DWYER’S FINALLY COMING HOME

Entry 38: Jakob is Abusive

Paralogue 4: Fight or Flight

Jakob is heading to visit his son Dwyer when an army of purple ghost men show up. As the party fights off the invaders, Jakob chastises his son for staying back to heal the wounded instead of fighting the enemy. What. Since when is this Jakob’s personality? It’s especially dumb considering the fact that Dwyer is a troubadour and literally cannot attack.

This is a defeat the boss chapter where the boss starts right next to the party, meaning it can be beaten in one turn if you don’t care about EXP. I tried to play it the dev intended way, but the boss committed suicide on Reina. That was a fun chapter. I looked up Dwyer’s recruitment text online; Jakob is a dick to his son for being a medic and calls him lazy.

After the battle, Dwyer’s servants and caretakers all quit, which means we have to take him with us I guess. Side note, how much do we pay Jakob to buttle? Because he owns an entire mansion and hired a dozen servants to take care of his son.

As the chapter ends, an enemy sneaks up on Jakob and Dwyer slaps him in the face hard enough to kill him, earning his father’s respect.

Dwyer

Jakob’s son, a lazy, slobbish troubadour who sucks at being a butler. Except, his “laziness” is working as a medic, something vital for our army’s survival. Design wise he looks weird, with his sullen eyes and messy hair, but it works for his personality. His personal skill, Born Steward, makes him stronger in My Castle battles. It does nothing in normal battles, making it nearly useless.

In the past, I’ve used “Lord Corrin” and “Lady Corrin” for the different genders of Avatar. But, because we’re getting into the Supports where this actually matters more, I’ve decided to do what I did with Kana and give them different names. Female Corrin won the coin toss months ago, so she can have the name Corrin. For Male Corrin, I shall use a portmanteau of Man and Corrin that properly describes Corrin: Moron.

Support: Dwyer/Moron

C: Dwyer decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become an obsessively loyal servant to Corrin.

B: Dwyer bakes pastries, makes tea, and acts surprisingly competent. Corrin tells Dwyer that Dwyer doesn't work for him and Dwyer insists on serving. Dwyer announces he will climb a cliff to get mint for Corrin's tea.

A: Corrin goes out and gets the mint. Dwyer yells at Corrin for endangering himself and makes Corrin promise to stop being idiotic. Unfortunately, that's Corrin's entire personality.

Review: Not bad, but a bit odd. I was under the impression, from the Paralogue, that Dwyer was a lazy slob, not a carbon copy of his father.

Support: Corrin/Dwyer

C: Dwyer makes Corrin tea. It tastes like Jakob's, which annoys Dwyer, who wants to be better than his father.

B: Dwyer bakes Corrin cookies. Corrin tells Dwyer to relax and stop worrying about impressing her. Corrin asks Dwyer to treat her as an equal, Dwyer insists on buttling, and Corrin compromises by also being a butler.

A: Dwyer makes more tea for Corrin. Corrin tells him to stop competing with Jakob and gives him cookies she baked.

S: Dwyer proposes to Corrin, promising to always take care of her. Corrin says no, unless they have an equal partnership where she also does things for him.

Review: Corrin wanting to have an actual friendship with Dwyer, rather than a master-servant relationship, is nice. That said, this one is a bit repetitive. It’s also weird to have Corrin talk about wanting to be an equal with Dwyer and do her own laundry, considering that she is literal royalty. Like, you can’t have monarchs be just like everyone else and be relatable and also have them believe that they should have absolute power because everyone else is genetically inferior. Fire Emblem in general kinda glorifies monarchies, which isn’t great, but is also a problem found in almost all fantasy.

Support: Dwyer/Mother

C: Dwyer makes his mother coffee. His mother says it's better than Jakob’s and Dwyer says not to repeat that, because Jakob will get mad. It’s kinda uncomfortable how much Dwyer’s Supports revolve around Jakob being emotionally abusive.

B: Dwyer is depressed because he isn't suited for war because he hates fighting. His mother says that he should continue to be a child soldier, because it means he spends time with his family. Also that Dwyer is a selfless healer, but still.

A: Dwyer's mom apologizes for telling Dwyer to put himself in danger. Dwyer brushes it off, saying his friends will be in danger if he leaves.

Review: I’m really starting to feel bad for Dwyer. His parents are both awful to him. Focussing on this Support in particular, the C-Rank is disconnected and the B-Rank, where Dwyer’s mother guilts him into fighting in a brutal war, rubs me the wrong way.

Support: Dwyer/Jakob

C: Dwyer and Jakob both make coffee. Dwyer's is better, which anger's Jakob. B: Jakob makes some more coffee, which is still worse than Dwyers. Jakob decides to drag his son, who based on game mechanics cannot defend himself, to the field to spar. So we've moved to physical abuse. A: Dwyer says that he's glad he's been able to spend more time with his father. The two share a cup of coffee together.

Review: Weirdly enough, this one feels less horrible than past Supports, with Jakob being his fun snarky self and Dwyer matches him word for word. Still, Jakob acts absolutely horrible in this Support, insulting, gaslighting, and flat out beating his son for being better than him at making coffee.

Overall, this entry accomplished one thing: making one of my favorite characters an abusive prick.

Wed, Bed, Behead: Hisame, Dwyer, and Caeldori

Kiragi scratches his head and stares off in deep thought. “I would love to tuck Caeldori in bed… and maybe share my wedding with Dwyer!” He chuckles. “Ahh.. I don’t really know about beheading Hisame though…” He frowns.
