Npd culture is trying to explain to people that there are what I call “active” and “passive” supplies. Active supplies are things that only give me supply when I used them (ex. “I look so pretty in this shirt everyone’s gonna think I’m beautiful”, or “this person compliments me whenever I talk to them it makes me feel good” or “being able to show off in this class because I know the subject well makes me look better”, etc.). Passive supplies are supplies that are always there subconsciously (ex. “I have such pretty eyes they make me look better” or “I can speak this not well spoken language which makes me special) etc.)
And I do all that explaining only for egotypicals to just tell me I’m big headed

for some reason marlow rlly reminds me of the only a lad album cover. i think its the pose or smth. whatever it is, it urged me to badly edit him over it, so heres that.
AAAAAA OH MY GOSH!!! This is SOOO cute!!!! You edited him in so perfectly, even with his monochrome colors! I love how his bug glasses look at a distance I’m LIVING!
I’m actually not really familiar with Danny Elfman.’s stuff besides his film composing, so I’ll have to give it a listen! I know folks really like this one in particular. You’re absolutely right tho, it’s a very fitting Marlow pose hehe. Thank you so much for the gift!!

Am fascinated and do love Tarou's response being "You *might* be right." Even with his pathological honesty he doesn't discount the danger that excessive greed has but neither does he make it an absolute. For sure Tarou would never take dealing with Hitosuki as far as the Nouto do.
Hahahahahahaha :]].
I mean, I think both Momoi and Sonoi are very logical people. Momoi might not *get** why humans act in certain ways, but I'm sure he's seen how people can get so obsessed with one thing. And how easily they can hurt others for/because of said thing.
So, yeah.
"You might be right." is,,,,,, correct
I don't think it has anything really to do with personal bias/opinion or honesty. Because "Excessive greed could cause the end of the world" is a fact.
It's the reason why Utopias cannot exist.
Humans are inherently selfish. And they're also cowards. A real toxic combination.
I remember in my senior year of high school, during one of my college classes on International Politics, our teacher told us that although we can simulate what *should* happen. (Government wise.) That humans were not rational, logical people. They're swayed by emotions and because of it a simulation can only just be that -- a simulation.
Near finals, so we could take it easy, this same teacher had us paired in groups, and we were given a rando fictional country with rando resources. And then each day we could choose to either: put the country's resources into $$$ -- so prosperity for the citizens, or in the military, just in case another country wanted to attack us for our resources. And its a hard balance.
One country only put their resources into the economy, prosperity, and since they didn't have a big army there was this threat of invasion. So the leaders of that country went around making alliances/treaties. So that if war happened, they could rely on an ally's military, in exchange for providing that ally with a resource the country had that the ally needed. (Like fish or oil for example.)
Each day every country also got 2 secret objectives. One day, our country got the objective to go to the front and announce that we now had nukes.
We did.
In the span of 5 minutes every single one of the other countries were announcing they had nukes. As if our country doing that was an active threat to their country lmao rip.
Anyways as tensions continue to boil and alliances were made, one country that wanted $$$$ attacked the country without the army. Our country (were in the alliance with the prosperous country) so we stepped up to provide support, as did a bunch of other countries.
Seeing this, the "allies" for the country that declared the war backed out of the alliance LOL. Meaning the country that waged war was gonna get majorly screwed over. So the leader of that country was like "Well if I"M going down wE ALL ARE" and launched his nukes, which prompted everyone ELSE to launch THEIR nukes, and basically because of nuclear fallout, our class caused the entire end of the fictional world we were given.
( L O L) Our teacher was furious with us. Said that in all of his years teaching the class, this had NEVER happened before.
Anyways, I brought this up to make a point. And the point is, excessive greed *can* end the world. That possibility is a fact. All it takes is greed.
So Tarou saying "that might be true" is, well, the logical response to an illogical world. However, Momoi really loves people. He wants to make them happy. He wants to help. He wants to bring joy to others.
His desires are not selfish. Because his compassion for others is his primary motivation.
Sonoi's main motivation (at least when it comes to interacting with humans) is to protect the Nouto's realm from shattering because a human got too obsessed, and too greedy. Therefore, already it puts him at odds with humanity.
Their greed could kill him and his world (as well as the humans). So wiping out someone who fell to their greed is the most logical option. If they fell to greed once, whose to say if given another chance they won't just fall to their own greed once again?
Momoi choosing to take that chance of mutual destruction just on the unlikely chance the person he helped will change is,,,, wildly illogical and also where he and Sonoi differ.

hey. no need to reply to this, i just wanted to let you know that i didn’t mean to imply that you were a bad person, and i’m sorry i didn’t make that clear. i just think someone who cares so much about being a good person may actually be a good person, even if it’s not instinctive.
don't worry, you didn't imply that. i was just saying, i didn't mean it in a self-deprecating way, i meant it in a self-aware reflection way.
i don't mean i'm not good, i mean i'm not nice. there's a difference. i can be very blunt and mean, but i don't think that makes me a bad person. i think it takes more than that to be a "bad" person. i think bad people have bad and selfish intentions. i think they do mean things as well as say mean things, with intent to harm.

People who experience romantic and/or sexual attraction are so funny sometimes
They will ask "who's your crush?" And you will answer "i don't have one" and then it starts
"Why are you liying?", "you can trust me", "don't hide", "i don't belive you", "what?! Everyone has one come on", "hmhu it's [name] isn't it?".
in the extreme cases (mine once) they won't let you even leave the conversation and place it started
And so you lie
And when if "confession" comes from "name" and you reject it every single persson who made you lie will be angry.
Honey. Why the fuck are you angry? You decided a lie is more realistic than reality
