If you also wished Cyril and Claude had an A+ support, I've been writing a fanfic about them (still ongoing): I thought it'd be nice to document some of the stuff I found while writing it, so this is a commentary thread now, by chapter.

I think when talking about skintone for characters like Claude (and Petra) and why they register as darker in people's minds, you have to remember the context of 3H where white skin was very, very pale. Remove them from that, put them in a game with generally higher saturation

I think what frustrates me the most about the Edelgard/Petra A support in 3 hopes is that the writers have Petra say that she fights in the war because she's friends with Edelgard. That framing erases the underlying problem that Brigid is still not independent at that point.

Here's the comparison for Cyril and Cornelia also by the same artist within a similar time frame. Cyril's actually a little darker than what you'd get just by color picking his portrait! But it reads truer to what his skintone is in 3H because FEH tends to be more saturated

I feel like the people going "Dimitri would never say this" kind of miss the point. The story is awful with proper follow up to address these problems, but lines like this and Judith's in GW are meant to highlight Claude's point about Fodlan's xenophobia that many in fandom deny.

By not granting Brigid's independence immediately, Edelgard is making their freedom contingent on both the war ending, and Edelgard being alive at the end of it. And in the light of that, it's a frustrating moment when Edelgard asks why Petra is still involved in this war.

Pinker tone aside (which is a whole other discussion), Claude's values are generally around the same as the 3H portraits, but Dimitri's are significantly more saturated than his 3H counterpart's. As a result, color difference value between the two drops between the same artist.

I think the artist (and most of Claude's feh art artists) do try to use the 3H portraits as at least a starting point, the problem is I don't think that's generally done for lighter skinned characters, who are just on "gut instinct" and usually that ends up being more saturated.

There is a promise between Petra and Edelgard that Brigid will be independent once Petra's coronation occurs. Petra is queen, but it is a secret, no coronation has been held, and as stated in her support with Hubert, no coronation will be held until the war ends.

That makes it so that the misses hurt more, but it also makes the times that it hits connect all the harder. I remain genuinely surprised by the amount of depth that was afforded to characters like Cyril, who was allowed complicated feelings about his homeland and current home

Claude cares about every faction and would prefer a way where people can come to a compromise but also won't hesitate to answer violence with violence if necessary before attempting diplomacy again and apparently that is just really hard to grasp

As someone who really likes Claude, my biggest peeve isn't when someone doesn't like him or agree with his actions it's when people insist on flattening the fodlan narratives to be between 2 people and refusing to engage with the 3rd perspective on literally everything he brings

The closest possibility to a fallen Claude alt is probably the shadow version of him in zahras that was like "aren't you tired of being nice don't you want to go apeshit" to which Claude went "I am NOT doing that 😰" so that's that for actual Claude I guess

Neither Edelgard nor Dimitri even give much acknowledgement of his situation, Claude had to confront Almyra's failings and his own blindspots regarding his dreams, and his own family's failures in preventing Cyril from being orphaned and becoming a child soldier.

People holding the diary thing against Claude and saying it ruined him is so baffling 1) if that's his biggest crime against byleth it's a light crime compared to the other two 2) if he was actually going to steal it, the game would've continued with the diary going missing
