misery breeds misery and he just seeps in it even when he was a little kid. I honestly think the first stepmom was decent. She tried with him and wasn’t ready to be called mom yet which was fine. Then he flipped out on her :| . Child cirrus acted like everyone owed it to him to be nice when he didnt even try to have good manners.
I can’t believe his thought process of “ I made the first move and he didn’t even meet me halfway” like bro???? you really think like this when you’re also an SA victim?? when you don’t get love from your family ,you turn out to be shit like your parents I guess
cirrus was a small child who just lost his mother and was struggling with the fact that his father wished he was dead instead of her and gave up on him so quickly. he was desperate to find a parental figure in his life. you can’t blame a child for having emotions like that, especially when it’s obvious he has a mental disorder like bpd. he didn’t have a strong enough heart as a child to take in all the bad things happening to him and not lash out.
not to mention he’s supposed to be a complex and initially unlikable character. you’re not supposed to love him, but you should at the very least try to understand where he was coming from as a child, and understand why he turned out the way he did. he is still living in hell for him, it’s impossible for him to develop as a character until he gets away from his family.
and i can’t speak on the 2nd part because what he did to skylar was definitely messed up and i won’t excuse that.
same thoughts. yes cirrus is toxic and needs help, but it’s his father that’s all to blame. He was a literal CHILD. Of course he’d be aggressive and push everyone away. Imagine hearing your own father wish your death and in that age? Plus everything that happened after? I’d be more surprised if he wouldn’t turn as problematic as he is right now
Also, he has a bended thinking which again traces back to his traumas. I’m also not surprised that he doesn’t think as normally and as logically as other people do. He needs serious help, but I honestly can’t blame his character. Lastly, knowing how his father acts, I’m pretty sure it’s also in their genes to be that problematic. And he could have not developed his current toxicity, but all the trauma he has gone through triggered it.
This exactly this. Around the age when he lost his mom, heard that statement from his dad, lost his nanny and had a first stepmom is the critical age where a child's behaviors are molded. Unfortunately,he got the worst environment for that thanks to his asshole father. Not to mention, his teacher molested him. Gosh its too much for a child,he just wants a hug (/TДT)/
seriously i still love him, and i think he needs a lot of healing from his fucked up childhood. i hope skylar is able to somewhat help him begin to mend his heart. someone once said that it’s baffling how cirrus is still capable of loving people despite all of his trauma, and i think thats so heartbreaking.
Bro everyone except MC got major ptsd problems and it’s creating an imbalanced feeling for the whole story where mc just gets mentally abused because of these fragile and dramatic characters. I hope Mei is a relief character and not another trauma dump.
Mirei actually kind of resolved her ptsd/issues because of her love and attachment for mc and I love her for that. I hope yamadera never becomes a vampire bc he has such slow character growth, he’ll probably hold on to his trauma for eternity if he becomes a vamp.
Elitism and patriarchy in a modern setting but with historical villains just makes the villains look ghetto and uncivilized asf man. Ever since the arc where Su Luxia had to go in her own original form and be an office worker (and compete in looks with that blonde hair girl), I feel like she’s doing more and more extra work for the role that she takes on and I feel tired for her :(
Anywho thank you staff for your hard work! Rest well!
