i do not understand the name switching thing... where did that come from?
#.text#yes. this IS about asch and luke.#i know i havent even scratched the bottom of the barrel in terms of whats out there for this game bc. it did come out in like 2006#im almost 20 years behind. but still. ive seen a few people talk & write about the two switching their names n u know. no.#it feels. weirdly out of character and it feels like its ignoring the themes of the game. u know?#luke is luke. he is not Luke but he is luke. that is His name. and asch is asch. he was Luke but he isnt Luke anymore.#i dont think names mean much to luke. he knows who he is and who he wants to be. it wouldnt matter to him what name he goes by#because he would still be himself. he knows that. but i think it Would matter to asch. everything is in a name to him. and his name#is asch because he isnt luke anymore. luke is the little boy who was kidnapped and replaced at the age of 10. he was the little boy#who was to weak to stop van from manipulating him and he was the little boy who could do nothing to tell his mom that he hadnt#come home yet. he is asch and asch is Stronger. more defined and more himself. even if he doesnt really know who He is yet#theyre different like that. mirrors. just like so much else.#if its about asch calling himself 'luke fon fabre' before his final fight... its still wrong sorry. i dont think he'd have any desire to be#luke again because he isnt luke and now to him luke is this annoying replica who keeps trying his damn best to make sure asch lives#and keeps dragging him home even though asch doesnt understand any of it. at this point to asch luke is this stupid#7 year old boy who is weak and too fucking pathetic to be HIS replica.#and i think luke would think taking asch's name is. invasive. its not Right. because thats asch's name. he isnt stupif enough not to be#aware that the name 'asch' is symbolic. the charred remains of the sacred flame. taking that name would be like. forsaking#everything asch had gone through. does this make sense.#i think about them too much. i have essays written for hypothetical situations nobody will ask me about.#when in all honesty this phenomenon is few and far between on this site and ao3 and is more likely more prevelant on ff net#which i do not frequent. yet.#tho. i do think. if luke ever offered or asked asch if he wanted to go by luke again. asch would appreciate the gesture a lot.#like u know. he is standoff-ish and mean and especially to luke. but it would be like. positive relationship points in luke's favor.#wow im so right. i should put that in my time travel fic.#tales of the abyss
