The only thing that annoys me in fan fiction is readers demanding to be spoiled or not paying attention to explanations. Notably Sakura in swords and sorcery, she wasn't raped, that would be internally inconsistent with not only the established power level given but with the theme of the event in general. It's not blindingly obvious because I don't like exposition being literally a mood killer.

No no no no you said she was raped. You pretty much explicitly spelled that out.

That doesn't always mean it's true. Lantz's stuff has a first-person narrator, so all you know is what the narrator believes to be true.

No, because it is shown to him, he even says he saw it.

Was she raped or not? That is like one of her gimmicks.

Quote from: Of Swords And Sorcery
I remember the sight of Gilgamesh violating my Aunt Sakura as he snapped my little sister's neck like a twig

Yep, raped.

First person narrative is not reliable Arch, the difference between first and third is massive, so much so that the whole difference was spelled out on bl when discussing Sakura and her dark state. So no, she was not raped. He just thought she was. It was an act.

you seem to misunderstand gilgamesh

If he was trying to traumatize a boy with the picture of his glorious self fucking the boy's aunt senseless, he wouldn't pretend to do it.

He'd just do it.

Exactly. Gil doesn't fuck around when he's actually giving a shit. He'd just rape her (though why he'd want Shinji's sloppy seconds is beyond me)

No, I don't, I just know the difference between canon and the events that happen to change him. This Gil is not unlike Ko Gil

you mean the ko-gil who knows how to let go of things like grudges and doesn't ever really want to start a fight?

@ Arch: I meant more that Gil has a thing against faking, shams, and, well...

Pretenders.
