I saw your tags about how you think Vio is not heroic when he tells Shadow why he IS a hero, and now the idea will not leave my brain. You are so correct. This is the best understanding of Vio's actions that I have ever seen.

YEAYEAHYEAHYRAH . OH MY GOD . the whole fucking speech about heroism and then they all blast shadow to bits or whatever. oh my god. its such a . brutal contrast to me.

"but as a hero, i never strayed from my hopes and my goals" oh my god VIO. VIO.VIO CRUSHING HIM IN MY FUCKING HANDS. YOURE DEFINING THIS AS AN IMMUTIBLE TRAIT . SOMETHING YOURE BORN AS . RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF ACTIONS OF MORALS . AS IF CHANGE IN THE FACE OF CONTEXT IS NONHEROIC. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHADOW PROVES ***WRONG*** LATER. i love violet link. i love his flaws. im actually shaking him around. BLOOD. i love how vio is flat and unmoving in his belief here, and shadow is angry and hurt and visibly emotional, and shadow still gets to be in the right!!! even though he was deeply flawed and handled everything very messily, (and also BECAUSE shadow handles things emotionally) he changes his actions! and proves himsrlf a hero!!!!!!explo

#obvipusly shadow did awful shit. obviously. but vios perception that there is a defined good and defined evil is what allowed him to also #do some awful shit as well. and zelda telling shadow that he CAN be heroic is what pushes shadow into doing a sacrificial good.#do you get me #i want to know if vio ever felt guilty DURING hisnstay with shadow. and i wonder how he got past it. i wonder id he had to #put shadow in a little box in his mind. to make himself do what he viewed as necessary #(i dont think he sees everything as black and white really. moreso he HAD to to still feel like . dare i say. link)#THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK BECAUSE THIS MAKES ME INSANE.#also thank you for the compliment im blushing im looking down and scuffing my boot on the floor...#BTW!!!!!!!!!!! VIO SAYING SHADOW IS BAD FOR WANTING TO BETRAY VAATI...... WHILE BETRAYING H I M? FUCKED UP. but thats obvious.#vio betraying evil for the side of good is fine because hes a hero. shadow betraying vaati for the side of vio is wrong becausehes evil #adding this hours later for another comment that. im not good at talking. hopefully i got my thoughts across well
