#txt#the dark ageless monster guy that gets humanized through his bond w this estranged girl (thats probs mortally cursed or smth)#except one is not intending to marry someone that belongs in a highschool#like ive had my fare share of weird shojo tropes but it makes me so much mad when what an appropriate relationship is literally just#more functionally sound/textually acknowledged. like oh so you know. literally whats the reason of you deciding to be weird instead. why.#like the series is aware she's young (bc it's also relevant that shes dying young)#like ok freeing (buying) a girl thats being sold to magic slavery. training her magic for when he's not around (i.e. most of time) and#passing down your knowledge bc you're dying soon or smth and for her to at least learn to appreciate life/her potential bc see prev point#and in the process he finds acceptance as not a terrifying monster and a grounding 'home'#like. what about that necessitates her being his bride.#he spends more of the series away or like half the time theyre together is about magic something that has v few to do w it couple behaviour#but also if you stated it was more of a father-daughter rel or strictly master-apprentice but kept a good chunk of scenes the same#i would argue would be (if not more) weird bc it does not commit in either direction and it annoys me#it's distant enough w enough time for it to be better spent in lit any other kind of relationship but is also aware that it's kinda (very)#uncomfortable for at least chise at the very least at the beginning (and those were some weird jokes mate)#like a lot imo becomes a waste bc of this bc again *most* of the plot has nothing intrinsecally attached to her being his *bride* so. why.#why. why.
