>She ended up married to an absolute prick, an abusive coward who doesn't deserve herMy condolences. That sounds horrible.
>I'll go into more detail regarding my disdain for that choice if you'd like.If you don't mind too much. I want to see why this guy is so bad and why she would ever choose him.
>but I decided that I fell in love with her way before these asinine choices were made and the Rukia I hold in my heart isn't the same one damaged by weak writing by the end of the showI can understand why this would be the case. However, I do want to ask you if you really can't love that Rukia at all. Again, I can see what you mean, but I want you to think about it. Even if it is bad writing, isn't it still Rukia? Should she be judged so harshly for making a bad decision? Is she really any less Rukia than the one you fell for or is the horrible boyfriend clouding your judgement?
Listen, I was in a pretty similar situation that you are in actually. You see, for the longest time I had fooled myself into thinking that I had only fallen in with OoT Sheik and that the other versions of her were great, but I thought they were much lower than this iteration. I can explain why each iteration of Sheik is different if you want, but it is a complicated explanation that I have explained many times before. Just know that I had convinced myself that I fell in love with one version only and the others weren't nearly as good. There was one form I completely neglected thinking about, on purpose as well. I didn't want to admit that she was really a form of Sheik. One was the "true Sheik" in my mind and that was it. But this was not true. I could go into detail into how I fell in love with Sheik, but that is also a very long explanation, just know that it was VERY gradual and took a bit over 20 years for me to admit my feelings. Over that time, I had fooled myself into thinking I only loved one form more than the others when in fact that is not true. (Cont.)
