have to say also that the more time goes on the more rin’s whole promise to archer and her saying “i promise i’ll get him to love himself” kind of rubs me the wrong way. like i guess rin’s just going to spend her entire life being shirou’s emotional caretaker who nags him to take better care of himself then? Heaven’s Feel had Shirou organically develop that self love all on his own but i guess this is also a thing you could do.

Its kind of just slapping a band aid onto the problem of shirou’s near suicidal lack of regard for himself. like yeah its real bad that shirou keeps constantly endangering himself and running himself ragged for others and it’ll push him towards a destiny of ruin. but dont worry. rin’s got it handled. she’s just going to dedicate her life to staying with him and nudging him away from the archer path whenever he strays too close to it. that’s going to be her whole life, managing her high school boyfriends emotions for him.
