Hi everyone! It's Taichi Nanao again!

I've been doing some reading and it tracks with what I know from my world: love is the most powerful kind of magic!

I guess real love is how you break a lot of so-called "love" spells! (It looks like most of those are like, attraction and obsession and something called bimbofication?? What's a bimbofi?)

What else do you think love can conquer? What happens if you haven't found real love yet and you get enchanted?

(Also, how soon is too soon to tell someone you love them? There's definitely someone I want to tell and I want to shout it from the mountain tops!)

[ What is this person on... are they a child. ]


... are you alright?
Haven't been around any strange sorts that might confuse you, have you?


[ She needs to ask this first. ]

[arf]

[ Yes and no. He's 18, but he's an extreme romantic. He's vanilla. He doesn't know about these things that normal people don't ask about and only discover from too much time on the internet. He prefers his porn in magazine format, the internet will never question his search history that way. ]

Huh?
I mean I guess, but the library has always confused me.

[ He's dumb as a brick, too ]

[menphina]

[ She'll figure it out. ]


I feel like it's necessary to ask, but how old are you supposed to be?

[arf]

I turned 18 last month!

[menphina]

A joyous belated nameday to you, then.


[ This suddenly explains a lot. ]

I don't think I want to know what bimbofication is, but
Romantic love only lasts as long as you're willing to put the work into it.
If a spell was cast on you, and you were obsessed with someone,
you'd know it isn't true, because you'd be getting nothing in return.

[arf]

Would you?
Maybe it's just from watching a lot of TV, but I think a lot of people stay in bad relationships where their love isn't real, but they try anyway. It's really heartbreaking!! And that's without magic even being involved. I think that's why love enchantments are considered dark magic, because they're really dangerous and hurtful?

[menphina]

[ Huh, looks like this kid's going in the right direction. ]

Aye, it's a sad situation all around.
Most people know, yet they think the person will change.
There are stories that encourage that kind of thinking, but it doesn't work in reality.

You have the right of it, though.
That's exactly why love shouldn't be forced or meddled with with things like magic and spells.
While there may be a chance, that your will may be stronger, and you'll fight it,
It'll make the heartbreak even worse when you recover.

I think it's worse to live with that, than with broken bones.
How long have you felt this way for whoever you want to shout your love about?

[arf]

[ He's just a big fan of romdrams and romcoms.

And knows something of continuing to follow people who hurt you because you don't know there's something better yet. ]

Yeah, exactly! I'm not messing about with them, I was just wondering what you're supposed to do to break it if you haven't found real love to overcome a love spell like that? Since it's hard enough to overcome without involving magic, that seems like it'd be impossible if you were being compelled the whole time.

Hehe, probably since the day I asked him to date me. Though he would've thought I was going way too fast... but I guess I just kind of knew once I knew, you know?

[menphina]

[ She does too, she writes them. Which is why it's important for her to ensure this kid isn't getting weird ideas about true love. She's a mother after all! ]

If you haven't found true love yet, then it's a matter of your will.
You'd feel wrong, deep down.
There's a good chance you'd be able to realize that, even if it would be difficult to.
So always listen to that feeling, if it ever happens, aye?
I hope it won't, though.

Though this does sound adorable.
Had you both known each other very long before you confessed?

[arf]

Hm.. maybe! Though in my case, I'm sure Hikaru could save me from any enchantment!

Yeah, we were both at this other planet called Prismatica for a while and that's where we met and fell for each other. I think? I fell for him anyway. But then we all got sent back right when I thought we were going to kiss and then he drew away for a while and I thought I was going to die on the inside. it felt like that anyway, so much that eventually I couldn't hold it in and I got my friends to do a flash mob with me to ask him to date me! Though that ended in disaster, heh.. I thought I was done in for sure.
