I love Chise Hatori x Elias Ainsworth, and if they ever did consummate there marriage in the future, I would be fine with it as long as itās initiated by Chise first, and they are both emotionally mature with Chise being around twenty-five or so. The thing is, that isnāt my focus. While I do think about it, I donāt do anything weird. I would honestly rather see a canon adult version of Chise before anything like that. If that never happens I'm fine with it because not everything is about sex! holy shit.
I love them together, but they are still far from ready for romance. Elias didnāt even understand what marriage actually was, and that was very apparent in the manga. One thing Iāve noticed about this fandom, especially back between 2016 and 2018, is that everyone was so freaky in it. Some people would sexualize Chise even though sheās a minor, which is completely disgusting and gross. I donāt care how many people try to justify that.
Some even made rape fantasy stuff, and of course youāre going to get that type of thing because there are weird people on the internet. That doesnāt mean I have to be fine with it. If anything, Iām disgusted by it. If you can take Elias Ainsworthās character and headcanon him as a rapist, I find you disgusting. How are you going to mischaracterize him into something that vile and depraved?
He isnāt a pervert. He isnāt a rapist. I donāt believe he preys on Chise at all. He also isnāt some āinnocent cinnamon roll.ā Heās a complex character who happens to be very attractive, but that isnāt all he is. He has so much depth, itās crazy.
Let me list a few things.
1. His emotional naivety and curiosity about the world.
He doesnāt understand his emotions whatsoever. He studies humans like a scientist studying a new species. When he expresses to Chise that he doesnāt know what a certain feeling is, itās genuine and not detached. His journey is to learn empathy, morals, boundaries, and love , things that come naturally to humans but not to him.
2. His power versus his restraint.
He isnāt weak. If anything, heās incredibly powerful. Heās ancient and capable of doing horrible things, but heās also childlike in how he handles that power. An example of this is when he threw a tantrum out of jealousy over Chise, or when he tried to sacrifice Stella because he was scared of losing her. Sometimes he lashes out when heās jealous or confused, not because heās evil, but because he hasnāt learned how to process emotions in a healthy way. His monstrous side and his gentle side are constantly in tension.
3. His identity and self-loathing.
He doesnāt truly know his origins or what exactly he is. He desires to belong, but he never truly can. This makes him lonely and dependent, especially on Chise. He often confuses love with possession or safety, which isnāt healthy, but I believe heās getting better. Heās learning, and so is Chise, so that they can eventually have a fully healthy relationship.
4. His intelligence and ignorance.
He isnāt some stupid idiot who should be babied. Heās incredibly smart and knowledgeable, but completely ignorant of the social and emotional parts of life.
5. His growth through Chise.
Chise is like a mirror that forces him to see whatās missing in himself and grow as a person. Through Chiseās pain and healing, he learns compassion and mutual care instead of ownership and curiosity.
His relationship with Chise is complex. It isnāt romantic early on, and even now, itās still more about emotional development. I hate when people dumb him down with labels that completely miss the point of his character. Calling him an āinnocent cinnamon rollā or a āhot himbo daddyā pisses me off. The first one annoys me so much, and the second one just tells me you donāt actually like his character , you just reduce him to being attractive.
And of course heās attractive, Iād hit, but heās so much more than that.
Part 2 of rant coming soon ??? Maybe??
