Fare thee well, my good moneyz
There is something profoundly beautiful and profoundly wicked in this sight...
Wao/Dracula Action Figure. Sometimes dreams do come true *squee of doom*
I'm happy I got this in the mail this morning, it cheered me up.
I've had some after-thoughts about what I've written in my last post. If you want to read my rants ...
Let me explain what's in my head, apart from some not very relevant grey matter.
As I told rouen81, a part of me is happy they decided to have separate careers.
Mixing heart and business is quite dangerous and they had established such a symbiotic relationship over the years, it was just natural at some point one of the two would have started to feel "taken for granted" and in need of new experiences.
But - within a symbiotic relationship - it is always hard to have time and energy and "mind space", to deal with something personal so time consuming and absorbing as work, especially when you are not managing yourself and - as it looks like will soon happen to Mari - you are not anymore "master of your time".
In other words, I doubt Mari would have been able to have a personal career if she kept on being Takako's manager.
So I guess her choice couldn't be avoided. Of course, tho', it could have happened in a less traumatic way.
After all, it quite seems they are still "together", tho' not "working together". It is very likely they will work together again, without being so "depending" on each other. It just can't happen now, considering the way things went and how pissed a lot of Wao fans are at Mari.
I am convinced it's "much ado" just to get a little more room and a taste of independence.
As an aside, I ask myself what sort of independence comes from shifting from "being manager" to "being managed"...mah, it's not for me to judge Mari's decisions.
She felt this was what she wanted and I respect her choice. Also, I respect Takako's reaction and I can see how she was caught in the middle between responsibilities towards her "employees" and...Mari.
Anyway, all this could be just wishful thinking, but what I'm absolutely convinced about is that, if there hadn't been anyone interfering, they would have worked out this decision about being less "depending" on each other without all this drama.
