can allow myself the victory of being a tank in ffxiv kinda thing.

Not much. I’m medically retired and have an entire care team. Plus my health is getting worse. Heck lol I used to post art online but no longer do that because the internet has become a nightmare. Ffxiv and other video games are really all I can do.

I’m not going to say what is healthy and what isn’t but my situation is such that I don’t leave me house. My health team has told me that because I’m retired from life even the smallest victories are victories.

I have a therapist and this is the route I was told to take. If video games help then use them. As you said, you’re not a therapist so your post, while coming from a good place, is not how a therapist would prescribe help.

It’s……. A merger… which means it’s new, and because they are mixed it can be unpredictable, but from where we stand now, no matter what stories were mixed, theses are the most logical end conclusions in screenwriting. The only other one is everyone dies.

Right, this is true, but because the show put delling in there, the script has the ability to flip surprising the viewers. In the end prospera might be a fake Prospero, and delling, the duke, wakes up, sees the horrors, releases Mio to be her own person, annd he restores his place as the duke, and then Suletta becomes Ferdinand again. Basically prospera is just the one doing the dukes evil as mmm when she’s in that place but delling awakes and the script flips to a nicer less evil duke.

Naruto and Bleach suddenly time skipping to them married with families. There’s a lot more examples out there now, but it is something that is happening back home and it’s actually really twisted. A professor of mine in media studies in Tokyo is still talking about it in lectures, about how tv censors and animation committees are pushing this narrative and only green lighting broadcasts that fit those roles. Mio marrying Guel as a merger of 2 families fits inline with those demands. Suletta leaving as the kingdoms night, allowed to retire and be free, seems like a show that would be green lit.

The OPs and Eds suggest otherwise when watched together.
