lmao was at a small social event at a colleague's home. conversation turned to video games. i drop the name fire emblem. turns out two guys present know the franchise. one of them has played three houses but only crimson flower, he's firmly on the left but somehow also seems convinced she was the good one for abolishing the nobility (anti-establishment/monarchy/capitalism etc) and fighting 'the monsters' (he has never played another fe game and is unfamiliar with their stories so to him monsters = bad). i disagree with him (in a normal way bc otherwise he's a nice guy). another guy asks for my opinion on her and the writing in general. cue me info dumping abt this game for 15 mins looking generally deranged.

#i was like the game has four routes and he didn't know bc he didn't know abt silver snow. also didn't know abt cf being much shorter #he was like hell yeah edelgard. i was like im a dimitri fan. he was like oh #bro you haven't even played his route 😭 so i told him abt dinitri's reforms etc #anyway i also said sometimes the writing between the routes doesnt seem to add up but it's bc characters have access to #different information. and it's not always the right information. so that's incongruity that makes sense.#but at other times. it's just lazy writing.#and also edelgard could've been a much more interesting character if they hadn't tried to make her moe and cater to #a very specific fire emblem player base demographic #curry rambles #i was dropping way too specific facts abt this game i felt like a wiki page fr.
