I'm going to *remembers suicide is often not a desire for death itself but rather an attempt to radically change one's life because the current state of being has become unbearable but the person can't think of any way to change it other than death* kill myself

But seriously, if you keep pushing yourself past your mental or physical limits, it will catch up with you. You cannot live forever on three hours of sleep and caffeine and willpower. You cannot keep overpowering your very natural need to relax and recharge. If you don't treat both with care and respect, at some point your brain and your body will reach a point of breakdown and burnout - and any mental or physical conditions you may have tried to ignore and power through will kick your ass. So take that goddamn nap or that break now. Don't wait for yourself to shatter and fall apart before you tend to the cracks in your body and mind. Just because you may have the choice to ignore your limits right now doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Take care of yourself now or you WILL regret it.

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like

Finn not leading a massive stormtrooper rebellion and inspiring them to fight back against the First order who kidnapped and brainwashed them, will always be one of the most wasted potential arcs and plots in modern film history.

It’s just all clicking into place.

The Kingdom’s culture promotes the idea of living without regrets. As @randomnameless pointed out, in the Japanese script the way of it’s renowned knights is to follow your heart and the justice that you believe in, and Annette will point out in Wind how there’s a belief there that people who die with regrets will suffer underground from them.

Now think about Dimitri. Dimitri knew the people of Duscur were innocent, that what the Kingdom was doing to them sure as fuck wasn’t justice. Even the Church’s teaching about it being okay to kill with reason wouldn’t work here because Dimitri knew there was no real reason to go after Duscur. But Dimitri lacked evidence. He was sent by Rufus to help put down a rebellion while fighting a general involved in the Tragedy. But at the same time, Dimitri did something he viewed as wrong by killing others even if it was punishing bad guys. This is where something in Dimitri broke and he scared Felix into pissing himself. Dimitri came to Garreg Mach in order to investigate the truth and bring the real perpetrators to justice and clear the people of Duscur’s name. But Dimitri is still suicidal in part because of this past and his actions, believing himself a monster because of them. His character growth in Moon is him learning to not live for the dead but for himself, doing what he believes is right. He attempts to talk to Edelgard about the war to solve things peacefully, and on top of that realizes that he actually wants the duties and responsibilities of a king in order to help people.

And it’s not just Dimitri in the BL house. Felix and Ingrid have different endings in AM than the rest of the game. We know Felix in Flower views himself as a monster over his father’s death and will mourn Dimitri while wondering if he could have saved him, and Ingrid doesn’t follow her dreams of being a knight and instead manages her family’s territory and it’s noted in her ending with Ashe she isn’t received warmly by the people she left, spending her life working for their sake. Felix loses his sword-arm in their paired ending in Moon saving her, and is said to not regret it.

Dedue returns to Duscur without the sadness caused by Dimitri’s death in SS and VW.

Sylvain regretted what lacking a Crest did to Miklan, so he worked towards making it so that Crests and Relics weren’t seen as necessary. In addition, he improves relations with Sreng, which makes sense in light of Hopes revealing they killed Miklan’s mother.

Annette can only bring her father home in Azure Moon.

Mercedes gets an extra scene during Emile’s death only in Azure Moon, making it so he doesn’t die as the Death Knight with his helmet removed. Kinda like Darth Vader dying as Anakin Skywalker at the end of Jedi.

Ashe quits working for House Rowe when they become a vassal to the Empire according to his bio, so he isn’t recruited as a turncoat. (randomnamless: His ending with Caspar confirms they hold the same views on justice, and Ashe is trying to live up to his ideal as a kingdom knight. Just more proof that Caspar is what the kingdom knights idolize). In his AM ending with Ingrid, they both go down in history as peerless knights serving Dimitri.

Rhea won’t die under any circumstance in Moon, so Catherine and Cyril are able to save her.

(Also this tidbit about Catherine’s solo ending if Rhea dies really shows that she isn’t the monster people accuse her of being “Catherine left the Knights of Seiros and set out to travel across Fódlan. With Thunderbrand in hand, she wandered the countryside, seeking always to defend the innocent and punish the wicked. Her many years of heroics ensured that she would always be remembered by the people as a beloved folk hero.”)

AG wanting to look at the Knight culture of the Kingdom also makes sense of the ending. Dimitri was a hero until the defeat of Thales, as evidenced by the light symbolism (or rather, Shez’s influence not bringing about a dark dawn). But his dawn of darkness is coming, he’s going to wage a punitive campaign against the Empire over the war, believing that it’s justice even though they were manipulated. And when you consider what happened to Duscur when they were accused of killing Lambert and now the people knowing that forces within the Empire were involved? And Rhea isn’t going to be around to broker a peace if Claude manages to assassinate her. Despite being the One-Eyed Demon post-timeskip in Houses (Bar Flower), Dimitri was still seen as a folk hero for his actions against the Empire. Dimitri is always a heroic figure of sorts within Houses, but in the ending of Gleam he lives long enough to see himself become the villain because Dimitri is going to end up doing what he believes is right.

In a sick way, he becomes like Edelgard in this regard just like how GW sees Claude become like Edelgard as well.

This is Anakin Skywalker: The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior. On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace. He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it.
