Re: How will you steal that girl from Hisao? If Yamaku exist

^^ Thanks for understanding. I actually was in an abusive relationship where I was being white knighted, constant reminders that I was broken and needed sheltering so it stung a little to be thought of as that role. I usually just lurk on forums and rarely say a thing, but everyone here seems cool and able to express their feelings so I feel more safe peaking out of my shell.Rivan wrote:Well, the fact that you were similar at one point doesn't mean you are or will be anymore...

It was my mistake to try and answer beyond a witty sentence. (no sarcasm intended). I just thought she'd and I would bond due to similar life experiences, interests, personalities. I used to be that skittish and terrified of people due to a difficult childhood. From that I extrapolated how within the confines of the question how things could play out and how to adjust given that I was not a hetero male.
As for female white knighting, it is more that I connected with the character as it was like looking in a mirror. Perhaps it is the desire to connect with someone who understands draws me to such characters. None of my relationships irl have mirrored the 'saving a damsel in distress'. Actually I tend to end up in that role though I have gotten much better on standing on my own two feet just like Hanako did. I apologize if my hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question was seen as anymore more than musing how it would work given the circumstances.
^^ I think I could handle Misha's 'whahaha' but I think she already has her heart set on someone.
There's no need to apologize, as I seemed to take one part of your explanation and apparently blew it out of proportion, since I was worried that someone who completed Hanako's path would behave that way and see things from the point where you seemed to do in your original post.
I guess... I just kill dem white knights where I find them. Metaphorically, of course
