Vis has been reading the comic since well before I started, I do believe, and I've been reading the comic since 2004 or so. Your point?Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:09 am6 years now. Long enough to get annoyed about details like this.
And she just might. I have my reasons for cynicism -- my heart got trashed over thirty years ago, and I understand too well the truth of the quote from C.S. Lewis below. But I like to think I'm wiser now than I was in 1987 and '88 when I locked my heart away. Again, your point is ....?Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:09 amYeah I'm sure she'll help him "sort out his feelings".Fujii Yakumo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 5:07 pm1) I think Kimiko sees Piro as much more than a boy-toy. Does she want him for herself? Maybe, but the last we knew, she was trying (as I think Cidjen has noted) to help him sort out his feelings for Miho.
A sneer, based on precisely what, pray tell?Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:09 amI guess Piro's feelings never occurred to you, but they wouldn't, would they?Fujii Yakumo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 5:07 pm2) I think it can fairly be said that up until the last week or so (in Megatokyo time) that Miho was pretty self-centered, believing that (except for a few people who knew her secret) people in general saw her as merely a toy to use for their own purposes. Recent events have proven to her that there are people (chief among them, Piro) who see her as more than a "story", who see her as someone worthy of love in her own right. Is she going to have difficulty in relating properly to those people, occasionally making mistakes and mis-steps? Of course she will -- she's been in a prison of sorts for over a century (if we're to believe her back-story), and freedom is a hard thing to get used to.
After 57 years of walking around on the face of this tired old world, I think I have some ideas. Wrong ones, maybe, but I am not utterly bereft of them.Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:09 amThat's way oversimplified, and you honestly have no idea.Fujii Yakumo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 5:07 pmThere's a certain comfort in avoiding entanglements, in seeking to make one's heart unbreakable, the better to avoid having your heart broken yet again by other people, or by life generally. Give Miho some credit for turning away from that road, dude.“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

Probably, alas. Which is why Godwin brings it up -- he's a psychologist, and he at least tries to help people.....Okashinamaru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 10:09 amThat sounds nice on paper anyway. In reality people die over things like that.
