“---what.” oh gods, this is probably the worst case of whiplash the summoner has ever experienced--- and she’s less than thrilled to know it’s dimitri’s mouth that’s speaking such a... cursed statement. if cypher knew dealing with this was part of her job (as well as generally knowing a way to leave), she wouldn’t be here to even experience it in the first place.
ocean blues stare in utter disbelief and blink a few times. how in this gods forsaken world did he know that wording? she almost wants to ask, but is stopped moments before it leaves her lips by a startling realization--- he must have heard her talking to someone else to have learned something like that.
oh gods.
“actually, y’know what? don’t tell me. don’t explain yerself, i don’t care, jus’--- jus’ don’t say it ‘gain, got it?” this is it. this is how alfonse would finally kill her.
you all are not ready for this. i’m excluding the church route bc .... hhh fu ck the ch ur ch.
everybody is using the proper names to call the routes like crimson flower and azure moon but my mind is still like ...... BE and BL routes. i literally had to pause when i read the words ‘CF route’ i wa s like ‘oh and what the hell is this ???’. but onto the actual unpopular opinions.
1. CF specific: i don’t really have any unpopular opinions tbh. it should have had more chapters. and idk why they didn’t show the final campaign against TWSITD in-game but i’m banking that it’s actually meant to be DLC with extra chapters.
2. the conflicts in the three routes would have been more impactful if the house leaders had more interactions. they can’t even support with each other. aside from dimitri and edelgard who have a shared past, the relationship between the house leaders feels disconnected that when they do have to square off in certain battles it’s like .... oh ok i feel sad rather than a gut punch like it should, at least to me. ( this isn’t so much the case for dimitri and edelgard but it’s an issue with claude and the other two ).
3. Azure Moon: i LOVE the blue lions route. i do with all my dumb stupid dimitri loving heart ( he’s my favorite lord ). looking back at it, i realize the exploration of mental illness was pretty lackluster and underdeveloped. i mean, dimitri just suddenly got better which .... makes no goddamn sense bc that’s not how it works and also everyone forgave him suddenly ( and i personally didn’t like that as someone who themselves has a mental illness and has been on the receiving end of the negative actions of someone else’s mental illness ). but i figured that was the best we were gonna get, so i take what i can get.
i guess also concerning blue lions i just kinda wish ....... it wasn’t so hyper focused on dimitri. i love dimitri. i love being on this personal journey with him, but there’s quite a few things that suffer because of this focus. like ..... duscur should be about dimitri AND dedue but it’s not .... really about dedue which bums me out. DEDUE CAN DIE IN YOUR ROUTE IF YOU DON’T DO HIS PARALOGUE !!!! INTSYS HOW ARE YOU GONNA PUT IN DUSCUR AS A PLOT POINT BUT KILL OFF THE ONLY PERSON FROM THERE !!!! IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE !!!!
4. at this present moment i think golden deer is the best route ( which is apparently unpopular bc golden deer ranked last in the popularity poll ). i love claude and i love lore and i love ending discrimination and i love not having to get into twt debates about whether or not claude is a cool guy ( he is ). i also find that golden deer has the more interesting characters ( again, this is just to me ) across the board ( CLAUDE, marianne, lysithea, hilda, lorenz ).
i think a lot of this has to do with claude’s relationship with byleth. it really feels like more of a deep friendship ( or romance if you go that route ) that has developed well and that’s grounded in a dynamic that i find more refreshing. it’s the lord / byleth dynamic i enjoy the most.

Dimitri: Prince Charming? Haha, reaaally funny Claude :/
“Simply stating the truth, your Highness. Look at you. All of you.” Claude, in true ‘manlet’ fashion, has to look up to meet his deep blue eyes, and he does so with great abandon, rolling his neck up to crane it. He’s clearly joking, and his smirk doesn’t reach his eyes (it never does)---but all the same, his words are excessively flirtatious just to get under Dimitri’s skin. “All tall and blue-eyed and blond. Strong arms, face just as pretty as Edie’s. However do the Blue Lions focus on their lessons with such a Charming Prince around?”

run away. ( lmao )
what kind of prince flees from a lady?! “ dimitri, come back here! it’s not like i’m going to stomp on your foot again or anything --- ” at least that wasn’t her intention. though perhaps she should reconsider doing so once she catches him.
no, but that pathetic line hurt — that’s what she wants to say, anyway. it’s the oldest saying in the book, and one that she’s heard plenty of times before. honestly, she’s surprised he even had half the mind to say it to begin with. she’s beautiful, that much is certain. however, she never fancied herself to be his type. although, there was always the possibility that this was his way of trying to regain favor after having laughed at her in the library that one night. whichever it is, she isn’t sure.
annoyed as she may be, however…
“ oh, it definitely hurt. ” the words spill out with a playful lilt as plush rosettes curl into a smile. an all too devious, borderline malicious smile. she takes a step closer to him, silvery tresses shifting with the cant of her head. “ only because no one was there to catch me. ” she coos, index finger tapping thoughtfully against her chin. her gaze fixes on his as a giggle gently shakes her frame. “ i have to wonder though, dimitri… ” she pauses. the desire for dramatic effect aside, to also choose her next words carefully. while teasing him is fun, she doesn’t want him to take it too seriously. oh hell, no one ever won a game by playing too cautiously —
“ would you have caught me? or…will you catch me if i ever fall again? ”
time to see if she can make the leader of the pride squirm.
