Yo my friends are like hachi, what the fuck can i do to stop them from turning out like her
It's honestly annoying as shit and hachi is a character I can't stand but I love my friends and seeing parallels just scares me.
Wish I could beat it out of them, but since I can't, how do I lovingly get male attention obsessed girls who fall in love at the drop of a hat to focus on themselves and what's best for them and to stop making sacrifices for no reason, ESPECIALLY for a cheating bastard that I just KNOW will do it over and over again.
Like look I get it Juno had her faults BUT I have to admire her for sticking it out. I wish I could (gently) shake them and yell at them to grow a spine already!!! And their boyfriend's are never as pretty as hachi's, too. They're no takumi so what the fuck are they staying for
Anyways yeah most of Nana's target audience/fans have been in abusive relationships(wiki: I pulled it out of my own ass but I don't know a single nana fan that hasn't been involved some way or another in one) so I'm here to seek counselling as a worried friend who does want to help, but also knows themselves and I'm afraid I'll stop caring cause ik I can't do this forever and sometimes I slip into the "they were basically asking for it" which
Its kinda hilarious remembering I went into this thinking it was a story, not centered around romance at all, maybe with a heterosexual couple between Horus and Hathor that would be sidelined for the plot and then I remember getting to chapter 20 and being just... absolutely gobsmacked.
I was too stunned to stop reading so I kept at it and now I actually like it. I'd change the needless sa but other than that I'm glad I read it! Still objectively hilarious when the two "enemies" started making out tho
NGL tho if I was Yona FIRST thing I'm doing is organizing the people who betrayed her dad and firing them all or utilizing them to death
He wasn't the a perfect king, thats for sure. But no one is. And while his actions might not have benefited the "country" it did benefit a lot of people.
He did not want the throne. He did what he did knowing he would be killed by the boy he raised. He killed his beloved brother, yes partly for revenge but also because he was unfit for the throne.
He saved the country from a tyrant and a despot who decapitated people and burned down temples for one single woman on the off chance that would endanger her when the woman herself DID NOT WANT THAT.
I bieve that by pacifying other neighbouring countries and letting them take territories (like we see with what happens with the kingdom ruled by the two princesses, who's hatred runs so deep they were willing to go to war despite knowing they could die) he has saved countless lives from being claimed at war, or the inevitable starvation that comes from it.
Not just koukas people, but other kingdoms too.
So again, he wasn't perfect, but he wasn't the worst.
And the point isn't even that, it's that those people sworn to him plot his murder and then tries to murder *her*
See I absolutely believe that the moment a regent stops being useful he should be déposez, but he *was useful*. He was the middle man between a reign of terror and one of peace under Yona and Soo won.
Still, I also believe in revenge. You best believe if you kill my father in front of me, and the people that basically raised me try to kill me countless times only to come running to me with their tails between their legs I *will* savour that defeat.
he was better than soo wons dad duh. less shitty king obv doesnt make a good king though if your people are dying from starvation and disease you gotta go. not to mention that he sucks so much as a leader that he couldnt even properly unite the tribe leaders to fight all the fucked up stuff going on like human trafficking or drug abuse
I love Akatsuki no Yona. It's hands down one of my favorite series. Best character development, characters that have big personalities, characters that have depth-it has it all.
But if there's one tiny thing I don't like, it would be how they handle betrayal. Idk, just. I wish they had gotten a little bit angrier for her.
Don't get me wrong. King Il was IL suited(see what I did there) to be king, and him usurping the throne isn't something I'd be mad about, as an ordinary citizen. I'd welcome it in fact, because nobles oblige and what are they good for otherwise you know?
But this goes a bit deeper than that. You're not just a normal citizen, youre a friend.
So me, personally, even if I thought they were doing good, if I see the childhood friend of one of the most important people in my life who betrayed and tried to kill her- I wouldn't even think to say "he doesn't seem like a bad person."
You keep that to yourself. And you show anger and frustration, and you show you don't support or accept them, until told otherwise.
It just bothers me, you know? Like take Lili for example. Yona is basically her only "real" female friend but she waltzes around Soo won and plays around with him like nothing is wrong and that would really hurt me if I was Yona, you know?
Just. I know he did what he did for the good of the country. That he's revolutionizing it and bringing the people closer than ever. But he still betrayed "me" and seeing people who care about me act freely with him like they don't truly care would break me in a way.
For me trust is my biggest value, so seing betrayal just be brushed off is not something I enjoy. And Soo won is one of my favorite characters mind you! He's really incredibly written AND incredibly designed. But still.
He didn't have to take that road. He could have imprisoned her, tried to reason with her, anything. Instead he immediately resorted to killing off his two childhood friends. Not only Yona, but hak-in my opinion his favorite person(not romantically, ya weirdos) -, too.
And it just feels like they've forgiven him. Not just, "I hate you but I love this country more" but fill on "let's put this behind us. I want you to live for no other reason than it's you." And that gets a bit on my nerves.
Not to mention, king il wasn't completely inept. Look, he still kinda sucked. Drugs, slavery, widespread hunger, etc. But those are normal inevitable things that happen in any country, let alone a coyple hundred yesrs ago. I
Heck I live in a first world country and we still deal with all those same problems!!!
But he wasn't just a coward. He stopped his brother, who was a despot and a killer. He gave up territories and weakened the nation, sure- but he was giving reparations to the victims of his brother and his father's legacy-. I'm sure that must have stopped a few wars as well.
He harboured the son of his wife's killed, and the one who would murder him in the certain future. He let him be, even tho he knew how this would end. Because he truly thought that was for the best. Soo won sees him as an inept leader and a scoundrel who kills people, but he only murdered his brother, who is the one who fit both those titles perfectly. The country needs a fearless general to protect itself, but it's leader cannot be a warmonger. Only the poor are trampled and made to pay the most, yet receive the least.
I completely agree, justice for Yona. I had to drop it a while back because I felt like it was so unfair how everyone was ignoring her very valid hatred for soo won. Especially the whole lili thing that was my last straw, how can you go and face Yona after chilling with her enemy, and still act like her friend. Even ignoring killing her dad he literally hunted her down and now she’ll only get back her father’s throne because he’ll gave it to her. I felt like all the character development yona went through was pushed to the background after soo won made his appearance again.
Let me guess....he needs to be pierced by the crimson king himself. So, he antagonizes them and especially hak as her greatest weakness so she grows angry enough to let them go.
But that's so silly, Zeno.
Can't you see she couldn't even properly hate the one who killed her family and turned her life upside down? The one who tried to kill her and Hak as well?
How is she supposed to hate you, who shares her blood and a soul tie?
If it's their past reincarnation Istg...
