just because a character did something you don't like doesn't mean it's actually out of character. characters are supposed to be messy and human. they're going to have flaws and they're going to mess up in ways that to some are irredeemable. no writing in the universe should be sanitized and spoon fed to the viewers, and no character in the universe should be watered down just to appeal to those who can't handle moral ambiguity in any form.

thinking sooooo hard about the removed akechi mementos request. not only because we got to see him Ace Detective-ing (peak!) but because the moral of it all is so. Akechi. very long rant incoming

one of the major things that I think sets him apart from the rest of the thieves is that he doesn’t believe that circumstances lessen the effects of actions. like at all. there are multiple examples of this but the cutscene during marukis fight where he’s the only one to keep attacking (and him being the only one to show outright disdain towards maruki in general) + the thieves den conversation with yusuke about shido / madarame (Y: “Perhaps there was a certain misstep in his life that eventually led him so astray.” A: “So you’re saying he may not have been truly evil? Your drivel’s as outlandish as always…”) are ones that stand out to me most. he doesn’t care about what causes bad people to be the way they are, and he doesn’t care what otherwise good people’s intentions are when they do bad things. the act itself is what matters

it goes without saying that this extends to himself, I mean he outright states that he cant comprehend the phantom thieves not just killing him after the engine room fight. he didn’t mean that as a “wow... I can’t believe you’re being so nice to little old me….” moment. it was him being genuinely confused as to why they’re still trying to get him on their side. because he didn’t say anything he said to gain pity points with them, nor does he think the things he said deserve enough pity points to spare his life

and then you have this mementos request. in which a corrupt diet member has a son with his mistress, who subsequently commits suicide, and then falsely accuses the son of a crime many years down the line. “you all want to help that poor victim, don’t you?” akechi says. the poor victim, who was enacting a revenge plot on his criminal father that made him into a criminal as well. huh.

again, this is all coming from the guy who like a month ago, got a heartfelt speech about how he can still come back from what he’s done because the thieves can understand where he’s coming from. this happens at (arguably) his emotional lowest, where it probably hits harder than it could at any other time. and this is his direct response to that. this is him saying, in essence, that their kind words at the end were nonsensical, because his circumstances Don’t Matter

after he sends these texts, morgana goes “But akechi is just like him…” because it’s true, but that’s the Point. It makes no difference that akechi can empathize, and place himself directly in toji’s shoes. he had a hunch about the truth the entire time, and he still aided in making toji’s act of extortion exposed. understanding the viewpoint of someone who does bad things Does Not Matter to him

and that, to me, is what his sense of justice is at it’s core. which is why in the end, he doesn’t have that same sympathy for himself that everyone else does. he killed people. end of story. no other notes

and my god! I really wish they kept this in because it really hammers in that extra layer he has to him. atlus do you hate me

isnt that what rape is though?? is it not rape to decieve and coherce someone into having sex with you?? or is that only applicable when you (TRAs) want it to be? like it's no different from moids condom stealthing. certain terms were expected and agreed upon and by not disclosing you are breaking those terms you are committing rape. you are raping someone. also sex workers are being harmed simply by virtue of being in the sex work industry. it is not a safe "industry" to be in point blank. the only real way to mitigate risk is by not doing it in the first place 🤷‍♀️

anyways, deceiving someone sexually in any way is rape. argue with the fucking wall.

Carian Sellen theory isn't without its benefits and interesting themes (like the whole "Carian fate is written in the stars" and Sellen first body being killed by Jerren only after Radahn's death) but on the other hand it kinda takes away sorcerers' diversity. I prefer Sellen NOT being a Carian because it brings up that the Royal Family and their family aren't the only ones who excell in the art of sorceries but the whole land of Liurnia is full of talents aside from Carians. Sure we have cool sorcerers of Sellian descent (Lusat and probably Gowry), some grandmasters of unknown cultural background (like Azur, though I headcanon him being of a mixed Liurnian/Northern descent); ever-apprentice Thops, the hidden jewel, who is Liurnian if we judge from his accent; and Sellen, who fits perfectly with representing simple Liurnian people. She's good enough to be considered a threat by Carians. I believe Sellen even managed to tie her fate to the stars as a part to her future ascension, the very first step to become a star herself. However, it is a whole different topic. I just think it is very cool to have as much interesting characters outside of main "Royal" factions as possible
