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.
