Talestober 2023 Day 12: I'll Protect You!
Tumblr media
Asbel moved before Lambda or Richard or anyone else could stop him. This was the moment he'd been waiting for, the chance to make up for everything. He had sworn he would protect Richard as his shield.
But that didn't make him invulnerable like one.
--
Who else could I pick for this but Asbel? What with 3/4 of his personality being PROTECC mode, he's my go-to whumpee and angst magnet. Though that didn't stop me from wincing the entire time I drew this.

What if Lambda can split his power and possess two people at the same time?
AKA my excuse to draw RichAss being evil together

for real tho, i actually... love the way richard's yandere shit was handled?
most media romanticizes the shit out of yanderes (either through the characters or the storytelling putting a heavy focus on it being romantic). it's seen as this thing that's worth admiring because it exists out of true love and shit.
though richard was possessed, what the possession effectively did was elevate his feelings in a way that resulted in him being wholly aggressive even if that response didn't match his feelings or behavior from two seconds ago. it took good feelings that he would not act violently upon and pushed them over the edge. it also took situations happening to him and warped them into the most negative way possible, and it's always when bad things happen to him.
in richard's mind, this bad thing that happened to him isn't fair, why is he suffering and being hurt, he didn't do anything wrong, it's the people who hurt him who should suffer. so with that mindset, he does things wrong with the heightened emotional responses from lambda's possession. they're things he never would normally do.
so, when asbel's friends and family are involved in any way, richard is now viewing it under the lens of "they're trying to take him/another thing away from me". his response to that is to destroy the problem and keep asbel with him... until asbel can't handle that anymore and doesn't want his friends being killed.
richard immediately takes that as a betrayal, and a betrayal of his most precious friendship, after the sheer fucking onslaught of bullshit he has put up with for most of his life and the shit that just went down with his uncle. the people who cared about richard are terrified. asbel, who cared about him more than anyone and even left his home for seven years to become a knight in richard's service - asbel, who basically ran straight to richard when he was kicked out of his home unceremoniously by his own brother - is terrified.
on that note, let me put into perspective the fact that, technically, politically, richard was well within his right to handle hubert the way he did. by hubert "helping" lhant, lhant is now is a situation where it owes fendel. in a sense, you could argue this was an invasion by fendel (and looking at it through richard's currently skewed perspective, he very well could use that justification for an attack). lhant is within richard's territory, so by getting involved in any way, hubert is threatening richard's rule over lhant. normally, richard would solve this diplomatically, but in his current state, he won't and can't.
that said, asbel would have been fully on board with handling things if richard wasn't demanding an attack to solve the problem. as far as asbel was concerned, even when richard's sanity was getting worse, he was still loyal first and foremost to richard over anyone - and understandably, seeing as his family just yeeted him out (and let's face it, all his mother did was cry about it and didn't even try to help him or give him any means of surviving. he was kicked out on the spot and his mother just cried about it) and richard was the one who took him in without question or a second thought and had him by his side during the most important moments for his impending reign - fighting the rebels back and defeating cedric.
for richard, considering the above, there is zero reason asbel even has to defend lhant at this point. they threw him away and didn't want him back, while richard did want him and did care about him. for asbel to "betray" him for the very mcfucking people who forced him out of his home on immediate notice? that was the breaking point for him because it was the worst betrayal he'd ever faced. it was the most painful and it was why he finally completely snapped.
prior to that, richard was going off the deep end, but for the most part, calmly. aggressively and snappily sometimes, but he was not actively losing his shit when he made the plans to attack lhant. it was asbel's betrayal that made him give up on everything.
and you know what? most media would've been like wow that's so romantic! such dedication! is it possible it's because richard is not a woman and thus it's not seen as some kind of violence born out of a pure love? probably, in mcfuckin' fact!!! but take, idk, say, mirai nikki for instance. put them in that situation. asbel would have sided with richard and decided that all of his killing was valid because it was for him. at first in mirai nikki, the killing is seen as terrifying... until shit happens and the mc decides love conquers all and that it was for him so it was all valid. translated to graces, richard loved him and so there can be no wrong done by the hands of someone who does something for love. he was terrified at first but learned the error of his ways and realized richard was right all along and just wanted asbel to be safe and happy.
and that leads me to my next point: "I did it for you, Asbel". not my words! they literally pulled the most traditional yandere trope ever of gaslighting! despite all his pain and hurt on top of it, they could've argued that he was putting his love for asbel above his own hurt. he attacked lhant for asbel, because the people in charge of lhant hurt him. they threw him away. tossed him aside because he wasn't good enough for them. the same shit richard's family did to him. in richard's mind, by all rights, there is negative fucking reason for asbel to choose them over him.
but he did, because it was too much for him. hubert was his brother, and an attack on lhant endangered the citizens who had nothing to do with asbel being thrown out. asbel did everything for richard recently up until this point, so now for richard it becomes "you were on my side all this time, but when i try to protect you from these horrible people, you turn on me? for them?"
part of it was because this wasn't the richard he knew anymore, but that in and of itself didn't make asbel give up on him. he spent the entire fucking rest of the game thinking and worrying about him. even when it came down to "what if i have to kill him", he struggled. he kept resorting to "have to save him".
if this were going for a typical handling of a yandere, asbel would have been thanking him. grateful that richard loved him and "did it for him" - which is not necessarily untrue in richard's case, but it's the extreme measures taken that would often have one side eying the media in question for having someone be like oh wow that's so nice of you!
so tldr; i love how they handled the yandere aspect of richard's arc. due to the possession it could still be argued that it was never his fault, but richard himself still feels awful about it and strives to atone for it post game (or in the tacked on f arc). even he himself doesn't justify all the attempted murder he did because of his elevated emotions. even he doesn't justify it in his sane mind as "it was still for you though". the fact that he even recognizes that and accepts that if it was for asbel and asbel's peace of mind, he would have considered asbel's feelings on it in the first place, is such a contrast to what that kind of story usually goes for. richard's feelings for asbel could've been used as "too important for asbel to leave him for people who broke his (asbel's) heart", and they could have just made hubert the villain.
i am saying it is refreshing storytelling for the yandere trope my dudes.

His heart leapt when his eyes met Asbela’s and a familiarity he hardly understood rushed over him, nearly strong enough to knock him off his feet. That was him. That was the man that lived in his dreams.

you cannot reasonably tell me it's simply a coincidence that
in richard's new year's outfit, he has a ribbon thingy in his hair that's identical in color to asbel's hair
richard's white day asteria alt is holding blue flowers. blue. on white day.
richard is holding a blue gift box in a chat banner while standing Usually Close to asbel with flowers between them
richard somehow always seems to match his accessories to asbel's hair and eyes
anyway good for him good for him im very happy for him that he knows where his priorities lie
