ok here& #39;s my shymurr thought; simplifying it to & #39;oh murr doesn& #39;t know how shylock feels& #39; or & #39;oh it& #39;s completely one-sided& #39; as in & #39;murr just doesn& #39;t return his feelings at all& #39; kinda misses the point of it
when i say & #39;it& #39;s not one-sided& #39; people tend to think i mean & #39;murr loves him back & will stop being an amoral catboy and they will settle down and have two kids

if someone likes you back but not /in the way you like them/ or /enough to change for you/ it& #39;s not one-sided. i don& #39;t really mean this in the & #39;one party wants this to be romantic and the other wants it to be platonic& #39; way bc i really...don& #39;t know how to unpack
& #39;platonically larping as someone& #39;s pet& #39; and if i think about this for more than two seconds i take psychic damage. I& #39;m taking psychic damage right now
my point is that i keep thinking about shylock framing it as & #39;this woman loved him but he didn& #39;t realize, how sad, she& #39;s an idiot& #39; (parallels being drawn between the two of them) and IMMEDIATELY AFTER seeing a flashback where murr says & #39;do you WANT me to flat-out turn you down& #39;
and i think about shylock thinking of current murr as radically different than the old one & thus unaware but...every single soul shard has the & #39;old& #39; personality & doesn& #39;t seem to want to go back. he is PERFECTLY CAPABLE of having normal conversations as we see in walpurgis
this is the THIRD TIME in TWO DAYS i& #39;ve made this thread
