i've thought this through and this is the reason why i am asking this questionJanusThePaladin wrote:i disagree. I never really saw her as "hovering" anymore then nanami or Gremio. I think it adds a bit of depth to the series that she IS a woman, rather then a guy. I never got to the point of questioning her every move and thinking that she wants to bone the prince. I saw her very much as i see the women I'm friends with, but have no intention of dating. I dont see the big deal here, and i think it makes very little difference whether she's a guy or girl, its just to show the variety of the world, and how Falena accepts and raises its women citizens. So in that sense, it is actually BETTER that she was a woman.Mio wrote:ah !! male true friendshipsTrueWater00 wrote:I dont think mio was comparing all of those other characters to be bodyguard-esq, but more of like a true friendship of some sort, and to answer your question mio, i kind of like how it was a girl, since we have seen so many male, male true friendships and now there is like a guy and a girl who really care about each other but not in THAT way, ya know? it was a nice little switch up, but i def could see lyon being a guy as well, being like the big brother type to the prince for sure. I hope that was a good reply to your question
the exact words i was looking for
if they were both guys, you would accept them as friends
but now that Lyon is a girl, with a hint of chivalry in the sides
everything's changed, you second guess every move Lyon does
you start to see how they can become a couple
but then you also see Lyon's distinct feature, hovering all over the prince
suddenly, romantic turns to annoying
true guy friendship or romantic/annoying relationship?
Gremio is a guy, Nanami is pseudo-kin
no reason to second guess their intimacy
hovering is pretty acceptable if they stood behind the romantic line
Lyon on the other hand can easily cross that line
and i (emphasize "I") start to get annoyed when i think that within a couple
the damsel is the one doing the hovering
