Okay tacking on my tags here and also I'm not done. Actually. I just didn't know which quote post I was gonna add this thought to, but, compilation

Like. Like. Emotions ARE running high, but this is absolutely by no means an impulse decision that's Purely emotion. He asks Bruno MULTIPLE times. He gives Bruno MULTIPLE chances to say something else. An opportunity to "come clean" (whatever that may mean). At very least, an opportunity to beg for his life. And as we all know, Bruno doesn't take it.

THIS. THIS. MAKES ME THINK OF FAFNIR. THE SHIT THAT WENT DOWN W FAFNIR. Fafnir made it Abundantly Clear. That there was no saving him, no convincing him otherwise, no talking him down or out of it. Fafnir gave the Order, gave Reginn, only One option. One way out.

Like aauaghhh I kinda wanna wait til I get to my more formal replays before searching for screenshots, but. Off the cuff. Alfonse has ALWAYS been calculated in this way. And Alfonse has ALWAYS. ALWAYS. Been ready AND willing to bring down the knife, himself.

ALSO. ALSO WORTH MENTIONING. AND THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS ADDITION I WANTED TO GET TO WHEN THESE DROPPED. Is that, Alfonse has ALWAYS been making quick snap decisions. From in the moment reads on his foes, to convoluted 4D chess plots. This is just the First, One and ONLY instance where Alfonse has to be stopped. Where Alfonse got it wrong. And can you blame him? He can only work with what information Bruno is giving him. And no matter HOW much he shuts off his emotions, like... there's no way there isn't at least a little bit of that. In there. When he's resolved to avenge his friend.

Unfortunately this isn't a formal analysis this is just be being insane about Alfonse Fire Emblem as always. BUT. BUT. YOU SEE. THE PIECES HERE. And ABSOLUTELY. You see how scary-accurate he gets, as his confidence grows. He flubs up once in the beginning and that's it. Like damn, no wonder Lif is Like That LMFAOOOOOO (LIKE. LIKE. STILL thinking there's A Way. If there's a Will there's A Way)

Yes, Kiran? What is it?

#fe alfonse #man should i have an actual infodump tag. i feel like maybe i should.#MAYBE. we'll see if i remember to use it or if it's inevitably phazed out LMFAOO #my infodumps #i cannot stop thinking about that jar fairy post. hashtag my twig :D #THAT'S HOW I FEEL LMFAOOO #BUT. REGARDLESS. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S MORE TO SAY. LIKE. something in the back of my mind #whenever i reference alfonse having to grow his confidence. i am Always. Always.#thinking about that exchange w gustav. where alfonse had to think fast and make a snap decision #and he was right. it fucking worked. he WAS right.#but he was still just. utterly berated by gustav for it. and you see it in every single line.#the way alfonse is beaten down from it. pulling apart that confidence piece by piece. shattering it and stamping it out #like man. it is going to be a category 1000 event for me. when i get there. i am always thinking about it.
