>>509877I honestly think this is what’s being set up. We have already seen Toby poke fun at his fandom and show bias for the JP fandom over the western one where none of this is as much of a problem. Please, Toby, please have the balls to pull it off. It would be so much more narratively satisfying to the theme of Susie never doing what she’s expected to do, but what she wants.
Gerson even asks HER how she’d make her own story end, and he fights her because he knows she has the hardest will to write her own story and defy the prophecy. Like even past the cuteness of an unconventional het pair or that it’s cool they’re both unapologetically gnc, there is this constantly hammered message of Susie teaching Ralsei to be his own person and Ralsei teaching Susie to be more emotionally open and vulnerable,
it’s so blunt that in the castle town tea party they say they’re rubbing off on and appreciating each other, and they’re proud of the other for how they’ve changed. Why go through the trouble to set that up so consistently not to follow up on it? I want to believe.
