(I know Felix does more than scowl and hit things with swords, but my heart was delighted to see that twitch of lips.)
I took a break from the TDM to finally finally catch up on my PSLs, but I only have one left before the oldest one is from the TDM, so I’ll be coming back in soon.
I’ve got 18 threads on the TDM currently (tag out to others tagging me ratio is 7-11). Who could have guessed back when I was be so slow toward the end of Luceti?
Reading the comic where everyone who isn’t an asshole thinks Leslie is so cute, and I thought, “well, there are too many variables to control to make this happen in a game.” But so far there are more people endeared to her cuteness than people whose opinion is more neutral.
felix insists he's actually capable of emotions sometimes thanks
Besides being angry and/or upset with his friends?
Hey he feels other emotions at least on a biweekly basis
Well, at least he’s got a cycle.
Can't hold a sword properly, can't recognize an animal trail...Leslie's life experience could not be much less like Felix's.
Also Leslie is currently quite sure that Lorenz the giant antlered faun is some kind of dream spirit.
The first use of Leslie's "extremely excited!!" icon is the first icon I used on the thread with Hubert. The mood has shifted by now.
Felix is so Weak to cute girls
if it's a cute girl who is doing her best, double that
sing a dumb song and he'll be completely slain
LMAO I guess I am taking the Annette route.
Leslie doesn't know any songs, but "doing her best" is her default state.
Felix: I hate chivalry
Also Felix: oh no she is small and cute and Good, I must protect
I really do need to watch more of Felix's supports, because that sounds like good content.
oh my god yes Felix is amazing
I was planning to see how many came up in the playthroughs of the game I was watching, and then I just...never found a good opportunity to keep going on the Azure Moon video I was in.
my top five are Dimitri, Felix, Sylvain, Claude, and Edelgard, don't make me put them in order because I can't
Gosh, telling someone to put their favourite characters in order is evil.
I could probably safely put Dimitri on top, but not necessarily because I love him the most and more because I enjoy playing him the most
After I play a character for a long time, it absolutely boosts them up my favourite character lists.
felix is gonna teach her how to sword, just watch
she's already had the obligatory faerghus "leave the child in the woods and see if they find their way home" tutorial
teaching a child how to sword is how to take care of a child, right?
right, just put some sharp metal in the kid's hand, it'll work out
Leslie is a squishy bean that probably needs a lil rapier though
uh, of course, the child learns to protect herself. child: cared for
she needs something shorter for her size too so she's not running it into the floor constantly
obviously. so being a truly responsible babysitter means getting her a weapon that fits her build. u can do it, felix
get that girl a dagger, watch the dimitri that reserved cry when he thinks of el
there is one point with sylvain on which felix agrees and thats that giving daggers to girls is dumb
especially girls with tiny little arms and no reach
"what will she do with a dagger? she can't even reach any vital organs"
What if, and I’m just spitballing here, but what if you gave her a non-metal, non-sharp sword to start with?
Apparently TDP Soren is thinking about teaching her knightly combat skills already, so she might be getting lots of lessons in swordwork.
well, yes, she'll have to practice first. build up some muscle definition. then, when leslie is ripped, she can begin the true training
Leslie wants to get big and strong like her adoptive mom, so she absolutely would be down with getting ripped.
The editor of the translation I've been following keeps going "no, stay small and cute!!" and I'm like "GET RIPPED AND CUTE."
her goals get the felix stamp of approval
Though she has a long way to go from her pathetic starting point in physical strength.
Nonsense almost all organs are vital organs with at least two inches of stab
It's hard to even reach the stomach sometimes when you're 4'3".
Oh, it can be reached. Kids that tall have stabbed me in the throat at my bigger game hahaha
hylia: Very true.
gsdragono: LMAO what useful experience to have for RP. I'm realizing I've gotten so used to seeing Leslie next to people in the 6.5-7 foot range, but that's not everyone.
she looks cute with 6 foot plus protectors... let her ride the shoulders
She hasn't gotten to ride anyone's shoulders yet (though the pants they ordered for her have come in so maybe that'll be easier!!) but her biggest brother and now her mom keep picking her up and letting her sit on their arms when she gets in arm range.
I had an icon earlier with the brother on the left there holding her, and I replaced it like a fool when I could have been using it for size comparison instead of just expression!!
Meanwhile, on a meme thread where an AU Leslie has heard the word fujoshi without knowing what it means, leading to Juza coming to realization of the kind of game he's in, it gets Avenue Q up in here:
I'm endlessly amused that now both Edelgard and Hubert have laughed at Leslie apologizing for insulting Hubert by calling him unsettling.
"No, that's the point," they both say.
He's very pleased. That means it's working
He's probably about to be less pleased with what she says next.
Look, as long as she never implies harm to Edelgard or in the long run ever equals him to a father-like figure, they're gonna be fine
let him be the creepy uncle, except not creepy in a sexual way
He will be glad to know that she found it almost impossible to call her adoptive family by familial titles before the legal proceedings involved in adopting her went through, so as long as he doesn't go through an official adoption process, he's safe from being called father.
Now if some other characters manage to convince her to call him Uncle Hubert, I can't be held responsible for this.
(Though that's a long way off since she's calling Edelgard and Hubert "Your Majesty" and "Marquis Vestra" until someone convinces her to stop.)
(Because both were like "okay sure that's fine.")
