Does anyone else think she's referring to herself here?

Can there be any doubt?

That's how I read it.

The wisdom of the Blackthorn shows her the error of her ways. And keeps her from infused nuclear fusion.

The best option she has is to just apologize to him and explain everything, then walk away from the situation and let him choose. It isn't necessarily a good option, but it's the right thing to do.

That expression in the last panel . . . she knows she screwed up.

But first she has to admit to herself that she was being a total tsundere, which usually takes at least 8 volumes, if not more.

Except this isn't manga. That would be several years in the Wapsiverse at 5 pages a week and several interwoven plot lines. I expect this will be sorta resolved by May or June at the latest,

I've always wondered about the person who plays hard to get vs the object of their desires, then wonders why the other person keeps going elsewhere.

If many romantic comedies were actual life, the woo-er would be arrested for stalking the woo-ee and subject to a restraining order!

Hollywood and pop culture have, uh, really screwed a lot of things up in our culture. Like, bigtime. "List as long as my arm" comes to mind.

[Alkarii]

You, sir, must have either really long arms, or have mastered the art of fine print.

But yeah, playing hard-to-get is actually quite often a big mistake, as it can not only be frustrating as hell to the other party, but send the message that whoever is playing that game really just doesn't want to be with the person pursuing them (or anyone at all).

[TheDOCTOR]

Poor Castella. I feel sorry for her.

[Dave]

Does anyone else think she's referring to herself here?

Oh, absolutely.

I think she's just had That Experience. Most of us have, at one point or another in our lives. It's like a bucket of cold water down the spine... when our own blindness suddenly melts away, and we realize what we've done, and how much we've completely screwed up the very thing we had hoped to accomplish.

It sucks, because we usually can't fix it and we have none to blame but ourselves.

Her situation reminds me of a rather painful Babylon 5 episode, where the hopes for peace have failed and a war that nobody seems to want becomes inevitable: "And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder".

From personal experience, you should NOT play the "he should be able to read between the lines and get the message I'm not sending directly" game with a boy the age of Timothy. At his age, I accepted EVERYTHING I saw at face value and would 100% accept "this is not a date" as being the message. If she wants him to date her, she should not play hard to get otherwise she's just going to keep pushing him away into someone else's arms.

I don't care what age it's happening at. If the woman tells me it's not a date, I'm gonna act like it's not a date. I'm not going to try to pressure her or force the event into becoming a date. That is a violation of the concept of consent, and I'll be damned if I don't dry my hardest not to mess that up. And if she's too immature to acknowledge to herself that she wants a date, I'm probably not gonna be interested in the first place.

Fixed for you. The only difference is, with age, you start realising you just got tricked a bit sooner

[illiad]

yeah, 'subtle' is NOT something many men know about...



... and that switch has been used SO many times, it is loose..

[oldmanmickey]

Yea i am thinking she just had her eyes opened via a strong dose of reality. Timmy played it smart to, showing he was open to a date but that pickle chose for it not to be.

[Armorlord]

Panel 1: Uh oh, oh no.
Panel 2: Oh crap! Pickle no!
Panel 3: Whew! Awww, it'll be ok Pickle.

[Alkarii]

Hmmm... I feel there's a possibility that at some point, Timmy is still going to tell Scarlett (one or two t's? Too groggy to look right now) that he doesn't want to be with her. After all, she has been pretty much showing that she believes he is shallow, which anyone would find insulting, regardless of whether or not they actually are.

It's also possible that he doesn't like how he reacts to girls with large breasts, and that may even be part of the reason he wanted to study with Castela in the first place: He won't typically have the same difficulty talking to her.

And with her he could also study school lessons instead of something else.
