#you just can’t introduce shahid and have Claude respond to his death Like That and expect me to be normal

[pegasusrightsforall]

Three Hopes really did such a fundamental reset on the way that I see Claude, but not in the way that most people mean it. Nothing that Claude himself did really surprised me. To the contrary, it confirmed that the most controversial aspects of my interpretation of him were accurate. What really fucked me up is the existence of Shahid. I had been so sure that that man was an only child. But the minute Shahid showed up and he responded to the whole ordeal Like That I was like oh. Oh no. This man is not an only child. And I don’t think this is his only dead brother either.

Before Three Hopes the fundamentals of my Claude interpretations all came from factual text. But now? I fundamentally can not separate my opinions on Claude von Riegan from the head canon that he had a twin brother who was successfully assassinated. Like the text doesn’t say that. But it feels so so real to me that it does.
