OKAY FINAL THOUGHT FOR REAL BC I FEEL LIKE. IT'S A WORTHY ADDITION. I feel like I actually wouldn't be drawn to Lif in the first place were he not a distorted mirror of Alfonse. Like. I think about this SO much actually and I'd love to express it in some comics too, but, I literally think if Lif Wasn't Alfonse I would just think. "Oh that design FUCKS!" And I do think I'd like him, generally, as a character separate from Alfonse. If he was (for example) literally the ancestor Lif he presented himself to be. I'd think he's cool and I'd probably enjoy him. Even if he kept the asshole tendencies. Like. Understandable, you're undead. It's fine.

But I Don't think I'd be like. ANYWHERE as insane about him if he wasn't Alfonse. If there were no traces of Alfonse in him, and if there were no traces of LIF in Alfonse. LIKE. THAT'S WHAT GETS ME. Lif ISN'T just a remnant of who he used to be, of someone he wishes SO badly to bury, of someone who's still so painfully there, in every action he takes. Alfonse isn't just One Mistake from becoming Lif, either, though that's what he says (but is that what he believes?). Alfonse IS Lif. Just as much as Lif is still Alfonse. FUCKED UP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

#fire emblem #I CAN NEVER CAPTURE IT!!!!! WHEN I TRY TO EXPRESS IT!!!!!!! BUT THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME!!!!!!!! YOU CAN FUCKING SEE IT!!!!!!#like lif didn't just spawn out of no where. he IS the guy who threatened to kill the god of death in 8 days (9 to live)#and like if you factor in actions alfonse has taken since book 3. like his letizia moment.#like. that is the same fucking guy. who WOULD make contracts w gods to figure out his next course of action #AS LONG AS he believes it WILL aid him in achieving his goal. these are the cards he's dealt. he WILL use them.#LIKE. HE'S SO INSANE. and he's SO meticulous and intentional. he's fucking scary actually.#i just think he's insanely funny too like. depending on the situation he will a) kill god b) make a contract w god #or c) work side by side w a god. anything that will make his goal attainable. he'll do it.#AND it's not that he's flimsey or inconsistent actually he is the COMPLETE opposite.#he has his eyes set STRAIGHT forward and he is unshakable. he's SO fucked up actually.#i would not want to be his enemy LMFAOOOOOOOOOO #fe alfonse #fe lif
