[scintillatingshortgirl19]

it's just that i reeeally don't think it would have been that hard to find a solution to the timeline problem that didn't involve condemning the main character to an eternity trapped in his own solitary personal hell

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

I think it might have been future Mobius that pruned Loki to save his life in Loki’s present, but to Sylvie it would’ve just straight up looked like he murdered Loki.

[yells-of-the-not-so-danged]

So you know how Loki went and lived as a milkmaid for a couple years and had a bunch of kids? Who do you think would be funniest to find out they have Loki for an ancestor?

[lokiiied]

Glancing at something on Ao3 -

What kind of feelings Jerry was supposed to evoke, actually?

FE16 pushes the player - through Billy - to consider Jerry as a good parent, because it plays with the red herring about the evil lizard lady being evil.

And yet, even with all of his misgivings about his kid, Jerry is still the one who calls Flamey's bullshit and wonders if running away from GM wasn't the stupidest decision he ever made, just before kicking the bucket.

Being the cheap copy of the Ike'n'Greil relationship, Jerry's presence and death is supposed to be important to Billy - even in Tru Piss where they look pissed at seeing Emile and working with Uncle'n'pals.

And yet, unlike what we learn about Greil being the chadest amongst chads with 1 (one!) blackspot to his record, whenever you talk to characters about Jerry you're met with... less than rosy thoughts, even if the characters apparently handwave it away.

Let it be with Leonie, or even Alois, Billy learns that their dad wasn't the chadest of chads like Greil, but a drunkard (before Citrus' death, since Alois was a kid!) who apparently played dangerous games with people who idolised him, left his kid alone to be showered with praise by Leonie's village as he dealt with bandits, and left bar tabs all around the continent for his "apprentices" to pay.

Come the "journal" where, imo, we learn that dude was so afraid of his baby not being "normal" than he ran away from the odd lady who saved them "a long time" ago and who's pretty much not normal himself, and the place where his own wife, who displayed - partly - the same "abnormality" as their baby grew up and lived.

Then Nopes happened and did a number on poor Jerry - from mocking their kid's potential aspirations at being something else than a sword for hire, to their singing (done to cheer him up!) and actually learning he at times apparently let them go without food while he never invited them to the "thank you" parties throwns by the people his company saved...

Billy still loves their dad, but is he a good dad by any means?

With all that knowledge, after playing both FE16 and Nopes, can we really feel upset when Jerry kicks the bucket? For Billy maybe, because Jerry is important for them, but does it has the same echo as Greil's death, or even, to remain in Fodlan, Rodrigue's?

I guess if in Nopes, Jerry acted on his heel-face turn (or suddenly growing a brain) from his penultimate FE16 dialogue, we could have had a character growing beyond the red herring and the "unreliable narrator" stuff FE16's first part gave us, and maybe make for a more grounded-complete character, like confessing that he panicked after Citrus' death and worried for Billy, but regrets not being able to bring them the best life they dreamt of, and willing to apologise and let Billy grow in the same environment Citrus did.

Or maybe even explore what Jerry did in 300 years, if he never bothered to wonder why the fuck was he living to be as old as the elites, or his thoughts and feelings about Rhea periodically using hairdye to pretend to be someone else and "aging" even less than him...

Given how - or maybe i'm tainted by the fandom - FE16 thrived on the playerbase feeling characters/situation "relatable" from a doylist pov, I guess Jerry running away with bby!Billy because they weren't "normal" wasn't as weird as it sounds, babies should rightfully have a beating heart!

Bernie is a hikkikomori (forget the part where she's supposed to be the heir of one of the most important lands in Adrestia which would rightfully make her father disappointed with her (lbr, Greg would either have tried to get another kid with Bernie's mom, or got a second wife/bastard, or picked a branch member of his house to take his succession), Linhardt falls asleep and doesn't want to do his job as the next minister of Finances/whatever his dad does and prefers to hyperfocus on academic research ? How lol (please ignore the implications of House Hervring's heir being, uh, not interested in whatever his father does and how he is supposed to inherit his job (at least before Supreme Leader starts her war and pulls out her "reforms")).

Between the brackets are the first arguments that come to mind, if we consider the world those characters live in, aka Watsonian wise.

Jerry is worried about his baby's heart not beating and them not being normal? Jerry, you're not "normal" per Fodlan's standards yourself, you're over 300! Your wife had the same difficulties to emote than your kid and she might or not have had the same "heart not beating" syndrome given how it's her own heart that was transplanted in your kid

You know that what is "normal" for regular humans in Fodlan do not apply to you, your wife or your boss who oddly looks like your wife. So why was that argument even considered when you decided to run away and condemn your child to a life of "sword for hire" and danger at each day ending with a -y ?

IDK, it's as if, in BK, Kalas' bro, born without wings - which is an oddity since apparently everyone is born with some in this verse - finds Kalas weird for only having "one wing" and not two like everyone. It would be the pot calling the keetle back (but since BK is a game with coherent writing, this never happened).

Jerry runs away with the baby because the baby isn't normal despite the midwife assuring everyone they are?

Legit

300 yo Jerry runs away with the baby because the baby has the same condition as their mother despite the "immortal lady who saved his life" assuring him the baby is alright?

WTF

So, in the end, what are we supposed to think of Jerry?

Was he a character who made the best situation out of the shitty cards he was handed regarding their kid?

Or a character who swallowed an idiot plot ball to play with the doylist red herring, made errors but ultimately saw the light before being Clownya'd?

Or, given his supports and Nopes, a shitty character whose only redeeming point is to be Billy's dad, and who receives a lot of leeway by virtue of being Billy's dad by the writing team (given two fans) and the first game being from Billy's POV?

[minhyongi]

Loki has killed Thor. It happened in front of the watching eyes of the Avengers and when they finally capture him he is neither denying the accusation nor showing any kind of remorse. It's all clear and cut if not for the fact that Tony knows it wasn't Loki. Because at the very time of Thor's death Loki had still been lying on the warm bed they had shared the night together in.

[compil]

I get everyone's disappointment in Sylvie but isn't it so reductive to label her an unforgivably bad character and ending the conversation there... she shouldn't have blown up at Mobius like that but if I finally found peace for the first time in my existence only to be threatened with its destruction and my only choice to save it is to collaborate with the very organization that ruined my life in the first place, I would also be pissed tf off and also very very anxious! Not to mention the one dragging her back into this mess is also the only person she has probably ever opened up to and felt understood by. We know Mobius and Loki and OB and Casey and Hunter but from Sylvie's perspective they have all tried to kill her before and there's no guarantee that they won't again. We know and love these characters but they are not allies to her, she is literally stepping into a lion's den. She has to rely on these people she doesn't trust based on blind faith because she doesn't have much of a choice besides dying with the universe she has come to call home.

None of these characters' futures are guaranteed and I'm sure they're all just as anxious. Her and Mobius's confrontation just felt like a case of two people trying to cope with pressure in their own way and accidentally butting heads over it. Maybe Mobius's way of coping is making light of the situation and finding moments of refuge where he can (pie break, anyone?). It shouldn't be his problem if Sylvie reads this as a lack of concern but it feels unfair to validate Mobius's coping mechanisms and shrug off Sylvie's anxieties like she's having an outburst over nothing. But that's just me

[worstloki]

My issue with Thor not ‘realizing’ why Loki was acting off in Avengers 1 isn’t that Thor didn’t recognise Loki was acting unlike himself—Thor did note that—or that Thor didn’t figure out what was wrong—he did try asking—it’s more along the lines of Thor giving up, and that he accepted Loki was bad now within two days while knowing something was off when Thor himself behaved just as bad for much longer before without any specific compromising event.

[vvviktor]

I know that when loki and lorelei get out of the speed dating pub situation it's implied that they probably fucked. But. To me aoa loki is a huge virgin im sorry i will deny any ounce of proof that this guy (whom i find very charming) can charm someone. She lived the Teenage Experience sped up and has been alive for like 7 years she doesn't know shit and she WILL make jokes about it to defuse the tension. Loser behavior. I love her.

This is now a Victor Timely apologism blog. This little dude never did anything wrong in his life (except selling a pair of mechanical trousers to a congress man) and I won't tolerate any slender. So DNI if you wish any ill to Victor Timely !

[brsb4hls]

Ok, again, very slowly:

He who remains literally pointed out the only two options Loki and Sylvie had:

1. Kill him and deal with worse versions of him

2. Take over the TVA

So did you really truely wanted season 1 to end with Loki and Sylvie running the TVA, forcing abducted, brainwashed people to work for them and continue pruning timelines together (preferrably while holding hands)?

Was that what you wanted?

Honest question.

If you did, your Sylvie bashing is justified, if not, please point me to the alternative I clearly missed.
