the thing about sylvain vs zelos, who was clearly the inspiration for his character, and the way their respective fandoms interpret each other truly doesnt Actually come down to that tales of fans are like smarter with media analysis because i have truly met some rocks for brains tales of fans but its that the game Does Not let you not look at it and hammers it in over and over the point of zelos and the Trick that zelos has been playing

the difference between scenes like zelos telling about his memory in the snow with his mother vs sylvain talking about being thrown down the well and nobody coming looking for him for nearly a full day should be... basically nothing, on paper. like this should be a 1 for 1 here. but unfortunately 3h lacks the bravery to explore sylvain and the seriousness of him and his many traumas, of the implications of sexual exploitation and the narratives of what this and other types of abuse can do to someone set up to believe there is one path for them in life and the ways they hurt others while hurting themselves. and also quite frankly the (possibly accidental for zelos tbf but still very much there) themes of compulsory heterosexuality (which also inherently ties into all the other stuff in a perfect little fucked up and insanely well written present with a little bow ready to absolutely obliterate you when you open it)

and its all so fucking disappointing that they dont actually go all the way committed with Any of it and then took a large majority of it to be their fucking joke and gimmick and haha funny because holy fucking shit you base a character off of ZELOS WILDER and then FALL FOR THE ZELOS TRICK? WITH YOUR OWN ZELOS EXPY??? COME ON
