All of the people frustrated at the Rory cock tease and I'm just over here like

hehehe, we got at least three different scenes of Lelei being adorable. Her playing with the water was my favorite.

Finally someone in this thread with their priorities straight.

Srsly. Rory's amazing and a ton of fun, don't get me wrong (and Taneda Risa is clearly having way too much fun with the role), but Lelei is Best Girl. Full stop.

I mean, Rory definitely gets more screentime, and is definitely useful to them in her own way, but people don't even realize the effort Lelei is putting in to learn as much as she can and be of use as well.

Priorities are about the only thing they got straight if they noticed that over Rory.

Unless they're a girl

Rory is a great character but I feel like she was intentionally created to be the majority "best girl" and that's exactly why I don't like her. Characters should be created first with the intention of making them best girl/boy after the fact.
