#bc i dislike a decent amount of takes and fanon

[nine-fingered-entity]

character bingo on klavier bc i see you talking about him a lot and i think his name is funny

i’m still not over his name. it’s so dumb. his name is “piano” (in German. he’s German.) and he plays the guitar. and this is not a normal German name. his brother has a normal German name. I just want to know what translator did that so i can ask them why.

his hair makes no sense (its like, a twist? this bothers me) and the necklace is ugly but the rest of the outfit kind of is a look. i’d wear it. i already got the boots.

more seriously: klav is Such an interesting Guy i just dislike a lot of the fanon interpretations of him i've seen. i don't think he had a crush on Apollo at first meeting (even if it's fun to meme about). apollo got his brother sent to prison under incredibly shady circumstances! he has a shady vibe. klav's suspicious of apollo and his intentions for most of AA4, and that's why the game works. they do not like eachother for most of the game, which is honestly way more fun.

i also dislike some things i've seen that like say Klav needed to be saved from evil abusive Kristoph by Apollo, which is the lamest interpretation and removes so much of what makes Klav interesting??? like the Klav/Kristoph thing is so much more interesting and nuanced and real to me if they had a decent brotherly relationship. like there's still issues, but they're brothers! and they got along! and Kristoph does it to Klav anyways!

klav is more than just a pretty flirt i swear to god the man is a conniving control freak who is haunted by 7 years ago and a truth he knows but he refuses to acknowledge

aa5 and aa6 did him dirty by not providing ANY followup to Turnabout Succession. dont get me started. like i'm glad we get to see him in aa5 briefly but, like a lot of things in aa4-aa6 there is wasted potential for interesting arcs and character development. if they ever port aa4-aa6 to switch, i hope they add a 5th case to aa4 to try and fill in the gaps. they did it for the OG trilogy they can do it again. (they won't but I can dream.)

anyways he is a scrunkly blorbo i am writing a fic from his POV and it has been fun and frustrating he's such a guy.

the difficulty of being unable to decide who i actually want elain with lol. my thoughts look like:

elucien:

i enjoy lucien as a character more than az

i think the fanon interpretation of a future relationship between elain and lucien is 🤌 and everything i want

elriel:

there hasn’t been enough interaction between elain and lucien for me to actually ship them in their current state bc i feel like i don’t actually know how they are together 😕 but there has been elriel interactions that make me 🥰

the scenes elain and az have together are like gravity, they pull me in and they take over the entire scene even if they’re in the background

part of me also wants elriel just bc of how hateful some people have been in this ship war and and i don’t want the g side to “win” bc i hate how they (not all of them, but a decent amount) talk about elain and minimize her presence/contributions to the story

anyways, all i know 100% is that i want elain’s book next and that i think her book is next. i don’t dislike any characters involved in these ships (i actually like all of them a lot, including g but i’m not typing her name bc i don’t want her fans after me). but yea i’m feeling the struggle of liking both ships haha
