on my fourth? fifth? blue lions replay

wish i had screencaps to help me sort this post out but alas, my ramblings will have to do. there’s insane insaneeeeeee amounts of foreshadowing for dimitri - whenever i do a replay i’m always a bit thrown off by how in your face it is. obviously there’s felix calling him a no-good, barely-human, more-boar-than-being prince, but felix is also an asshole. case dismissed

i’m only at chapter 4, post-lonato, and seeing dimitri console ashe while simultaneously mourning the loss of innocent civilians via his hand knowing what happens after the timeskip… bizarre. it’s so two-sided too; if one was to go into the game completely blind, they’d think dimitri would clearly take the right path

he talks about all this unnecessary destruction and unneeded killing and then, well… 😅
