LIKE. I'm not saying Takumi Can't be mean, he absolutely can be mean. I def feel like his supports w Elise teeter on feeling too mean for my liking (but also the fact that it's Elise he's talking to could be a factor in why I feel that way like!!!!!!!! How are you gonna be mean to Elise 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔)

BUT. It does feel in line for him. ESP given the context that she's one of the princesses of Nohr. And maybe it feels A Bit better too, because Elise is being just as stubborn as he is, but in her own way for her own goal (wanting to befriend him). Even when it's clear Elise is hurt and disappointed, it just... doesn't feel as sad as it does with Felicia??? Maybe because of how she handles it as well.

ALSO I think the payoff for Takumi's fuck ups are ESPPP rewarding in Elise's convos, when he does apologize and make up with her. His supports with her are actually some of my favorites, they are SO sweet and so fun 🥺 (DYING when she calls him "kid" like. That is SO funny to me. Elise is just a brilliant character herself LMFAO)

Idk. I just think. They should have handled his supports w Felicia differently. He can still be mean, and it can even feel bad as an audience member looking at it, but I think if it had the right context/right payoff it would have been fine at worst and rewarding at best.

#fire emblem #getting off my soap box about it now LMFAOOOOOO #but i did wanna make it clear like. i am actually SO careful all of the time that i'm not idealizing asshole charas #like i do this a lot w alfonse/lif as well. where i'm constantly checking myself almost.#like if a chara has asshole tendencies. if they can come off cold or mean. it's important to acknowledge that #and important to honor it. give them space TO be that way. analyze why. bc that's EXTREMELY important.#it gives you SO much information about that character.#but also i could not tell you why charas like takumi alfonse and lif appeal to me so much #when characters like leo do nothing for me. like. he's there and he sure has trauma.#and also not to. dangeriously teeter on being a hater. but i have no patience or interest in charas like felix.#i really don't know what it is. this sort of inexplicable charm factor that just is or isn't there.#LIKE. EVEN BEYOND FE. arven is a BRILLIANT example of a chara who can be an ass #but the more you learn about him even BEFORE you learn about his dog like. you learn OH HE. has a BIG heart.#at least for me anyway the moment he called me 'little buddy' i could just tell oh he's. good actually. the charm.#IDK. ENOUGH. EXPLODE 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥#fe takumi #fe elise #fe felicia
