I wanna say No but she felt more comfortable with Ajisai compared to how she was with Mai.
Same with her Temper and her constantly wanting to use violence to solve issues, those are all things that need to actually be shown as genuine flaws for her to overcome.
if her devotion and lack of a identity outside of being Charlie's protector is meant to be a flaw or 2 she has grow and learn from, then they need to show it off more.
I'm not asking for a family guy cutaway style thing where they say her flaws crystal clear and all that but I just wish her flaws were more better conveyed and I wish she actually made mistakes via those flaws.
Vaggi is unfortunately lacking in that category and in a general a good amount and I hope the story shows it off more.
I Also always wonder who Renako would've chosen if she had to choose between Mai and Ajisai but she likes Ajisai a lot more,so she would've probably chose her and let her and Mai's relationship in a weird spot.
I love Mai but Renako obviously liked Ajisai more,just based on how she acts when they hang out,she acts more comfortable with her.
And I mean genuinely stupid.
like borderline braindead.
Like people see her being overly affectionate to Lillie as "oh she's not a bad parent",No she is.
she's extremely neglectful and that is a form of abuse and more or less was always working and obsessed with the Ultra Beasts.
This is a adaptation, they're gonna change things up,Quit bitching.
also she didn't even know her own Daughter was traumatized by even touching Pokemon and her Own Son had to remind her and tell her about it.
Why do you guys think lusamine Apologized for not being a good Mother?
I actually like that in the Games they gave Lusamine a actual character arc and had her,you know, recognize her mistakes as a parent and person and grow and develop into a better person and better mother to her kids.
Like Yeah, Characters are allowed to Grow and Develop.
Unless you wanna accuse her of fetishizing something she went through herself, which is a extreme bold claim for someone you don't know, then I suggest gaining some empathy.
One of mine is Mai is extraordinarily touch starved,like she basically reacts to physical affection like how someone would react after drinking a cup of water after they were dying of thirst.
Also she's secretly depressed and just hides it well.
"OH she never helped Angel Dust and made his problems worse" not only is the latter straight up not true but I would argue giving Angel Dust a home away from Val and most importantly a chance to fix his life and get out of his deal and give him hope things can get better is helping him,even her methods aren't the best.
Husk did also help a good amount more but acting like Charlie has never helped him or in general is just blatantly false.
"All Charlie did was slut shame him" that's not even true for obvious reasons.
"She doesn't care about her Dad or Alastor" I have heard those takes so many times and those are not true.
"Vaggi deserves a better girlfriend than Charlie" without Charlie,Vaggi would be fucking dead,acting like she's suddenly a horrible girlfriend all cause of a few mistakes that they resolved in S2 is insane and acting like Vaggi doesn't have her fair share of flaws and issues is actively wild(even if the story never acknowledges or calls them out)
Also I feel like it's easy to say her actions were dumb in S2 cause you weren't in her shoes and already dealing with clear unchecked grief and struggles + learning Heaven is on lockdown + Emily told her her dream actually came true + the fact that 3 Powerful Overlords have been slandering her for months and people were at the hotel for the wrong reasons and nobody seemed to care.
Like shockingly, stress and unchecked issues makes people do foolish things at times,who would've thought and at least she realized her mistakes but what do people even want from her at this point?
This Fandom(at times)and the Hatedom has a really bad habit of taking what the characters with very obvious flaws and issues say as facts.
Angel Dust is extraordinarily self-hating and self depreciating,he's a young man who was beaten down constantly by Val and the other 2 Vees into thinking that he deserves his date cause he signed his soul away when all his friends know him as a broken man being abused and hurt.
Angel Dust is wrong in the sense that he deserves and did this to himself.
