Much as I enjoyed the Discworld books, sometimes they go for a pithy quote over an actual truth. This is one of those times.

For a short while until she died horribly from doing something terminally unwise, sure. There are a lot of starry-eyed fools in those books that are only mentioned as punchlines.

You're missing the point, and since you're already being rude as hell making this a personal attack for no reason, I'm just going to say outright that you're probably missing the point on purpose.

It's got nothing to do with me. I'm not involved. I'm not the one who's going to force her. Decent chance it's not even a specific person who forces her.

But lasting relationships take work, and a degree of sacrifice. You can't run one on romance alone, any more than you can have a healthy diet of pure fondant.

If this works out for her, it'll only be because this is a rom-com, and as fictional as the Discworld.
You're the one that said "It's not optional." You're the one that insist they have to live a certain way and have a certain type of relationship.

This is about you forcing them to live how you think they should.

There are different types of people and different types of relationships. Leave the kids alone and let them figure it out for themselves.

God, I really hate to be negative about this, but I can't help but feel like this series is spinning its wheels a little bit. This feels like a chapter that should've been in an earlier volume.

It doesn't really seem like anything major has happened for awhile. It's still just the same overarching threat: her graduation.

I love slow burns, but it stops feeling like a good "Will they, won't they" if the only stopping the "Will they" is the author. 😭

Guys, let's not argue Discworld here, that's way too nerdy even for us.
We might as well just go buy a comic book store and learn a fictional LOTR language to ensure we leave no descendants.
EEEEEEeeeeeee! I'm in. Let's debate Discworld gods AND learn Quenya. Also, I have 3 descendants, who are currently being read The Hobbit as a softcore introduction the Important Nerdly Things.

It would kinda fit the theme of romance theme though. Not everything works out how we want it to. It's important to live in the moment and they've had something special the entire time.

It's also kinda ironic that the person who talks about romance and whimsy so much is also the one purposefully kneecapping their own romance.

Don't get me wrong, I'm also frustrated that they're both being silly about this. But if they don't end up together they still had an unforgettable time together in the Hyper Go Home Club.

I'll be honest, and I know it's kind of a mean thing to say, but I think KyoAni has fallen off, particularly since they don't do cute SoL anime like this anymore.
A high percentage of them were murdered by being burned to death. This year, their co-founder passed away.

They're starting to ramp back up into full new productions now. Even if you don't like Sparks of Tomorrow, it has incredible animation. As for cute slice of life, they'll be doing the anime for Ruri Dragon.

Ruri dragon is making a sharp turn towards urban fantasy battle shonen, and it hasn't felt like a SoL for a while now, I did forget about City, so I think I'll give it a look later, saw about 2-3 chapters of sparks of tomorrow and I just started feeling like I wasn't the target audience, so choose to drop it.

I'm not forcing them to do anything. I'm describing what's going to happen. This thing you're doing here is called "shooting the messenger" and we have a proverb about how you're not supposed to do it.

Like really. Do you get mad at the weatherman for predicting rain? Do you think Sir Isaac Newton is the reason we have gravity?

Dude... you know what, sure. I promise you that I will never force them to do anything whatsoever. I will never so much as visit their town, which will be an easy promise to keep, because I am not on the same plane of existence as these fictional characters. You happy now?

Aw that's solo cute. I'll say that it's not just the thought that counts. Yes communicating like they do is inconvenient, but it is special, and the thing about convenience is that once we have it it is hard not to partake in it. It's like a promise to do things the harder ways that's also more meaningful for each of them.

I just don’t get it. You can have her number for when you can’t reach her, and still do their ‘romantic’ things like postcards and letters. This isn’t an either or type of situation, you can walk AND chew bubblegum!
What happens when you wanna talk to your crush but you can't? You pine for them. Being always able to talk to them really puts a damper on potential pining
