now that i’m not like 12 it’s easy to see he’s a cheesy ball of broody boy tropes, but i still love him and have a soft spot for him and nino. blazing sword pairings hit me really hard at the time for whatever reason– actually pairings hit me really hard at that time period now that i think about it lmfao

That’s fine! I’m not saying that no one can like him/them. And honestly it’s not his personality I don’t like (though he hasn’t held up super well for me, probably because I never loved him for his own sake to begin with) but it’s because I love Leila and Matthew so much. My feelings about them are a lot more complicated and have more depth now so I just can’t forgive Jaffar for killing her LOL

And as for Nino, idk she’s so young I don’t really want to ship her with anyone anymore. But for later on I think it would be nice if she could end up with someone happy and stable, she doesn’t need to stay locked in that kind of world.
