*Places a soapbox by your feet and hands you a microphone* So what did you think of the Ashen Wolves?

I love the rat people. Fantastic characters. Their wide spectrum of backgrounds and situations contribute a lot to the worldbuilding, they feel integrated into the world despite their late addition, they're strong additions to the theme and messages of the story, and they have a cohesive dynamic between them that makes them actually feel like friends for years. If you think about their situation for more than five seconds it's kind of insane. I like how Yuri pretended to betray them and literally only Balthus bought it. I also just fucking love Yuri. He's so fantastic. Obsessed with him. You will notice this very quickly.

I think Yuri catfishes men on Grindr. Balthus gets catfished on Tinder and Yuri has to save him from getting scammed out of $200 for stolen feet pics. Hapi is a League of Legends addict who once said a curse word on the chat and accidentally blew up their server. Constance rebuilds her family's wealth by selling cryptocurrency to finance bros. They all live in the same shitty basement apartment that is literally never clean. Yuri pretends to be whatever sign is compatible with yours. How does he know your sign? You're asking too many questions.

Yuri will non-stop aggressively try and convince Byleth that he's a terrible person, mostly because he is the best person in the game and he resents it. He's such a fascinating counterpoint to Dimitri/Claude/Edelgard, who all pretend to be great people when they actually all suck a bit. Balthus tried to be a good person for about five seconds before giving up and wandering way to go play pool, in an insanely selfless and giving maneuver. Hapi resents existing and she's mostly a good person because it's too much effort not to care about people. Constance does good things because it fluffs her ego and would be very surprised to discover that she is, actually, a good person. They all think the other three are complete losers and they don't know why they hang out. They are the only actual found family in the game. Gay People (TM).

In Cindered Shadows, I HC that he was sleeping with Aelfric. Cindered Shadows was fucking wild, by the way.

Like what the fuck was with that? Huh? Are we going to go into more detail? What?
