I'm honestly indifferent with the Holsety thing, but damn you make great points on defending him. Would like to hear a character analysis someday.
Tbh I think most people are indifferent. He’s just one of my favorite characters and I’m sure most if not all of my followers know by now how much of a sucker I am I am for Silesians. Granted I’ve met a chunk of great new people since December 2016 and lots of people love him now as well after I’ve talked about him so much! That and well, me screaming about my feelings for him and Sety. Yeah.
Tbh those are like the more tiny points I guess you could say? Also with less detail. I’ve written many times on him before but damn if I’d be willing to do it again. Just because he wasn’t the absolute perfect parent figure doesn’t mean he’s a terrible father and it’s not like he didn’t acknowledge them as his kids. That was so blatantly fake like haha yeah let’s all pretend I’m not your dad but I’ll go apologize to Fee and stuff and like completely acknowledge I am in fact the dad in this scenario. Yeah, you tried Holsety. Guess you loved the little humans too much. :))))
Basically my top problem with the way he’s treated by the fandom is that NOBODY really looks at it from his perspective and tries to understand he’s NOT human. You can’t just compare a human’s standards to a dragon’s who wasn’t even supposed to be there in the first place. He’s trying, and he’s stumbling in his attempts, but he’s really trying.
My other issue is that Levin takes the brunt of Holsety’s mistakes and Levin wouldn’t have been like that. As it was in chapter four, Rahna had to more or less push him to stay with Sigurd and not stay home for her sake and the country’s. Considering FE5 states Sety to be older than Leaf, that means at best Levin was ever the parent of an infant child. That would be as far as he got to go raising a child. Whether Fury was pregnant or not with Fee (which again according to ages from Kaga’s scenarios would not be the case), Levin had nothing to do with Fee - at all. It’s even worse when he’s blamed for the relationship of a child who didn’t even exist prior to his death. Levin was given proper character development in chapter four and the idea of it was that he was finally getting his life together and knew what he had to do, then he died. The way Kaga says it in his interviews when asked about Cuan is that it’s war, and it’s unrealistic if characters don’t die just because they’re major characters. Levin finally had something going, things were getting better for him, and it all got cut short. Tbh? I find that there’s no excuse for people not to know this is how the story went considering all of Kaga’s interviews, dream scenarios, the ending, the opening demo of Levin’s death and revival by Holsety and the manga (gen 1 being finished in translation, and even Light Inheritors dropping massive hints about Holsety such as “are you even human?”) are all available online. Fact is, Levin had nothing to do with what Holsety decided to do and they’re different people with different minds.
If I write a Holsety analysis though I’d be more than happy to add the stuff in about Levin because blaming him for things he was too dead to do just grinds my gears. In fact, if you’ve ever heard the sound of nails raking a chalk board, that’s basically the sound that would come out of mouth to all the Holsety and Levin hate which is completely unwarranted.
#Gray Units#Holsety#Tbh hating most characters in FE4 is pretty difficult unless it's like Shagaal and Hilda#Some would say Manfloy and Blume as well#I did mention I'd write character analysis posts a little while back too tho#But like FE4 was never meant to be a game with black and white morality#Very few characters who aren't just one time boss units are just ''pure evil''#but tbh I love the mix there is WITH those pure evil types because like#in the real world too we don't have just every single person being gray morality#There ARE just absolutely shitty people out there who are like Shagaal or Hilda#I don't WANT every single solitary villain type to be categorized as gray morality#because that gets boring and I really appreciate seeing that some people are just irredeemable assholes#Yet for some reason Holsety and Levin get more hate for being good people than say#characters like Hilda and Shagaal who are actually absolutely horrific people#It kind of astounds me tbh. If Holsety was in our world trying to save US#I'd be like nah don't even worry about it go home hon#Jugdral is one thing but we're not worth your time or saving so don't waste your effort#I could never stand it if he came to save us or something and people just looked down on him#Like if you'd make him feel like shit for being here then why should he be here to help us? You know?#Thankfully in Jugdral he only struggles with Fee really and Sety to a lesser extent#and most people appreciate him even without knowing who he really is save for Celice in the end
