[dioception]

I've been wondering, is there any kind of stigma against a god and shinki flirting, or even dating? Not just any god and shinki, but like... a partnered pair. Or is that too weird, is it like getting hit on by your boss or something?

The whole 'god and weapon' relationship is still strange for me, and I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but I might be holding a torch for my partner. I'd just like to know if it's something I should pursue, or if I should attempt to put it down.

Personally, I think it's a terrible idea.

[ Then again, his current shinki is his own brother, so... ]

If they're your own shinki, you already know more about them than they'll ever know about themselves. You have to keep things from them or risk losing them forever. The entire relationship between gods and shinki is already grounded in lies and deception, so why the hell would you want to make anything more out of it when that's all it'll ever be?

'Lies and deception' is it? I don't really feel that way, but I suppose that you're entitled to your opinion. Working within my limits, I am as honest as I can be, and honesty is rather important in this relationship as it is, considering the whole 'blight' deal.

I wasn't asking if it was a good idea, however, simply if it was a faux-pas, but after the opinion of many others, I'm fairly certain that I'm willing to overlook a faux-pas so long as my shinki is.

And you were incapable of making that decision for yourself? Do you ask others for their opinion on what clothes to put on in the morning as well?

If you want to do it, do it, but if it blows up in your face because something you say or do triggers something in them, don't whine about how others told you to.

I'm wondering whether your reading comprehension is just shit or if you are projecting your own issues onto someone else.

I can't tell if something is socially acceptable or not without, I don't fucking know, asking people? So that's what I did, and what I've found out is that it's not social suicide though it's "frowned upon", which means that I won't feel guilty bringing it up to my shinki, who stands to lose more than I do, because I'm used to being reviled.

[vindicavi]

Used to being reviled, yet afraid of whether or not something is socially acceptable? If that's what you're concerned about, then I feel sorry for your shinki.

It's definitely reading comprehension, it seems. I'd suggest another quick run through school, maybe get a GED.

This conversation is over.
