On a related note, I have been reading Campione lately and am currently on volume 12 of the light lovel. Feeling like I happened to read a reboot I was a bit distraught. I supposed you should go read it yourselves so I wont spoil anything but DAMN YOU SATURNUS!!!!!!!
The reason for my distraught though was not the circumstances in the current volume, but rather the issue of death in the series. Of course what I'm talking about is Godou's relationship with all his "lovers". The fact that he is a Campione means he will most likely live far longer then most humans for example Marquis Voban who seems to have been alive for quite a long time, but still aged and Luo Hao who has been alive for 200 years but still seems to be in her "teens" in physical aspects. It really got me thinking too deeply though about the eventuality of death for the rest of his companions. The most likely die before he does casting aside magic that might prevent them from doing so, but this fact somewhat makes it depressing. In one of the omake chapters Godou sees the possible future and witnesses someone whose back seem lonesome and I believe he might be seeing his own future way down the road. How will he cope? What had become of those he loved? These thoughts all boggled me and questioned if longevity or immortality was really one of those things worth seeking. Dat Lonely Road~
Now I did not stop there and it further put me to thinking about other couples in similar situations in some of the recent novels I am following. In Date A Live Shidou apparently ends up with a harem of spirits who will evenetually have to see him "go away" in a sense after his life as a human ends. In The Circumstances Leading to Waltraute's Marriage, the valkyrie Waltraut ends up getting married to a very young boy and so sometime near the middle of end of the volume it raises the question of whether to use the Apples of Immortality. At the end of the volume (forgive my spoilers but highlight the lines if you wish to read),
-Waltraut tells the parents of the boy that she will stay with him until the day he dies-
Though it ended there and somewhat on a joking note, it still made me think about what her answer would be or rather as she said, "Whatever the boy decides, the answer will only be up to him whether or not he should eat the apple."
It somewhat aches inside whenever these topics pop up because you would like to see "forever" happen, but unfortunately that is just our nature as humans to resist change and the like especially when it concerns characters of literature or media we have come to know and technically grow with. So I will end it there. Although I didn't really talk about much all in all, it was still a topic that I continue to think about and have so many feels over. Oh the amount of feels I have inside regarding this really makes my soul hurt. Y u do dis brain.

In other news I really want Rune Factor 4 -_-. Forget the fact that I do not have a 3DS yet, how unlikely it will be for the NA release to have Japanese dubbing. Ayana Taketatsu and Tomokazu Sugita ;o;... Bachelorette and Bachelor possibilities. Goddamnit! Not to mention you have a pretty good voice lineup for the characters as well. I pray if the game does come out with dual dubs, I will be all up on that!
Plus where are you PSO2 English release! Ragnarok Online 2 NA release! Starbound! Stardew Valley! Disgaea D2! Guided Fate Paradox! Blade & Soul! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuu
