Yeah, I think most of mine have been tortured or mained at some point, too...maybe not Magatsu and Kyo. Probably why they had to compensate in other ways.

The thing of it is...even if you're not an angst fan, unless it's pure a light, fluffy, contained thing, you need the angst to keep the momentum going, even if it's in doses. And if handled right, the smallest angst can go a long, long way.
