House: "Don't Ever Change"

Ditto my observation on the previous episode in every conceivable way.


I have observed that "la" is how I punctuate sentences that fail. For example,

I would never have noticed that on my own, la~
I have a lot of spam now, la~

On loyalty for unselfish reasons

Okay. I've thought about it, and I can now explain why I like Peony/Jade, Aizen/Gin and similar pairings. ("Similar?!" you might be saying, if you haven't heard my explanation yet.)

It's because I have a button. To put it verbosely, this button is, "A person who is powerful and in control, in his or her own right, who still willingly chooses to serve another person for unselfish reasons."

(Tales of the Abyss pushes this button a lot.)

( A little more explanation. Absolutely ZERO of this has to indicate a PAIRING, I just like to pair them because they have this dynamic. )

Final Fantasy XII has some of this (Fran->Balthier; Basch->Asch?) and those relationships I liiike. I see it in Nash->Sasarai in Suikoden 3 (at one time, that was about a debt that Nash owed Sasarai, but that was years ago -- why would Nash still be willing to risk his life to protect Sasarai from Luc?) and Tactics has it, although it's fucked up (Haruka->Kantarou).
