ok but fucking him in front of mirror. riding him and being able to see how fucked out and desperate you look, hands scratching and marking his back as you try to pull him closer and get him even deeper inside you

can i just say, i find it very funny how a good majority of GW defenders’ counter arguments essentially boil down to “GW makes perfect sense actually you’re all just too DUMB to understand!!1!” hdhdhsjjf fe3h fans in general have such a superiority complex, it’s genuinely hilarious watching them ardently defend the world’s most mediocre dogshit writing💀
That's such a huge part of what makes them so infuriating lmao, they act like they're so smart just cuz they're willing to overlook blatant contradictions.
"Yeah, sure, the game exclusively wrote Shahid to be a murderous racist towards Claude and wrote exactly 0 positive connections between the two of them, but Claude killing Shahid in self-defense would totally make him completely willing to kill completely innocent people! How can GW detractors just not see that!!"
"Yeah, sure, Claude himself says that Edelgard 'might be hoping she can vanquish the Alliance and the Kingdom in one go and rebuild Fodlan from the ground up' and that Edelgard wants to 'bring the fight to the rest of Fodlan,' but it TOTALLY MAKES SENSE that him reading Edelgard's manifesto OFF-SCREEN and only mentioning this AFTER SHE LIED TO HIS FACE would make him 180 and make him believe that getting rid of the Church would make Edelgard stop her war! It just makes so much sense!!"
"Yeah, sure, in 3H Claude says that Edelgard's violence both ruins his ambitions and is something the people can't stand behind, but Claude was sus of the Church and Edelgard wanted to COMPLETELY DESTROY IT, which are totally the same thing and which totally explains why Claude just becomes Edelgard 2.0 in Hopes! YOU just never understood Claude's character and only wanted him to follow Dimitri around (unlike us, who totally don't just want him to follow Edelgard around)!!"
"Yeah, sure, Claude's ENTIRE GOALS revolve around bettering foreign relations, but it makes sense for him to worsen Faerghus/Fodlan's foreign relations with Sreng because the Church was doing that already! What's so hard to understand!!"
"Yeah, sure, the devs said they wrote Claude around the idea of him being more ambitious while simultaneously giving him no ambitions for after the war and 180'ing on what he wanted to do during the war, but isn't what he's doing so much more ~interesting~ and ~dark~? Hopes!Claude haters just wanted Claude to be a goody two shoes!"
It's all just incredibly condescending and pretentious as all hell. Because it can't POSSIBLY be the case that Claude - in a noncanonical spin-off game, with a different director from 3H's in charge of it - was just written badly and OOC. It can't POSSIBLY be the case that even when disconnected from his base 3H character, Hopes!Claude is chock-full of contradictions in his characterization between his Part 1 and Part 2 iterations. And it DEFINITELY can't POSSIBLY be meaningful in any way that damn near ALL of the people that insist that Hopes!Claude is either completely congruent with 3H!Claude or is what 3H!Claude SHOULD have been... all either prefer Edelgard or ship Edel///claude (the ship which can be overwhelmingly condensed down to "Claude doing whatever it is Edelgard wants without having any character of his own" and oh, would you look at what he does in Hopes, oh gee must be a coincidence that they all lap that shit up).
Nope, Claude fans who prefer Claude as their fave lord? Secretly never liked him! It's totally US who have a fanon version of Claude we like over the canon version, and definitely not the ones who like him doing shit and saying shit and believing shit that runs diametrically opposed to literally everything he stands for in 3H ("the Kingdom threw us to the wolves first 300 years ago" yeah THAT isn't fanon Claude, nope). Claude fans who don't wholeheartedly accept that Hopes!Claude is either who Claude was all along or is otherwise 100% in-line with his 3H counterpart never liked him at all.
And don't even bring up people who like Claude but prefer Dimitri lmao.
It's just this weird habit of fandom I'm seeing nowadays, where if you don't accept the writing as perfect and if you point out blatant inconsistencies then OBVIOUSLY you either were never a fan or you just "don't understand man." It can't ever be the writers at fault for writing something bad anymore, it's always the fans who are lacking something to be able to "appreciate" what's given to them. Just look at how any and everyone who criticizes Edelgard is automatically deemed a hater of her. There's a mutual of mine who literally buys merch of Edelgard, buys zines of Edelgard, and will readily have Edelgard in their Top 5 favorite 3H characters, and even they get accused of hating her just because they have the gall to... point out that Edelgard has very noticeable flaws, both as a character and in her writing.
That's basically what I'm seeing happen with Hopes!Claude. You criticize him? You're making discourse, you aren't a fan of him, you're a hypocrite in some way, you never understood him. His fans - much like Edelgard's, oh wow would you look at that hmm must be a complete coincidence again - make it so fuckin' hard to like him, even if you do genuinely like Hopes!Claude. If you like him as the bad guy he very clearly is because he is making very clearly villainous actions? Nope, you're not liking him the right way. If you like him in concept but feel his execution was lacking? Nope, you're not liking him the right way. Just like with Edelgard, you have to like Hopes!Claude in a very specific way or you will be called a hater of some kind. And that attitude just isn't conducive to a welcoming fandom environment
