itp: babble
re: raikou and the situation I affectionately refer to as "dumb and dumberer" and his latest thread with Raph and why he is what he is.
...aka: an essay in chatlog form that is really too short to be called an essay but an explanation of sorts nontheless.
pie|ish> ....also, raph
pie|ish> I'm sorry Raikou's being cruel
pie|ish> ...it's so much easier to forgive raph when he's not talking to raph
pie|ish> ....and it's so much harder to forgive raph when he doesn't look like hiimself
pie|ish> ...poor raph
pie|ish> his life is hard :(
pie|ish> and raikou's a bit of a bitch that holds one hell of a grudge.
pie|ish> ....honestly, just look at him and his family
pie|ish> at least itachi had a better excuse for killing people
pie|ish> ...and the thing is, Raikou's not all that angry anymore. he's hurt and he's sad. he's grieving, in his own way, which apparently manifests as anger and hatred, both at the person he's hurt by and at himself.
pie|ish> LIKE HE SAID in that very first game, to Takami's quiz-things, the most detrimental emotion is grief
pie|ish> ...with Itachi, it's easier to ignore because their friendship wasn't based on...this
pie|ish> but it's going to be hard for Raikou to talk to Itachi about this too. anything else would be okay... but this subject is such a touchy one
pie|ish> ..and with raph... Raikou is super weak to Raph :( as was made obvious by their earlier thread. but he doesn't see Raph as Raphael himself so much when he's a girl.... it's almost like talking to a stranger that bears a remarkable resemblance both in looks and personality to the person he loves
pie|ish> which makes it too easy for him to lash out without the sense of responsibility and guilt that comes with talking to Raph
pie|ish> raph do you understand what he's sayingggg
Saix> n...no...
pie|ish> he wears the bracelet because he loves you
pie|ish> if Raphael takes the bracelet off of him
pie|ish> it's Raphael's choice to terminate their relationship
* pie|ish likes symbolism too much for her own good, apperntly ;o;
pie|ish> ...apparently*
Saix> at this point raph is actually a little afraid of raikou
Saix> because she has no idea what to do
pie|ish> Raikou's basically dropped the full responsibility of what comes next onto Raphael
pie|ish> because he thought he made his stance clear: he loves Raphael and he doesn't want to lose him. He just wants the bond gone
pie|ish> but then Raph goes on to say, uuuh
pie|ish> "up to the point where you can't be with me anymore."
pie|ish> that
pie|ish> which indicates that Raphael sees them at over
pie|ish> as*
Saix> HE'S CONFUSED
Saix> because raikou's upset
Saix> and raph interprets raikou being upset as, "i fucked up so bad that raikou doesn't love me anymore"
pie|ish> ...we're very good at this communication thing
Saix> yyyep
pie|ish> ...Itachi and Neji don't always talk which is their problem
pie|ish> we talk and we kind of miss each other's points
pie|ish> ...
pie|ish> A++
Itachi> TALKING IS HARD
pie|ish> TALKING DOESN'T ALWAYS HELP
pie|ish> AS RAPH AND I ARE PROVING RIGHT NOW
