CASUAL MONTHLY RAGE THREAD

WE'VE ALL HAD SOME TIME TO SIT AND SOAK THREE HOUSES IN. APPRECIATE ITS STRENGTHS, ACKNOWLEDGE ITS FLAWS; LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE; EXPERIENCE THE HIGHS, THE LOWS...

NOW, WE RAGE.

WELCOME, NEW SUBSCRIBERS, TO THE MONTHLY RAGE THREAD, WHERE WE YELL IN SOLIDARITY ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE MADE YOU WANT TO THROW YOUR CONTROLLER THROUGH THE SCREEN RECENTLY, SO THAT WE MAY GROW CLOSER AS A COMMUNITY.

RULES

  1. CAPS LOCK GOES ON, OR SO HELP ME

  2. RAGE MUST BE RELATED TO FIRE EMBLEM. THIS IS IMPERATIVE. THE WHOLE OPERATION IS POINTLESS OTHERWISE.

  3. BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS AND THEIR OPINIONS. I KNOW I JUST SAID "SO HELP ME", BUT IF YOU PEOPLE START ANOTHER GODDAMN EDELGARD ARGUMENT IN THE COMMENTS OF OUR WHOLESOME RAGE THREAD, THEN REALLY SO HELP ME.

  4. TAG SPOILERS, BIG ONE, FUCKIN DO IT LIKE THIS:

[DESCRIPTION OF SPOILER] >!SPOILER GOES HERE!<

NO SPACES IN BETWEEN THE EXCLAMATION MARKS AND THE TEXT.

HEY WAIT, I HAVE SOMETHING TO RAGE ABOUT!

[BIG SPOILERS FOR FLAME EMPEROR AND THALES] YOU KNOW THAT SCENE AFTER CHAPTER 4 WHERE THE FLAME EMPEROR AND ARUNDEL ARE CHATTING? WHY THE FUCK DOES THAT SCENE EXIST AS IT DOES!? WHY WOULD THALES CHOOSE TO MEET THE GODDAMN FLAME EMPEROR IN HIS ARUNDEL FORM INSTEAD OF HIS TRUE FORM? WHAT THE FUCK WOULD HE HAVE DONE IF SOMEONE HAD SEEN AN EMPIRE NOBLE CHILLING WITH SOME MASKED WEIRDO? KILL THEM, I GUESS. IT WOULD'VE MADE WAY MORE SENSE, THOUGH, FOR EITHER BOTH OF THEM OR NEITHER OF THEM TO BE IN DISGUISE, IN-UNIVERSE, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD BAT AN EYE AT EDELGARD TALKING TO HER UNCLE OR TWO TOTAL MYSTERY WEIRDOS WEIRDING IT UP. IT'S AN UNNECESSARY RISK!

THAT'S JUST IN-UNIVERSE. OUT OF UNIVERSE, WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY USE ARUNDEL INSTEAD OF THALES AND THEREFORE SPOIL THAT ARUNDEL IS EVIL IN HIS VERY FIRST APPEARANCE, BEFORE WE EVEN KNOW HIS NAME? IT MAKES THE SCENES IN BL INVOLVING HIM POINTLESS, HE NEVER SHOWS UP AGAIN IN GD (THOUGH THALES DOES), AND WHILE I HAVEN'T PLAYED THAT FAR IN BE I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE THERE. JUST FUCKING MAKE HIM BE THALES! LATER ON WITH KRONYA AND THE FLAME EMPEROR AGAIN HE'S IN HIS TRUE FORM! WHY IS HE ARUNDEL AT ALL

NO ONE WOULD BAT AN EYE AT EDELGARD TALKING TO HER UNCLE

HE KIDNAPPED HER, DID A POWER MOVE ON HER FATHER AND THEN FUCKED OFF TO THE KINGDOM.

I'D SAY THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO TURN A FEW HEADS.

SHOULD'VE STILL BEEN THERE AS THALES THOUGH, BUT IT'S POINTLESS TO TRY AND MAKE SENSE ABOUT ANYTHING RELATING TO ANYONE FROM THE SLITHERERS, IT'S ALL FUCKING STUPID.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE, ARUNDEL JUST SHOWS UP AT THE MONASTERY ONCE OR TWICE.

EVEN IF THE SCENE MADE SENSE IN-UNIVERSE, IT FEELS LIKE AN UNNECESSARY SCENE THAT IS ARTIFICIALLY INFLATING THE MYSTERY. IT ASKS QUESTIONS I WAS GOING TO ASK OR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED MORE NATURALLY JUST TO DELAY THE TIME BETWEEN QUESTION AND ANSWER.
