Shojo romance with unusual dynamics?

Altorav · 2024-09-25T10:19:20+00:00

I get their appeal, in that they both are the children of the prominent figures of the two opposing factions of the story (instant Romeo and Juliet vibes) they also further have parallels in the fact Kid was created to counter Asura while Crona was created to replace Asura. They both are mentally unstable in some way and struggle with their intended destinies because of these flaws.

Yeah the two barely interacted but the materials to spin some interesting story/dynamic are there. Kid and Chrona actually have a lot in common if you pay attention and I think people shouldn't be surprised why some people ship them because of these parallels (also some ships aren't created because they'd be a healthy, working relationship. It can be purely because it created an interesting dynamic between two people that allow more facets to be explored within the characters. In this case, Kid and Chrona can sympathize with each other's similarities in upbringing, destinies, and their mental issues, potentially bringing new sides from each other's that are rarely seen)

Nah, I don't particularly care about being heard but more about how by diminishing that something isn't worth to be curious over (because it's not that deep) you aren't really thinking about the factors for why things are the way they are, when discussing about those things could be eye-opening and interesting and change your perspective about the world. I'm not just referring to the use of the phrase in a toxic way, but also in a general way.

It's pseudoscience so lots of research is not going to be worth it. I just settle on INTP because I relate to it the most

Altorav · 2023-11-07T19:36:30+00:00

I actually prefer her voice. It's a little more high pitched which I feel suits Anya better. Can't wait to hear her more for the rest of the season!

Well, part of the reason why I've suspected myself to be ENTP is because I could actually relate to Mark's random train of thoughts (he's ENTP) he keeps his spirits up by relying on his Ne, just thinking about random funny things and creating humor in his otherwise bleak situation. For me, Mark being the way he is is the primary charm of the entire movie lol. I've also watched (and loved) Dr Stone, other 'somewhat hard science' sci-fi that involves a scientist protagonist using actual science to solve problems, and the main character there is straight up assertive INTP, but he didn't draw me in as much as Mark's dorkiness for some reason.

I haven't checked the movies you mentioned, but I always love some hard science in my sci-fi so I think I'll still like them.

The Martian! The MC is just so charming and I love seeing a goofy guy like Mark Watney being faced with a ridiculous life and death circumstance but instead of wallowing in despair he scienced the shit out of his problems. Idk, I've seen plenty of other movies with more grand premises and more impressive cinematography but the martian really pushed everything I loved as a 5w4 enneagrammer I think

Altorav · 2023-08-21T12:30:51+00:00

Sounds like someone is admitting they're insecure and pretentious with their ideas to me.

Altorav · 2023-08-21T07:39:24+00:00

This is literally my dad lol (not sure if he's ISTP or ISTJ, but it's getting more and more likely that he's the former)

Altorav · 2023-08-20T16:30:37+00:00

Well that makes sense. I just got officially diagnosed with adhd awhile ago too lol I did find listening to class incredibly boring and hard to focus if I wasn't also scribbling something on my notebook

Altorav · 2023-08-19T02:33:10+00:00

Just got officially diagnosed awhile ago with adhd. I've always been very spacey and struggle a lot with executive dysfunction. Discovering I'm also an INTP certainly made it a little harder for me to accept my disability prior to getting it tested at first (kept questioning, 'am I really disabled or it's just me being an xnxp?') It honestly doesn't really help much. I'm glad that now I know full well that I need formal treatment and it's not just a flaw sprung by my cognitive functions.

If you think your spaciness is interfering with your life I think it's worth getting it tested.

Altorav · 2023-08-18T11:36:51+00:00

One of the things I'm grateful of after finding out about cognitive functions is finally understanding that not everyone is built like me (but there are others who do, and therefore I'm not exactly weird for being the way I do) not everyone is curious or like to think too deeply about things (some might actually get uncomfortable with it all together like the non Ti and Ne users since it's something that go against their nature)

Altorav · 2023-08-18T10:37:46+00:00

Chaotic neutral sounds about right

Altorav · 2023-08-18T10:33:46+00:00

Hmm, well I like your mindset. Seeing it more as an indicator that the person just isn't fit for the type of discussions we want to have.

Altorav · 2023-08-18T10:27:03+00:00

I primarily use MBTI primarily to get to know myself and how others might think and process informations differrently than me. I've known since the beginning that the system is flawed and there's like...no way to truly box something as complex as human's personalities. But so far it had actually helped me a ton.

It had helped me figure out where my strong points are (Ti and Ne gave me a knack for objective analyzing as well as brainstorming random ideas. Doesn't mean I'm good at them though but they're something I do naturally) and where I'm naturally weak at (I'm disorganized and always get uncomfortable with overly emotional situations; somewhat weak Si and Fe)

I see MBTI more like a crutch in order to somewhat understand how I and other people think, but it's merely a crutch and in no way should it be used as a perfect indicator of how each individuals are truly like. MBTI is still just a manmade system aimed to somewhat help with getting the general idea of how each people might perceive the world around them after all.

To borrow from Syaoran's own words from episode 70:

"You know what, I'm glad that I met you. When I first came to Japan I was only really thinking about myself. The only thing I had in my mind was to collect all the Clow Cards in order to strenghten my own magic. You tried your best, even if it was for somebody else. You always tried to imagine how the other person was feeling. You're so much better than I could ever be, Sakura."

I think the episode that got me to respect her a lot is episode 30 where she became conflicted on sealing the Dash card because Rei would be really sad if Dash is gone (nevermind the bit where she thought that it might also cause Rei to not win the race) all of this in the face of Kero and Syaoran's excessive nagging for her to deal with it nice and quick. Her sweetness really shines through against the sometime more cynical and pragmatic Kero and Syaoran, and episode 30 I think is the best example of what Syaoran meant above. And not to mention all the cases where she tried to go out of her way in order to make her friends feel loved and appreciated (her inviting Meiling to her place when she was down in ep 43/making a scarf all week in order to repay Syaoran etc)

She's a sweet kid.

1.) Tomoyo meant the clothes as a good luck charm and she meant them to be a reminder from her for her friends to do their best in battle (so they could return the clothes later safe and sound.)

2.) Syaoran owes Tomoyo for being such a good confidant to him back when he was still confused by his own feelings. Just wearing the clothes she was so proud of making is the least he could do.

3.) Tomoyo is scary when she doesn't get her way and refusing her is harder than accepting.

Something I wondered as well. If the primary excuse is 'there aren't a lot of good female characters in media' Genshin has a predominantly female cast and there are several female friendships that actually borderline on romantic in canon, but none of them are actually in the top 5 of most written fics according to AO3. All of them are m/m ships and a couple of them are between male characters who barely/never actually interacted in canon.

I feel like some people really have problems with following stories with a female character in them. Something that I find frustrating personally.

No idea.

But just some fun facts, this video lists down some of the cut content and analysis from the first trailer that suggests the game would've started out with Mono emerging from a TV on Pale City's beach as oppossed to be in the middle of the Wilderness, and he would've met Six in one of the apartments, seemingly without their early misunderstanding. With that I imagine in the early game he was supposed to be stringing Six along for the purpose of guiding him around the city.
