And Then Slayers There Ig - Blog Posts

lays down i am just so so so obssessed with the Millia/Zato/Venom love triangle i cant. i dont want any of those 2 to end up with Zato bc hes sucks major ass and makes their lives worse (said as a Zato Main), but its still SOOOO interesting like,,, 

Zato loving Millia, then hating her, and then basically making her his entire will to live and devoting himself to protecting her when she wants nothing more to move on from their past after fucking killing Zato because of the whole hating her and him trying to kill her over her being like “hey killing literal baby kings is fucked up man” and disliking the assassin life she had found herself in. that she has grown and learned to love herself again while Zato sank deeper and deeper into his own problems before deciding to make his happiness dependent on her which, oof! unhealthy. but such good drama.

and then theres Venom who started to hate Millia out of jealousy, who was just so devoted to Zato and following him that he became an assassin despite it being against his very nature–because while he is someone who comes off as stoic and robotic at times, hes very soft natured, empathetic, and hates blood.

 but he loves Zato, so he stays an assassin and in some endings takes the entire guild over…. and then when Zato is taken over by Eddie he goes out of his way to track them down and try to save Zato–in some endings either taking care of a comatose Zato or even taking on Eddie as a parasite instead

and its like… Zato will probably never love venom! not even that hes probably straight, but because Zato’s more concerned about himself and then later “protecting” Millia that he takes Venoms loyalty and devotion for granted whilst chasing after a woman who can’t love him back (and honestly is totally justified in NEVER loving him back) just yet because he’s not changed enough from what made her hate him in the first place

And all of them would be better off without each other–Venom gets a taste of it with his bakery and Roboky at least–but Zato (and somewhat) Venom just cant let who they want go!!

and then Venom even starts to decide he cant hate Millia anymore, not because of her actions, but because Zato’s dedicated himself to protecting her now and Venom in the end cares less about his own feelings and safety than he does about Zato–

just.

a solitude that asks for nothing in return.
