To be fair I don’t necessarily see that as romantic or sexual
I disagree with the idea that marriage is necessarily the highest form of bond
I feel like you can have platonic bonds that are significantly deeper than anything romantic
Or at least on par in a different way
Feels like that’s how spren-Radiant relationships are
The defense tends to be “No see, this girl who looks 13 is actually a 3,000 year old fairy, it’s totally fine”
Sure
I’d have the same issue if Shallan got with Pattern, Venli with Timbre, or Hoid with Design
In technicality, not mentality or development
When they first met and for a while afterwards, she’s for all intents and purposes a child
That feels like the same defense anime fans tend to use
