Who said anything about sex? They can share the same bed and not have them having sex infront of the kids. The problem is that Lacus is detached of all emotion in almost her entire screentime and that shoulder thing is the closest thing out of any of her interactions that she may have feelings for Kira and that Kira didn't just settle for her because Fllay died.

Well, one of Flays and Kiras interactions involved sex. It was her way to manipulate him. But this being about Lacus: In most of her scenes with Kira it's pretty evident Lacus has feelings for him. The scene when they reunite on the Eternal in episode 39 comes to mind. Or back in SEED, where Lacus gave Kira that ring and begged him to return to her. That alone made it clear that she has feelings for Kira.

I also read in your 2008 post that this was retconned in the SE Movies. I hope that it doesn't carry over in the HD Remaster.

Andrew/Aisha: Was never seen kissing, lived together, was seen hugging, accepted as a couple. Kira/Lacus: Was never seen kissing, lived together, was seen hugging, not accepted as a couple. Sure, at that moment. Kira would probably still hallucinate if Mu's was the first face he saw after waking up. |

Actually, Mu and Murrue's relationship development is a lot closer to how real life relationships usually play out, military aspect aside. Not every relationship is full of deep philosophical moments and sappy shit--sometimes its just flirting and good times and spontaneity.

It is, again, a matter of how it was depicted. Starting out with a lot of ambiguous airheadedness, then... nothing, because she's not around. And then that's followed by caring for the wounded and "Let's stay like this forever" literally out of left field (even Kira's going "where the hell did that come from?" in his expression) and then... nothing, because she's, once again, not around. And then suddenly the tears and the hold me and the really, really jarring jumps in development and then suddenly in the end they're a couple.
And everyone's left going "What?" (except for the Japanese, who apparently eat this shit up.)

I don't remember Kira seeing Fllay through Lacus... Even if it did happen at least they didn't have Shinn see his sister or Stella through Lunamaria. That would have just been awkward considering that even with Stella he treated her like the sister that he lost.
Quote:
Lacus and Kira sorta just happened. Which they again did in Destiny when the best friends, Lunamaria and Shinn, suddenly get together after Athrun and Luna's sister are thought dead by Shinn's hand. The writers seemed unable to get the main lovers together in a realistic way after the first love died off. Such as Shinn being too focused of Stella's death and not noticing that Lunamaria can be more than just a best friend until after more people die and they're both grieving. |

You missed my point (and some of yours don't even make sense). My point is that it was handled really fucking badly as far as depictions go. It's made especially jarring given how we get better relationship development depictions from practically everyone fucking else, including Kira!
Quote:
Shinn and Luna at least have the excuse of them entering the relationship as bonding over a really hard time. Which is still diluted to fuck when you consider that the really hard time was Shinn killing her little sister and her crush for being traitors. That said, it's definitely not what you'd call a healthy relationship, though they seem to stabilize after finding out that Meyrin was indeed alive and well.

I wasn't comparing the two couples, so don't fucking put words in my mouth. I was pointing out that they actually gave a halfassed attempt at trying to depict it properly and it was still shit because of all the things they could've done to make them bond over a tough moment, they pick the one thing that wouldn't fucking work.
