leda and such

fefw containment

the more i listen to jpn leda the more leda’s eng va just does not cut it and i think makes it actively hard to sympathize w her in some areas bc her performance is missing all the desperation of the original. you fully believe that if she is not given this man she will kill herself

i disagree that leda’s revenge is driven by guilt for her role in the cydonia massacre bc she literally forgot abt the lechner shit and then never brings it up again after he’s killed. the narrative is presents her lingering guilt but resolves it early to show that it’s NOT the inherent cause

this is another tally on my "swapping the usual fe gender roles around" list for this game since is this not the kind of impassioned plea you'd usually imagine the leading lady making on the pragmatic male general?

as a femdom enthusiast it doesn’t work if the guy is immasuculated or dehumanized what she’s doing to him should be wrong and inexcusable and something she grapples w in a complex way and the purity of his heart should shine through to defend her in a triumph of the human spirit way

can i be real i don’t think AM is really abt capital r Revenge it’s more about dimitri’s depression and relationship to his own guilt/sensitivity to violence than just an injustice done to him specifically that he has to correct
