“Wow my heart is not beating very quickly anymore and my hands stopped sweating when I hold Mary's compared to Katarina's. Can we stay like this?” “If it makes it stop, then sure”

Wow, Young love! Katarina is so wrong and so right at the same time dhfkhkfdhgk the Alan X Katarina X Mary dynamic is so powerful hsdfgjsdf (from the hamefura anthology chp. 5)

Seriously, it's the girls who bring what Bakarina needs in life: gardening, doujin and food.

What do the boys in her harem offer? Zilch. The fiance wants her around because he finds her interesting, a spice for his boring life. Her adopted brother is an obnoxious obsessive siscon who does all he could to cockblock the fiance. Alan plays music that she appreciates but doesn't care that much, and the emotionally stunted Nicole is nothing more than eye candy. Waste of space, those boys are.

..................................Okay then, I guess we’re doing this. But listen, I do not think I am the right audience for espousing the opinion you seem to want me to. I mean, obvs, you do you, and you’re entitled to your own opinion. But like........literally, one of my recent asks went like this:

me: I hope the show ends with the full poly harem (w/ qpt Keith/Cat), and I like all of the harem ships except for Keith/Catarina, as I’m Conflicted on it bc incest is :///

you: but fuck the boys, amiright?

So like......I don’t know why you think I’ll agree with you?? Bc, yes, I do absolutely think that the girls all suit Catarina the best, but that doesn’t mean that I think the boys have no merits whatsoever. 

Well, okay, I do agree a bit about Keith, who is probably my least favorite character in show due to the fact that all he inspires in me is Conflicted Feelings. The biggest part of the reason for that is obviously bc incest is always :////, but also bc yeah, possessiveness is never going to be my favorite flavor for romance. But even w/ Keith, I feel that, if he just wasn’t her goddamn brother, then his relationship w/ Catarina would be perfectly fine, and perhaps even a contender for the best one of the boys, as he does know her very well. (And I think it’s telling, that of all the fantasies in ep 8, Keith’s was the only one that involved giving Catarina what she was later shown as desiring, even if I personally highly disliked the sexualized manner in which he did so.) The only flaw is, of course, that he is her goddamn brother, and as such, is a glaring, critical enough flaw that it completely kills what would otherwise have been a good ship.  

Geordo’s probably the next most Problematic character after Keith, and yes, you’re right that the reason why he fell in love w/ Catarina was bc she brings zest and color to his life. But he’s also been shown to be genuinely earnest in doing things for her that’ll make her happy, despite knowing that he’s unlikely to get what he wants from her in return, and no matter how that runs counter to everything he’s been taught of what’s ‘appropriate’ in their high class society. He’s protective of her, but also trusts her judgment, as shown in the finale eps, where he lets her take the lead on how to resolve the situation w/ Raphael, instead of asserting any kind of superiority. He also clearly respects and loves her for who she is, and like everyone else, goes along w/ her weird interests and hobbies despite how ‘undignified’ he may find them, and he has no interest in trying to change her to being more ‘respectable’, or whatever. And for all his jealousy and possessiveness issues, he never takes it out on her, or does anything w/ it aside from quiet mild complaining and a bit of bickering w/ Keith. 

I’ve already gone on record as saying that Alan’s the Best Boy for her. Yes, she appreciates his music, but he also plays to her competitive side in a way that no one else does. And to say that he doesn’t care that much about her is pretty ridiculous, imo. Did we not have an entire episode where EVERYONE was pretty much having a breakdown over the idea of losing Catarina? Or, if you were trying to say that Catarina doesn’t care about Alan’s music much, I also don’t think that’s true, considering how much she gushes about it. Alan and Catarina also just have quite a lot of quiet and really sweet moments together, like that ending scene to ep 8, when they’re sitting in that tree. 

Nicol definitely has had the least amount of focused attention or screen time, which is something I hope they address more in season 2. But then again, he can’t exactly do much, bc every time he tries Catarina pretty much faints on him, so that’s hardly his fault that she’s just too attracted to him, now is it?

So........no, I do not think the boys are wastes of space. If you want more bashing of the boys, you’d probably be better served elsewhere. ✌
