Roy and Diana, main characters of Symbiosis seasons!

What's the history between these two, I wonder...

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

So! What's your 🔥 take for Raphael? I'm interested in hearing your overall opinion about him, really.

(feel i always gotta preface these things with a "i dunno if this is really a hot take but it's my take so yeah" sticker lmao but ye)

I really like that among the cast he's the only one (that I can readily think of) that both has a tragic backstory but it still allowed to be a simple character. Even other "simple" characters like Caspar have supports that show them going through some sort of conflict, but Raphael is just. Chill. Very chill. It makes him a really good bouncing board for characters to feel comfortable around while still managing to have a distinct personality of his own, and also lowkey makes him come off as kinda mature imo?? Like he still has his worries but he feels like he's got most things in his life figured out already. He also has massive Big Bro vibes which are a big plus

what do you think of cyril?

My sunshine. My ray of light. My son. My child. My can-do-no wrong baby. My scrunkly. My schmoopie. My pookie. I wuv him he needs a bowl of soup and a nap.

I think the Edelgard/Claude are friends/compatible headcanon is partly responsible for her stans misreading the library scene in VW. The other is teacher theory. She 1. tries to assassinate him than 2. tries to dig up information that could get him removed from his inheritance- and she even states that would basically destroy the Alliance! No way she was there to find out if he was "trustworthy". She was there to blackmail him or out him. Good luck being friends with him after trying to out him.

How Edelstans interpret the library scene baffles me so much, like it’s very clearly another instance of someone not trusting Claude and trying to find out his secrets, it’s the game actually trying to show that Claude’s circumstances are strange to others and that he has to deal with random bitches questioning him outta nowhere (she literally butts into his conversation with Byleth just to question him and does so when it looks like he’s about to spill some beans about himself) and like you said on Edelgard’s end it was damn sure her trying to kick him out the running when her assassination plan doesn’t pan out, but APPARENTLY either 1) Claude was the one completely in the wrong for not answering personal questions from this near stranger and he was partially to blame for the war starting for not giving his trust to, again, this near stranger who randomly started to interrogate him and/or 2) he tried to get her to SwEAr FeALty to him and it ACTUALLY shows that HE’S a villain, not Edelgard

Here’s all that Edelgard does before and after that scene regarding Claude that we as players who’ve played the entire route know:

try to have him fucking killed

tell him that his random presence was the only thing keeping the Alliance afloat

call him a fool in the Holy Tomb when he calls her out for trying to steal the Crest Stones (look at that friendship they have!)

tell him to his face that she needs to kill him to achieve her righteous dream (her words, not mine)

But nah, we’re supposed to believe that this specific moment was where Edelgard was trying to reach out a hand in friendship, which apparently involves reminding the person you’re trying to befriend of the shit situation their nation was in and is still trying to recover from. Something something Teach Theory something something Claude’s the real imperialist/villain something something Edelgard suffered alone cuz no one helped her. Right.
