#and mind you sylvix's non AM endings are of felix also dying so if dimitri dies it's bc you're in a non AM route

still love this line, still love this line coming from sylvain, still love the fact that it is always sylvain who talks abt being at dimitri's side, still love the fact that he gets these lines and in every route in both games is actually shown doing what he preaches and always being at dimitri's side, sometimes literally.

#DCB Three Hopes Run #sylvain will literally fight with him or die with him he does not care he will do it #i know so so so SO many ppl insist felix is dimitri's best friend #but no no no i do not think that i think that when they were KIDS that was the case #but when they got older and felix got more distant that it was eventually sylvain who #was dimitri's best friend. i ALSO know ppl say dedue is his best friend and while that is valid #it's pretty one sided in the friendship department bc dedue thinks of himself as a vassal for like most of both games #can't actually remember if he even stops thinking of himself that way in hopes #but if i had to break it down i'd say like felix and dedue are both of dimitri's hands #but sylvain is dimitri's heart. ingrid and glenn can be his legs or smth okay #but sylvain is dimitri's heart. he will always fight for dimitri even when dimitri has done wrong #he understands dimitri thoroughly and is in some ways very similar! #but it is a very consistent theme in all routes that sylvain wants to be by dimitri's side #and if he can't be bc dimitri is missing he will try to find him (AM). if he can't bc dimitri died he will be suicidal (VW) #and mind you sylvix's non AM endings are of felix also dying so if dimitri dies it's bc you're in a non AM route #and if dimitri dies then both of them are just kind of lost souls and felix ends up dying #if dimitri dies - as a chain reaction - sylvain ends up alone or arguably with only ingrid left #and probably suicidal as fuck - worse than before. dimitri is kind of like sylvain's rock but like #in the sense that it's a rock on the beach near the ocean and if the rock sylvain is shielded by is gone #then sylvain will be pulled into the ocean and drown. sylvain needs dimitri but he doesn't take that for granted #and he's always at his side ready to protect him and never strays far from him if he can help it #remember that in SB GW and CF when you attack faerghus that you fight sylvain AND dimitri in the same map #and iirc it's actually literally every fucking time (not counting lead up map in hopes) #and in VW if he's not recruited he fights with dimitri there too and dies as well #if he's recruited he's going to ''fight like he wants to die'' which is uh. wolf's literal ending in fe12 #where he fights recklessly as if trying to die after hardin's death. sylvain will fight or die with dimitri or WANT to die #and ofc in AM/AG they're at their best and safe but i LOVE that this line exists to mirror #the exploration dialogue in AM where sylvain says he'll be there for dimitri until the bitter end #and he says those things in the BL routes and PROVES them in ALL other routes in BOTH games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
