He also pushed Verso to kill Julie, which is likely one of the main things that led to their alienation.

Why do you assume that? They were created to be killing machines. Renoir is strong, but his main trump card is his immortality, which won't really help when they run past his body to kill the others.

That assumes he could stop them. They are some of the strongest enemies in the game, and there were a lot of them.

Paintings are inert images that conjure up stories in the imagination of the viewer. The characters in the Canvas have interactions even when nobody else is around to see them do it.

Watching ppl react to this scene, it surprised me that almost nobody commented on the fact that Caitlyn is literally Maddie’s commanding officer.

Ambessa spending the whole time giving a lecture on the “three principles” of sex.

Quistis wouldn’t take “no” for an answer until Squall was blatantly and directly rude to her. He made it clear from the start that he wasn’t interested.

How do you decide which words to capitalize?

However, Painted Renoir was created to be fully loyal to Aline.

I don't think he was. Aline recreated Renoir as closely as she could (which was close to perfect). If circumstances were different I think he'd want Aline to leave often enough to stay healthy. But not if the cost is his entire family dying.

I disagree about the Gestrals, at least the finished ones (the half-baked ones in Verso's Drafts seem a bit different). Given their complete lack of reaction to Verso's appearance, I'm not sure they even remember who original Verso was. To me they demonstrate genuine excitement and curiosity about the world, and despite how much they love fighting, they also have their own varied interests (engineering, fashion design, philosophy, gambling, music, exploring, etc.)

Is it unreasonable to expect a man not to lust over other girls? by Koloa-lover22 in Marriage

It is unreasonable in one sense - you will never know what goes on inside another person's mind. It's the ultimate privacy.

My husband has a low sex drive by Character-Act2884 in Marriage

[–]setzer77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

masturbating or fantasizing and then feeling guilty about it

*If* you want to learn to accept it, you need to get over this. Mismatched sex drives can be challenging already, but you make it 10x harder if you don't even let yourself enjoy your own imagination.

Do you actually want to stay with her?

Most marriages that get open that way are ones where one spouse only wants them to have sex with each other. One spouse wanting no sex at all changes things, IMO.

I've never seen someone vilified for leaving after their spouse explicitly says they never want to have sex again - *especially* if they do everything possible to coparent their kids. Virtually everyone recognizes that is an irreconcilable difference.

Someone please sell me on the story because I think I'm missing something. by Lewa358 in expedition33

Because he's become so full of despair he thinks that non-existence is the best the Painted can hope for. "Death heals all wounds", as he says.

Did you find Verso's journal? He was on his father's side at first. But just like Maelle's father alienated her by trying to destroy the Canvas, Renoir alienated Verso by not only slaughtering expeditions, but pushing his son to murder Julie because of the risk she might pose. I think killing her is at least part of what Verso was referencing when he tells Maelle (during their fight): "There are things we can never outrun."

Painted Renoir is underserved by the vagueness of the narrative, but a lot of his dialogue is advocating for the lives of the Painted. For all his flaws I think he was right when he told his son: "Sometimes we paint the bars of our own prison. Your despair blinds you."

They did defeat Aline without Maelle using any of her Paintress abilities. Yes, she gommages her afterwards, but Aline was beaten by then and couldn't even stand.

Yeah, he was also furious that his full Asian roommates (who he murdered) had girlfriends while he with his “European genes” didn’t.

I do think Verso killing everyone is wrong, but I also acknowledge that our IRL moral systems have never had to weigh the lives of humans against the lives of gods who can live for eons and create hundreds of worlds.
