Second couple

Yellowcanary July 1, 2024 3:56 am

I think it’s so funny everyone is complaining about the fact that we haven’t got the second couple story (me Included) But it just hit me that there is no second couple because the friend literally doesn’t have a life outside of the MC. I mean, does he really yeah but narratively no, his own family likes MC more than him.

If anyone ever treats you like how he treats his friend you need to leave that friendship

    Are we really giving real life advice to ppl based on assumed behaviours within a friendship which is only explored in a very limited way and used as a plot device for the main couple's relationship? You can speculate, but surely unless you make an extensive analysis on the matter you can't quite turn this into a life lesson
    Sometimes it's valid enough to just say that we wanted more of a side character and that we're coping with that disappointment.

    Well yes! Even though we see a very small portion of these characters interaction for the main chunk of the story, it is not healthy and if someone is treating someone else like this, it’s probably not healthy! Like everyone else knows their friendship better than obviously however, sometimes you need third advice. I’m not arguing for the disillusionment of all friendships, but sometimes you don’t know something is unhealthy until you’re outside looking in.

    I mean, also we did want more of the side character. He is interesting character, but he’s getting fucked by everyone, including the writer.

    Extremely limited, circumstancial information and a vague conclusion of "probably not healthy" isn't sufficient reasoning nor evidence based on which to pathologize real life relationships.
    I hope you understand the whole premise of your advice is false.
    If you'd like to genuinely help yourself or others out, I'd suggest actually making an extensive analysis using real life examples, based on the jumping-off point of your choice as presented in a oiece of fictional media. Which is really interesting when done right! Life just isn't black and white as to be able to surmise the health of a relationship and our due course towards it from something like this..
    If you just want to rant just for the sake of it while reading an entertaining story, then ofc that's fine and no need to try and force a cautionary tale to it.

    So let me get this straight you want me to go to the story with a fine comb and tackle bit by bit what is unhealthy about their relationship and how that can apply to real life? When someone was read this can easily identify such things? Even if you don’t think their relationship and it of itself is unhealthy That’s completely fine, but I still do and I will always because I just strongly believe it is.

    It was supposed to be a little ”hey if someone is treating you like how the blonde character is being treated by the main character, odds are that’s a unhealthy friendship”

    It’s not my thesis. I do not know anyone on this site personally so I cannot state or confirm or deny what their interpersonal relationships are.

    Of course, life is not black-and-white, but my post never said otherwise. However, don’t act stories most times don’t have lessons. There is a lesson that can be gleamed from almost everything, including this story.

    that being said if you would like to make so-called thesis go right on ahead, i fully support your endeavor

    Not a thesis, you seem to be exaggerating just to avoid accountability or are just tired to discuss this. If we're gonna offer literal advice on people's lives based on a comic that didn't actually delve into this specific topic/aspect of their friendship, we should at least be sufficiently describing what this lesson actually is and how it translates to at least one real life occasion, you don't agree with that? That's not what you did though imo, but you felt confident enough to instruct ppl to leave their friendships if their friend is "acting like" towards them like the MC is to the blonde guy, using like a couple of vague panels and 1 speculation abt his family.. I hope you can see how it is kind of unreasonable.
    Lessons can be learned from anywhere, media literacy in particular is also very valuable and beneficial and we should he encouraging exploring topics that interest us, confuse us etc! But it requires abit of effort.. It's just something I find important and I didn't want to let it go without addressing the issue I found with your comment. Not to make you feel bad about it (you're a stranger, you could hardly care for all I know), but in hopes that if you'd like to bring up a topic in real life terms and offer advice for it, to do so in a more cohesive and thought-out manner or just not offer advice and leave it to speculating or invite discussion about it first.. That's all. Take care.

    I actually disagree with you because I feel like if you’ve been reading this since the very beginning quite a bit of information about their Friendship and about His family and it could just be I really like the character so I remember the scenes that have to deal with him.

    I don’t think I’m avoiding accountability because I don’t think this accountability to take because I believe you’re missing the force of the trees like I was open to having a discussion about this We clearly are your pinpointing a sentence in a topic ultimately about the second couple.

    Like I completely agree that if you want to make well, thought out talk about advice that way That would be the best however that’s not and that’s what this is because I have done that before and I do like doing that that isn’t what this is going to become that.

    Like this was advice in the same way that horoscopes and fortune cookies are advice and that’s fine. But if we could talk on the actual topic of the advice itself, do you believe that my conclusion was wrong like do you genuinely think they have a healthy friendship? Because if so, I firmly disagree. Even the most recent panel we have of them meeting up at a coffee shop after the main character tried to beat his ass and forced him to reveal a secret about himself he clearly wasn’t willing to share and then had him do it again, do you think that connotes a healthy friendship in that action alone?


    Again, you may not care about that right but that something I care about I care about healthy portrayals of friendships and relationships, especially in these stories because often times one of them is the most unhealthy shit ever
