Quote 15

Okay so this has like Heavy spoilers for the [media] so I’m also going to do a spoiler free version.

Spoiler free one: A and B have been incredibly close friends since childhood, to the extent that they switched [charms relevant to in universe stuff] (big deal in universe). They currently live together and are raising/teaching four kids. There’s even a whole spin off [media] that mostly consists of them staying up late and cooking together. This specific quote also draws parallels to an in universe fairytale/love story about a star falling in love with a tree.

Spoiler one: A has a parasite inside his eye socket that will kill him if he ever gets too comfortable. To combat this he originally had his memories frequently erased, once B learned about this he offered to erase his own memories and make A live with the secret, essentially keeping him in a constant state of anxiety. Whenever B works out what’s going on A erases his memories again (at his own request). The quote in question is A talking about how being around B and living with him makes him so happy and comfortable that he’s constantly scared of becoming a tree :)

My toxic codependent duo…

—

there's so many good quotes for these two but this one just gets me. (trying to be spoiler-free here bear with me) she basically just stole his access to time and space and tries to use it as leverage to get him to do something. which by the way she only does that because he said it's impossible. then AFTER SHE'S BETRAYED HIM he tries to do the impossible thing anyway for her. and says this. god i can't stand them

—

I know what it’s from and I am vehemently against viewing that pairing as romantic and yet I still voted for it bc there’s no denying thats one of the most romantic quotes of all time

Quote 9

“Please, [] — Don't... I, too, thought it was the way we had to be with each other. But I was wrong — I can't take it anymore. I've been so lonely all this time. Leaving the plains... And you, my best friend treating me like a noble stranger. [...] Please, talk to me normally, like you always used to.”

Quote 9

A's story is that she lost her entire tribe to a bandit attack, then discovered that her grandfather was the lord of [place] and set off to connect with him. after this goal was completed and before the above quote was spoken, B thought that the best way to show her devotion to A was to serve her as a knight and refer to her by her proper title: Lady [A’s formal name]. however, this formality only fed A's growing homesickness, and that dynamic is just so compelling to me. it genuinely boggles my mind that even in [media], which released in [recent years], they're still just referred to as "friends".

Quote 75

(Might expand it afterwards !! I'll really try to keep it short I swear)Also to source this, the quote comes from [redacted]

Alright so for starters, the whole quote goes like this:B: If all goes well, we defeat [person]’s empire without bloodshed and save seven million people. On the other hand, if it doesn't, and if God is watching us [quote].A: Relax, man. If it's God you're talking about... He's been absent from the world of [main aspect of the series (science)] since the very dawn of time. Listen well, [title]!!

The "confession" line was already submitted once, so here you have the marriage vows (or A finally acepting B).

This is said on the context of the beggining of a strategic war. A, now head of his Kingdom, has tacitly made B, a traitor to the other Kingdom that LEFT IT FOR A, his right hand. They need to gain the upper hand in this war, and a resource has been given to them for this. B comes up with the plan of deceiving the other Kingdom's population using this resource, giving them hope of regaining normalcy (they all are practically living like cavemen).

This is a cruel plan (for the greater good) that could destroy the trust in A from even his own friends, wich is why this scene happens in private, in the observatory right above the bedroom they share that is B to A's birthday gift, on a silent night. What B is proposing with this plan is for A to taint his hands the way he has done, to be seen with the same lense, but to be tainted and judged together and willingly. A acepts eagerly, because in contrast to the last time these two were in a love-charged scene, this time it isn't a sweet and sappy moment, but rather a severe circumstance with a meaningful answer that, by the way its worded, bounds them to a shared fate. It's by a lot much more in A's style.This time he smiles back at B's sinister grin because he is not only accepting the plan, he's accepting to share the afterwards, and dare I say the afterlife, with him.

Said by A after B threatens to kill him because B's going crazy because of plot reasons. A's words manage to snap B out of his trance (which is caused by a VERY STRONG magical curse btw).

They laugh after saying this. Their "hatred" is a joke they share. They've been fighting for so long (over a decade at this point) that they are now one of each others closest relationships, but refuse to admit it

the character saying the quote is opening up and trusting for the first time to 10 years in a character he has been somewhat rivaled to the whole game. it is the conclusion of who he used to be as a character and the start of him healing and growing for the better.

They love each other. They want each other dead. They're the same person.

"Joy and sorrow, anger and hatred—whether those feelings become your light or your darkness is for you to decide. The strength of your heart is what allows you to choose. That’s why I choose to let the light shine onto my own darkness. And [], that light is you."

Quote 50

A and his crew had cut down some trees that, unbeknownst to them, were sacred to B's people, the [people]. They got expelled from their land for this reason, but right as they were leaving, it was discovered that they did it to stop a deadly disease that could spread from plants to people. Upon learning this B ran into the ocean to tell this quote to A. They never saw eachother again.

[island] would end up being knocked into the sky later on, and getting conquered by the sky people, making them loose the bell. When A came back, he got accused of lying about the place and got executed for it, wondering about B's well-being before he died. B would die in battle thinking about how his friend would be able to find them without the bell. Centuries later the bell would get knocked by the protagonist and A's descendant was able to hear it's toll coming from the sky, finally getting peace after learning his ancestor wasn't lying.

Quote 78

"From now on, I'm assigning you to be my assistant. I feel like I can trust you to have my back. Although, I expect you understand what this means: you'll be able to shoot me in the back as well. If I ever deviate from this path then I want you to shoot me, and I'm trusting you to do so. Do you accept my offer?" "Of course I do, sir. I'll follow you into hell if you ask me to."

A publicly declares this while staring at B stuffing a sandwich into his face... if that isn't love idk what is

Quote 78

This scene is A plotting to one day become the country's leader, which is treasonous. He asks B to be his assistant in this because he trusts her fully and entirely, to not betray him and to help keep him safe, but also to stop him if he becomes power hungry and loses sight of his true goal: making this country a better place and holding people accountable for the war crimes they've committed in the country's name. Both A and B are included in this group of war criminals and they both go into this goal knowing that if they succeed they'll likely be executed.
