#ah so salieri coming across as REALLY gay for him with his ‘hatred’ was totally on purpose right? lol

Now that I’m actually playing FGO for real, this line from Mozart about the fine line between love and hatred is really interesting with regards to Salieri. It further goes to show that he seems to recognize his hatred as love (granted, Salieri’s hatred isn’t really his fault, he got hit with a bad case of innocent monster and summoned as an avenger and he’s STILL bad at that, acting appalled that Mozart would ask him to kill him and make the rumors true. And his “hatred” really does come across more like love)

It’s also interesting that it sounds unrequited? The line in LB1 about how Salieri was close to him with his unrequited hatred sounds like love, especially given his views on love/hate. And Mozart also says a lot about how he himself is scum that gave himself entirely to music, so I don’t think he could truly return those feelings. The two of them are close but it’s complicated… He’s a pretty easygoing person and certainly seems to care about Salieri, and maybe would even let him indulge in his feelings a bit, but I don’t think he could truly return them…?
