Misato and Electra Complex (NOT)

I think Misato’s problem cannot be summarized in having an Electra Complex (wanting to have sex with her father), it’s much deeper and complicated. Then what was her problem exactly?

I think she’s afraid she misjudged her father! When she started realizing that Kaji is similar to her father, way too many questions started popping up in her head: -Why did she hate her father in the first place? -Is it possible that she was wrong about her father and that he was actually a good person (like Kaji, if Kaji is considered to be good)? -Or is she simply in love with a bad man (if Kaji is bad, like her father)?

That’s why she ran away, she was too afraid to think about such questions and try to answer them. Then what about the “Electra Complex” thoughts?

These thoughts are indeed a disturbing and disgusting way of thinking about her problem, but more than anything, I think these thought are A PART of her running away, a part of the distraction and away for her to disgust herself from Kaji (which, by extension, disgusted herself of herself when she found herself still in love with him and yearning to be with him)

The question of “whether or not she wants to have sex with her father” fails to hit the core of the matter in any way, that’s why I consider it a distraction.

Yeah, it’s not an easy feat to question your thoughts and even convictions about a person you hated many years of your life, and a dead person at that...

Be a man and act with faith for the woman you love. It's really simple. If she's happy, I'm happy too. Right, I just want.... to see her smile. Since I always... make her angry

Why Kurisu didn't confess her feelings immediately

We know for a fact that she LOVES Okabe. But for multiple reasons she didn’t confess in words: 1- Being shocked and flustered when Okabe confessed.

2- Not wanting to complicate things for Okabe. Not wanting to cause him more pain. Not wanting to let things end in a bad way. These are her thoughts revealed by the 6th part of Steins;Gate Drama CD alpha - Babel of the Grieved Maze - Part 6.

3- Kurisu was still confused and contradicting herself: I want him to remember me, forget me, remember me. And so on…

Thanks to Faris and the tape she let her listen to, Kurisu doubt faded. And she decided to say the words and convey the feelings and embrace herself, her existence in this world and being a labmem. And gave him the prober Good Bye. Hoping that her feelings and her words will reach him her, and will reach herself in the future, in a world where neither die nor Mayuri dies to be found by Okabe in another worldline. It's so beautiful, so romantic, so emotional

Ugh 😂❤️😍 I have mixed feelings about the last chapter of Fairy Tail. I wanted at least a canonization of the couples. GaLe confirmed, GrUvia confirmed While NaLu and JeRza are almost Canon.

Araragi and Hanekawa ⛔️(Spoiler Alert from Nekomonogatari: Kuro & Shiro (Black & White) but 99% from Black))⛔️

I think Araragi did admire and love Hanekawa. But his feelings for her were strongly mixed with sexual desire. And while it’s ok to have interest in someone else, in Araragi’s case, his sexual desire was pretty strong (diluting his love!) Also, Araragi carried a huge debt for Hanekawa for saving him. It’s so big, important & heavy that he is ready to die for her. No, he WANTS to die for her sake.

I think when Tsukishi pointed out that Araragi is sexually frustrated, Araragi started to think about his feelings in another way and analyze them and concluded the type of his feelings for her. How much of it is sexual and how much is what we should call: Love.

The meddlecat incident made Araragi know more about Hanekawa. It showed her inner self. Something she hasn’t shown before to anyone. I think that shocked him. So, if we say that he was purely in love her, then he was in love with a part of her. In love with the surface of her true personality. Call it dishonesty or hypocrisy or don’t call it anything. It is what it is. Hanekawa wasn’t able to overcome her past. She didn’t bear the weight of her own problems and feelings (Although there is a reason for her not being able to convey her feelings but still she is to blame)

I think all this complexity wouldn’t have made their relationship -as lovers- healthy and successful. And thus, Araragi decided that he isn’t and won’t be in love with Hanekawa. Though he won’t deny or get rid of the feelings he felt towards her no matter what. The love he felt towards the good side of Hanekawa.

And he is thankful that he learnt from her how to feel for others.

“…Araragi Kyoumi fell out of love for the first time, even though he wasn’t in love. I climb those stairs”

(On the other hand, Senjougahara is someone who was able to overcome her past and bear the weight of her feelings and thoughts Also, she is very honest. Actually, too honest!!! She is the complete opposite of Hanekawa).

. . I have written what is above before watching Tsubasa Tiger. . After watching Tsubasa Tiger, I’m very happy for Hanekawa. She really has developed as a character. She became more of a human being. And I want to write an article about her in the future.

Gruvia: A bond stronger than family

When it comes to couples, I prefer chracters who develop. People who truly love, care, help, need and inspire each other. Almost always, at some point, couples find the point where they connect and understand each other (The Unison Raid). And there is a point when they are bond together even more strongly. And this is what I’m going to talk about. GrUvia in the Tartaros arc was just, BEAUTIFUL <3 . . Let’s begin with Juvia having a bad feeling about something. Gray thinks that she is feeling down because they are up against strong enemies but she denies by saying it’s something else. And so, Gray puts his hand on her embracing hands saying: “I’m here with you” It’s like he knew she was worried about him. . .

Later, This bad feeling became stronger. It became a sense of foreboding (She wonders if Gray is in trouble) Juvia confirms it’s the same feeling from before she felt before they even got here (Speculation: Juvia sensed Gray being in trouble before he actually became in trouble. I know this could be too much. But it’s just a thought that crossed my mind). . . If I remember correctly, the only time someone had such sense of foreboding is when Laxus heard Macarov when they were on Tenrou’s island. (Other similar feelings were showed like Erza hearing Jellal cheering her when he was in prison and she was in a fight) It was both their (Macarov & Laxus’s) Family-Family and Fairy Tail Family bonds. Yes, FT members consider all the other members their family. But it’s normal for some members to have a closer tie with each other than with the other members. Like Natsu’s team and Levy’s team. Juvia and Gray already had a strong bond, but it’s now something much stronger. A Family-Family bond. No,  A bond stronger than family. (the title :D)

. . After Juvia’s battle with Keyes and more importantly with herself, she defeats Keyes. She wants to defeat him for multiple reasons: -Because Silver (Gray’s father) asked her to (so he can be free and pass on) -To allow Keyes NOT to make humans his puppets. -For Gray’s interest. Juvia was put in a difficult situation where defeating an enemy hurts Gray, and not defeating him hurts him even more. At the end she did what Gray couldn’t do. Risking Gray hating her and it was all for Gray (Selflessness). . . .

Now, there is something more that bonds and connects Gray and Juvia: Silver (Gray’s father) and his will. Silver entrusted his will to Gray (to avenge his family, which was already something Gray wants to do). He passed his powers to Gray. He passed his will of defeating E.N.D. to Gray (which he will using his the powers) At the same time, Juvia defeated Keyes as Silver asked her to, And now carries Silver’s will of taking care of Gray. In short, Gray and Silver have a bond of Inherited wills (from Silver).

. . .

After defeating Keyes, Juvia cries, falls, Lucy catches her and Juvia says that she wants to see Gray. She wants to see because he is hurt. Because he needs her. Because she was asked to take care and look after Gray.

. .    

Juvia feels Guilt about what she did. We all know that she is an honest person. So, she confesses what she did to Gray. As she cries, she says that she realizes she doesn’t have the right to love Gray anymore Gray is a mess now. We say many emotions from him in a few panels and pages: Blank expression, shock, confusion, anger and sadness. He cries in her chest thanking her and apologizing three times. Putting his weight on her that he pulled her down to the ground. Why did he thank her? Why did he apologize? What does all that mean? He thanks her for doing what should have been done. What he couldn’t do. He apologizes for burdening her with his burden. The burden he couldn’t carry alone (I think Gray putting his weight on Juvia and them pulled to the ground is a symbol for burden) He opens himself like he never did before with anyone. He allows her to love him!

This time, it was Gray who needed Juvia.

Sometime after that, we see Gray saying that he will take down E.N.D. and next to him is Juvia saying yes. All what happened didn’t break GrUvia. It didn’t distance them. Instead, it brought them closer (Thanks to Juvia’s love selflessness, Gray’s understanding and Silver’s will they both inherited) And Juvia will be there to help them achieve what Gray wants. Achieve his father’s will. (Which -as I said before- is a bond they share).

If you read all the way to the E.N.D. 😂 of this article, I thank you. Make sure to follow the blog for more. Don’t forget to tell me your opinion 😂😉.

Makise Kurisu Cherishes Memories

I was discussing some points about Kurisu and I felt like a lightbulb has shined in my head. . I noticed how much Kurisu cherishes memories! It’s a big part of her character! . Starting from her career as NEUROSCIENTIST . Her search is about RETAINING MEMORIES (which she later succeeds in doing, leading to the upgrade of the PhoneWave (Subject Name to Change 😂) and the creation of the time leap machine. . She says the feelings are MEMORIES that transcend time. . In episode 22, all she asked from Okabe is for him to REMEMBER her and NOT FORGET her because not forgetting her means that she’s there. It was enough for her, to know that she lives on inside the person she loves by remembering her! It was enough for her even if it means that she is dead in the Beta worldline! . “ALL I ask is that you REMEMBER ME … because I’ll be there. I’ll always be there”. . ((Selflessness, Love, Faith & Trust)).

I love this romance which not only breaks the space barrier, but also TIME. 😍❤️.

“No matter which world line, what time, or where I am, I’ll always love you. I’ll say it one more time, I love you.” - Okabe from Steins;Gate

I encountered this essay/article about how realistic Makise Kurisu’s is!

Her self-confidence, her “girl” part including for example her Love for Okabe. And much more.

Proving that Christiiinaaa is a well written character of a confident genius girl.

I absolutely loved it.

I think it’s a good read.

I have just recently watched Boku no Hero Academia Season 2 Episode 9 And I really want to talk about Uchaco Uraraka :D and the development we saw in her character. (some IzuoCha too) (There is a TL;DR at the end but I recommend reading for details :D <3 ) Since the very beginning, Uchaco has been watching Midoriya. It’s clear that she admires him. Admiration is at its best when if affects you and changes you in a good way. Uchaco didn’t keep watch Midoriya without doing anything. She took a step (which was inspired to her by Ishida) to not depend on Midoriya forever. To make him a RIVAL. (Personally, I like sportsmanship, I like when Rivalry is mixed with Friendship). Her smile while giving Midoriya a thumbs-up and saying: “Let’s meet in the finals” shows us that she is worried and scared, but still she was moving forward.  In the match, we discover her plan. Which is to use her ability on Bakugo to make him making the match easier for her. What is interesting is her plan being the same as the piece of advice Midoriya was going to tell her! Can we say that watching Midoriya developed Uchaco’s way of thinking? We know the Midoriya is pretty smart (In fact, many characters in Boku no Hero Academia are. Even Bakugo who might look and/or act stupidly).

Even when her plan failed, Bakugo said: “Since you’re Deku’s friend, I expected that you would be planning something”. He later suspects that Midoriya is the one who told her about the plan but then Midoriya confirms it’s all hers! At the beginning of the match, we say that Uchaco also predicted/knew Bakugo’s counter-attack to her fast attack. The episode shows us the flash-back of Midoriya vs Bakugo during the tests and him explaining to Bakugo how he counter-attacks. As if the anime wants us to notice that Ochaco know this piece of information too (or because of Midoriya). I liked how she was thinking: “If it was Deku-kun, he wouldn’t give up” and “I will and become like Deku-kun”. She doesn’t forget about her goal of becoming a hero which is to help her parents financially. Yes, it’s her initial and most important goal, but it isn’t the only one! New goals were added. She is depressed for losing, but tries not to show that to Midoriya (But he notices that anyways) as if not wanting to depress him before his match. She tells him she would be watching him (and he was later shown sad for not being able to help and for her encouragement (although she is depressed) and cries) Uchaco cries, not because of the loss itself, but because she wants to help her family as quickly as possible. TL;DR: -Uchaco has always been watching Midoriya. -Uchaco admires Midoriya. -Watching Midoriya helped Uchaco develop as a character. -Midoriya isn’t just a subject of admirtation but -to Uchaco-, he devolps into a RIVAL (and will still watch him). -Uchaco wants to become like Midoriya. -Thinking about his “not-giving-up spirit” allows her not to give up too. -Uchaco cares so much about her family and friends (especially Midoriya).

My drawing of a fan art of Ishida Shouya from Koe no Katachi

#koe no katachi #silent voice #shape of voice #ishida shouya #fan art #drawing #shouko nishimiya

[animetheory]

The ending of Koe no Katachi is very beautiful in my opinion 😍❤️.

At first, Ishida talks about how his view of the future changed!

“It looks so decent and full of hope it could make you sick. The same way I used to hate Nishimiya” From the context, we understand that hating Nishimiya made him sick! Can we say that Loving her made him well? 🤔❤️.

After that, Ishida moves to talking about opening the door (which is a metaphor for facing the world, moving on with life etc…) He says: “I’m sure on the other side of the door.. my painful past is waiting for me. But that’s not the only things. There are also possibilities. And these are doors I can open any time as long as I’m alive”

He then asks Nishimiya if she is okay and she replies that she is nervous and he says: “Yeah, Actually, So am I”

So, they are both nervous! Could Nishimiya be thinking about the same thing Ishida was thinking? Opening the door and the meaning behind it! 🤔❤️.

Let's go back a little. If we said that Loving Nishimiya made Ishida well, Can we also say that she was sick and Loving Ishida made her well? ❤️😊 I think I can say yes because of: -Ending note of chapter 16: Shoya continues to FILL THE VOID in SHOKO's HEART and memories. That's the only thing he is striving for. -Ending note of chapter 51: Their five year reunion, the small talk during "Bread Duty," the weekly movie meetings.. Before the girl knew it, "Tuesdays" HAD GIVEN HER LIFE MEANING. Full of OVERWHELMING EMOTIONS, Where is she heading? Back to the ending scene,

What is interesting is Ishida GRABBING Nishimiya’s HAND and OPENING THE DOOR and PASSING through it TOGETHER!

What I mean is: -They both have painful pasts! -They both have a bright future! -They are both nervous. -They are opening the door 🚪 together. -They will face their Painful Past together. -They will experience the new possibilities of life together. -They will be together from now on!

The Story isn’t a romantic one (Although it has some romance in it)

The purpose of the story is making the reader learn about redemption, forgiveness, friendship, understanding one another! It’s not about -only- getting Nishimiya and Ishida to be together. It’s about much bigger things!

Still, Many hints were given here and there throughout the story to tell you that these two are meant to be together!

Add that to the ending and the meanings behind it

And you get a beautiful ending! So much better than if they only made them kiss for example at the end of the story 😊.

Although I’m like 99999999% they will be together from now on!

Tell me what do you think 😊 I think I’m gonna write about them more 😁. I want to write more things and don't want this to get long and become boring for people to read What do you want me to write about?

Thanks for reading ❤️😍🌚.

The moon is beautiful = I love you

“Ishida misunderstands (suki) "like" to (tsuki) "moon" as Shouko confessed to him and he replied "the moon is beautfiul". Natsumi Soseki, the most acclaimed novelist in Japan once taught to his student that the english translation of "I love you" is "The moon is so beautiful". Coincidental to Ishida's reply to Shouko, it seems like he answered back to Shouko's feelings for him”
