Is this a commentary on queercoding and gender expression in fire emblem or is it just about Ike and Soren?

“It’s a commentary”

You promise? It’s not just going to be Ike and Soren?

“Promise”

My queer AOD counsellor when they learned I was Catholic: 🫤🫤🫤

Having now played most of SoV, I don’t like Leon.

I tried man, I thought he’d be great.. but he’s so boring.

I cannot tell you a single personality trait this man has besides being gay. He joined the army for a man, that man dies, then another man provides him emotional support, and he decides to follow that man.

Unless I’m missing something he’s just an effeminate man, who is sassy in voice and personality, whose supports almost entirely revolve around his attraction to men.

That’s not,,, well rounded, that’s a stereotype.

There are other characters who do it better, both canon and fanon. Linhardt, Soren, Yuri, Niles. They’re all queer (or queer coded) characters whose personalities I can describe, and they all have more than just one driving factor that guides their story.

I want to complete it, i want to love what everyone adores in this game… But it falls short in comparison to other FE games.

At first I thought it was because it’s a remake of an older game but I’m adoring Thracia, Genealogy and Binding Blade. When I think of the other games there’s something that stands out as remarkable. Plot, characters, dialogue, supports, they’re all things that stick out as notable parts that make me enjoy the game. SoV just doesn’t have that for me, when I think about it all I like is the soundtrack and the art style.

When I think of SoV i just think of other games that did it better, it’s not to say it’s a bad game but.. I wish I could love it the way other people do.

***EDIT***

I’M SORRY WHAT??

RINEA IS JUST SOME RANDOM WOMAN AND HER ““Fiancé”” JUST OFFERS HER TO DUMA?? AND WHEN BERKUT (““fiancé””) DIES SHE USES THE LAST BITIF HER LIFE TO FORGIVE HIM???

*REFUSE*

To call her “Mill-Ah”

That’s stupid

Like first the hoops you gotta jump through to get to the scene are hard. But also the entire scene is effectively him begging you not to use him for sex, but that he will if you ask because that’s been his whole purpose.

In my family, anyone the same age as my parents are my aunties and uncles, Anyone the age of my siblings are also my siblings, and they all have authority over me because they’re older than me!

If someone is younger than me, I have authority over them!

But in a lot of white (Australian) families, only the bio parents have authority over the kids! What!?

I recently went to my partners nephews party and I couldn’t tell the kids to not scream inside, I couldn’t offer the kids help when they were upset, no one but these kids parents could offer mediation!!

When I was little I was raised and instructed by my whole family, I would seek support from everyone accordingly. My older cousins, my aunts, even my siblings friends, they were all older people who could direct me and also support me!

Like the way he’s written is so incredibly “I am 15 and mentally ill but no one can react negatively to my mental illness because I’m just mentally ill, why am I in a treatment program? Why do people walk on eggshells around me?” Like bro you couldn’t finish a bowl of cereal and you attempted in the kitchen with both your siblings in the house!! Your equally mentally ill sister found you!!

This boy has whole arguments with people over normal shit. In the main comic he argued with his mum because she went “maybe we should focus on our future, not our highschool boyfriend” and he blew up on her! Then in his and nicks book he blows up on his boyfriend because he wanted to go to a Uni that was like 2 hours away?? Catch the damn train??

Nick has panic attacks over Charlie’s mental health and ED. Does Charlie apologise?? No. Does he make any actual attempt to get better?? No! Does he instead complain about being in treatment and begrudgingly go along with what he’s told to do? Yes!!

Like god I would love to scream what happened to me, but people’s discomfort surrounding child abuse means victims have to stay quiet.

People suffer in silence because it’s inappropriate.
