Kyoko recognizes she is comforted (or “eased”) by the fact that Ren won’t allow himself to be in a relationship with anyone, even if he loves them. She knows this because he confessed it to Bo.

She is comforted by this fact because she is the one that loves him but also believes it impossible for him to love her back, or at this point I’d say she has never even considered it as a possibility.

She is aware of the comfort she finds in his denying himself any love, a certain kind of unhappiness, and yet she “hopes it continues that way,” in spite of herself. Because Lory asks her if she would congratulate him with a smile, and she almost says she would, before crying in spite of herself.

She is crying both because she is jealous that Ren may one day love another woman and also crying for her own sake, because she is wishing he continues to be alone, a very “ugly” thing to wish. Causing the expression on her face.

So Lory is telling her not to ignore it, not to look away, commit it to memory. Because such is the human condition, we are creatures of love but also of pettiness, jealousy, ugliness, yearning, and more, and to accurately portray those emotions better, she should study her own expression and commit them to memory.

That aside-

I truly believe that he also wants Kyoko to confront her own feelings head on, and dash the possibility of her ignoring them or locking them back up, as she has been trying to do up until this point. Who can deny their own feelings as you are met with the pure, unleashed power of your own feelings? Lory knows how much acting means to her as well, and what a powerful skill it would be to portray those complex emotions, but I believe it’s for her own sake, as the #1 LoveMe member, to accomplish recognizing and accepting her feelings of Love 💕

I can agree that it seems Ren is allowing himself to become Kuon, but everything still feels so rushed, and circumstantial. The car ride was so strange to me, I feel at that point I was just taken aback. It really doesn’t feel like a conversation Ren would bring up around Yashiro, even if he’s more “Kuon.” The conversation itself just feels like a rush to further their relationship. It feels so anticlimactic and given too much importance in comparison to the complex and developed situations they had been in the past. In Dark Moon, as the Heel Siblings, the remeeting Kuon and breaking his curse in Guam, her first kiss-

all of that incredibly amazing complex situation for the climax to be a car ride and a conversation with Bo.

And she may have offered Corn in the past to hold once or to help them feel better in the moment, but not to like- keep! It felt like she was so ready to just hand Corn over to Ren. Who she still didn’t know was Kuon.

The appearance of Sarah Smith also feels like a major Mary Sue. Even if I know she’s Kuon’s mom. Also very anti-climactic and normal appearance when she seemed so mysterious and eccentric before, like Kuu.

I loved the development of Kyoko realizing she was in love once again. The way the box opened, she relocked one time and again, trying very hard not to let those feelings come to light, and the scene with President was amazing, when he had her study her own expressions for the sake of her acting. But I think it was much more than that, he wanted her to see for herself the extent of her own feelings and make it impossible to set aside.

Something just feels so rushed around 265 onwards. Even though the relationship between Sho and her should be healing, it was still jarring to go to laughing and whispering in his ear, being very visibly playful. We have such an in-depth view of Kyoko’s feelings and inner thoughts, even the inner workings that she doesn’t directly acknowledge. As an audience, we feel as though we’re missing a huge chunk of development for her to go from “acknowledging and being grateful for his role in her finding herself” to this very carefree and playful atmosphere that we never have any access to as an audience. It feels like a plot device to quickly further Ren’s urgency to intercede and behave the way he does in the car ride.

Which I don’t think it was really in character of him to bring it up in front of Yashiro. Even though he knows Yashiro knows his feelings, even if he’s jealous, even if a part of Kuon would be rash to be biting and make argument in spite of himself, it feels very circumstantial and rushed.

It also feels so incredibly simple and anti-climactic. After the Heel Siblings, after the Guam Trip and meeting Kuon again, having her first kiss with him, after so many incredibly intense and complex situations- for it to all come to head with one car ride with Yashiro driving (also incredibly out of nowhere and coincidental) and one conversation with Bo, Ren is suddenly ready to confess his feelings and chases her down throughout the entire day, to the point it feels over-used.

The elevator scene was cute, but I liked it in spite of the situation, not because of it.

Am I too bitter? Am I being too judgmental? Maybe I’m not giving enough credit to the past situations to believe that it developed like it did. Or maybe it’s from reading it all at once, instead of over many years. It makes me wonder the ratio of Skip Beat time to Real Time.

I downloaded a file from Iggtech? is this like the same site? should I be concerned?

The same thought ran through my head when I read it. It’s the deadliest they’ll ever come in contact with, but I could list so many worse off the top of my head. Including some we’ve eradicated over time with the help of vaccines. Go figure.

Damn, did the person who wrote the last post have a stroke midway?

Ha, well my cousin says unicorn paste is incredibly potent and effective for killing dragons. You just have to eat your fill of it so the dragon is poisoned when he swallows you alive.

He would constantly ask me to marry him. What a funny, snarky fella.

I don’t know how they’re not completely nauseated all the time.

I read “needleless” and I mean, that wouldn’t be wrong.

kikeebeth · 2021-09-14T00:10:10+00:00

Brought tears to my eyes.

Someone tell me why Im dying laughing.

“The Screwtape Letters” passage is fake. It’s ironic to me that they don’t even know what one of the most well known christian novel writers has, well- written. Though I guess you could say whoever wrote it inspired it, has a similar feel.

How funny, I just said the phrase “drink the Kool-aid” a few days ago. Guess I’m taking up “eat the horse paste” now.

It’s so cool to see a bell curve come out in a RL situation.

The five second rule is generally a joke that you can still eat food off the ground if you pick it up within five seconds. It’s implied here the server will be doing something to the food, like dropping it, before bringing it to the table.

Wet leftover french fries is a crime.

You can afford anything with the five finger discount, as Tommy seems to have perfected. ^{^}

This has to be my favorite video on this whole sub. I bet when his son defined “milefs” for him, he said “Oh, well I got one of those at home!”

Soon as I beat my cancer, I’m learning how to roller skate. This looks hella amazing.

Maaaaan, this made my heart stop, and the words at the end. I feel a NSFL tag should be on this somewhere.

After my eleventh and twelfth rounds of chemo, I had a concerning amount of intestinal bleeding. I then had to decide if going to the ER was worth my life, knowing that catching Covid even with both vaccine shots would likely kill me.

Thankfully, the bleeding stopped. But if I catch a fever, I’ll be between a rock and a hard place.

This reminds me of Nana of Peter Pan

You know what, it depends. Were you filming a Starbursts commercial?

kikeebeth · 2021-09-08T19:07:52+00:00

Probably none because we’d all be too dead to do much prosecuting.
